Supreme Bishop of Fontaine

"Yes, it was after the Supreme Bishop officially entered the card pool."

"Of course, when we say card pool, we all know that it's just there for players to see the illustrations. The Supreme Bishop is given away for free, and it doesn't have a constellation, so there's no need to draw... But I'm getting off topic. What I mean is that every player now has the Supreme Bishop, and anyone who's even glanced at the character profile should have seen that very special piece of information."

"This information overturned all our previous speculations and slapped me in the face, causing me to directly overturn my previous judgment of the relationship between the Supreme Bishop and the Water God."

"Although the PVs for the Supreme Bishop and Fufu have always had a feeling of a bickering couple, I used to think it was just an illusion. It was Qi who was letting our guard down. The Supreme Bishop would definitely betray the Water God and take his Heart. This is definitely a knife. After all, the Supreme Bishop clearly stated his deal with the Ice Queen during the Liyue storyline, and because of justice... Never mind, I've already talked about this in previous videos, so I won't repeat it here. If you haven't seen that video, you don't need to watch it, because that inference has been completely overturned now."

"That's right. He was overthrown by the faction of the Supreme Bishop—the Supreme Bishop belonged to Fernina. He actually belonged to Fernina?"

When he said this, Da Ma Ge still had an incredible tone.

"He doesn't belong to Fontaine, nor to the Cathedral. As an Adventer, he doesn't belong directly to the Nothingness like our protagonist, but to Funina. He belongs to individuals, oh no, to gods... This is not important. What is important is that the Supreme Bishop is completely loyal to the Water God."

"If that's the case, then there's a contradiction in the previous plot. This is why I haven't re-analyzed the Supreme Bishop yet."

"If the High Bishop is loyal to the Water God, and only to the Water God, then his agreement with the Ice Queen is out of the question. How could the High Bishop possibly help the Ice Queen seize the Water God's Heart?"

"The information we know now is that Solstice and Fontaine are the two strongest nations among the seven nations of Teyvat. Both nations have more than one or two god-level fighters."

"And the relationship between the two nations doesn't seem to be very good. The Supreme Bishop, in particular, despite his partnership with the Ice Queen, doesn't hesitate to kill Fatui's executives or poach Fatui's members..."

Having said that, Da Ma Ge suddenly paused.

"I suddenly have a guess. That is, the Supreme Bishop is completely deceiving the Ice Queen. He is actually acting according to the orders of the Water God. The Water God of Fontaine is also Furninna. She is actually collecting the Heart of God. Her purpose is to stop the Ice Queen's conspiracy and find an opportunity to judge the Ice Queen."

Having said this, he suddenly slammed the table.

"Holy crap! This is really possible!!"

“Think about the Footprints PV!!”

Having said that, he closed the game directly, opened the Footprints PV and played the Fontaine section, then skipped Nata and played the Winter Solstice section directly.

"The God of Justice loves all the drama in court, and even longs to judge the gods."

"But she understood very well that only Heaven's Law was an enemy, and she could not be against it."

---

"She is a god no one will ever love again."

"She is a god who will never love again."

"People follow her because they believe she will one day rebel against 'heavenly principles'."

"This is it!"

Big Brother Ma said loudly and excitedly:

"Although we still don't know what the purpose of gathering all the God's Hearts will be, one thing is clear now: the Ice God is collecting God's Hearts in order to defy Heaven's will!"

"And what about the water god? What about Finina? She's on the side of justice!"

“Although we’ve always had a fondness for Fernina because of the PVs for the ‘Report to Fernina-sama’ series, and even love her silly and adorable appearance, don’t forget—Fernina has always longed to judge other gods!!”

"Judging from the Footprints PV, Finina is a slightly crazy and paranoid god. As the god of justice, what she looks forward to most is judging other gods and pushing her own authority to the pinnacle."

"But the Seven Lords of the Mortal World are not in a hostile relationship with each other. If anything, they are like seven great princes appointed by the Emperor. They all must obey the orders of Heavenly Law. Without a legitimate reason, they cannot directly attack other gods."

"However, the Winter God of Ice has now given the Water God a legitimate reason. That is, the Ice God now wants to rebel against the laws of nature. For the Water God, this is simply a timely help!!"

"I'm going, I'm going, I'm going!"

The more Da Ma Ge spoke, the more it felt right.

"The Water God and the Ice God should be of similar strength. Precisely because of this, in order to judge the Ice God, the Water God cannot allow the Ice God to obtain the Heart of God. After all, although he doesn't know what the Heart of God is used for, since he wants to collect the Heart of God in order to defy the laws of nature, allowing the Ice God to obtain the Heart of God will definitely mean that he will gain even greater power."

"So, under the orders of the Water God, the Supreme Bishop feigned complicity with the Ice God, claiming on one hand that he would help the Ice God obtain the Heart of God, while on the other hand constantly intercepting the Heart of God obtained by the Faint, even killing the Faint's executive officers and undermining their power, gradually disintegrating the Ice God's power, waiting for the right moment for the Water God to formally launch a trial against the Ice God—now it all makes perfect sense!!"

"And in this way, the development of Fontaine's plot can basically be seen."

"You know, our protagonist is absolutely incompatible with the laws of nature, so... could it be that the Water God and the Supreme Bishop will become the big bosses?"

"In the Fontaine storyline, we will completely stand on the side of the Fatui, fighting together against the Water God and the Supreme Bishop, helping the Fatui to seize the Heart of God—oh my god, can this really be true!?"

Chapter 160 Funina’s invitation

There is basically not much to say about the plot of Genshin Impact version 2.4. Although the players had a lot of fun playing it, they were also a little scared at the end. They really didn't know whether Albedo was still Albedo or not. Was he the real Albedo or the fake Albedo, or the real and fake Albedo who reached a consensus to start the shift system... In fact, it was quite a hot topic, but it was very pitiful that Albedo was still overshadowed by the Supreme Bishop of Fontaine, who only appeared in the last scene of the animated short.

The reason is that Da Ma Ge's analysis has completely stirred up the heat of the Supreme Bishop, which has not subsided at all.

Although Da Ma Ge later added that he still couldn't figure out what kind of foreshadowing Fernina's tears were, this minor detail was no longer important.

Originally, after the Supreme Bishop entered the card pool and everyone had one, his popularity was very high. After the Supreme Bishop revealed that he belonged to Funina, the cult members who were determined to support the two of them as a couple were even more surging. The cult members who did not support the two of them as a couple and instead just wanted to hug them left and right were even more crazy, led by the leader Alysia, and frantically flooded the screen with messages trying to get Kiana to add Alysia into the game to create a love triangle... In short, under such a chaotic situation, it was impossible for the popularity to drop without a few months.

Then, Da Ma Ge's analysis directly added fuel to the fire.

With the end of the main storyline of Inazuma, the next version that players should have been looking forward to the most should be the Xumi version, but now they are all looking forward to the Fontaine version.

After all, Fontaine has been warming up since the game was not even launched.

First came the program "Report to Lady Phonina", then Astraea's portrait and PV, then Astraea and Themis appeared quickly after the game was launched, and Versetti appeared in Liyue, and when it came to Inazuma, the Supreme Bishop personally showed up.

There is too much foreshadowing here, and players can be said to be looking forward to the story of Fontaine more and more. After all, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Fontaine version is definitely going to be a big one.

——Of course, this kind of thing has nothing to do with the night.

He has returned to Fontaine and started working again.

The main reason for going to Mond this time is to confirm Albedo's condition.

For Ye, Albedo is still very useful, and his importance is also extremely high. In Ye's eyes, he is even more important than Rhinedort, so Ye still wants to try his best to avoid Albedo from getting out of control.

The one who survived was the real Albedo or the fake Albedo, or maybe both of them survived... The result was not important to Ye. What was important was that he had to know the answer to this question.

If you don't know the answer, Albedo may be out of control. If you know the answer, Albedo will still be in Ye's palm.

...Although in fact, whether Albedo will get out of control or not is not a very important thing.

But this is also Ye's bad habit.

When he sees a valuable tool, he will want to hold it in his hands and put it to good use. No matter how valuable the tool is, as long as it is useful, Ye likes it - this bad habit has never changed.

In short, after confirming the answer, Ye no longer cared and hurried back to Fontaine. He still had to go to work tomorrow, so he should have a good rest tonight.

So, I returned to Fontaine, had a good sleep, had a sweet dream, and happily played a hearty game with Barbara. After relieving my previous depression, I continued my daily work at night.

then……

"Lady Finina, what are you doing?"

After finishing half of the document, Ye finally couldn't ignore Fu Nina who had been pacing back and forth in his office for a long time. He looked up at her and asked calmly:

"If you have something to say, please speak up."

Hearing Ye's question, Funina suddenly perked up and coughed twice. "Um, my loyal High Bishop, I heard that Liyue seems to be celebrating the Lantern Festival again?"

Ye nodded slightly: "Yes."

Fu Nina glanced at Ye and asked loudly again, "I also heard that the Qun Yu Pavilion seems to be going to be rebuilt?"

Ye nodded lightly: "Yes."

"That's great!" Finina exclaimed. "By the way, it seems like there won't be any trials in the next few days. It's so boring when I think about it!"

Ye asked in confusion, "Didn't Lady Funina order all trials to be postponed to next month?"

Fu Nina couldn't help but glare at Ye. "I'm doing this to make next month more interesting. It's like putting a month's salary in the bank this month without doing anything. Then next month I can just withdraw two salaries."

"You're right." Ye nodded, agreeing with what Funina said. "But by the same token, Lady Funina, you should be patient with this month's boredom so that next month can be more interesting."

"That's not true. Since there's no trial to watch this month, why can't I find something else interesting to do?"

"So, Lady Furninna means...?"

Seeing Ye's stubborn attitude, Fu Nina was furious. He was forcing her to speak first, wasn't he? Hateful. If it weren't for her sense of security, she wouldn't have come to this bastard.

But there was no other way. After all, she was going abroad. Even with Violet, Furnina didn't feel safe. Only this bastard could make Furnina feel safe no matter where she was or when.

So, Fu Nina took a deep breath and spoke directly: "I plan to go to Liyue for the Lantern Festival, and I also want to see the Jade Pavilion. I heard that Ningguang has a dream to let the shadow of the Jade Pavilion cover the Seven Kingdoms. I am very curious, so Ye, please come with me."

Hearing his boss's words, Ye, as a subordinate, certainly couldn't refuse, but he still said with some embarrassment: "This is not good, Lady Funina, what about my work?"

Knowing what Ye meant, Funina said again in a bad mood, "Leave it all to Villette. If there's anything Villette can't handle, let him call you and you can tell him how to handle it. Don't worry, I won't take you to court for this kind of thing again."

Ye couldn't help but shook his head: "Lady Fu Nina, you misunderstood. I'm not worried about this at all. How could I not trust you?"

Funina looked at him expressionlessly: "Then why don't you delete the audio you just recorded on your phone?"

Ye put away his phone without changing his expression, stood up calmly, and said calmly:

"Let's go, Lady Finina. Astraea is still in Liyue, so we can let her serve as a temporary guard."

Chapter 161 Xumi

"Kiana, to be honest, you are actually Chinese, right?"

After completing the version of Liyue's second Lantern Festival, Fu Xuan looked at the finished product and said these words to Kiana.

Kiana tilted her head in confusion: "Of course not."

"If not, why are you so good at exporting Chinese culture? You know, many players around the world are talking about the upcoming Chinese New Year, so the Lantern Festival should be about to begin."

Fu Xuan said this in a tone of admiration.

"And you actually created the Lantern Festival. After this Lantern Festival, players will know for sure—the Lantern Festival in Genshin Impact coincides with the Chinese New Year."

In Fu Xuan's opinion, what Kiana did with the Lantern Festival was really clever. She did not directly link it to the real festival, but instead invented a festival in the game and made it into a version event. The amazing thing is that this Liyue Lantern Festival is a version event that will only be opened when China celebrates the Spring Festival in reality.

In this way, foreign players will be driven by curiosity to learn about the uniqueness of the Sea Lantern Festival and thus understand China's Spring Festival.

This is not a forceful cultural indoctrination that will cause widespread disgust among players from other countries, but rather a subtle influence.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t want to understand, you can just treat it as a simple version activity, and as long as you want to understand... then this cultural communication is successful.

As Genshin Impact continues to operate, it will hold a Lantern Festival every Chinese Spring Festival. Then more and more foreign players will definitely know that the Lantern Festival is actually the Chinese Spring Festival event. When the Chinese Spring Festival comes, the Liyue Lantern Festival is about to begin. Even now, many foreign players are speculating that the Lantern Festival is about to begin because the Chinese Spring Festival is approaching, and they are full of expectations for it.

Seeing this scene, how could Fu Xuan not sigh... Kiana, you are actually a Chinese, right?

No wonder some players online are now saying that Ms. Qi is actually a spiritual Chinese. She is really very friendly to China, and her cultural output is top-notch.

Now Fu Xuan also has some doubts about this. After all, look at this Lantern Festival, look at the characters in Liyue, and then look at the "Goddess Splits the View" which has been completed and waiting to be released since the 1.0 version. It is simply amazing.

Fu Xuan even suspected that if things continued to develop for a few more years, Kiana would no longer just be a concept of exporting Chinese culture, but would gradually master the right to define culture and begin to export Chinese values.

If you could really complete this combo, who would believe you if you said you were not Chinese?

"Huh, isn't this what you all said? Genshin Impact's main target audience is Chinese players. So isn't it only natural to try to please Chinese players?"

Facing Kiana's words, Fu Xuan just blinked: "Well, it doesn't matter anymore. We are not just opening the server now."

"what?"

"Given the current global popularity of Genshin Impact, as long as the storyline remains relevant, there's no need to deliberately cater to any particular region's player base. Maintaining an impartial approach will allow for stable operations."

Having said that, Fu Xuan patted Kiana's shoulder.

"That's right, as long as the plot doesn't collapse. Please keep going. My trust in you has increased now. Xumi was made very well. I didn't expect that you could actually hold on until Xumi didn't collapse, and instead everything worked out. Kiana, I really underestimated you."

Kiana couldn't help but twitch her lips, then turned her head away and ignored Fu Xuan: "Forget it, since it's already like this, I don't need to keep up the habit of celebrating the Lantern Festival every year. After all, I also like the atmosphere of the Chinese Spring Festival."

Yes, the Xumi version has now officially started production.

This is natural, or rather, generally speaking, it is already too late.

You should know that generally speaking, for long-term operating games like Genshin Impact that are constantly updating versions, each major version is actually produced by a different team. For example, Group A is responsible for the production and operation of major version 1.0, and Group B is responsible for the production and operation of major version 2.0. After the 1.0 version is completed, the work of Group A will be seamlessly transferred to Group B, and Group B will be fully responsible for the next 2.0 version.

If we start producing the next major version when the previous major version is about to be completed, it will definitely be too late. The workload is too heavy and the production capacity cannot keep up.

Even... well, even the miHoYo from another world, although its production capacity seems to be super strong, that is compared with other game manufacturers. In fact, it often has problems with its production capacity not keeping up.

For example, the Port of Bayda, a port at the junction of Xumi, Fontaine, and Liyue, should theoretically be more prosperous than the Port of Ormos. In fact, from the perspective of the real continent of Teyvat, it is indeed a more prosperous port than the Port of Ormos. However, it was built so crudely, and the reason is that... the production team focused all their energy on the town of Petliko and the Old Sea.

——However, this problem does not exist at all for the Genshin Impact production team led by Kiana.

It can still operate perfectly even without being divided into multiple groups. One group can do multiple things at the same time. Genshin Impact, Genshin Impact, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Honkai Impact 3... They can run in all directions without any chaos. This is strength!

The problem for the Genshin Impact production team always lies with Kiana. As long as there is no problem with her, there will be no problem with the production of Genshin Impact.

And now it seems that even in the Xumi version, there should be no problems with Kiyana.

At least Fu Xuan took a look at the design of Xumi's main storyline and felt it was pretty good. She also told another fortune and it was still good luck. This... Although she had doubted the accuracy of her fortune-telling countless times when facing Kiana, otherwise why did Kiana always tell good luck?

But the facts proved that she was still the fairy Fu Xuan who never missed her target.
