Chapter 224 The History of Teyvat, Part 1
Hearing Kong joke about such a thing, Yan Li was furious and immediately started arguing.
"Stop! Don't get so worked up, okay? I'll tell you."
Immediately, Kong fell into deep reminiscence.

More than 10,000 years ago, the continent of Teyvat was divided into seven regions, each ruled by one of the seven ancient dragons, the supreme representatives of elemental creatures.
The children of the ancient dragons are all dragon lizards, and the differentiation of the seven elements is for better division of labor and cooperation to meet the needs of social development.
And so, all the dragon lizards in the various countries lived carefree lives under the rule of the elemental dragons...
until……
From the immaculate earth, an eggshell was conceived. When the eggshell broke, the primordial god Phanes was born!
Legend has it that when Phanes appeared on the continent of Teyvat, he created four shadows and launched a war against the dragons on the land.
To protect the safety of their people, under the leadership of Nibelungen, the King of the Light Elemental Dragons, the seven ancient dragons began to unite and launch a counterattack.
Ultimately, after more than forty years of struggle, the ancient dragons suffered a crushing defeat, and the dragon race faded from view, hiding in the shadows. From then on, Fanes began to rule the continent of Teyvat.
Then, Fanes wrapped the continent of Teyvat in an eggshell to isolate it from all the laws of the universe.
To create a beautiful world, Phanes used his supreme divine power to construct mountains, rivers, flowers, trees, and humans, endowed with basic intelligence.
Under Phanes's careful management, human life became very happy.
When humanity is poor, mineral deposits will appear on the earth out of nowhere; when humanity is hungry, food will fall from the sky.
In order to spread knowledge and culture, Phanes released many celestial beings into the mortal realm, leading humanity toward wisdom.
For thousands of years, human civilization has been repeatedly destroyed and reborn, a phenomenon known as the eternal cycle.
Just as Fanes was looking with satisfaction at the peaceful world under his rule, Nibelungen suddenly returned to Teyvat with dark power from beyond the world and launched a revenge against Fanes.
Although Fanes eventually managed to defeat it, cracks appeared in the eggshell at the edge of the world, and the power of the abyss then seeped into Teyvat, slowly settling and developing.
Just then... the second throne descended from the sky and launched an attack on the first throne, Phanes.
At this very moment, the Year of Burial by Fire has officially begun!
Above the sky, the two thrones fought each other with all their might, causing the heavens and earth to tremble and split. The battle raged from the starry sky until daylight, from early spring to deep winter, and from…
until……
Ultimately, one of the thrones fell, while the other was too weakened to continue maintaining world order.
As the continent of Teyvat was affected by the power of the two thrones, the entire world was on the verge of collapse.
To save the world, Tenri shattered his power into fragments and scattered them across the world, while simultaneously reversing time and space to revive the Teyvat continent, which was on the verge of collapse.
In order to cover up the truth that the principles of Heaven have been lost, the Keeper of Heaven, one of the Four Shadows, began to take charge of the work of Heaven and maintain the order of the world.
At the same time, the fragments of Heavenly Principle scattered across the mortal world transformed into various deities. The gods in the human world each resided in their own place, and none of them would attack the others.
However, in order to consolidate their rule, the Keepers of Heaven had no choice but to wage a war between demons and gods, demanding that all the gods fight each other, and in the end, only seven survivors could rule the seven kingdoms.
