Before Lord Neuvillette could finish speaking, Lyney's voice came from the entrance of the Opera House, and then he quickly ran to the front of everyone.
"Everyone! Freminet has found the lost prophecy stone tablet!"
"Earlier, Lord Neuvillette said that 'only by collecting all four prophecy stone tablets can their contents be deciphered,' so the House of the Hearth brought the other three prophecy stone tablets from the ruins as well."
At this point, Lyney paused slightly, then said somewhat strangely:
"It's just that... the content on the fourth tablet seems to be a bit different from what everyone was communicating before."
Hearing Lyney's words, Lord Neuvillette and Lumine frowned in unison, then immediately walked to the four stone tablets.
Lumine looked at The Prophecy stone tablets in front of her; at first glance, they seemed unchanged, still depicting Lady Furina sitting on the throne and Fontaine being submerged by water.
The difference, however, lay in the scene elements.
Lady Furina, who should have been silently weeping on the throne... now raised her head and looked at the 'flame' beside her.
No, rather than a flame, it was more like... the symbolic depiction of an Immortal Spirit in most ancient texts.
Lumine, who often ran around with this thing in the wild, naturally recognized what it was.
"This is... an Immortal Spirit?"
Lord Neuvillette nodded in agreement, then extended his hand and slowly closed his eyes.
As a man of action, Lord Neuvillette never wasted time on words.
As the remnant water element authority he wielded resonated with the water element elements preserved within the four stone tablets, scenes from the past appeared in his mind.
Of course, this also included the origin of the whale.
Lord Neuvillette remained silent for a long time, only slowly opening his eyes about five minutes later, a look of surprise on his face.
"So… that's how it is?"
He muttered involuntarily.
"Lord Neuvillette, how are you? Those messages…?"
Paimon asked, hinting at something.
Hearing Paimon's words, Lord Neuvillette took a long breath, and after briefly collecting his thoughts, he said:
"Although the people of Fontaine are not here, I… I hope you can pass on the truth of the matter."
"The essence of The Prophecy of disaster… is the 'original sin' of the people of Fontaine."
"The former Water God, the previous Water God Egeria, felt the desire of the Oceanids to live on land."
"The Oceanids envied humans; human beauty and romance fascinated them, and transforming into humans became their wish."
"But… although water is closely related to life, Egeria, as one of the Archons, did not possess the authority to create humans."
"However, she also thought of a way: by stealing the power of the Primordial Sea within the planet, she transformed those Oceanids into human form."
"And she also used human blood vessels to contain the primordial sea water, thereby creating humans in the true sense."
At this point, Lord Neuvillette paused slightly. He looked at Navia and Clorinde in front of him, then continued:
"This is why people of Fontaine dissolve upon contact with primordial sea water, and their consciousness… returns to the form of an Oceanid."
"As for the 'sin'… it is Egeria's 'sin' of creating humans without authorization."
"The majesty of Sky Island brooks no infringement, so the heavenly principles cast a curse, causing Fontaine to one day dissolve into the Primordial Sea."
At this point, Lord Neuvillette lowered his head slightly and fell silent.
The people of Fontaine present all stared at Lord Neuvillette in astonishment, their expressions varied, but all revealed surprise at this fact.
"Is this… the origin of The Prophecy?"
Paimon scratched her head, somewhat perplexed. Her small brain had suddenly received too much information, feeling as if it had crashed.
Lord Neuvillette nodded gently, as if in response to Paimon's words.
After all of this, Lord Neuvillette looked at Mr. Yuto beside him and Lady Furina, who had appeared behind Mr. Yuto at some unknown point.
