Beyond the heavens, the crescent-shaped lights representing the moons behind the former Three Moon Sisters had now become a three-colored planet: Teyvat.
This meant that the three of them had completely copied present-day Teyvat through the Four Shadows.
Under normal circumstances, if the Four Shadows allowed outsiders to directly access and copy Teyvat's original records, Heaven's Principles should have woken up, no matter how deeply it slept.
Otherwise, someone would kill it in its sleep.
