in all the time Teyvat had existed, there were only four Sovereigns.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>As for Ei, that was only because Ye Ruo had obtained the Electro Source power from other worlds.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>That was what allowed her to cross this limit.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>That was why Ye Ruo had complained from the start: the Celestia system was locked down tight, from top to bottom.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Regarding Visions, there was almost no channel for upward mobility.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Cases like Vennessa, which were one-offs, could be ignored entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>There were just ordinary people, and those who possessed Visions.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Two distinct differences.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Gnosis was also something only the Seven Archons had;
