READ NOVEL ONLINE Chapter 1: I, the Geo Archon Morax with 2.1 Billion Mora, Have Joined a Chat Group [1]
On the very first day of his transmigration, Morax encountered the one who called herself his master.
"Who are you? To approach me unnoticed—impressive."
"Oh? Parentless, a child of heaven and earth, unrooted in the fabric of this world? Fascinating... truly fascinating."
The woman before him was a vision of divine beauty, her features ethereal, as though sculpted by the hands of the heavens. She floated amidst the clouds with an air of unassailable grace, her voice clear as a mountain spring, her demeanor both elegant and commanding.
Yet Morax felt no fear.
After all, he possessed the [Multiverse Chat Group] system.
In his mind, transmigration was no accident; it was destiny. He was the protagonist of this world, chosen to bear the weight of the heavens, surpass all others, and ascend as the supreme existence.
"With me, Morax, the heavens endure. Beneath me, all else pales to insignificance."
So, even when this strange "bird-woman" forcibly took him as her disciple, he didn't mind. He would simply endure the humiliation for now.
Once the system was fully activated, he swore to obliterate this "bird-woman," reducing her to dust, condemning her soul to unending torment in Avici Hell, and pinning her spirit to the Wall of Pain for all eternity—all to repay the humiliation of kneeling before her today.
Incidentally, the so-called "bird-woman" came with a built-in cloudy mosaic below her waist, rendering any attempt to sneak a glimpse of the "heavens" utterly pointless.

[Year 1]
At her insistence, Morax planted rice. He endured.
---
[Year 2]
Still tending to the rice fields. He endured.
---
[Year 3]
Transitioned to quinoa. The system remained unresponsive. He endured.
---
[Year 10]
Now tending to soybeans. The system remained silent.
"System, respond at once. Are you operational, or have you fallen into silence?"

"Enough. Very well. I shall endure."
"At the very least, this bird-woman has tasked me with nothing more than farming. Once my system awakens, I may yet grant her mercy. Perhaps she could serve a purpose within the grand order under my domain—though such decisions are best weighed with time and care."
"Admittedly, her appearance is not without merit."
"An observation: this bird-woman flusters remarkably easily when I refer to her as a chopping board. A curious reaction, and one that offers a fleeting moment of amusement."
---
[Year 30]
Still tending the fields—quinoa, soybeans, rice. Tasks that once demanded three years were now completed within one, a testament to his ever-growing mastery of the Geo Element.
The system? Unchanged. Silent.
"The bird-woman, to her credit, has finally mastered the art of cooking this year. She even managed to prepare the rice properly. A small victory."
"Oh, and one more thing—remarkably, I haven't aged a single day in these thirty years."
---
[Year 60]
He kept cats to ward off rats, dogs to safeguard the fields, pigs for sustenance, and oxen to haul carts. Over time, peculiar wanderers began gathering nearby, seeking to learn from him.
The system? Still dormant.
"She pays them no mind, and neither do I. As long as they leave me in peace, they may do as they wish."
---
[Year 90]
More people arrived, and together they unearthed ore, forging iron tools. These innovations allowed them to cultivate new fields and ease the constant fear of starvation.
"The bird-woman appears to have taken a liking to these people. So be it. Women often gravitate toward novelty and intrigue."

[Year 300]
As the population grew, livable space became scarce. He proposed they migrate to new lands—there was ample territory beyond this place, enough to avoid the hardships of hunger and cold.
"I decided to give the bird-woman a name: Qingyun. It suits her—she is, after all, a bird. Qingyun seems deeply fond of these beings called 'humans,' though I remain indifferent. Once, I too was human, but 300 years of farming have shaped me into something beyond—a being untouched by time. Still, since she holds them dear, perhaps I should lend a hand."
"To begin with, language is a tool they will find invaluable."
---
[Year 600]
Three hundred miles west of Qingyun Peak flowed a mighty river, its waters ruled by a demon named Bi'an, who preyed upon migrating humans. The adepti Qingyun descended from the heavens, subduing the beast and restoring peace to the land.
"Qingyun hurried off again to handle matters. That catfish demon, Bi'an, thought it could catch her off guard—foolish. Qingyun isn't some feeble six-hundred-year-old recluse. She evaded its ambush with ease and sent it hurtling into the abyss."
"Even so, I should caution her. While she's formidable, this continent holds beings even mightier. Humans migrating through these lands must steer clear of stronger demons, gods, and adepti, not to mention the territories they protect."
---
[Year 900]
Human civilization thrived, spreading across a thousand miles. In their homeland, they founded a city and named it Liyue, a tribute to the adepti who had safeguarded them for a thousand years.
"A thousand years passed as swiftly as a fleeting breath. Qingyun has remained by my side through it all, tirelessly aiding others. She may be endlessly busy, but I know she has a kind heart."
"Very well. She tends to the world beyond, and I keep to my fields. Though, last time, I inadvertently cultivated a Geo Element Hypostasis. I wonder what peculiar thing I'll grow next?"

[Year 1500]
The boundaries of farming and mastery over the Geo Element had been fully explored. He spent two centuries attempting to grasp other elements but met with failure. At last, drawing upon memories from his previous world, he devised a new force and named it gravity.
"Qingyun has been even more restless lately. As a 'god,' she should remain steadfast in her domain, yet she constantly roams. Still, since her heart is set on protecting these 'humans,' I'll allow it. When she tires of wandering, she'll return on her own."
---
[Year 2000]
Three centuries after the founding of Liyue, demon gods prowled the mountains, and sea monsters churned the oceans into chaos. The adepti Qingyun, moved by humanity's plight, waged relentless battles to slay demon gods, vanquish sea serpents, and unite allies in defense of the human race.
"The Ultimate Edition of Farming to Grow Strong, So Perfect It'll Be Canceled If Edited Again has already brought my training to its zenith. Any further farming would merely refine techniques I've long since mastered. My research into gravity, however, progresses swiftly—yet something still feels... amiss. Perhaps it's tied to the stars of this sky. No matter, for now."
"And as for this so-called 'Supreme God of Celestia'..."

[Year 2200]
Humanity flourished across the vast expanse of Liyue, building cities, establishing rituals, crafting writing systems, and chronicling their history. This thriving civilization became the pride of the land, known as Liyue.
Fearing Liyue's growing strength and influence, a coalition of demon gods and rogue adepti conspired in secret. Their aim was to eliminate Qingyun and obliterate the foundation of humanity's cultural and spiritual legacy.
"So, they've chosen to band together at last. Though they are nothing more than rabble, Qingyun may struggle against such overwhelming numbers. It seems I must intervene."
---
[Year 2300]
The Geo Archon Morax, alongside the three-eyed, five-manifestation adepti, answered Qingyun's call and departed from Liyue Harbor. Together, they vanquished the demon gods and sea serpents, forged oaths of peace, and ushered in an era of calm and prosperity for the land.
In the aftermath, they founded the nation of Liyue, with Morax crowned as the God of War, guardian of all under the heavens within its borders. The adepti pledged to protect the nation in harmony.
"Watching Qingyun weep so gracefully, tears streaming down her face—it was a rare and striking sight. Yet, I would rather not see her too distraught. That's why I summoned the adepti I had already gathered—those weary of the world's chaos—to help build a more peaceful Liyue."
"As for the so-called 'Supreme of Celestia,' the Gnosis, and that floating island… all of it is intriguing, undeniably so. But there's no urgency. My mastery of gravity has already transcended the boundaries of this world."
"The floating island? I'll leave it for now."
---
[Year 4000]
The Geo Archon reigned over Liyue for more than 1,700 years, ensuring its peace and stability.
The adepti Qingyun, however, reached the end of her lifespan and vanished without a trace.
"Four thousand years spent guarding this land, and still... even we, so-called adepti, cannot escape the passage of time. But it matters not. I refuse to accept this as the end."
"I will draw you back from the river of time itself."
---
[Year 6000]
Within the his residence in Liyue, Zhongli opened his eyes.
A calm, emotionless voice echoed through the stillness:
"A presence from beyond this world."
