"Miss Ellin should be all right, shouldn't she?"
At the Pavilion Tower, Azhdaha asked.
"She will be."
Zhongli shook his head.
"Time is a very complicated thing. Creating a vortex capable of warping space and time requires an enormous amount of energy, even for Osial."
"That was Osial's last resort to save his life. He throws his enemy into a spacetime vortex to buy himself a chance to escape."
"But time itself is extremely complicated. Even after expending tremendous power to use that move, Osial could do little more than throw Ellin into the spacetime vortex."
"At most, Ellin will take a trip back into the past. She won't suffer any harm."
"Besides, the effects of Osial's move vary depending on whom he uses it against."
"The stronger his opponent, the less the spacetime vortex affects them. Against Ellin, that move can only affect her for ten seconds at most."
"By the time we're done talking, Ellin should be back."
"I see."
Azhdaha smiled. "It seems you've been on the receiving end of that move yourself."
"But how do you know Miss Ellin went back into the past?"
"Because... I've felt the aura she gave off after returning from the Ley Lines before, long ago."
Zhongli raised his teacup and took another sip.
Previously, he had not known that Ellin had traveled back into the past. But after she returned from the Ley Lines and her Seven-Element Demon God Core fused together...
Upon sensing that immensely powerful aura, so drastically changed, Zhongli finally remembered that he had felt it before, long ago.

A blue light flashed above the sea, and a girl in a white top and blue skirt appeared in midair.
"This is... Yaoguang Shoal?"
"He teleported me here?"
"But do you think this will
