[Ding~ You have obtained the new template 'Abyss·Order'.]
...
P.S.: Sorry for posting so late. I'm feeling dizzy. Sigh, this part of the story has been incredibly difficult to write lately. The setting is actually complete, but the plot is hard to fill in. I spent the whole day writing and deleting, sitting from morning till night, and only managed to write 5,000 words. There's just too little information about the Abyss, so I can't capture that feeling at all. I can only make sure it moves towards the intended outcome. Sigh~ Anyway, the creation story is almost finished. Returning to reality will be much more fun.

Cold and shaky.
After his soul merged into the abyss, Su Chen felt waves of frantic emotions surging into his mind, and uncontrollable negative emotions exploded outwards in an instant!
this moment.
The abyssal power of the entire Teyvat continent seemed to be drawn together, surging in the same direction the moment the abyssal will was born. The surge of energy stirred up a tidal wave on the continent, and the demons all turned their heads, revealing horrified looks.
"The Abyss has been resurrected?!"
"Go and report to Lord Fanes immediately!"
Having experienced hundreds of years of abyssal wars, no one knew the horrors of the abyss better than these surviving demons, so when this commotion broke out, they immediately took action.
"Owner!"
Asmodeus approached the ancient tree with a serious expression, about to report the situation, when he suddenly sensed that Su Chen's condition was very abnormal.
After the battle in the abyss, Su Chen's strength was greatly reduced due to the Clear Sky Slab. In addition, the pain he endured after splitting his soul in two was unimaginable.
"Asmodeus."
With his eyes closed, he perched atop the ancient tree and said in a tired, hoarse voice, "Let them not be alarmed, nor need they concern themselves with anything."
Asmodeus asked worriedly, "Master, what happened?"
She could sense that Su Chen's aura was extremely weak at that moment.
"With me here, Teyvat will be safe."
"And your health..."
Asmodeus was more concerned about Su Chen's situation than Teyvat's safety.
She was created by Phanes and given the responsibility of managing Teyvat, serving as its steward. But for Asmodeus, Phanes' presence was what gave her value.
Su Chen did not answer.
Seeing this, Asmodeus waited outside the ancient tree, conveying his master's will to the demons who came to inquire about the situation, while also fulfilling his duty as a bodyguard.
The commotion in the abyss lasted for nearly half a month before it stopped. Once everything settled down, Su Chen's mental anguish gradually subsided.
At this moment, his vision was split in two.
On one side is the principle of Heaven and order.
On one side lies the abyss and order.
"The Abyss... I never expected it to actually succeed."
Su Chen's consciousness was still somewhat hazy, but he was still able to think clearly. It was originally an attempt to break the eternal deadlock, and he had even prepared for failure, but he did not expect to succeed.
"However, my power is constantly weakening."
Although the Abyss is also himself, because the existence of the Abyss's will is destructive and contradicts the meaning of Teyvat's order, the stronger the Abyss's power, the weaker the power of the natural order.
The two sides are in a state of opposition.
The difference is that when the power of the abyss becomes strong enough, order completely collapses, and Teyvat is destroyed as a result.
No matter how powerful the natural order may be, the abyss, as a manifestation of the selection mechanism, will never disappear in the universe.
Su Chen was certain that the Heavenly Order in reality had never gone to such lengths as he had, transforming himself into the will of the abyss to control the coming collapse. This was inherently dangerous and absurd, but precisely because of this, the Heavenly Order, which had been severely damaged in the great war, gradually weakened as the abyss gradually recovered, and eventually even the Seven Gods could not suppress it, leaving only the loyal steward still serving Sky Island.
"This might be a new possibility, but it won't change the future much..."
Su Chen thought to himself.
Since the change is on the side of the abyss, it should not have a significant impact on the natural order.
Of course, this is on the premise that he remains silent for the time to come, falling into a deep sleep like the abyss of reality.
This is not difficult.
Young people can easily fall asleep as soon as their heads hit the pillow.
However, after losing his complete state, Su Chen found it difficult to maintain order on the Teyvat continent with his own power. Even without the threat of the Abyss's will, there were always some beings who were unwilling to be ruled by the laws of nature, such as the dragons who were defeated in the great war, and those who tried to extract the power from beyond the world.
To prevent these entities from threatening order, he needs to create an institution under the rule of God to manage Teyvat in his stead.
Otherwise, if this situation continues, the power of the natural order will become weaker and weaker, while the opposing abyss will gradually become stronger, and he will eventually be killed by 'himself'.
[Having carried branches for 5,700 years, your soul split into Heavenly Principle and the Abyss, and you called this year the Year of Burial in Fire.]
[In the first year of the Burial Fire era, you began planning the War of Demons and Gods, preparing to establish a system of seven gods.]
[But you had no clue about the materials needed to create the Heart of God, until one day, a gigantic corpse drifted in from beyond the universe.]
"Master, what...is this?!"
From the sky above, Asmodeus stared in shock at the corpses floating above Teyvat.
What a body this is! It is enormous and mysterious, ancient and decaying. Even in its fallen state, it still exudes a powerful aura. Gazing upon it, one's eyes are drawn in, and one's mind is captivated.
Su Chen was also curiously observing.
He sensed a very faint life force emanating from the corpse.
With a sense of urgency, he used his spiritual power to probe the past and asked, "Stranger from the universe, who are you?"
As it turned out, the remaining soul on the corpse actually responded.
"I am... I have forgotten who I am. I came from the universe and have wandered for countless years. I am so tired now. Can I rest at your house for a while?"
The spirit on the corpse was a sphere emitting a faint light.
Su Chen felt strange. The corpse was talking? This feeling was quite subtle, mainly because of the other party's identity—a being from the depths of the universe that he couldn't understand. Could this guy have been beaten to death on his way to a trip?
However, it seems much more reliable than the Abyss.
So Su Chen hesitated for a moment before agreeing to the other party's request.
When the enormous corpse fell from the sky, many demons living on the continent noticed it, but they stopped paying attention after seeing Fanes appear.
Su Chen led the body to Sky Island.
Surprisingly, he thought the other party's presence would cause the Teyvat power system to reject it, but he found that nothing unusual happened.
"What a warm feeling. I haven't felt this way in a long time. It's like basking in gentle sunlight... The seven children here are gently stroking me. Phanes, did you create them?"
"The unknown ball of light asked."
"Seven children?" Su Chen pondered for a moment, then discovered that the seven elements were actually surrounding the other party on their own. Even without any deliberate guidance, this corpse seemed to have an innate ability to attract elemental power.
"These are the seven forces that originally existed in the world. I improved them, and that's how the world became what it is today."
"So that's how it is. This power warms my heart. In my fragmented memories, I vaguely recall that there were also these adorable elves in the place where I was born... Sigh~ I'm so lonely, boohoo~~"
Su Chen and Asmodeus: "..."
"Do you understand? I am so lonely. I don't know where to go. The darkness of the universe terrifies me. I never want to go back to those cold places again."
Sorrow spread, and even the corpses wept. Then, a vast amount of water elementals gathered and fell from the Sky Island.
A torrential downpour began.
Ah this.
"Asmodeus, you can go now," Su Chen said.
"Yes, Master."
Seeing that the guy posed no threat, Asmodeus accepted the order and left.
"Waaaaah~ I'm so sad, so heartbroken. I want to go home, but I don't know where my home is. Fanes, I can't go back... Waaaaah~" The ball of light cried louder and louder.
Terrifying water elemental energy erupted from the corpses, and at that moment even Sky Island was engulfed in a great flood.
Su Chen's lips twitched slightly, and he said in a low voice, "Alright, if you keep going like this, my house will be flooded!"
"...Oh, I'm sorry, Fanes, I'm just... just a little sad."
"I see it."
“Do you know? For thousands of years, I was surrounded by darkness. I passed through one civilization after another, and none of them welcomed me as warmly as you have.”
No, I'm actually not that enthusiastic...
“I never expected that this place would have the feel of my hometown. Fanes, I really like it here.”
If you were alive and said these words to me, I would definitely kill you... Su Chen smiled and said, "If you like, you can stay here for a while."
“I want to live here forever,” the ball of light said.
Su Chen: "..."
"What I mean is, I am already dead, and this remnant of my soul will soon die as well."
"Soon? How long is that?"
"If all goes well, I will be completely dead within a thousand years at most."
Suddenly feeling a pang of emotion, Su Chen asked, "Is there no way to save him?"
“Fanes, my good friend, you are such a kind person.”
Su Chen shook his head inwardly, speechless at the word "friend". He wanted to save the other person not because of the so-called friendship, after all, they had only known each other for a short time. It was purely because this guy posed some threat to Teyvat, and if possible, he might be able to recruit him.
But that seems unlikely now.
This corpse was like a nebula. Su Chen even doubted whether it was a normal life form. The universe is vast and full of wonders. Any kind of life could exist.
"A thousand years... Perfect, you'd better think of a way for me."
You let the other person stay, and for convenience, you gave them the name 'Tuanzi'. Tuanzi resisted this name and clearly told you, 'This Tuanzi will never accept such an unrespecting name.'
[A hundred years after the Burial of Fire, you learned from Tuanzi's fragmented memories about the space beyond the stars. It was a universe where the will of the abyss was omnipresent, and chaotic collapse was occurring everywhere. Tuanzi tried hard to recall, and one morning in a certain year, she remembered that the reason for the destruction of her homeland was the erosion caused by the power of the abyss.]
Then Teyvat was flooded again.
