Chapter 425

"Does our Shushan have that kind of talk about forgiving and pardoning enemies?"

"To quote Elder Xuanxi, if I forgive the murderer, it proves that I am the murderer's accomplice!"

"No matter what reason he has, killing for life is a matter of course!"

"Neuvillette, this matter is settled! After the trial, execute the death penalty immediately!"

Furina said it unquestioningly, and Neuvillette smiled bitterly and nodded.

It is conceivable how shocking the reappearance of the death penalty is to the entire Fontaine.

"Ms. Furina, the death penalty can be executed, but the Oratrice might..."

Neuvillette suddenly thought of Focalors' plan, estimating that the Oratrice would probably not agree to the death penalty.

"Just a machine! And it wants to defy the King's will?"

Furina crossed her arms and said domineeringly:

"In the entire Fontaine, I have the final say! No one can defy this King's decree!"

"King's Order: After Vacher's trial, announce the crimes and execute the death penalty immediately!"

"King's Order: For the Lesi interest group, those who have committed deep sins, death penalty!"

"King's Order: Neuvillette is responsible for supervising the execution of all criminals! The Oratrice shall provide convenience!"

Three King's orders were issued, and Furina's true essence circulated, instantly drawing away more than half.

But with the blessing of national destiny, Neuvillette's face changed slightly, and he touched his chest subconsciously, saying in a deep voice:

"Neuvillette obeys the decree!"

"The Oratrice obeys the decree!"

The first voice sounded; although Focalors was a bit surprised, thinking of the outrageousness of cultivators, she accepted it.

But the second voice...

This really couldn't be endured!

Just a machine, how can you also open your mouth and say "obey the decree"?

When it was built, it wasn't given consciousness!

Neuvillette also looked at Furina in confusion.

Although the latter consumed a lot of true essence, the blessing of national destiny helped her hold up more than half.

At this time, she said triumphantly:

"How about it? Is my Heavenly Son Deification Art okay?"

"Truly incredible..."

Neuvillette reacted and said in shock:

"Controlling people is one thing, but can you even control unconscious and inanimate machines?"

"What is this?"

Furina snorted and said proudly:

"When my Heavenly Son Deification Art goes a step further, my strength breaks through to the Spirit Transformation stage, and the national destiny becomes stronger."

"I can also appoint Heaven, Earth, mountains, and rivers as gods to protect Fontaine."

"If I want to, I can even appoint the Oratrice as the God of Justice! Let it have life."

Focalors and Neuvillette looked at Clorinde in confusion.

The latter nodded slightly and said softly:

"Ms. Furina is not lying; the Great Yan Lord who held the Heavenly Son Deification Art back then sacrificed to the Dao in the capital."

"Appointing the Heaven, Earth, mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas of the upper world; as far as the eye could see, they were all righteous gods protecting the Great Yan."

"Ms. Furina's technique is a very powerful technique; this point was personally acknowledged by the Sect Leader."

Although they already knew that cultivators were outrageous enough, they never thought they could be this outrageous!

Heaven, Earth, mountains, and rivers can all have life after a word.

With this ability, why bother with a five-hundred-year plan?

Directly appoint the Primordial Sea as Fontaine's protector god sea; then what problems could there be?

But this thought flashed by.

Focalors knew Furina couldn't do it yet.

The Primordial Sea is the root sea within the Teyvat planet.

With the national destiny of one Fontaine, it's really tough.

If Furina was like Jiang Yan, at the peak of Spirit Refinement and Void Return, or even the early stage of Spirit Refinement and Void Return, maybe she could do it.

But even so, Focalors saw unprecedented hope.

Furina can absolutely solve Fontaine's crisis!

Taking a deep breath, Focalors said softly:

"The so-called missing girls' case, let's not talk about it for now; our focus now is the prophecy crisis."

"The power Furina has shown is enough to solve Fontaine's prophecy crisis in the future."

"We can't help you with breaking through to the late stage of Essence Refinement and Qi Transformation, but we might be able to help with making the national destiny stronger."

"But... how can national destiny become stronger?"

Hearing this, Furina said:

"The so-called national destiny is the manifestation of the comprehensive national strength of a country—population, land, civilization, etc. —on the extraordinary side."

"If you want to improve national destiny, it's nothing more than having more population, larger land, and more prosperous civilization."

"But the population problem cannot be improved in a short time, and the land problem—Fontaine cannot expand in Teyvat without authorization."

"The only thing left is to make the civilization more prosperous!"

Neuvillette thought thoughtfully:

"In other words, make Fontaine stronger? If the Fontaine Research Institute can research more technology, it should also be considered making Fontaine stronger, right?"

"That's too slow."

Furina shook her head.

"The time span from the start of a technology project to having results and finally popularizing it might be longer than increasing the population."

"We can't wait that long."

Neuvillette frowned slightly.

"Then what should we do?"

"There is a simplest way!"

Furina's eyes were firm, and she said in a deep voice:

"Martial Dao!"

Instantly, a flash of light flashed in Neuvillette's mind, and he suddenly realized.

"Ms. Clorinde came back to pass information before and said that Liyue is already prepared to fully promote martial Dao."

"By letting all citizens become stronger through martial Dao, and then national destiny will improve; Ms. Furina, am I thinking correctly?"

Furina nodded with gratification, looking like a teacher teaching a student.

"You are still very smart, Neuvillette."

The latter's mouth twitched, and he said helplessly:

"I'll take that as a compliment."

Furina chuckled and continued:

"You don't have to worry about the source of martial Dao; Clorinde and I are both in Shushan, and Branch Head Zhongli put the martial Dao he created into the Merit Hall."

"The price is not expensive; Clorinde and I can exchange for it together, and we will be able to exchange for it soon."

"Although our strength is not high, with Branch Head Zhongli's martial Dao, we can soon adapt a martial Dao suitable for Fontaine's citizens."

"It will be sent back as soon as possible."

Focalors looked at the serious Furina and sighed in her heart.

Overall, Fontaine's prophecy crisis was still fully borne by Furina.

Thinking of this, Focalors felt a bit sorry for Furina.

"Will it delay your cultivation? Your cultivation is the most important thing."

Neuvillette asked softly.

Furina waved her hand.
