00:00:01.050 --> 00:00:06.150
We had no time to say goodbye, so let's not call it that.

00:00:15.050 --> 00:00:20.625
The war has already begun. It is just a continuation of past battles.

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.

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.

00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:41.725
"That throne in the sky is not reserved for you"

00:00:43.800 --> 00:00:46.975
But mortal arrogation never stops.

00:00:48.825 --> 00:00:51.275
None will escape the flames.

00:00:52.275 --> 00:00:53.925
See for yourself.

00:00:55.600 --> 00:01:01.750
The dragon who defended Mondstadt for a millennium finally faces his perturbation.

00:01:03.025 --> 00:01:07.450
What does freedom really mean, when demanded of you by a god?

00:01:10.850 --> 00:01:17.000
The God of Contracts, senselessly slaughtered as his people watched on in horror.

00:01:17.475 --> 00:01:23.200
In the end, he will sign the contract to end all contracts.

00:01:26.150 --> 00:01:32.050
In the secluded land of the immortal Shogun, the Bakufu rules eternal.

00:01:33.925 --> 00:01:39.400
But what do mortals see of the eternity chased after by their god?

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.

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.

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.

00:02:10.375 --> 00:02:14.850
But even she knows not to make an enemy of the divine.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

00:03:21.750 --> 00:03:25.325
We will defy this world with a power from beyond.

00:03:27.250 --> 00:03:30.975
Now, you who has set foot in this world.

00:03:31.350 --> 00:03:36.325
Your journey has reached its end, but one final doorway remains.

00:03:38.175 --> 00:03:42.175
Step forth, if you have understood the meaning of your journey.

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.

00:03:50.825 --> 00:03:55.975
Then, the threads of all fate will be yours to re-weave.

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.
