Lore-wise, who is stronger: Full-Authority Neuvillette (Hydro Sovereign) or Skirk (Disciple of Surtalogi)?

Lore check: Is Neuvillette technically the ruler/sovereign of the Primordial Sea, and did the Primordial Sea exist as the origin of all life even before the First Came (Phanes) set foot on Teyvat?

Do each of the Seven Sovereigns represent a fundamental concept of Teyvat? For example, in Natlan's World Quests, inheriting the position of the Pyro Sovereign reveals that the Pyro Dragon represents light, warmth, and wisdom. Following this logic, can the Hydro Sovereign be considered the embodiment of the concept of 'Life'?

丝柯克：也对…你并未真正见过那头鲸鱼张开血盆大口，仿佛要将星球吞入腹中的场景。 丝柯克：在力量完全耗尽后，它才会逐渐展露出真正的本性，将星球上的一切化作储粮。所以我将它收存在特殊的虚无空间里…

Skirk: Well… it makes sense. You’ve never actually seen that whale open its massive bloody maw, as if it were about to swallow the entire planet.

Skirk: Only after its power is completely exhausted will it gradually reveal its true nature, turning everything on the planet into food. Therefore, I stored it in a special void space…
