Genshin Impact: I, Heavenly Principle, Will Make Teyvat Supreme

Malikata looked on enviously at her friend, who was about to ascend to "Supreme God" and take a step closer to Lord Heavenly Principle. She offered a congratulatory smile and said, "Buer, just like three thousand years ago—since you've invited the gods to celebrate with you, we'll give you the grandest festival."

"This day, I'm sure, will become the most important holiday in your nation, just like your 'birth anniversary.'"

Buer held Nahida's hand and stepped onto the flower carriage. "Thank you for your blessing, Malikata. One day, you too will be favored by Lord Heavenly Principle."

Malikata smiled blissfully: "I'm already content as I am."

"Perhaps, that great one is watching us now."

The citizens of Sumeru looked on with fanatical devotion as the flower carriage carrying their god emerged from the palace toward Sumeru City's plaza.

Though called a plaza, it was astonishingly vast—large enough to hold hundreds of thousands. It was built by the gods of Sumeru specifically as the main venue for divine festivals.

A meteor shower appeared in the sky—or perhaps it was divine light flying from Sumeru City itself, as if the meteor shower was trailing after the flower carriage.

Those "meteor showers" were all gods.

Gods from all pantheons had brought their gifts: thousands of fresh divine fruits, aromatic divine wines...

Everyone in the plaza was at least of Upper God level.

Only gods at the level of Upper God or above were qualified to attend this celebration.

The Greater Lord Rukkhadevata stepped down from the flower carriage with Nahida and accepted the congratulations of the gathered gods, heading toward the seat of honor.

Words of praise poured from the mouths of the divine attendees.

As the Greater Lord Rukkhadevata reached the central seat, a melodious sound echoed from the heavens.

A Primary God plucked the strings of a lyre, performing a divine melody. This god, without a doubt, was Barbatos.

He had originally intended to offer divine wine—but Diona absolutely refused to mix drinks, and he couldn't just order her around with his divine status.

Left with no choice, he thickened his skin and, as he had once done for the Greater Lord Rukkhadevata's birthday, personally picked up his lyre to strum and sing.

Was it shameful to do this in front of the gods of the entire universe? Not at all—he was thick-skinned, and who knew, maybe it'd become a legend.

Rex Lapis brought the Upper Gods of the Liyue Pantheon to present a personally-crafted "Surging Sacred Chalice."

Guizhong offered a blooming "Glaze Lily."

Marchosius and Xiangling prepared a delicious feast on the spot, its aroma wafting across the whole of Sumeru City.

Raiden Makoto, Raiden Ei, Furina, and Tsaritsa all arrived as well.

From the Norse Pantheon came Odin, from Olympus came Nyx, and from the Indian Pantheon came Shiva—each delivering their respective blessings and gifts.

Following this, Malikata led Sumeru's Goddess of Dance, Nilou, in a performance of the "Divine Dance" for the Greater Lord Rukkhadevata.

Nilou had become a god through Malikata's "Dance of the Goddess of Flowers," and so shared a connection with her. Malikata kept a gentle watch over her, though she did not bring her into the Underworld Pantheon.

Nilou was better suited to the Sumeru Pantheon.

This grand festival lasted three days and three nights.

For gods, three days and nights passed in the blink of an eye—even humans wouldn't feel fatigue under such divine revelry.

During the day, the Rainbow Goddess painted the sky with color, the God of Wine created divine liquors on the spot, the God of Food prepared stacks of delicious dishes, and the God of Music plucked strings and lifted their voice in song.

Venti, disguised as a bard, told tales that had the gods laughing heartily.

At night, the Sun God would occasionally dispel the darkness, while the Moon Goddess made moonlight shine as bright as day, and the Forest God summoned countless birds to sing the songs of nature…

At this festival, every god performed their role to make it a divine banquet wholly dedicated to celebrating the Greater Lord Rukkhadevata.

The third night came to an end, and the dawn of the fourth day arrived.

After feasting and celebrating to their hearts' content, the eagerly awaited moment finally arrived.

The gods all raised their heads toward the heavens in unison.

As embodiments of "Rules," the gods now sensed the universe's blessing.

A seven-colored aurora burst forth from Celestia, with one end stretching deep into the cosmos and the other descending toward the land, piercing through the entirety of the Teyvat Universe.

The "Rules," "Truths," and "Concepts" that governed this universe all cried out in jubilation.

The rules of existence within the universe manifested like flowing rivers, clearly visible to all gods as if they were the veins of the cosmos.

The universe's celebration spread across all of "Human History," across all time-spaces, and across all plane worlds.

...

In a wintry world, snow and ice melted away, and flowers bloomed in full splendor to offer their small congratulations.

Animals gazed blankly at the sky, and even without intelligence, they lowered themselves in reverence.

All life cheered…

Woooooom—

Before the eyes of the gods, the Greater Lord Rukkhadevata rose into the sky, her aura growing deeper and ever more divine.

After breaking through a certain spiritual boundary, a ring composed entirely of "Rules" slowly formed behind her.

This divine ring resembled the earlier "Primordial Law Ring" manifested by Noah.

In fact, it was the same type of construct—a fusion of "Truths" and the "Rules" she had comprehended.

With this divine ring, regardless of the world, if the local "Truth Quality" and "Rule Quality" were lower than what the ring contained, she could directly dominate the rules within it.

...

When the number of rules reached thirty percent of the current universe—over ten thousand types—one could create a plane world.

And if the divine ring encompassed one hundred percent of a universe's rules, then: "I am the Universe."

Reaching this stage would undoubtedly signify a "Single-Universe Level" existence.

Of course, that would also require the "Teyvat Universe" itself to attain Single-Universe Level.

At that stage:

A Third-tier Supreme God would be Multi-Galaxy Level.

A Second-tier Supreme God would be Cosmic Structure Level.

A First-tier Supreme God would be Single-Universe Level.

The moment the Greater Lord Rukkhadevata fully ascended to Supreme God, a pressure radiating pure "Cosmic Quality" spread outward.

Though this aura didn't actively oppress the surrounding gods, it still left them drenched in sweat.

Zhongli looked skyward at the sacred and exalted Rukkhadevata and murmured, "Supreme... supreme—this is the power of the universe itself. Naturally, it is supreme."

Venti stared unblinkingly at the divine ring behind her and whispered, "The same ring as that one…"

Odin swallowed, his one eye filled with longing: "Supreme God…"

In the Abyss, Aether felt the presence of this new cosmic aura and looked toward the rankings in the Cosmic Nexus:

"I have to pick up the pace. Otherwise, I'll be stuck dead last for a very long time."

The Greater Lord Rukkhadevata slowly descended from the sky, her face adorned with a gentle smile as her gaze swept over the assembled gods.

Now, under her gaze, every god below the level of "First-tier Primary God" had no secrets before her. With but a thought, she could command their life and death.

The "Supreme God" was the true sovereign of rules, and gods were mere embodiments of those rules.

As long as they had not come into contact with "Truth," any entity seen by a Supreme God could be shattered with a mere touch.

No matter how many gods stood against a Supreme God, it was meaningless.

At this level, it truly was "one god against a million."

The Greater Lord Rukkhadevata looked toward the original Seven Archons—Venti, Zhongli, and the rest. Even for them, it would only take her a move or two.

"Supreme... Supreme… So this is the true meaning of that concept."

She had once only understood the word "Supreme" in theory. Now, she comprehended its essence fully.

No matter the concept, only by truly reaching it could one grasp what it truly meant.

...

The Greater Lord Rukkhadevata ascended to Supreme God under the congratulations of the gathered gods. Though she had departed the feast, the celebration had not yet ended.

The gods of the Sumeru Pantheon hosted a variety of games and festivities for the visiting gods in honor of their Supreme.

Many were once mortal games, but they still captivated even gods.

Especially modified versions like "Genius Invokation TCG," "Liyue Board Games," and "Fontaine Chess," which were cheat-proof even to gods—these games were borderline addictive.

When the seven-day celebration finally ended, many gods still didn't want to leave. Even the Norse gods couldn't drag away their own Valkyries.

Some petty gods, after losing, scratched their heads in frustration and even resorted to denying the results.

They thoroughly embarrassed themselves in front of the other pantheons. The Olympian Pantheon, in particular, was the most disgraceful—some of their gods couldn't even beat Sumeru's children, and then threw tantrums on the ground.

Eventually, Supreme Primary God Nyx personally came to knock them unconscious and dragged them away like stray dogs.

These scenes revealed that gods were not so lofty and distant—just like humans, they had their own emotions and desires. After all, most gods were once mortals.

This helped the people gradually grow accustomed to the presence of gods. Even when a god dined at their restaurant, there was no need to panic.

A sense of reverence in one's heart was enough.

On this day, gods could be seen everywhere.

And even beyond this day, one might still see a god strolling the streets from time to time.

As the seven-day celebration came to a close, the lively atmosphere in Sumeru City gradually faded, returning to its normal rhythm.

The citizens busied themselves in the streets and alleys, cleaning up the flowers and decorations left over from the festival.

Hu Tao stretched lazily. "Ah~ That was such a relaxing few days. The only regret is that there was too much fun stuff—I couldn't get around to it all. What a shame~"

Nilou smiled. "Seven days really isn't enough to try everything. It can't be helped—those games and dishes came from so many different worlds."

Hu Tao nodded. "That's why it's just a pity, not a regret. Now that the celebration's over, I suppose it's time for farewells. After all, every feast must come to an end."

Nilou blinked. "After all, you are the Director of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor. You must've carved out time for this trip, right?"

Hu Tao chuckled. "It's not that busy~ You're welcome in Liyue anytime, Nilou. As the host, I'll treat you to a grand time."

Nilou's eyes shimmered with anticipation. "I don't leave Sumeru City often, but if I get the chance, I'd love to visit Liyue Harbor."

Hu Tao put her hands on her hips. "Then I'll be awaiting your visit!" She turned to look at Noah.

"Brother Noah, I'll be saying my goodbyes here then."

"If you don't mind, the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor will always be open to you."

Noah smiled and replied, "How could I possibly mind, Director Hu? Since you're extending such a warm invitation, of course I'll visit often."

Hu Tao skipped cheerfully as she waved goodbye. "Then, until next time~"

With that, she transformed into a streak of rainbow light and shot up into the sky like a meteor, heading in the direction of Liyue.

Noah crossed his arms and smiled. "All feasts must come to an end. I suppose it's time for me to leave as well."

Nilou, alarmed, asked, "Lord Noah, are you leaving now too?"

Noah teased, "What's the matter? Will you miss me?"

Nilou blushed instantly, her hands clasping over her chest involuntarily.

"I... I said I wanted to dance for you alone, and I haven't yet..."

Looking at the shy and pure-hearted girl, Noah felt a touch of satisfaction.

A golden key appeared in his hand, which he handed to her.

"This is a key to my 'Garden.' If you wish to dance for me, then come dance there."

Nilou looked at the golden key in front of her with confusion. "Garden?" She extended her hands and took it.

Noah smiled. "The Garden... is my home. If you wish to come, this key will open the door for you."

Nilou's cheeks flushed as she lowered her head, her chest fluttering like butterflies were about to burst out.

"Lord Noah's house key... in other words, Lord Noah, he..."

She looked up, wanting to say something—but Noah was already gone.

She opened her palm, staring at the key resting in her hand. Her heart pounded wildly.

The newly ascended Supreme God, Buer, sensed the aura of the Garden and cast her gaze downward.

"Nilou… how fortunate. If Malikata ever received a key to the Garden, she'd be overjoyed beyond words."

...

After leaving Sumeru, Noah arrived at Liyue Harbor.

Blending in as an ordinary person, he strolled the streets while quietly operating the "System."

"Hmm… the Teyvat Universe has reached this stage: the birth of the Cosmic Nexus, numerous pantheons spread throughout the universe, and the societal structure of divinity has formed. It's time to begin a large-scale world annexation."

"Let's see how many world coordinates I can search for at once."

[Ding! The system is scanning the host's mental world data to detect world coordinates.]

[Expanding search range…]

[Search complete. A total of 17 worlds have been detected.]

[Now listing detected world coordinates:]

["Re:Zero – Starting Life in Another World", "Eromanga Sensei", "Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions", "Charlotte", "Re:Creators", "Dororo", "KamiKatsu: Working for God in a Godless World", "The Familiar of Zero"...]
