Chapter 828 seems familiar...
Both Kong and Xu Ning are experts in their mastery of rock elements.
After all, the use of rock element is mostly reflected in the aspect of "creation". Even for our Rock King Emperor, "rock rain" and "heavenly heart" are nothing more than the size and quantity of creation.
So, Xu Ning and Kong Wu simply walked a few more steps and repaired all the broken sections of the waterway in front of them.
"You're really persistent! All I want is to save my people who are trapped in this dark, deep water and let them return to the land bathed in sunlight. Why do you keep bothering me?"
Seemingly sensing some kind of threat, Boethius, dressed in red, suddenly appeared from the main gate of the golden castle.
The cat stepped forward and said, "Isn't it you who imprisoned our people? You took advantage of their pain and their trust in you, turning them into tools for your ambitions."
"That was everyone's own choice!"
Boethius roared, “We all believe that the old order should be restored. They handed the baton to me because they believed I could lead them on the right path, instead of you… and that Remus, choosing… death!”
The cat roared in fury, "How dare you address the Supreme One by his name!"
Boethius smiled coldly, "From the moment Remus issued the order for that rebellious symphony, he no longer deserved to be called the Supreme One. He colluded with the evil dragon to attack, destroyed the Great Symphony, and returned to the shackles of Fatuna?"
“He is clearly the traitor who betrayed Remuria, while I am the one who truly inherited Remuria’s ideals. Only I can truly save this country from his mistakes. I have spent thousands of years in the deep sea painstakingly weaving a broken melody in order to correct this upside-down world. As long as all the wills scattered in the water are gathered into one, Remuria will become one again, we will become the new supreme beings, and even gain the power to shake the very essence of the world.”
Boethius's tone gradually turned frantic, and he even reached out his hand directly to Cassiodor, "Join us. After all, you are the soul that Remus separated from us, and you are an indispensable part of us. Together with us, reverse the wheel of fate, bring back the old world, and restore justice to the earth."
The cat shook its head, "You have tarnished the Supreme's ideals, I will not condone you..."
"Once you rejoin Phoebus's music, you will naturally come to agree."
Boethius suddenly reached out, and a musical staff with chanting sounds appeared beneath the cat.
No one present could react at first, except for Xu Ning.
Xu Ning moved so fast that it looked almost as if he were working alongside Boethius, and what he did was almost exactly the same as Boethius's actions.
He shoved the empty space next to him into the revealed musical passage.
As expected, Sora and Neko disappeared into the music almost simultaneously, along with Boethius, who vanished instantly.
"Oh, oh, oh... What are you doing, you big drunkard? You actually pushed the air in..."
Paimon's fighting power surged nearly three hundred times in an instant, and he rushed up and grabbed Xu Ning's hair, pulling it hard.
Xu Ning awkwardly tore the little white hair off his head, stretched out his arm to hold her up so she wouldn't scratch him.
"Why are you getting so worked up? Nothing's going to happen to you!"
Xu Ning explained to the enraged little white-haired boy, "He is not a native of Teyvat. Neither Boethius nor Phobos could see the true nature of his soul. In other words, in that so-called Great Symphony that gathers all will and soul, he is an invincible being. At most, the enemy can only trap him for a while, but cannot move him in the slightest."
Hearing Xu Ning say this, Little White Hair finally calmed down.
"Then what do we do now?"
Xu Ning took a sip of wine and said, "Since you had time to hold off the bad guys inside, of course we should go find something that can destroy this musical instrument castle. Without the instruments, the music can't be played."
Xu Ning swam upwards towards the top of the castle with Little White Fur. When they were high enough, Paimon couldn't help but ask, "Aren't we swimming too far?"
"Don't worry, I won't abandon Kong. Look down, what we're looking for should be there."
Paimon looked down and realized that the so-called castle was actually an enormous ship.
"So this is what Sora told me, about the king of Remuria descending from the sky in a giant golden ship..."
Xu Ning nodded. "That's right, see that? The position of the rudder. It's time for this giant ship, which has lost its direction and started to ram around aimlessly, to be corrected."
"I don't think so at all. I feel like I've always been on the right track!"
As Xu Ning and Xiaobai Mao landed in front of the rudder, a gentle voice suddenly rang out in front of them.
"Hey!"
Paimon was startled and instinctively looked for Kong's back, but finding nothing, he quickly slipped behind Xu Ning.
The one who uttered those words was a harp floating in mid-air in front of the ship's rudder.
Xu Ning glanced at the harp and slowly took a sip of wine.
"Should I call you Phoebus, or your original name, Sybil?"
The strings of the harp vibrated slightly, producing a gentle note. "Just call me Phobos, after all, I am no longer just myself, but the sum of all melodies, all movements, all thoughts and all souls."
Xu Ning chuckled, "I told Remus long ago that he was incapable and that he should hand over the Golden Bee and Jade Dew to me. But he was misled by Sybil and ended up like this..."
The harp seemed to be scrutinizing Xu Ning carefully before speaking after a long while.
"You are not suited to be my companion. Although Remus is not as powerful as you, his heart is filled with compassion. He shares my wish to bring happiness to all beings in this world called humankind... But you, forget happiness, you seem to only bring disaster..."
Xu Ning laughed heartily, "It's a good thing my younger brother isn't standing here, otherwise, after hearing what you said, he would have had some unnecessary worries."
"And judging from your tone, you still don't seem to realize that you're heading in the wrong direction. You hope to bring happiness to all of humanity in this world? To make all sentient beings have all their desires fulfilled, regardless of right or wrong, good or evil, and satisfy them all. This kind of idea, which gets out of control as soon as you start playing around and will inevitably lead to a big fall sooner or later, seems so familiar."
