Story Description: (WiseWise /
- It's been a while since Senior Shunguang left...
- (SiblingSibling): By the way, (WiseWise /
BelleBelle)... about that Senior Shunguang who dropped by suddenly last time, did you ever tell her about those illusions we saw of Senior Ye? 
: Not yet...- : Only had time for a quick hello...
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Not yet... (We barely had time to say hiWe barely had time to say hi /
I only managed to say "hi"I only managed to say "hi") before she rushed off in a hurry. (She also made me promise not to tell Shifu about it... Must be some kind of "secret mission"...She also made me promise not to tell Shifu about it... Must be some kind of "secret mission"... / She made me promise not to tell Shifu about it... Probably some kind of "secret mission," huh?She made me promise not to tell Shifu about it... Probably some kind of "secret mission," huh?) - (ProtagonistProtagonist): Besides, what we saw were just illusions... I don't think we should tell her when we only saw fragments of the full story.
- (SiblingSibling): Hm, makes sense. Speaking of which— Fairy, what's the status of that location we tagged with the periodic Ether fluctuations?
- Fairy: The spatial fissure has stabilized to a traversable state. Connected area: old mining site. Recommendation: proceed with investigation within the current stability window.
- : Sarah and Senior Ye both went there...
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Sarah used Yidhari's ability to determine the direction she and Senior Ye both went.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Looks like we'll need to investigate that old mining site soon. We can tell Senior Shunguang once we get more info.
- (SiblingSibling): Yeah... Shifu might have made arrangements already. Senior Ye... I hope he's doing alright...
"Omniscient"

OmniscientVideo Summary: Buried deep within your nightmares... is the wish you're most afraid to face.
Story Description: On the evening of Isolde's death, Sarah reveals that the Creator had seen through Ye Shiyuan's fear and the power he had been hiding all along.
- However, on that fateful evening when the Exaltist overseer Mevorakh met her end, a storm intertwining with the fates of the Ye siblings was already brewing in the depths of the Lemnian Hollow...
- "Does the Creator... actually exist?"
- "Isn't what you see right in front of you the best proof?"
- "The Creator knew your nightmares, knew your fears..."
- "They even know... that side of you that you've been so carefully hiding."
"Why keep running from who you really are?" - "...?!"
- "The Creator has never been stingy with rewards for mortals who help fulfill Their grand purpose..."
The Wish Behind the Nightmare
The following is recorded in the Video Archive
The Wish Behind the NightmareVideo Summary: Buried deep within your nightmares... is the wish you're most afraid to face.
- Sarah: Your dearest "wish"
- Sarah: Will be fulfilled by Them alone
- Ye Shiyuan: My... wish...
- Sarah: Yes...
- Sarah: Buried deep within your nightmares...
- Sarah: The thing you fear most...
- Ye Shiyuan: ...No...
- Ye Shiyuan: No...
- Sarah: The very thing you'd stop...
- Sarah: No matter what it cost...
- Ye Shunguang: No...
- Sarah: ...The one with the most terrifying consequences...
- Ye Shiyuan: No...
- Ye Shunguang: Bro... ther...
- Ye Shiyuan: No—!!!!!
- Sarah: Your wish...
- Sarah: Is to stop this scene from ever becoming reality
- Sarah: And the authority granted to me by the Creator...
- Sarah: Can momentarily reduce
- Sarah: Those fears of yours to nothing
- Sarah: I've merely tempered the onslaught of those nightmares
- Sarah: If you want to sever the connection between your sister and that sword
- Sarah: Then the Creator is the only hope for you
- Ye Shunguang: Xiao'Guang...
- Everything that happened within the Hollow remains shrouded in mist.
And for now, Suibian Temple is still bathed in a tranquil, peaceful everyday calm...
- (SiblingSibling): Perfect timing, (Wise!Wise! /
BelleBelle) Everyone from the temple went out with Belion today to help the neighbors, so it's just us left at Suibian Temple. - (SiblingSibling): I was gonna ask you to help tidy up the guest room. Next time when Senior Shunguang comes by, we can ask if she'd like to stay over.
- Just then, some pretty lively... laughter and chatter comes from the outer courtyard?
- (SiblingSibling): Is everyone back already? That was quick... Should we go check it out?
: (Go out and see what's happening)- : (Check it out later)
- (Talking with (SiblingSibling) again repeats dialogue)
- (Get closer to Ye Shunguang)
- Friendly Old Man: Whoa, even my wife doesn't know about my secret stash. How'd you figure that out?
- Eager Student: "Though there may be ups and downs, wishes come true in the end"... That's basically saying I'll scrape by on my exams!
"Acting Temple Master"
The following is recorded in the Video Archive
Acting Temple MasterVideo Summary: The adventure at the foot of the mountain... begins with concealing the identity?
Story Description: Ye Shunguang thinks the Suibian Temple is unguarded, so she, posing as the Acting Temple Master, brings Bolion along to do readings for visitors.
- You see that light brown hair and pretty red ribbon again...
- Ye Shunguang: Hmm~ All things in this mortal world are bound by fate. Patience, patience... let me peer into the secrets of heaven...
- Worried Granny: Please help me out, young master! My rooster with the pretty tail's been gone three days already. Could you divine whether a "Yellow Weasel Spirit" might've taken him?
- Ye Shunguang: Hmm... this is the symbol of Xun as Wind... uh... Xun stands for the rooster, and also means "to enter"—
- : (When did Senior Shunguang get here...?)
- : (She sounds kinda like Yixuan Shifu...)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (When did Senior Shunguang arrive? That tone... it kind of reminds me of Yixuan Shifu? Is she... divining for people?)
- Ye Shunguang: Don't worry, Ma'am! Your rooster's perfectly fine. Judging from the hexagram, he's simply chasing after his "destiny" and "freedom" out in the vast world beyond!
- Worried Granny: Ah, is... is that so? But... But he's already quite old...
- Ye Shunguang: Huh?
- Friendly Old Man: Now don't you worry, the young master here knows her stuff! Don't let that young face fool you. She's got real skills!
- Friendly Old Man: Why, just the other day, a delivery truck from Good Goods came rattlin' down the road, and the back door flew clean open! Whole load of cargo was about to spill out and hit someone — then this little shifu strolls by, gives a wave, and whoosh! Everything pops right back in!
- Friendly Old Man: Back then, nobody even knew she was Suibian Temple's Acting Temple Master! Folks were just sayin' her moves had that same flair as Yixuan Shifu's!
- Ye Shunguang: Just lending a hand. I'm just glad no one got hurt... That's all that matters.
- Clueless Kid: Miss, Miss! My kite string broke, and it flew sooo far away! It's gone! Will it ever come back on its own?
- Ye Shunguang: Well... Look here, little one. The fortune slip says, "When lofty trees meet the wind, a single thread of fate is quietly woven." Your kite didn't just fly away, it helped connect your wish to the stars above.
- Ye Shunguang: When you grow up, and you're as tall as those trees outside, you'll be able to reach up and catch both your kite and your wish again~
- : (Greet your Senior)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Senior...? What are you up to right now?
- : The once-chatty "Acting Temple Master" freezes at the sound, a flicker of caught-red-handed embarrassment flashing in her eyes.
- Ye Shunguang: Eh, Junior? Oh, you were here... Ha-haha...
- Ye Shunguang: Today... the weather is (fine and clearfine and clear /
nicenice) today... ahem, um... what I mean is — Junior, you're here. When divining, solemnity comes first, so you should address me as "Acting Temple Master," got it? - : Acting Temple Master!
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): The Acting Temple Master speaks the absolute truth!
- Ye Shunguang: Hmm... yes! Everyone, my junior is here to remind us that today's auspicious hour has passed. The heavenly signs have dimmed — it's no longer suitable to divine further.
- Ye Shunguang: That's all for today, everyone. Should any troubles arise, you're always welcome to visit Suibian Temple.
- Ye Shunguang: Junior, there's something important I need to tell you. Come with me for a moment.
- Trying to keep her cool, Senior walks off to the side, mysteriously beckoning for you to hurry up and follow her.
- (Talk to Ye Shunguang)
"New Resident at Suibian Temple"

New Resident at Suibian TempleVideo Summary: The adventure at the foot of the mountain... begins with concealing the identity?
Story Description: Ye Shunguang wants to sneak down the mountain for fun and asks (WiseWise /
- Ye Shunguang: *phew*... That was close! Almost blew our cover there - thanks for playing along! Looks like Bolion's intel still needs some work!
- : "Acting Temple Master"...?
- : Bolion...?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Senior Shunguang, about that "Acting Temple Master" title... And that Bangboo backing you up... That's Bolion, right? The one who secretly snuck down from Yunkui Summit to train at Failume Heights?
- Ye Shunguang: Heh... We thought Suibian Temple was unattended today. Since Shifu and Senior Fufu aren't around either, if someone comes for a divination, I'm the most senior disciple here now, so... I just "took over" for a bit, you know!
- Ye Shunguang: The other day, I was hanging around Waifei Peninsula when I ran into little Bolion. We both nearly jumped out of our skins, thinking the other had been sent to drag us back to Yunkui Summit!
- : So you also snuck down the mountain, Senior?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Last time we met was so brief that we didn't really get to chat properly. Why did you "sneak" down the mountain, Senior?
- Ye Shunguang: Well... for... certain reasons, I'm not exactly allowed to leave Yunkui Summit as I please... Shifu had me in seclusion training for aaages... It was so boring I could scream!
- Ye Shunguang: Just after I came out of seclusion, I heard Shifu had to head into the city for something important. My brother and Senior Fufu probably went with him too, right? Talk about perfect timing!
- : (Her brother... She means Senior Ye, right?)
- : (Senior Ye's situation...)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Senior Shunguang's brother... That must be Senior Ye. Sounds like she still doesn't know what happened. Telling her now would only ruin her mood — I'll find a better time later.)
- Ye Shunguang: These days, little Bolion and I have been traveling around Waifei, doing our part to fight evil and help those in need. Oh, and we've heard tons of stories about Shifu and your past adventures!
- Ye Shunguang: Stuff like foiling the Exaltists' conspiracy, resolving crises in the Hollows... Just hearing it all got my blood pumping!
- Ye Shunguang: But then... my grand adventure hit a teeny-tiny problem — ahem... I kinda ran out of "adventure funds." I left in such a rush and didn't bring enough with me...
- Ye Shunguang: Just when Bolion and I were at our wits' end, a figure suddenly zipped into sight like whoosh—
- Ye Shunguang: Hehe... that was you, Junior Belle! You're my lifesaver and the only person I can depend on in Waifei now!
- Ye Shunguang: Please, please! You're the only one I'm close to here. You'll take us in, right? Pretty please?
- : Taking you in...
- : Suibian Temple is also your home.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Take you in? You're making it sound too formal, (Senior.Senior. /
Senior!Senior!) Suibian Temple's a Yunkui Summit outpost. Naturally, it's your home (too.too. / too~too~) If you move in, things will only get (livelier.livelier. / livelier!livelier!) Of course, (we're more than happy to have you here.we're more than happy to have you here. / we'd love to have you here!we'd love to have you here!) - (ProtagonistProtagonist): My (sister Bellesister Belle /
brother Wisebrother Wise) and I both live here, and there are other disciples around too. If you ever need anything, we can always help (out.out. / out~out~) - Ye Shunguang: Perfect! Ah, but now that you mention it... I do have one teeny, tiny, little favor to ask...
- : A tiny favor?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Go ahead and ask away, Senior!
- Ye Shunguang: First... call me "Senior" a few more times! I'm enjoying it!
- : Huh?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Huh...?
- Ye Shunguang: Uh... You don't want to...?
- : Sure, no problem.
- : Senior Shunguang!
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Sure, no problem... Senior Shunguang!
- Ye Shunguang: Yay! Well... I never get tired of hearing "Senior," but... given the situation...
- Ye Shunguang: Just call me Xiao'Guang for now! My brother and Shifu call me that. And... can I just call you by your name?
- Ye Shunguang: Oh, and about who I am... Could you keep it secret from the others for now? It took a lot for me to sneak down here. If word gets out, Shifu will know in no time and have me dragged right back up the mountain!
- : (Yixuan Shifu...)
- : (Will come and get Xiao'Guang?)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Yixuan Shifu's usually so carefree. I didn't expected her to be so protective...)
- : (Promise Xiao'Guang)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): I promise. If anyone asks, I'll just say... you're my friend who admires Yunkui Summit's way of training. They haven't seen you before, so it'll be (fine.fine. /
fine!fine!) - Ye Shunguang: Awesome! You're the best, Junior (WiseWise /
BelleBelle)! It's settled then! Don't worry! While Shifu's away, if anything happens during our adventures, your Senior will protect you with everything she's got! - Ye Shunguang: This is my first time being a Senior! It's so fun and satisfying!
- As Xiao'Guang speaks, you hear a voice calling for help from the door.
You hurry to the door...
"Miner's Help Request"
The following is recorded in the Video Archive
Miner's Help RequestVideo Summary: It's our first time working together, Legendary Proxy, I look forward to it.
Story Description: Someone comes to Suibian Temple seeking help. (WiseWise /
- Old Zao: Young masters, my name is Old Zao. I'm a miner who lives not too far from here. Something's happened over at the old mining site. I ran into some Suibian Temple disciples on my way here, and they told me to find one of Yixuan Shifu's new disciples.
- Ye Shunguang: The old mining site... What happened?
- Old Zao: Some of my fellow workers and one of Banyue Shifu's apprentices are trapped there by the Miasma!
- : Trapped in Miasma...
- : But isn't there a work stoppage order in place?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): What are miners doing there? Isn't Porcelumex under a work stoppage order? As far as I know, the acting manager is definitely supposed to be enforcing that...
- Old Zao: Well, it's... not technically a production zone. The place had been mined out and abandoned — they started shutting it down years ago.
- Old Zao: That shutdown was interrupted by the Miasma disaster a decade back. Hardly any miners or their families made it out alive. They left their equipment behind, and the mine faded from public memory.
- Old Zao: But lately, people have been saying the Miasma's thinned out, almost like an ebbing tide.
- Old Zao: Which got some clueless, promotion-hungry manager thinking it would be a great idea to send a team in and see if they couldn't start things up again.
- Old Zao: A few miners who had survived the disaster wanted to go back and pick up some keepsakes, so they volunteered to join the team...
- Old Zao: And now look at the mess we're in! That apprentice was supposed to be their muscle, but he hasn't made it back either!
- Old Zao: Porcelumex's already managed to rescue a few, but no one knows how long it'll take to get the rest out...
- Old Zao: I couldn't get in touch with Banyue Shifu, and the helpers Porcelumex sent didn't exactly put my mind at ease... so I came to ask for help from you masters at Suibian Temple.
- Ye Shunguang: Don't worry, Mr. Zao! Please, lead the way— I'll go with you right now!
- : I'll go with you too!
- : But I need to get prepared first.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (The old mining site... that's exactly where Sarah and Senior Ye went. Perfect — I can investigate, get some solid leads, then tell Xiao'Guang about it...)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): And me too, Seni— Xiao'Guang. Mister, we've got a few things to discuss and prepare first. Could you share the location with us? We'll head over right after.
- Old Zao: Thank you! Thank you so much! I need to hurry back to help now. I'll be counting on you both!
- After leaving the details, the miner rushes off in a hurry.
- Ye Shunguang: (WiseWise /
BelleBelle)... you looked like you wanted to say something earlier? Saving a few people trapped in the Hollow is a piece of cake for me. Trust me, I can handle it alone. You stay here and keep Suibian Temple safe — I'll be quick, in and out, promise! - : I couldn't bring it up earlier.
- : There are things I need to discuss with you privately.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (I couldn't say this earlier. Since you've been in seclusion all this time, I doubt Shifu and the others had time to tell you...I couldn't say this earlier. Since you've been in seclusion all this time, I doubt Shifu and the others had time to tell you... /
I couldn't say it back there, but you've been in seclusion all this time, so I guess Shifu and the others haven't had a chance to tell you...I couldn't say it back there, but you've been in seclusion all this time, so I guess Shifu and the others haven't had a chance to tell you...) - (ProtagonistProtagonist): The truth is, before we came to Waifei Peninsula, we didn't just run a video store. My (sistersister /
brotherbrother) and I have another job... - (ProtagonistProtagonist): We also take on commissions as Proxies.
- Ye Shunguang: Proxies! So that's your specialty. No wonder Shifu, who rarely takes on disciples, made an exception for you two! That means... we could actually...
- : Yes, we could go save those people.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Yep! We could head into the Hollow to save those people. You looked really worried just now. We just gotta let (my brothermy brother /
BelleBelle) know about the situation first. - Ye Shunguang: Yeah... helping those in danger is part of what it means to be a disciple of Yunkui Summit. Besides...
- Ye Shunguang: My brother and I actually go way back with Banyue Shifu. It's been years since we last spoke, but he really looked after us before...
- Ye Shunguang: If his apprentice is in trouble, I can't just stand by and do nothing.
- : So you know Banyue Shifu, too!
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): So you know Banyue Shifu too? He's helped us out a lot before... Let me try to contact him now.
- You try to reach Banyue Shifu, but there's no reply... So you decide to tell (BelleBelle /
WiseWise) about the situation first.
- (Talk to (SiblingSibling)
"First Partnership"
The following is recorded in the Video Archive
First PartnershipVideo Summary: It's our first time working together, Legendary Proxy, I look forward to it.
Story Description: After informing Fairy and (BelleBelle /
- Fairy: Master, Banyue is currently inside Lemnian Hollow and cannot be reached at this time.
- : If he's in the Hollow...
- : He probably already knows about the situation...
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Fairy says Banyue Shifu is in the Hollow... Maybe he already knows about the trapped miners and his apprentice.
- Ye Shunguang: Sorry, may I ask who Fairy is...?
- Fairy: I am Fairy - a type III general-purpose AI equipped with total sequential integration. I am also Master's Supreme Assistant, the most versatile companion for Hollow navigation, data processing, and life management. Last but not least... when Master makes questionable decisions, I offer a modest spark of wisdom to keep things on track.
- Fairy: Hello, Miss Ye Shunguang. I have forwarded your lifestyle preference analysis report to Second Assistant — that is, the Master's rather clumsy (sistersister /
brotherbrother) — as an important reference for arranging your guest room. - (SiblingSibling): Hey...
- Fairy: Miss Xiao'Guang, if you're curious about Master's little secrets, such as how many snacks they've been secretly hoarding, whether they talk in their sleep, or which hand they squeeze first when they get nervous...
- Fairy: I can also provide you with a report of equal depth. After reading it, you'll understand Master about 89.75% as well as I do—
- : (Interrupt Fairy)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Fairy— Um... maybe we should talk about that later!
- Ye Shunguang: Pfft... Thank you, Fairy, but I think I'll try getting to know (WiseWise /
BelleBelle) on my own! It's more fun to discover things little by little. I'll leave the Hollow rescue and the guest room arrangements in your capable hands. - Fairy: Understood, Miss Xiao'Guang. I respect your spirit of discovery, and I look forward to building a peaceful life at Suibian Temple with you.
- (SiblingSibling): I guess Fairy can be considerate once in a blue moon... Alright, back to the matter at hand.
- (SiblingSibling): (WiseWise /
BelleBelle), you and Xiao'Guang should head back first and get ready to go into the Hollow. I'll set up the HDD to support you. - : Leave it to us.
- : Our first team-up begins now!
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Alright. (Phaethon and Xiao'Guang's first mission begins now.Phaethon and Xiao'Guang's first mission begins now. /
The first team-up between Phaethon and Xiao'Guang begins now!The first team-up between Phaethon and Xiao'Guang begins now!) - Ye Shunguang: Phaethon? Wow, so you're the legendary Proxy I heard talking about a few days ago!
- Ye Shunguang: Uh... Sorry sorry, saving people comes first... We gotta focus on what's important...
- (SiblingSibling): Fairy has a preliminary grasp of the situation there. Some people from Porcelumex have been rescued, but their manager, (a minera miner /
one of the minersone of the miners), and Banyue Shifu's disciple are still missing. - (SiblingSibling): (WiseWise /
BelleBelle), Xiao'Guang, Eous is ready. (You wanna start the Hollow rescue now?You wanna start the Hollow rescue now? / Do you want to start the Hollow rescue now?Do you want to start the Hollow rescue now?) 
: Let's go.- : Still need a moment to get ready.
- (Talking with (SiblingSibling) again repeats dialogue)
