Exposing Teyvat's Golden Age: Demon Gods Unleash Powers to Protect Humans! Heulia Creates Endless Wealth

"How... pathetic." Lie Yan sighed softly. She had once been the queen of the Core World, then the wife of a God King, witnessing countless clashes and burnings of will, yet she never imagined that will itself could be so easily "formatted."

Ji Dong took her hand. He didn't speak, but the warmth in his palm conveyed the same emotion.

Just as this solemn silence was about to solidify, the massive light screen lit up again.

As if hearing Hai Long's earlier question, the light screen provided its answer in the most direct way possible.

A line of grand golden text appeared before everyone's eyes.

["God Loves All Beings", this is the highest directive.]

[Thus, the golden age, began.]

The scene shifted. The land that had just experienced creation and war welcomed new life.

Newborn Demon Gods, carrying the iron rule engraved in the deepest part of their souls, walked among mortals. They were no longer aloof arbiters, but had transformed into... guides, guardians, and even... servants.

The scene first focused on a vast swamp covered in water and reeds.

A tall and majestic figure appeared there. He walked silently through the mud, while the ancestors of humanity watched fearfully from a distance.

Then, he extended his hand, and the earth rumbled in response.

Countless rock spears erupted from the ground, not for slaughter, but precisely arranged, stacked, and compressed, channeling the overflowing floodwaters into riverbeds. Sturdy dams took shape at a visible speed, transforming the swamp into fertile land that could be cultivated.

He then pointed to the distant mountain range. Giant stones flew over on their own, cut, polished, and piled under his will, forming solid houses and magnificent harbors.

He taught humans how to mine ore, how to establish contracts, and how to build a vast commercial system with integrity and rules.

"It's the power of rock!" Niu Tian and Titan, two burly men, exclaimed almost simultaneously. They had an instinctive closeness to this pure, heavy power filled with creation and guardianship.

"It's more than just power." Tang San's gaze was fixed on the Demon God called "Morax" in the scene. "He is establishing 'order.' From physical dams and harbors to the 'contract' of rules. He is laying an unshakeable foundation for this civilization."

Emperor Xueye watched, entranced. What does a monarch seek throughout their life if not peace and prosperity for the nation and an everlasting foundation? And the Demon God in the scene was using divine might to fulfill the ultimate dream of a mortal emperor.

A prosperous port city rose from this former swamp, with a thousand sails competing and myriad merchants gathering.

"So powerful..." Xiao Xiao murmured. Her martial soul was the Three Lives Soul Suppressing Cauldron, and she could best understand how precious this power of suppression and stability was.

The scene shifted to a frigid land covered by eternal blizzards.

Another Demon God's figure appeared. Unlike Morax, who taught by direct involvement, he chose another way to interpret "love."

With a wave of his hand, he erected towering walls, blocking out the roaring cold winds and ice and snow. Inside the walls, it was warm as spring.

He created an absolutely safe haven for his human subjects, a city-state without natural disasters or severe cold. He was the sole king, the sole will of this city-state, demonstrating his "love" through absolute protection.

"This is... another cage." Dai Hao's voice carried a hint of mockery.

He remembered himself, remembering the White Tiger Duke who once tried to control everything with absolute authority. This demon god named "Decarabian," whose methods were ten thousand times more skillful than his, was astonishingly similar in essence.

"Imprisonment in the name of love." A'Dai, or rather Mandun, this former King of Underworld, spoke in a flat tone, yet Lei Xiang and Chang Gongwei beside him heard a hint of shared melancholy.

He understood the pain of losing freedom better than anyone. Even if this confinement originated from "good intentions."

Tang Ya's face grew even paler. She subconsciously tightened her grip on Bei Bei's arm. This meticulous "protection" reminded her of the Holy Spirit Cult's twisted theories, sending a shiver down her spine.

However, Huo Yuhao saw the problem from another perspective.

"His 'love' is 'shelter.' So he created an environment of absolute shelter. Morax's 'love' is 'guidance' and 'order,' so he established the City of Contracts. Every demon god is answering the proposition 'God Loves All Beings' in their own way."

It was like an exam, where all the candidates received the same question but wrote completely different answers.

The light screen seemed to confirm his words, and the scene switched again.

A barren, saline-alkali land where nothing grew.

A gentle goddess, Heulia, descended upon this place. She didn't move mountains or fill seas; she merely stomped her foot lightly, and pure salt springs gushed from the depths of the earth, condensing into beautiful salt flowers.

She taught her people how to preserve food with salt and how to exchange surplus salt as commodities for other things. Soon, the people of this barren land became incredibly prosperous because they mastered the most valuable hard currency of that era. The goddess's people were well-fed and clothed, even to the point of not knowing what conflict was.

"Support type! This is the ultimate support-type deity!" Ning Rongrong's eyes lit up.

Ning Tian beside her was also unable to contain his excitement. The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, with all its might, pursued "wealth surpassing all, supporting the continent," but compared to this Salt Demon God, it was like a child's game. The other party, with just a simple rule, created endless wealth from the source.

"It's... it's incredible." He Caitou stared at the screen, his mouth agape wide enough to swallow a Soul Guidance Cannonball.

The scene moved again.

On a dusty plain, another wise goddess, Guizhong, was showing humans her creations.

It was something called "mechanism." Automated plows, self-targeting crossbows, and various ingenious creations for convenient living. She imparted the wisdom of machinery to humans without reservation.

"Mechanism Arts!" Huo Yuhao and He Caitou's minds were instantly captivated.

This was strikingly similar to their Soul Tool theory, yet it headed down a completely different path! No soul power core, relying purely on intricate mechanical structures and some unknown energy source for propulsion. This opened a new door for them.

Morax's rock, Decarabian's wind, Heulia's salt, Guizhong's dust and wisdom...

The perspective of the light screen continuously zoomed out, and the entire Teyvat Continent appeared before everyone's eyes.
