How to Get Shadows of the Past Quest in Wuthering Waves

Once you complete said quest, the Shadows of the Past quest will get added to your quest log, which you can access by pressing the ‘J’ key. The first objective of the quest asks you to wait for Xiaoyu’s Message. Usually, changing the in-game time via the Clock icon on the Terminal page progresses such objectives. For the Shadows of the Past quest, it does nothing.
