1
00:00:01,050 --> 00:00:06,150
We had no time to say goodbye, so let's not call it that.

2
00:00:15,050 --> 00:00:20,625
The war has already begun. It is just a continuation of past battles.

3
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:29,625
The gods goad us on with the promise of their seven treasures. Rewards for the worthy. The doorway to divinity.

4
00:00:30,250 --> 00:00:37,575
Yet buried in the depths of this world lies smoldering remains, a warning to those that dare trespass.

5
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:41,725
"That throne in the sky is not reserved for you"

6
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:46,975
But mortal arrogation never stops.

7
00:00:48,825 --> 00:00:51,275
None will escape the flames.

8
00:00:52,275 --> 00:00:53,925
See for yourself.

9
00:00:55,600 --> 00:01:01,750
The dragon who defended Mondstadt for a millennium finally faces his perturbation.

10
00:01:03,025 --> 00:01:07,450
What does freedom really mean, when demanded of you by a god?

11
00:01:10,850 --> 00:01:17,000
The God of Contracts, senselessly slaughtered as his people watched on in horror.

12
00:01:17,475 --> 00:01:23,200
In the end, he will sign the contract to end all contracts.

13
00:01:26,150 --> 00:01:32,050
In the secluded land of the immortal Shogun, the Bakufu rules eternal.

14
00:01:33,925 --> 00:01:39,400
But what do mortals see of the eternity chased after by their god?

15
00:01:42,650 --> 00:01:51,400
The God of Wisdom's enemy is wisdom itself, and the oasis of knowledge is a mirage in the desert of ignorance.

16
00:01:51,700 --> 00:01:59,775
In the city of scholars there is a push for folly, yet the God of Wisdom makes no argument against it.

17
00:02:02,250 --> 00:02:08,925
The God of Justice lives for the spectacle of the courtroom, seeking to judge all other gods.

18
00:02:10,375 --> 00:02:14,850
But even she knows not to make an enemy of the divine.

19
00:02:19,025 --> 00:02:27,875
The rules of war are woven in the womb: the victors shall burn bright, while the losers must turn to ash.

20
00:02:29,475 --> 00:02:37,000
When the God of War shares this secret with the Traveler, it is because she has her reasons.

21
00:02:39,750 --> 00:02:46,550
She is a god with no love left for her people, nor do they have any left for her.

22
00:02:47,325 --> 00:02:55,050
Her followers hope only to be on her side when the day of her rebellion against the divine comes at last.

23
00:02:57,525 --> 00:03:04,175
In the perpetual meantime of a sheltered eternity, most are content to live, and not to dream.

24
00:03:04,650 --> 00:03:11,400
But in the hidden corners where the gods' gaze does not fall, there are those who dream of dreaming.

25
00:03:13,450 --> 00:03:21,075
Some say a few are chosen and the rest are dregs, but I say we humans have our humanity.

26
00:03:21,750 --> 00:03:25,325
We will defy this world with a power from beyond.

27
00:03:27,250 --> 00:03:30,975
Now, you who has set foot in this world.

28
00:03:31,350 --> 00:03:36,325
Your journey has reached its end, but one final doorway remains.

29
00:03:38,175 --> 00:03:42,175
Step forth, if you have understood the meaning of your journey.

30
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:49,775
Defeat me, command me to step aside, show me that you are worthier than I to rescue her.

31
00:03:50,825 --> 00:03:55,975
Then, the threads of all fate will be yours to re-weave.

32
00:04:03,975 --> 00:04:13,750
My memory has all but faded completely... But I will always remember how much she too, loved these flowers.
