In other words, the Traveler woke up once 500 years ago. She was woken up by her brother and didn't understand what was going on before he dragged her away from Teyvat.
Before he could escape, he was stopped and fell into a deep sleep for another five hundred years.
So the unfortunate traveler only woke up for a short while in the past five hundred years?
In just a short while, the traveler didn't even know where he was or what he was supposed to do.
It was during this second awakening, when I gradually came to understand the world, that I realized I had been in Canria.
On the contrary, her brother woke up before her the first time, and he woke up before her the second time as well.
Legendary Sleep King.
[Dainsreb: "I probably know more about Canria than you do."]
"Kanria is a land without gods—the gods did not die or leave, but rather never existed in Kanria's history from the beginning."
"This is a powerful nation built solely by humankind, and humanity takes pride in its unprecedented prosperity and glorious civilization."
Riddler Dyne finally gave a simple and easy-to-understand clue.
Kanria is a kingdom of men, a kingdom where no gods have ever existed!
Mondstadt and Liyue are, in a sense, 'human kingdoms,' but they are not kingdoms without gods.
But how did Canria, without gods, survive the eternity?
People don't know the answer to the question, so they choose to continue reading.
Dain continued, "Five hundred years ago, all the gods descended and destroyed Kanria."
"To uproot the so-called 'human pride' from the garden of the gods, like weeds..."
Kaiya frowned, her heart filled with conflict.
This was the first time Diluc had seen Kaeya reading a book, and he simply placed the wine glass in front of Kaeya without saying a word.
Abedo remained silent on the snow-capped mountain. Even as a creation of 'gold,' he could not explain what happened five hundred years ago.
For others, this statement also carries a great deal of information: five hundred years ago, it was a complete catastrophe for most countries.
But now it seems like Canria is the victim? What about us?
The fact that the gods were on a campaign against Kornria was not widely known.
Dain's words raised questions: Why would the gods destroy Kanria?
But this doesn't raise any questions, because it's a god who has protected them for thousands of years, and they can't question a god because of a single sentence from Dain.
At most, they might be curious about the reasons why their gods do such things, but they wouldn't question whether their gods are good or bad.
Mondstadt, Kaeya, and the others looked at Wendy with puzzled expressions, hoping she could provide them with answers.
The same was true in Liyue; people were also looking at Zhongli with curiosity, wanting to know the answer.
However, the two old men naturally wouldn't say anything; they could do nothing but lament about Kanria.
The destruction of Kanria was not their original intention. Putting aside everything else, how many tragedies would the Seven Kingdoms have avoided if it weren't for the troubles in Kanria?
If Wendy hadn't fallen into a deep sleep, and Dvalin hadn't drunk the poisoned blood, they wouldn't have been seduced by the Abyss in the first place.
If Liyue hadn't been invaded by the Abyss, how many fewer Thousand Rock soldiers and immortals would have died?
Inatsume Yujin, if it weren't for the Canria incident, she would be such a 'cheerful' girl.
It's at least several times more cheerful than my current withdrawn state.
Moreover, if he were to truly come to power, there would be no nationwide lockdown or hunting order.
Furthermore, in Fontaine, if Agoria had not died, the prophecy would not have come true, because Agoria could completely control the Primordial Ocean.
Dain's words sounded pitiful, but they were ultimately based on Canria's perspective.
In fact, the war five hundred years ago could be said to have had no winners.
Even the dragons Durin and Erinas, being creations of 'gold,' met tragic ends.
Dulin merely wanted to dance with people after hearing the 'music,' but in reality, he caused irreparable calamity to the people on earth.
When Dulin awoke, he only saw the Wind Singer guiding a sapphire-like dragon, its sharp teeth piercing his throat.
Even on his deathbed, Dulin was still thinking about 'gold'.
Goodbye, Mom, my journey is over.
"It wouldn't be bad to sleep in the shimmering, silvery snow."
"Farewell, beautiful poet, beautiful dragon."
"If we could be at different times and places"
"How wonderful it would be to meet, sing, and dance together."
Erinus, too, came to the earthly kingdom and witnessed its vibrant diversity; he willingly went to his death.
As a being of darkness, He could be resurrected at any time, but He did not want to bring misfortune to the people on earth, so He chose to sleep forever.

"Kanria...alas, greed knows no bounds."
Chapter 150 Faith Asks for Nothing in Return?
However, perhaps there were victors five hundred years ago?
Those few 'sinners' who divided up the power might actually be the real victors.
They brought disaster upon themselves, divided up power, and yet no one stopped it.
This is why the White Swan Knights of Kanria help Sumeru fight against the Abyss, because Kanria is actually a victim of the Abyss's power.
Unfortunately, no matter how hard Dain's "Endblade" and the White Swan Knights tried, it was to no avail.
Even with their efforts reduced to a single survivor, they couldn't prevent the destruction of Kanria.
Piero regretted failing to prevent the disaster. As a result of being undervalued by the "King," he later served the Ice Queen as a "clown."
The events in Kanria are a disaster for the whole world, because the real enemy comes from outside the world.
Returning to the story, Dain and the Traveler are searching for the Abyss Order.
After eliminating some abyss mages and ruin guardians, Dain revealed more useful information.
[Dinesreb: "The name 'Ruins Guardian' is a modern name based on modern 'impressions'."]
"These machines, now known as Ruin Guardians, were originally codenamed 'Tillers' in Kanria."
"Land is not plowed with farm tools, but fought for with iron and blood." — Based on this philosophy, the "tiller" was born.
This surprised many modern people, most of whom didn't even know that the Ruin Guard originated in Kanria.
What's even more unexpected is that this killing machine guarding the ruins and covered in destructive weapons is actually called a "plowing machine".
Isn't your understanding of 'arable land' in Canria too extreme? Don't you have any conservatives in Canria?
Is it true that radicals believe land should be fought for with iron and blood, while conservatives think radicals are too conservative?
[Dinsreib: "After the destruction of Canria, these 'plowing machines' that had lost their masters went out of control."]
"Perhaps because they share a similar fate with other ancient civilizations that have also perished, they often remain dormant in various ruins."
This explains why the same type of relic guardian appears in the ruins, providing people with some unexpected archaeological knowledge.
However, many people agree with what the traveler said next.
'Five hundred years of aimless wandering...it seems...we must end their suffering more.'
So true, traveler! These guardians of ruins should indeed be put to rest, because they cause far too many casualties to modern people, no matter what.
Qin thought that these relics also had historical value, and if they could be preserved without being too damaged at the end, they could be collected and exhibited.
Al-Hysen also believed that such machines with research value should be eliminated more efficiently, and then collected for research.
And what they wanted, Xiao did. He destroyed the Ruin Guards by piercing their cores with a single shot, leaving almost no damage to the cores.
Unfortunately, Xiao wasn't interested in studying these machines and left after finishing his work.
The traveler in the story is the same; after quickly dealing with the ruins guards, he wanted to leave, but found a letter on the abyss mage.
[...Using the enemy's faith as fuel, to offer glory to the noble prince—'The Loom of Destiny,' the original plan.]
Readers couldn't understand these riddles at all, but fortunately, Dyne, who was good at riddles, provided explanations.
"In short, the initial plan is related to the 'Vortex Demon God' Oser."
Dain said that the Abyss wanted to corrupt Oser's consciousness just as Dvalin had done to it.
Moreover, this time it's not just about corrupting his consciousness, but also about further transforming his body, turning him into a 'mechanical demon god'.
The readers were sweating profusely as they read the story. They were starting to get confused, wondering why the story was so packed with information.
Previous stories involved only a few people or a country, but this one involves the whole world?
Although many things are still unclear, readers have figured out one thing: Osel is going to be in trouble again.
That's why Osel can't see this story, otherwise he would really be cursing.
How long have I been sealed away? I finally managed to get out for a quick look, and then I was sealed away again.
Sealing me isn't enough now, you want to modify me too? What did I do to deserve this while I was sealed away?
Besides, I'm a demon god with a wife. I don't want to be transformed into some kind of 'mechanical demon god'. You should go find Morax for that, since he doesn't have a wife anyway.
[Dinsreb: "The letter says they want to use that 'tainted, reversed idol' as a base, combined with Oser's limbs, to create a mechanical demon."]
"And the 'new core' used to replace the jewel in the statue's hand is... 'the eye of the world's first tractor.'"
["Place the 'eye' in the hand of the 'unclean, reversed idol'..."]
"This will grant the newly born corrupted demon the power to 'shake the throne on the Sky Isle.'"
Shaking Sky Island! You mean that island, which is even taller and larger than the Jade Pavilion? Is it really possible to shake it? That's amazing! But... why shake it?
This story is getting more and more exciting! I don't understand what it's talking about, but it sounds really amazing!
Now, not only can ordinary people not understand it, but even the traveler and Dain in the story don't know where the world's first tiller is at this moment.
They had no choice but to start with the statues. The filthy, reversed statue they saw was actually the statue of the wind god.
The traveler and Dain arrived at Mondstadt Church to inquire about the statue.
[Dainsreb: "Giant statues, magnificent churches. The Mondstadt people must have spent enormous resources and effort to build them."]
"But how much of this gift did the Wind God truly feel, and how much did he reciprocate?"
Dain disliked the Seven Gods, so he began his sharp critique as soon as he arrived at the church.
Wendy chuckled as she read, completely unconcerned about Dyne's sharp commentary.
Barbara was furious. How could this guy talk about Lord Wind God like that!
"Nonsense!..." Barbara's face flushed red with anger, but she still couldn't utter any harsh words.
How could it be that the Wind God should repay them? Given the Wind God's contributions to Mondstadt, it should be them who repay him!
The wind god did so much for Mondstadt, and they only built a giant statue. Whose reward was less?
As for how much the deity sensed, that's actually not important at all.
The gentle and free-spirited Anemo Archon never asked them to build statues; building statues was an act performed by the people of Mondstadt to satisfy their faith.
Those who truly experience and receive feedback from the giant statue are actually the people who believe in the wind god.
Paimon: "Isn't 'faith' selfless?"
Barbara said, "Paymon is right!"

"It was built voluntarily by the people of Mondstadt. In the end, it was nothing more than a creation to satisfy our 'faith.' If Lord Barbatos can truly find a sliver of solace in it, that would be wonderful!"
