In a secluded, impoverished village, prayers are not born of faith but of primal fear, directed at the God of Calamity, Death, and Restraint—some dare to call him the God of Prophecy. Legends whisper that his very gender is a secret, swallowed by the dark. As the Calamity’s essence floods the settlement, the people collapse to their knees in abject horror. Zhongli, caught in the suffocating wake of the unseen deity, finds his own body buckling, compelled to kneel with the rest.
