Ronova watched a video narrated by Istaroth depicting the uprising against Decarabian in Old Mondstadt. As the captured rebel girl was led to her execution, a flood of excited comments hinted that someone was about to arrive.

• Ronova recognized Istaroth's voice narrating the video as viewers across Teyvat filled the comments.
• The video showed Decarabian's orderly Old Mondstadt, where fixed social ranks and scarcity left commoners suffering while nobles prospered.

• The wind spirit promised the girl that someone would save her, though both doubted anyone could break into the guarded fortress.
• On the day of the girl's execution, Ronova hoped she would be spared, then saw comments announce that a man was coming.

Ronova watched a video in which a knight calling himself North Wind rescued Wendy from execution in Old Mondstadt and helped her plan a rebellion against the tyrant in the tower. The video ended with North Wind accepting Wendy’s invitation to become her companion, while Ronova wondered why his voice and appearance seemed familiar.

Ronova watched the story of the Knight of Boreas with Mona, who was moved to tears by the tragic ending. In Mondstadt, Mo Fan discovered that a video had exposed his past life as the Knight of Boreas and was mortified by his old chuunibyou role.

• Viewers discussed the video’s story and wondered how Mondstadt’s Church of Favonius and Knights of Favonius would react to the revelation.

• Mo Fan borrowed a smartphone, saw himself portrayed as the first Knight of Boreas, and realized that someone had exposed his past life.
• Mo Fan cringed at his former knightly declarations and wanted the person who posted the video to take it down.

Mo Fan learned that Mondstadt had confirmed the video about the Knight of Boreas and offered ten million Mora to find his reincarnation, unaware that Mo Fan himself was the knight. Meanwhile, the Anemo Archon waited for the knight’s return as Dvalin succumbed to corruption and flew toward Mondstadt.

• Mo Fan recalled his many reincarnations and tried to leave Kaeya, who questioned him about the video portraying the first Knight of Boreas.
• Kaeya revealed that the video had become a concern for the Knights of Favonius, then Jean publicly confirmed its account and announced a search for the Knight’s reincarnation with a ten-million-Mora reward.
• Mo Fan considered claiming the bounty himself because he needed money, while people across Teyvat grew eager to find the knight.
• At Stormterror’s Lair, the Anemo Archon remembered her promise to the Knight of Boreas and continued hoping he would return.
• Dvalin rose into the sky, and the weakened Anemo Archon realized the Abyssal corruption had driven him mad and left her unable to stop him from heading toward Mondstadt.

After the Knight of Boreas video spread, Mo Fan avoided revealing his identity, turned down Fischl’s invitation, and shared dinner with Ronova. A violent wind tore the roof off their home, and Mo Fan went to confront whoever had caused it in armor that concealed his identity.

• Mo Fan heard that Jean had confirmed the Knight of Boreas video, but he kept his identity secret to avoid attracting the women he had saved in past lives.
• Fischl asked Mo Fan to join her adventurer team, and he promised to consider it when she grew up before heading home.

• Mo Fan changed into a suit of armor to conceal his identity and went to confront the culprit.

During Stormterror’s attack on Mondstadt, Mo Fan rescued Lumine in midair and used his remembered swordsmanship to strike down the corrupted dragon. Stormterror fell toward the ground, while Mo Fan and Lumine remained high in the sky.

• Amber gave Lumine a Wind Glider just as a gale swept over Mondstadt and Stormterror appeared above the city.
• The hurricane lifted Lumine into the air, and she called to Mo Fan for help as he ran along the city wall.
• Mo Fan leaped to Lumine, explained that he could borrow Anemo power from his past reincarnations, and prepared to face Stormterror without fully using the Edict of Time.
• Mo Fan unleashed North Wind Earth-Splitting Slash and struck Stormterror on the head, sending the dragon plummeting toward the ground.

After defeating Stormterror, Mo Fan faced public speculation that he was the Knight of Boreas and decided to leave Mondstadt for Liyue with Ronova. At the city’s edge, they encountered Barbatos, who learned Mo Fan was caring for Ronova and wished them a safe journey.

• Mo Fan defeated Stormterror, and people across Teyvat speculated that he was the reincarnated Knight of Boreas, prompting the Knights of Favonius to search for him.
• Mo Fan told Ronova he had gone to the bathroom during the crisis, and she admitted she would bring him back to life if he died, even at great cost to herself.

• Mo Fan decided Mondstadt was no longer safe and persuaded Ronova to move with him to Liyue.
• At the edge of Mondstadt, Mo Fan and Ronova met Barbatos, who asked whether Mo Fan was Ronova’s guardian knight and wished them a safe journey.

Mo Fan and Ronova reached Stone Gate and saw a golden-haired traveler and her floating companion tumble from Dragonspine into a lake. In Mondstadt, Dvalin told the Anemo Archon that the mysterious knight who defeated him wielded North Wind swordsmanship and the power of time, prompting her to search for the person she believed had returned.

• Mo Fan and Ronova passed Stone Gate, spotted Wangshu Inn, and planned to stay there before traveling to Liyue Harbor.
• A golden-haired girl and a white floating spirit plunged from Dragonspine into the lake at Sal Terrae, and Ronova reacted to the spirit but declined to explain.

• The Anemo Archon visited Dvalin, who thanked the knight and Lumine for stopping him and described the knight's North Wind swordsmanship and time power.
• The Anemo Archon suspected the knight was someone from her past and sent the winds to search for him.

After reaching Wangshu Inn, Mo Fan and Ronova shared a room and a bed, though Ronova secretly struggled to stay composed while Mo Fan fell asleep. Unable to sleep, she found a new popular video titled “Yaksha's Past: Secretary Ganyu Cannot Forgive.”

• Mo Fan and Ronova reached Wangshu Inn after walking all day, and Ronova complained about the long journey.
• With all single rooms booked, Mo Fan and Ronova took a double room and discovered it had only one bed.
• Ronova agreed to share the bed with Mo Fan, who fell asleep while she secretly tried to keep her distance.
• 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.
• The video showed ancient Liyue after the Archon War and introduced young Ganyu as a vulnerable half-human, half-adeptus qilin tasked with protecting the land.
• A secretary told Keqing about the new video, and Keqing went to the Jade Chamber to inform Ningguang.
• Ningguang ordered the Ministry of Civil Affairs to notify the adepti, Ganyu, and the Yakshas about the video.
• Ningguang and Keqing watched the video first to check whether it revealed anything harmful to Liyue.

Barbatos learned that Mo Fan and Ronova had moved to Liyue, then joined Mona and others at Angel’s Share to watch the newest A Hundred Lifetimes of Reincarnation video. The video showed ancient Liyue’s suffering after the Archon War and ended with Asura saving Ganyu and introducing himself as the foremost Guardian Yaksha.

• Barbatos traced the Law of Time to Mo Fan and Ronova’s former home, where Mona told her they had moved to Liyue.
• Barbatos realized Mo Fan might be the Knight of Boreas and went with Mona to Angel’s Share to watch his latest video.
• Barbatos, Mona, Fischl, Diluc, Kaeya, Amber, and Eula watched a video depicting ancient Liyue after the Archon War.
• Ronova reflected on the deaths caused by the war as the video showed Liyue’s villages suffering from the resentment of dead gods.
• 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.
• Asura Yaksha offered to teach Ganyu how to fight, and she trained under him as he shared his combat knowledge.
• Asura Yaksha traveled across Liyue, absorbing the resentment of dead gods from afflicted people and growing increasingly tormented.
• Asura Yaksha opened the seal on Mt. Tianheng and absorbed the resentment held within the dead gods’ remains.
• Asura Yaksha claimed his earlier acts of purifying Karmic Debt had been a ruse to gather strength and announced his intent to bring destruction to Liyue Harbor.

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.
• Ningguang proposed a bet with Keqing: the loser would wear a cat-ear maid outfit at next month's Rite of Descension.
• 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.
• Ningguang asked Ganyu to reconsider her judgment, prompting Ganyu to fall into a daze and leaving Keqing uncertain.
• Asura defeated the Millelith who tried to stop him and absorbed nearly all the dead gods’ resentment and Karmic Debt in Liyue.
• Bosacius, Bonanus, and the other Yakshas confronted Asura, but he attacked them and absorbed Bonanus’s accumulated Karmic Debt and resentment.
• Asura unleashed a pillar of ice that pierced Mt. Tianheng and froze Liyue Harbor and the surrounding region.

Ganyu confronted the Asura Yaksha after he defeated the five Yakshas and threatened Liyue Harbor. With the Yakshas lending her their power, she prepared to use an array to stop her former teacher.

• The Asura Yaksha defeated the five Yakshas and absorbed their karmic debt, becoming more powerful and increasingly mad.
• 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.
• Ganyu erased Asura’s traces from Liyue’s records and continued to believe that killing him and removing him from history had been right.
• 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.
