Above the skies of Teyvat, two streaks of light rapidly streaked across.
Lumine and Aether awoke from the meteor shower, witnessing Teyvat's "cataclysm." It was at this moment that the Heavenly Principles should have appeared.
Although he had long since been lulled to sleep due to his power being exhausted, at this moment, he was merely a part of the clearance.
He said coldly: Mortals, you cannot leave this place.
Lumine and Aether resisted with all their might, but were still suppressed.
Mere mortals, how dare you usurp the Heavenly Principles? I am merely removing the "dross."
Aether resisted until the end, saying: What you are removing is not "dross" but... his words were cut short as he was sealed away.
Brother! Lumine finally said: Give me my brother back!
He then sent her into another cycle of reincarnation.
Two shooting stars fell from the night sky of Teyvat; no one knew what they were.
At this moment, the expressions of the Abyss Order were as pained as those of the Crimson Abyss. How did the "Prince" go astray again?! Damn it!
Because Aether had awakened five hundred years early, he had become the Prince of the Abyss after experiencing the destruction of Khaenri'ah.
Meanwhile, Lumine had just crawled out of the sea in Mondstadt and, after resting for a night,
The next day, to fill her stomach, she made a fishing rod to catch fish.
Just as Lumine was thinking about how to leave this world, she currently knew nothing. It seemed her fishing rod had caught something.
She immediately pulled the rod, and with a whoosh! A small, humanoid-like "thing" was reeled in.
Lumine looked at this thing and wondered if it was edible. If not, she would throw it back.
Paimon, upon hearing that she was about to be thrown back, immediately woke up.
Paimon is not food! Don't throw Paimon back!
Lumine developed a strong interest in this miraculous "creature."
After a short while,
Lumine also learned that this floating creature was called Paimon. As for anything else, Paimon claimed he knew nothing, saying he just woke up and found himself caught by her.
Lumine drew on the ground, "You mean you came from outside this world?" Paimon said.
"Mm," Lumine responded helplessly.
Then Paimon said, "A strange god stopped you here, and you woke up here?"
Lumine rolled her eyes at Paimon.
Paimon said somewhat awkwardly, "I didn't mean to! Don't worry, I'm very familiar with this world. I can definitely be a 'good guide.'"
Lumine expressed, "Really?" She felt he was a bit unreliable.
Paimon stomped his feet in anger and said, "Don't underestimate me!"
Then, the few fish Lumine had just grilled made Paimon drool. There was no way; she couldn't let her "guide" go hungry, could she?
Immediately, several fish went down his stomach. Looking at the creature before her, Lumine saw for the first time something so small eat food many times larger than itself.
And he wasn't even stuffed to death. This was completely a "foodie," wasn't it?! Lumine suddenly felt like the sky was falling.
If she had to travel with such a foodie in the future, could she afford to support him?
After resting for a while, Paimon and Lumine embarked on their journey. Along the way, Paimon explained: "The continent of Teyvat has a total of seven nations, each 'managed' by seven gods."
"I wonder which one captured your brother."
As he spoke, after passing through "Whispering Woods," they arrived before the Seven Archon Statue located at "Starfall Lake."
Paimon said: "Ahead is Mondstadt City. This is the Anemo Archon's statue. Mondstadt is a nation that symbolizes freedom!"
"The people here all use elemental power, and a Vision is a necessary condition for using elemental power."
"Legend has it that when a person's will reaches a certain level, the gods will cast their 'gaze,' and that's how Visions come about. I wonder if this is the god you are looking for?"
While Paimon was speaking, Lumine had already approached the Anemo Archon Statue. After observing for a while, she placed her hand on the statue. A burst of Anemo element light flashed.
Lumine gained the clearance to use Anemo element. Even Paimon's eyes widened, stating he had never seen such a situation before. "Perhaps it's because you're special, Lumine."
Just as Lumine and Paimon were discussing, a voice came from behind:
"Hey! Who are you, and what are you doing in front of the Anemo Archon's statue?"
