I did not. It was three months before I harmonized, not just a week prior. I do not want to say it was an inevitability, but too many things had happened where not being harmonized put me at a disadvantage. And so I did.

[ Unlike Diluc, Zhongli never gone a day without being one of the most powerful beings on the planet so the adjustment for him had been ... difficult to say the least. He thought he could remain on the sides as a teacher and a guide and stay mostly retired, but life did not work out so fortunately. Not with a threat as large as Aetos lurking in the shadows.

He could not stand by and let the few children left in Teyvat perish. Nor can he stand by and watch the same happen to the people of Kenos, just like with the founders of Liyue millennia ago.

Ah, sometimes even knowing the past and what the future will probably hold, history will repeat itself. Again and again.

I do wish to see Liyue again, more dearly than any other wish. But what is lost is lost. While I understand those they may want to reach for the past, I have seen it do more harm than good overall.
