Caterpillar, An, and Seymour present exchanged what they still remembered with one another.
After a round of discussion about the doomsday clock above their heads.
The three had pretty much covered everything they currently knew.
Lumine, however, was somewhat concerned about the doomsday clock overhead.
Could this be referring to Fontaine's prophecy of doom?
Had Narzissenkreuz calculated the apocalypse through the [World Formula] hundreds of years ago?
So, was the prophecy of Fontaine written by him?
Mu Yang did not force the group to recall.
Although he very much wanted to find Jakob and figure out the Narzissenkreuz Ordo's plan.
Because Jakob was still active, it meant that Narzissenkreuz had not accepted his failure as Caterpillar had said.
"Let's stop here for today. I'll prepare dinner." After saying that, Mu Yang asked the remaining three what they wanted to eat.
After all, this was his first time cooking for a Hilichurl, a mechanical dog, and a Hydro spirit.
On the players' side, it was like being edged—the plot came to an abrupt halt once again.
In Silver Wolf's livestream.
The controller that had been slammed down cried out "Ah, Minos!"
It had gotten stuck again at a critical moment.
The main storyline on the surface was stuck at the first eruption of the Primordial Sea, meaning the crisis was approaching.
On the Narzissenkreuz Ordo side, the relevant personnel had all been gathered and were just about to start recalling.
Silver Wolf was so angry she was losing it, "I'm speechless that it can even cut off here!"
[Little Wolf don't rush, make a speculation video first to satisfy your cravings.]
[You really don't take any losses at all.]
[Upload another plot prediction episode. I'll do anything.]
——————
On the Teyvat side.
Seymour, An, and Caterpillar stayed inside the Ordo to recall and piece together past information.
Lumine, on the other hand, received an invitation from the Anemo Archon and went back to participate in a Mondstadt-Liyue poetry gathering.
Mu Yang still had matters to handle in Poisson.
So he did not go back with her.
He wanted to ensure that no one would be harmed on the day the flood erupted.
Therefore, Mu Yang, transformed into a 'strict overseer,' had the residents of Poisson work overtime while also increasing their wages.
He finished the project right when the Primordial Sea water erupted.
Navia and the residents of Poisson were grateful.
Because if it weren't for Mu Yang, the sudden flood would not have been as simple as just washing away houses.
Any Fontaine person who touched the Primordial Sea water would instantly dissolve into water...
However, gratitude and thanks were only temporary.
What lay hidden behind was panic.
What had originally been only a 'rumored' prophecy.
Was now unfolding step by step.
In their minds, they began to firmly believe that the prophecy would definitely happen.
Faced with such a disaster, humans were powerless.
They could only grasp at that one life-saving straw.
That's right—it was the omnipotent god in people's eyes: the Hydro Archon, Furina!
Only Lady Furina could save Fontaine, just as she had always said.
Yet, facing the Opera House tragedy and the current rising water levels in Poisson.
Lady Furina seemed to have taken no strong measures at all.
There were even rumors that the Fortress of Meropide had already experienced a Primordial Sea eruption earlier.
It was just that the news had been suppressed.
For a time, in Fontaine where the newspaper industry was developed, rumors flew everywhere.
There even appeared public denunciations of Furina.
This was precisely the opening of the final version of Fontaine's main storyline.
Lumine, who had just come out of the prison, was faced with exactly this situation.
"How did things become so complicated after just one trip to Liyue?!"
Wriothesley shrugged, "For the specific situation, you should go ask Neuvillette. Fontaine's situation is really not optimistic."
Lumine returned to the Palais Mermonia and only learned from Neuvillette how severe the current situation was.
——————
In the livestream, Guinaifen directly cheered for Mu Yang.
"Unintentionally planting willows that grow into shade, family. If Mu Yang hadn't found work for the people of Poisson, Fontaine's losses would probably have been devastating."
[Was it really unintentional? Why do I feel like Mu Yang did it on purpose?]
[Exactly. Not to mention that Poisson has been like this for so many years—why develop it specifically at this time?]
Guinaifen also fell into thought.
As soon as Mu Yang arrived, he not only participated in a parallel major subplot.
He also saved the people of Poisson.
"Hiss— you know, it might really be that he foresaw the disaster and came to help."
[Archon Lover!]
[Mu Yang isn't an Archon though...]
——————
Guinaifen and the bullet comments chatted while continuing the plot.
In the Teyvat world.
The Fatui Harbinger, the Fourth Seat—the [Knave] Arlecchino—saw that things were gradually getting out of control.
She no longer hid anything.
She informed Lumine and the others about a ruin they had found.
Lumine and Neuvillette saw several murals in the dilapidated ruin.
They corresponded exactly to the content of the prophecy.
In the end, everyone dissolved into water.
Only Furina sat alone on the divine throne, weeping...
Neuvillette had never seen these murals before and had never heard anyone mention them over the years.
Lumine, however, thought of the doomsday clock inside the [Narzissenkreuz Ordo].
As early as more than four hundred years ago, Narzissenkreuz had used the World Formula to calculate Teyvat's apocalypse.
Could these have been painted by him?
[No way?! Holy shit, this plot is quite shocking.]
[This dual-line narrative is awesome. It's just that why the hell does miHoYo have to split it into three versions?!]
[Exactly. Is it that hard to let me eat my fill in one go?!]
Neuvillette had some impression of the Narzissenkreuz Ordo.
However, right now, he wanted to know even more what Furina was thinking.
Furina carried too many secrets on her.
Although this time Poisson had not endangered the residents' lives.
It was all thanks to the Spina di Rosula and that Liyue merchant.
As the Hydro Archon, Furina had not sensed anything in advance at all...
Thus, Lumine and Neuvillette made a simple division of labor.
Neuvillette would go ask Furina.
Lumine would head to the Narzissenkreuz Ordo to see if An and the others had any new clues.
Back then, what kind of efforts had Narzissenkreuz actually made.
How much longer until the doomsday clock turned its final tick...
——————
The player's perspective switched to Mu Yang.
Inside the Narzissenkreuz Ordo at this time.
Everyone was once again brainstorming.
They had already clarified many clues.
For example, Mary-Ann was Alain's sister and the person Seymour wanted to protect.
But combining it with Mu Yang's conversation with Elynas.
Many years ago, Alain and Narzissenkreuz had engaged in a fierce battle inside Elynas' body.
Connecting it with Jakob's mockery, Seymour had failed to protect Mary-Ann in that battle.
Mary-Ann was already dead.
Therefore, the identity of 'Mary-Ann' in the Sleeping Place was questionable.
She could use Oceanid magic.
However, cases of Oceanids turning into humans were very rare.
Unless a person had drowned in the embrace of an Oceanid, or this Oceanid had interacted with the person in every detail.
This placed extremely high demands on an Oceanid's intelligence and empathy.
Only the ace Lotia and her series could barely manage it.
[Ah, so that Oceanid from 3.8 was that powerful?]
[She was just showing off, not that she was weak.]
