Genshin Impact, all those behind-the-scenes big shots are me

"Creation... is not that simple."

Su Chen felt this more and more strongly.

Why is it difficult to conquer a country, and even more difficult to defend it?

Military strength is needed to establish a nation, while civil administration is needed to govern it.

Taking Teyvat is easy, but that's not even the beginning. The emergence of civilization is just the beginning, and the end of civilization is also just the beginning. The process of order being born between constant rise and fall, and constantly correcting mistakes, is quite torturous.

Moreover, this ability to restart everything by pressing a button gradually makes Su Chen feel that life is not so precious. This feeling is very different from his previous simulations. In the previous simulations, he mostly played the role of a 'lover' or a leader in the development of civilization, entering the game of life. Now, he is the player.

The perspective of the player and the player on the chessboard is naturally different. Su Chen knew that in those destroyed civilizations, there were also people who cried out in despair, questioned the gods in the heavens, and even cursed in resentment. But there was no other way. Before a stable order could be established, he still had to keep trying.

He suddenly understood why the sky was so 'ruthless'.

However, after more than two thousand years of accumulation, Su Chen also felt it was time to move on to the next stage.

[After carrying branches for 2,500 years, you began your attempt to create a demon god.]

[Initially, you gathered the essence of the elements to create many powerful elemental life forms, allowing them to roam the continent.]

The appearance of powerful elemental lifeforms filled the people of Teyvat with panic, prompting them to pray to the heavens. You, seizing the opportune moment, granted the most outstanding among humanity the ability to wield elemental power, enabling them to lead humanity forward.

Five hundred years later, you observe humanity, understand the opportunities for interaction between people, gather the primal power of the 'contract,' and then fuse with rock elements to create the first powerful demon god.

Let's call it 'Morax'.

(According to the Records of Jueyun, Morax's true form was not Tianxing. When Tianxing fell, Lao Zhong was already born, but was still young.)

[After carrying branches for over three thousand years, the demon god Morax was born.]

When He descends, you suddenly realize...

"I actually managed to sculpt an old clock." Looking at the golden dragon soaring in the sky, seemingly joyful at its birth, Su Chen's expression turned strange.

"I absolutely mustn't let Morax see my human form..." Su Chen thought to himself.

He was already fed up with Wendy; he couldn't imagine what Old Zhong would be like if he found out that he was Tianli. His eyes would probably pop out of their sockets.

"Honorable Phanes, Creator of all things, thank you for bestowing life upon me." The golden dragon flew to the foot of the ancient tree and made a gesture of submission.

Su Chen said, "Morax, let's go down to the ground."

"May I ask, Your Excellency Faenes, what is my mission?"

"Your very existence is your mission."

Morax pondered for a moment and immediately understood the meaning of the sentence.

He was born from a contract. As long as there is interaction between people, there must be a contract. As the god of contracts, he must always maintain the fairness of contracts. Whenever the heavens fall, the contract must be fulfilled.

After pondering this, Morax bowed to Su Chen again in thanks, and then flew away from Sky Island.

“Won’t he disrupt the order on Earth?” Baal, the ruler of life, stood beside the ancient tree, looking in the direction Morax had left. “He is very powerful, stronger than any other being on Earth. He could break the balance at any time if he wanted to.”

Su Chen smiled faintly: "Don't worry, He won't do that. A demon god born of ideals will carry out those ideals to the end."

Baal looked puzzled. She didn't understand where Lord Fanes got such confidence. After all, ideology is ideology. Unless Morax's ideology was to protect humanity, there seemed to be no conflict between fulfilling the contract and ruling the mountain.

She was unaware of Su Chen's situation.

For 3,100 years, Morax has traversed the world, the strongest being on earth, capable of easily crushing anyone who passes by. Yet, he senses the emotions of these tiny humans, drawing power from the bonds between them, and resolves to protect them.

[Three thousand two hundred years later, Morax gathered a group of his people and taught them to mine ore for a living.]

"He is guiding mankind."

On Sky Island, the gods looked at Morax, a demon god who descended from the sky and was given life by Phanes himself. His existence was like that of a child of the sky, naturally attracting the attention of the gods.

“Lord Fanes is right,” Baal said upon witnessing all of this.

Asmodeus asked, "When did Master miss something?"

Morax's performance has not disappointed you. He is an excellent demon god and a wise pioneer. You have no intention of bringing him back. Considering the balance of power in the world, you have begun to continue the work of creating demon gods.

[However, this time you didn't slowly mold them one by one. Instead, you directly utilized the primal power of Teyvat, extracting a portion of power from various concepts and elements, then imbuing them with life, allowing them to slowly mature over time.]

Between 3,500 and 5,000 years ago, powerful demons and gods emerged one after another.

[After four thousand years of carrying branches, a meteorite fell from the sky.]

Boom! ——

A massive celestial star crashed down, creating a crater in the ground. Instantly, countless precious ores gushed out of the crater.

"what is that?!"

The gods on Sky Island watched with curiosity.

"An outsider from another world?"

"Wow, so much ore!"

"The God of Minerals?"

There seems to be some kind of aura inside.

Uh-huh! ——

Asmodeus vanished from Sky Island in a flash, only to reappear above the sinkhole.

At this time, countless humans also came upon hearing the news. Looking at the precious minerals, they thought they were a gift from heaven and knelt down outside the sinkhole.

Morax also arrived here. He gazed at the enormous celestial star and felt the rhythm of the earth's veins pulsating within it. Countless precious gems poured out from it, attracting the surrounding humans, but he immediately ordered that no one be allowed to touch them.

Morax looked up and saw Asmodeus hidden in the clouds. Upon seeing the latter, He immediately understood that this was not a 'gift' from the heavens, but rather an unexpected outsider.

"Everyone back off."

Morax transformed into a golden dragon and soared into the sky, hovering over the sinkhole.

In this world, the gods are the spokespeople of the heavens, and Morax is the demon god who walks the entire continent of Teyvat. His words are law, and no one dares to disobey him.

"Huh? A star fell from the sky?"

On the ancient tree, Su Chen opened his eyes, revealing a surprised expression.

A celestial star descended upon Teyvat, which he remembered was about five or six thousand years ago in real time.

Many people believe that the Deep Rock Abyss is the result of excessive mining by the Liyue people, but it is actually based on the impact of the planet Tianxing. Otherwise, how could the Liyue people have created such a deep pit?

“Master, Asmodeus has passed away.” Baal appeared under the ancient tree and said, “I see that this celestial star is not hostile to the world; perhaps we can recruit it.”

There was a certain aura within the celestial body, the result of life's creation. As the ruler of life, Baal could clearly sense it. The other party descended from the sky so openly and honestly; if they had harbored malice, they would have already caused turmoil.

Since it wasn't an intentional mistake, unnecessary fighting can be avoided.

After all, Teyvat is a land of etiquette; let's not resort to fighting and killing all the time.

"Tell her not to worry about it," Su Chen said calmly.

Tianxing will leave later and will not pose any threat to his order.

Baal asked in confusion, "Aren't you bringing Sky Island?"

"Need not."

Barr accepted the order and left.

[After four thousand years of continuous growth, a celestial star fell, and countless precious minerals gushed forth. Morax came to inquire whether it was permissible to mine the ore. Upon receiving permission, he immediately ordered his people to enter and mine.]

[The Celestial Star seems unconcerned about human approach; it remains in a state of slumber. As an entity within the universe, human time holds no meaning for it, nor does its very existence.]

You've developed some interest in Tianxing and decided to communicate with him, but when you arrive at the sinkhole, you're surprised to find that Morax is already communicating with Tianxing.

"He comes from beyond the world, a wondrous life form existing between heaven and earth," Morax said.

He can communicate briefly with Tianxing, but not much. You've also tried to communicate with Tianxing, but the latter doesn't seem to want to engage with you.

You sense that this celestial body is extremely special, and it faintly emanates a unique power. After years of research, you discover that this power is 'gravity'.

[In 4010, you began studying gravity.]

"Everything has gravity. When gravity is strong enough, even light cannot escape, and it can distort time and travel through the past and future." This is a scientific explanation, but Su Chen always felt that something was not quite right when discussing science in a world where gods exist.

In particular, he himself is the creator god of the Teyvat world.

However, there is a saying that "the end of science is theology," which can also be said to mean that theology is science.

Moreover, the power to travel through time and space through gravity is different from the laws of time. Even Ishtar can only use the power of time to influence time, but cannot truly travel through time. Furthermore, her power can only be used in the Teyvat world.

Therefore, the study of gravity is of great significance to you.

Of course, you don't have to study it, but it can be said that it will give Su Chen one more interesting thing to do during the long process of creation.

"I wonder if the Heavenly Principles of the past had ever studied celestial bodies..."

[Having carried branches for 4,100 years, you have gained a basic understanding of how to use gravity.]

[For four thousand three hundred years, you deduced the power of laws from the concept of gravity, attempting to integrate it into the power system of the Teyvat world. It took you three hundred years to finally re-establish the harmony of the power systems.]

[After 4,700 years of cultivating, Morax comprehended gravity and created the supernatural power 'Celestial Star'.]

"The heavens move in all things~~"

Boom! !

A huge golden meteorite fell, crashing to the ground with a deafening roar.

At that moment, it seemed as if a huge hole had been punched in the sky by a falling star.

Morax, now a golden figure, hovered in the air, quite satisfied with the power of his attack... one might even say somewhat surprised.

"you made it."

“Yes, Your Majesty Phanes.” Morax raised his head and looked at the figure bathed in the golden sunlight, the sublime Phanes, the creator of all things in Teyvat, and the omnipotent Lord.

If Su Chen hadn't integrated gravity into the power system of the Teyvat world, forming corresponding laws, Morax wouldn't have been able to truly comprehend the mysteries of the Celestial Star; at most, he could have created similar techniques.

It's not that Morax wasn't smart enough, but rather that the rules limited him, just like a lighter can't burn in a vacuum because it lacks air—it's the same principle.

"But there are still flaws."

After thinking for a moment, Su Chen flapped his wings and threw a ball of Law Enlightenment into Morax's body. These Enlightenment ...

With Morax's comprehension, he quickly realized the shortcomings in his understanding of the profound mysteries.

He is not as powerful as Fanes, but as a creation of the primordial beings, Morax's upper limit of strength is no lower than that of the four ruling powers. However, even if he comprehends the Rock Element Law to its fullest extent, he cannot surpass the level of the four ruling powers.
