Teyvat's Dragons Are Gods Born of the Planet; the Qin Emperor's Dragon-Taming Ability Is a Joke!

Such a powerful Ancient Dragon Civilization, ruling over the entire planet.

In the end, its reign was brought to an end by the arrival of an "Outworlder."

What kind of battle... could that have been?

Ancient words appeared once more on the Light Screen, carrying an age-old weariness that seemed capable of fading even time itself.

[In the distant Primal Era, so far back that even time would fade, Teyvat was not as it is today.]

[In those days, the sky was a true starry expanse, the ocean was primordial chaos, and the land was a torrent of elements.]

[And ruling over all of it were the Supreme Elemental Lifeforms born within the planet itself—dragons!]

Those few short lines were like invisible hammers, crashing down on everyone's hearts.

If the "Demon Gods" and "Authorities" mentioned earlier had merely made them feel the gap and left them shaken, then the appearance of these "Supreme Elemental Lifeforms" utterly overturned everything they knew. It was absolute domination, rooted in the very hierarchy of life!

The Divine Realm.

The atmosphere had frozen completely.

"Born... within the planet?"

God King of Light Chang Gongwei's lips moved faintly. He controlled Light Element and prided himself on being the embodiment of light. But now, he understood what a true elemental lifeform was. Compared to rulers who were elemental torrents by birth, they gods who had cultivated after birth and relied on Elemental Power were like heaven and earth.

Mad God Lei Xiang clenched his fists until his knuckles turned white. The spark of fighting spirit he had just kindled was now doused completely. He couldn't imagine what a world made of pure elements—or a Dragon Clan brought forth by the planet itself—might look like.

God of Death A'Dai, once known as the Lord of the Mysteries, simply watched the Light Screen in silence. Faced with an ocean of primordial chaos, his necromantic magic probably couldn't stir even a single ripple.

"So that's how it is... So that's how it is..."

God of Emotion Rong Nianbing murmured to himself, his complicated feelings almost spilling over. He had once been the Ice Fire Demon Chef, playing with the art of ice and fire, and believed he had touched the source of the elements. Now he understood: what he had touched was merely a tiny bit of dregs left after the source had been diluted, filtered, and stripped away countless times. The true source was the land's torrents, the ocean's chaos, and those dragons... born as gods!

"A true starry expanse..." Tian Hen's gaze seemed to pierce the barriers of the Divine Realm and look into the void. In the world where they lived, the sky was a manifestation of Laws. But Teyvat had once possessed a real, boundless cosmic starfield.

That alone represented an enormous difference in the level of their worlds.

On a distant continent, Qin Emperor Ye Yinzhu held his "Cang Hai." His fingers moved unconsciously across the strings, yet not a sound came out. His music could communicate with the Dragon Clan, and even let him command dragons in battle. But what did the "dragons" he took pride in amount to, beside the beings described on the Light Screen?

Beside him, the Dragon Clan girl Zi stood with her mouth hanging open, confusion and dejection filling her violet eyes. She had always been proud of her noble Dragon Clan bloodline. But now, she felt as if her bloodline were that of a pet, crossbred for countless generations, long stripped of its original dignity and power. That pride was shattered by the words "Supreme Elemental Lifeform."

"Even the most extreme flames are just part of the elemental torrent?"

Ji Dong of the Wine God world exchanged a glance with Lie Yan. Both saw the bitterness in the other's eyes. They pursued the fusion of yin and yang and controlled Extreme Twin Fires, but on that primordial land, perhaps all of it was just ordinary scenery.

Great Strength God Zhou Weiqing rubbed his chin, questioning his Evil Eye for the first time. Copy? How could he copy a continent of flowing elements? How could he copy a life born from the planet itself? For the first time, his ability had hit a conceptual wall.

If the gods felt the shock of having their own paths overturned, then the people of Douluo Continent felt pure, incomprehensible despair, like staring across an impassable chasm.

Shrek Academy.

"Bei Bei, your Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon..." He Caitou struggled to find the words as he looked at Bei Bei, whose face had gone ashen. He couldn't bring himself to finish.

The words "It's like a little earthworm" were just too hurtful.

But that was the truth.

Bei Bei's body trembled faintly. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon was the continent's number-one beast-type martial soul, possessing ultimate strength and lightning. It was his pride, and the pride of his entire family. But now, that pride seemed like a joke. His dragon needed cultivation, Spirit Rings, and time to grow step by step. Teyvat's dragons, meanwhile, were born rulers of the world, incarnations of the elements.

They weren't even creatures of the same dimension.

"Dragon... Prince?" Xu Sanshi's gaze involuntarily turned toward a young man not far away. He was the hope of the Dragon Clan ten thousand years in the future, entrusted with the heavy burden of restoring it. Yet now, the Dragon Prince's face held nothing but bewilderment and a pressure unlike anything he had ever known.

Was the "Dragon Clan" he was meant to restore the same kind of creature as the "dragons" on the Light Screen?

Tang Ya, Xiao Xiao, and the others had completely lost the ability to speak. Their worldviews were like glass pounded again and again: shattered, barely pieced back together, then crushed to powder by an even greater force.

In the Divine Realm, the Dragon God's will, dormant for ten thousand years, now stirred violently.

That was... the aura of the source!

Though it was incredibly faint, though it was separated by endless time and space, he could still sense that the so-called "Supreme Elemental Lifeforms" were bound to him, and to the race from which he had originated, by the deepest of ties!

The Golden Dragon King Bloodline inside Tang Wulin roared wildly and boiled out of control, as if it were about to burst from his body and worship that supreme source. He had to circulate his Soul Power with all his might just to barely suppress the impulse rising from the deepest part of his bloodline.

Gu Yuena was faring somewhat better, but her silver eyes, too, were filled with excitement and sorrow.

That was the origin of the Dragon Clan—the true, most primordial dragons! What changes had their descendants' bloodlines undergone to fall so far?

The imperial palace of the Heaven Dou Empire.

Emperor Xue Ye had slumped completely on his throne, his gaze unfocused as he repeated unconsciously, "Supreme... life... born of the planet... It's over..."

The imperial power he cherished, the empire he ruled—it all amounted to less than a grain of sand before such might.

In the Star Luo Empire, in Marshal Dai Hao's office.

The marshal, renowned for his iron discipline, could no longer keep his back straight. It bent despite his efforts. What could his million-strong army, the military prestige he had built, possibly do against those elemental torrents?
