"What??"
The dragon was utterly dumbfounded.
'Jade beauty, me, what's wrong with this man!?'
Never in his life were he was said that he was a jade beauty.
It was humiliating…
Yet…
Why does he feel a certain amount of satisfaction!?!
"What? I mean, understand me, you are the first of your kind so… it's understandable if I'm curious about it, okay?"
Understandable?
Understandable my ass!
Who would even thought of that question to ask whom you have just met?
Yet strangely, he couldn't refute the young man's question.
Because, he knows it himself. They, the Dragon Sovereigns, do not have a clear gender.
So he chooses the most optimal choice since ancient times.
Staying silent and feigning ignorance.
"…"
"…"
Zhongli, noticing that the place became eerie silent, sighed and shook his head.
"Ignoring me huh. Well, whatever, I agree to plea!"
The dragon, still silent, twitched his lips as he looked at the shameless Deity.
Plea? When did this became a plea?
I do not remember such a thing!!
Brother, I think you are being too full of yourself!!
Regardless, he finally showed himself in front of the shameless Deity.
Zhongli looked up slightly to meet the dragon's head.
"Ohh! So this is the Geo Dragon, hmm, exactly as I expected, but still, you are bigger than I anticipated."
Hearing those words from his mouth, the Geo Dragon silently thought.
'Big? I'm not that big compared to my brothers/sisters.'
But of course, as someone who doesn't know Genshin Impact that much, he doesn't know that the Geo Dragon Sovereign is actually the smallest of all the Sovereign.
Yet, it is also what makes it unique, as despite being the smallest, he possesses the Hardest body of them all. Making him the one with the most defensive ability of all the Sovereign.
And lastly, due to him being the Geo Dragon Sovereign, he can actually weigh as much as the tallest mountain in Teyvat!
"So, master, what's your name?"
The Geo Dragon Sovereign, was stunned slightly at Zhongli's suddenly question.
Zhongli really wanted to know his name, because, wouldn't it be disrespectful for an apprentice to not know his dear master's exalted name?
"My name huh… Forget it, you'll know when the time comes."
Alas, truly the wise and old Geo Dragon Sovereign, managing to evade his question.
While Zhongli really wanted to know, he just shook his head. Not wanting to pry any further.
Because in his head. Although they are already Master and Disciple, there are still some things that is better left untouched.
Still, is a name really one of those things that is better left unsaid?
Don't be a fool, of course not. And Zhongli naturally knows, the Old Dragon is just lazy saying his name. Not that Zhongli cared about that much though.
Wanting to play the Mysterious Ancient Master? Go on! Not that it will cost me anything!
That's what Zhongli naturally thought.
While walking alongside with the Geo Dragon Sovereign, Zhongli couldn't help but marvel at the sight surrounding him.
Unknown minerals, unknown crystals, unknown materials…
Such sight to behold!
'Tsk tsk tsk, if I am still on Earth, I would have already been very wealthy! Such a shame, but still, I can bring this materials back to the main land, right?'
Lost in thought, he casually flicked his hand, commanding to move and deliver the materials he sought.
The Dragon Sovereign of Geo, gazed at the young Deity with amusement.
No one knows what he is thinking, even those who are reading this tome, do not know what he is thinking.
'Really, what an amusing little one. I didn't really have any interest on the other creations of the Dragon King, yet looking at this fellow… maybe this one should interact with those creations.'
As he was lost in thought, his face, hidden by ancient debris and fragmented glass, hardened like a molten rock poured by freezing cold water.
'Yet, then again. Is he even a creation of that guy? After all, the leylines of the world tells a different story. This fellow… is not a creation of this world. Not to mention, I am very interested in his Dragon Lineage.'
Still, his rock solid face crumbles as it soften when a certain thought pops out of his mind.
'I wonder what the future holds, I'm looking forward to it. I hope you would not bore this one, little Lord of Rocks.'
....
While the two were on there own world, a massive dragon hovers above the plane.
It is him, he who rules the the existence for eternity. The Lord of all Dragons, the Dragon King Nibelung.
It is his daily hobby to watch over all the creations of the world.
Seeing small plants grow, watching Spirits or Elementals interact with each other, or hearing those gossiping Deities/Gods.
This little interactions within his plane, makes his burning heart flutter with great joy.
As someone who looked and watched over your creation, your subjects, or even your children grow up, wouldn't it be natural to feel warmth with all of this event that is unfolding?
Nibelung silently vowed to do anything to make sure his creations thrived.
"Let the Radiant path of Light guide you towards your Destined Greatness."
With those words, the heavens resounded in joyous song, the earth danced with profound respect, and the abyss cowered in fear.
The blessing of the Radiant Light enveloped the entire plane of existence, shielding it from the any unknown force that might come.
'I should also create Moons. They will be the ones to illuminate the creations while I am not here, for I need to see what the Endless Abyss stores in it.'
After that, he flapped his wings and prepared to traverse the sky above, to reach the endless sea of darkness above the fleeting sky.
Upon reaching the outer space, he stretched out his wings.
His already massive body visibly expanded, which, over time, became larger than the world itself.
"Whoa!! Why did it suddenly became dark?"
"Ehh? I don't know? But still, something big is definitely coming!"
"Hah! Don't worry. It is just the Ruler doing something, so don't worry too much. It will be over soon."
"Yeah yeah. I just hope you are correct."
All the creatures below gossiped to each other, marveling at the ones in a lifetime experience.
While above the endless span of the sky, the Dragon King Nibelung, on the outer space, unfurled his vast wings that spans across the planets existence.
He planned to create three moons right there and now.
But of course, he already cast a protective barrier on the planet, to ensure that it won't be affected by it.
As he did that. Echoes of creation's might rippled down to existence. With the first thunderous flap, sliver of light condensed into into existence. The moon emits gentle and radiant aura, embodying the beginning and harmony.
The second beat scattered starlight into the endless void, giving rise to a new consciousness. The sphere of light radiates a calm and watchful eyes, as if to oversee the cycle and balance of all things.
And lastly, with the final resounding flap, freezing aura envelopes the space. Shaping into an influx of existence, cold and distant aura, as it bears the weight of fate and ending.
The three Great Moons finally shaped their own consciousness. Each bearing different auras, like how there existence once told.
"My creations, my daughters… I shall give you thy names you deserve."
The enormous dragon exclaimed with regal authority, as he gazed down to the floating three maidens.
The three beautiful maidens of the moon, naturally bowed down to their creator. As they all answered with a resounding yes.
"You, the eldest of them all, you shall be called Aria from now on."
"Yes, Creator."
Exclaimed the gentle big sister like figure, Aria with a smile.
"As for you the second of the three sisters, your name shall be Sonnet."
The second sister, despite carrying warm aura, merely nodded with a neutral look.
"And lastly, the youngest of the triplets, you shall be called Canon."
Canon, being the Frost Moon, her icy glacial eyes looked at the gigantic dragon and just utter *yes* in an ice cold voice. Yet, Nibelung aren't even the slightest provoked, instead, he warmly accepted them all, after all, they were his creations, his daughters.
Meanwhile, back in the land below. The people were singing praises about their lord, welcoming the new sisters that has been born.
Yet, on the sea of thousands of lives, there is someone who thought about it opposingly.
It was…
"Shitt!!!!!"
Yes, it was our main character, Zhongli.
