He could create matter with his own power to fill them, but why waste his strength when there were ready-made materials available? There were so many asteroids in the solar system that leaving them unused would be a waste. It was only because the starry sky beyond Teyvat had been eroded by the Abyss that he had to go to the Honkai world to find asteroids.
