Tang San explained how the Devourer took control of the fragile world Phanes had saved and turned it into a source of sustenance. When the Light Screen revealed Phanes finding the remains of Nibelungen, the Second Throne, Tang San and Huo Yuhao concluded that the Devourer may have gained his power from the fallen being’s remains.

• Tang San described how the Devourer exploited Phanes’s weakened state, trapping the world in a cycle of disasters to feed on its people’s Life and Spiritual Energy.

The group learned that the Devourer had taken control of Nibelungen’s Abyss-powered dragon skeleton and was using a world’s suffering to sustain it, while Phanes continued resisting the corruption. The Light Screen then revealed that Phanes had used Nibelungen’s uncorrupted dragon bones as a vessel, leaving the Dragon God and the others stunned.

• Rong Nianbing and Ji Dong concluded that Nibelungen was an Abyss-aligned enemy whose power Phanes had defeated, then stolen by the Devourer.

• Tang San, Dai Hao, Xue Ye, and Ye Yinzhu interpreted the law as Phanes's means of ensuring the world's rulers would always serve humanity, at the cost of their freedom.

The observers realize that Phanes’s law of “love humanity” could make the Demon Gods destroy one another if any violated it. The Light Screen reveals that Phanes retreats to the Sky Throne to heal and suppress the Abyssal Curse, while hundreds of Demon Gods begin ruling Teyvat under shackles imposed on them all at once.

• The Light Screen names Phanes “Heavenly Principles” and shows him withdrawing as hundreds of Demon Gods emerge across Teyvat to rule their domains.
• Rong Nianbing concludes that the Demon Gods did not accept the shackles one by one; Phanes imposed the law of loving humanity on all of them at once.

Huo Yuhao and the others understood that Phanes had bound the Demon Gods with Rules that made them automatically destroy any who turned against humanity. The Light Screen revealed that Phanes returned to the ruined Sky Throne to heal and imprison himself, suppressing the Abyssal Curse for eternity, and then displayed an unexplained term.

• Rong Nianbing concluded that Phanes had imposed the same command on every Demon God from the start, making love for humanity a built-in Law rather than a choice.
• Huo Yuhao sensed a network of Rules linking the Demon Gods and explained that any node contemplating harm to humanity would alert the others to eliminate it.
• Tang San and Dai Hao recognized that Phanes had created a self-maintaining system that used absolute love to prevent the corruption of power.

The Heavenly Principles then ended the age of ten thousand nations by decreeing the Archon War, leaving the Demon Gods commanded to fight for seven divine thrones.

• The Dragon God explained that Phanes’s Rules had directed the Demon Gods’ power toward protecting and developing human civilization, while Tang San realized they had been compelled to do good.

• The Heavenly Principles awakened and declared that the age of ten thousand nations would end in an Archon War.
• The Heavenly Principles ordered the Demon Gods to slay and devour one another, promising the seven victors Gnosis and authority while condemning the defeated to become dust.

Tang San explained that Heavenly Principles had ordered a continent-wide war to eliminate the Demon Gods deemed unfit and forge the survivors into obedient enforcers. As former allies began to see one another as enemies, the war started across Teyvat.

• He Caitou and Zhou Weiqing recoiled at the decree forcing the Demon Gods to fight, and Tang San said Heavenly Principles intended to forge the strongest Gods into obedient weapons.
• Gu Yuena, Ji Dong, Lie Yan, the Dragon God, the Dragon Prince, Xiao Xiao, and Hai Long reacted with horror as they realized the defeated Gods would turn to dust.

The observers from Douluo Continent watched as the Heavenly Principles’ seven-seat decree turned Teyvat’s demon gods against one another, forcing even gentle gods to consider conquest for their people’s survival. The first blood was about to be shed outside Heulia’s shrine, where frightened subjects gathered to seek her protection.

The Light Screen showed Heulia murdered by her own people, and Tang San concluded that the Heavenly Principles' Divine Decree twisted people's minds by amplifying their fear and selfishness. As the Archon War began, gods across Teyvat prepared to kill former friends and allies in a brutal struggle for the Seven Seats.

• Heulia was stabbed by her own people, who pleaded that they needed her death to survive, while Morax watched in shock and grief.
