The End — Finale

Looking at the four sisters who had come to see her off, Felina's pupils trembled slightly.

No matter how she had schemed and played mind games with others on the continent of Teyvat, no matter what great feats she had accomplished, perhaps in the eyes of her elder sisters, she was still just an immature little sister.

And as their little sister, she had already received far too much care from them.

The kindness and warmth from her sisters completely melted the defenses of this girl who had once firmly believed that "human nature is inherently evil."

Her gaze softened as she rushed toward them, embracing them tightly. Her sisters, doting on her as always, each gave her a warm hug in return.

After the embrace, Felina turned once more.

Wrapped in warmth and love, she no longer chose to escape but instead faced her emotions head-on, walking towards Focalors and Furina.

Seeing her approach, Furina and Focalors both greeted her with gentle smiles.

...

Outside the convenience store, the golden hues of the setting sun bathed the streets in a warm glow.

Furina and Focalors stood together, simultaneously reaching out their hands toward Felina.

"Before, it was you who came looking for us."

"And this time, it's our turn to come find you."

"A future without you in it could never be considered perfect."

They gazed at Felina with warmth, their faces filled with gentle smiles.

"So, let's go, Felina. It's time to go home!"

Looking at the ones most important to her, Felina's face also softened into a gentle smile.

She reached out her hand, allowing Focalors and Furina to take it in theirs.

"Mm! It's time to go home!"

...

That day, an official announcement was made by the Palais Mermonia of Fontaine.

In order to save Lady Felina, Lady Furina and Lord Focalors exhausted all possible means and ultimately, with the aid of a mysterious power, succeeded in bringing her back before her soul completely dissipated.

This was formally announced to all citizens of Fontaine—Lady Felina had been resurrected and had now returned to preside over Palais Mermonia, continuing to protect Fontaine!

Upon hearing this news, the entire nation erupted into celebration. Countless people cheered for the return of their great deity, and the world was shaken by the revelation!

It had been stated before—the system belonged to Felina.

Thus, after Felina returned to Teyvat, all of the system's rewards, except for the destroyed Hydro Archon's divine throne, were transferred back from Furina to Felina.

However, this did not matter. The Law of Water's control over the Hydro element was far superior to that of a complete Hydro Dragon Sovereign.

Now that Felina possessed the Law of Water, there was absolutely no need for her to retain the fragmented authority of the Hydro Dragon embedded in the divine throne.

Previously, after Felina's death, her soul had been taken back to Earth, where Shiju placed it into the body she had originally inhabited there.

Upon returning to Teyvat, the powers of the Pure Water Creation, the Divine Body, the Law of Stagnation, the Law of Acceleration, the Law of Water, and others all returned to her body.

Under the influence of these powers, her once ordinary mortal form underwent a rapid transformation.

Her skin became fairer, her strength grew immensely, and her hair, affected by the Hydro element, changed from its original black to the same blue-white color as Focalors and Furina's.

As for Furina...

If even Focalors, as the Hydro Archon, could use a curse to sustain Furina's life for five hundred years, then what of Felina?

Felina, who now wielded the Law of Water, could even create god-level life forms. Strengthening and nourishing Furina's body, granting her divine-level strength and longevity, was an effortless task.

Thus, there was no need to worry that Furina, having lost her previous powers, would revert to a mortal and die of old age.

They would all be immortal, accompanying each other through the endless passage of time.

On this day, all of Fontaine was adorned with lights and decorations.

To celebrate the return of Lady Felina, Fontaine held a grand festival known as the Hydro Archon's Procession.

On this day, three gods, all with the same blue-white hair and dressed in immaculate divine garments, held hands as they sat together on a magnificently decorated ceremonial rail boat, traveling across the lands of Fontaine.

The rail boat passed through Fontaine's waterways and forested regions.

Wherever it went, crowds gathered to witness the spectacle. Countless devotees showered the three Hydro Archons with cheers, flowers, and offerings of fruits.

Osial, Bathysmal Vishaps, and a host of Oceanids emerged from the water's surface, singing reverent hymns toward the passing rail boat.

From the Palais Mermonia, Neuvillette stood watching the departing vessel, a gentle smile on his face.

The Melusines, carrying baskets of sweets, hopped along the streets, distributing treats.

In what was once a desert but now flourished as a forested region, the people lit bonfires, singing and celebrating, offering fine wine and delicacies in tribute to the gods.

Everyone, in their own way, expressed their joy at the return of the deity, showing their devotion and reverence.

Through these acts, they declared to the world that their god had returned.

No one questioned whether such a celebration was excessive because the gods aboard that opulent rail boat were indeed worthy of all this praise and adoration.

...

And on this very day—

Nahida once again arrived in Fontaine, carrying a small bundle tied to the end of a stick.

Zhongli also made his way there. The performance of Liyue Qixing during the battle against Azhdaha and the Cataclysm had earned his approval. Having now returned power to humanity, he had officially retired.

For this occasion, he had specially sought out Moon Carver and, after much persuasion, managed to bring several jars of fine wine that had been sealed using secret techniques.

Mavuika strode toward Palais Mermonia, boldly carrying enormous packages filled with rare specialties from the six great tribes.

Venti, cradling a few bottles of aged wine he had buried beneath the windswept plains of Mondstadt, arrived on a gust of wind.

A flicker of violet light flashed across the sky as Raiden Ei descended in a streak of lightning, landing before the gates of Palais Mermonia.

Within the Court of Fontaine, the ceremonial procession of Snezhnaya marched in perfect unison, as the Tsaritsa herself arrived, leading a delegation.

The Seven Archons gathered in Fontaine, seated together at the same table.

"Oh my, I never thought I'd live to see the day when three Hydro Archons appeared at once! What a historic moment!"

Venti, sitting beside Felina, enthusiastically poured wine into both their cups.

"Felina, I'm truly overjoyed that you've returned! Here, here—this is a vintage I've been reluctant to drink for ages! Even when the old man turned six thousand years old, I couldn't bring myself to dig it up."

"You absolutely must have a taste!"

Nahida also unwrapped her small bundle, revealing spirit fruits she had nurtured with Dendro power and entrusted to the Aranara to cultivate, offering them for everyone to enjoy.

Zhongli presented the fine wine he had procured from Moon Carver and placed a radiant, golden chalcedony as a gift for Felina.

Raiden Ei offered a bottle of exquisite sake brewed from Inazuman specialties, alongside a long sword of deep water-blue, personally forged by her own hands, as a tribute.

Mavuika let out a hearty laugh and unceremoniously dropped the massive bundles of Natlan's rarest delicacies onto the table, inviting everyone to partake freely.

Even the Tsaritsa placed a bottle of Snezhnayan fiery liquor on the table and presented a Frostglaze Crystal, continuously exuding an icy chill, as her gift to Felina.

Around the grand banquet table, the gods engaged in lively conversation and laughter.

They and Felina—perhaps, once upon a time, had been rivals, adversaries.

They had schemed against one another, used each other for their own ends, yet had also helped each other in times of need.

But today, with the calamities behind them, Teyvat had ushered in a new future.

At this moment, whatever their past relationships had been, whatever conflicts had once occurred, no longer mattered.

"Cheers!!"

Furina, Focalors, the Tsaritsa, the Pyro Archon, the Geo Archon, the Dendro Archon, the Electro Archon, and the Anemo Archon all raised their cups in unison!

Gathered together, they clinked their glasses, exchanged gifts, and in this way, they expressed their respect, gratitude, and affection for Felina.

In this way, they conveyed their joy at Felina's return.

And as Felina took in the scene before her, sitting at the head seat, her expression gradually softened.

She slowly rose, lifted her cup, and met the glasses of her friends.

"Cheers!"
