Genshin Impact: I, Heavenly Principle, Will Make Teyvat Supreme-Chapter 188: These Girls Will All Be Taken by the Master
Chapter 188 - These Girls Will All Be Taken by the Master
At this moment, the size of the Abyss had become truly immense.
Although it wasn't as large as the Teyvat Continent, it still covered about one-third of its area—vast enough to contain thousands of the former Seven Nations.
With the growth of the Teyvat Universe, the Abyss had also birthed many floating continents.
However, for now, these floating continents were all barren.
The only lands full of vitality remained the original Abyssal continent and the pre-existing Crimson Moon.
After the Authority of the Moon emerged, the Crimson Moon also gained its corresponding authority, although it was only at the First-tier Primary God level.
The Abyss had grown so enormous and had so many barren lands—it was no wonder that the Abyss Monarch, Aether, was so overwhelmed.
After all, the stronger the Abyss became, the stronger he would become as its Monarch.
While he had mastered a portion of the Abyss' total rules, this portion accounted for less than ten percent of the Abyss' full rule count.
Thus, he was only a Third-tier Supreme God.
The Abyss itself was the dark side of the Teyvat Universe. Aether didn't need to comprehend truths—the Abyss' strength was directly tied to his own.
All he needed to do was steadily develop the "Abyss" to eventually grasp its complete set of rules.
By then, he would naturally ascend to a First-tier Supreme God.
As someone who had traveled through many great universes, Aether naturally understood how astonishing a Supreme God could be.
For instance, he had once visited a great universe ruled by Aeons.
Once the Teyvat Universe grew into a great universe, Supreme Gods would rival those Aeons.
Reaching First-tier Supreme God and comprehending all universal Rules would essentially mean "I am the Universe."
Thus, while the Teyvat Universe was still relatively small and rules were easier to comprehend, he had to seize the opportunity to learn as much as possible.
Otherwise, when the universe expanded into a great universe, comprehending rules would become an utterly hopeless endeavor.
And to quickly gain mastery over a large portion of rules, he had to fully activate the entire Abyss.
Those floating continents needed to be developed—but there was a severe manpower shortage.
Moreover, he couldn't forcibly recruit gods to work in the Abyss; exposure to Abyssal corruption would inevitably cause issues even among normal gods.
Thus, no new gods had ever been willing to join the Abyss' faction.
Even his bratty little sister shunned the Abyss.
The Abyss' own birth of new gods was far too slow. Even with Rhinedottir frantically creating monsters, the best she could produce were Upper Gods.
Primary Gods were simply impossible.
This time, however, the worlds they annexed brought him great joy.
Those mythological worlds were full of evil gods and malevolent deities—there were so many, he couldn't be happier.
Moreover, Lord Heavenly Principle had even entrusted him with a Supreme God-level Apocalypse Beast to oversee.
Though the Apocalypse Beast was a lower-grade Supreme God, holding only a few Rules, it was still a godsend for Aether.
At last, the floating continents of the Abyss had a workforce.
With the evil gods acting as laborers, working tirelessly for decades without rest, they would surely finish cultivating the floating continents.
Seated upon his divine throne, Aether looked down at the crowd of kneeling Upper and Middle Gods below, now reduced to "consumables," and nodded in satisfaction.
"Very good. Enjou, once your merits are tallied and you're promoted to Primary Gods, you can take these 'consumables' to pioneer the continents. You'll just act as supervisors."
The Abyssal gods burst into tears of gratitude.
"Our Monarch finally no longer treats us like beasts of burden."
"Our Monarch is truly too kind."
"Thank the Abyss."
...
At the same time—
In a ship forged from divine metals of Teyvat's main world—
This ship sailed through the cosmic space at the edge of the Teyvat Main World.
Due to the qualitative transformation of time and space concepts within the Teyvat Universe...
Noah didn't deliberately isolate the planets and plane worlds from each other through spacetime barriers.
After all, from the perspective of spacetime, these worlds intersected yet remained unaffected by one another. Without a Middle God-level strength, it was impossible for gods to freely travel between worlds.
Even for those capable of traversing the worlds, it would be like a blind man groping an elephant—easy to get lost in the entangled spacetime layers.
This ship had been built personally by Lumine, the omnipotent Traveler who could craft anything.
This Divine Ship served as the base for her Traveler Pantheon, allowing her to voyage through the many realms of the Teyvat Universe.
Noah couldn't help but mutter: Was this a tribute to the neighboring great universe's Trailblaze Aeon, "Akivili"?
But it also fit Lumine's identity perfectly. Before arriving at Teyvat, she had traveled countless worlds.
She herself had the ability to cross worlds, so it was only natural that she would continue her journeys across the realms.
After all, a Traveler could never stay idle.
...
Inside the Divine Ship—
Lumine had already gathered many members into her Traveler Pantheon from various worlds—mostly famous beautiful girls from different worlds.
Among them were the ones who had previously joined: Rias Gremory and her peerage, Sona Sitri and her followers, and the Norse Valkyrie Rossweisse.
There was also the current Satan, Serafall Leviathan, formerly of the Underworld, now renamed Devil Realm to avoid confusion with Teyvat's Underworld.
Additionally, Lumine had found Asia Argento, a nun by accident.
And there were others from her chat group friends: Saeko Busujima, Kisara Tendo, Akame, Mine, and more...
There were also Kikyo, Kagome, Alice, and several others who had joined out of a desire to see other worlds.
The Divine Ship might not appear large on the outside, but its interior was its own small world.
...
Standing proudly in the spacious, temple-like ship hall, Lumine placed her hands on her hips and lifted her chin proudly.
"My Traveler Pantheon! Our first voyage begins—now!"
"Ooooohhh—!!"
Cheers echoed through the temple. Everyone was excited to travel across the realms.
Rias: "Lady Lumine, where will our first stop be?"
Alice: "Yeah! The Teyvat Universe now has so many worlds—even tons of parallel Earths."
Lumine instantly froze: "Ah... this..." Uh oh, I don't have a spacetime map! What should I do, just sail randomly?
Sona quickly caught on to Lumine's confusion and said, "Wherever Lady Lumine wishes to go, we shall follow."
Akame nodded solemnly: "Anywhere is fine for me."
Kisara Tendo scratched her head: "Since we're the Traveler Pantheon, of course it should be a journey without a set destination~"
Saeko Busujima smiled warmly: "We followed you to witness the many worlds' scenery, didn't we?"
Lumine nodded: "That's true. In that case..."
Just as Lumine was about to wave her hand and set sail randomly, a familiar voice suddenly echoed through the ship.
"Lumine, looks like you can't do without your best guide after all."
"You can't just sail recklessly through the Teyvat Universe spacetime. It's very easy to get lost in the interwoven layers of time and space—and once lost, it's extremely hard to get out."
"If you truly wish to journey across the worlds, then I must accompany you—so you don't end up spinning in circles helplessly."
Everyone in the cabin froze and looked behind their Primary God, where a slender figure, dressed in white, appeared. Lumine reflexively turned around, her face lighting up with surprise.
"Wow! Paimon?"
It was their first reunion since Paimon's revelation as the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles and their subsequent parting.
Until now, their interactions had only been through private chats in the Chat Group, since Paimon, as a Supreme God, didn't mingle casually with lower gods.
Even during the mission to conquer otherworlds, though they had met, they hadn't really spoken—after all, Paimon had been busy subduing the otherworlds.
Paimon stood with hands on her hips: "Long time no see, Lumine. Looks like you're doing pretty well! Much more impressive than when you were stealing bird eggs and fishing in rivers."
Lumine quickly gave a thumbs-up, her face full of sunshine: "Of course! I'm a Primary God of my own pantheon now!" Her eyes sparkled brightly.
"You're here to help me, right? Paimon, you really are my best friend!"
Paimon chuckled at Lumine's sparkling eyes: "Since your Traveler Pantheon is just starting out, of course I had to come help as a good friend."
"But mainly, I'm maintaining the order of the universe. I happened to reach this region and will continue patrolling across various timespaces afterward."
"For now, our paths overlap."
As she spoke, a projection of a Star Rail Map appeared in Paimon's hand.
"This is the spacetime map of the Teyvat Universe. Spacetime constantly shifts—you must follow its rules when traveling, or you might get trapped in a spacetime vortex."
"Even Primary Gods can easily lose their way."
Lumine patted her chest confidently: "I understand, I understand. Don't forget, I'm a seasoned Traveler across worlds!"
Then, she asked quietly:
"Hehe, Paimon, as a Supreme God and the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles, can you secretly tell me how far my Traveler Pantheon will rise in the future?"
Paimon froze, glancing at the members of the Traveler Pantheon, her expression growing odd.
As the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles, she could naturally sense the will of Heavenly Principle—including fate, future, and more.
This wasn't just a Traveler Pantheon... These girls' futures? Hmm... once they grew strong enough, they would all be gathered by their master, including Lumine.
Completely and utterly gathered.
Actually, Alice had already been "taken." Once she officially ascended to godhood, she would be able to enter the Garden on her own, having already received the qualification long ago.
Seeing Paimon's strange expression, Lumine asked nervously: "What's wrong? Is my pantheon doomed to collapse?"
Paimon snapped out of it and gave a wry smile: "No, no—that's not it. Lumine, your pantheon's future is extremely bright. It will reach the very top."
Lumine crossed her arms proudly and raised her chin: "I knew it! With my abilities, I'm at least on par with those old-timers."
Alice suddenly waved her hand: "Hey, hey! Lord Sustainer of Heavenly Principles, it's me, Alice! We've met before, remember?"
Alice vividly remembered the days when she and a dozen other girls had served the Heavenly Principle together.
Those days—no one would believe it if she told the story. Back then, she hadn't even been a god—just a little elf who managed to ascend to the bed of a universal ruler.
Among those girls, the lowest ranked were gods; the highest could now create entire plane worlds.
Hearing Alice's address, everyone else was stunned.
"Sustainer of Heavenly Principles"—wasn't that one of the Six Supreme Gods?
And this was the same Supreme God rumored to have a close relationship with their Primary God!
Aside from Kagome and Kikyo, who already knew Noah and had even been favored by him, the others grew nervous, their hearts pounding as they lowered their heads, not daring to be disrespectful.
Paimon waved at Alice: "Long time no see, Alice."
Then, through mental communication, she added:
"Alice, after you ascend to godhood, return to the Garden."
Alice's eyes lit up—could it be that Lord Heavenly Principle had something good prepared for her?
After all, he always rewarded based on effort.
...
The Divine Ship of the Traveler Pantheon set sail, entering the spacetime of the Teyvat Universe.
From this point on, the Traveler Pantheon would leave myths and legends throughout the various worlds of the Teyvat Universe.
Other pantheons might be hard to encounter, but the Traveler Pantheon might just appear randomly in your world.
...
Inazuma.
After Raiden Ei and Raiden Makoto returned to Inazuma, the entire city erupted into celebration.
The people didn't even know what festival it was—but if the Shogun decreed a celebration, then it was a day to be happy!
Nowadays, Inazuma's people lived peacefully and prosperously. Even the Grand Narukami Shrine had opened dojos throughout Inazuma to teach Onmyoudo, swordsmanship, and more.
Inazuma had already become a near-divine realm, comparable to Liyue.
If lucky, citizens might even receive personal tutelage from a god.
With Teyvat Continent's expansion by a factor of ten thousand, each of Inazuma's islands was now larger than the entire former Inazuma combined—calling them continents would not be an exaggeration.
The same transformation had occurred in the other nations.
Now, Mt. Yougou had become a true divine mountain, and around the summit, where the Grand Narukami Shrine was located, a small world had formed.
Within the shrine, Raiden Ei and Raiden Makoto sat upon their divine thrones, satisfied as they gazed upon their flourishing Inazuma Pantheon.
"Everyone has done well this time. Especially the Kamisato siblings—you were already Middle Gods, and now you are sure to ascend to Upper Gods."
Kamisato Ayaka quickly bowed: "We merely basked in Shogun-sama's light. We contributed little yet received much—we feel somewhat ashamed."
Raiden Makoto smiled gently: "Ayaka, your contributions are greater than you realize."
Yae Miko, lazily cradling a stack of fried tofu, her violet eyes glancing at Ayaka, said:
"Ayaka is as humble as ever."
After all, being favored by Lord Heavenly Principle was an achievement in itself.
Raiden Makoto's gaze fell on a lower-realm girl, Mitsuri Kanroji, who looked bashful and uneasy at the back.
"Our Inazuma Pantheon follows the elite path. After the merit tally, all our new gods will be Middle Gods, and all existing Middle Gods will ascend to Upper Gods. Among all pantheons, we will be among the top. No need to be nervous—let's celebrate together."
"Yes, Shogun-sama!" the gods responded with respectful bows.
After benefiting greatly from previous experiences, Raiden Makoto had especially focused on cultivating beautiful Vision holders from Inazuma and promising Vision bearers from the lower realms.
Her close confidants—Kujou Sara, Yoimiya, Sangonomiya Kokomi, Kuki Shinobu, and Kirara—were all part of her plans.
She hoped that next time Lord Heavenly Principle descended upon Inazuma, he might favor a few of them.
...
Back at the Garden in Celestia, Noah sensed the distant emotions and couldn't help but laugh.
"Makoto, you really are thinking for me... but I do appreciate it."
"Now then, it's about time to distribute the rewards that everyone has been waiting for."
"After the rewards, the rankings of the Primary Gods will be reshuffled."
