"Those deeds are still sung under the shade of every Thunder Sakura tree to this day, but the scars left by those losses still burn with pain."

"Just keep pursuing; even if it is a fleeting light, we at least possess the present."

"She once said that... but I witnessed a nation running with all its might lose everything before the Heavenly Principles. Perhaps only by freezing time will the lightning not vanish."

"The present is a fragile illusion; only eternity is closest to the Heavenly Principles."

"Now, I am no longer the shadow."

"This body is the most supreme and noble body, and it should hold the great power of the world."

"This body shall promise the subjects a dream, which is the eternity that remains unchanged for a thousand generations."

Those were one scene after another.

It was the hideous giant serpent, slain by a single Musou blade.

It was the angry Thunderbird, pierced by arrows.

It was endless monsters of twisted resentment swarming in.

It was the war-torn nation of destruction.

It was the figure falling into her arms, desperate and pained.

It was transforming herself into a puppet, her consciousness sitting withered in the inner world meditating.

【Kujou Sara】: The Shogun... so she had experienced so much...

【Kamisato Ayaka】: I suddenly understand the Shogun's thoughts a bit, it's just that her method was wrong...

【Sangonomiya Kokomi】: Orobashi... sigh...

【Zhongli】: Wishing to buy osmanthus wine to drink together, but alas, when will we see our old friends again?

【Venti】: Sigh.

【Nahida】: (Confused)

【Yae Miko】: The stubborn god has begun to change, but how can the mistakes made in the past be remedied? (Sighs)

【Raiden Ei】: I...

Raiden Ei was extremely dejected.

She had witnessed everything.

Everything was proving the error of the Vision Hunt Decree and her stubbornness.

She had walked a path destined for failure.

Even without Gu Chen and the others, this nation would have collapsed on its own.

"I was truly wrong..."

"Sister..."

"Alright, everything in this life hasn't happened yet, there is still time to make amends~" Yae Miko hugged her gently.

"Mm!"

Raiden Ei's gaze became firm.

"I will not let the Shogun persist on this wrong path again... Eternity... at least, my path is wrong!"

【Lumine】: So what? Raiden Ei has had a change of heart, Inazuma is thriving, but what about me? What about me!!

【Raiden Ei】:... I'm sorry.

【Kaeya】: The past life video has such a huge impact on Miss Lumine? (Curious)

【Paimon】: Sigh, her heart ached terribly when Gu Chen died. If she hadn't been unable to beat her, I think she would have gone to Inazuma immediately. (Paimon: Shocked)

【Nilou】: It's a pity the video is only from a past life and has no connection to this life. Otherwise, Miss Lumine and Mr. Gu Chen... ah no! If only Mr. Gu Chen could live well!

【Lyney】: A bit sad, but the great magician's intuition tells me the video seems to be nearing its end, or Miss Lumine is about to start a new journey.

Inside the video.

Lumine was brooding over Gu Chen's death.

But when the thousands of wishes left, Lumine was no match for Raiden Ei.

Raiden Ei apologized sincerely to Lumine, but Lumine did not accept it, only stating coldly that she did not need the concern of the murderer's master.

Raiden Ei was at a loss and had no choice but to abolish the Vision Hunt Decree first.

Outside the Plane of Euthymia, she saw eternity in the eyes of the world.

"Some wishes are enough to soothe pain, bring victory, and evoke hope."

"Some wishes, even if the person who possessed them has passed away and their soul has returned to the high heavens, remain just as they were at birth—sincere and fiery, until eternity..."

Grand Narukami Shrine.

Yae Miko stood under the Sacred Sakura tree, looking at the expressionless Lumine.

After a faint sigh, she slowly took out an envelope and said softly: "He gave this to me. He didn't explain anything, just asked me to give it to you later. Now... perhaps he anticipated something back then?"

Lumine's pupils trembled as she reached out to take it.

Bright sunlight spilled over the Grand Narukami Shrine, and cherry blossom petals danced with the light breeze.

Yae Miko did not disturb her and left quietly.

Lumine slowly opened the envelope, which contained a letter.

"To my best travel companion, Lumine."

"When you see this letter, I think I should have died under the Raiden Shogun's blade."

"I am very sorry, I can no longer accompany you on your journey, but I hope you don't blame me, don't blame the Raiden Shogun, and don't let hatred blind your eyes. You should tidy up your mood and continue on your own journey."

"The road ahead is always full of mystery and the unknown; there are too many things waiting for you to witness."

"Oh right! Paimon used to pester me, saying she wanted to eat the grilled fish from when we first met. I thought, there were no seasonings on hand back then, what was so good about it? It's a pity Paimon won't be able to eat that grilled fish. She is our best guide; Lumine, take good care of this child in the future, and take good care of yourself too."

"Let go of negative emotions and travel light, my travel companion!"

【Venti】: @【Gu Chen】 My friend, are you trying to kill me?!

【Keqing】: Ahhhhh!! I suddenly recalled every bit of their journey!!!

【Raiden Ei】: The guilt is even stronger...

【Yae Miko】: (Photo of Raiden Ei sad with red-rimmed eyes)

The video's perspective shifted.

Lumine and Paimon headed to Sumeru.

Lumine and Paimon headed to Fontaine.

Lumine and Paimon continued on their journey.

But whenever there was new scenery or a new story, she would return on her own.

Even if she had no free time, she would send photos and letters, entrusting Yae Miko to burn them before Gu Chen's grave, hoping that he could see them too.

【Past Life Series Issue One】

【Concluded!】

【Main characters will receive rewards】

【Gu Chen receives past life memories】

For some people, memories are far more precious than any treasure.

They might be plain, they might be happy, or they might be filled with joy, anger, sorrow, and delight.

In the eyes of those who cherish them, no matter what they look like, they are the most precious.
