Chapter 150

Su Bai did not inform Furina of his identity as the Sage of Sumeru.

"The Fatui, you..."

"I am here to take your Divine Core."

Su Bai cast only a single glance at the massive blade hovering above Furina's head.

He then turned his attention back to Furina.

"The power gathered above your head does not originate from your own energy."

"I assume it has nothing to do with your Divine Core."

"As long as you hand over your Divine Core, I will not interfere in your affairs."

Divine Core?

Furina hesitated for half a second.

The Divine Core was originally the key to activating the Oracle of Judgment.

Over these five hundred years, she had accumulated sufficient Law-Repayment Chaotic Energy; the Oracle of Judgment's driving force could naturally be powered entirely by this vast reservoir of Law-Repayment Chaotic Energy.

Shattering the Water God's Throne would naturally return the authority once granted by the Long Wang to the Elemental Long Wang.

The authority symbolized by the Divine Core held little true importance for Furina, who was about to die.

"The Fatui?"

"Are you a subordinate of the Cryo Empress of Fontaine?"

For caution's sake, Furina asked one more question.

"Hmm, I didn't expect you to know what's happening outside while trapped here."

"Hehe, flattery, flattery," Furina laughed.

Five hundred years had passed without anyone speaking to her—today, for the first time, a Fatui commander had intruded into her consciousness.

·· ······Requesting flowers··· ···

Furina couldn't help but want to chat with him a little longer.

"So..."

Before Su Bai could speak, Furina asked first: "If I don't give you my Divine Core, will you take it by force?"

"Of course," Su Bai replied without hesitation, gesturing toward the blade suspended above Furina's head.

"I can feel this blade is the result of your painstaking accumulation."

"If you don't give me your Divine Core, I will shatter it—and turn your entire effort to nothing."

Furina stepped back in alarm: "Don't get excited, don't get excited."

"Even if I give you the Divine Core, it won't take much time."

"I just want you to answer a question in my mind."

"Why does your Cryo Empress collect Divine Cores? To defeat Celestial Law?"

"No comment," Su Bai replied, his eyes slightly lowered, his tone cold.

"Oh, so it's a secret indeed."

"What a pity—I thought your Cryo Empress sent you to take my Divine Core to rebel against Celestial Law."

"But it seems you understand that in all of Teyvat, only Celestial Law is invincible."

"....."

Su Bai: "..."

Lisa: "Pfft! Even villains are tormented by their past lovers."

Sangonomiya Kokomi: "Mr. Su Bai seems to have gone dumb."

Hisakuni: "He looks completely impatient but has no choice."

Nahida: "Er... Mr. Su Bai must have already foreseen that Furina would keep asking him questions—he's just following the predicted script."

Yaoyao: "Favoritism! Such blatant favoritism! That scoundrel went to Fontaine and everything's calm, but in Inazuma, waves of chaos raged."

Yaoyao: "Unforgivable. Completely unforgivable."

Eula: "I wholeheartedly agree."

Lumine: "Eula, just raise one foot so Mr. Su Bai can laugh."

Eula: "???"

Eula: "Fine, fine, Lumine—you're truly a traitor to friendship for love. I'm noting this grudge."

Lumine: "See? Su Bai has no memories of Furina—his only goal is the Divine Core. Since Furina is generous, he has nothing to do."

Furina: "That's right—Su Bai is clearly not the kind of person who kills for amusement or disrespects life."

Although Furina talked endlessly, Su Bai endured it for the sake of her Divine Core.

He occasionally responded to her with a few words.

Time passed second by second.

He didn't know how long it had been.

Furina seemed to have grown tired of speaking and finally let out a long sigh.

"Alright, I have nothing more to say."

"Still, thank you for suddenly intruding—here is my Divine Core. Take it."

"But..."

Furina's expression turned grave, and she spoke earnestly: "I only hope your Cryo Empress won't use such things for anything too extreme."

"The Divine's beloved is the order of Teyvat's operation," Su Bai replied briefly to Furina.

Yet, it was precisely these words that brought a relieved smile to Furina's face.

【"Yes, the Archon's beloved."】

【"..."】

【Leave Fontaine.】

【Su Bai looked at the Deep Blue Gnosis in his hand.】

【Now, the Anemo Archon Barbatos, the Geo Archon Morax, the Electro Archon Beelzebul, and the Hydro Archon Furina.】

【All four Gnoses are now in hand.】

【What remains are the Gnosis of Nahida, the Gnosis of the Pyro Archon of Natlan, and the Gnosis of the Tsaritsa of Snezhnaya.】

【Su Bai extended his hand and checked the time.】

【It matched the time in the simulation exactly.】

【His conversation with Furina was also identical to the simulation in every detail.】

【"Proceed smoothly according to the simulation."】

【"The rest is to deeply engrave Nahida's image into consciousness."】

【"After the blonde girl and Nahida defeat Scaramouche and unlock the Great Sage Tree King's final memories, we can enter the Irminsul after them."】

【"By then, everything will be over."】

The live broadcast room erupted.

Su Bai the Great Sage doing all this was indeed exactly as they had previously speculated.

His ultimate goal was the Irminsul of Teyvat.

Nahida: "Wait, why am I unclear on who the Great Sage Tree King actually is, and what does unlocking her final memories mean?"

Nilou: "Calm down, Lesser Lord Kusanali, your mind is in chaos. We surely do not remember the Great Sage Tree King because her records were also erased from the Irminsul."

Yae Miko: "Too much, too much. Su Bai is too much. Please don't tell me you killed so many people just for someone called the Great Sage Tree King."

Su Bai: "Uh, what if I did? (Awkward)"

Eula: "Then I won't talk to you. Even if that Great Sage Tree King is your beloved, and even though what you did is very moving for a woman, killing so many innocent people for a woman is still unacceptable no matter how you look at it."

Chapter 91: The Women of Inazuma Are Definitely Not Eels

The truth is about to surface.

Su Bai the Great Sage, who once wanted to avoid Lumine, will ultimately choose to let Lumine save Nahida.

Only then will Nahida unlock the memories concerning the Great Sage Tree King.

After unlocking the Great Sage Tree King's memories, they will head to the Irminsul, and Su Bai the Great Sage will also quietly follow them to the Irminsul.

The viewers do not understand why Su Bai the Great Sage would waste effort taking a detour to have Lumine save Nahida before saving the Irminsul.
