Chapter 292

"Me in the mirror."

The guy who had brought her the immortality curse and all this painful performance in the past also disappeared.

Sitting on the divine throne, Furina didn't feel happy.

She only felt boundless pain rushing toward her.

Furina covered her face, and tears flowed down like a flood.

"Wrong! Wrong! I should have had a better way!"

"It can't be like this! It shouldn't be like this!"

"I had other ways! Who would like this kind of performance destined for sadness!"

"If I had power... if I had enough powerful power!"

"Power!!!"

Furina suddenly raised her head, her gaze piercing through the ceiling and looking at the overcast clouds in the sky.

"I shouldn't be here! I have already grasped the opportunity to change everything!"

The scene in front of her creaked like broken glass; this world seemed to be collapsing.

"I want... I want..."

Furina's gaze condensed, and at this moment, her tear-filled eyes were as hot as torches.

"I want to cultivate immortality!"

"Since humans can't solve the problem, then I will become an immortal!"

"Focalors, the law cannot save Fontaine, but cultivating immortality can!"

"No matter what kind of despair it is, as long as I cultivate immortality! I will definitely be able to solve the crisis in the most perfect posture!"

"Focalors! This time, it's my turn to curse you!"

"I want you to resume your position as the Hydro Archon, five hundred years, five thousand years, fifty thousand years!"

Furina's gaze was firm, and she shouted. The next moment, everything in front of her shattered like bubbles.

She stood in the Heart-Asking Array without moving.

It was as if those five hundred years of life were all illusory.

That five-hundred-year one-woman show she had truly experienced was like a long dream.

But she had only stayed here for a few minutes.

A fleeting moment...

The power of cultivating immortality made Furina experience it intuitively for the first time.

Only by cultivating immortality could one truly master oneself, and even the fate of the world.

She wanted to become a true expert and let this world operate in the way she expected.

She had had enough of this hypocritical performance.

From this moment on, she wanted to master everything.

"Congratulations, Furina..."

Zhongli looked at Furina deeply. He was clear about her background.

He had even seen everything in the Heart-Asking Array through the authority given by Jiang Yan.

He was somewhat moved by the tragic life of this human girl performing divine duties.

His tone couldn't help but soften.

"Furina, you are the first person to pass the first level of the Heart-Asking Array. Do you want to continue?"

Furina nodded decisively.

Being just an outer sect disciple couldn't let her fulfill her wish.

She wanted to continue moving upward.

Walk to the point where she could realize everything.

Furina looked back at Clorinde, who was still wandering in the Heart-Asking Array, but judging by the situation, she would likely come out soon.

Furina didn't think about it anymore.

She now understood exactly what she needed.

Like the avoidable sacrifice in the Heart-Asking Array, that kind of cliché hero-saving-the-world plot she hated most.

She absolutely wouldn't allow it to continue!

Taking a step forward, Furina said viciously:

"Focalors! Don't think about dying so easily! You cursed me for five hundred years, so I will curse you to live well for fifty thousand years!"

"Your salvation play is truly rotten! Let this goddess show you what true salvation is!"

Familiar darkness enveloped Furina.

This time...

She became Focalors waiting for self-execution in the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale...

Zhongli sighed deeply and said gloomily:

"Performing divine duties as a human, suffering through a five-hundred-year painful life."

"Furina can be called a true god."

"Perhaps, she will become the second person to walk through nine levels of heart-asking."

"Heavenly Spirit Root plus nine levels of heart-asking, Furina's future is limitless... Shushan has gained another genius disciple." 【3

"The Sect Master might be very gratified."

Alice sighed and said in a low voice:

"It really is hard on this child..."

"However, the Heart-Questioning Illusion was derived by the Sect Master using great magical power to communicate with the trajectory of Teyvat's destiny."

"Which means it truly exists, so..."

"That fellow, I seem to find them familiar."

Hearing this, Zhongli and Venti immediately perked up, watching Alice with great interest.

To be honest, that Deep Sea Whale looked terrifying, but its strength was just so-so.

For the two original Archons, Zhongli and Venti, they had sufficient means to deal with it.

But the existence behind the Deep Sea Whale was a different matter.

"That thing... I seem to have heard of it before; it is the pet of an old friend's disciple."

Alice mentioned it softly, and Venti suddenly perked up, asking curiously:

"Is it from your Hexenzirkel? Could it be Rhinedottir?"

"No, it is the 'Ebon Knight'."

181. Breaking Through the Heart-Questioning Array, Becoming a Shushan Inner Disciple

Seeing that most people were still wandering in the Heart-Questioning Array for the time being, Alice simply took the opportunity to talk to Zhongli and the others.

"To be precise, it is the pet of Skirk, the disciple of the Ebon Knight Surtalogi."

Zhongli frowned slightly and said with some hesitation:

"A top-tier Archon-level Deep Sea Whale as a pet?"

Alice spread her hands.

"Surtalogi, Rhinedottir, and even I are the same; we all traverse the Sea of Quanta."

"In Rhinedottir's words, we are people who pursue certain aspects to the extreme."

"Rhinedottir is the extreme of alchemy, while the Ebon Knight is the extreme of power."

"According to my speculation, Skirk's realm should be on par with an existence at the peak of Refining Qi into Spirit."

"Surtalogi is at least at the half-step of Refining Spirit into Void, or perhaps even the early stage of Refining Spirit into Void."

As soon as she finished speaking, Venti looked at Alice with a hint of teasing.

"Then why are you only at the late stage of Refining Qi into Spirit? You were all so strong; when you challenged me back then, why did you agree to my proposal of discussing poetry and Dao after we met?"

Alice was immediately annoyed and stared at Venti, pouting.

"Please! Everyone has their own area of expertise, okay! That fellow Rhinedottir made a bunch of terrifying alchemical beasts, but isn't her own strength about the same as mine?"

"What's more! You and Zhongli, do you two count as normal Archons? Two perverts! Do you want me to expose your old secrets?"

"Do you want me to say it again about your relationship with the Time Archon of the First Throne?"
