The setting sun dyed the waters around Guyun Stone Forest gold.
Seagulls circled overhead, calling out over the gentle waves.
On the deck of the Crux flagship, the Alcor, Kaedehara Kazuha stood completely frozen, staring at the glowing object in his hand.
He had received several extraordinary abilities—Swiftwind Swordsmanship, Wind Spirit Fractal Blade, and Ultimate Art: Starfall Execution—
yet all of them paled before one line of text on the final reward:
Intertwined Fate — can resurrect the dead.
Behind him, Beidou crossed her arms, unusually solemn.
"Well?" she asked. "Are you going to try it?"
"Yes."
Kazuha inhaled deeply, holding the Intertwined Fate with both hands.
He whispered, voice trembling with hope he had buried for a year:
"Please… bring my friend, Ryoma Shimotsuki, back to life."
—— Whoooosh!! ——
A tornado of wind burst skyward, spiraling into seven-colored radiance.
The Alcor lurched violently.
Beidou dug her boots into the deck, shielding her face from the gale, while Kazuha held his ground with difficulty.
At the center of the vortex, starlight fused into a human silhouette.
Crackle—spark—crackle…
At Kazuha's waist, the empty Electro Vision—his friend's—began to glow faintly, like embers rekindled.
The incomplete Vision trembled, thunderlight pulsing toward the forming figure.
Snap!
A hand reached outward from the aurora.
The light dissipated—
And a young man with familiar features slowly opened his eyes.
"Where… am I?"
He blinked rapidly, bewildered.
"I was dead. I'm sure I was dead… Kazuha?!"
Kazuha's breath hitched. The high ponytail, the ronin's garb, the calm yet spirited eyes—
It was really him.
"Ryōma…!"
He lunged forward and pulled the man into a tight embrace.
"Welcome back…!"
His voice wavered. A few shimmering tears scattered in the wind like falling starlight.
Ryoma, stunned for a moment, let out a soft laugh and patted Kazuha's back like an older brother.
"So that's how it is… Good grief. You really went and pulled me back, huh?"
Beidou stood off to the side, one hand on her hip.
The sunset cast their silhouettes long across the deck.
"Heh," she chuckled. "Looks like Captain Beidou's the third wheel today."
Seagulls sped across the glowing horizon.
The wind carried Kazuha's quiet sob of relief.
And this whole miracle—
played LIVE across Teyvat.
The entire VIP chat exploded.
[Paimon: N-no way… he ACTUALLY came back to life?!]
[Sucrose: That Intertwined Fate… its structure does seem capable of… resurrection… (adjusts glasses nervously)]
[Arataki Itto: YO!! REVIVAL JUTSU?! TOO OP!!!]
[Xingqiu: Truly outrageous. This channel may be comedic, but the power it holds may surpass the divine.]
[Bennett: I want miracles too! Help!! (still running through Dragonspine)]
[Pantalone: Every miracle has its cost. To gain one, you must pay something far greater.]
[Dori: Oho~ Interested in discussing "prices" with a humble merchant like me? (scheming sparkle)]
[Pantalone: With pleasure.]
[La Signora: To reverse death…]
[Xiao: Fushe… Yingda… Minu… Fanan…]
[Venti: Raiden Shogun! Sweetie! Could you share just ONE of those fates? Pretty please~ (winks flamboyantly)]
[Yae Miko: Fufufu~ This proves the stream isn't bluffing. What delightful chaos~]
[Baizhu: If only there were a true elixir of immortality…]
[Hu Tao: Heeey, Doctor Baizhu! Messing with life and death is bad luck, y'know!]
The chat was in shock.
Before now, the livestream only handed out Mora, skills, items, or bizarre artifacts.
But resurrection?
That shattered the limits of Teyvat's understanding.
Across the screen, countless notable figures stared intensely:
Kaeya. Diluc. Venti. Amber. Shenhe. Yelan. Zhongli. Xiao.
Even La Signora, Scaramouche, and Heizou paused in stunned silence.
If even death could be erased—
What couldn't the livestream accomplish?
For mortals and gods alike, new possibilities opened:
Wealth. Power. Redemption.
Cures for corruption.
Answers to centuries-old tragedy.
A single Intertwined Fate had thrown the world into upheaval.
And then—
[Ding! Ryoma Shimotsuki is now online!]
[Ryoma Shimotsuki: Hello everyone. I'll be in your care—especially you, General Kujou. (civil smile) @KujouSara]
[Kujou Sara: …I will. (complicated.jpg)]
[Gorou: Welcome back!]
[Kokomi: Please visit Watatsumi Island sometime. Many in the Resistance honor your sacrifice.]
[Thoma: RYŌMA!! YOU MADMAN, YOU'RE ACTUALLY ALIVE—Hahahaha!! (crying.jpg)]
The public chat collapsed entirely:
[Dongsheng: BRO WHAT. DEAD PEOPLE CAN JUST… COME BACK?]
[Ruhavi: This stream is TOO SCARY.]
[Stanley: …If only you could bring me back too.]
[Borlai: If I had ten of those, I'd be rich beyond belief!]
[Wanyan: Could we revive the God of Salt…?]
[Tariq: TEN Intertwined Fates… we could restore the Scarlet King! Brothers, our time is NOW!]
[Zheping: If answering correctly can revive people, I'll study EVERY TRIVIA BOOK IN TEYVAT!]
[Timmie: If only… if only it could bring back my father…]
[Donna: If only I could meet the Darknight Hero… just once… (dreamy sigh)]
The world trembled—not from battle, but from a miracle.
A miracle that defied divine order.
And every soul watching knew:
Teyvat would never be the same again.
