???. ??? [primitive planet]

Wildpeak Echoes

After witnessing many prosperous civilizations, Octavia unexpectedly arrived at a planet in its "Primitive Age." Though the people here had not yet developed an advanced civilization, they possessed customs of communicating with the wilderness and hearts filled with the spirit to challenge fierce beasts and disasters. Some natives saw Octavia as a dangerous outsider, greeting her with spears and flying stones, though she admired their courage. Another group politely invited her to feast, asking her about the mysteries of the stars in clumsy but sincere language. Having no interest in playing the role of a god, Octavia simply documented their distinctive attire, shared them with a few fairy tales, and left their natural evolution untouched...

66. ??? [china planet]

Divine Providence

On the 66th planet, a world perpetually shrouded in a purple-black haze of "Misfortune," dwells an active group known as "Auspimancers." They are far more than geomancers in any traditional sense — they are strategists who provide their clients with tactical assistance and help them navigate through crises. Renowned for their ability to steer through peril toward stability, it is widely believed that they are able to repel "Misfortune" itself by reading the hidden energies of the land. It was the leader of these auspimancers, the most observant person on the planet, who first discovered that Octavia came from interstellar space. [...]

Morning's Dawn and Dew

Even for the seasoned traveler Octavia, the 66th planet stood out as extraordinary. Perhaps a form of "convergent evolution" had shaped its civilization, for some of its customs echoed those of Liyue in Teyvat. At the turn of the year, both cultures adorned themselves with metallic coins symbolizing wealth, a gesture meant to usher in prosperity. Yet the planet's New Year was far longer than Liyue's — sometimes lasting an entire stellar year. Its length was measured by the "Nian beast's presence," and only when this presence peaked could the year be considered complete. Octavia noted that the so-called "Nian" beast resembled certain abyssal creatures. [...]

Scarlet Cloudfall

Legends tell that when the violet-black shroud of misfortune lifts, the skies of the 66th world change in a heartbeat, dark clouds giving way to a brilliant dawn. In that fleeting moment, scarlet clouds and freely flowing skies come to embody hope and good fortune, their forms echoed throughout local dress and ornamentation. Wary of drawing suspicion as an outsider, Octavia embraced these symbols when designing an outfit meant to follow local custom. Thus was "Scarlet Cloudfall" born — woven with auspicious colors and cloudlike motifs, intended to blend seamlessly into the land's cultural fabric. [...]

Ink-Tinged Sprout

One morning on Planet No. 66, Octavia stumbled across a one-of-a-kind "Bamboo Harvest Festival." To ease the harvest in the thick bamboo groves and celebrate the arrival of a new spring, the local people sewed these fun outfits. The set's durable, inky fabric replicates the tough outer shell of aged bamboo, while the bright green lining and cuffs recall the tender green of new shoots after the first spring rain. It's said that wearing this attire lets you move nimbly through the bamboo groves, helping you unearth the freshest shoots in a flash. [...]

67. ??? [season planet]

Autumn Veins

On the 67th planet visited by Octavia, advanced technology has brought evergreen crops throughout the year, greatly diminishing the effects of withering and decay on agriculture. However, naturalism hasn't completely yielded to technology. Unmodified ordinary plants that grow, mature, and fade with the seasons are still widely preserved as a vital part of the world's original landscape. The autumn season of maturity and harvest, like many similar worlds, is celebrated and cherished. [...]

Drip-Drop Ribbit

As in the history of many civilizations, the creators of the 67th planet also endured bloody wars. Thanks to their exceptional biomimetic technology, they manufactured all sorts of advanced weapons, including biomimetic raincoats shaped like frogs that allowed soldiers to move easily in torrential rain and swamps. Today, the smoke of war has long since cleared, cold steel has been forged into farming tools, and dangerous chemicals have been repurposed into life-saving medicines. The technology of those biomimetic raincoats has also been reborn, now evoking the laughter of children playing in the rain. [...]

Prelude to Spring

The 67th planet visited by "Octavia" was the origin of a prosperous civilization. Like many civilizations across the universe, they had a clear concept of "seasons." Though expressed in different languages, the season when crops begin to sprout and grow was always given imagery similar to "spring." The people here likewise held lively celebrations before the arrival of spring to express their good wishes for the future. [...]

Sunwarmed Malt

In the 67th world, the rise of mass-produced food had filled every table, yet some still clung to the age-old art of cooking. Around glowing hearths, they prepared simple yet heartfelt dishes for those nearby. One day, a baker handed Octavia a freshly baked sample on the street, saying, "The flavor of a warm hearth is the flavor of true happiness." That golden, fragrant bread, together with the baker's attire, became a lasting memory she would keep close.

Tart Berry Muse

On the 67th planet, there lives a pair of pastry chefs known as the "Berry Obsessives," whose singular goal is to reach the pinnacle of the dessert world. Upon hearing news of an extraterrestrial visitor, they went as far as to pay an uninvited visit to Octavia, presenting her with a staggering 99-course feast of berry-themed desserts. All they craved was the ultimate endorsement: "Even an alien couldn't stop at just one bite!" It was a night of culinary madness that nearly sent her into a sugar-induced coma... [...]

Winter's Warmth

The 67th world recorded by Octavia was no different. On that winter day, she arrived at a small, unfamiliar town and hesitantly asked for a place to stay, and a kind family welcomed her with warm hospitality. The humble couple served her a generous meal, while their lively children performed melodious songs for her. [...]

93. Academy Planet

Astral Beacon

Though they possessed the ability to modify their entire planet and merge it into a giant academic collective, the civilization to which the 93rd world — the Academy Planet — belonged still put strong focus on basic geology and mapping. [...]

Blazing Ambition

On the "Academy Planet" (Planet 93), a certain ball game enjoys immense popularity. Played by two teams of five, the game centers on dribbling skills and scoring as many baskets as possible within the time limit. Traditionally, "spirit squads" perform during the intervals of each quarter to keep the energy high. While their role in setting the atmosphere is undeniable, the squad members often harbor a competitive fire of their own. [...]

Dawn's Visionary

Of all the worlds Octavia visited, the 93rd was the most peaceful. This was a pure Academy Planet with an impeccable scholastic atmosphere and living conditions, capable of constantly producing talent with wisdom, skill, and good conduct in equal measure for the civilizations under it. [...]

Grace in Motion

On the 93rd planet, few events were as cherished by students as the White Night Concert, second only to enrollment and graduation ceremonies. In Octavia's memories, the excitement began two months before the performance, when academy youth devoted every spare moment to rehearsing their signature pieces — whether refined classical symphonies, lively grand productions, or daring experimental compositions. [...]

Grand Slam Passion

During her journey across thousands of planets, Octavia discovered that no matter how advanced or primitive a civilization was, art and sports were always essential parts of it. The 93rd planet, the "Academy Planet," had invested tremendous manpower and resources to build multiple sports complexes on the scale of small cities. Every year during the hottest season of the stellar calendar, the young people on the planet form teams representing their academies to compete in intense tournaments. [...]

Painted Skies

After landing quietly on the 93rd world (the Academy Planet), Octavia would embark on a relaxing journey in the guise of a "book supplier," only for a young man and woman to see through her. As it turned out, they had long yearned for both the skies and adventure, and while traveling through the clouds in a hot air balloon, they witnessed Octavia as she landed. They longed for a life like hers, and thus agreed to keep her secret. Octavia, for her part, saw a certain romanticism in their attitude, along with similarities to people she once knew. Thus, she promised to take them on an interstellar graduation trip once they had completed their key studies...

118. ??? [cyberpunk planet]

Cerulean Tidestrike

Across the universe, chaos is never without its followers, but neither is order without its guardians. In the steel jungle of the 118th world, such guardians exist in the shadows, known as "The Tideforged Order." They drift between high-rises like passing tides, concealing themselves beneath wide-brimmed hats as they quietly erase threats that would disrupt the fragile balance of peace. An outsider whose origins were unknown and whose movements were difficult to trace, Octavia was once mistaken for one such threat. Steel met steel in their first encounter, yet from that clash came understanding. As the people of Teyvat say, true recognition often follows a crossing of blades. [...]

Chromatic Mist

Thirty years before Octavia arrived on the 118th planet, that world experienced a golden age of thriving scientific and economic development. People at that time fearlessly pursued even the most outlandish scientific visions and strove to bring their fantasies to life. Now, in the corners of the "Steel Forest," broken machines are piled like mountains, leaving only the remnants of unfulfilled dreams. However, street artists continue their pursuit of a hopeful future. [...]

Fervent Fighter

Octavia encountered fierce fighting tournaments taking place within the steel forests of the 118th world. The trophy the contestants fought for would add an important feather to their city's cap. [...]

Maverick Meowster: Glacial / Maverick Meowster: Magenta

During her temporary stay on the 118th world, Octavia again used some ingenious techniques to request the delivery of all manner of goods, such as using the virtual world's "carrier pigeons" to send messages to businesses while lying on the sofa in the hotel without leaving the house. However, she also lost her virtual messenger pigeon ID card, which resulted in her travel expenses being stolen. At that moment, it was two heroes in magenta and icy blue who stepped forth and retrieved her stolen treasure from her, thus allowing her to continue her peaceful journey. [...]

Offbeat District

After seven days of travel, Octavia wrote the following comment for the 118th world she discovered by chance: "The Forest of Steel." This was no exaggeration — cities sprawl across this world's continents, weaving a seamless "civilized existence" using steel, concrete, and strict regulations. Yet this order has also given rise to artistic groups who stand against the rules, the rising stars of which use this "Offbeat District" to showcase their striving for freedom...

Orange Passion

Within a broader system of "civilized life" that placed immense value on work, the people of the 118th planet often suffered from health issues linked to sedentary lifestyles and excessive overtime. Octavia was not here long before she had received over 100 recruitment messages from professional headhunters, alongside double the number of health supplement ads. [...]

Radiant Melody

Before leaving the "civilized world" of the 118th "Iron Forest," Octavia, on a whim, visited a popular music performance venue. There, she mingled with the enthusiastic audience and enjoyed a vivid array of performances. A young but passionate duo left a deep impression on her. It was said that once they made their name in the two-thousand-seat venue, they would step onto even grander stages, aiming to hold concerts in arenas with tens of thousands of spectators. [...]

273. Snow Star

analysis: the temperature Octavia speaks of is probably lower than -200 C and -400 F, so she is really underselling how special her coat is.

Frosty Plume

In the 273rd world frozen by ice and snow, Octavia once faced the chill of the long polar night unprepared. When the planet reached its farthest orbital point, the temperature dropped by another thirty percent, approaching the lowest point of particle kinetic energy. Even her coat that could withstand gunfire and molten iron could hardly endure this ordeal. Just then, a classical and elegant manor appeared before her, where two young hosts warmly graciously invited her inside and welcomed her to an elegant ball. As it turned out, this place was regarded as a milestone for the civilization's triumph over harsh environments. The severe winter was one of their greatest adversaries, but it also witnessed their complete establishment on every star in the stellar system. For this reason, people would hold elegant celebrations on the coldest snow night, and the attire of the two hosts was thus etched in Octavia's memory, becoming a precious page in her chronicles.

Peaceful Warm Night

On the 273rd planet, the long stretches of polar day and night define the rhythm of life. For first-time visitors, the challenge is twofold: enduring the extreme temperatures and adjusting to the disorienting, unrelenting light cycles. For a seasoned traveler like Octavia, however, such conditions were no obstacle. A safe, warm room and her trusty sleepwear set from the 118th planet were all she needed to drift into peaceful slumber. [...]

White Flash

Among the many worlds Octavia has visited, the 273rd, known as the "Snow Star," is among the most remarkable. Situated on the edge of its stellar system with insufficient sunlight, its land remains frozen in ice and snow all year round, yet people's passion for life never cools! The most popular sport here is extreme skiing. In top-tier competitions, athletes sprint down from mountain peaks that pierce through the clouds with slopes almost vertical, diving at speeds faster than birds can follow, leaving only trails of pure white... To safely experience the joy of this sport, proper protection is essential. [...]

311. ??? [sea of flowers planet]

analysis: the sea of flowers mentioned here is similar to Teyvat. the fact that this is "the final ceremony of their lives" is ominous.

Butterfly Resplendence

During her stay on Planet No. 311, Octavia happened upon its grandest ceremony. Once every twenty-seven springs, the "Flower Whisperers" represent the local residents in presenting an offering to the planet's will. This time, two scholars nearly a century old stepped into the central sea of flowers in formal attire. They had devoted ninety percent of their lives to interpreting the planet's will, making major contributions to the interpretation of "flower whispers." They also succeeded in encouraging people to live in harmony with nature and, in a gentle and rational way, improving industries that might otherwise have caused severe pollution, winning a bright future for the planet... In this final ceremony of their lives, the two scholars donned the formal attire they had loved most in their youth and danced in the sea of flowers of the planet's will. Though their movements were slow and unpolished, the sincerity and passion they revealed moved everyone present. Octavia also firmly remembered the story of the two scholars, along with their brilliantly elegant formal attire.

Cherry Blossom Driftwind

During her journey on Planet No. 311, Octavia discovered a bay filled with Sakura trees in addition to the important "Eternal Gardens." The locals here rarely go out, yet they have a custom: during the few days when the blossoms are at their peak, they hang their clothes on long lines beneath the blooming trees. They believe the breeze carries falling petals to the fabric, leaving the scent of the blossoms on it. Preserving floral fragrance on clothing in this natural way, and thus experiencing that unique charm anytime, anywhere, is one of the important ways for "Flower Whisperers" to form bonds with flowers. [...]

Melody of Petals

Planet No. 311, which Octavia visited, was especially unique, for the will of the entire planet was expressed through its "flowers." Signs of a bountiful harvest, omens of impending calamity... every phenomenon yet to come would be reflected in the flowers' colors and growth. To communicate gently with the planet and grasp the changes to come, the locals built many "Eternal Gardens" around important floral regions. Within these gardens, time itself seems to stand still. The light, temperature, and humidity are forever kept in the optimal range for plants to grow. The special group known as "Flower Whisperers" became the central figures of each garden, serving as both "interpreters" who converse with the plants and "caretakers" who tend to them. [...]

503. Ocean World

Splatter Artist

On the beaches of Planet No. 503, "Ocean World," Octavia encountered a group of little octopuses known as the "Splatter Artists." These rotund little creatures are not only champion swimmers but also natural-born artists. Whenever they happily encounter new friends, they absorb colorful natural mineral pigments and precisely spray them onto the hems of passersby's clothing. The locals pay no mind to these indelible splashes of color, seeing them instead as the little octopuses' most sincere invitation. [...]

507. ??? [cat and dog planet]

Sun-Veiled Stealth

The 507th planet on Octavia's journey is filled with adorable "hunters." These spirits, which resemble the cats and dogs familiar to ordinary understanding, will randomly seek out a human and form a pact with them. In return for caring for them and providing their food for life, the human gains wondrous powers - perhaps hearing of extreme sharpness, or a sense of touch precise enough to catch the tremors of plants and trees... By tradition, the pact-making ritual takes the form of a special game of "hide-and-seek": the longer one lasts in the ritual, the stronger the pact becomes. Unluckily for Octavia, a lawsuit with the space-lane company had kept her from sleeping well, and she was eliminated in the very first round, losing her chance at a cat spirit. Even so, she was deeply impressed by the winners of that match. [...]

666. ??? [hell planet]

Lazurite Sword

For some unknown reason, the 666th planet harbors a deadly evil power that has caused monsters to ravage the land unchecked, and for decades, the "Kingdom's" troops have struggled to hold the line against these monsters. However, a certain unit led by two field-grade officers has succeeded in penetrating the enemy line on several occasions. Drawing on discoveries from a long-lost civilization made by two historians, and on calculations from the visitor Octavia, the two commanders were able to pinpoint the monsters' lair — the very same monsters that had caused the downing of Octavia's ship, it turns out. Before the big battle, the two field-grade officers left instructions for their subordinates, bequeathing their precious formal wear to Octavia as a gesture of their gratitude...

Scaleblade Chronicles

As the decisive clash erupted on the 666th planet, the kingdom's twin "Lazurite Swords" plunged into the heart of the fell dragon's territory, nearly severing its lifeline before falling to an inexhaustible swarm. Just as all hope seemed lost, their lieutenants arrived with Octavia's backing. Tearing through the last obstacle, they decapitated the fell dragon and returned the letters their commanders had penned, a sign that the day of sacrifice was over. In the wake of their victory, the twin "Lazurite Swords" stepped down from their roles, bequeathing their legacy to their two lieutenants. As the new generals took command, they committed themselves to sweeping away the last of the foe. Elements of the fell dragon's form were dismantled and forged into ornaments for their new armor, serving as an unparalleled deterrent against the monsters that remained. Octavia would always remember the heroic sight of the two new generals — including the silhouette of their slightly trembling hands as they signed the papers to pay her spaceship's damages in full.

Timeless Echo

Octavia was attempting a gravity slingshot to escape the 666th planet's galaxy in her rental ship when hyperspeed shrapnel from the planet's surface forced her to make an emergency landing at a ruin instead. And at this very ruin were two historians who had long awaited a prophet foretold in the classics — and Octavia, they came to believe, was that prophet. They told her about the "Evil Star," a mysterious force that plagued the planet, guided her to a human stronghold for safety, and even gave her their life savings for her travel expenses... It is for this reason that Octavia remembers the duo so vividly, an decided to create a dignified and beautiful outfit for the two of them...

Phantom Prowl

After the main fighting on Planet No. 666 had come to an end and compensation for the ship had been secured, Octavia did not depart at once. Instead, she remained to assist the former lieutenants of the "Lazurite Swords" - the two great generals who had slain the evil dragon - in reorganizing the combat forces. With the beasts now leaderless and the remaining enemies scattered across every corner of the planet, the generals chief task became the precise tracking and eradication of the evil dragon faction's remnants. To that end, those skilled in traveling light, stealth, swift combat, and reconnaissance were given a more prominent role. [...]

712. Paradise Planet / Elysium Star

analysis: there are several Teyvat theme parks, and seemingly a Teyvat fandom thanks to Octavia's influence.

Chromatic Artisan

During her employment as an aesthetic consultant on the 712th world, the Paradise Planet, Octavia imposed strict visual standards on the theme park, the most important of which was the influence of color on emotion. At that time, two brilliant artists stood up to present Octavia with a multitude of fantastical plans...

Fairyland Prom

Octavia served as a consultant on the 712th world she visited for 10 years. By the time she parted ways with them, the fairytales she told the children had already become popular, with many novels, picture books, and film adaptations, as well as a theme park of just the right scale. Octavia was also invited to the opening ceremony, there to personally choose the most suitable outfits for the young men and women playing the leading roles...

Mystic Forest

While touring the 712th world, the Paradise Planet, Octavia encountered a phenomenon known as the "devaluation of happiness": that is, constant exposure to pleasure and entertainment gradually raises one's threshold for happiness. As such, a suitable amount of tranquility is necessary for both guests and the planet itself. As such, Octavia designed a serene "forest" with the rainforests of Sumeru in Teyvat in mind — a place where people can slowly relax through a leisurely journey of exploration.

Noble Grace

Among the countless figures passing through her 712th world, the Paradise Planet, Octavia found her attention drawn not only to the planet's quick-thinking — if occasionally eccentric — governor, nor to the painter whose imagination seemed boundless, but also to two travel butlers whose presence struck a rare balance between discipline and ease. In their hands, each journey was planned with clocklike precision. Every movement was measured, every moment accounted for, yet never at the cost of flexibility. When circumstances shifted, they adjusted without pause, reshaping plans as naturally as turning a page. And despite such meticulous rigor, their manner remained gentle and composed, guiding guests through each attraction in relaxed comfort, so that every experience unfolded smoothly, with not a second lost. It was this philosophy that resonated deeply with Octavia. [...]

Scarlet Shade

Octavia discovered a Paradise Planet quite by accident while going to her 712th world. Every city in this world was a holiday haven with a unique theme. Once employed as a consultant, she would tell the people tales of distant Teyvat, and the people of the Paradise Planet would make special modifications to their pre-existing ninja city based on the Inazuman stories she told...

Sleek Sprint

Don't mistake pleasure for fragility. On the "Paradise Planet" (Planet 712) and the "Healing Planet" (Planet 722), order is upheld by an armed force dedicated to purging any troublemakers. Having spent years robbing the rich to help the poor across the planet, this band of reformed mercenaries has finally settled down, serving as the permanent guardians of these two "Utopias." Of their ranks, the two youngest and most elite marksmen often conduct "low-profile" patrols, blending into the crowd so as not to disturb the tourists. As they brushed past Octavia, she sensed the hidden secrets beneath their oversized coats and invited them for a drink and a friendly chat.

Steamwave Chronicles

While serving as an aesthetic consultant on the 712th world, the Paradise Planet, Octavia was presented with a difficult question by the innovative governor — what should the main visual style of a theme park that wanted to appear solemn, elegant, mysterious, and opulent all at once be? Octavia's answer contained many elements derived from Fontaine in Teyvat and from local historical "technical aesthetics," which proved incredibly popular. The main characters of this "Steamwave Chronicles" theme park were a young man and woman dressed as engineers.

Wicked Warlock

Following the completion of several Teyvat-style theme parks on the 712th planet, operators began organizing a global 'Super Tour' to bridge the journeys between the various parks. In search of a villain for the tour, Octavia's mind went straight to the Abyss Mages — creatures she had disliked since her first days in Teyvat. Back then, Octavia had mistaken a wondering Abyss Mage for a wild animal and offered it a feast, only to be met with a dual response of searing flames and biting frost. In fact, during the scriptwriting for the tour, Octavia insisted as the aesthetic consultant that the 'Wicked Warlock' be played as textbook villains. All she wanted was to make it crystal clear: Don't ever underestimate an Abyss Mage.

722. Healing Planet / Sanctuary of Recovery

Cheerful Playmate

The "Healing Planet" (Planet 722) features more than just medical facilities for physical rejuvenation, it is also home to numerous "Pet Paradises" designed to boost mental well-being. Among them, Octavia was particularly impressed by a dog-themed amusement park where the staff sported charming puppy costumes. Upon returning to her spaceship, she recreated their signature outfits from memory.

Comedy Performance

The 722nd planet, the "Sanctuary of Recovery," is not only renowned for its medical expertise but also places great emphasis on the psychological care of its patients. To this end, the governor specifically invited a famous comedy duo from the 712th planet, the "Elysium Star," to brighten their lives. However, the duo's first appearance caused a degree of panic among some of the patients. After all, such sudden and unusual "Special Care" could easily lead to various speculations. But thanks to their masterful performance, they quickly redirected the patients' attention back to the stage, leaving extremely joyful memories in the "retirement life" of "Octavia"...

Healing Heart

For some highly advanced civilizations, medical care has become an extremely important industry. After Octavia was accidentally struck by a high-speed comet, she followed the recommendations of the residents of the 712th "Elysium Star," she made several transfers before arriving at the 722nd planet, the "Sanctuary of Recovery." Here, the civilization's finest doctors and nurses can treat various common, and even peculiarly shaped and fundamentally different forms of life. Octavia experienced what she calls "retirement life" here for a while, her wounds soon healed, and she was cared for with kindness and patience by two young medical practitioners who left a deep impression on her. Before departing, they even took a commemorative photo together...

777. ??? [wizard planet]

Candlelit Revelry

The first friends Octavia made on the 777th world were two highly gifted and hospitable high-level professors of magic. During classes, they proved skilled at extracting the essentials from obscure esoterica. And in their daily lives — and especially at the festival known to later generations as the Candlelit Revelry — they would be like carefree young men and women, joining the students in fun but moderate pranks, even leading them in begging for candies from other teachers. [...]

Phantom Night

This special outfit comes from the 777th world that Octavia visited, a land of quietude and mystery upon which all civilization was built upon a foundation of standardized spellwork, where nothing can truly escape the grasp of "magic." A young mage who dons the Phantom Night set will light the most critical lantern to be lit on a festival night, and then read a formal (but not dull) opening speech to raise the curtain on the festivities.

Rose's Lament

In this world, the 777th chronicled by Octavia, the magic that all things rely upon cannot seem to leave the atmosphere, thus binding the wizards, witches, and their wondrous creations to gravity's well. Yet the threat from deep space continued to grow, and so the young scholars wearing the Rose's Lament set undertook a bold experiment: imbuing magic into meteorite dust and doing all they could to send it back into orbit...

Sonic Ruins

The 777th world that Octavia chronicled once fell briefly into chaos due to calamitous meteorite showers. Once the crisis had been properly handled and the relevant organizations had completed a set of perfect precautionary measures, they then had "opera mages," who used magic to create light effects, sounds, and visual tricks, to take the stage, perform, and soothe the people. The alternative opera group, Sonic Ruins, was a luminary leader amongst these mages...

921. ??? [tranquil planet]

Letter's Afterglow

[...] On tranquil Planet No. 921, Octavia became acquainted with two scribes who valued both literary grace and integrity. She recorded the outfits they wore at work, though these outfits were originally a subdued grey and black. Earlier, when Paimon first caught sight of the outfits, she remarked, "They look just like Sir Arthur's clothes! So elegant!" To her surprise, the Wonderlands seemed to respond to Paimon's remark. By the time the outfit was finally obtained, it had also taken on Sir Arthur's signature deep crimson...

1217. ??? [discovery planet]

Boundless Resolve

Among the endless reaches of the universe, some worlds hum with extraordinary, mystical powers, while others remain untouched and ordinary. The 1217th planet, visited by Octavia, was one such unremarkable world, a place where humans were born without the gift of flight. However, it was precisely this invisible restraint that kindled their boundless desire to soar. Their flying machines were crude and offered scant protection, but still, they pursued the skies with unwavering resolve. As they would say, "Once you've experienced flight, your eyes will always turn skyward. Having touched its vastness, you'll carry a lasting longing for that freedom."

Galaxy Wanderer

While observing the 1217th planet, Octavia discovered that due to the lack of extraordinary powers and space technology, its inhabitants' understanding of the universe and the microscopic world was based largely on limited observational data and mathematical deductions. Nevertheless, their insights, though abstract, were nothing short of profound, and the most accomplished among their astronomers were capable of predicting cosmic anomalies through mathematical calculations. However, as an extraterrestrial observer, Octavia provided no path forward. Just as the precept, passed down through generations of sages clad in star-patterned robes, goes: "Truth itself is easy to understand; the key lies in the process of discovery."

Owl Envoy

In her pursuit of starkly different scenery, Octavia would sometimes shift her activity to the night to circumvent the crowds. This allowed her to encounter a mysterious profession on the 1217th planet: the Owl Envoy. The owl envoys held an enigmatic occupation and used the image of a small, agile owl as their emblem. They operated only during dusk and night, traversing all kinds of rugged terrain with ease thanks to their extraordinary agility and silent movements, facing potential dangers with formidable strength. In a world without supernatural elements or advanced technology, their aura of mystery and power led Octavia to associate them with the messengers of Natlan. Furthermore, she couldn't help but wonder if they might also be a covert paramilitary force. [...]

1896. ??? [greek planet]

Cloud Edge's Glory

When Octavia's journey reached the 1896th planet, the local civilization was still in the classical era of city-states featuring the use of bronze tools. The city-states were constantly at war with each other and had long been mired in conflict. The arrival of enemies from the Abyss further exacerbated the distrust and division among the city-states. To end this chaos, they decided to hold sacred tournaments during ceremonies honoring their heroes, with the one who obtained the most crowns becoming the leader of all city-states, responsible for quelling internal strife and repelling external enemies. Upholding the tradition of respecting all the mighty warriors, Octavia, who had descended upon this world, was invited by the city-states to participate in this tournament. As a witch capable of traveling among the stars, she won every competition she entered without question. [...]

The real Celestia is inside of the Abyssal Moon

The Trompe-l'œil of Phanes

>Rumor has it that people who've ascended to Celestia have also witnessed the same helix-shaped divine ladder that can be seen within Visions. Venturing out into the universe and down into the abyss are the same in that both are braving the dark unknown.

>Trompe-l'œil (French for 'deceive the eye'; /trɒmpˈlɔɪ/ tromp-LOY; French: [tʁɔ̃p lœj]) is an artistic technique that creates a highly realistic optical illusion of three-dimensional space and objects on a two-dimensional surface. Trompe-l'œil, which is most often associated with painting, tricks the viewer into perceiving painted objects or spaces as real.

Nicole looks up at the ghostly Celestia. The shot of her eye is contrasted with the "sun" or "eye" of Phanes, which is a Trompe-l'œil artwork.

What is the teaser trying to tell us?

That our eyes are being deceived.

The Power of the Abyssal Moon

What does the Abyssal Moon have the power to do?

It has the power to reset time cyclically.

>The Abyssal Moon Spire will reset itself every month, with a new Lunar Phase occurring on the sixteenth day.

What else in Genshin is associated with the number sixteen?

The world-formula. It has sixteen nodes.

>As you can see, it is a magick set in motion by the three particles above the "Kingdom."

>Yet, its metaphysical origin lies in the emanations of the four particles beneath the "Firmament."

In Chinese, the Moment of Syzygy is the Moment of the New Moon.

Columbina's rise was planned by Phanes. Even after her ascension, she is still bound by the strings of fate.

We had an event in version 6.4, Luna V, immediately after the rise of the New Moon. And how does it start? Back on the beach with Paimon.

In the Temple of Space, when we get sent to the Apathic Interval ("Hell"), where do we end up? Back on the beach with Paimon.

Alice was making fun of us because she knows we're on the verge of the world being reset.

That's why she and the Hexenzirkel are preparing bubble worlds, to preserve whatever they can.

>Though there is no meaning in this world within an eggshell,

>The "fortune" we speak of is not some false metaphor,

>In 14 billion "years" of darkness,

>It is the sum of all that is destined to happen and all that never will.

>Partings, encounters, and partings once more,

>Birth, destruction, and birth yet again,

>In the darkness of 93 billion "years" of light,

>All existence holds meaning unknown to any,

>Without which this universe would seem too solitary.

The Inverse Operation of the Abyss

The Abyss is made up of fates that were not chosen in Teyvat.

They are mirror worlds.

EDIT: Explaining this point a little better:

  1. If Teyvat repeatedly "chooses" (or is forced to choose) extinction events as its fate, over and over and over again, then the only fate left possible in its Abyssal mirror is a perfect world where nothing bad ever happens.
  2. The Abyssal Moon "eggshell" is intended to be the future Teyvat, the one with a happy ending, once the Teyvat in the material universe has suffered enough times.
  3. This recursion of fate is like the wheel of samsara, karma, and nirvana.
  4. In Buddhism, worlds protected from bad karma are called a "Pure World," which are sustained by a Buddha.
  5. A famous proponent of this "Pure World" theory was the Japanese Monk named "Genshin."

If Phanes destroys Teyvat enough times, it will be impossible for the world inside of the Abyssal Moon to experience negative fate. It will be a perfect utopia.

>Alone in his estate, Ike sat, nursing a glass of apple juice. A knock came from Princess Andro-Basilisks.

>[...]

>The Princess swirled her glass. "In all these broken shards of time, is there really no ending meant for me?"

>"Would you truly reach across the branches of possibility to steal joy from the other versions of yourself?"

Vera's Melancholy references The Gods Themselves and The Beast That Shouted Love at the Heart of the World.

Both stories are about exploiting a mirror world.

The Gods Themselves is more so about arbitrage, both worlds exploiting opposing rules of physics to mutual benefit (and mutual destruction), while The Beast That Shouted Love is about the world in the center of time and space dumping its negative possibilities onto every other world in order to achieve perfection in its own protected heaven.

>Oh, is this apple for me? Haha, that won't do, come share this apple with me.

>Split it open like this...and you will feel the breeze from the apple core.

>In some fairy tales, it is written that there is a whole tiny world hidden inside an apple core, and this breeze is a gift from the tiny world.

>Here, this half is for you. Once you're done eating, let's take a stroll in the tiny little world.

>But remember to keep it a secret and don't tell anyone else. That's because... you're the only one I want to bring there.
