After Asmodeus left.
Lin Mo used his own power.
A black curtain that blocked out the sun descended upon the sky above Teyvat.
The curtain obscured the sun, and shadows enveloped the seven nations of Teyvat.
The entire continent of Teyvat seemed to plunge into night in an instant.
Countless people looked up at the curtain in the sky.
Their eyes were filled with confusion, doubt, and fear.
Liyue Harbor, Three Cups of Tea.
"What's that in the sky?"
"What's going on? Is it the end of the world?"
"Could it be...?"
"..."
People on the street were talking about it.
Zhongli, who was drinking tea in Three Cups of Tea, also looked up, a solemn expression in his eyes.
"Is this the power of Celestia...?"
Zhongli's voice was heavy as he muttered, "It came sooner than expected. Judging by this, it seems that things are about to get big."
Zhongli had once fought alongside Celestia in the war against Khaenri'ah.
He had some understanding of its power.
Therefore, when the black curtain descended upon the sky of Teyvat, he felt it.
The Celestia that had slumbered for five hundred years had awakened.
Now, with these undercurrents swirling in Teyvat, it must have known.
In addition to the descent of the black curtain.
Therefore.
At this moment, Zhongli felt a sudden wave of unease.
...
Mondstadt, in front of the Knights of Favonius headquarters.
Jean, Kaeya, Lisa, Albedo, and the others gathered in front of the Knights' headquarters.
They seemed to be discussing something.
"Oh no, it's not good."
At that moment, Venti walked over from somewhere.
"Mr. Venti, do you know anything?" Jean quickly stepped forward and asked.
Others might not know, but she did.
This bard and drunkard in the eyes of others was actually Barbatos, the Anemo Archon of Mondstadt.
"I know a little bit."
Venti waved his hand and said, "The Celestia that has been asleep for five hundred years has awakened. This black curtain is the power of Celestia. The shadow of the curtain covers the seven nations of Teyvat. What will happen next, to be honest, I'm not optimistic."
On the other side.
Inazuma, Tenshukaku.
On the platform of the top floor, Ei and Yae Miko stood side by side.
"Ei, what do you think the awakened Celestia wants to do?" Yae Miko looked up at the black curtain in the sky and said.
"I can't say."
Ei's eyes blinked slightly as she shook her head. "But my intuition tells me that Celestia is making such a big move, it must be to settle accounts with some people and some things."
In the five hundred years that Celestia had been asleep, too many things had happened in Teyvat.
The Tsaritsa of Snezhnaya collected the Gnoses and dared to rebel against Celestia.
The Abyss Order, led by the Abyss Prince, was stirring, attempting to overthrow the rule of the gods.
All of this.
Was a provocation and betrayal of the throne in the high heavens.
...
Sumeru, Palace of Alcazarzaray.
"Celestia has awakened..." Nahida's face was heavy, and a hint of fear appeared in her emerald eyes.
The name of Celestia.
For the seven Archons, it was an insurmountable mountain.
"Tch, what's there to be afraid of?"
On the side, Scaramouche crossed his arms and said indifferently, "Even Celestia, if it wants to settle accounts with someone, it must have sufficient reason. You haven't participated in the Ice Archon's plan."
Nahida agreed with Scaramouche's statement.
But...
Deep down, she had a strange sense of unease.
Fontaine.
"Traveler, what is this?!"
The sudden appearance of the black curtain made Paimon run to hide behind Lumine.
"Celestia...!"
Lumine's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, with a hint of fear.
"Ah? Celestia?!"
Paimon was startled. "But wasn't Celestia asleep? Why did it suddenly wake up?!"
"I don't know, but it has awakened!"
The awakening of Celestia was something that the high-level officials of each nation knew about.
It was just that they didn't have an accurate idea of when Celestia would awaken.
The awakening of Celestia and the descent of a black curtain upon the sky of Teyvat.
Shocked the entire continent of Teyvat!
Opera Epicles.
Narivaar secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, they managed to solve Fontaine's prophecy before Celestia awakened.
Otherwise.
The scene from the prophecy where all of Fontaine would dissolve into the sea would have played out in reality.
And he probably wouldn't have been able to successfully reclaim the power of Hydro from Focalors.
...
Of course.
If anyone was most afraid and apprehensive about the awakening of Celestia, it was Snezhnaya.
They hadn't finished collecting the Gnoses yet, but Celestia had awakened ahead of schedule.
For the Tsaritsa, for the Fatui Harbingers led by the Jester.
This was undoubtedly a bombshell!
Fatui headquarters, the conference room.
Because of the Tsaritsa's plan, the servants, the Eleventh, and the other Harbingers had returned.
Except for the Captain who was still in Natlan, the remaining Harbingers were all gathered in the conference room.
"I think you all know about this."
The Fatui Tsaritsa's puppet, Pierro, scanned the room with his deep voice, "The Throne in the High Heavens has awakened. This is extremely bad news for Her Majesty, and for our common goal."
"Interesting, it woke up at this precise moment."
The second-in-command of the Fatui Harbingers, Dottore, said this, seated to Pierro's left.
This was not only the moment when they were short of the last Gnosis, but also the moment when the Tsaritsa's plan was about to be implemented.
So.
Celestia waking up at this moment was very intriguing.
Don't think that their Fatui are causing chaos in the six nations of Teyvat, but the name of Celestia.
For them, it was also an oppressive mountain.
If they were fully prepared, Celestia waking up wouldn't be a big deal.
But they were not fully prepared at this time.
If Celestia found out that they, Snezhnaya, were attempting to rebel against it, then all the efforts they had made over the years to collect the Gnoses.
Would be like a phantom bubble.
"This is indeed a big problem." The young girl lowered her gaze and said calmly.
"So, what does Her Majesty want to do?"
The servant looked at Pierro and asked.
"Capitano's plan continues, and we wait and see."
Pierro said without hesitation, "Celestia's actions have already begun. We must remain silent and buy Capitano as much time as possible to get the Pyro Gnosis back!"
