Genshin Impact: I, Heavenly Principle, Will Make Teyvat Supreme-Chapter 155: The Gods Confront the Fear of Phanes

Hu Tao's eyes widened as if she had discovered a new world.

She knew very well that Guest Zhongli was meticulous in everything he did. Even something as simple as drinking tea had to be done with elegance. She had never seen Zhongli make a mistake before.

This truly was an eye-opener.

So, Zhongli could make mistakes too.

"Could it be that you've always been so composed, like an old grandfather, but now your hands and feet really aren't as nimble anymore?"

Zhongli snapped back to reality, sighed at Hu Tao's astonished expression, and said, "Everyone makes mistakes sometimes. No need to be so surprised, Director Hu."

"Oh right, I just remembered—about that illustrated book for promoting the underworld that you mentioned last time, I think it could use some refinement. I'll help revise it for you."

After speaking, he stood up.

Hu Tao's eyes lit up. "Oh~ how nice! Zhongli is actually taking the initiative. Then I'll leave it to you."

Zhongli nodded, clasped his hands behind his back, and headed toward the door.

"Eh? Wait, Zhongli, why are you heading outside? Isn't the book in here?"

"Oh, I'm going to buy some new ones. I heard the marketplace has brand-new ink and paper."

"Oh, I see."

"Mm, that's right."

"Then hurry back."

As soon as he left the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, Zhongli disappeared.

...

Underworld

At this moment, over a dozen third-rank gods from the Inuyasha world had recently joined the Underworld. There was no longer a need for Malikata, the acting Underworld King, to constantly supervise and approve everything. Aside from the final reincarnation assessments, all other work had been delegated to the third-rank gods.

The one overseeing them was the future Primary God of Moon, Fairy Inukimi, personally appointed by Noah.

However, she had just ascended to godhood and was still a far cry from becoming the Moon Goddess.

Malikata summoned the third-rank gods under her command.

"For the time being, God of Salt and I will be heading to Celestia to attend the divine assembly. You must maintain order here."

"Although the Underworld is the easiest place to earn merit points, the punishments for mistakes are equally severe."

"Fairy Inukimi, your divine power has the effect of protecting souls. During this time, you will temporarily oversee order."

Malikata looked at Fairy Inukimi. How could she not see that Fairy Inukimi carried the aura of the Lord Heavenly Principle—a god favored by Heavenly Principle? That was why she gave her a bit more care in the Underworld.

Fairy Inukimi bowed gracefully. "Yes, Lord Malikata."

Malikata nodded, and her figure slowly disappeared. The God of Salt, Havri, vanished with her.

As more and more worlds joined the Teyvat Universe, Havri—whose power was closely tied to the prosperity of human civilization—also experienced a surge in power.

Although still not on par with the current Seven Archons, she had already reached the tier just below them.

...

Celestia

At this moment, Celestia had completely become a dedicated venue for meetings.

With the Teyvat world growing ever stronger, the Hall of the Gods had undergone constant improvements. Now, its grandeur had reached the very limits of human imagination.

Even the gate alone was several thousand meters tall, with a white base and golden patterns—holy, pure, and majestic.

The Primary Gods ascended the steps one by one, heading toward the grand gate.

The door slowly opened, as if another world lay beyond.

Unlike the first meeting, every god climbing the stairs this time was drenched in sweat, some even trembling.

The voice of the former Heavenly Principle—now presiding over the Pantheon Tribunal—resounded coldly with solemn authority in their ears.

Even Venti, who had been drinking to the point of near-collapse, sobered up instantly.

He hurriedly used the Thousand Winds to blow away the scent of alcohol from his body.

He didn't even greet the approaching fellow gods.

What a joke—this was someone who valued order above all. If he dared act indecently under her watchful eyes, he might quite literally lose face.

Still, he gave everyone a wave in greeting.

Zhongli nodded. The other gods also exchanged silent greetings.

Gulp...

Tsaritsa swallowed nervously. As the Cryo Archon, even she felt a deep chill.

If she had achieved some merit, she would feel more confident. But right now, she had none.

Even though the Lord Heavenly Principle had pardoned her, that was only in her eyes. In truth, she had still rebelled against Phanes.

Now she would have to face the real deal, and her eyes were full of fear.

Focalors wiped a bead of cold sweat from her forehead.

"I've made major contributions... surely that will offset my transgressions before Phanes..."

All the Primary Gods understood clearly: even if the current Heavenly Principle didn't care about their past offenses, the true master—Phanes—definitely would.

Even if she didn't kill them, she would surely make things difficult.

Lumine looked around. "Wow~ I get to attend too?"

This was Celestia? It was completely different from the place she had been brought to by Aether five hundred years ago.

She got it now—back then, that place wasn't Celestia at all. This was the real Celestia.

Aether said flatly, "You're already at the Primary God level. You just haven't taken your seat yet. According to the divine covenant, you must attend."

"Also, don't speak recklessly during the meeting."

Lumine rolled her eyes. She knew exactly how to behave in different situations.

Asmoday stood before the massive gate, her golden eyes watching the arriving gods.

"Everyone who needs to be here has arrived. Follow me. The second divine assembly begins now."

Lumine twitched at the corner of her mouth as she looked at Asmoday standing at the gate.

Wasn't this the unfamiliar god who had stopped her and Aether five hundred years ago and sealed her away for five centuries?

But she wasn't who she used to be. She now clearly understood just how exaggerated the divine system's ranking of divine power truly was.

Take herself, for example—initially, her power had only been at the level of a second-rank god. Now, as a Primary God, she could crush ten of her former selves with one hand. At full strength, even a hundred of her old selves together wouldn't last two seconds against her.

And according to Aether, her current strength was at most equivalent to a great nation-level power—and not even a continent-sized nation.

The current top Primary Gods could, with a single full-powered blow, sink an entire continent.

Even within the Primary God tier, the gap in strength was visibly vast. The weaker Primary Gods were still on the great nation-level, while the strongest ones were continent-level.

As for the Supreme Gods—Aether had planetary surface-level power. One blow could peel off a planet's crust, and given some time, he could destroy an entire planet.

And Aether only ranked fifth among the Supreme Gods—second to last.

Asmoday, however, was ranked second among the Supreme Gods. Did that make her planet-level?

Lumine's lips twitched again. This growth speed was just absurd. So this was the benefit of clinging to a powerful backer from the beginning?

No wonder that bastard Aether latched on so quickly.

She had already heard from Aether about the changes in Teyvat.

The time it took for Teyvat to grow this powerful wasn't even a full year—only about seven months in total.

In just seven months, it had evolved from a mere Bubble World into a Small Universe with infinite potential.

The gods followed Asmoday into the Hall of Gods.

The hall was completely open, and each Primary God's throne was positioned beneath the Throne of the Heavenly Principle.

Once the gods entered, the thrones automatically dispersed throughout the hall.

Each throne bore symbols and rules unique to the god it belonged to.

The seating arrangement of the thrones was determined by strength and merit.

Generally speaking, the stronger a god was, the greater their contributions.

Each throne was spaced far apart.

After all, for Primary Gods, distance meant little—even a thousand miles was within arm's reach.

The newly promoted elven Primary Gods sat uneasily on their thrones, nervously glancing around.

To them, this was a scene beyond imagination.

Pure mythology—like something out of a comic book.

With the atmosphere so solemn, none of the Spirits dared speak.

They only stared anxiously at the gods who continued to take their seats.

Although their time in the main world had been short, they already knew most of the gods through the chat group, so it wasn't too unfamiliar.

The six Supreme Gods' thrones were positioned before the Primary Gods. Their figures had already appeared on the thrones.

Currently, aside from the original Four Shades, two new members had joined the Supreme Gods: Esdeath and Aether.

Esdeath had earned her place due to her early contributions in elevating Teyvat to the level of a planar world, and her considerable potential. She was now at the planetary surface level, ranking lowest among the Supreme Gods.

As for Aether, as the current second-in-command of the Abyss and rightful heir to the Abyss Throne in the original timeline, his ascension to Supreme God was without issue.

Moreover, the Abyss had now been completely transformed by Aether.

On the continent of the Abyss, its flora and fauna were flourishing.

Aside from being filled with abyssal energy, it wasn't much different from Sumeru's rainforest.

The only downside was that Abyssal gods were being born a bit more slowly.

Even with Rhinedottir's continuous experimentation and creations, so far she had only managed to produce some ordinary god-level Abyssal beasts.

When the thrones of the two Holy Gods appeared, all the gods held their breath.

Phanes' figure manifested on her throne. Her black eyes instantly turned golden, filled with a cold and oppressive aura. A white halo appeared behind her.

This was the manifestation of her dominion over the power of humanity.

Although she no longer used the Human Realm Force System, the power of humanity was something she naturally possessed.

Humanity's force was Alaya.

In other words, she was the wielder of Alaya's power. It wouldn't be wrong to say she was Alaya itself.

The moment Phanes appeared, the entire temple was filled with heavy pressure.

Venti sat upright on his throne like a well-behaved schoolchild, his back straight.

Zhongli's expression grew solemn, the leisure in his eyes gradually fading.

Furina had a bead of cold sweat slide down her forehead as she swallowed nervously—this was her first time seeing the former Heavenly Principle.

Tsaritsa, meanwhile, lowered her head, trembling.

The other gods were in similar states to Furina and Tsaritsa.

Only Raiden Makoto, Raiden Ei, Buer, and Nahida remained relatively calm.

At that moment, the other Holy God's throne emitted a soft white light, and all the Primary Gods turned to look curiously.

This newcomer, who stood on equal footing with Phanes, known as the companion of the Kabbalistic Tree of Life—the "Little God of Eden"—what did she look like?

Mio Takamiya appeared on her throne, adorned in a sacred white bridal-gown-style divine garment, smiling at the Primary Gods who looked her way.

"Hello, everyone."

Though her aura wasn't as overwhelming as Phanes', it still exceeded that of a Supreme God. Moreover, she didn't exude Phanes' cold, ruthless energy—she seemed much gentler.

"Greetings."

All the Primary Gods respectfully responded.

Noah's figure appeared on the throne.

"Lord Heavenly Principle!"

The gods immediately called out from the heart.

Noah raised his hand, and the hall fell instantly silent.

"I don't like wasting words. This is the second time we convene a divine assembly."

All the gods looked solemnly up at Noah on the throne.

Although it was only the second such meeting, everyone knew that whenever such a gathering was called, it meant something major was happening in the Teyvat Universe.

They could already guess—it had to be about invading other worlds.

And that meant it was their chance to earn merit.

The Lord Heavenly Principle was generous with rewards. Any invaded world that aligned with their faction's rules would share those rules with them.

Which meant—for every world conquered, they would grow stronger in stages.

Noah casually tapped the armrest of the throne with a finger. "There are two agenda items for today."

"First, the number of gods in the pantheon has grown, and the current structure has flaws. A complete reorganization is needed."

"Second, the Teyvat Universe has entered its second phase. In this phase, we no longer need to hold back. We will abandon previous strategies and begin full-force invasions of other worlds."

"From now on, we'll launch ruthless and unrestrained violent invasions of countless other worlds."
