Can you imagine if Celestia decides to mind control the archons, realizing that a revolution is probably coming?
The main goal is to sow chaos and distrust in Teyvat, stopping the Tsaritsa's plans while showing Celestia's might.
What they didn't expect was for said archons to fight back, most with contingencies made centuries ago.
Venti isolated himself in a wind barrier, making sure nobody could enter, and that his powers couldn't break out. He is NOT having panic attacks due to claustrophobia and memories of Decarabian's rule, thank you very much.
Zhongli sealed himself deep undergound, in a similar fashion to Azdaha, he brought plenty of books to pass the time, though he is mostly suffering from a migraine due to fighting off Celestia.
Ei is literally just chilling in the Plane of Euthymia while the Shogun runs Inazuma. Makoto's subconsiousness is fistfighting Celestia's influence.
To make sure nobody could use her control over Irminsul and the people's dreams and minds, Nahida locked herself up in the Sanctuary of Surasthana again, sealing her conciousness. It worked, but she's afraid and alone and crying while reliving her worst nightmare. Scaramouche and Cyno are trying to break the barrier in frantic desperation.
We don't know much about Murata, but she's probably just chilling in a volcano. Meanwhile the Tsaritsa froze herself, letting Pierro run the country and the Fatui in her stead.
Meanwhile Furina is hiding in the dephts of Fontaine's sea, sealing herself in a cave with the use of Pneuma and Ousia energies (if she tries to break the barrier, or attempts to control Fontaine's waters, the barrier strikes, she went a bit overboard because tsunamis are no joke).
So yeah, the plan didn't go as expected, and Celestia also didn't account for the Traveler... or the dragons...
The Traveler is basically going around saving everyone, using his connection to the elements to break barriers and fight off Celestia's influence. We start with Sumeru, mostly because Scara all but drags us to save Nahida.
As for the Sovereings...
Dvalin is guarding Venti's temporary "prison", trying to sing as many ballads as he can remember in hopes to calm him down. He sometimes sings the notes wrong because it always made Venti laugh.
Azdaha's conciousness found Zhongli's seal. He connected both of the places so that they can keep each other company. They're alternating between chess matches with soothing tea and Oshmantus wine to friendly spars that shake Liyue (Zhongli is still a feral war god that likes to fight).
Ei is having a great time in the Plane of Euthymia, especially now that Kokomi came along. They're chatting about light novels.
Apep managed to connect to Nahida's conciousness and is currently strangling the Celestial influence. She claims it's just her way of settling the score after we helped her in 3.6, as well as a good excuse to fight Celestia. The fact that she is telling stories of the old days of Teyvat to calm Nahida down is just a mere coincidence. (The maternal instincts kicked in)
Neuvillette broke though the Pneuma Ousia barrier with a small army of Melusines. He is currently guarding the archon in his dragon form while the Melusines perform plays to distract her (they want to start a troupe, so these are all original scripts, they were all approved).
We don't know much about the other two dragons, so let's just say they're guarding the borders of Natlan and Snezhnaya.
CONGRATULATIONS CELESTIA! Not only did your plan fail, but now all of Teyvat is mad at you!! Even the Sovereigns (that are supposed to resent the archons, mind you) are angry on their behalf!!!!🥳🥳🥳
Bonus: Neuvillette watching the show of the melusines while Furina sleeps next to his paws:

Is there a cat in cannon who got a good death who you think didn't deserve it? Especially if they committed crimes?
Tom the Wifebeater and his redemption death. No question. It's not even close.
Not only do I reject to the "redemption death" on the grounds of it being Tom the Wifebeater who is bullying others until his dying breath, even taunting Thunder about Turtle Tail is dead and the kits must be very torn up about it, but I reject "redemption through death" entirely. I don't like it in stories. It's a theme I deeply object to.
And again it's fucking wild that every time a character is a father, even if they are a wifebeater or a child abuser, the writers think that it bestows a glimmer of goodness into them which every abused child is forced to appreciate and cry about. Breezepelt, Thunder, Tallstar, Tom's children, all of them forced to reconcile and admit how much they wuv their papa.
Abusive dads in WC regularly get redemption deaths, too. Clear Sky dies saving his grandchild, Sandgorse died saving a rando in a tunnel, Tom the Wifebeater saving his daughter.
But Tom the Wifebeater is the worst example of it. Hands down.

Don’t you hate it when women who are in their power, at the height of the careers, or have so much potential to continue to be successful and become something end up trapped by bum ass niggas who are envious of their success, disrespect them constantly and don’t want them to do better. It’s the worst. It infuriates me so deeply. We love children, it is never the child’s fault, it is often never fully and wholeheartedly the woman’s fault sometimes women are victims of abuse, sometimes women are too in love to make decisions in order to save their lives and their careers. BUT, I wish that we would start making better decisions. Especially, if we’re going to be unmarried and dating these bum ass men whom do not amount to anything or half of what we’re worth or potentially could be doing.
I love to help us make better decisions from a spiritual standpoint so when we’re talking about pregnancy and children, let us talk about the fact that our children inherit heaps of our trauma from us, our children are spiritually affected by the people whom make them up. I take a lot of the stances I take in terms of women’s livelihoods, their rights, the health and safety of children, BECAUSE, I understand how important it is that children and woman are protected and are given the opportunity to live and have the best lives possible. We are talking about the people who guide these spirits from the spiritual realm into the physical and spirits that are vulnerable to all these things the moment they are sent down to be conceived by us and brought into this world, into the physical, into the 3D.
We are talking about women and children and all of their divinity here that are constantly being put in the worst positions possible, we cannot continue like this as people. To the new world or in general. That is not to say that men and the masculine energy in general is not divine in all of his (their) glory but we live in a world today with countless wounded feminine and masculine energies who are running around like headless chickens adding fuel to a fire that is engulfing Mother Earth and her creation.

Nightmare, be honest, before the whole Dream thing, would you have wanted kids?
...do you want any now...?
*Nightmare scoffs and cross his arms*
"One could argue I was already had four before care for my little brother, but in regards to specfially preadolecent children, then no. It's never been a desire of mine."
*He glances distantly to the side, a serious, yet tired expression.*
"And even if it were . . . I don't believe that's a posiblity for me anymore."
*He glances back up with a slight smirk.*
"But as for now, I am content with the one I have."
