After being hit in the face by the system, I swapped bodies with Zhongli

Yuan Zhuoyue has always been puzzled as to why she was able to use the power of "filth" for her own purposes, even though these negative and yin-like powers also put a considerable burden on her mind and body.

In the beginning, she was extremely resistant, even fearful, of the power that could make her lose her rationality and become crazy.

But as she became entangled with these forces for a longer period of time, she gradually became aware of some things that she could not understand.

Morax once said that there was a subtle yet close connection between him and her, that they shared the same origin in terms of soul, authority, and power.

Logically speaking, their powers should be roughly equal.

The only difference is that, without the tempering of a long period of time, her control over her authority and power is far inferior to that of Morax.

However, when Morax was fighting against the power of the "filth," all he could do was restrain and suppress the "filth," guide those powers to one place, and then forcibly seal them away.

To confine these negative forces to a corner, and to prevent the spread of "filth" as much as possible, so as to avoid negative impacts on all living beings in the world.

Even after coming into contact with these powers and experiencing many negative effects, she was still able to transform these powers and use them for her own benefit.

For a long time at the beginning, Yuan Zhuoyue thought this was a normal situation.

It was only later, during her time with Morax, that Yuan Zhuoyue gradually realized that something was wrong.

She could wield her power freely, while Morax could not.

As Yuan Zhuoyue gradually gained control of her own power, she could clearly sense that the power she could wield overlapped significantly with that of Morax.

The power she inherited from [Candle Dragon] is also clearly distinct from those yin and negative powers.

But those [filthy] forces are not among them.

Yuan Zhuoyue was puzzled by the confirmation of this matter, wondering why she was able to use those [filthy] powers.

Where does such versatility come from?

What is it about her that makes her so special, able to attract those rampant "filth" and absorb their power into her body?

This confusion has lasted for a long time, and Yuan Zhuoyue still can't figure out why.

However, after the [reboot], Yuan Zhuoyue's confusion deepened.

Before those memories of the past resurfaced in her mind, Yuan Zhuoyue had some guesses in her heart.

Some believe this "restart" may stem from "natural law" or be related to the ruling party associated with "time".

However, after gradually retrieving those memories buried in the past, Yuan Zhuoyue was able to confirm that this matter had nothing to do with them.

The negative effects of [filth] appear on different living beings and will manifest in different ways, but there is a very subtle pattern to it.

The negative states that occur to weaker creatures after they are tainted by "filth" are relatively more stable.

Some beings, after enduring the erosion of these negative forces, are even able to gain extraordinary abilities by harnessing the power of "filth".

In her world, whether in the past that was destined to be obliterated or in the present that already has a future, someone discovered this pattern and verified it.

Some organizations, under continuous planning and while ensuring the safety of their participants, attempt to come into contact with what they call "filth" or "turbid air" in order to obtain the means to survive in this difficult apocalypse.

On the contrary, the more powerful one is, the closer one's authority and power are to the "rules" that govern all things in the world, and the stronger the influence from "filth" one will be.

If Morax hadn't been prepared in the early stages, under 666's guidance, and hadn't laid down seals against the "filth" in places where it might gather, it would have been a different story.

Living in Teyvat, the gods who wield power probably only end up either dead or insane.

After the complete outbreak of [filth] in the later stages, most of the gods who possessed power chose to seal themselves away, embedding their authority and power into the natural rules governing the world.

In choosing to sacrifice some things to keep the world running, they left themselves a glimmer of hope.

Therefore, at that time, both the "natural law" and the "government" were in a state of being unable to take care of themselves and were forced to "align with the Dao." Naturally, they did not have the extra energy to "reboot" this broken world.

Perhaps they could do it too, but they could only return to the time before the calamity, like the time of Teyvat.

It has no effect on the world she lives in, nor on the dream realm under her control.

Yuan Zhuoyue had also read the ancient books from the Dream Realm and searched for all the myths and legends about [Zhulong].

They also knew that in that world that had already vanished, Zhulong was one of the primordial gods who created the world and was known as the creator of time.

They also knew that the leader of all dragons, who could rival the gods of the heavens, had grown to this level because he had obtained the breath and power of the Candle Dragon.

However, this growth process also went through millions of years of trials and tribulations. The power of the Candle Dragon was the most powerful aid to that person, but it was not the whole story.

She was merely someone who was fortunate enough to inherit the power of [Candle Dragon]. Even though she obtained these powers, she didn't have much time to adapt to them.

She knew that even if she obtained these powers, she would not truly become [Zhulong]. Although this power had already made her transcend ordinary immortals and gods, there was still a world of difference between her and that Primordial God.

It is also far inferior to those authorities and powers that share the same origin as Morax, which are easy to use and control.

Even though she could sense that the power she inherited did indeed possess the immense force capable of shaking the very fabric of time, it was not something she could easily manipulate.

Therefore, even though she inherited the power of time control from [Candle Dragon], Morax also accepted the authority and power that he passed on after her death.

Even if one accepts the power of [Candle Dragon], it is impossible to reverse time.

Before her memory returned, she had many questions in her mind that she never voiced to Morax.

But after regaining those past memories, she gradually became able to understand these confusions.

But where does this subtle connection between her and "filth" come from?

And what kind of being is the force that brought everything back to the point before the worst happened and before all the calamities began?
