Genshin Impact: I, Heavenly Principle, Will Make Teyvat Supreme-Chapter 158: Make Snezhnaya Great Again

Grand Narukami Shrine.

Kamisato Ayaka gently descended to the ground in a light blue divine outfit, holding a fan-shaped authority in her hand.

Authority itself has no inherent shape—what she held was a projection shaped by the faith that empowered her.

"I... I've become a god."

Ayaka looked down at her divine robes, a noble and pure aura radiating from her like a white heron.

Since returning from the Courtyard, she had been assigned by the Shogun to work at the shrine—after all, she was now a shrine maiden in service of the Heavenly Principle.

She had known she would become a god someday, but never imagined it would come so soon.

Unbidden, the image of the Lord Heavenly Principle surfaced in her mind, her heart quickening with a trace of longing.

I wonder... when will Lord Heavenly Principle think of me again?

Ah, Ayaka, how could you be so greedy?

Even after becoming a god, you're still among the weakest. Even the Shogun herself is still waiting to be summoned.

Shinobu and Kanae Kocho rushed over.

"Congratulations on becoming a god, Sister Ayaka!"

"Yes! I've been waiting anxiously for this moment!"

Ayaka offered a graceful bow. "Thank you. Forgive me—I must admit I had a bit of selfishness in my heart. When you two became gods before me, I did feel a little unbalanced. I'm sorry."

Before the Kocho sisters could respond, a dramatic voice rang out nearby.

"Ahhh! It's not fair, not fair! Everyone's becoming a god except me! It's so unfair! Favoritism! Ye Heng, you biased jerk!"

Alice flailed on the ground, throwing a tantrum. Her eyes had turned green with envy after seeing so many names on the Divine Pantheon Blueprint ascend—yet hers remained unchanged.

Yae Miko folded her arms, watching Alice with amused pity.

Ayaka flushed in embarrassment. "Lady Alice..."

The Kocho sisters exchanged glances.

Just then, a crisp voice rang out—right from Alice's backside.

"Oww! Who hit me?!"

[Don't spout nonsense. When have I ever shown favoritism?]

The source of this c𝓸ntent is freewebnøvel.coɱ.

[Last time during that mission with Barbatos, you spent the whole time goofing off. Of course no one believes in you.]

[If you had any presence in the lower world, you'd already be a Middle God.]

Alice pouted stubbornly. "I'm still Teyvat's legendary adventurer! Doesn't my travel guide count as influence?!"

[What do you think?]

[Anyway, this time's a large-scale mission. Get ready—you might even ascend directly to Upper God.]

[Oh, and Ayaka—you did well. I'm very impressed.]

Ayaka snapped back to herself, cheeks flushed. "Thank you for your praise, Lord Heavenly Principle." Just your praise alone is more than enough for me.

[Of course, Kanae and Shinobu—your efforts haven't gone unnoticed either.]

[The Courtyard will always remain open to you.]

The Kocho sisters bowed joyfully. "Yes, Lord Heavenly Principle."

The voice faded.

Yae Miko stood silently, clearly waiting for her own compliment—only to receive none. Her ears drooped, and she turned into a sulking fox.

Hmph! Favoritism!

A moment later, a sudden chill ran down her spine. Her tail had just been stroked.

Her face went blank—the only one who could do that without her noticing was the Lord Heavenly Principle.

Meanwhile, over at the Commission headquarters, Kamisato Ayato successfully ascended to his divine throne.

His first act as a god was to head straight for Tenshukaku to seek audience with the Shogun.

Raiden Makoto nodded in satisfaction. "Very good. Now that Inazuma has six gods, including you and Ayaka, I can confidently entrust internal affairs to you—you've always excelled in that domain."

Kamisato Ayato knelt beside her. "Yes, Shogun-sama."

Inside, he was thrilled. He and his sister had become gods at the same time. Their parents would be overjoyed.

Still, he needed to restrain the Kamisato Clan's every move—lest they fall from grace.

The tragic end of Inazuma's old nobility was still fresh in memory.

...

Fontaine.

Lyney, Clorinde, and Chevreuse ascended to godhood simultaneously, igniting a frenzy throughout Fontaine.

If there were any nations whose people were most aware of the changes in the world, it was surely Fontaine and Sumeru.

Fontaine's scholars had begun researching the world's transformation months ago, and even had some intel on the emergence of new gods.

After all, with a celebrity like Furina bringing new gods into Fontaine, it was impossible for the press to miss it.

In fact, Furina hadn't even tried to hide it—instead, she held a public press conference.

She educated the people about the current state of the world and the secret behind Vision holders becoming gods.

Though, at this point, it wasn't much of a secret. After all, everyone had questioned where the name "Genshin" even came from.

The citizens of Fontaine quickly swarmed the three newly descended gods—asking for autographs, interviews, and more.

But when Furina stepped forward, everyone cleared a path.

With hands on her hips, Furina looked at the three ascended gods and declared proudly, "Hahaha! Lyney, Clorinde, Chevreuse—excellent, truly excellent!"

"Our Fontaine faction has just added three new Middle Gods. This is a joyous occasion indeed."

"Citizens of Fontaine! This is a time of celebration! Cheer! Applaud! Offer your blessings to our newly ascended gods!"

With that, Furina spread her arms wide and shouted.

"Oooooohhhhh!"

The citizens erupted into cheers. Fireworks exploded in the sky. Colorful ribbons fluttered down as the crowd celebrated wildly.

Lyney, Clorinde, and Chevreuse bowed slightly to Furina.

Neuvillette approached. "Congratulations on your ascension. Fontaine's future prosperity is now in your hands."

...

The restructuring of the Divine Pantheon Blueprint and the opening of the godhood promotion path caused an explosion in the divine chat group—especially among lower-realm gods who had just ascended to the main world.

[Toga: Aaaah! Oh my god! The promotion path is open! We don't need to exchange rules anymore—we can comprehend rules directly and become Middle Gods!]

[Nurarihyon: Yes! This is incredible! Not only can we become Middle Gods, we could reach Upper God—or even Primary God!]

[Fairy Inukimi: Excited for what? One of you's a low-tier Lower God, the other's a mid-tier Lower God—you're miles away from Middle God, let alone Upper or Primary.]

[Xianyun: Inukimi speaks truth. Don't aim too high. Upper Gods must comprehend at least 50% of a rule. They become avatars of that rule.]

[Yae Miko: Upper Gods were considered Archons in the old world~]

[Lumine: Okay, okay—enough squabbling. Look at me! Let me be your shining example of a Primary God!]

The group fell silent. After all, Lumine was now a Primary God.

With the new divine hierarchy revealed, everyone now understood how prestigious the Primary God title truly was—a sovereign within a specific rule domain.

[Lumine: Now listen up—the three new worlds have been identified. Soon, all Primary Gods will begin assembling divine-level forces across Teyvat, along with some quasi-gods, to launch full-scale invasions into these other worlds.]

[Lumine: This is your golden opportunity! Complete your missions, and you could go from quasi-god to Lower God, Lower to Middle, Middle to Upper—and Upper to Primary!]

[Fairy Inukimi: cough cough... Miss Lumine, the Underworld's Primary Gods are already gathering everyone. I'll be logging off now.]

[Kamisato Ayaka: The Shogun is summoning me too—I'll be heading out.]

[Xianyun: The Geo Lord has summoned me as well.]

[Jean: Same here.]

[Lumine: Eh?! What's going on?! I'm not done yet! I'm not done!]

[Lumine: What I meant to say was—since I'm also a Primary God—want to team up? Hey! Don't leave! Wait—!]

...Gone...

After returning from the Hall of Gods, the Primary Gods immediately sent messages within their respective factions, summoning their divine subordinates. Ever since the chat group function appeared, each Primary God had created their own group, making communication extremely convenient.

At Jueyun Karst, Mt. Aocang, Zhongli stood with his hands behind his back, now appearing in his divine dragon-headed human form. His form was ever-changing, and during the Archon War, he had often presented himself to mortals in this shape. The gods and adepts of Liyue were familiar with this form and showed no surprise.

Of course, he chose this appearance for a particular reason—this time, he had summoned some Liyue individuals who had obtained Visions, including Director Hu.

To maintain his ability to leisurely drink tea and stroll through Liyue Harbor in the future, he had to maintain a more authoritative presence.

The gods, adepti, and Vision holders of Liyue arrived one after another.

At this moment, Liyue had over twenty gods, most of whom were powerful yokai or wilds gods who had ascended from the lower realms. Among them were powerful beings like Toga, Nurarihyon, Hosenki, Bokuseno, and Ameka. These mighty creatures had all chosen to stay within Liyue's divine faction due to their contracts with Morax.

"Greetings, Sovereign!" The gods and immortals spoke in unison.

Behind them, the Liyue Vision holders quickly knelt, gazing in reverence at the dragon-headed form of the Geo Archon.

Hu Tao tilted her chin up, her plum blossom-shaped eyes wide with awe.

"Oh my! It's really the Sovereign, the Lord of Geo!"

Though she had seen this form several times during the Rite of Parting, this was the first time she had observed it so closely. However, something about the Sovereign's aura felt oddly familiar.

It must be her imagination—after all, she offered incense to the Geo Archon every day, which surely explained the familiarity.

Still, she was surprised at how many gods Liyue had. She began counting: one, two... twenty-seven!

Even Ningguang, Keqing, Xiangling, and Yanfei had all ascended to godhood before her. Just recently, she had excitedly discussed this very possibility with them, but they had outrun her completely.

As a new member of the divine chat group, she had learned quite a lot.

Though Liyue had many gods, there was a strict order to their seating arrangements. Mid-tier gods stood at the front, followed by lower-tier gods. The newly ascended gods—Ningguang, Keqing, Shenhe, Xiangling, and Yanfei—stood with solemn expressions.

Aside from a few Vision holders who were unaware, most of those present understood the significance of this meeting.

With his hands still clasped behind his back, Zhongli's golden eyes swept across the assembled gods of Liyue.

"You are all aware of the situation through the Divine Pantheon Blueprint system. You understand just how rare an opportunity this is."

His golden eyes then settled on the resurrected Yakshas and immortals, his gaze filled with expectation.

The Yakshas and immortals needed no further explanation. This was their chance to ascend. If they missed it, they would not only disappoint the Sovereign but also themselves.

Meanwhile, Guizhong, Azhdaha, and Marchosius observed the gathering from a floating pavilion above Mt. Aocang.

Guizhong turned to Marchosius. "You cannot slack off, Marchosius. If you don't put in the effort, others will surpass you."

The young girl-like form of Azhdaha chimed in, "That's right! If I were you, I'd be absolutely mortified."

Marchosius sighed. "It's not that I don't want to improve, but I was never a combat-oriented god. This is quite a dilemma for me."

Azhdaha grinned mischievously. "Just stick close to Morax and leech off his merits! Before you know it, you'll have climbed the ranks. Leeching off Morax's achievements isn't shameful."

Marchosius groaned. "It is quite shameful..."

Azhdaha smirked. "Well then, will you leech off Guizhong's merits or Morax's?"

Makoshus: "I'll go with Morax."

Guizhong chuckled quietly at the side.

...

Inazuma.

Inazuma did not have many gods, and the number of Vision holders was also fewer than in other nations, but their combat strength was formidable.

Raiden Makoto and Raiden Ei both knelt in the honored seats of Tenshukaku, looking at the gods seated on either side and the Vision holders gathered in the hall as they discussed the upcoming plan.

Inazuma had no lower-ranked gods, but there were five mid-ranked gods, with the rest being quasi-gods or Vision holders.

...

Sumeru.

The Greater Lord Rukkhadevata and the Lesser Lord Kusanali sat on their thrones, gazing at the assembled Sumeru gods and elites.

Sumeru had never undertaken such a mission before—this was the first time.

Because of this, the nation did not have many gods. Rukkhadevata was also reluctant to lower herself by recruiting gods from Morax's divine domain, so aside from herself and Nahida, the only other god was Apep, a high-ranked god.

Additionally, there was a lower-ranked god who had settled in Sumeru—the Witch of Dreams, Nicole Reeyn.

The rest were all quasi-gods or Vision holders.

However, she was not in a hurry. Once this mission was completed, Sumeru would be able to stand on equal footing with the other nations.

...

Fontaine.

At the Opéra Epiclese, Focalors stood on the stage, delivering a rousing speech about venturing into another world.

In the audience, sitting upright in neat rows, were the gods and Vision holders of Fontaine. Among them was the astrologer Barbeloth, who had already ascended to the rank of a lower god.

Mona had long since unlocked four constellations. At first, she had been utterly astonished, but now that she understood the world well enough, she remained unfazed.

After all, she had personally witnessed three individuals ascend to godhood at the same time.

...

Snezhnaya.

Inside Zapolyarny Palace, the Empress, Tsaritsa, sat on her throne, gazing at the group of Fatui Harbingers kneeling before her on one knee.

All of these Harbingers had already attained the status of quasi-gods.

"Among the seven nations, Snezhnaya is currently the weakest. Aside from myself, we have no solid divine foundation."

"And why is that?"

"Because we have been toyed with by fate. We are a nation of the guilty."

"Thus, we must achieve immense merit to cleanse ourselves of our original sins. Only with sufficient accomplishments can we begin to restore our standing in the eyes of Lord Heavenly Principle."

"Do you all understand what must be done?"

All the Harbingers straightened their backs, their gazes firm as they shouted in unison: "Yes!"

Tsaritsa nodded. "Of course, beyond atoning for our sins, the benefits of this endeavor should be clear to you all."

"Upon our return, some of you will ascend to the rank of lower gods, some to mid-ranked gods, and perhaps some may even become upper gods."

The Tsaritsa's words stirred the Harbingers, their auras surging with excitement, flames of ambition burning in their eyes.

"However... some of you may also perish."

Tartaglia, his eyes ablaze with fervent battle spirit, shouted, "We will make Snezhnaya great again!"

The Harbingers echoed his cry.

"Make Snezhnaya great again—!"

The roar from Zapolyarny Palace spread throughout the entire city, as the cry for the nation's resurgence resounded across the land.
