Chapter 1 – Reborn in Teyvat: Starting by Challenging Morax

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

Even the sky changed with the transformation of the qi, alternating between white and black. Golden lotuses bloomed across the heavens and earth, and a sacred aura evolved within this realm, as if celebrating the birth of something.

“No way, I’ve transmigrated? Wasn’t I just playing Genshin Impact? And why have I become a mass of qi? What use is this? Among all transmigrators, none are as unlucky as me, Qiu Bai, right?”

Suddenly, he recalled something that happened before he lost consciousness, especially the words he had shouted.

“I’m willing to trade fifty years of my life for one Zhongli.”

“Then came the scene of getting six golds in a single ten-pull. Ugh~ So, I’ve used up my lifespan and transmigrated?”

Good grief, those six golds must have cost me at least three hundred years of life.

Thinking of this, Qiu Bai’s lips twitched uncontrollably, even though he didn’t have a mouth.

“Ding-dong! The Teyvat’s Strongest Demon God System requests to bind with the host!”

“Will the host bind with the system?”

“Huh? Teyvat? I’ve transmigrated into the world of Genshin Impact?

And this Strongest Demon God System—does that mean I’m now a Demon God?”

But that doesn’t seem right either, Qiu Bai thought irritably. What kind of Demon God is just a mass of qi?

“Well, since I can’t move anyway, having a system to keep me company isn’t so bad. The world of Genshin Impact, hehehe~ My waifus, I’m coming!”

If Qiu Bai had a mouth, he’d probably be drooling by now.

“Bind!”

“Host binding successful! Open host interface?”

“Open!”

Host: Qiu Bai

Status: Formed from the Yin-Yang Dual Qi between heaven and earth, born of nature, Body of Creation.

Identity: Demon God Morpheus (Progress: 94%, estimated to be born in three hundred years)

Seeing this identity, Qiu Bai couldn’t hold back.

“So it really is three hundred years of life! I have to endure here for three hundred years!”

He felt like crying but had no tears. As a mass of qi, he couldn’t even cry.

“Ding-dong! Host, you have a Newbie Gift Pack. Will you claim it?”

Qiu Bai exclaimed excitedly in his mind.

“There’s even a Newbie Gift Pack! Claim it!”

“Congratulations, host! You have obtained a strand of Qi of Fortune. Using it will allow you to be born ahead of time!”

“System, you’re my savior! You give me exactly what I need. If you were a girl, I’d marry you!”

Qiu Bai was so excited he almost cried.

System…

“Use the Qi of Fortune!”

Qiu Bai felt an extraordinary warmth, as if something had entered his body.

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

“Why is it so hot? Kamisato waifu, mischievous fox, Ei, Acting Grand Master Jean, Ningguang, Sara, Eula, the Sev…”

Before he could finish the thought, Qiu Bai’s consciousness gradually blurred, and he fell into a deep slumber.

At this moment, in the outside world, the Yin-Yang Dual Qi continued to expand. Purple qi surged wildly between heaven and earth, and golden lotuses and purple qi poured into the dual qi.

They formed a Bagua Diagram, its Yin and Yang flashing wildly. The sky became indistinguishable between black and white, with lightning and thunder, until finally, a human figure took shape. Only then did the celestial phenomena in the sky gradually fade.

A closer look revealed a youth of about eighteen or nineteen, with ink-black hair cascading over ink-white robes, spotlessly clean.

His face was as gentle as jade, his light blue eyes elegant and serene like the starry midnight sky. He stood about 1.85 meters tall.

Hanging from his waist was a Yin-Yang Taiji Diagram the size of a Vision, emitting a brilliant glow.

At this moment, Qiu Bai felt refreshed and invigorated, clearly sensing the surrounding grass and the gentle breeze brushing against him.

Qiu Bai opened his eyes to a vast landscape of mountains, rivers, forests, and vegetation—everything felt deeply comforting to him.

“Having eyes truly feels wonderful. I think I can understand Azhdaha now,” Qiu Bai said with a joyful expression.

“System, open the host interface!”

Host: Qiu Bai

Age: 4,000 years

Identity: Demon God Morpheus (born from the Yin-Yang Dual Qi)

Current Gender: Male

Divine Power: Spatial Teleportation, Flight, Yin-Yang Avatar.

Demon God Authority: Power of Yang: Purification, Healing, Restoration of Life; Power of Yin: Destruction, Annihilation, Cursing of Life.

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

“Is this the power of a Demon God? It’s overwhelmingly strong. The Yin-Yang Avatar is a bit difficult to grasp, though.”

After pondering for a long time, Qiu Bai slightly closed his eyes. The Yin-Yang Dual Qi separated from within him, forming two avatars identical to himself. The one dressed in black was born from Yin Qi, with the Yin symbol of the Two Polarities hanging at his waist.

The other, dressed in white, was naturally born from Yang Qi, with the Yang symbol of the Two Polarities at his waist. However, the black-clad Qiu Bai had a cold and indifferent gaze, while the white-clad Qiu Bai’s eyes were gentle and warm. (The avatars only appear when the protagonist is in battle.)

“The strength of these two avatars is roughly half of my own. Interesting. But I really am handsome—I wonder how many young ladies will suffer because of me in the future,” Qiu Bai remarked, stroking his chin as he observed the two avatars.

Retracting the avatars back into his body as dual qi, Qiu Bai crouched down to test the Power of Yang.

“If all living beings count, then plants and trees should be considered living beings too.”

Qiu Bai shot out a flame, reducing the grass to ashes, then released Yang Qi.

As the white Yang Qi infused the area of ashes, the ashes seemed to reverse time, restoring the grass to its vibrant, lively state.

“So that’s how it is. If I were to restore a living being now, reviving a Demon God of the same level would require me to sleep for centuries,” Qiu Bai muttered to himself as he stood up.

“But where am I now?”

Qiu Bai flew into the sky to survey the terrain.

In the distance, a fierce storm raged, floods poured down, and houses and trees were swept away. A massive creature resembling both a qilin and a goat carried civilians on its back, accompanied by two enormous cranes.

Qiu Bai’s pupils contracted. “Isn’t this the scene of the Guili Assembly relocating back to Liyue Harbor, escorted by Adepti? This is Liyue from a thousand years ago.”

“Old… friend, I’ve never seen you before.”

A deep, steady voice sounded behind Qiu Bai.

“When did he—?!”

Qiu Bai turned around and swiftly retreated.

“I didn’t sense him at all. When did he get so close?”

When Qiu Bai’s gaze fell upon the figure before him, he froze.

The person before him exuded an aura of divinity, steadiness, authority, and approachability. His attire was incredibly dashing.

Indeed, standing in the same sky as Qiu Bai was the God of Rock, one of The Seven Archons—Morax.

“There’s no need to be nervous, friend. I was merely curious. You and I are not enemies,” Morax said, looking at Qiu Bai with slight surprise.

“Zhongli?!”

Qiu Bai thought to himself, on the verge of tears, recalling the culprit behind his gacha-induced sudden death.

Morax observed Qiu Bai’s peculiar expression with confusion.

“Friend, my name is Morax.”

“I can sense that the power within you seems quite pure, unlike that of the Demon Gods from the time of the Archon War.”

Morax stroked his chin and spoke calmly.

“I am a newly born Demon God, born from the Yin-Yang Dual Qi between heaven and earth, nurtured for thousands of years before I could emerge.”

Qiu Bai answered the question of the person very seriously. After all, the one standing before him was none other than Rex Lapis, the pinnacle of The Seven.

At this moment, a bold idea arose in Qiu Bai’s heart—he wanted to spar with the person before him. Having just been born, he wasn’t entirely sure of the extent of his own power.

“Friend, I’d like to test my Divine Power. I’ve only just emerged and am not fully aware of my own strength. Would you be willing to have a match with me?”

On the surface, Qiu Bai appeared calm, but inwardly, he was panicking. This was the Geo Archon—what if he accidentally killed him in a moment of carelessness?

“The power of a Demon God is immense. Even the weakest among them can alter the very landscape.”

“However, we can indeed have a match. Consider it a way for you to familiarize yourself with your power.”

Morax looked at Qiu Bai and said with a smile.
