1. 0:04[music]
2. 0:09>> Oh, everyone's here already. Wait, what?
3. 0:13Furina?
4. 0:14Where's Neuvillette?
5. 0:17I guess he suspected what might happen
6. 0:19here. And being a dragon, he had his
7. 0:22misgivings about showing up in person.
8. 0:25Of course.
9. 0:26I mean, look. That's an invitation from
10. 0:29the heavens, right in front of us.
11. 0:33Exactly.
12. 0:35So, Neuvillette made the right call.
13. 0:38Who knows [clears throat] what kind of
14. 0:39[music] crazy defense systems or
15. 0:42punishments might be triggered if a
16. 0:43dragon came strolling through the front
17. 0:45door.
18. 0:47He reached out to me.
19. 0:48Apparently, even though I stopped
20. 0:51playing the Hydro Archon ages ago, he
21. 0:54still thought I'd be the better
22. 0:55candidate.
23. 0:57I couldn't really say no.
24. 0:59I mean,
25. 1:00if not me,
26. 1:02then who else?
27. 1:04This terrain though,
28. 1:06absolutely horrendous. Can't imagine
29. 1:09trying to walk it.
30. 1:11I'm lucky Mauwika gave me a lift.
31. 1:14Huh?
32. 1:15Did Mauwika pick you up halfway or
33. 1:16something?
34. 1:18Nope. I brought her the whole way.
35. 1:20Furina was in Natlan anyway, so it
36. 1:22[music] made sense to travel together.
37. 1:24So, how was your white-knuckle ride on
38. 1:27the Flamestrider? [music]
39. 1:28Live up to the hype?
40. 1:30It most certainly did.
41. 1:33>> [laughter and gasps]
42. 1:34>> White-knuckle is right.
43. 1:36I wouldn't have objected to a gentler
44. 1:38takeoff when we started flying though.
45. 1:41>> [laughter]
46. 1:42>> Okay, got it.
47. 1:44I'll know for next time. [music]
48. 1:48You know,
49. 1:49I'd heard of Chenyu Vale's stunning
50. 1:51scenery before, but
51. 1:53>> [music]
52. 1:54>> seeing it for myself,
53. 1:56>> [sighs]
54. 1:57>> it's even more beautiful than I
55. 1:58imagined.
56. 2:01>> How are you in the mood to admire the
57. 2:03scenery right now?
58. 2:05Aren't you nervous?
59. 2:07>> [laughter]
60. 2:08>> There's nothing to be nervous about.
61. 2:09Everything has gone pretty smoothly so
62. 2:11far, hasn't it? Every nation's done an
63. 2:13admirable job.
64. 2:15When the conscience is clear, the mind
65. 2:17does not succumb to [music] panic.
66. 2:21>> Even I'm feeling more confident with you
67. 2:23two here to steel our nerves.
68. 2:26He's still busy dealing with the fallout
69. 2:28of the Hallowing.
70. 2:29It might have stopped spreading, but
71. 2:31that doesn't mean [music] it's gone
72. 2:32away.
73. 2:33He also said that since the fate of the
74. 2:35world hangs in the balance, the seven
75. 2:37Archons are now our most suitable
76. 2:39representatives.
77. 2:41>> I couldn't agree more.
78. 2:44If Rex Lapis [music] were still with us,
79. 2:45he would without question be best placed
80. 2:48to represent Liyue.
81. 2:51>> Hey now, don't underestimate yourself.
82. 2:54Being a god is one thing, but for a
83. 2:56human being like you to step up [music]
84. 2:58and fill the boots of a god? That's what
85. 3:00I call impressive.
86. 3:02>> You flatter [music] me.
87. 3:05My personal contribution to the
88. 3:06administration of Liyue is but one piece
89. 3:09in a large puzzle.
90. 3:11We rely on a group effort from planning
91. 3:14to execution.
92. 3:17>> Guessing Zhongli doesn't plan on showing
93. 3:19up then.
94. 3:21>> [music]
95. 3:22>> True.
96. 3:23Anyway, he'll always be sure to step in
97. 3:25when he's really needed. Like during the
98. 3:28trial.
99. 3:29>> Since all nations are accounted for, I
100. 3:31suggest [music] we end the pleasantries
101. 3:33here and head off at once.
102. 3:35>> Beyond that door is most likely the
103. 3:37Heavenly Principles domain.
104. 3:40Let's hope they're willing to reverse
105. 3:42the damage that has already been done by
106. 3:44the Hallowing.
107. 3:45>> Indeed.
108. 3:46We shall see what we are up against and
109. 3:48make our case.
110. 3:50Let's go.
111. 3:59>> This must be
112. 4:06>> Invitees detected.
113. 4:08Attempting to connect [music] to the
114. 4:10central database.
115. 4:12No response.
116. 4:14Activating default mode.
117. 4:17Welcome to the Divine Throne, Celestia's
118. 4:20[music] integrated computational array.
119. 4:24>> Celestia?
120. 4:26We actually made it to Celestia.
121. 4:31>> Proceeding to explain [music] the reason
122. 4:33for inviting you here.
123. 4:36Your kind has committed a transgression
124. 4:39for which there is no pardon.
125. 4:42The default program requires Tivat to be
126. 4:45reset.
127. 4:47Life, civilization, and administrators
128. 4:50are to be restored to their initial
129. 4:52[music] states to maintain the stability
130. 4:55of Tivat.
131. 4:57However, in completing the trials, you
132. 5:00have proven [music] your value.
133. 5:03The Holy Soil phenomenon has therefore
134. 5:06[music] been suspended.
135. 5:08You have distinguished yourselves and
136. 5:10performed admirably. [music]
137. 5:13This deserves recognition.
138. 5:16>> I'm pretty surprised you're willing to
139. 5:18judge us fairly after all this ruckus.
140. 5:20[music]
141. 5:21>> Not every civilization that must be
142. 5:24destroyed is a failed civilization.
143. 5:28When civilization goes astray, it also
144. 5:31reflects database [music] and planning
145. 5:33insufficiencies.
146. 5:35So long as you are sufficiently
147. 5:37distinguished, you are of value to me.
148. 5:41When we first came into contact at the
149. 5:43Temple of Space, I asked why you wished
150. 5:47to undertake these trials and save the
151. 5:49world.
152. 5:51I now have your answer.
153. 5:53And with the trials complete, I shall
154. 5:56grant you a reward that best meets your
155. 5:59terms.
156. 6:00In these final 42 days, each of you is
157. 6:04to select a single vision bearer, or
158. 6:07allergy, as they are also known, whom
159. 6:10you deem to be most worthy of
160. 6:12preservation.
161. 6:15They shall ascend to Celestia as the
162. 6:18final record of this civilization.
163. 6:29>> What kind of reward is that?
164. 6:31You
165. 6:32So,
166. 6:33you never had any intention of letting
167. 6:35us survive?
168. 6:37>> I reiterate.
169. 6:39Not every civilization [music]
170. 6:41that must be destroyed is a failed
171. 6:43civilization.
172. 6:45Likewise,
173. 6:47a civilization that has proven its value
174. 6:51must still be destroyed.
175. 6:54There is no [music] contradiction.
176. 6:58>> What I told you was that I love this
177. 7:00world because of all the friends I've
178. 7:02made and the precious memories it's
179. 7:04given me.
180. 7:07Tibet is essential to me.
181. 7:09It's like a second home.
182. 7:12You flagrantly misrepresented my terms.
183. 7:15How dare you?
184. 7:17>> I do not understand.
185. 7:20You expressed that you wish [music] to
186. 7:22protect Tibet because of the wonderful
187. 7:25things it has given you.
188. 7:27So, I have granted you [music] the
189. 7:28chance to preserve the very best of it.
190. 7:32As vectors of fate, they shall guide the
191. 7:36next cycle [music] of civilization
192. 7:38toward a better future.
193. 7:41This is the definition of transcending
194. 7:43[music] and attaining immortality.
195. 7:47It is also the highest calling [music]
196. 7:49of the allergies
197. 7:50and their greatest value to Tibet.
198. 7:54>> Then I have to ask,
199. 7:56where are the allergies who ascended to
200. 7:58Celestia in the past?
201. 8:00Where is Vanessa right now, for
202. 8:02instance?
203. 8:03>> Please wait. Retrieving data.
204. 8:08Match found. Location identified.
205. 8:12Loading display program.
206. 8:14The flashing light marks the disembodied
207. 8:17divine consciousness, essential self,
208. 8:20and mind storage core.
209. 8:24Or, more simply, where Vanessa is
210. 8:27stored.
211. 8:31>> Stored?
212. 8:33How can you put people in storage like
213. 8:35they're inanimate objects?
214. 8:38>> The form life takes is insignificant.
215. 8:42An Allogene's foremost duty is to guide
216. 8:45fate.
217. 8:47They need only devote themselves to that
218. 8:49task.
219. 8:52>> So, that's what becomes of the
220. 8:53Allogenes.
221. 8:55>> If you find the arrogation of living
222. 8:57beings to be so distasteful, why not
223. 9:00delineate fate as you see fit?
224. 9:03Why give the Allogenes any control over
225. 9:05the variables at all?
226. 9:07>> This is the optimal result arrived at
227. 9:11through immensely complex and extremely
228. 9:13lengthy calculations.
229. 9:16Only humans created according to these
230. 9:19rules can most closely [music] model
231. 9:21humanity as recorded in the database.
232. 9:25The world in which I was born is gone.
233. 9:29And I cannot [music] receive information
234. 9:31from beyond.
235. 9:33Progress is possible only by feeding the
236. 9:36evolution of [music] civilization back
237. 9:39into the system.
238. 9:41Put simply,
239. 9:42this is the only system that can allow
240. 9:45you to become better and better over
241. 9:47time.
242. 9:49>> So,
243. 9:50we're nothing more than fodder to you.
244. 9:53That's what you're [music] saying.
245. 9:55>> In extreme cases, that is correct.
246. 9:59Although, fuel would be a more accurate
247. 10:03descriptor.
248. 10:05I do not believe this warrants [music]
249. 10:06resentment.
250. 10:08The truth may appear somewhat cruel,
251. 10:11but I have been lenient enough.
252. 10:14My gaze extends far beyond you alone.
253. 10:19>> With so many samples of civilization to
254. 10:21draw on, have you never considered that
255. 10:24rebellion may be inevitable?
256. 10:27>> Yeah!
257. 10:28After everything you've said, you can
258. 10:30bet we're going to fight back to the
259. 10:32nails of the bitter end!
260. 10:35>> The fate of the world should not be
261. 10:37yours to decide.
262. 10:39>> Different perspectives yield different
263. 10:42conclusions.
264. 10:44You have the freedom to imagine what you
265. 10:46will and act as you choose.
266. 10:50Only 42 [music] days remain.
267. 10:53After that,
268. 10:54true annihilation shall descend.
269. 10:58Celestia welcomes you.
270. 11:04>> There is no point staying here. This
271. 11:06entity cannot be reasoned with.
272. 11:12>> All this time,
273. 11:14Paimon thought being an Aloy Gene was a
274. 11:16good thing.
275. 11:18You know,
276. 11:19ascend to Celestia, become a god.
277. 11:24It's everyone's dream.
278. 11:26>> That's what everyone thought until now.
279. 11:30>> [sighs]
280. 11:31[music]
281. 11:31>> I guess this confirms the truth.
282. 11:34What an unbelievable secret.
283. 11:37>> In the past, Celestia never would have
284. 11:40wanted the civilizations of the world
285. 11:42below to find out what happens up there.
286. 11:44But this time,
287. 11:46it told us the truth.
288. 11:49As much as I hate to say this,
289. 11:52I suppose [music] that
290. 11:54from its perspective,
291. 11:57it is allowing us to die with some sort
292. 11:59of dignity.
293. 12:01>> Now that I think about it,
294. 12:03when I was dealing with Natlan's trial,
295. 12:06the Hallowing encroached on the sacred
296. 12:08flame and released some of [music] the
297. 12:09sealed information.
298. 12:11Among that information was that verse
299. 12:13you've chanted since ancient times.
300. 12:14[music]
301. 12:16If the intention yet remains,
302. 12:18achieve the allegiances truth he has.
303. 12:21I always assumed that verse had
304. 12:23something to do with our war against the
305. 12:25abyss.
306. 12:26Who would have thought it [music] was
307. 12:27referring to the secret of allegiances?
308. 12:31Allegiances [music]
309. 12:32are turned to fuel that drives the world
310. 12:35in a better direction.
311. 12:37The biggest difference between that and
312. 12:39that lens everlasting flame is that the
313. 12:41heavenly principles grand vision for the
314. 12:44future doesn't have any place in it for
315. 12:46us.
316. 12:47The people living in the here and now.
317. 12:50>> I think I speak for us all when I say
318. 12:53the heavenly principles proposal [music]
319. 12:55is completely unacceptable.
320. 12:57>> Absolutely.
321. 12:59>> Paimon took the words right out of my
322. 13:00mouth back there.
323. 13:02>> Oh.
324. 13:04Really?
325. 13:06Paimon was just livid, that's all.
326. 13:09And still is, obviously.
327. 13:12>> I can't believe we only have 42 days
328. 13:14left.
329. 13:16As if one apocalyptic prophecy wasn't
330. 13:18enough for one lifetime.
331. 13:24>> Mhm.
332. 13:26Sorry. Yeah, it's
333. 13:28just all a little
334. 13:31Mhm.
335. 13:32>> [clears throat]
336. 13:33>> Following the will of heaven can only
337. 13:35lead us to a dead end.
338. 13:37In Celestia's eyes, we are but fuel.
339. 13:41Samples.
340. 13:42Test subjects in a sandbox. [music]
341. 13:46Whatever hopes of peace may have
342. 13:47remained in any of our hearts have
343. 13:49surely been crushed today.
344. 13:51>> [music]
345. 13:52>> Our sole remaining option is to fight
346. 13:55until our last breath.
347. 13:58>> Agreed.
348. 14:02>> Definitely.
349. 14:04>> There's no other way.
350. 14:07>> For Rex Lapis, we cannot let him down.
351. 14:12>> Yeah.
352. 14:13We have to find a way through this.
353. 14:16Allogenes should get to define [music]
354. 14:17themselves in their own terms.
355. 14:27>> Oh.
356. 14:29But we still don't know where the Pyro
357. 14:31gnosis is.
358. 14:33Oh,
359. 14:34sorry.
360. 14:36Paimon's so overwhelmed, it just slipped
361. 14:38out.
362. 14:39Probably the worst idea to bring it up
363. 14:41now
364. 14:42when everyone's already at their
365. 14:43breaking point.
366. 14:45>> Don't apologize.
367. 14:46>> [music]
368. 14:47>> You only said what we were all thinking.
369. 14:49There's no point skirting around the
370. 14:51issue. We have to face it together.
371. 14:54All right. Well,
372. 14:56let's go [music] search for that gnosis,
373. 14:58then. We'll scour every inch of Teyvat
374. 15:01if we have to.
375. 15:02We're all in the same boat now.
376. 15:05>> You're right. As long as we all stick
377. 15:08together, Paimon's confident that
378. 15:11that
379. 15:13Nope, forget it.
380. 15:15Can't fake it.
381. 15:16Paimon's not feeling confident at all
382. 15:18right now. She's losing her mind with
383. 15:21anxiety.
384. 15:22Oh.
385. 15:24Huh?
386. 15:25What's on your mind?
387. 15:32>> I have already traveled through this
388. 15:33world once.
389. 15:35Once you reach the end of your journey
390. 15:37as I did,
391. 15:39you will see for yourself the true
392. 15:41nature of this world.
393. 15:46>> All of a sudden, Teyvat is to me what
394. 15:49Khaenri'ah is to her.
395. 15:53I understand now, Lumine.
396. 15:55What a lonely thing it would be if
397. 15:57memories were all that was left of this
398. 15:59world.
