Teyvat Dragon Clan Appears, Vago Rock, the Geo Archon, Seals Godhood with Contract, Martial, and Triple Authority!

Huo Yuhao could hardly believe his eyes.

The Extreme Ice he commanded, Tang Wulin's elemental control—powers hailed as the pinnacle on Douluo Continent—were merely products of Origin Power filtered through a layer of the "Heavenly Curtain" in this world called "Teyvat"?

"A world's power system was actually artificially 'castrated'?" Zhou Weiqing let out a strange cry, unable to comprehend such a feat.

This was no longer mere cultivation. It was practically severing a world's potential at its very root! No matter how gifted the people of this world were, the utmost they could ever reach in their lifetimes was power they were "permitted" to use.

How tragic! How tyrannical!

"So that's how it is..." A flash of realization crossed Ji Dong's eyes as he looked at Lie Yan beside him. "That 'False Sky' is not merely a visual deception—it is also shackles imposed upon laws and power. It defines everything in this world."

A chill rose in Lie Yan's heart.

The being that had created this world—or rather, remade it—possessed such meticulous designs and heaven-defying methods that it had already surpassed the realm of "Gods."

[And above all of this stood the supreme Authority!]

[It was the world's Rules and dominion, the mighty power of Heavenly Principles, the symbol of Demon Gods!]

When the word "Authority" appeared, every being at the God King level felt their divine souls tremble.

They were the wielders of their respective worlds' laws, the incarnations of dominion.

Yet the Light Screen's description made them sense a fundamental difference.

"The world's Rules and dominion..." Chang Gongwei repeated under his breath. As the God King of Light, he wielded the laws of light, yet he could not claim to be the rule of "light" itself.

"The mighty power of Heavenly Principles, the symbol of Demon Gods..." The Guqin in Ye Yinzhu's arms gave a faint tremble. He could feel the weight contained within the word "Authority." It was not a divine position acquired through cultivation, but an innate—or rather, "bestowed"—qualification representing a portion of the world's origin.

A Demon God possessing Authority did not merely use power. They themselves were the embodiment of the laws of power!

"Madness, utter madness..." Emperor Xueye had completely given up trying to think. He slumped upon his dragon throne, his eyes vacant. These concepts had utterly surpassed the limits of a mortal emperor's comprehension.

Dai Hao was no better off. The iron-blooded methods he had always taken pride in were as fragile as a sheet of paper before Authority, which could establish the Rules of a world.

Just as everyone was left reeling from this entirely new, world-shattering system of power, the Light Screen's image refocused upon the man named Zhongli.

That line of golden keywords now carried an entirely different weight in everyone's eyes.

[TOP 10: Vago Rock, the Geo Archon—Zhongli]

[Keywords: God of Geo, God of Contracts, God of War, Liyue Guardian Deity, Leisure in the Mortal World]

"God of Geo..."

At Shrek Academy, Bei Bei swallowed with difficulty, his voice dry. "This 'God' is probably not the kind of 'God' we understand."

He Caitou nodded frantically beside him. "He didn't cultivate into a god. He... he is the Authority of 'Geo' itself?"

That speculation left every Proud Son of Heaven present feeling suffocated.

How could a person represent one of the world's Rules?

Ning Rongrong's gaze remained fixed on the four words "God of Contracts."

Beside her, her father Ning Tian, the Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, was now breathing heavily.

What lay at the very foundation of commerce, trade, and the accumulation of wealth?

Contracts!

The equivalent exchange conducted between people and between factions under mutually acknowledged Rules.

And now, they had seen a... god whose Authority was "contracts."

What did that mean?

It meant that in Liyue, perhaps even throughout all of Teyvat, every act related to "contracts" might fall beneath the scope of his dominion. He was the incarnation of contracts, the maker and arbiter of Rules!

This could no longer be measured in wealth or influence. It was an absolute dominion on a conceptual level!

"God of War..."

In the God Realm, Mad God Lei Xiang, one of the Original Sin Gods under the God of Destruction, erupted with astonishing battle intent. Arrogant throughout his life, he had fought heaven and earth alike, believing his martial path to have reached divinity.

Yet upon seeing Zhongli's title of "God of War," he fell silent.

For a "Demon God" who wielded the Rules of the world, what sort of spectacle would his "martial prowess" be? Would continents shift with a casual gesture, or would the laws themselves change at his Words Become Law?

It was unimaginable.

And precisely because it was unimaginable, the unfathomable terror of it was all the more chilling.

"God of Geo, God of Contracts, God of War..." Tang San softly recited those three titles. Each one represented an ultimate Authority.

And those three Authorities were gathered within a single person.

"He protects that city called 'Liyue'..."

Tang San's gaze once again fell upon that bustling harbor.

How stable and powerful would a nation guarded by "Rules" themselves be?

Zhongli's three mountain-heavy titles still weighed upon everyone's hearts, leaving them nearly unable to breathe.

Authority, this brand-new concept, was like a Heavy Hammer that utterly shattered the Douluo World's Living Beings' established understanding of power.

So above mortals and Gods, there existed such a terrifying realm.

That was not the use of power, but power itself.

That was not an understanding of the Rules, but the making of Rules—and the judging of Rules!

Amid the stunned silence, the image on the Light Screen quietly changed.

Zhongli's calm, unreadable face slowly faded away, replaced by a line of even grander golden words that made everyone's hearts tremble.

[Next, we will begin surveying the Living Beings and Strong Ones of the Teyvat World!]

It was here!

Everyone unconsciously straightened their backs.

Zhongli alone had already delivered such a world-shattering shock.

Now, this mighty force known as the "survey" was about to unveil the mysteries of the entire Teyvat World.

What kind of place was it?

And just how many Demon Gods like Vago Rock, the Geo Archon, wielded "Authority" there?

The Light Screen gave them little time to think before new content appeared.

[Primal Rulers—the Dragon Clan!]

Dragon Clan!

The instant those two words appeared, hearts skipped a beat throughout the God Realm, the Star Dou Great Forest, Shrek Academy... and nearly every existence connected to dragon-type martial souls or dragon bloodlines.

Within the God Realm Committee, the last remaining wisp of the Dragon God's soul set off towering Giant Waves.
