Chapter Summaries

Lin Feng explained how he could temporarily lend Dvalin Archon-level power, while Venti worried that a stronger Dvalin might make him work. After the storm ended, Lumine considered how weak she was compared with a god, and Dottore prepared to capture Dvalin while using the Unreconciled Stars operation as a distraction.

• Venti asked Lin Feng to lend him another element's Authority, but Lin Feng refused and Venti settled for borrowing strength later to empower Dvalin.
• Venti realized that a stronger Dvalin might be able to drag him back to work, while Lin Feng silently decided he would side with Dvalin.
• Lumine, Paimon, and Amber confirmed that the storm around Old Mondstadt had ended, and Amber returned to the city to report their help to Jean.
• Lumine worried about the difference between her Anemo power and the godlike storm, and Paimon suggested learning ways to escape powerful enemies from Lin Feng.
• Dottore decided to trigger the Unreconciled Stars operation early, distract potential interference, and capture Dvalin inside a domain before escaping to Snezhnaya.

Klee and Mona discovered that Mona’s search for Alice’s heir had led her to Klee, then found a ciphered Fatui document and decided to deliver it to Acting Grand Master Jean for Kaeya. Lin Feng and Venti revealed that they had planted the document to expose the Fatui’s plan to draw down Fates, while Venti prepared to counter it.

• Klee retrieved her hidden Jumpy Dumpty, and Mona realized Klee was Alice’s heir after Klee named her mother.
• Mona asked Klee about the box Alice had left, and Klee said it was in the Knights of Favonius’ Confinement Room.
• Klee picked up a ciphered document bearing a Fatui seal, and Mona identified it as a top-secret plan called “Unreconciled Stars.”
• Klee and Mona decided to take the document to Acting Grand Master Jean so she could pass it to Kaeya, hoping to earn Mora and protect Mondstadt.
• Lin Feng confronted Venti about the suspiciously convenient document, and Venti admitted he had arranged for it to reach the girls while leaving the Fatui a copy.
• Lin Feng and Venti discussed Dottore’s plan to draw down Fates and disrupt divination, with Venti confident he could thwart the operation.

Layla joined Jean and the others in investigating the Fatui’s plan to make Fates fall from the sky, which threatened to incapacitate people in Mondstadt and possibly Liyue. She proposed using the Akademiya’s sealed Divine Power Crystals to summon Lord Sage’s power and return the falling meteors to the sky.

• Layla settled on an Akademiya office near the Adventurers' Guild, and Kaeya explained that the Goth Family had traded the property for seeds cultivated by Lord Kusanali.
• Kaeya brought Layla to the Knights of Favonius, where Jean and the others examined decoded Fatui plans that Klee and Amber had found.
• Jean explained that the falling Fates could leave many people unconscious, while Lisa and Mona’s divinations faced powerful interference.
• Layla proposed deciphering more documents and using Amurta star charts with Mona’s knowledge to predict where the Fate fragments would land.
• Lin Feng encouraged Layla to present another plan, and she suggested using sealed Miniature Divine Power Crystals to summon Lord Sage’s power and hang the falling meteors back in the sky.

Jean and the others prepared to stop the Fatui from bringing down the stars over Mondstadt, while Lumine looked forward to witnessing the God of Authority’s intervention. After Diluc learned the plan, he agreed to join the operation, filling the final vacant position.

• Jean assigned the Knights of Favonius and Akademiya representatives to decipher the documents, calculate the stars’ landing points, and keep the investigation secret.
• Lumine worried that trouble followed her, but Paimon persuaded her to view the crisis as a chance to learn about the God of Authority.
• Two days later, Jean and Lin Feng reviewed five predicted landing sites and discussed who could guard them.
• Lisa volunteered for a deployment, and Kaeya suggested recruiting his brother Diluc while Jean stayed to coordinate the response.
• Diluc heard that the falling stars could put much of Mondstadt to sleep and argued that Jean should remain in command.
• Diluc agreed to join the operation to protect Dawn Winery’s employees and Mondstadt.

Dottore finalized a plan to use falling Fates to distract Mondstadt while he hunted the Wind Dragon, and Albedo discovered that Durin’s heart reacted to the sealed Divine Power Crystal. Jean and her allies prepared to summon a god to stop the falling Fates, then set out for their assigned locations as the operation began.

• Dottore told Klober that the falling Fates would target Mondstadt and ordered him to spread chaos while Dottore went to Stormterror's Lair to hunt the Wind Dragon.
• Klober swore to protect the plan and volunteered to take Archon Power Type III so he could hold off the Knights of Favonius.
• Albedo read the Fatui intelligence while monitoring Durin's heart, which began beating violently when he brought out the sealed Divine Power Crystal.
• Jean briefed Lumine, Lin Feng, Diluc, Lisa, and the others on their infiltration assignments and the danger posed by Fates falling into Mondstadt.
• Jean instructed the team to activate the Divine Power Crystals and recite the prayer to summon a god; Lumine and Paimon then headed toward Dragonspine.

Fatui squads prepared The Doctor’s meteor attack while Lumine, Paimon, Rice Ball, and Diluc moved into position to stop it. As the meteor threatened Mondstadt, Jean’s prayer was answered by a pillar of light and a proclamation summoning the God of Authority.

• Novita completed the Fatui’s meteor coordinates and warned his squad that missing a check-in would trigger their recovery procedure.
• Lumine, Paimon, and Rice Ball narrowly avoided detection while sneaking past the Fatui, and Paimon confirmed their role in the summoning ritual.
• Diluc crossed the snow mountain carrying a Divine Power Crystal and reflected on his Delusion and the God of Authority.
• Lin Feng confirmed that the participants and Divine Power Crystals were in position as the heavens began to stir.
• The cathedral bell rang an emergency alarm as a meteor broke apart over Mondstadt, and Jean prayed for the people intercepting it.
• A pillar of white light rose from the snowbound mountain, and a prayer calling upon the sovereign God of Authority echoed through Mondstadt.

Lin Feng summoned his avatar and used seven fused Archon-level powers to return the falling meteorites to the sky. As the crowd reeled from the display, Jean received a Fatui-marked note from an unseen visitor.

• Dottore saw the five pillars of white light rise from the Fatui base but decided to continue his plan to reach Dvalin in the secret realm.
• Lin Feng's ritual froze the falling meteorites, and Albedo appeared beside Lumine and Paimon to observe the divine power gathering in the sky.
• Lin Feng fused seven Archon-level elements and used his avatar's power to restore the shattered meteorites and hang the star back in the heavens.
• The avatar disappeared after the brief feat, leaving Mondstadt's residents and the Akademiya scholars stunned.
• Jean received a sheet of paper bearing the Fatui insignia as a faint "Ehe!" sounded near her.

Jean and Mona deciphered the Fatui’s plan to capture Dvalin and rushed to Stormterror’s Lair, while Lin Feng arranged for Abyss Mages to delay the Knights of Favonius. The Doctor’s secret operation was exposed just as the Knights arrived, and the Abyss Order’s unexpected intervention left him confused.

• Jean had Mona decipher the intelligence, learned the Fatui planned to capture Dvalin at Stormterror’s Lair, and decided to lead the remaining Knights there.
• Mona agreed to accompany Jean, hoping to help protect the group and use power borrowed from a restored star if necessary.
• At an abandoned ruin, Lin Feng told Aether that ten Abyss Mages would suffice to delay the Knights while he enhanced their shields.
• The Doctor reached the hidden entrance to Stormterror’s Lair and prepared to seal himself inside and activate a Ley Line Teleportation device.
• Jean and Mona arrived and confronted The Doctor, who accused Klober of betraying him before preparing to attack.
• A group of Abyss Mages interposed themselves and declared they would cover The Doctor’s retreat as an Abyss Order partner, leaving him baffled.

Dottore entered Stormterror’s Lair to capture Dvalin, while Barbatos secretly sent the weakened dragon two powerful crystals. Dvalin awakened and transformed into a far stronger form, leaving Dottore facing a battle he had not expected as the domain began to collapse.

• Abyss Mages blocked the Knights of Favonius while Dottore entered the domain and sealed its entrance behind him.
• Dottore advanced through Stormterror’s Lair, assuming the long-slumbering Dvalin would be too weak to resist.
• Dvalin woke, crushed the remaining Abyssal poison crystals on its back, and sensed Barbatos’s presence in the wind.
• Barbatos gave Dvalin two powerful crystals, which Dvalin swallowed after Barbatos reassured it about their origin.
• Dottore reached the altar and mocked the apparently weakened dragon, but Dvalin unleashed a powerful Anemo shockwave and roared as it rose.
• Dvalin transformed amid a pillar of Anemo light, and Dottore realized the dragon’s power far exceeded his expectations as the domain cracked apart.

Dvalin emerged in a greatly empowered dragon form and defeated Dottore after the Doctor’s plan failed. The Knights were left safe, while Dottore’s final message warned his other segments not to challenge Elemental Dragons.

• The Knights of Favonius struggled to break the Abyss Mages’ unusually resilient shields as spatial turbulence shook the ruins.
• Dvalin burst from the collapsing ruins in a transformed, golden-winged form, and Lin Feng discussed the power of Elemental Dragon bodies with Venti.
• Dottore realized that Lin Feng had arranged events so the Anemo Archon would not need to act, then attacked the Knights to create an escape opportunity.
• Dvalin returned Dottore’s attack, sent the spectators away, and trapped the Doctor inside a ring of wind.
• Dvalin’s Anemo domain eroded the surrounding mountains and annihilated Dottore, who sent his other segments a warning about challenging Elemental Dragons.

Dvalin returned after defeating the Fatui Harbinger, and the Knights of Favonius and Lumine’s group reacted to the Wind Dragon’s immense power. Reunited with Venti, Dvalin learned that Mondstadt had forgotten his deeds and concluded that Lin Feng must be King Nibelungen.

• Dvalin left the lethal elemental aftermath behind and sought out Venti, while Jean led the Knights of Favonius back toward Mondstadt.
• Paimon and Lumine discussed the Elemental Dragons’ strength, and Lumine worried that dragons might not always be friendly toward humanity.
• Dvalin followed the trace of the power that had strengthened him and wondered which Elemental Dragon had shared it.
• Venti welcomed Dvalin back with the Skyward Harp, and Dvalin asked why his form had changed and why Venti had staged his display before the humans.
• Venti admitted that Dvalin’s history had been forgotten and promised to make songs and seek a statue in his honor.
• Dvalin identified Lin Feng as King Nibelungen, the leader of all Elemental Dragons, while Lin Feng stopped nearby in dismay.

Lin Feng questioned Dvalin about the strength and limits of its newly transformed dragon body, while Dvalin continued to believe Lin Feng was the Dragon King in hiding. Dvalin then persuaded Venti to fly with it over Mondstadt, where Jean, Lisa, and the people witnessed the two figures together in the sky.

• Dvalin insisted that Lin Feng was King Nibelungen, and Lin Feng failed to persuade it otherwise.
• Dvalin explained that sharing Lin Feng’s power had made it several times stronger and greatly improved its control over the Anemo Element.
• Dvalin said its altered form was nearing its limit, and Lin Feng agreed that the transformation and power were taxing it.
• Lin Feng suggested that Dvalin and Venti fly over Mondstadt so the people could see and remember the returning dragon.
• Jean and Lisa discussed rebuilding Dvalin’s temple and restoring its history to Mondstadt’s education.
• Jean, Lisa, and the people of Mondstadt watched Dvalin and Venti fly together above the city.

Lin Feng flew over Mondstadt on Dvalin’s back with Venti, who encouraged him to set aside his burdens and enjoy the journey. Meanwhile, Dottore learned from the lost segment’s warning and began considering riskier research as the Fatui’s options narrowed.

• Venti and Dvalin flew over Mondstadt with Lin Feng, whose presence on the dragon’s back drew the attention of citizens and Akademiya scholars.
• Venti recalled his old flights with Dvalin and urged Lin Feng to rest from the responsibilities weighing on him; Lin Feng declined Venti’s apple wine but accepted the sentiment.
• Venti played the Skyward Harp and wished that Lin Feng would find his own sources of comfort during his journey.
• In a freezing laboratory, Dottore and his segments discussed the vanished segment’s warning about Elemental Dragons and Mondstadt becoming dangerous territory.
• Dottore crushed an improved Delusion and decided to pursue more promising research, including Khaenri'ah’s technology and the possibility of seizing divine Authority.
• Dottore learned that Capitano had encountered Mondstadt’s expedition force without results, dismissed his convictions, and began searching for a way around the deadlock.

Lin Feng received Dvalin’s scale, completing the materials needed to assemble the Anemo Archon Authority, and met Venti for breakfast in Mondstadt. Meanwhile, Lumine and Paimon discussed the Fatui’s defeat and planned to seek the Anemo Archon near Stormterror’s Lair.

• Lin Feng reflected on Dvalin’s belief that he was the revived Dragon King and considered the risks of combining more Authorities.
• Lin Feng stored Dvalin’s scale, which could summon Dvalin and connect the dragon’s power to him.
• At Good Hunter, Venti offered to pay for breakfast and explained that Dvalin had mostly recovered and had given Lin Feng the scale as an oath of friendship.
• Lin Feng realized he could use the scale to summon Dvalin and imagined deploying dragons to defend Natlan before Miss Sara brought their food.
• Lumine and Paimon noted that most Fatui in Mondstadt had been imprisoned and decided to look for the God of Anemo near Stormterror’s Lair.

Jean discussed Mondstadt’s rewards, prisoners, and the Fatui with Lumine, Paimon, Lisa, and Lin Feng before they went to Diluc’s banquet at Dawn Winery. Diluc privately invited Lin Feng upstairs to answer questions after his Delusion reacted fearfully to him.

• A Knights of Favonius messenger invited Lumine and Paimon to discuss their reward and attend Diluc’s banquet.
• Jean explained that Liyue would provide supplies and rewards, while Lisa proposed considering ransom requests from The Knave and The Captain for some Fatui prisoners.
• Lin Feng warned Lumine and Paimon not to judge the Fatui by a few Harbingers and urged them to remain vigilant.
• Lisa persuaded Jean to join the banquet at Dawn Winery, where Lumine stopped Paimon from eating the vineyard grapes.
• Diluc greeted the guests and slipped Lin Feng a note inviting him upstairs to discuss why the power within Diluc’s Delusion feared his Divine Kin identity.

At Diluc’s banquet, Lin Feng learned why the winery owner had gone to such lengths to meet him: Diluc believed Sumeru’s God of Authority had the power to make Snezhnaya restrain the Fatui. Diluc also suspected Lin Feng, as that god’s Divine Kin, might be nearly as strong as an ordinary Adeptus, and the chapter ended with Lin Feng listening to his reasoning.

• Lin Feng and Diluc completed their formal greeting, then entered Dawn Winery with the Knights of Favonius and Akademiya scholars.
• Diluc welcomed the guests, and Paimon rushed for the food while Venti hurried toward the wine; Lin Feng fed Xiao Bai and spoke with Kaeya.
• Kaeya praised Eula’s strength and character, then kept admirers from interrupting Lin Feng as he moved through the banquet.
• Diluc met Lin Feng in the winery corridor and explained that he had invited him because he believed the gods of other nations could not answer his questions about the Fatui.
• Diluc argued that Sumeru’s God of Authority was powerful enough to make Snezhnaya yield, and that Lin Feng’s shared divine power might make him as strong as an ordinary Adeptus.

Lin Feng answered Diluc’s questions about Crepus’s Delusion and strengthened it with divine power, then suggested Diluc seek a trial in Wolvendom. After the banquet, Lin Feng forced the pretending-drunk Venti to wake and begin the special training he had promised.

• Diluc asked Lin Feng whether Crepus’s use of a Delusion to protect Mondstadt could be considered just, and Lin Feng said the power was only a tool and Crepus’s sacrifice was justice.
• At the banquet, Paimon and Lumine went upstairs to find Lin Feng and discuss alchemy materials, but they passed Diluc and Lin Feng without noticing them because Lin Feng concealed their presence.
• Lin Feng returned the Delusion to Diluc after purifying and empowering it, and Diluc promised Dawn Winery would help the Akademiya if needed.
• Lin Feng advised Diluc to visit the center of Wolvendom and pass the lord’s trial for a reward.
• After the banquet, Lin Feng took the seemingly drunk Venti to the lakeside and threatened to throw him into the water, prompting Venti to admit he was awake and agree to their special training.

Lin Feng trained with Venti to learn Anemo Elemental Power and climate control, but Venti quickly gave up and decided to ask Andrius for help. At Dawn Winery, Diluc tested his altered Delusion against Kaeya and discovered its overwhelming power before preparing for a trip to Wolvendom.

• Venti briefly resolved to work hard with Lin Feng, who wanted to study his climate-control methods and learn Anemo Elemental Power.
• After the banquet, Kaeya questioned Diluc about his changed Delusion, and Diluc challenged him to a spar.
• Diluc used his altered Delusion to overpower Kaeya, trap him inside a ring of fire, and beat him after Kaeya surrendered.
• Diluc tested the Delusion on a boulder and sliced it cleanly in two, then left to arrange a statue and prepare for Wolvendom.
• Venti quickly burned out during training with Lin Feng and decided to seek Andrius's help.

Venti brought Lin Feng to Wolvendom to meet Andrius and recruit him as a sparring partner for Lin Feng’s plan to change Mondstadt’s leyline laws. After learning that Dvalin had recognized Lin Feng as the Dragon of the East Wind, Andrius agreed to help if his wolves would be protected.

• Venti explained that Andrius had sacrificed his body and power to transform Wolvendom from a frozen wasteland and help reshape Mondstadt’s climate.
• Andrius appeared, acknowledged Lin Feng’s help to Wolvendom’s residents, and invited him and Venti to the trial grounds.
• Venti told Andrius that Lin Feng intended to alter Mondstadt’s leyline laws, and Lin Feng clarified his aims and asked Andrius to spar with him.
• Andrius recognized Lin Feng as the figure Dvalin had spoken of and offered his remaining strength, asking that his wolves be spared from any consequences.

Lin Feng learned that Andrius’s death was imposed by the being who governs the laws of death and offered to help resurrect him in exchange for his service. After Andrius signed the contract, Lin Feng copied and greatly amplified his Cryo Authority during training, leaving Andrius stunned by the scale of his power.

• Andrius agreed to help Lin Feng’s plan but explained that his remnant soul was fading and that Barbatos would need to handle most of the work.
• Lin Feng questioned how Andrius could be considered dead despite retaining his memories and consciousness, and Andrius described how death affected ordinary beings and powerful Adepti differently.
• Andrius said he had inexplicably been recorded as dead and could no longer fully control the power and Authority he had poured into the leylines.
• Lin Feng concluded that the Ruling Archon of Death had changed Andrius’s status and promised to pursue resurrection, including for Greater Lord Rukkhadevata.
• Andrius signed Lin Feng’s contract to serve as a training partner and assist with resurrection research in exchange for his people’s safety and a chance at perfect resurrection.
• During training, Lin Feng copied Andrius’s Authority and unleashed an Extreme Ice Storm several times stronger than Andrius’s own, shocking the wolf.
