Somewhere in the mountains of Teyvat, a swirling mass of pure energy floated in the air. The energy constantly shifted—one moment pure white, the next an inky black.
Even the sky mirrored its transformation, alternating between light and darkness. Golden lotuses blossomed across the land, sacred energy filling the air, as if celebrating the birth of something extraordinary.
"No way... I actually transmigrated?! Wasn't I just playing Genshin Impact? But more importantly, why did I reincarnate as a mass of energy? What the hell can I even do like this? Of all the transmigrators, isn't my situation the most tragic?"
Suddenly, he recalled what had happened before he lost consciousness—especially the last words he had shouted:
"I'd trade fifty years of my life for Zhongli!"
Then, the vivid memory of his ten-pull with six golden stars flashed before his eyes.
"Hiss—so… did I actually trade away my entire lifespan? And that's how I ended up transmigrating?"
Damn it, just those six golden pulls alone must have cost him at least 300 years of lifespan!
Thinking about it made Qiu Bai nonexistent mouth twitch. If he had a face, he'd definitely be grimacing.
Just then, a mechanical voice echoed in his mind:
[Ding-dong! The 'Strongest Archon System' of Teyvat requests to bind with the host!]
[Would you like to bind with the system?]
"Wait, what?! Teyvat? I really did transmigrate into the world of Genshin Impact?!"
"And this 'Strongest Archon System'... does that mean I'm an Archon now?"
...Something didn't add up. What kind of Archon is just a floating mass of energy?!
Still, he couldn't move anyway, so having a system to keep him company didn't seem like a bad idea.
"Genshin world, huh… Heh, heh, heh… Wives, here I come!"
If he had a mouth, he'd probably be drooling right now.
"Bind!"
[Binding successful! Would you like to open the host status interface?]
"Open!"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Host : Qiu Bai]
Status : Manifestation of Yin-Yang energy, born of heaven and earth, a body of creation.
Identity : Archon Morcius (Progress: 94% – Estimated full birth in 300 years)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Upon seeing his "identity," Qiu Bai completely broke down.
"So it really is 300 years… Damn it! I have to float around like this for three whole centuries?!"
If he had a face, he'd be crying right now. But since he was just a cloud of energy, he couldn't even shed tears.
Just then, the system chimed again:
[Ding-dong! Host has received a Starter Gift Pack! Would you like to claim it?]
Qiu Bai's entire consciousness trembled with excitement.
"A starter pack?! Hell yes! Claim it!"
[Congratulations! You have received a wisp of 'Fortune Qi'! Using it will allow you to be born ahead of schedule!]
Qiu Bai was overwhelmed with joy.
"System, you're my freaking savior! You always deliver exactly what I need! If you were a girl, I'd marry you on the spot!"
If he had a body, he'd probably be crying tears of happiness right now.
System : …
"Use Fortune Qi!"
A surge of warmth enveloped Qiu Bai, as if something was fusing into his very being.
His body expanded, growing larger and hotter by the second. The heat intensified—like flames burning inside him.
"Why is it so hot? Kamisato waifu… that sly fox… Raiden Ei… Jean… Ningguang… Kujou Sara… Eula… Qi—" (T/N: Hold up ?! FBI CAPTURE HIM!!!!!!)
Before he could finish his thoughts, his consciousness blurred, and he fell into a deep slumber.
Meanwhile, in the outside world
The swirling Yin-Yang energy continued to grow, with torrents of violet energy flooding the skies. Golden lotuses and purple mist surged into the swirling mass of energy.
A Taiji (Yin-Yang) symbol took shape in the air, constantly flashing between black and white as thunder roared across the heavens.
Then, at the height of the celestial disturbance—a humanoid figure emerged.
Only after this figure fully formed did the chaotic phenomenon in the sky gradually subside.
The figure resembled an 18 or 19-year-old youth with long, jet-black hair cascading down his white-and-black robes, which remained spotless and pristine.
His face was smooth and elegant, like polished jade. His light blue eyes gleamed softly, like a tranquil midnight sky, exuding both nobility and gentleness.
Standing at approximately 185 cm tall, he carried a glowing Taiji symbol on his waist, the size of a Vision, radiating a brilliant aura.
As Qiu Bai opened his eyes, he felt a clarity like never before. The gentle breeze, the swaying grass, the rivers and mountains before him—all of it felt so vivid and real.
"Having eyes again feels incredible…"
He let out a joyful sigh, stretching his hands as he took in the Teyvat landscape before him.
"I think I finally understand how Azhdaha felt."
With a bright smile, he gave his first command:
"System, open the Host Status Interface!"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Host : Qiu Bai]
Age : 4,000 years
Identity : Archon Morcius (Manifestation of Yin-Yang Energy)
Gender : Male
Divine Abilities : Spatial Teleportation, Flight, Yin-Yang Avatar Manifestation
Archon Authority :
Power of Yang : Purification, Healing, Restoration of Life
Power of Yin : Destruction, Annihilation, Curses
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Qiu Bai clenched his fist, feeling an overwhelming strength coursing through his body.
"So this… is the power of an Archon? Unbelievable…!"
He gazed at his third ability, Yin-Yang Avatar Manifestation, and frowned slightly.
"That one's a little tricky to understand…"
Closing his eyes, Yin and Yang energy separated from his body, forming two identical clones of himself.
The Black-Clad Qiu Bai was formed from Yin Energy and carried the Yin half of the Taiji symbol. His eyes were cold and indifferent.
The White-Clad Qiu Bai was formed from Yang Energy and carried the Yang half of the Taiji symbol. His eyes were gentle and warm.
(Note: These avatars only appear during combat.)
Qiu Bai stroked his chin, observing the two.
"Each avatar seems to have half of my total strength…"
Then, with a smug grin, he mused:
"Damn, I really am handsome… Wonder how many girls will fall for me now?"
He reabsorbed the two avatars back into his body and squatted down, ready to test his Power of Yang.
"If all living things count as life, then plants should qualify too, right?"
With a casual flick of his hand, a burst of fire reduced a patch of grass to ashes.
Then, he extended his palm and released Yang Energy
A stream of white Yang energy flowed into the ashes, and in an instant, as if time had reversed, the charred remains transformed back into lush thriving grass.
"So that's how it works… Right now, if I want to restore a living being, reviving a god of my level would cost me hundreds of years of slumber," Qiu Bai muttered to himself as he stood up.
"But… where exactly am I?"
Qiu Bai soared into the sky, surveying the land below.
In the distance, fierce winds and torrential rain ravaged the land. Floodwaters surged through villages, sweeping away houses and trees. A massive beast resembling both a qilin and a goat carried civilians on its back, while two enormous cranes flanked it.
Qiu Bai pupils contracted. "Isn't this the migration of Guili Assembly to Liyue Harbor? The time when the Adepti protected the people? That means this is Liyue, a thousand years ago!"
At that moment, a deep and steady voice spoke from behind him.
"Old… friend, I don't believe we've met before."
"When did he—?!"
Qiu Bai spun around and retreated at lightning speed.
"I didn't sense anything at all… When did he get so close?"
When Qiu Bai finally laid eyes on the figure before him, he froze.
The man exuded a divine presence—calm, authoritative, and dignified, yet approachable. His attire was elegant, exuding an air of unmatched sophistication.
There was no mistaking him.
Standing across from Qiu Bai, in the same sky, was none other than the God of Geo, Morax, one of the Seven Archons.
"You need not be alarmed, my friend," Morax said, his expression calm yet curious. "I was merely intrigued. We are not enemies."
Qiu Bai mind was in turmoil.
"Zhongli!? The very reason I died pulling for his banner!?"
Morax observed Qiu Bai odd expression with a hint of curiosity.
"My friend, I am Morax" he introduced himself. "I sense a pure power within you, one unlike the gods who have fought in the Archon War."
He rubbed his chin, his golden eyes studying Qiu Bai intently.
Qiu Bai, regaining his composure, answered seriously, "I am a newly born god, born from the Yin and Yang energies of heaven and earth. After being nurtured for thousands of years, I have only just emerged."
He wasn't about to joke around—this was Morax, the strongest Archon!
A bold idea formed in Qiu Bai mind.
Since he had just been reborn, he had no clear grasp of his own strength. The best way to test it was a battle.
"Lord Morax" Qiu Bai spoke with a steady tone, though his heart was pounding. "I would like to test my divine strength. I have just been born, and I do not yet understand the extent of my power. Would you be willing to spar with me?"
Outwardly, he maintained his composure. Internally, he was panicking.
"This is the God of War! What if he accidentally kills me!?"
Morax gazed at him thoughtfully.
"A god's strength is immense. Even the weakest of gods can reshape the land."
After a pause, Morax lips curled into a slight smile.
"However, we may have a friendly match. It will help you grow accustomed to your power."
