While I was in Mondstadt, I never imagined becoming a god.

Under the moonlight, it shimmered with a faint glow, as if a thousand breezes were flowing within it.

This is the heart of the wind god.

Wendy smiled and picked up her glass, taking a sip.

"Give it a try?" He gestured toward the Heart of God. "If it really works like you say, by borrowing the power of the Eye of God, then this thing might work too."

Xu Chuan stared at the Heart of God, his mind a little dazed.

This development is truly astonishing.

The symbol of the authority of the Seven Rulers of the Mortal Realm, something the Fools' Executors have gone to great lengths to seize, and one of the most prized treasures in the entire continent of Teyvat.

Wendy waved her hand. "Give it a try. It's not of any use to me anyway, so it's just sitting there doing nothing."

Xu Chuan knew that Wendy was telling the truth.

This guy's attitude towards the Heart of God has always been "whatever," "it doesn't matter," and "I'll give it to you if you want it."

In the original storyline, this is how the lady stole the Heart of God from him.

It was later proven that he did do it on purpose; he genuinely didn't care about the thing.

Xu Chuan took a deep breath and stretched out his hand.

The moment my fingers touched the heart of God.

The knight does not die unarmed; activate.

In that instant, Xu Chuan understood what it meant to be "a vast ocean".

If Diona's Eye of Ice is a lake, then the wind elemental force surging into his consciousness at this moment is a boundless ocean.

Vast.

Magnificent.

Endless.

The wind howled around him, yet it did not harm him in the slightest.

He felt as if he had become part of the wind, able to sense the direction of every gust of air and touch the trajectory of every cloud.

The wind blows from the grasslands outside the city, from the distant snow-capped mountains, and from the high heavens; they all submit to him and obey his commands.

Indeed, a strong wind did suddenly rise over Mondstadt, but another force appeared and quietly calmed it down.

"Hey, buddy?"

Wendy's voice pulled him out of that state.

Xu Chuan suddenly opened his eyes and found himself covered in sweat.

The Heart of God was still held in his hand, and its emerald green light was even brighter than before.

"How are you feeling?" Wendy asked curiously.

Xu Chuan opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but found his throat dry.

He released his grip and placed the Heart of God back on the table.

In that instant, all power vanished.

The wind subsided, and the world returned to normal.

Only his own heart was still pounding fiercely.

"Very...very strong." He finally spoke, his voice a little hoarse, "Too strong."

Wendy nodded, looking at him thoughtfully.

"It really works," he muttered to himself. "How interesting."

A person can obtain elemental power from their idol.

The other guy can not only obtain elemental power from the Eye of God, but also seems to be able to do so from the Heart of God.

He picked up the Heart of God, played with it in his hand for a few moments, and then put it back into his collar.

“Brother,” Wendy looked at Xu Chuan, a glint in her eyes that Xu Chuan couldn’t decipher, “who exactly are you?”

Xu Chuan remained silent for a moment.

“People from another world,” he said. “People from beyond Teyvat.”

Wendy nodded and didn't ask any further questions.

He picked up his glass, finished the rest of his drink, and stood up.

"The drinks were great tonight, and we had a very pleasant chat." He winked at Xu Chuan. "I'll invite you for drinks again next time."

“By the way, about your ability,” he said, “I advise you not to let too many people know about it for now, especially those foreigners wearing black.”

Xu Chuan was taken aback for a moment, then realized who he was talking about.

Fools.

"Understood." He nodded.

Wendy smiled, turned and disappeared into the night.

Xu Chuan sat there, staring at the empty wine glasses and plates in front of him, without moving for a long time.

After a long while, he slowly raised his right hand.

The hand that just grasped the Heart of God.

That vast and boundless power still resonated in his consciousness.

He took a deep breath and stood up.

It's time to go back.

Tomorrow morning, I'm going to the snow mountain to find Abedo.

He touched the Eye of the Ice God in his arms, and then thought of the Heart of the Wind God from earlier, and suddenly felt a little dazed.

In just one day, he came into contact with two extraordinary objects.

One is the starting point of mortal dreams, the other is a symbol of divine authority.

He himself was just an ordinary person who had traveled through time.

No.

Perhaps he is no longer an ordinary person.

He smiled, turned and walked towards Timaus's house.

The moonlight shone on him, casting a long shadow.

Chapter Nineteen: The Lady's Outrageous Remarks

Tonight, Mondstadt is destined to be sleepless.

After the daytime storm passed, the quiet night sky was suddenly filled with fierce winds.

This was not a hurricane like the Stormterror's that swept across the entire city; it was a purer, more violent wind elemental force.

It was like a giant rock crashing into the lake.

It suddenly exploded in the night sky, and visible ripples swept across the entire Mondstadt.

At the headquarters of the Knights of Favonius, alarms blared throughout the city in an instant.

"The Stormterror is back again?"

"Quickly! Everyone on high alert!"

"Report! No trace of the dragon detected! But the wind element fluctuations are increasing!"

Qin stood by the window, her brows furrowed as she gazed at the fading ripples in the distant night sky.

It's not Dvalin.

Could it be...?

Wind God?

Goethe Hotel, penthouse suite.

The eighth executive officer of the Fools, a woman, was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, also looking in that direction.

Moonlight streamed through the glass, illuminating her cold and haughty face.

She wore a black bodysuit with a purple shawl over it, and her long, fiery red hair cascaded down her back, giving her an aura that kept strangers at bay.

"Reporting, sir!" A Fatui soldier hurriedly pushed open the door and entered. "Abnormal wind element fluctuations have been detected in the skies above Mondstadt."

"Far exceeding normal levels, it's suspected to be..."

"Suspected of what?"

"It is suspected that... the Wind God has appeared."

The woman's lips curled up slightly, revealing a cold smile.

"Finally couldn't hold back anymore?"

She turned around, walked to the table, and tapped her fingers lightly on the surface.

A map of Mondstadt was spread out on the table, with several key locations marked: Favonius Cathedral, Angel's Gift, and the Knights' Headquarters.

And... the old house of the Lawrence family.

“The Heart of the Wind God.” She murmured to herself, “It seems that the Wind God, who has been missing for many years, has finally become restless.”

She raised her head, her eyes sharp.

"Pass down the order: mobilize everyone and find out the source of that fluctuation."

"Yes!"

“And,” she paused, “continue to monitor the Cathedral of the West Winds; the Lyre of the Sky must be obtained.”

The foolish soldiers obeyed and left.

The woman looked out the window again; the moonlight condensed into cold frost in her eyes, but it could not extinguish the flame in her heart.

"Barbatos, an incompetent god who couldn't even discipline his own pet."

She spoke softly, her tone full of contempt.

"Whether it's the Heart of the Wind God or the kingdom of Mondstadt, sooner or later they will all be bathed in the majesty of Her Majesty the Ice Queen."

The night was darker.

The Fools came out in full force and encountered the Knights of Favonius several times in the streets and alleys. The two sides were on the verge of fighting, but both restrained themselves from actually making a move.

Tonight, the entire city of Mondstadt is rife with undercurrents.

The guy who caused all this has already returned home and is fast asleep in bed.

In fact, if Wendy hadn't helped cover it up...

All parties will pinpoint Xu Chuan's location immediately.

After this day, Mondstadt will not only see heroes who defeat dragons, but will also welcome a stranger who seems to be the god of wind.

At that time, the Fools' firepower will be focused entirely on him.

The person whose heart and soul were ripped out might have changed from Wendy to Xu Chuan.

But this is Mondstadt, and the wind god will protect you.

The next morning, sunlight streamed through the window and shone on Xu Chuan's face.

He opened his eyes and stretched.

Without sugar waiting by the bedside early, holding a little notebook to do his tests, I suddenly felt a little unaccustomed.

He touched the Eye of the Ice God in his pocket.

The ice element circulated within my body, bringing a cool and refreshing sensation that instantly dispelled the last trace of sleepiness.

This feeling is wonderful.
