In the world of Teyvat, when people receive the recognition of the gods, they obtain a Vision an elemental magical organ used to guide elemental power.
A masterless Vision is the empty shell left behind after its user passes away. It contains no elemental power, and there is no known method to reawaken it; there is only a tiny chance that it will resonate with a new person.
Kaedehara Kazuha did not hold much hope. Reawakening a masterless Vision required not only luck but also the favor of the gods.
However, the moment that Vision fell into Ye Xi's hand, it immediately burst with a brilliant purple light! It was as if it had reclaimed the power it had lost long ago!
The Vision had been activated! This was the elemental power of Electro!
Witnessing this, everyone was struck with disbelief.
"It lit up! it actually lit up!"
"My god, he just obtained a Vision like that?"
"This is way too easy!"
"The same power as our Big Sister!"
"..."
The surrounding crew members looked on with eyes full of envy. Obtaining a Vision was a dream for countless people, yet no one could explain how they were born. They appeared out of thin air, leaving those who yearned for recognition but were deemed unworthy with no path forward.
Even when Beidou obtained her Vision years ago, it was only after she defeated the great sea beast Haishan that she earned her recognition. Therefore, seeing Ye Xi activate a Vision so effortlessly, how could they not be envious?
Xiangling was also stunned. She never expected that activating a Vision would be so simple for Ye Xi.
Beidou sighed in admiration. "As expected of the Raiden Shogun's confidant. As soon as you had a desire, the Raiden Shogun responded to your call."
Because of Ye Xi's extraordinary relationship with Inazuma, Beidou took it for granted that he received divine favor immediately because of his special connection with the Raiden Shogun. It was just like Ningguang; she had picked up a masterless Vision on a beach, and soon after, she received the recognition of Rex Lapis.
This made Beidou start to question her own life. Why was it that the friends around her obtained Visions so effortlessly while she had to battle a sea monster for days on end?
Kaedehara Kazuha was overcome with emotion. "Ever since Inazuma implemented the Vision Hunt Decree, no one in the world has been able to receive the Raiden Shogun's favor," he said. "I imagine this Vision is likely the only one with Electro power to appear since the decree began..."
He then let out a melancholy sigh. "My friend was merely a warrior obsessed with the blade. Facing that Musou no Hitotachi was his life's ultimate ambition. I suppose that even without the Vision Hunt Decree, he still would have initiated a Duel Before the Throne..."
As he spoke, the Vision seemed to sense the story Kazuha was telling and began to vibrate slightly. As if the last shred of will was beginning to dissipate, an ethereal voice drifted out.
"There will always be those who dare to brave the lightning's glow."
"Is that the pinnacle of the Raiden Shogun's martial arts..."
"Truly, it is not a power that mortals can hope to reach."
The voice slowly faded away into the melodic sea breeze. Tiny specks of light, like the soul of the departed, drifted up into the sky.
Tears welled up in Kaedehara Kazuha's eyes, and he immediately bowed to Ye Xi in thanks. "Thank you, Ye Xi. You have allowed my friend to release his final obsession. Now, he can finally leave in peace. In the future, if you ever need help, I, Kaedehara Kazuha, will do everything in my power to assist you. As for this Vision, please, you must keep it!"
Ye Xi had intended to refuse. A Vision held no real meaning for him. Even without one, he could use elemental power just the same. To him, this Vision was more of a burden than the coveted treasure others saw it as.
But before he could speak, an ethereal voice rang in his ear.
[Hidden Quest: "Obtain a Vision" has been completed.]
[Reward: 800 Primogems.]
[Vision: Every owner of a Vision is a candidate with the potential to ascend to godhood.]
[Rewards are being distributed, please check...]
Receiving this news was an unexpected delight for Ye Xi! A reward of 800 Primogems meant that in just four days, he could perform another Wish!
Beyond that, he gained two crucial pieces of information. First, owning a Vision meant having the qualification to become a god. As a former project lead for character design at The Company, he had heard rumors of this, but activating the quest now hinted at the possibility of becoming one of The Seven.
Second, what would happen if he obtained a Gnosis?
He was eager to verify these two points. He nodded and replied, "Then, I shall accept your kindness, Brother Kazuha. I will take this Vision."
Kaedehara Kazuha looked at him with gratitude.
Beidou, standing to the side, asked curiously, "Ye Xi, can't you use multiple elements? Will you be unable to use your other powers now that you have an Electro attribute?"
Beidou's words reminded Ye Xi, and he immediately tried to contact his other elemental strengths.
Then, something happened that left everyone jaw-dropped once again!
The purple light that had just been blooming from the Vision suddenly extinguished, replaced by a crimson flame. The interior of the Vision shimmered with vibrant colors, looking like flowing magma!
In the darkness of the night, it was exceptionally dazzling! Even the light from the torches couldn't compare to it.
"This... this is Pyro power!"
"Good heavens, how is this possible? I've never heard of a Vision being able to change attributes!"
"He actually received the favor of the Pyro Archon? And so easily!"
The sailors on the ship heard the commotion and crowded around to watch. It was as if they were witnessing a miracle! Never in history had anyone received the favor of two gods simultaneously!
Ye Xi also felt that he was being a bit too high-profile. Since he could use Pyro, it meant he could use all the other elements as well. He simply tucked the Vision away and stopped his attempts.
Beidou was utterly shocked!
If Ye Xi obtaining the Raiden Shogun's favor easily could be explained by his status in Inazuma, then how could his acquisition of Pyro be explained?
She threw an arm around Ye Xi's shoulder and said with great interest, "Ye Xi, I have a feeling that woman Ningguang would be interested in you. How about I take you to see her tomorrow?"
