After hearing what everyone said, Rosalin felt so embarrassed that she couldn't describe it in words. She just felt her face burning hot and she wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into, or bury herself in a pile of snow and never come out to see anyone again.

However, just when she felt ashamed, something unexpected happened. A huge dragon swirled down from the sky and landed steadily beside everyone. The dragon was blue in color, and its wings flashed with dazzling light. Its appearance surprised everyone.

"Look everyone, that's the dragon that came with Lord Wind God." The knights saw the giant dragon in front of them without any fear, because they knew that this dragon had just been guarding them.

As a sky dragon, Tevarin has rarely had the opportunity to interact with humans, but at this moment, he looked at the group of knights in front of him with curiosity.

Some brave knights finally mustered up the courage, carefully stepped forward and touched Tvarin's hard and smooth scales, and couldn't help feeling amazed.

When Tevarin felt the knights' enthusiasm, he began to flap his wings gently and slowly lowered his body, as if signaling everyone to climb onto his broad back.

"Is this... really possible?" Someone asked hesitantly, not believing his eyes.

"Oh my God! I can't imagine that one day I will be able to ride on the back of a dragon!" Another person's voice trembled with excitement.

Amidst the excited shouts, Tevarin slowly left the ground, spread his wings and flew towards the distant horizon. The knights huddled together, enjoying this rare experience, while overlooking the magnificent Mondstadt and the majestic snow-capped mountains below.

The wind whistled past their ears, and they felt as if they were in a dream.

Qianyu was flying in the air, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly as he looked at the scene in front of him.

Then he turned around and cast his eyes towards a certain place in the woods. Qianyu keenly sensed the breath of Andrius emanating from there, which made his heart tremble violently.

Just as Qianyu was about to go and investigate, the second wave of beasts surged in. Faced with this sudden threat, Qianyu immediately prepared for battle. However, just as he was about to fight, he found that the space around his body seemed to begin to distort. Then, the space seemed to be forcibly torn apart, and a deep crack appeared.

Before he could react, a huge golden beast suddenly jumped out from the crack. It quickly adjusted its posture and then knocked Qianyu into the crack with amazing force.

Everyone watched as the beast tide swept in again, and as Tevarin brought them back to the ground, they raised their weapons again without hesitation, ready for a new round of tough battle.

"Rosaline, go back to Mond first. Don't hesitate. It's too dangerous here." Rustan instructed Rosaline with a serious face.

Rosalin's eyes flashed with worry and reluctance: "But what about you? How can I leave you here alone?"

Rustan tried hard to force a smile, trying to reassure her: "Don't worry, I'll be fine. Believe me, I have enough ability to protect myself." He gently stroked Rosaline's forehead, as if to convey a sense of strength and confidence.

Rosalyn bit her lip, tears welling up in her eyes.

Rustan nodded, his tone firm: "I promise you, I will be fine. When all this is over, I will go to the square to listen to you sing..."

At the same time, Qianyu slowly opened his eyes, and a strong sense of strangeness surged into his heart. He found himself as if in an endless dark abyss. It was pitch black all around, without a trace of light coming in.

"Damn it! Where on earth did that despicable golden beast run off to?" Qian Yu cursed inwardly. He gnashed his teeth in anger when he thought that he had been successfully attacked by the golden beast. This kind of sneak attack from behind was simply shameless!

(Golden King Beast: Frontal Sneak Attack~)

However, when Qianyu tried to find the trace of the golden king beast, he was surprised to find that the surroundings were empty, with nothing but darkness. This strange silence was creepy, as if the whole world had solidified.

"Something's wrong... I seem to have been to this place before..." Qianyu tried hard to recall, but the memories in his mind were like fragments that were difficult to piece together. Despite this, he still felt that this scene was familiar, but he just couldn't remember the specific details for a while.

Just as Qianyu was lost in thought, suddenly, his divine heart flew out of his body without warning, hovering in front of him, emitting a faint and mysterious light.

"Heart of God..." Qian Yu couldn't help but whisper. At this moment, he finally recalled the scene when he came into contact with the Heart of God before, which was exactly the scene in front of him!

He carefully stretched out his hand, trying to touch the Heart of God. The moment his fingertips touched the Heart of God, a powerful force spread throughout his body like an electric current, causing him to tremble involuntarily.

At the same time, a dazzling light suddenly burst out from the Heart of God, followed by an extremely familiar voice echoing in Qianyu's ears.

"Diakarapian, long time no see."

This sentence was like a bolt from the blue, shocking Qian Yu again, because this voice was exactly the same as his own!

He couldn't help rubbing his ears, wondering if he was hallucinating.

However, the voice lingered in his mind like a devil's voice, and it lasted for a long time. Qianyu felt his head buzzing and confused.

CPU: A fire burning my heart...

"Who are you? Why are you speaking in my voice?" Qianyu frowned, his heart full of doubt and uneasiness. He began to doubt his identity deeply, and he didn't even know who he was.

This feeling was like being trapped in an endless mystery, making him feel unprecedentedly confused and helpless. He tried to calm down and think about what was happening, but the thoughts in his mind were like a tangled mess, becoming more and more chaotic.

"Hahaha, okay, I won't tease you anymore." Along with a silver bell-like laughter, the figure of Time Ruler Istaru gradually became clear in Qianyu's eyes.

"Istaru!" Qianyu widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief. He could never have imagined that he would see her here.

“Don’t be anxious, Qianyu.” Istaru looked at Qianyu gently and said softly, “I know your heart is full of doubts, such as what exactly is this Heart of God, where exactly is this space, and why am I here…”

Qianyu listened to Istaru's words, with a thoughtful look on his face, and kept nodding his head to show his agreement. He felt that what Istaru said made a lot of sense, as if every word touched his heart.

However, at this moment, Qianyu suddenly noticed something strange. He frowned, widened his eyes, looked at Istaru with a puzzled look, and asked, "Wait, how do you know my name is Qianyu?! I have never mentioned my name to you from beginning to end!"

Istaru seemed to have expected this. She smiled slightly and replied in a joking tone, "Of course I know. And not only me, but many other people know it too."

Qian Yu became more and more confused. He was completely confused. He couldn't help but ask curiously: "Who are the 'others' you are talking about?"

Istar smiled mysteriously, and then explained calmly: "Let me tell you, I am not the Istar in this timeline, the me you are familiar with. My true identity is from a more distant future. And this Heart of God was entrusted to me by the future you, and asked me to pass it on to you at this moment."

"And who are the others? Hehe, keep it a secret~" Istaru playfully made a hushing gesture.

Qianyu was stunned by Istaru's words. He couldn't believe what he heard. His mind was in a mess, trying to understand the complicated timeline and cause and effect.

But then I thought, the other party is in control of time after all, so even if it is hard to understand, I will just have to put up with it.

Istaru continued, "I was also present in this timeline when I was on Sky Island. If I show up directly, I'm afraid it will cause chaos in the timeline. So I didn't dare to show up easily."

"With the help of the power of the Heart of God, I faked the illusion that it was born from the wind of heaven and earth, and successfully delivered it to you." Istaru's voice echoed throughout the space.

"It seems that on this timeline, the abyss has taken advantage of the cracks and is about to completely descend upon the continent of Teyvat. You don't have much time left, Deikarapian." Istaru suddenly said with a serious face, then she turned around and looked at Qianyu.

"You in the future once told me that this Heart of God contains a powerful force that is enough to counter the abyss. However, at the same time, its loss will be extremely huge..." Istaru's voice was filled with helplessness and regret.

Qianyu listened quietly, his eyes always fixed on Istaru without the slightest fluctuation.

He understood the importance of the Heart of God and the price to pay for using it, but at this moment, he felt more confused and uncertain about the future.

"Finally, your future self asked me to ask you, if the price of saving the world is everything you have, would you still risk your life?"

After a long silence, Qianyu finally spoke: "But I have no choice, right?" His voice was calm and firm, as if he had already put life and death aside and had only one belief in his heart - to protect this world.

Even though it may seem meaningless to others.

"No matter what, I must stop the abyss from coming."

Hearing Qianyu's words, Istar smiled slightly, with a hint of appreciation and relief in her eyes. "You are still the same, Dekarapian." She said softly, with a bit of emotion in her voice. Istar's beautiful eyes flickered, revealing a complex emotion, and then her figure slowly became transparent.

"Well, it looks like my power for traveling through time is almost exhausted." She sighed softly, with a hint of reluctance in her tone.

Then, she looked at Qianyu, this brave and fearless boy, with some nostalgia. In her eyes, Qianyu was like a bright star, shining brightly.

Qianyu felt Istaru's gaze and smiled back. Although his heart was filled with sadness of parting, he knew that they had a common mission and this separation was only temporary.

As Istaru's figure completely disappeared, the surrounding space began to distort again.

"Goodbye, Qianyu, I'll wait for you in the future." Then the space became silent again, as if nothing had happened.

Qianyu grabbed the Heart of God floating in the air, and light instantly appeared around them.

"Well, see you in the future."
