Perhaps with a single thought, the other side could return his army, along with the land beneath their feet, to their most primal elemental forms.

Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Ning Tian's breathing grew incredibly labored as he looked at his daughter.

"Rongrong, do you understand what this means?"

Ning Rongrong nodded numbly. Her Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul was hailed as the greatest support-type martial soul in the world, capable of amplifying anything. But could she amplify an entire continent? Could she amplify a life born of a planet?

Of course she understood.

It meant that Teyvat had once been home to a nation made up of countless "Gods of Geo."

A civilization made up of countless "Gods of Contracts."

An army made up of countless "Gods of War."

Wealth, power, wisdom, strength... everything humanity could boast of had lost its meaning before that absolute, primordial power.

"They... are the Primal Rulers."

Tang San's voice echoed through the Divine Realm, carrying a strain unlike any he had shown before. He had glimpsed something deeper. These dragons weren't invaders or outsiders. They were the world itself. They were children of the planet Teyvat, its rightful and only kings.

Those words made every deity's heart sink.

Yes, they were the primal, legitimate, and only rulers.

Then what manner of terrifying existence was the "Outworlder" mentioned on the Light Screen—the one who ended the Ancient Dragon Era and changed the colors of the sky and earth?

An existence capable of defeating the collective will of an entire planet?

A terrifying being capable of obscuring even the "true starry sky"?

That question loomed over everyone like an impassable black mountain, pressing down on their hearts until they could barely breathe.

Mad God Lei Xiang, who had been silent until now, couldn't help speaking. His voice was hoarse. "Then... what kind of... battle must that have been?"

Mad God Lei Xiang's hoarse question was like a pebble dropped into a deathly still pond, but it failed to stir even the slightest ripple.

Everyone remained under the shadow of terror cast by the unimaginable "Outworlder," their minds nearly shutting down.

Just then, the scene on the Light Screen shifted again. Golden words slowly appeared, forcibly drawing everyone's attention back.

[The Dragon Clan possessed not only unparalleled strength, but also built a glorious and splendid Ancient Dragon Civilization.]

Civilization?

Those two words sent a jolt through countless powerful beings in both the Divine Realm and the mortal world.

They had imagined the might of those Elemental Ancient Dragons and the devastation they could unleash like natural disasters, but few had ever connected them with the word "civilization." In their understanding, the Dragon Clan—even under the rule of the Dragon God—had relied mainly on their bloodlines and strength. The refinement and order of civilization seemed to have nothing to do with them.

Yet now, the Light Screen told them plainly: those Primal Rulers possessed not only strength, but civilization as well!

[Even among the powerful Dragon Clan, there was a strict hierarchy.]

As soon as those words appeared, the Dragon God's pupils in the Divine Realm abruptly contracted.

A strict hierarchy! Those words were all too familiar to him. The Dragon Clan he had created was ranked by bloodline purity. The Nine Great Dragon Kings were his strongest offspring and the foundation of his rule.

Were the ancient dragons of Teyvat the same?

Before he could dwell on it, the text on the Light Screen continued downward. Each word seemed to weigh a thousand tons as it slammed into the depths of everyone's souls.

[At the very pinnacle of the entire Dragon Clan stood seven supreme Elemental Monarchs—the Seven Great Dragon Kings!]

Boom!

Tang Wulin's mind went completely blank.

The Golden Dragon King Bloodline within him no longer roared. Instead, it let out a wail from the depths of his soul—the instinctive submission of a lesser being to a supreme existence!

Dragon Kings!

He had inherited the Golden Dragon King's power, while Gu Yuena was the Silver Dragon King. The two of them stood at the pinnacle of the Dragon Clan in the Douluo God Realm, the mightiest beings left after the Dragon God's division.

But now, the Light Screen told him that in that world, in that distant prehistoric era, there had been seven Dragon Kings of the same rank as them!

No, that wasn't right!

Tang Wulin immediately rejected the thought.

How could those beings possibly be on the same level as him? They were Elemental Monarchs! Supreme beings!

Gu Yuena's body trembled slightly, and her silver hair stirred without a breeze. She felt the stirring of her bloodline—a complex mix of longing, sorrow, and awe.

Seven Elemental Monarchs... Was that what the Dragon Clan had truly been like?

In the Divine Realm, the Dragon Prince stared blankly at the Light Screen. He had always been proud of his bloodline, but now that pride had been shattered. Compared with those seven Elemental Monarchs, what did his bloodline amount to? It wasn't even dust.

[They were the first seven Ancient Dragons to be born, the Incarnations of the Origin of Seven Elements!]

Those words left all the powerful beings present who dealt with the elements gasping for air.

"Incarnations of the... origin of the elements?"

In the God Realm Committee, God of Goodness Lieyan's red lips parted slightly. She exchanged a glance with God of Evil Jidong, and both saw the shock in the other's eyes.

Ji Dong controlled Extreme Twin Fires, while Lie Yan was the Fire Dragon King born from Core Fire. They had believed their understanding of fire had already reached the pinnacle of the world.

Only now did they understand what "fire" truly was.

An Elemental Monarch of flame, the incarnation of the very first source of flame... What kind of magnificent existence must that be? Before that Monarch, their own Extreme Fire probably wouldn't even amount to a tame little flame.

"You've got to be kidding me..."

God of Emotion Huo Yuhao muttered to himself. He controlled Extreme Ice, but could he claim to be the origin of ice? He couldn't. He was only a user, a controller.

But the Ice Dragon King was ice itself!

"Rong Nianbing..." Tang San's voice sounded a little strained. He looked toward his father-in-law, the former God of Emotion and Ice Fire Demon Chef.

Rong Nianbing had never looked so solemn. He controlled the magic of seven elements, and his seven Divine Blades represented seven extremes. Yet the magic he had once prided himself on seemed laughable beside the words "incarnation of the origin."

That wasn't magic. It was Authority—the embodiment of the World Rules!

In the mortal world.

Shrek Academy.

Bei Bei's Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul manifested against his will. Sparks crackled over his body, yet seemed incredibly dim.

"The origin of the Seven Elements..." He Caitou pushed up his glasses, his gaze behind the lenses filled with shock. "So that means there's an Origin Dragon King of Lightning, an Origin Dragon King of Wind, an Origin Dragon King of Water..."

Xu Sanshi's Xuanming Turtle Shell automatically protected him. He swallowed with difficulty. "Don't say any more. Keep going, and I feel like my Martial Soul's going to shatter."
