I'm in the Teyvat running group

“Just call me Wendy,” Wendy said softly. “I knew why you came when I saw you.”

"Then now..."

"Let's go get Lord Diluc out first. He has a huge collection of rare wines! How could someone like him be defeated by these monsters? After we save Lord Diluc, he'll definitely give us a few bottles. You can have a sip, or even if you don't like wine, just smelling it is fine~"

Enveloping Yunxiu in elemental power, the two flashed and appeared directly in front of Diluc! Diluc, wielding a greatsword, was still burning with intense fire elemental power, sweeping away wave after wave of monsters. Although he still maintained a high fighting spirit, he was clearly showing signs of fatigue.

"Oh~" Wendy looked at the large number of monsters and Diluc, waved his hand gently, and pulled Diluc in front of him as well. Then he blew a breath, and all the monsters in the entire space were locked by the wind element. Then there was a soft sound, and it was as if a huge eraser had "erased" the monsters from the space, making them disappear from the entire world, as if they had never existed in this world at all!

"This..." Yunxiu's eyes widened upon seeing this moment. What terrifying power this was!

"It's just banishing them to another timeline. If they're lucky, they might come back."

Seeing Yunxiu's surprised eyes, Wendy then explained, and looked at Diluc, saying gently, "You are a descendant of Regentfende. Your presence was felt around here half a year ago."

"A small, sealed bottle containing the aura of the Wind God has appeared; I sensed it when I came here."

"I see..."

Yunxiu's eyebrows twitched. This was probably the thing that Diluc had bought up all the counterfeits on the market in the original story. It seemed he had finally managed to get the small bottle and even came here to sense the aura of a god...

“I’ve sensed Dvalin’s condition. You are certainly capable of defeating him, but I imagine you have other plans.” Wendy stroked his chin before slowly saying, “Among the Seven, I’m not the weakest, but facing the Fatui, the Abyss Order, and Dvalin all at once, even I am finding it difficult!”

"Unless someone can neutralize the power of the abyss."

“Dissolve the abyss…” Yunxiu couldn’t help but look up at Wendy. This was different from the Genshin Impact storyline she had seen in her previous life!

Certainly, in her previous life, Wendy clearly knew the Traveler's identity and abilities the moment she saw him, and may even have traveled with him in other timelines.

Although he claims to be the weakest of the Seven, and even had his Divine Heart stolen by the Lady, while Venti is most likely faking it and is unlikely to be the weakest of the Seven, this at least suggests one thing: there must have been some reason in Venti's previous life that prevented him from fully unleashing his power.

Venti's slumber was likely triggered by Dvalin's complete corruption, and the Abyss Order's attitude might even be to use Dvalin to force the Anemo Archon to "re-don his crown"!

But now, Venti is actually willing to personally deal with the Abyss Order and the Fatui, the only price being that someone can resolve the Abyss!

Could it be that this Anemo God is completely different in strength from the Anemo God in the Genshin Impact storyline?

However, isn't he himself just a wisp of wind among a thousand winds, with nothing he doesn't know?

That's right! The status of the Advent One is equivalent to that of the world. Even Istaro could not see all the timelines of the entire Teyvat world in an instant. Barbatos, who is only a wisp of wind, must at least stand in front of the Advent One to see her story and timeline!

Thinking of this, Yunxiu said, "To resolve the abyss... I think I might have some solutions."

"Oh?"

“There is a traveler who may be able to do it.”

"Really? There's something so interesting!"

“But I think the most important thing for Lord Wind God to do right now is something else.” Diluc inserted his greatsword into the lock on his back and then said quietly, “What exactly caused Dvalin to become like this? What exactly does the Abyss Order want to do?”

"Uh... haha." Wendy scratched his head and said, "This isn't the place to talk, shall we go somewhere else?"

Then, with a wave of his hand, he wrapped the two of them up. After a strange sound, the group appeared in the basement of the Dawn Winery. Next to them were Abedo, Qin, and Sugar, who were studying the scales. After watching a ball of wind element light appear and then disperse, the three of them were surprised, but they were all attracted by the green boy in the center.

"And who is this gentleman?" Sensing the immense energy, Abedo stepped forward first: "I think you must be the person I'm thinking of."

"Oh, you figured out my identity so quickly?" Wendy waved her hand and said, "I thought we could at least play a guessing game."

“This is not the time to talk about this.” Diluc casually found a chair and sat down. “A fine dandelion wine and a reward of 2 Mora, depending on the story you tell.”

"Alright, alright!" Wendy pulled up the Sky Harp and, under everyone's gaze, began to recite a song from an old era:

"The story I'm about to tell begins in the ancient times."

At that time, the gods still walked on the earth.

The Sky Dragon descended from the sky.

Full of curiosity about everything in the world

The dragon seeks its own answer.

Yet they cannot comprehend the chaos of the world.

The Wind Singer Plays the Strings

The Sky Harp answered it one by one.

Dragons are just curious children

Simply fly carefree, until now.

It listens to poetry and wants to learn to sing.

In order for all things to understand his heart

The singer and the dragon became a legend

A dark calamity then descended.

At this time, the lion's teeth were decayed, and the eagle banner was no longer raised.

When the poisonous blood of the abyss stains the Mondstadt plains...

"I will tear this evil thing to shreds with the fierce winds!"

But the song in the dragon's throat carried a corrosive curse.

Because it is also a creation, bearing the original sins.

Snow-capped peaks streaked across the sky, dragon blood rained down like a torrential downpour.

Sharp teeth sever vital arteries, venom seeps into the heart and soul.

The crown of victory is laced with deadly poison.

The dragon of the East Wind is burdened with shackles.

True freedom is not a prison to be borne alone.

"As the wind god wishes, I wish to share with you every ray of dawn in the world."

As the song ended, everyone fell silent, but Yunxiu, who had heard this, was greatly shocked. This was completely different from the second half she had heard in her previous life!

Chapter 31: A Sudden Turn in the Plot

The plot is completely different!

In the original storyline of "For a Tomorrow Without Tears," the Knights of Favonius were depleted of talent and lacked enough warriors to protect Mondstadt, allowing monsters to reach their very doorstep!

The original poem explicitly mentions "the shadow of the cathedral," and it was at this time that Dvalin was awakened by Wendy. After fighting with Dullin, Dullin perished, and Dvalin drank the poisoned blood, ultimately becoming the opening through which the Abyss Order took advantage of the situation.

In this story, Dvalin took the initiative. Although the poisonous blood of the abyss polluted the plains of Mondstadt, it is clear that Dvalin struck first and then killed Dullin in Dragonspine. Mondstadt may not have suffered too much damage!

Why is that? Could it be that Mondstadt didn't suffer significant damage from the Abyss? This might explain why Mondstadt's combat strength seems considerably greater than it appears in the game...

Diluc seemed to have figured things out as well. He looked at Yunxiu and nodded. Yunxiu took the initiative to say, "We have already sent people to look for the traveler who purified the abyss. If nothing unexpected happens, with Amber and her reconnaissance team's capabilities, they can search the entire Stargazing Cliff and Falling Star Valley within a day or two. If the traveler does exist, then finding him and bringing him here will not be a problem."

Diluc then looked at the battle report sent by the knights and said, "The Knights' frontline offensive is going very smoothly. They have located the stronghold of the Abyss Order that is besieging Dvalin and have completely surrounded it. If nothing unexpected happens, the general offensive can be launched by tomorrow at the latest."

“If there truly is someone capable of purifying the Abyss, we can create a magic circle for him.” Abedo pondered for a moment, “This will purify Dvalin’s filth more quickly and preserve his strength to the maximum extent. From my research with Miss Lisa, it’s clear that the Fools and the Abyss Order’s modification and infiltration of Dvalin was merely a test. Their technology clearly still bears some resemblance to Kanria, and they seem to be thinking of transforming Dvalin into an Abyss mechanical dragon.”

"Kanria?"

Aside from Sugar, the others immediately looked at Abedo. Diluc and Lisa knew some secrets, while Wendy did so because he had indeed fought Canria.

Yunxiu was greatly alarmed, because he finally understood why the Fatui were increasing in number the closer they got to Mondstadt. It was because the Fatui and the Abyss Order might not simply be planning to release Oser in this lifetime, but rather to combine the "eye of the world's first tractor" to create the Vortex Demon God, Mechanical Oser!

It's clear that the Fools want to use the Abyss Order, and the Abyss Order wants to use the Fools. Once the real mechanical Oser appears in this world, it won't be something that a single Jade Pavilion and a few immortals can handle.

If Zhongli in this life still intends to conduct a swift and decisive "retirement exam" without taking any action, just like in the previous life, then the final disaster will inevitably be exceptionally severe.

Thinking of this, Yunxiu became extremely anxious. Although he knew Zhongli's strength well, even if Oser was revived after being strengthened, he would most likely still be no match for this God of War.

But if it were Mechanical Oser, or even if he came with Ba Che, even if Mechanical Oser was weak, its greater power could at least hold Zhongli back for a while. In that case, Ba Che alone would be enough to cause great damage, since this life should not have fully recovered to the end of the machine yet...

Yunxiu was shocked. The plot change was unexpected. Even if the future still involves resolving issues one country at a time and gathering information, could the final outcome still be the same without gaining the upper hand?

“Yes, Kanria, I know this very well.” Abedo nodded: “My mother was Kanria’s chief alchemist, ‘Gold’ Rheindort.”

"Oh..." Wendy's face also showed a solemn expression. He looked at Yunxiu, who was visibly getting anxious, and seemed to see through something. With a gentle smile, he reached out and patted Yunxiu's shoulder: "Don't worry about anything. We made it through five hundred years ago. Although it's difficult now, it's not hopeless!"

That's true...

But who wouldn't worry?

Just as Yunxiu was determined to find a way to contact the Emperor after the incident was over, Eze, the manager of Dawn Winery, knocked on the door and entered. After bowing, he said, "Young Master, Captain Amber has found a blond warrior and a white flying object. They are waiting for you in the hall now!"

Yunxiu temporarily put aside her chaotic thoughts and walked out of the basement with the others into the hall, where she saw a blond traveler sitting "obediently" at the table, with a small white figure jumping around next to him.

"Is it Paimon and Luminous..." Yunxiu raised an eyebrow. This was another different place. In the official Genshin Impact lore, Luminous was the one who opposed the main character, and the Traveler we were controlling should be "Ku" in the canon.

If that's the case, then many historical events will be different...

Yunxiu couldn't help but feel confused about the current situation. Theoretically speaking, many changes in this world are actually good things. Wendy's strength is obviously stronger, and Mondstadt's combat power seems to be much more complete than in the original story. There are even four or five "god-like" combat powers in Mondstadt on the surface!

However, from another perspective, it seems that the crisis has not decreased relatively. It seems that the stronger the order, the stronger the abyss. In the original story, although Dvalin was also controlled by the Abyss Order, the Fatui's intervention was actually very limited, only appearing at the end to steal the Heart of God...

For a time traveler, the most helpless thing is probably losing the initiative in information. Although he knew that as long as he started to change this world, the timeline of the entire world would be drastically altered, he did not expect that his information advantage would begin to decline as soon as he rescued the Wind God...

While it's highly likely the arrival of the invaders will still have to resolve the events in the seven kingdoms one by one, the challenges they will face will likely differ.

Suddenly, Yunxiu realized something. When she went to Yujingtai, the Inazuma embassy she saw was not handled by the Kansei Magistrate like the ones on the outlying islands, but by the Sha Magistrate, and it even openly displayed light novel posters. How could this be the case in Inazuma, which was in a state of isolation? She hadn't thought of this at all at the time. It seemed that the situation in Inazuma was completely different from what she had thought.

Forget it, let's deal with the immediate problem first...

Yunxiu sighed and said to Ying, "I apologize for having the Knights invite you here so abruptly. The reason is that we need your help with something. If you are willing to contribute to Mondstadt, we are willing to meet any of your requests to the greatest extent possible!"

Ying blinked her big eyes, looked at Yunxiu, and then said, "Before we talk about the reward, let's talk about what the needs are. If it's something I can help with, I'm willing to help Mondstadt."

Paimon, standing nearby, swayed slightly and said, "We can't refuse the payment! The person who owns this big house must be very rich. Let's ask for more Mora!"

“Mora is not a problem.” Diluc stepped forward: “As long as it solves the problem, as long as you can take it, you can take as much Mora as you want.”

Seemingly stunned by Diluc's terrifying extravagance, Paimon's eyes widened: "You can't be kidding, right?! I'm very good at carrying heavy loads. If I could really show off like that, I'd keep doing it until I can't fly anymore..."

“Of course, it’s just a small amount of money for Lord Diluc.” Yunxiu smiled. “As the largest wine maker in all Watt, he handles enough Mora every day to bury Paimon.”

"Really?!" Paimon flew over with stars in his eyes. "Really? Really? Wait, I don't think I ever said my name was Paimon."

“Um… don’t worry about the details.” Yunxiu looked at Ying: “We know you are a traveler from outside the world, and we need your power now. If possible, could you help us see if you can use your power to help us try to transform a kind of power?”

Ying didn't speak, but instead gave a questioning look. Yunxiu looked helplessly at Diluc, who summoned a knight who had just returned from the front lines and was resting at Dawn Winery. The knight was filled with the aura of the abyss and elemental power. Yunxiu pointed at the knight and said to Ying, "This is the power. Can you turn it into ordinary elemental power?"

Ying walked up to the soldier and touched the knight's plate armor. A miracle happened! The aura of the abyss mixed with elemental power surged into Ying's hand, seemingly disappearing from her body. Another power dissipated from her back, turning into a chaotic mass of various elemental forces in the air. Within minutes, it was submerged in the sea of ​​elemental power. Ying nodded before saying to Diluc and Yunxiu, "I can do it, but I can't purify too much power at once."
