Reborn in Teyvat: Challenging Morax Right from the Start

Reborn in Teyvat, challenging Morax right from the start.

Somewhere in the mountains of Teyvat, a mass of pure qi hovered, shifting between white and black.

Even the sky turned white and black with the qi. Golden lotuses blossomed throughout heaven and earth, and a sacred aura spread through the land, as though celebrating a birth.

No way, I transmigrated? Wasn't I just playing Genshin Impact? More importantly, how did I end up as a mass of qi? What good is this? Has any transmigrator ever had it worse than me, Qiu Bai?

He suddenly remembered something from before he had passed out, particularly the words he had shouted.

"I'd trade fifty years of my life for one Zhongli!"

Then I got six golds in a ten-pull. Hiss... does that mean I used up my lifespan? And that's why I transmigrated?

Good grief, those six golds had put him at least three hundred years in debt.

At the thought, Qiu Bai's mouth twitched uncontrollably, even though he had no mouth.

Ding! The Strongest Demon God System in Teyvat requests to bind to the host!

Would the host like to bind to the system?

What? Teyvat? I transmigrated into the world of Genshin Impact?

And this Strongest Demon God System... does that mean I'm a demon god now?

That did not seem right either. Qiu Bai thought irritably, What kind of demon god is a mass of qi?

Well, I can't move anyway. Having a system to keep me company sounds pretty good. The world of Genshin Impact, hehehe... my wives, here I come!

If Qiu Bai had possessed a mouth, he would probably have started drooling already.

"Bind!"

Host binding successful. Would you like to open the host interface?

"Open!"

Host: Qiu Bai

Status: Born from the Yin-Yang Energy of heaven and earth, naturally formed, body of creation.

Identity: Demon God Morpheus (Progress: 94%; estimated birth in three hundred years)

When he saw his identity, Qiu Bai lost it.

It really is three hundred years of my life! I've got to sit here for three hundred years!

He wanted to cry, but had no tears. As a mass of qi, he could not cry even if he wanted to.

Ding! Host, you have a beginner gift package. Would you like to claim it?

Qiu Bai exclaimed excitedly in his mind.

There's even a beginner gift package! Claim it!

Congratulations, host! You have received a wisp of creation qi. Using it will allow you to be born ahead of schedule!

System, you're my god! You give me exactly what I need! If you were a girl, I'd definitely marry you!

Qiu Bai was so excited that he nearly cried.

The system: ...

"Use the creation qi!"

Qiu Bai felt wonderfully warm, as though something had slipped into his body.

He felt his body growing larger and hotter, hotter and hotter, as though a flame were burning inside him.

Why is it so hot? My Kamisato wife, that sly fox, Ei, Acting Grand Master Jean, Ningguang, Sara, Eula, Qi...

Before he could finish the thought, Qiu Bai's consciousness blurred, and he fell into a deep sleep.

Outside, the Yin-Yang Energy continued to grow. Purple qi surged through heaven and earth, and golden lotuses and purple qi poured endlessly into the Yin-Yang Energy.

They formed an eight-trigram diagram, its yin and yang flashing wildly. Black and white blurred together in the sky as lightning flashed and thunder roared. Finally, a human figure took shape, and the celestial phenomena gradually faded.

Up close, he looked eighteen or nineteen, with long, ink-black hair falling over spotless black-and-white robes.

His face was gentle and smooth as jade, and his pale blue eyes were as elegant and tender as a clear midnight sky glittering with stars. He stood around 1.85 meters tall.

A Yin-Yang Taiji Diagram the size of a Vision hung at his waist, radiating brilliant light.

Qiu Bai felt refreshed and invigorated. He could clearly sense the grass around him and the breeze brushing his body.

Qiu Bai opened his eyes. Before him lay vast mountains, rivers, hills, and greenery, all of which made him feel at ease.

"Having eyes feels amazing. I think I can understand Azhdaha now."

Qiu Bai spoke with delight.

"System, open the host interface!"

Host: Qiu Bai

Age: 4,000 years

Identity: Demon God Morpheus (formed from Yin-Yang Energy)

Current gender: Male

Divine powers: Space Blink, Flight, Yin-Yang Incarnation.

Demon god authorities: Power of Yang: purification, healing, restoration of living beings. Power of Yin: destruction, devastation, cursing living beings.

Qiu Bai felt his body brimming with power, as though he could shatter the mountain before him with a single punch.

"So this is a demon god's power? It's incredible. Yin-Yang Incarnation is a little hard to understand, though."

Qiu Bai pondered for a long while, his eyes half-closed. The Yin-Yang Energy separated from his body, forming two incarnations identical to him. The black-robed Qiu Bai was formed from yin qi, with the yin half of the two aspects hanging at his waist.

The other, dressed in white, naturally wore the yang half at his waist. The black-robed Qiu Bai's gaze was cold, while the white-robed Qiu Bai's was gentle. (The incarnations would only appear when the protagonist fought.)

"Each incarnation is about half as strong as my original body. So that's how it works. But damn, I'm handsome. Who knows which girls will fall victim to these looks?"

Qiu Bai stroked his chin as he studied the two incarnations.

He turned the incarnations back into qi and absorbed them into his body, then crouched down to test the power of yang.

"If it works on living beings, plants should count too, right?"

Qiu Bai released a burst of fire, burning the grass to ash, then sent out a stream of yang qi.

The white yang qi flowed into the patch of ash. As though time were reversing, the ashes turned back into vibrant grass.

"So that's how it works. With my current strength, restoring a demon god on my level would mean sleeping for several hundred years," Qiu Bai murmured as he stood.

"But where am I right now?"

Qiu Bai flew into the sky to survey the terrain.

In the distance, violent winds and torrential rain raged, floodwaters pouring down and sweeping away houses and trees. An enormous creature resembling both a qilin and a goat carried people on its back, accompanied by two enormous cranes.

Qiu Bai's pupils contracted. "Isn't this the part where the people of the Guili Assembly move back to Liyue Harbor under the adepti's protection? This is Liyue thousands of years ago!"

"My old... friend, why have I never seen you before?"

A deep, steady voice sounded behind Qiu Bai.

"When did you-!?"

Qiu Bai turned and darted backward.

I didn't sense him at all. When did he get so close?

When Qiu Bai looked at the person before him, he froze.

The man radiated a sacred, steady, majestic yet approachable presence, and his outfit made him look ridiculously handsome.

Indeed, the man standing in the same sky as Qiu Bai was Morax, the Geo Archon of The Seven.

"No need to be nervous, my friend. I was merely curious. We are not enemies."

Morax looked at Qiu Bai with some surprise.

Zhongli!?

Qiu Bai inwardly wanted to cry. This was the culprit behind his sudden death while pulling characters.

Morax looked at Qiu Bai's peculiar expression in confusion.

"My friend, my name is Morax."

"I can sense that your power is exceptionally pure. You do not seem to be a demon god from the time of the Archon War."

Morax stroked his chin as he spoke calmly.

"I am a newly born demon god, formed from the Yin-Yang Energy of heaven and earth. Only after thousands of years of nourishment was I able to emerge."

Qiu Bai answered the man's question with utmost seriousness. This was no joke—the man before him was Rex Lapis, the strongest of the Seven Archons.

At that moment, a bold idea arose in Qiu Bai's mind. He wanted to spar with the man before him. After all, he had just been born and had no idea how strong he was.

"My friend, I'd like to test my divine power. I only recently came into the world, and I don't really understand my strength yet. Would you spar with me?"

Qiu Bai appeared composed, but inwardly, he was panicking. This is the Geo Archon! What if he accidentally kills me?

"A demon god's power is immense. Even the weakest demon god can reshape the terrain."

"Still, we can spar. Think of it as a chance to familiarize yourself with your power."

Morax looked at Qiu Bai and spoke with a smile.
