The Huge Stir Caused by the Video

Wangshu Inn.

"So this was the truth all along..."

After watching the entire "Yaksha Chapter" video, Ronova's face was filled with surprise and confusion.

Even as the Ruler of Death, she had never expected a mortal to do something so extraordinary. To save the person and nation he loved, he had willingly borne an infamous reputation for all eternity, becoming a stain on history...

Both his unshakable character and his indomitable will inspired profound admiration and heartfelt awe.

The countless viewers who had watched the video shared similar thoughts.

[I'm crying my eyes out! What Asura Yaksha did was so admirable!]

[To save everyone under heaven, he was willing to become a demon in everyone's eyes... Just how resolute must his will have been to do that?]

[Even setting aside how he sacrificed himself to save everyone in the end, he had to endure the resentment of the dead gods throughout Liyue and absorb all the karmic debt along the way. How much terrible pain and torment must he have suffered? It's almost unimaginable!]

[No wonder all the resentment of the dead gods left in Liyue from the Archon War suddenly disappeared. Asura Yaksha "purified" it all with his own life!]

[I've cried until my bedsheets are soaked. Asura Yaksha's story is just too moving!]

Even after the story ended, a flood of comments continued to appear across the video.

Everyone who watched it felt heartfelt respect and awe for Asura Yaksha's actions, and they were deeply saddened by the end he had met, finding it difficult to accept.

Many people in Liyue, and even some from beyond its borders, began spreading the video of their own accord, hoping to clear Asura Yaksha's name.

They did not want Liyue to go on forgetting this admirable Yaksha. They wanted him to be treated as a hero.

But so much time had passed that all the records and stories about Asura Yaksha had been lost.

Even if people wanted to clear his name, they had no idea where to begin.

Even so, most people still began taking action on their own. Even if all they could do was make a small contribution, they would bring Asura Yaksha's story to light and clear him of the injustice done to him once and for all.

A tavern in Mondstadt.

After watching the video, the Anemo Archon Barbatos and the others all fell silent.

Everyone was stunned by the story's astonishing twist, and for a moment, they did not know what to say.

In the end, Amber was the first to speak up. "So is Asura Yaksha's story true? Did that really happen in Liyue's history?"

"Since the Knight of Boreas's story really happened, what happened to Asura Yaksha must also be historical fact," the young Anemo Archon replied quietly, before abruptly downing a glass of wine. "But I'd rather it hadn't really happened. It was far too cruel to him..."

"I don't want it to have really happened either." Fischl sighed. "He was a hero who saved the world, yet he couldn't receive a hero's treatment. Instead, he was regarded as a sinner... It's just too cruel."

"I apologize for what I said earlier."

Eula took a deep breath and spoke with a resolute expression.

She had always spoken her mind without mincing words. She had thought Asura Yaksha was a traitor to his nation and a sinner in the eyes of its people, just like the ancestors of the Lawrence Clan. But now that she knew the truth, she realized he was neither a traitor nor a sinner, but a true hero...

No, even the word hero could hardly describe the sacrifice he had made.

He had become something more sacred and inviolable, a being akin to a saint.

"I'll use the Dawn Winery's influence and wealth to help spread Asura Yaksha's story." After several seconds of silence, Diluc spoke slowly. "Although most people in Mondstadt don't know much about Liyue, I still want to do what little I can for such an admirable hero."

"It seems our esteemed Darknight Hero can sympathize with him."

Kaeya spoke with a smile from beside him.

Diluc immediately glared at him, but he did not deny it.

While everyone was deeply moved by Asura Yaksha's story, Barbatos looked at him in the video, a trace of conflicted emotion and jealousy flashing in her eyes...

After all, she had not expected that, in a different life, her Knight of Boreas would make such an immense sacrifice for another woman.

Although Ganyu had never learned what he had done, Barbatos still felt deeply upset. She did not want to hand her esteemed knight over to someone else.

"It looks like I'll have to make a trip to Liyue..."

The young Anemo Archon quietly made up her mind to catch up with him no matter what.

Liyue.

The Jade Chamber.

Once the "Yaksha Chapter" video finished playing, the entire room fell utterly silent.

"..."

Absolute silence enveloped the room, leaving everything still and soundless.

Ningguang and Keqing both looked sympathetically at Ganyu beside them.

Although they did not know the full story of the past, from everything shown in the video, they could almost imagine the tremendous shock Ganyu was experiencing.

And that was indeed the case.

Ever since the Geo Archon appeared, Ganyu's expression had grown increasingly doubtful and grave.

After seeing the story told from Asura Yaksha's perspective, she was utterly lost, and began questioning her life.

"Sorry, I have something to take care of, so I have to leave first..."

As if suppressing some emotion as best she could, Ganyu said nothing more, turned around and left the Jade Chamber.

Naturally, Keqing and Ningguang did not stop her. They let her leave without hesitation so she could try to calm down.

Only after Ganyu had disappeared from sight did Keqing murmur with mixed feelings, "I didn't expect a twist like that. So Asura Yaksha deliberately became a villain from the very beginning to save Liyue..."

"Yes, I imagine that was also why he taught Ganyu those spells." Ningguang sighed. "He wanted Ganyu to use the spells he taught her to kill him once he succumbed to madness."

"How could someone so selfless exist in this world..."

Even now, Keqing could hardly bring herself to fully believe what Asura Yaksha had done. She could not imagine that someone so righteous and selflessly devoted could exist.

Looking at the video, Ningguang was likewise deeply moved.

But she soon turned to Keqing and spoke slowly. "Speaking of which, our wager has been decided, hasn't it?"
