A New Video Shakes Liyue

"Huh? There's a new video already?"

Ronova, who had been tossing and turning in bed, unable to sleep because she was so close to Mo Fan, brightened the moment she saw the video update.

To her, it was practically a reward for staying up late.

She immediately opened the new video's page.

Since hardly any time had passed since the previous video aired, most people were still discussing whether the Knight of Boreas's story was true.

The discussion had largely split into two camps.

One camp believed the video's contents were unquestionably true, and that the footage itself had actually been filmed in that era.

But that view was undoubtedly far too idealistic.

Leaving aside how the video could have been preserved for two thousand years, whether Kameras had even existed back then was another question.

As a result, the other camp's view had gained the upper hand online.

This camp believed the video's contents might be true, but the video itself could simply be a film made by modern people.

As for why someone would go to the trouble of making a film so much like a real documentary, perhaps someone in Mondstadt wanted to reveal some historical truths, or perhaps someone had been moved by the love between the Anemo Archon and the Knight of Boreas and wanted to spread their story further.

All in all, though most people believed the Knight of Boreas had really existed in history, they did not believe someone had filmed the video so clearly two thousand years ago.

That was simply too ridiculous. Even The Seven probably couldn't have done it.

"Could it be that the one filming wasn't a god, but a certain ruler who slacks off every day?"

Reading the discussion, Ronova couldn't resist making a snide remark.

After all, a certain Ruler of Time with nothing better to do would be perfectly capable of traveling through time and space to film these videos in different timelines.

But the question was, why would the Ruler of Time do any of this?

What was her purpose in posting the videos?

Surely she couldn't be trying to get views?

Ronova truly couldn't understand what her colleague was thinking, and she couldn't be bothered to dwell on it now. She quietly turned her attention to the new video.

Before she started watching, she really wanted to wake Mo Fan and watch it with him.

After all, she was terrified there would be another painful twist that would leave her heart aching half to death.

If someone watched with her, she could share the emotional burden.

Unfortunately, Mo Fan was fast asleep, and Ronova didn't want to disturb him. In the end, she could only give up and watch the new video alone.

As always, it opened with narration.

[The wind brings the seeds of stories, and time makes them sprout]

[People can never forgive the betrayal of someone dear to them, for the deeper the love, the more indelible the scars]

With those two lines of narration, the video began in earnest.

First came a familiar black screen, followed by a rapid flood of bullet comments.

[First!!!]

[It's here, it's here! Guys!]

[Sure enough, staying up late gets you rewards!]

[Thanks for the reminder. I'm going to reward myself right now!]

[It's only been a few days and there's another update? That's some serious dedication. We've got to send gifts and leave good reviews!]

[Guys, hurry up and send gifts and good reviews!]

In an instant, a flood of bullet comments engulfed the screen.

Unlike when the first video was released and had yet to become a massive hit, the A Hundred Lifetimes of Reincarnation series had now topped the newcomer rankings on Teyvat's video site, with countless people eagerly awaiting updates every day.

Ronova even had to consider reducing the density of the bullet comments so she could see the video clearly.

Soon, as everyone waited eagerly, the new video finally began to play.

Much like the previous video, this one opened with a distinctive setting, as usual.

It seemed to be Liyue from a very, very long time ago, an era when the present-day Liyue Harbor had yet to be fully built.

To describe the setting in greater detail, the video also included narration this time.

And as always, the voice belonged to Istaroth, the Ruler of Time.

[In Liyue at that time, the chaos of the Archon War had just ended]

[Chaos covered the land, countless beings cried out in despair, and the earth lay deathly still]

[Even the Geo Archon, who had only just ascended to the divine throne, could not protect every patch of land beneath his feet and could only seek help from the adepti]

[But not every adeptus was powerful]

[Ganyu, a half-human, half-adeptus qilin girl born to a qilin adeptus and a human, was an especially vulnerable member of the adepti]

[Before she had even grown up, she had to step forward to protect the newborn Liyue, but her strength was still insufficient]

As the narration rang out, a petite, very young girl with blue hair and two jet-black horns appeared in the center of the screen.

Many people in Liyue recognized her almost immediately. She was Lady Ganyu, the current secretary of the Liyue Qixing in Liyue Harbor.

Liyue Harbor, the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

After a full day of official duties, Keqing, the Yuheng, finally had some time to rest.

But before she could relax for even a few seconds, a secretary rushed in, flustered, saying she had a video to show her.

"A video? What video is worth watching?"

"It's the creator who posted the Knight of Boreas video last time. They seem to have posted something new."

"Oh? That creator posted a video?"

Keqing immediately perked up at the news.

Without wasting any time, she went straight to the Jade Chamber, found Ningguang, and brought up the video.

"This is indeed something we need to pay attention to."

Ningguang nodded.

After the Knight of Boreas's video aired, not only had viewers across Teyvat been deeply shaken, but even the Liyue Qixing had been greatly affected.

Ningguang and Keqing found it hard to imagine that someone could have filmed the Archon War from a thousand years ago, with no flaws to be found no matter how closely they looked.

Ningguang promptly asked, "Who is this video about?"

"Secretary Ganyu, I think?" Keqing had glanced at the video's title on her way over and learned what it was about. "And the title also mentions a Yaksha. Could it have something to do with Liyue's five Guardian Yakshas?"

"It's about our Liyue?" Ningguang was shocked to hear it. "Summon everyone in the Ministry of Civil Affairs immediately, and notify the adepti as well. Make sure the news reaches Secretary Ganyu and the Yakshas in particular at once!"

"Yes!"

At Ningguang's words, several secretaries nearby immediately nodded and went to pass on the news.

Meanwhile, Ningguang and Keqing wasted no time. They started watching the newly released A Hundred Lifetimes of Reincarnation video ahead of the others to make sure it contained nothing detrimental to Liyue.

If it really did contain something that bad, then even if she had to go too far, Ningguang would demand, in the name of the Liyue Qixing, that the video site take it down immediately!
