Dialogue[]
Quest DescriptionWithin the ruins, Kliment and Wanyan each betray the contract in turn for personal reasons. As punishment, Kliment is cast out of the ruin and deprived of his reward. Wanyan is made to witness a truth that shatters her beliefs -- the God of Salt was gentle but weak and was betrayed and slain as a result. Bearing witness to this incident and filled with conflicted feelings as a result, you follow Zhongli back to Guyun Stone Forest.
- (Go to Guyun Stone Forest and talk to Zhongli)
- Zhongli: Now, I mentioned before that many gods of old have been sealed beneath the Guyun Stone Forest.
- Zhongli: The adepti have presently handed Liyue over to mortals, and Havria's time was even further in the past. The salt chalice and salt ruler that she left behind should not return to Liyue.
- Zhongli: To leave them here is to let them slumber, and it is also a homecoming...
So, what would you like us to do?- Zhongli: I ended an era with my own two hands. I have always wondered how I should... remember that which I ended.
- Zhongli: History records, but history may be changed. This incident proved that. Time is a mighty force, and histories twist in its flow...
- Zhongli: I need to find a better way of recording history in order to engrave its truth.
- Zhongli: Stone carvings were one such ancient method. But unchanging stone, immovable earth, even one such as myself... Someday, we may all disappear.
- Paimon: Zhongli...
- Zhongli: Therefore, I thought of you, Traveler.
- Zhongli: You are one who crosses the celestial atlas, and who passes through countless worlds. If our history is engraved in your memory, it will one day accompany you into another world.
- Zhongli: As long as a Traveler like you is able to record what happened, then a backup of sorts will exist for times and tides of Teyvat.
- So that's why you wanted us to come with you.
- Paimon: Sounds like tough work.
- So you didn't just bring me along to find treasure?
- Zhongli: Hahaha... Well, may you find treasure among the stars even after you have left Teyvat.
- Zhongli: Now, I am the God of Wealth, so I would think that my words have some weight here.
- Zhongli: Now then, it is time that we consigned both the salt chalice and salt ruler to the sea.
- Paimon: Huh? Why do we need to throw them into the sea?
- Zhongli: As I said before... This is the place to which the remnants of many bygone gods are consigned.
- Zhongli: This includes Osial, Overlord of the Vortex, who the Jade Chamber most recently returned to this ocean prison...
So you didn't just bring me along to find treasure?
- (In the sea breeze, Zhongli tells you tales from Liyue's long history. Gazing down at the blue ocean surface and the jagged backdrop of Guyun Stone Forest, Zhongli finally casts, the relics of the God of Salt into the part of the sea where the Overlord of the Vortex lies. Perhaps another spark of divinity has now parted from Liyue, but the question of what it all means will be left to the judgement of those who are yet to come.)
- Zhongli: Thousands of years ago, the adepti and I fought against the turmoil that plagued every corner of this land.
- Zhongli: Guyun Stone Forest, where I sealed many gods with my spears...
- Zhongli: After so long, naught but folktales remain.
- Zhongli: Osial... you and I were foes...
- Zhongli: But our ancient grudge is but a bygone memory now.
- Zhongli: May that which Havria has left behind be yours to subsume.
- Zhongli: Thus another spark of divinity departs from Liyue.
- Zhongli: My legacy shall now be left for those who come after to debate.
- (Talk to Zhongli)
- Zhongli: I will remain here for a while. I fear that moments of reminiscence like this can only grow fewer.
- I feel a bit bad for the God of Salt...
- Zhongli: We did not measure right and wrong during the days of the Archon War in the same manner as we do today.
- Zhongli: Of course, as I am now... I only wish that she could have lived in a gentler time.
- Won't these relics cause Osial to grow in power?
- Zhongli: Though the salt chalice and salt ruler do have power in their own right, they are nothing before Osial.
- Zhongli: If a day comes when he should recover his strength and return... Ha, I believe that even so, he will be defeated once more.
- What will you do now?
- Zhongli: That is a good question. In the past, I might have given you a most specific answer.
- Zhongli: But now... Yes, I suppose I will continue in my role as a consultant at Wangsheng Funeral Parlor.
- Zhongli: But if this journey was to your liking, why don't you come along the next time I am seeking to preserve memories of Liyue's past?
