Beneath the underground, in a cave illuminated by hundreds of gemstones, creating a kaleidoscope of myriad colors.
It was a scene capable of mending even the shattered souls, yet for some reasons, it had no effect on a certain fellow.
Rather…
"Oh no! No no no! Just what is happening!?!"
The view that he has seen. The way how the Dragon King created the Three Moons. All of it was laid upon his eyes.
As Zhongli gazed at the crystal that projects what is happening high above the clouds… his face contorts in horror.
"J-just… just what the hell? Creating three moons with just a flap of his wings…"
Zhongli shuddered at the mere thought of descending into such a place. With no system like cheats and no outside assistance, facing those monstrous figures left him utterly without hope.
"Also… how come he is this strong? If he is this strong, doesn't that mean…"
Zhongli dreaded what his outcome will be if things continued like this.
But still, what scared him the most is not the power that guy possesses, rather…
"I'm definitely in the early stage of the Era of Teyvat. I'm gonna die instantly if those monsters where to clash… Ughh… I should have really played the game. Because, if I had only played the game, my survival would definitely skyrocket…"
Zhongli sighed as he thought about his future. Still, he hardened his resolved and silently vowed to make sure that he becomes stronger, so that he can fend off for himself.
While vowing that to himself, he looked at the Rock Dragon with him and thought.
'So this is why this Dragon asked to become his successor. It's seems that the Archon War still haven't happen.'
He thought.
Zhongli nodded to himself, thinking that despite having little to no information about the plot, it seems like his existing knowledge can still be of use!
He was very confident of himself, not even knowing that his existing information has a lot of flaws…
As he was lost in his own thoughts, the Geo Dragon suddenly spoke.
"Let us meet the Three Moon Sisters."
Zhongli didn't even have a chance to speak as the dragon shove him up and put him on his back.
The dragon created a protective shield around them as he rammed through the cave walls above to reach the main land above.
"Ughhh… Slowdown will you? I have motion sickness…"
The Geo Dragon just rolled his eyes and retorted back to the Deity above him.
"Bear with it. And also, can you even get sick? You are a Deity, so stop complaining."
Zhongli wanted to fight back, but decided to stay silent.
It's not easy riding above you okay? Yours is too hard!
And yeah, he definitely do not want to say what is on his mind. It might bring greater shame on his face.
*BOOM!!*
After that, the duo finally got out. But still, the Geo Dragon didn't stop, rather… he prepared to jump and launch himself.
"Wait wait wait… don't tell me- Are you kidding me!?!?!!?"
The force was too strong.
The jump literally made a huge crater upon launching.
Not to mention going up so fast, Zhongli almost fell off if not for him having a pointed rock solid scale being his support.
The protective shield didn't support him against the impact.
The dragon, on the other hand, just just shook his head at the antics.
He, a Deity, that weak? Who are you fooling?
Little did the Geo Dragon know is that, Zhongli can't consciously control his body, after all, he just managed to wake up in this body. So as to not create chaos, he subconsciously limits his power output.
Regardless, he is not a weak Deity, it's just that his body subconsciously limits it's own. With a proper training, he will be able to dominate the local Deities!
Upon arriving at the outer space, Zhongli couldn't help but think how he can even breathe outside of the planet.
Though, on second thought, he is already a Deity, so maybe it has something to do with it?
He doesn't know. But what he knows is that he is very eager to meet the Three Moon Goddesses.
Although he saw the way they were born in real time, it doesn't come to close to having seen them in face to face, okay?!
As they approached the biggest moon of the three, a green serpentine dragon (or not), approached the two.
Curiosity lingering Zhongli's mind, he thought to himself.
'Is that… Supposed to be a dragon? Though, it's several times larger than my current master, the Geo Dragon. Its size is enough to coil even the tallest mountain.'
His eyes travelled at the gigantic serpentine like creature.
Though in his mind, rather than a Dragon…
Doesn't it look more like a weird Green Worm-Butterfly Hybrid?
The more he thought, the more that he felt that life does carry a bunch of surprises.
Meanwhile, as for the Green Serpentine Dragon. It glared back at Zhongli.
It naturally felt that Zhongli is thinking something rude about it,
Don't underestimate a woman's- I mean, a dragon's institution. It is much sharper than a dogs nose.
"Hmph! You actually let someone like this puny thing ride on your back? Hah! It seems you have gone senile! You crumbling rock!"
The Serpentine Dragon exclaimed with a mocking tone, clearly provoking the Geo Dragon.
The Geo Dragon on the other hand, just continued to float towards the Moon, like an asteroid that has gotten astray from its path.
Tch!
The green dragon was visibly annoyed when the turtle like dragon ignore it.
Still, he followed him and continued to bicker, or rather one sided ramble on and on, with a clear purpose of provoking the turtle dragon.
Even after they landed on one of the Moons, the other dragon was still yapping non-stop, trying to provoke the turtle like dragon.
Still, like an undeterred rock, he merely took a step forward while also tilting his head to the left, as if to tell the Deity to come down and step back.
Zhongli naturally followed his current master's order. He hopped down and took a few steps back, curious as to what his master was going to do.
It was then that the dragon was shrouded in energy.
He became smaller, taking a shape of a humanoid figure.
Zhongli was stunned, he didn't thought that his master would take a humanoid form in here!
Though, something was weird…
Why? Why is his master's figure seems… a little bit slender?
His suspicion grew bigger and bigger. And right there, his suspicion finally bore a fruit it was because…
"Ehh!? Master, not only can you transform into a humanoid form, but it is also a beautiful woman! Heh. Who would have thought of that with that voice of yours."
The woman with long black silky hair. Wearing deep black robe and occasional gold color motif, merely glared at the young man, clearly telling him to shut up.
Zhongli understood it, as he stopped spouting those words.
As for the Green Serpentine Dragon, it was…
It's mouth agape as if it could swallow the whole moon in one gulp.
No one knew how much he/she feels right now. After all, this guy or girl… the Geo Dragon… it is not the same dragon as he/she remembers!!
This dragon doesn't even want to transform to humanoid, and even if he or… she does, she transforms into a HE, not a girl version!! Just… Just what did happen!?!
The Green Serpentine Dragon was in distress.
Naturally, to them, the Dragon Sovereigns, it doesn't matter what gender they take since, they can shape their whole body in accordance to how they like it.
But… it's a bit different for their Humanoid form, since they usually just stick to one form, be it a male or female.
And of course, this also closes with the other dragons.
That's why… the green dragon… The Dendro Dragon Sovereign… was utterly speechless.
