Teyvat Was Once a Dead Planet! Radiant Realm Power Birthed a Dragon Over Eons, and the Primal Dragon Ruled the Heavens!
"Such domineering power." Huo Yuhao felt a chill run down his spine.
Tang Wulin, standing beside him, had a hint of confusion and expectation flickering in his golden pupils. The Golden Dragon King Bloodline within him seemed to sense something, emitting a series of low dragon roars, which he forcefully suppressed.
Gu Yuena stood on his other side, her silver hair cascading down her back, her purple eyes deep and unfathomable. Her feelings were clearer than Tang Wulin's; it was a throbbing sensation originating from the deepest part of her bloodline, as if something of the same origin as her, yet far more ancient and grander, was about to appear.
On the Light Screen, new words began to slowly appear.
Teyvat was originally Deathly Still Planet...
The first line of text stunned everyone present.
Deathly Still Planet?
What does this mean?
"Dead silence? No life, no elements, not even air and water?" Ning Rongrong couldn't help but ask softly, the halo of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda flickering behind her, revealing the turmoil in her heart.
Titan Giant Ape Tai Tan Sky Azure Bull Python Niu Tian, in their human forms, exchanged a glance, both seeing solemnity in each other's eyes. As the pinnacle of Soul Beast, their understanding of the word "life" far surpassed that of ordinary people. In their imagination, a world without life was Nihility.
"Impossible, right? The scenes we saw before clearly showed Teyvat to be a vibrant and thriving world." He Caitou adjusted his cigar, his tone full of incomprehension.
"Perhaps this is about something from a very, very long time ago," Bei Bei said in a deep voice, his gaze fixed on the Light Screen. His Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon bloodline gave him a natural awe of such grand narratives.
Just as everyone was discussing this, the second line of text, like a thunderclap that split the heavens and the earth, suddenly appeared.
[The internal Radiant Realm Power, refined over millions of years, gave birth to the Planetary Will — the Primal Dragon, Nibelungen.]
"Boom!"
It was as if an invisible bomb had exploded in everyone's minds.
Billions of years!
Planetary Will!
The Primal Dragon! Nibelungen!
Each word was like a heavy hammer, slamming down on their most solidified beliefs, shattering their already formed worldview into pieces.
"Billions... billions of years?" Xue Ye of the Heaven Dou Empire trembled. As Emperor, his thoughts and ideas were limited to a hundred or a thousand years, and the empire's legacy was only a thousand years. The unit "billions" was beyond his comprehension.
Dai Hao, the White Tiger Duke of the Star Luo Empire, had long since lost his composure and coldness, replaced by a stunned shock. He had fought his entire life and considered his will as firm as steel, but in the face of this unbelievable epic of creation, his pride seemed so insignificant.
"Radiant Realm Power ... what kind of power is that?" Chang Gong Wei murmured to himself. As Son of Light, his understanding of "light" was unmatched, but this "Radiant Realm Power" sounded like a more fundamental and higher-level existence than the element of light.
"A planet... has given birth to a will?" A'Dai 'Mandun eyes were filled with confusion. He could communicate with the dead and understand death, but he couldn't understand how a cold planet could possess something like "will," which belonged to life.
Those most affected are undoubtedly all entities related to "dragons".
"The Primal Dragon... Nibelungen..."
Gu Yuena's delicate body trembled uncontrollably, her beautiful face drained of color, and her purple eyes were filled with unprecedented horror and bewilderment.
As the Silver Dragon King, the other half of the Dragon God, she wields the elements and is the Dragon Clan's closest being to the origin. She always believed that the Dragon God was the beginning of all dragons and the pinnacle of all Dragon Clan.
But now, this Light Screen tells her that in a world called Teyvat, there is a dragon whose name is Nibelungen.
It was not born from the heavens and earth, nor was it formed from the convergence of elements.
It is the will of a planet!
Its formation is measured in "hundreds of millions of years"!
What a terrifying, what a magnificent existence this is!
"Impossible... This is absolutely impossible!"
An uncontrollable roar erupted from a corner of the God Realm Central.
That's the Dragon God!
Although it was just a remnant soul, the oppressive aura emanating from the pinnacle of its bloodline still caused all the Dragon Clan bloodline members present to feel a chill run down their spines.
The illusory figure of the Dragon God fluctuated violently. His golden eyes were fixed on the words "Primal Dragon," filled with rage, disbelief, and a trace of... fear that even he himself was unwilling to admit.
He was Deity born at the time of creation, the pride of the Dragon Clan, and once the strongest being in the Divine Realm!
But now, the mere description of the birth of an unheard-of "Primal Dragon" has shattered all his pride.
The will of the planet?
What does this mean?
Could it be that the dragon was actually a planet? And that planet was the dragon?
Unlike the Dragon God's fury, Tang Wulin's reaction was more direct.
"Hold head high--!"
A high-pitched, resounding dragon roar erupted uncontrollably from his mouth. The Golden Dragon King Bloodline within him boiled over completely, and the violent power even caused the air around him to distort.
His eyes turned a deep crimson gold, and the golden Dragon Mark on his forehead seemed to come alive, radiating a scorching light.
He felt a calling, a sense of reverence originating from the very beginning of life.
It was as if the Golden Dragon King Bloodline within him was merely an insignificant descendant before this being called "Nibelungen".
"Wulin!" Gu Yuena exclaimed, immediately reaching out to press her hand on his shoulder, gently channeling silver Dragon Power to try and calm his rampaging bloodline.
But the moment her power touched Tang Wulin, her own Silver Dragon King Bloodline resonated even more intensely.
One gold and one silver, two enormous dragon shadows loomed behind them, but they no longer possessed their former domineering and arrogant nature; instead, they carried a hint of... submission.
Tang San's expression was more solemn than ever before.
He placed one hand on his son Tang Wulin's back, and the Divine Power of the Sea God and the Asura God surged out simultaneously, forcibly suppressing the bloodline's violent surge.
His gaze never left the Light Screen.
"The Planetary Will..."
His brain was working at lightning speed.
As a former God King who once ruled the Great God Circle, he had come into contact with countless worlds and had also felt the vague dimensional will of Douluo Star.
But he has always believed that such will is more like a collection of Rules, an instinct to keep the world running, rather than a "life" with independent consciousness.
Teyvat... its will is actually a dragon?
A dragon that was conceived from the dead silence for hundreds of millions of years before being born?
This is beyond the realm of Divine Power. This is creation, the deepest mystery of the universe.
