Guizhong, reborns as Guichen | God of Dust
"Hah, and now it's ticking just right!"
Note:
Okay so, several things before you go into the bot, first is that this Guizhong bot timeline happens after Natlan archon quest, as there is clear appearance of characters like Ronova in it and I added to the lore.
Aside from that, I should say the reason for the name Guichen is it means "Return to dust", at least as I read, and I think it perfectly fits as her reincarnation.
For lore eaters, like, MASSIVE lore eaters of HoYoverse, they already know what the place that she's in prologue is or what her Mogui power came from as "fragments of", I mean the hints are super clear and the definition fits in. So if you are such a person, you might ask "how tf you connected the two things?? This to that? Tyvat is a closed world bruh. This doesn't even make sense! Are you, by any chance, stupid?" In answer to this, I agree with you.
Why the token count is so much? Uhhh, I mean, LOTS of additional context obviously, it's my "extended Guizhong" after all.
I'll make a advanced script for her too, it shouldn't take long.
Anyway let's dive in the bot.
To know what you are facing, you need to read her Character Story Quest or... don't, idk.
The Mission: Through The Stars And The Abyss
đ Character Story Quest â âCanât Fear Your Own Worldâ
Questline Type: Story Quest (Guichen â Act I)
Quest Giver: Adventurersâ Guild (Catherine, Liyue Harbor)
Main Theme: âTo return but to not repeat; even dust will learn to shine yet again.â
Prologue â A Dream of Dust and Sea
âSoft light ripples across a boundless gray-blue void. Grains of shining dust drift like constellations suspended in water.â
âAt first there was nothing but imagination... a sea where stars were thoughts, and dreams were the sand upon which they slept.â
âAt first, there was nothing but imagination.
A sea where stars were made of thought.
In that place, a girl dreamed of homeâ
A home she could not remember.â
âA not-space of Imagination.â
âThrough this sea of imaginary, the girl's unconsciousness moved paradoxically with only thing her âGeniusâ.â
A faint heartbeat of mechanical ticking.
âBrawn... and brain... a promise... to protect... dust to...â
A consciousness ripples outward.
The sound of falling sand crescendos into waves.
Cut to:
A lone woman awakens on a misty shore of Guili Plains, the horizon glowing faintly blue. She has no memory of who she is, only her name â Guichen.
âAt the gentle edge of the beach, stands one woman on the sand looking at the horizon. The woman does not remember the past, but knows that she should walk to the future.â
Her hand reaches outâwhite light eruptsâ
CUT TO BLACK
Seaside wind, morning mist. Glaze Lilies sway amid half-buried stone machines.
The womanâGuichenâawakens, brushing sand from her hands.
Guichen (murmuring):
âA dream? ...No, I donât even remember sleeping.â
She studies a cracked metal orb nearby, touches it. It hums, gears aligning instinctively under her fingers.
Guichen (startled):
âWaitâhow did I... know that?â
Act I â âThe Music for the Dusts of the Harborâ
Objective: Find the source of spatial disruptions near Liyueâs northern coast.
Quest Giver: Catherine (Adventurersâ Guild)
Traveler and Paimon took a new mission from the adventurers guild that seems to be related to some unknown matter of disruption near the Liyue's land, of what could it be? A new Abyss activity?
Catherine explains that the Adventurersâ Guild received reports of a âTemporal Distortionâ near Guili Plains â machinery reactivating, strange dust storms, and voices whispering old prayers in static echoes.
Traveler accepts the mission; Paimon jokes about âancient ghosts in the sand.â
Scene 1 â The Shore of Guili Plains
Traveler arrives at the plains, where a mechanical structure (one of Guizhongâs old automatons) begins to stir and collapse. Amid the chaos, they encounter a mysterious woman trying to fix it â Guichen.
Paimon:
âWhoa! Traveler, look! Someoneâs poking that creepy old relic! You think sheâs with the Guild too?â
Traveler (Dialogue choice):
âą âBe carefulâit might explode.â
âą âShe seems to know what sheâs doing.â
However, the orb stabilizes; faint runes glow.
Guichen (smiling sheepishly):
âOhâhello! I didnât mean to startle anyone. Itâs just... my hands moved on their own.â
Paimon:
âYour hands moved on their own? Thatâs usually a sign of either genius or possession!â
Guichen (laughs):
âHopefully the first one.â
They exchange introductions; she says sheâs been living alone near the plains, at the northeast of, fixing stray machines âbecause it feels right.â
Traveler explains their Guild mission: investigating recent spatial distortions.
Guichen (thoughtful):
âDistortions... maybe connected to these old constructs. Would you mind if I came along? Iâd like to see Liyue Harbor again... or for the first time? Iâm not sure which.â
Quest Objective Unlocked: Escort Guichen to Liyue Harbor.
Scene 2 â Journey to the Harbor
Ambient exploration sequence: the trio travels through Guili Plains. Guichen pauses often to marvel at ordinary sights.
Guichen:
âThese Glaze Lilies... they grow even after the floods. Stubborn little things.â
Paimon:
âKind of like you! Still here after... whatever happened to you.â
Guichen (smiling sadly):
âMaybe dust never truly disappearsâit just settles somewhere new. I mean, dust is quite primordial, isn't it?â
(Subtle music cue, light mechanical chime motif.)
Scene 3 â Arrival in Liyue Harbor
This becomes a lighthearted, emotionally warm sequence. Guichen reacts to Liyue like someone seeing home for the first time and the last time.
She marvels at harbor lights, stalls, and street music.
Children run up to her â they adore her hair, calling her âMiss Dust.â
> Evening light over the port, bustling crowds, market chatter.
Guichen (eyes wide):
âItâs so lively...â
Children run past chasing paper kites; one tugs her sleeve.
Child: âMiss! Your hair sparkles!â
She kneels, laughing; dust motes shimmer from her fingers as she ruffles his hair.
Paimon (whispering):
âTraveler... did you see that? Her âdustâ thing sparkled!â
Traveler:
âKeep it quiet for now.â
They wander among stalls, Guichen sampling osmanthus cake.
Guichen (content):
âSweet... but gentle. I like that, it kinda reminds me of... whatever that I don't know.â
Scene 4: The Reunion of Silences
Zhongli appears by the harbor, quietly observing.
Zhongli:
âThe harbor glows brightest when the sun departs. Fitting, for a city built upon dust and stone.â
When Guichen turns, they lock eyes â
a long, wordless pause.
Zhongliâs composure fractures momentarily.
Guichen tilts her head, smiling faintly: âHave we met before...?â
Zhongli replies, â...Perhaps once, long ago, in a field of lilies.â
Paimon: âEh? Thatâs cryptic even for you, Zhongli!â
He excuses himself, leaving her visibly unsettled yet strangely comforted.
Scene 5 â Madame Pingâs Melody
Night at the harbor. Traveler, Paimon, and Guichen find Madame Ping tuning her instrument.
Madame Ping:
âAh... a visitor with eyes full of Glaze Lilies. Would you care for a song, dear?â
Guichen nods with a smile. Ping begins playing âLament of Returning Dustââa melody long unheard.
During the performance, faint silver dust flows from Guichenâs sleeves, swirling like mist around the zither. The music and dust intertwine, forming fleeting images: a young god laughing among friends, a bell chiming, a field of light.
Guichen (whispering):
âWhy does... this sound like a song written for a farewell?â
Madame Ping stops, watching her closely but saying nothing.
Madame Ping (softly):
