While everyone was still standing by and watching, the system issued a group announcement.
"Hello, friends from other universes, the continent of Teyvat, and the Honkai: Star Rail universe. This is a chat group capable of broadcasting videos of the past, present, and future. From time to time, it will also feature some outrageous, funny, heartwarming, and healing short videos, or even derivative fan creations. Let's chat and have a good time together."
(Note: This light screen cannot be seen by ordinary people; only those who have entered the chat group can see one another. Therefore, please do not watch in crowded places with ordinary people, lest you be regarded as a fool, hehe.)
[Aether: Something's wrong here. How could such a thing appear in Teyvat? And I just saw Lumine enter as well. @Lumine, where are you right now?]
[Lumine: Brother, you don't need to know where I am, but I will wait for you at the end of the journey.]
"Lumine has gone offline..."
[Paimon: It's okay, Traveler! We've already been to five nations. Once we go to Natlan and Snezhnaya, we'll be able to see your sister.]
[Kamisato Ayaka: That's right, Traveler. You'll be reunited with your sister soon. Remember to come to Inazuma to find me.]
[Hu Tao: My, my, there are so many people here! Wangsheng Funeral Parlor is having a grand opening sale: buy one plot, get another free! Hurry, Consultant, lend a hand!]
[Zhongli: Alas, I simply don't know how to handle this child.]
[Dori: Oh, this is simply a wonderful place to run advertisements!]
[Group Announcement: Advertising and promotion are strictly prohibited within the chat group. Violators will be muted for one day.]
[Dori: Why can everyone else talk?]
[March 7th: Hi! Are you all people from other worlds? Is there anything interesting in your worlds?]
[Dan Heng: Teyvat? There's no introduction to this world in our database. Could it be some unmapped planet?]
...
[Lin Yu: Oh, finally things aren't boring anymore. Come to think of it, you all seem to come from two different worlds. Why is there only one person from my world here?]
[Aether: I wouldn't know about that. By the way, how is your world?]
Lin Yu thought for a moment and decided to borrow Xiao Yan's script.
[Lin Yu: Ah, but I'm not in my original world anymore. I went out to gain experience and just arrived in a world that cultivates Dou Qi. I sealed away all my strength and was born in this world, planning to temper myself, but somehow, even though I had already cultivated to the level of a Dou Zhe, my strength has now dropped all the way down to the third stage of Dou Zhi Qi.]
[Li Sushang: Ah, cultivation can actually regress? Just thinking about it is terrifying.]
...
While everyone in the chat group was chatting animatedly, Lin Yu asked the system: "Look at that, System, didn't I blend in with them quite quickly?"
"Host, would you like to start a livestream now?"
"We could. Getting some emotional value early on will make it fun to draw prizes and experience life."
With that, Lin Yu walked over to the computer, turned on the livestream, and—just like before—there wasn't a single person watching. After pondering for a moment, he opened Bilibili, intending to find some heartwarming short videos to play for everyone.
He browsed through the content, found the one he wanted, and clicked on it without a second thought.
Soon, he finished watching a few clips, left the stream running idle, and turned his attention back to the chat group.
[Ding! The administrator has uploaded a livestream clip recording — "World, ... Forget Me"]
Seeing this message, everyone was clueless about who this person might be. Had she truly lost all will to live, to the point of asking the world to forget her?
Yet Aether was deeply shocked upon seeing the message, and thought to himself: "Is this going to show what happened near Irminsul? If everyone finds out who Greater Lord Rukkhadevata is, will the Forbidden Knowledge make a comeback?"
[March 7th: Who is this person who can't go on living? How can she just give up on herself like that?]
[Nahida: What you said is true. I feel the same way—we must never lose the courage and motivation to live.]
...
Soon, the video began to play. A patch of purple grass came into view, followed by Traveler Aether, Nahida, and Paimon walking over.
Nahida: "This is it."
Aether: "The exact same place as in my memories."
Paimon: "We... we came to find Greater Lord Rukkhadevata... right?"
[Nahida: Isn't this when the Traveler and I went to purge the Forbidden Knowledge from Irminsul? But in the video, it seems I know someone named Greater Lord Rukkhadevata. Why are my memories different from what's in the video? Paimon, who is Greater Lord Rukkhadevata?]
[Paimon: Ah, I don't know either! How come I don't remember saying those words back then? Traveler, do you know?]
The Traveler looked at Paimon, who was staring back at him, let out a sigh, and spoke.
[Aether: I know. Originally, all of you knew as well, but the entire Teyvat forgot her overnight. Now, the people who remember her can be counted on one hand. As for who she is, you'll find out if you keep watching.]
[Nahida: What? Could it be that she erased herself from Irminsul?]
Seeing that Aether gave no answer—which was clearly a tacit admission—the others did not press further and turned their gaze back to the video.
Paimon: "But the person standing over there is..."
The two of them looked ahead.
Nahida: "Me...? Exactly the same as me..."
After speaking, Nahida ran forward a few steps.
Nahida: "You are... Greater Lord Rukkhadevata?"
