"Blown off the timeline... That ability, sigh."
Whenever Shen Fei thought of the current state of the Ash-Veiled Sea, he could not help sighing. All he could say was that there was still a huge difference between an innate ability and the skills he had acquired through constant study and cultivation. He had now mastered quite a lot of time-related abilities, but blowing an entire region off the timeline was still beyond him. Even with Istaroth's laws of time aiding his cultivation all this time, it was the same. He could only say that those born with such gifts really were something else.
"Did you come to Natlan just to look after Bennett, or was it for the free drinks?"
"How could you think that of me? Although those are reasons too, I did come to Natlan for serious business as well."
Although Venti usually seemed rather unreliable, he never got sloppy when it came to serious matters. This time, he had come to Natlan with an extremely important purpose: to bring back the souls of those who had been lost in the Ash-Veiled Sea back then.
Blowing the Ash-Veiled Sea off the timeline sounded amazing and incredibly powerful, but it had not come without a price. After all, Venti was not Istaroth. That was also the reason he had fallen into slumber back then. Venti had always said he was weak, that his power had not recovered, and in a certain sense, he was not wrong.
Now that Teyvat was going to move away, the Ash-Veiled Sea certainly would not be taken along. Naturally, Venti wanted to bring those people's souls back to their homeland. Strictly speaking, the current Ash-Veiled Sea was not that dangerous. The problem with the Ash-Veiled Sea back then had mainly been Rhinedottir's creation, Bakunawa.
