“This is the Roaming the World Radio. I'm your host, Fu Yuan, here to keep you company through the night. I'm so glad we can meet over the airwaves. Perhaps we're only a stone's throw apart, or perhaps we're gazing at each other across the water. But we're lucky to have met through these airwaves. Take your time thinking, take your time talking. I'm here, listening to your voices.”
“Some say memories are the first thing to be washed away by time. Even if the same person forgets everything about the past, when they recall those memories again, they may feel as though they were experienced by someone else. Those memories have already been swept far away by the raging river of years. Even the faint traces they left behind have faded, or vanished altogether.”
“If you are trapped in a place without wind, then play a song from the heights of the heavens. If you miss friends from the past or scenes from long ago, then treasure them. If you are bound by past calamities, examine yourself, then follow the current forward once more. If you hope to fulfill a wish in someone else's heart, then hold firm to your convictions and never forget your original purpose.”
“Welcome back to Roaming the World Radio. The night is still long, and you can take your time saying what you want to say...”
Roaming the World Radio was built using the technology of the Akasha Terminal, then grew beyond it. It has tens of thousands of listeners across the seven nations of Teyvat. Every night at eleven sharp, it goes on air, and the steady, soothing voice of its host and creator, Xie Fuyuan, has become a welcome comfort to countless insomniacs in Teyvat.
Through the airwaves, people know him only as a radio host, with no idea of his true origins. Even The Steambird could not find out where to meet him. He is a legend in the hearts of countless people, especially in Sumeru.
Xie Fuyuan, a Sumeru native with Liyue ancestry, was a legend at the Sumeru Akademiya. As a child, he earned an exceptionally high score and entered the Vahumana School to study alongside students much older than himself. The Akademiya's scholars never spared their praise when speaking of him.
Everyone expected his thesis to be a work of genius that would make him a likely successor to the Sage of the Haravatat School. Instead, Xie Fuyuan submitted a thesis on Liyue adeptal arts.
The thesis devoted a great deal of space to explaining the different kinds of adeptal arts in Liyue and how they were used. It was certainly brilliant, but completely beside the point, and its claims could not be verified. Even the people of Liyue could not say for certain whether the Adepti truly existed, let alone whether these adeptal arts did.
And so Xie Fuyuan missed out on becoming a Sage. While everyone lamented his lost opportunity, Xie Fuyuan himself didn't care in the least and left the Akademiya without a fuss.
That unverifiable thesis was sealed away in the Sumeru Akademiya archives. Only Xie Fuyuan knew that the adeptal arts described in it were real, and that he himself had once used them.
No one knew that in his previous life, Xie Fuyuan had been the Adeptus known as Minghai Qixia Zhenjun. Whether out of Heaven's mercy or simply the workings of fate, he had been reincarnated as a human. He had lost his adeptal arts and no longer needed to protect Liyue, but in return he had gained a peaceful life.
Still, Xie Fuyuan always felt that something was missing. To the person he was now, the memories of Minghai Qixia Zhenjun felt like someone else's experiences. They left him unmoved.
As he traveled across the continent, he heard the innermost thoughts of countless people. Some were lost in life and tossed and turned through sleepless nights. Others had been dealt one blow after another and had lost faith in life. Their stories moved Fu Yuan. Then, by chance, he met the renowned adventurer Alice and learned from her about the secret of radio stations in other worlds. In those worlds, it turned out, people also lay awake at night, troubled by all sorts of things, and the so-called radio stations helped ease their worries.
At the same time, a plan began to take shape in Xie Fuyuan's mind...
