"So, you drifted here from another world."
"But when you wanted to leave this place and go to the next world, an unknown god blocked your path?"
Mondstadt.
On a sunny beach.
A gentle breeze blows as the Traveler named Lumine uses a branch to draw the figures from that great battle in the sand.
"Just like that, the unknown god took my brother. I was sealed by the god and lost my original power. After I woke up, I always wandered alone… until two months ago, when I met you."
"Yeah, if it weren't for you back then, I'd probably have drowned by now."
"So… I'll work hard and do my best to be a good guide!"
Paimon put her hands on her hips, her face full of earnest determination.
Lumine looked at the adorable little Paimon, the corner of her mouth slightly lifted, then turned her gaze into the distance, where verdant trees dotted the reefs, brimming with life.
At that moment, a mechanical voice rang out in Lumine's mind.
[Video Compilation System loading complete!]
[Lumine has joined the live broadcast room.]
[Paimon has joined the live broadcast room.]
Lumine was startled by the sudden voice.
"Where is this voice coming from?"
"Traveler, Paimon doesn't know."
Sensing something was off, the two immediately went on guard.
Soon, the mechanical voice sounded again.
[This system is called the Teyvat Video Compilation System.]
[Next, it will randomly play compilation videos related to Teyvat.]
[The videos take place in the past and future.]
[After a video plays, the system will ask a random question.]
[Answer correctly, and you will receive a reward.]
...
Fontaine.
Opera Epiclese.
Furina sat upon a sofa, receiving her follower.
"I heard that the first person in our family to have the honor of an audience with you dates back to Lady Deotire, almost twenty generations ago?"
"Hahaha, indeed, what a fine family. To receive such a devout believer, nay, such a devout descendant, is truly the greatest pleasure to me."
"You flatter me, Lady Furina."
"Lady Furina, are you… crying?"
A tear was sliding down her cheek. Furina smiled and raised a hand to explain, "Ah, it's probably because my Hydro elemental power is simply too abundant. It can't be helped, for I am the God of Hydro, after all."
"I see, I see… so it's a manifestation of divine power! I'm truly honored to witness this."
Furina lifted her head, refusing to let the tears fall.
Just then, a system notification sounded in her mind, interrupting her sorrow. "Video Compilation System? A voice that directly sounds in my head?"
"Could this be a turning point for the coming prophecy?"
...
Inazuma, Grand Narukami Shrine.
Yae Miko stood alone, gazing in the direction of Narukami Island. "My Almighty Shogun, how am I supposed to save you?"
A voice cut off her thoughts.
"Video Compilation System? Videos? Live broadcast room? Whose youkai power is this?"
"My Almighty Shogun, can you see it too?"
...
Meanwhile, across all of Teyvat, the same notification sounded in everyone's mind.
[Furina has joined the live broadcast room.]
[Neuvillette has joined the live broadcast room.]
[Wriothesley has joined the live broadcast room.]
[Charlotte has joined the live broadcast room.]
[Lyney has joined the live broadcast room.]
[Lynette has joined the live broadcast room.]
…
The people of Liyue also joined the broadcast.
[Ningguang has joined the live broadcast room.]
[Keqing has joined the live broadcast room.]
[Zhongli has joined the live broadcast room.]
[Ganyu has joined the live broadcast room.]
…
The same scene unfolded in Mondstadt.
[Acting Grand Master Jean has joined the live broadcast room.]
[Klee has joined the live broadcast room.]
[Kaeya has joined the live broadcast room.]
[Venti has joined the live broadcast room.]
[Amber has joined the live broadcast room.]
…
At the same time, citizens from all other nations of Teyvat also joined the live broadcast room.
Everyone was utterly bewildered.
How did I end up here?
Even gods and adepti were astonished by this unimaginable power.
Just as everyone was perplexed, a semi-transparent screen appeared before all who had entered the room.
[National chat rooms have been opened.]
[About to begin compiling Genshin Impact's saddest moments.]
[Video content includes past, present, and future.]
[Video chat content loading.]
...
Fontaine Chat Room
[Charlotte: So many people here, and it seems we can communicate instantly. If this lasts, interviews will become so much easier.]
[Wriothesley: A miraculous technological creation, an incredible power. Could this be Lady Furina's latest invention?]
[Furina: Hahahaha, I could indeed create such a powerful communication device, but this one… this one isn't mine. (Klee: peeking)]
[Neuvillette: I sense a power that does not belong to any of the seven elements, but it is not dangerous.]
[Sigewinne: That's good to know. (jumps up)]
...
Mondstadt Chat Room
[Amber: What is this thing!? Does anyone know? (confused)]
[Klee: Klee doesn't know, maybe we can ask Albedo big brother.]
[Albedo: This form of power has nothing to do with alchemical life, so I am also unable to provide further information. If it were Alice, she might know.]
[Jean: No matter what, I will definitely protect Mondstadt.]
...
Liyue Chat Room
[Hu Tao: Zhongli, Zhongli, can you hear me?]
[Zhongli: I can hear you. (sipping tea)]
[Ningguang: This thing is truly remarkable. If it could be popularized in Liyue, people's lives would be much more convenient.]
[Keqing: Indeed, sending messages would save a lot of travel.]
[Ganyu: How amazing, it's like a dream… A dream, when was the last time I had one?]
...
All who possessed elemental power within the world of Genshin Impact had entered the live broadcast room.
However, the vast majority still had no idea why the Video Compilation System had appeared.
At that moment, the system finished loading.
[Video loading complete.]
[About to play: Genshin Impact's Top 10 Saddest Moments Compilation #1: Furina.]
[Please enjoy this compilation: "The Sinner's Finale."]
A stark line of white text appeared on the screen within the broadcast room.
As the text appeared, a stream of live comments poured onto the screen.
[Keqing: "The Sinner's Finale"? What does that mean? A sinner dancing?]
[Yelan: I prefer locking sinners up in prison and making them reform through labor.]
[Hu Tao: @Zhongli, consultant, you're so knowledgeable, do you know what that text means?]
[Zhongli: (sipping tea) I have a vague understanding. Furina is the Hydro Archon of Fontaine. As for the meaning of "The Sinner's Finale," I am unclear.]
[Furina: Hahahahahaha! That's right! I am the Hydro Archon of Fontaine! Rich or poor, those with wine glasses and those without, cheer for me enthusiastically! I shall welcome you to the nation of water. I, Focalors, shall give you a warm welcome! There, you may now cheer for me!]
