Shitou's counterpart tried to sell Noctilucous Jade to Aether and his companions, while the discussion revealed that Zhongli treated Mora as no obstacle to buying what he wanted. The chapter ended with Zhongli telling Shitou to sell him every piece of jade.

• Shitou watched customers walk away after seeing the video, fearing his family shop would soon close.
• The screen's Shitou offered Aether and his companions his finest Noctilucous Jade and asked them to choose.
• Lumine and the viewers suspected Zhongli was an important figure, and Aether chose not to trust the gambling-stone seller's advice.
• Zhongli agreed with Aether's choice and, when asked how to select the jade, told Shitou, "I'll take them all."
• Shitou eagerly began praising Zhongli as he prepared to seal the sale.

Paimon challenged Zhongli’s plan to buy all the Noctilucous Jade, prompting him to explain his unusual perspective on money and how to judge the ore. As Zhongli shared practical advice, he also noticed Paimon’s conspicuous appearance, while Ningguang invited the Traveler and Paimon to the Jade Chamber.

• Paimon stopped Shitou from selling Zhongli all the Noctilucous Jade and questioned whether the ritual required buying every kind.
• Zhongli admitted he had overlooked the cost and explained that treating Mora as the foremost concern could limit one’s choices.

Zhongli and the Traveler tested Noctilucous Jade samples before a sudden quiz asked which type they chose. Lumine guessed correctly and won an unlimited one-year supply of Sweet Madame, which she offered to Kazuha for his injured friend, drawing Kujou Sara’s attention.

• Zhongli narrated his return to Mondstadt as the video skipped the group’s trip to Dadaupa Gorge and showed them back at the Jade Mystery.
• The system asked which Noctilucous Jade the Traveler’s group chose, and Lumine selected option C based on her experience with similar games.
• The system confirmed Lumine’s answer and awarded her an unlimited supply of Sweet Madame for one year.
• Paimon celebrated the food reward and declared she would eat three Sweet Madames a day, while others recalled her enormous appetite.
• Lumine offered Sweet Madame to Kazuha for his friend, and Kazuha declined because he did not want to put her in danger.
• Kujou Sara questioned what Kazuha meant, suspecting danger in Inazuma.

Kazuha justified advising Lumine to stay away from Inazuma during its lockdown, while Lumine planned to help Mondstadt save Dvalin before continuing to Liyue in search of her brother. As the rescue preparations advanced, Mona and Xiangling arrived in Mondstadt to meet Lumine.

• Kazuha told Kujou Sara that advising Lumine against visiting locked-down Inazuma upheld the Shogun's orders, leaving Sara unable to challenge him.
• Lumine said she would eventually visit Inazuma but first watched Jean organize the Knights to search for Dvalin's tears and Barbara deliver the Holy Lyre der Himmel to Venti.
• Lumine decided to help her friends rescue Dvalin before setting out for Liyue and the approaching Rite of Descension.
• Mona admitted she was on her way to Angel's Share after Lumine offered her chicken, and Xiangling said she wanted to meet Lumine and Paimon.

The screen’s user ratings changed for several people, leaving Xianyun as a five-star user, Gaming as a four-star, and Jiehu and Houzhang with lower ratings.

• Lumine explained that she had guessed the last option was most likely correct based on patterns in RPGs, and Yae Miko suggested inviting her to Inazuma.
• Yae Miko, Lyney, Furina, Collei, Childe, and Keqing welcomed Lumine and the Traveler to visit their nations.
• Aether chose the third Noctilucous Jade, and Zhongli ordered a box of it, prompting Xingqiu to note that Northland Bank would cover the expense.
• Gaming, Xianyun, Jiehu, and Houzhang noticed that their user ratings or nicknames had changed.
• Lumine explained that Xianyun had likely become a five-star character, Gaming a four-star character, and Jiehu and Houzhang non-banner NPCs.

Zhongli bought Noctilucous Jade from Shitou for the Rite of Parting, and Shitou cut the price in honor of Rex Lapis, prompting Liyue customers to praise him. Xingqiu realized the video could serve as powerful advertising and worried that the Feiyun Commerce Guild might appear next.

• Zhongli told Shitou that the Noctilucous Jade would be used to make implements for the Rite of Parting.
• Shitou recalled Rex Lapis's protection of Liyue and offered the jade at half price.

• Xingqiu recognized the video as an unusually effective advertisement and worried that the Feiyun Commerce Guild might appear in it next.

The video ended with Zhongli forgetting his Mora while buying Noctilucous Jade for the Rite of Parting, and viewers learned that the rite would be held at Yujing Terrace with the Qixing’s approval. Afterward, Dori worried that Rex Lapis’s apparent death would stop Mora production and leave Teyvat facing a shrinking currency supply.

• Zhongli assured Paimon and Shitou that Liyue would continue to prosper, then tried to take the Noctilucous Jade without paying.
• Paimon reminded Zhongli that he still had to pay, and Zhongli admitted he had not brought any Mora.
• Aether and Paimon reacted to Zhongli’s lack of money, while Shitou allowed the purchase to proceed using Childe’s funds.
• The video ended after the Noctilucous Jade was moved to Yujing Terrace, and Keqing, Ningguang, and Ganyu discussed the Qixing’s approval of the Rite of Parting.
• Dori worried that Rex Lapis’s apparent death would halt Mora production, and the discussion turned to how a declining Mora supply could harm Teyvat’s economy and cause deflation.

After Dori’s insight sparked a race among Teyvat’s economic powers to prepare for a future without Mora, the screen began a video about the Raiden Shogun’s nightmare. Alice pressured Ganyu into agreeing to wear a dress she designed, while Zhongli privately wondered whether Ganyu needed new clothes.

• Pantalone, Ningguang, and other economic figures recognized the chance to issue a new currency as Mora dwindled and hurried to make plans.
• Paimon wondered why the discussion area had gone quiet, and Zhongli and Alice explained that people had gone to pursue the economic opportunity.
• The screen started the Raiden Shogun teaser, prompting Inazuma’s users to fall silent over its ominous subject.
• Ayato signaled Ayaka not to comment about the Shogun’s nightmare, while Alice hinted she had noticed something about the order of the videos.
• Alice pressured Ganyu to wear a dress she designed at the Lantern Rite, and Ganyu reluctantly agreed.
• Zhongli reflected that Ganyu had grown up and might need new clothes.

A video showed the Raiden Shogun enjoying a peaceful cherry-blossom outing with her familiars before hinting at their tragic fates. Yae Miko explained that all three died protecting Inazuma, while Raiden Ei’s brief words left the viewers in silence.

• As the video began, Lumine and others discussed its 12+ rating and how age restrictions could change a fictional portrayal of Teyvat’s history.
• The video showed Ei admiring cherry blossoms with Chiyo, Sasayuri, and Kitsune Saiguu, and Yae Miko identified the three as familiars of the Electro Archon.
• Kokomi, Sara, and Ayato recognized the scene as one from the past and feared the video would reveal the familiars’ tragic ends.
• A distorted flash showed Ei fighting atop a serpent’s body, and the word “Musou” appeared before Sasayuri vanished from the blossom-viewing scene.
• Yae Miko said Chiyo, Sasayuri, and Kitsune Saiguu had all given their lives for Inazuma’s founding and peace, and Ei declared, “Only eternity...”

The video showed Torachiyo attacking Raiden Ei after being corrupted by the dark calamity, then Kitsune Saiguu dying while protecting Inazuma. Kokomi suspected those losses did not fully explain the Raiden Shogun’s pursuit of eternity, and the chapter ended with Ei alone beneath the cherry tree as rain poured down.

• Kokomi considered how the video might reveal the reasons behind the Raiden Shogun’s decrees and what eternity meant to her.
• The screen showed Torachiyo, corrupted by the dark calamity, launching an attack on Raiden Ei.
• Yae Miko explained that Kitsune Saiguu was swallowed by the calamity while protecting Inazuma five hundred years earlier.
• The video showed Raiden Ei fighting youkai amid the dark calamity, then sitting alone beneath a cherry tree.
• Kokomi reasoned that the deaths of Ei’s friends could not be the whole cause of her pursuit of eternity.
• Raiden Ei lowered her head beneath the cherry blossoms as rain began to fall and became a torrential downpour.

Yae Miko tried to lift Ei’s spirits, but the video revealed Raiden Ei’s final encounter with her sister, Raiden Makoto. As Makoto vanished into golden motes, Ei was left devastated by the loss.

• Yae Miko teased Ei and drew her attention away from the video, easing the oppressive mood over Inazuma City.
• The video showed Raiden Ei standing alone in the rain before she noticed a long-haired woman holding an umbrella.
• Yae Miko recognized that the approaching woman would deliver a devastating blow to Ei, while viewers wondered about the difference between Ei and the Raiden Shogun.
• Raiden Ei ran toward Raiden Makoto, but Makoto dissolved into golden motes when Ei touched her braid.
• Raiden Ei staggered back and looked devastated as Raiden Makoto disappeared.

The screen showed Aether confronting the Raiden Shogun over a flying Vision, and viewers realized Thoma had likely helped the Traveler meet her by putting himself at risk. Thoma tried to resign as Ritou’s local fixer, but Kamisato Ayato refused, while the screen ended on a scene inside Raiden Ei’s domain and Aether calling Thoma’s name.

• Lumine provoked Aether into speaking, then learned he was alive and believed he was avoiding her because of a difficult mission.
• The screen showed Aether reaching for a Pyro Vision as the Raiden Shogun stood atop the Thousand-Armed, Hundred-Eyed Statue, prompting Lumine to wonder whose Vision it was.
• Kamisato Ayato, Yae Miko, and Kamisato Ayaka inferred that Thoma had arranged the confrontation, and Thoma explained he may have offered to introduce Lumine to the Shogun.
• Thoma asked Kamisato Ayato to let him resign as Ritou’s local fixer, but Ayato refused and reassured him that he probably would not die.
• The screen showed Raiden Ei seated within a red, torii-filled space, then played Aether calling Thoma’s name and Paimon’s before cutting off.
• Kujou Sara asked Thoma to surrender his Vision, while Arataki Itto argued with her over his own confiscated Vision and was threatened with detention.

Raiden Ei answered that the woman in the video was her elder sister, Raiden Makoto, and received a system-modified Rinne Rebirth Technique that could resurrect the dead without sacrificing the caster. After Yae Miko urged her to use it, Ei decided to revive Makoto and organize Inazuma’s eligible users to participate in future questions, while Miko planned to involve Kamisato Ayato in managing the effort.

• Raiden Ei answered that the mysterious woman was her elder sister, Raiden Makoto, confirming viewers’ guesses that the Electro Archons had been twin sisters.
• The system rewarded Raiden Ei with the Outer Path: Rinne Rebirth Technique, which could restore the dead using faith power, elemental energy, and suitable vessels instead of the caster’s life.
• Yae Miko urged Raiden Ei to use the technique to revive Makoto, and Ei agreed after deciding the screen could offer further chances to resurrect others.
• Raiden Ei told Yae Miko to have the Tri-Commission organize Inazuma’s eligible users, while forbidding them from taking rewards or coercing anyone into trading.
• Yae Miko rejected Ei’s approach to organizing the users and decided that Kamisato Ayato should help manage the arrangements.

Raiden Ei and Yae Miko considered using Scaramouche as a vessel for reviving Raiden Makoto, just as the screen began showing a future in which Scaramouche stole Nahida’s Gnosis and proclaimed himself a god. Grand Sage Azar watched the footage and believed that knowing the future would let him control the project.

• Raiden Ei persuaded the Raiden Shogun that reviving Raiden Makoto could help protect Inazuma, then agreed to retrieve Scaramouche as a possible vessel.
• Yae Miko recognized that the day’s fourth video was likely fan-made, while viewers in the discussion section joked about its title and Sumeru’s reputation.
• Grand Sage Azar resented his two-star user status and watched the video from his office at the Akademiya.
• The video showed Scaramouche attacking Nahida and declaring that he had ascended to godhood, prompting the Harbingers to deny that the footage could be trusted.
• Nahida reassured worried viewers that the video showed only the future, while Azar concluded that his knowledge of it would make him invincible.

Nahida revealed that she had trapped Scaramouche in a dream and used her authority over dreams to control his senses. A parody video then showed Nahida defeating Fatui agents, leaving Sumeru’s scholars to reconsider the dangers of her powers and the Akademiya’s hidden plans.

• The Grand Sage reconsidered Sumeru’s cooperation with the Fatui after realizing that the god-creation project could succeed but carried serious risks.
• Nahida stopped Scaramouche from taking her Gnosis and explained that she had gathered enough data from his repeated attempts.
• Nahida revealed that Scaramouche was still dreaming, and the dream shattered to show him impaling Shouki no Kami in Tenshukaku.
• A parody showed Nahida cutting down a debt agent and an Anemoboxer vanguard, then claiming her dream authority could completely control all five senses.
• Alhaitham, Tighnari, and Cyno connected Nahida’s power over dreams with Sumeru’s lack of dreams, the Akasha, and the Akademiya’s secret activities.

Sumeru’s viewers recognized Nahida’s quiet protection of Aaru Village and resolved to protect their young god in return. A difficult question revealed that the Doctor ultimately recovered both Gnoses from Nahida, leaving Scaramouche stunned by the future loss of his Electro Gnosis.

• Nahida’s intimidating portrayal won Sumeru’s viewers’ admiration, while Candace explained that Nahida had secretly protected Aaru Village through its exiled scholars.
• Sumeru’s people concluded that Nahida was a worthy god and resolved to protect her from the Fatui.
• Yae Miko teased Scaramouche about dressing him in girls’ clothes before he was activated, and Raiden Ei’s question about his whereabouts made him abandon his plans in Inazuma.
• Scaramouche celebrated seeing his future self hold the Electro Gnosis, but the system’s question suggested he would ultimately lose it.
• Lumine speculated that Sumeru’s story had been changed, while the viewers debated which Harbinger recovered the Electro and Dendro Gnoses.
• Nahida answered that the Doctor had turned the tide, and the system confirmed her answer.

Nahida correctly identified The Doctor as the person who modified Scaramouche, then learned from the video that Sumeru’s sages planned to replace her with a new god. A Quicken Magic Transformation Wand gave her temporary transformations that strengthened her, and its Spread form made her look like Greater Lord Rukkhadevata.

• Nahida answered that The Doctor was responsible for Scaramouche’s modifications, and The Doctor admitted the question’s wording had misled him.
• Nahida realized the sages intended to create a new god to replace her, but the Traveler’s rescue in the video gave her resolve to keep helping Sumeru City.
• The system rewarded Nahida with a Quicken Magic Transformation Wand that granted her a first-stage Quicken form and a second-stage Spread form.
• At the Traveler’s urging, Nahida transformed into a teenage version of herself, then entered Spread and took on the appearance of Greater Lord Rukkhadevata.
• Nahida focused on the great increase in her power and authority and concluded that the screen’s rewards were tailored to their recipients.

Nahida used the transformation wand and the milk reward to deduce more about forbidden knowledge and Greater Lord Rukkhadevata, then seized control of the Akademiya sages. The screen began its final video of the day, a Fontaine story teaser that Furina identified as an illustrated opera apparently starring her.

• Nahida inferred that forbidden knowledge had irreversibly affected Irminsul and decided to take back full control of the Akasha that night.
• Nahida overwhelmed Grand Sage Azar and the other sages with her power, leaving them kneeling and proclaiming her Sumeru's only god.
• The people of Sumeru continued their celebrations while the other nations waited to see how the transfer of authority would unfold.
• The screen selected Fontaine's fifth and final video of the day, titled "La vaguelette," and Lumine explained that its storybook style could indicate a cutscene.
• The teaser showed an angry crowd surrounding a kneeling blond young man before a man with a cane announced that a woman was coming.
• Furina recognized the scene as an opera and claimed the video would naturally feature her.

Furina watched a musical whose Oceanid heroine’s sacrifice mirrored her own hidden burden, and she feared the screen would expose that she was not the real Hydro Archon. As the musical continued to show life returning to the land, Lumine wondered whether Fontaine’s prophecy would end with Furina sacrificing herself.

• Furina and the others watched a musical starring Furina, whose opening lyrics and plot echoed Fontaine legends and unsettled her.
• Furina recognized the Oceanid heroine’s self-sacrifice as an allegory for her own five hundred years of hiding the truth and protecting Fontaine.
• Neuvillette restored order in the courtroom as Furina steadied herself and resolved to keep the musical from exposing her secret or win a reward that could help avert the prophecy.
• The audience mostly treated the human-disguise plot as part of the musical, though some suspected it concealed information about Fontaine and Furina.
• The musical showed the heroine’s water renewing ruined lands and bringing people back to joyful lives.
• Lumine wondered whether Fontaine’s prophecy would end with Furina sacrificing herself.

Furina watched a musical that seemed to portray her sacrificing herself to resolve Fontaine’s prophecy and receiving a Hydro Vision, leading her to suspect Focalors would make the sacrifice. Lyney noticed the Vision’s unusual design and sent his discovery to the Knave, while Furina resolved to face whatever the next video revealed.

• Furina saw the musical end with her future self turning into water as a Hydro Vision descended, and wondered whether Focalors would sacrifice herself to resolve the prophecy.
• The Knave interpreted the performance as evidence that Furina might be more involved in confronting the prophecy than she had assumed.
• Viewers joked about the musical, while Lyney noticed that the Hydro Vision shown on screen differed from the Visions he knew.
• Lyney warned Lynette and Freminet that the Vision’s edges resembled sharp fangs, then secretly reported his discovery to the Knave.
• Other observant viewers privately began investigating the Vision, while Furina decided to endure future revelations and hoped Neuvillette would support her.

Viewers debated who had given Furina a Vision, while Furina tried to hide her suspicions that Neuvillette was involved. Venti revealed that the white-haired god who had separated Lumine and her brother was named Asmoday, then ruled her out as the answer, leaving the other options unresolved.

• The screen asked who had given Lady Furina her Vision and listed Egeria, Focalors, Xingqiu, Sangonomiya Kokomi, Neuvillette, and Asmoday as options.
• Furina recalled the unusual dragon-fang details on the Vision in the video and privately suspected that Neuvillette might be the answer, but she chose not to respond.
• Venti told Lumine that the white-haired god who had separated her from her brother was named Asmoday.
• Venti ruled out Asmoday as the one who gave Furina a Vision, and viewers continued debating the remaining options without reaching a conclusion.

Arataki Itto wrongly guessed that Focalors would grant the Vision and received a year-long model-citizen punishment, which he immediately tried to avoid. Wriothesley then correctly chose Neuvillette, earning a floating city and leaving Furina and Neuvillette troubled by what the answer implied.

• Arataki Itto guessed Focalors and was marked incorrect, ruling out Furina as the answer.
• The system sentenced Arataki Itto to spend a year acting as an exemplary Inazuman citizen, and he used an exemption to escape the punishment.
• Raiden Ei considered the punishment beneficial to Inazuma, while Yae Miko agreed to reward Arataki Itto for eliminating a wrong answer.
• Wriothesley chose Neuvillette, who admitted he might help backstage in Furina's musical if she begged him.
• Neuvillette wondered how Furina had survived shattering her divine throne and becoming human, while Furina realized Wriothesley's answer confirmed Neuvillette would grant her future self a Vision.
• The system awarded Wriothesley a Civilian-3 Small Floating City designed to transport people and equipment and house up to 100,000 people temporarily.

Wriothesley and Furina diverted attention from Furina’s Vision by revealing Fontaine’s prophecy, while Lumine predicted it would come true. As Fontaine’s people rallied around Furina’s reassurance, Navia’s suspicions alarmed Vacher, who considered killing her but feared the attention her disappearance would draw.

• Wriothesley said he wanted the floating city to evacuate people from the Fortress of Meropide if the prophecy threatened Fontaine.
• Lyney described the prophecy that Fontaine’s people would dissolve as the sea rose, leaving the Hydro Archon weeping alone.
• Lumine said the prophecy would likely come true and that the protagonist would help the locals avert its crisis, prompting an uproar among Fontainians.
• Furina reassured the people that she had not ignored the prophecy, and The Knave urged her to take practical action.
• Furina looked to Neuvillette with new expectations, while he reflected on his long experience in Fontaine and began to understand her intentions.
• Vacher realized Navia was close to uncovering a clue and considered dissolving her with Primordial Sea Water, but hesitated because her sudden disappearance would attract suspicion.

After the second day of videos, the nations responded to what they had learned: Mondstadt prepared to force Dvalin out of hiding, Liyue planned for Rex Lapis’s test, and Inazuma brought Watatsumi under the Raiden Shogun’s direct rule. In Sumeru, Nahida struggled to reach Greater Lord Rukkhadevata through Rifthounds in her dream, but believed Lumine’s arrival could help resolve the crisis.

• Snezhnaya urged the other nations not to trust the videos, while Natlan’s people were relieved that none of the videos had exposed their secrets.
• Jean stopped Barbara from organizing an Anemo Archon honor guard, the Knights and Traveler restored the Holy Lyre der Himmel, and Venti planned to capture Dvalin for compulsory treatment.
• Keqing led the Liyue Qixing in an overnight effort to prepare for Rex Lapis’s test, while Zhongli accompanied Hu Tao to The Chasm to search for Bosacius’s traces.
• Raiden Ei found no sign of Scaramouche, took control of Watatsumi Island, suspended the Vision Hunt Decree, and proposed making another puppet from materials taken from a defeated god in the Dark Sea.
• Nahida found that Rifthounds blocked her from reaching Greater Lord Rukkhadevata in her dream, rejected Alhaitham and the others’ offer to accompany her, and said Lumine’s visit could help resolve Sumeru’s crisis.
