Beyond the world, endless abysses began to emerge, with countless abysses piling up on top of the world, and even giving birth to their own consciousness.

And emerging from these consciousnesses was that abyssal dragon.

Then came the era when the Dark Dragon King tore open the sky.

“I witnessed this canopy being erected with my own eyes, I witnessed the trauma it caused to the world beneath it, and I witnessed the things these crazy people did. I was a witness to it all.”

“From that time on, I deeply understood a principle: when someone tries to solidify everyone’s fate with a forced product, even the most honest children will think of the craziest way to break free from it, even if the price is their own life.”

"This is not because of so-called freedom, nor because of so-called management, nor because of so-called planning, nor because of so-called fate, but a very simple truth: that everyone's fate in this world should be decided by themselves."

"Only when each person's destiny is determined by themselves will this world give birth to their true destiny."

Fanes raised her eyelids and glanced at the golden-haired angel, whom she had seen before and who was indeed the most special one among them.

Most angels shed their physical forms or used other methods to escape, but she used a different method to avoid real punishment.

Most angels later became very secretive about humans, but she was the only one who truly entered the human world and even lived with humans for a period of time.

She learned the human magic system and even became a peak transformation magic master, while all angels actually do not need to cultivate to have great power.

She watched from high above as she traversed world after world, from Arcadia to Fendnir, and then to Patrasdel, and beyond.

She even possessed a divine eye because she hadn't done anything outrageous in the past few thousand years.

But what she didn't expect was that this angel actually overcame her fear and stood on the opposite side.

“Fate itself is a terrible thing. Facing fate will also lead to encounters with indescribable products in this universe. Although this world was created by supreme power, nothing should be eternal. Therefore, divine planning is necessary, and the canopy of heaven must be erected.”

"Without the Sky Veil, Dark Fate would have truly destroyed this world, causing Teyvat to perish in the universe."

Fanes began slowly, a right he held as he sat on the judge's bench, and neither Yunxiu nor anyone else on the bench had forbidden him from speaking.

"But whether you perish or not is not up to you. Besides, even if you really reach the point where the divine plan is completely successful, can you really avoid being completely defeated by the abyss?"

Nico shook his head and sat down voluntarily.

Her testimony has been submitted; the next witness will be the second.

The Ice Queen stood up from her seat.

She is a deity who inherited the will of the Hyperion era and has continued to this day. Before Yunxiu fully raised this banner, the one who was at the forefront of raising the banner against the laws of nature was always this Empress of Winter.

Today, she wears the Winter Crown on her gray hair. She is not only participating in this trial as one of the Seven Gods, but also as the Queen of Winter.

"My story begins in the era of my father, before the time of the Burial Fire. My father, the White Sand Emperor, was born from the corpse of the Ice Dragon. So from birth, we Winter Fairies have been destined to rebel."

"This is not fate, but a cry from each generation to the world after experiencing everything."

"After the earliest fairy kingdom was established, my father did the most important thing. He found the Third Descendant at that time, and they were going to do something big."

"That is to delve into Poheyura and find the secrets of the abyss."

"And destroy it."

Chapter 564 Final Chapter (8)

"Poheyura is the center of the entire Abyss, the origin of all the Abysses."

"So my father was going to go in here and destroy all the enemies and all the pollution."

"But throughout the entire process, even under these circumstances, that supreme god continues to launch celestial nails, destroying the kingdoms on earth. And those who rebelled against him directly resulted in us, the resistance forces, having to clear the abyss while simultaneously dealing with his attacks throughout the entire war of Pohyura."

"The so-called War of Burial Fire not only buries the fire of Nata, but also the fire of civilization."

“I know where the remnant soul of the Third Adventist is, so I will revive him, using the Heart of God and the vessel I have found.”

"Of course, I eventually learned that the resurrection had failed, but that did not prevent me from learning more about the truth of the world."

Like Nico, the Ice Queen unleashed various images and spells through magic, and people finally witnessed for the first time the story of the Third Descendant and the White Sand Emperor trying to destroy the darkness of the entire world during the Boheyura War.

The White Tsar wielded an enormous bow, whose arrows were actually spear-like creations. A single arrow could slay a large number of god-level monsters, creating a storm in Boheyura and clearing away the monsters of the entire world, temporarily revealing a clearing. Even the Third Descendant marveled at this sight.

When they finally opened the last gate of Boheyura and entered the cocoon of the abyss, the face inside was none other than themselves.

Then came the appearance of Long Yunxiu and Fanes, and the group engaged in a fierce battle.

In the end, Phanes was almost defeated, but the world did not get better; instead, it gradually sank into destruction.

At that time, the White Tsar, Yunxiu, and the Third Descendant finally learned that this world had been transformed by Fanes to the point that it could hardly function stably without her planning.

Under these circumstances, Yunxiu left this place, sending his wife Taranis out of this world, and the White Tsar returned to Winter.

He began to research ways to enable the people of this world to function normally and resist the abyss without relying on Fanes.

The Third Adventor sacrificed himself, and here he was forged by Fanes and Kleiner into the cornerstone of a stable world.

In this situation, the abyss-like Nibelungen was also banished from the False Heaven, and from then on, the abyss outside the False Heaven began to increase.

“We had a chance to try, but it was ruined here. I don’t admire or love my father that much. He did a lot of wrong things, but I don’t think what he did to the world was wrong. He may have been a tyrant, but he was someone who understood what the world really needed.”

"Therefore, from the perspective of the people of Winter and the development of Winter, I oppose my father, but as for the development of the world itself and the future of the world, I support my father."

“Even in terms of blood, he is not my father in the true sense.”

"Even under these circumstances, he still insists on the love of the demon god, that is, the so-called love of the demon god for humankind. But the question is, if the demon god loves humankind, then does the demon god's love for the people of Kanria count as love? Does the demon god's love for the dragons count as love? Or can only those he defines as humankind be called human, and only under such circumstances can true love be expressed?"

"If that's the case, then isn't love just a lie?"

"He tells us to love people, but he holds the power to define people in his own hands. This is not love, but control."

"Just like the war between demon gods, in the thousand-year-old war between demon gods, the demon gods were driven to fight each other in order to devour the fragments of the primordial chaos. In this, hundreds of millions of people died. Is this what love is?"

The Ice Queen coldly stared at Fanes in the dock. She was the first of the Seven Gods to stand up and rebel, though Zhi Dong paid a heavy price for it. However, with the rise of Yunxiu, this price was made up for, and Zhi Dong's rebellion became even braver and more fervent.

Why did Winter rebel? Even setting aside the Empress herself, Winter, as the true successor of the Hyperbolic era, began to rebel against the laws of nature from that time onward.

They once built a magnificent golden city on the grasslands, and they also truly began to think about overthrowing this old world. This is everything that Queen Winter encountered in her life.

"I once truly wanted to burn down this old world, to destroy it completely from the ashes, and then to be reborn again. Later, a young man told me that the world itself is not wrong, and we can try to change it and improve it from another perspective."

"I believed him, so I began to gradually change and improve, and to try to understand the world."

"When countless nobles were beheaded in front of the Winter Palace, I felt a sense of satisfaction. I once wondered what would happen if I brought Fanes here and beheaded him. But then I understood."

“The trial was justified. Beheading would only turn me into another Phanes, so I’m standing here now to accuse him.”

Those representatives who had come to witness the trial, seated in the hall of honor, were already moved to tears after hearing the Queen's words.

The former empress was indeed doing the right thing, but there were some problems with the path she took.

Even so, they could still sense the Queen's burning love for the people and for the Winter Solstice in her actions.

But the Queen was different; she wasn't as stubborn as Phanes in the divine plan. After seeing that Yunxiu could offer a better path, she decisively chose that side.

Because Yunxiu could provide a better life for the people of Zhidong, she was even willing to hand over the country to Yunxiu to govern.

Even while ruling the country from her throne, she was still willing to listen to the true voice.

And that is true love.

"The Seven Plans is the fastest and most stable way to make Teyvat stable, and the fastest way to restore everyone's survival. This has been practiced in many civilizations, and there are relevant records."

"So even the war of demon gods is necessary. Without the war of demon gods, this world cannot be stable. An unstable world cannot resist the invasion of the abyss, and destruction will come even faster than the war of demon gods."

Fanes glanced at the Winter Queen; she had seen the girl once before in Poheura.

Among the countless futures she saw, there was one in which the empress gathered all seven God Hearts and joined forces with the Rock King to overthrow her rule.

She didn't dismiss that future; instead, she wanted to see when she would embark on that path.

But what she didn't expect was that Teyvat would develop to such an extent in just less than twenty years of slumber.

Even as his own strength grew stronger due to Teyvat's increasing power, he sensed something was wrong, but by the time he tried to stop it, it was too late.

"No matter what kind of plan, what kind of way to divide the country, or what kind of method to obtain a position, the fundamental thing should be that people themselves must be willing."

"This is something I thought of during the winter reforms. If even the people at the bottom of society are starting to go hungry and are worried about survival, what reason do I have to bind them to my chariot to complete that almost impossible plan?"

"So you're wrong, Yunxiu is right, he's the one who can truly change Teyvat."

After saying this, Queen Zhidong quietly left the witness stand and returned to her seat in the Zhidong Kingdom, taking the seat reserved for her at the front.

“By the way, as the Queen of Winter, I should cast a vote against the death penalty, but as Anastasia, I will cast a vote for the death penalty. I want to avenge my father, so I am not a witness now, just an ordinary Winterborn.”

As winter approached, the people looked at the empress with tears in their eyes. Since the reforms that began more than a decade ago, the empress had truly changed. So they finally understood why the empress had become like this, and they finally understood what kind of development the world should have.

After the Winter Empress sat down, Kong and several Abyss Apostles also stood up.

"I am Kong, the leader of the Abyss Order, and the older brother of the well-known traveler Ying. Of course, I also have another identity that you may not have heard of: I am not only the prince of Kanria, but also one of the founders of Kanria."

"Everyone, please don't rush. The catastrophe in Kanria is a complex matter, but I can assure you that the establishment of Kanria was not initially for this purpose. In fact, you could say that the establishment of Kanria is what this era should truly be about to happen."

"The Order of the Seven should have ended with the establishment of Kanria, and a godless kingdom where humanity believes in itself would have become a true future in this world."

"Of course, we all know the final result. Ilmin, the Black King of Kanria, frantically researched the Abyss, and the five Great Sinners ultimately stole its power, and the world entered a completely different direction."

"500 years ago, the abyss's loophole erupted in the Dew Flower Sea of ​​Sumeru, which became a huge leak point, plunging the entire Seven Kingdoms into danger."

"In an emergency, the seven gods descended upon Kanria, and ultimately a mysterious person appeared and plugged the breach in Kanria, allowing the seven kingdoms to develop to where they are today."

"I think everyone can guess who this mysterious person is. That's right, it's Yunxiu."

"But of course, that's not what I'm here to talk about today. I'm going to talk about something else, which is why Kanria was founded, what this era will eventually become, and what Kanria was originally founded for."

"The answer is actually very simple: Canria was founded to rebel against Fanes."

"And the starting point of it all was the blow from the divine plan."

Chapter 565 Final Chapter (9)

Kong's impassioned speech, while indeed very reasonable, highlights the fact that most people have not actually experienced his turbulent history.

Although in this era, especially as Teyvat is nearing its end, most people can empathize with the experiences of the Void, the Abyss Order and Kanria are, after all, a nation with a great deal of duality.

Canria has a terrifying side, an evil side, and a less-than-human side.

Therefore, he received the least support, but most people still applauded him.

However, Kong didn't think too much about it. After explaining the situation of Kanria in detail, he left, and in the end, he chose to vote against the death penalty.

Zhongli looked at Hu Tao, indicating that he could say a few words, but Hu Tao shook her head. Of course, she knew the true priorities of the matter. Her going on stage was just to fulfill her wish to be a witness.

Besides, I could have continued the conversation after Zhongli had finished explaining everything.
