Yi'er looked at Qiu Bai before her, revealing an envious gaze.
"Hehe, if Yi'er wants to go."
"I can take you there."
Qiu Bai looked at Yi'er before him and said with a smile.
"Really?!"
"But, how would we get out..."
Yi'er spoke excitedly upon hearing this, then shook her head and lowered it again.
"I never lie."
"What I say I will do, I will definitely accomplish."
Qiu Bai clasped his hands behind his back, looking at the boundless dark sea, speaking seriously.
"As for that barrier..."
"Hehe."
A hint of a smile flashed across Qiu Bai lips. That boundless barrier left by the Ruler of Void.
To him, it was nothing more than a slightly larger piece of cloth.
"Big Brother Qiu Bai, can you really pass through that barrier?"
"That's a forbidden boundary that even powerful Archons cannot cross."
Yi'er looked at Qiu Bai back with concern.
"Archons?"
"By universal reasoning, I should be stronger than them."
Qiu Bai turned around, looking at Yi'er before him, smiling as he spoke.
"Stronger than Archons!"
"Is that true, Big Brother Qiu Bai?"
Yi'er looked at Qiu Bai before her and spoke with shock.
"It's true."
Qiu Bai looked at Yi'er before him and nodded.
The Dark Sea, the Archons here should all be the losers from the Archon War period.
The strongest would, at most, have the power of a high-ranking Archon.
"Hmm..."
"Yi'er, you should have heard the term Seven Orders, right?"
Qiu Bai frowned slightly, looking at Yi'er before him, speaking calmly.
"I have heard of it. Our ancestors were told by the Archons, and they recorded it."
"The Seven Orders are the seven Archons who won the war, also known as the Seven of Teyvat."
Yi'er looked at Qiu Bai before her and said with a smile.
"That's not wrong."
"To put it simply, even if all Seven of Teyvat attacked me together now, they would be no match for me."
Qiu Bai crossed his arms over his chest, looking at Yi'er before him, smiling as he spoke.
"Big Brother Qiu Bai, are you also an Archon?"
Yi'er looked at Qiu Bai before her and asked, stunned.
"That's right, I am also an Archon."
"The current mortal realm is divided into seven nations, and I am one of the deities of Liyue."
Qiu Bai looked at Yi'er before him and spoke without any reservation.
"Big Brother Qiu Bai is a deity?"
"It's hard to imagine what this concept means, to be stronger than the Seven of Teyvat..."
Yi'er looked at Qiu Bai before her, scratching her head in confusion.
"Hmm..."
"That's not illustrative enough. What I mean is, all the Archons in the Dark Sea combined might not be a match for me."
Qiu Bai stroked his chin in thought for a moment, then looked at Yi'er before him, smiling as he spoke.
With the strength of a Half-Step Law Ruler plus the Yin-Yang Chaos Sword, he wasn't exaggerating, in fact, he was being rather modest.
"Then Big Brother Qiu Bai, who is more powerful, you or the God of Light and Dark!"
"That's the humanoid Archon revered by our ancestors."
Yi'er lively eyes looked at Qiu Bai before her, asking curiously.
Upon hearing the term "God of Light and Dark." Qiu Bai couldn't help but cover his forehead.
"Why would you compare me"
"With that God of Light and Dark?"
Qiu Bai looked at Yi'er before him, asking somewhat puzzled.
"System, who is the God of Light and Dark?"
[Ding!]
[Name: Morcius]
[Identity: Creator, One of Teyvat Supreme Beings, God of Balance, God of Yin and Yang, God of Light and Dark, Terminator of Gods, One of the Founders of Liyue. Close friend of the Geo Archon, Ancient Adeptus of Liyue, Ruler of Yin-Yang Principle, Native deity of Teyvat.]
[Age: Over five thousand years]
[Strength: Peak level Law Ruler of Yin-Yang Principle (One of Teyvat Supreme Beings)]
[Experience: Represents Yin and Yang, Heaven and Earth, the Five Elements, Male and Female, Past, Future, and any opposing aspects of all things.
Morcius utilized the Five Elements to recreate wind, water, earth, and fire. Intending to return this unbalanced world to chaos and recreate the world anew.
His actions attracted the second arrival since the primordial human Phanes, a being calling itself "The Heavenly Principles."
"The Heavenly Principles" is the deity who defeated Phanes.
The four shadows of Phanes acknowledged the ideology of "The Heavenly Principles."
Later, the four shadows of Phanes followed the being calling itself The Heavenly Principles, and came to be called the Four Shades of The Heavenly Principles.
Morcius and "The Heavenly Principles." two supreme beings, Due to conflicting ideologies, initiated a world-ending war.
After the great battle, Morcius fell, and The Heavenly Principles was also about to fall, severely wounded.
The severely wounded "Heavenly Principles." before falling into slumber, seemed unwilling to let people remember what had happened. It utilized the Irminsul to erase the memories of all living beings in Teyvat.
It wanted to change cognition, but its remaining power could only accomplish memory erasure.
Those things that had already existed remained there, and ancient legends still persisted.
The Four Shades of The Heavenly Principles, the Ruler of Life and Ruler of Death, also fell in the great battle. The Ruler of Void and the Ruler of Time were also severely wounded.
The two sustainers, seeing that both creators were about to die, while they themselves were barely surviving. In the eyes of the Ruler of Void and teh Ruler of Time, "The Heavenly Principles." this creator, was also about to die.
The world could not be without a creator, and the two sustainers, the Ruler of Life and the Ruler of Death, due to the great war, were also about to die. The Ruler of Void and the Ruler of Time chose to slumber.
Many years ago, one of the sustainers of The Heavenly Principles, the Ruler of Void awakened. In her hand was the dark red cube that sealed Aether and Lumine.
"The sustainers are dying, the creator has yet to arrive."
"But this world will not burn again, because you will ascend to the throne of godhood."
The Ruler of Void gripped the dark red cube in her hand, muttering to the sealed siblings.
"Hmm?"
The Ruler of Void seemed to sense something, turned around dazedly, looking in the direction of Liyue Jueyun Karst.
In a cave, a young man was lying inside, and at his waist hung the Yin-Yang Stone.
"This... how is this possible?"
"He has been reborn..."
"So weak in strength, he is no longer a creator..."
The Space Sovereign shook her head, then turned her gaze back to the two dark red cubes in her hand.]
"Well, well."
"So my original self was that outrageously powerful?"
Qiu Bai listened to the system explanation, frowning as he muttered.
His temperament from decades of walking the mortal realm had made him less easily surprised.
He only felt that there was an overwhelming amount of information.
And the Irminsul, what was that? It could actually erase the memories of Teyvat living beings, and even change their cognition.
Was it something from Sumeru? It seemed that after finishing with Inazuma, he would need to make a trip to Sumeru.
He never thought that he was the one who had destroyed the Life and Death Sovereigns.
"Conflicting ideologies, what kind of ideological conflict?"
"I wonder what my former self was thinking."
Qiu Bai stroked his chin, somewhat amused in his heart, saying, why fight and kill, couldn't he have just sat down for tea with The Heavenly Principles?
