• Ronova browsed videos on her smartphone and found a new release from the uploader of the A Hundred Lifetimes of Reincarnation series.

Ronova watched a new A Hundred Lifetimes of Reincarnation video about young Ganyu’s struggle to protect Liyue after the Archon War. In Liyue Harbor, Ningguang and Keqing began watching and summoned officials and adepti, especially Ganyu and the Yakshas.

• Ronova opened the newly released video while viewers debated whether the previous Knight of Boreas footage was genuine.

• A crazed Millelith soldier threatened Ganyu, but Asura stopped him with a spear and identified himself as one of Rex Lapis’s Three-Eyed Five-Manifestation Immortals and the foremost Guardian Yaksha.

Asura Yaksha absorbed Karmic Debt from afflicted people across Liyue and trained Ganyu to fight, earning her trust as he quietly bore the dead gods’ resentment. The story turned when he opened the seal on Mt. Tianheng, revealed that his good deeds had been a cover to gather power, and threatened to destroy Liyue Harbor.

• Asura Yaksha absorbed the Karmic Debt from a possessed Millelith soldier, freed him, and urged him to protect Liyue.

Ganyu believed Asura Yaksha had betrayed Liyue and went to confront him after learning Rex Lapis and most of the adepti were away from Liyue Harbor. In the Jade Chamber, Ningguang and Keqing disagreed over his motives and bet that the loser would wear a cat-ear maid outfit while conducting the Rite of Descension.

• Ganyu concluded that Asura Yaksha had deceived her for power and found him attacking Liyue Harbor with Karmic Debt.
• Ganyu learned Rex Lapis and many adepti were away, then prepared to fight Asura Yaksha herself to protect Liyue Harbor.
• Ningguang argued that Asura Yaksha might have deeper reasons for his actions, while Keqing judged him a villain.

• Keqing accepted, confident that Asura Yaksha could not be acting for a righteous reason.

Keqing and Ningguang watched a video of Asura Yaksha’s past, and Ganyu’s troubled reaction made Ningguang question whether he had truly betrayed Liyue. In the video, Asura absorbed Bonanus’s Karmic Debt and the dead gods’ resentment, then unleashed a vast ice pillar that froze Liyue Harbor, leaving the Yakshas and viewers facing his overwhelming power.

• Keqing showed Ganyu the video, and Ganyu recognized Liyue’s past and called Asura Yaksha a traitor.

• Ganyu fired a Guizhong Ballista at the Asura Yaksha, who destroyed it and challenged her to kill him.
• Ganyu activated the Guizhong Ballistae on Mt. Tianheng, gravely wounding the Asura Yaksha, but the gods’ resentment quickly healed him.
• The Asura Yaksha taunted Ganyu and explained that she would need to combine her adeptal power with her Vision to freeze him.
• Ganyu asked the five Yakshas to form an array with her, and Bosacius persuaded them to lend her their power.
• The Yakshas and Ganyu formed an array that concentrated their adeptal power in her, giving her the strength to challenge the Asura Yaksha.

Ganyu and the Five Yaksha defeated Asura Yaksha, and Ganyu later erased him from Liyue’s history. Just as Keqing and Ningguang accepted that account, the video reversed to an earlier scene in which Asura revealed to Rex Lapis that he had chosen a plan to protect Liyue, leaving the truth of his actions unresolved.

• Ganyu used Celestial Shower to freeze Asura Yaksha, and the Five Yaksha joined her in defeating him.
• Bonanus secretly recovered Asura’s body and buried him at the old site on the Guili Plains, while Liyue rejected his legacy.

• In the Jade Chamber, Keqing celebrated being right about Asura and teased Ningguang about wearing a cat-ear maid outfit.
• The video shifted back to old Liyue, where Asura told Rex Lapis he was willing to endure disgrace and betrayal to protect the land.

The Asura Yaksha absorbed the gods’ remaining resentment and became a demon so Ganyu and the five Yakshas could kill him without guilt, saving Liyue from the Karmic Debt. After Rex Lapis honored his wish to keep the truth hidden, the video ended and viewers across Teyvat began spreading his story.

• The five Yakshas and Rex Lapis visited the Asura Yaksha’s grave, and Rex Lapis chose not to reveal the sacrifice because he believed that was his wish.
• After the video ended, viewers were stunned, then began sharing the truth about the Asura Yaksha across Teyvat.

After the Yaksha Chapter video revealed that Asura Yaksha had accepted a villain’s reputation to protect Liyue and ultimately sacrificed himself, viewers across Teyvat mourned him and began spreading his story. Ganyu left the Jade Chamber shaken, while Ningguang and Keqing recognized the painful meaning behind the spells he had taught her.

• Viewers praised Asura Yaksha’s sacrifice, mourned his fate, and began sharing the video to restore his reputation despite the loss of historical records.

• At the Jade Chamber, Ganyu grew increasingly shaken by the video and left, while Ningguang and Keqing let her go.
• Ningguang told Keqing that Asura Yaksha had taught Ganyu spells so she could kill him if he succumbed to madness, then reminded Keqing that their wager had been decided.

After learning the truth about Asura Yaksha, Ganyu realized she had spent two thousand years denying her guilt and came to the Yaksha’s old home to apologize. She admitted to Bonanus that she had come because of Asura, but Bonanus’s cold response left Ganyu facing the depth of her remorse.

• Ningguang ordered Baiwen and Baixiao to take Keqing to be fitted for a maid outfit after Keqing lost their bet.
• Ningguang watched Asura Yaksha’s story and wished she could recruit him into present-day Liyue.
• Ganyu recalled the clues that contradicted her belief that Asura had been a villain and recognized that she had erased his history to avoid confronting the truth.
• Ganyu traveled to the Yaksha’s old home in the Guili Plains, determined to apologize to Asura despite believing forgiveness was impossible.
• Bonanus told Ganyu she had never believed Asura could have been a villain, and Ganyu felt further guilt as she faced Bonanus’s conviction.

Ganyu visited Asura’s grave and tried to kill herself to atone for her role in his death and disgrace. Rex Lapis stopped her by revealing that Asura was still alive through reincarnation, and Bonanus immediately demanded to know where he was.

• Ganyu asked Bonanus where Asura’s grave was, then went to it and apologized for betraying his trust and erasing his name from Liyue’s history.
• Ganyu created an ice sword and tried to take her own life, but Rex Lapis caught the blade and stopped her.
