Genshin Impact: I, Heavenly Principle, Will Make Teyvat Supreme-Chapter 156: A New Pantheon Structure and Opening the Path to Supreme Godhood

"The new pantheon structure is as follows."

"Anyone who has lit their fourth constellation with a Vision, or any lifeform in the universe that has acquired the essence of divinity, shall be entered into the pantheon as a Genshin, or quasi-god."

"The divine ranks now proceed as: Lower God, Middle God, Upper God, Primary God, Supreme God, and Holy God."

"Those who achieve godhood through ordinary divine essence become Lower Gods."

"Those who ascend through a Vision become Middle Gods."

"As before, the key distinction remains—those who have grasped a domain's rule are Middle Gods."

"Now, the most important level—Upper God. An Upper God must control over half of their domain's rules within the Teyvat Universe, becoming a true embodiment of those laws."

Some gods in the crowd felt a sudden jolt of panic. Were they about to be downgraded to Upper Gods? Anxiety rippled through them.

But the next words brought a wave of relief.

"Primary Gods are those who have mastered more than 50% of a rule domain in Teyvat, becoming its undisputed sovereign."

Behind Noah, the Primordial Law Ring appeared, and his golden eyes glowed faintly.

"Next, I will open the promotion path to Supreme Godhood."

At this, all the gods' hearts began pounding.

The path to Supreme Godhood?! Were they dreaming?

They, as Primary Gods, understood all too well what Supreme God status meant.

No one dared speak. They stared intently at the Lord Heavenly Principle.

"The Kabbalah has now been planted in the Teyvat Universe. The divine ladder to godhood has been opened. To become a Supreme God, one must accumulate their understanding of the universe's truths."

"Promotion to Supreme God can only come from personal enlightenment. When one's comprehension of one of the two Grand Truths reaches 10%, they will naturally ascend."

Noah tapped the throne's armrest with a finger as he spoke.

Opening the path to Supreme Godhood was not a spur-of-the-moment decision.

The Kabbalah was meant to be the ladder for all sentient life in the universe.

He could not seal off that path and suppress advancement.

Supreme Gods, after all, varied greatly in power.

Those who reached Supreme Godhood through enlightenment of the universe's truths were like reservoirs—gradually filling up over time. But those who had mastered fundamental particles were like natural springs—pouring forth power endlessly.

And those tapped by him, like the Four Shades, were his personal blades, sharing a portion of his power.

Still, the truth-enlightened Supreme Gods were far from weak.

Universal truth was the ultimate currency of power across all worlds. Beneath truth, all must yield.

That was no exaggeration.

Of course, that wasn't even the most critical part.

The most important thing was that the universal truths comprehended by the gods were additional—they increased the quality of the Kabbalah.

In other words, the more truths the gods comprehended, the higher the quality of truth possessed by its wielder—Noah himself.

It was a virtuous cycle.

Zhongli took a deep breath. The path to Supreme Godhood had been opened!

He had thought the position of Primary God was the ceiling. He never imagined there was room to ascend further.

All he needed was to comprehend universal truth!

He already understood what universal truth was. Now, any Primary God possessed a divine core imbued with the essence of truth.

So that was the road to Supreme Godhood.

As long as he could understand truth and continue expanding that understanding, the Supreme God seat would no longer be out of reach.

Passion that had lain dormant for countless years surged through his heart.

And it wasn't just Zhongli. All the Primary Gods were heating up, as if a fire had been lit within them.

Venti shouted in excitement, "Lord Heavenly Principle is merciful! I, Barbatos, will devote myself wholly to Teyvat until my dying breath!"

The other gods were about to join in when Noah raised his hand, signaling silence.

Phanes gave Venti a calm look. Venti instantly froze.

Oops—he'd gotten too excited and instinctively started flattering the Lord Heavenly Principle... forgetting who else was watching.

He shrank back, smiling awkwardly, now sitting upright like a nervous schoolboy.

Noah continued.

"Additionally, there's the matter of time discrepancy between godhood ascension in the main world and the subordinate worlds."

"Because the subordinate worlds experience faster time flow, they produce gods far more rapidly than the main world. This creates imbalance."

"Therefore, I will no longer restrict the faith system. Faith from the subordinate worlds will now be allowed to flow into the main world."

The main world's slower ascension rate was primarily due to Noah having restricted the influx of faith.

Otherwise, with a time difference of thirty to one—thirty years in a subordinate world for every year in the main world—the vast belief power would have long since caused Vision holders in the main world to ascend.

With the faith system now open, cultivating in the main world would be like training for a day in the heavens and gaining a year's worth of progress.

Previously, the faith system hadn't been opened due to concerns that ascensions would happen too fast, overwhelming the world before enough conquests had been made.

But now, with new divine realms created and the rapid expansion of the main world's landmass, such concerns had faded.

The Seven Nations' combined territory had already increased by a quarter compared to before.

Scholars across the nations had begun researching this spatial growth phenomenon.

With faith now unrestricted, the quasi-gods who had lit their fourth constellation in the main world would become true gods within days, with some lucky ones ascending instantly.

"Now, the final point of the pantheon restructuring."

"I will open up all of the Teyvat Universe's rules to Lower, Middle, and Upper Gods for comprehension."

"Among the existing gods, those who control less than 50% of their domain's rules shall all be downgraded to Upper Gods."

As he finished speaking, the Primordial Law Ring behind Noah radiated outward, emitting all the universal rules.

The ring gradually dimmed, and the rules merged into the fabric of the Teyvat Universe.

Once the diffusion was complete, the Primordial Law Ring disappeared.

Of course, this didn't mean the ring was gone forever.

If he wished, Noah could summon it back instantly.

As for the rules now comprehended by the gods—they remained under his control. The gods were only granted usage rights.

"Alright, next is the most important part—the core topic of this meeting: Teyvat Universe Phase Two—The Ascension to a Galaxy-Level Universe Plan."

"Currently, the Teyvat Universe is still a low-tier microcosm—not even at the stellar system level. Our next goal is to elevate Teyvat to stellar system-level mass, then galactic-level, and finally into a grand cosmos."

As Noah spoke, the gods—already exhilarated from the opening of the Supreme God pathway—were wide-eyed, his words ringing powerfully in their minds.

They fully understood the concept of the universe by now.

They were all aware that Teyvat was still a minimal, low-mass microcosm.

But they couldn't help imagining a stellar-level or even galaxy-level Teyvat—the vastness and magnificence of it.

It was an unimaginable epic in the making.

After Barbatos had been warned with just a look from Phanes, none of the gods dared interrupt with questions.

After all, when the Lord Heavenly Principle was speaking, who were they to speak?

Barbatos would probably be facing a bit of "special treatment" from Phanes in the future.

And such minor disciplinary actions by higher gods were definitely not something the Lord Heavenly Principle would concern himself with. There wasn't even a place to file a complaint.

"Currently, I've already located the second-phase worlds. By annexing the first two, our Teyvat Universe will reach stellar system-level mass."

As Noah spoke, he transmitted information on three worlds directly into the minds of all present.

"Upon annexing the third world, our Teyvat Universe will successfully ascend to galaxy-level."

The gods quickly processed the information about the three target worlds.

Even the Seven Archons, already familiar with the diversity of other worlds, couldn't help feeling dazed.

No wonder these were marked as second-phase worlds—the quality gap was exponential.

In the initial phase, though the first three worlds varied in size and complexity, none had real gods.

That was why they were able to conquer them so easily.

The first target world didn't have gods—but it did have humans who surpassed even Supreme Gods, possibly even Holy Gods.

Actually, the first target world wasn't even a "world" in the typical sense.

It was a single, seemingly unremarkable planet in a vast stellar system within a large universe.

It just so happened to be special.

Even though it was merely a planet, aside from that one extraordinary human, there were still many beings at Primary God-level, with not a few who qualified as full-fledged gods.

The second world was even more formidable.

A vast multiversal structure formed by multiple worlds wrapped in interdimensional space.

It was filled with pantheons—gods were as numerous as cattle.

Among them were planet-busters, with over ten surface-level entities.

Keep in mind: among the strongest Primary Gods, the Seven Archons only reached continent-level. The lowest-ranked Supreme God was merely surface-level.

In other words, they'd need upper-tier Supreme Gods or even Holy Gods to stand toe-to-toe with the enemy.

As for the third world? There was no need to even speak.

Just the second world was enough to make everyone tense. Even the Supreme Gods had solemn expressions.

Except Esdeath. Her eyes were blazing with excitement.

She had barely lasted a few moves in her bout with the Ruler of Death. The Abyss Overlord wouldn't even agree to spar.

Now that she finally had opponents at her level, she was downright euphoric.

Noah looked at the gods, who clearly wanted to speak but held back, and sighed.

"I don't want to use such a direct method of violent invasion either."

"But there's an unbridgeable gap between a world with gods and one without."

"Gods are the chosen stewards of all existence within their realms."

"To annex another's world is, from their perspective, tantamount to destruction. No matter how much we explain, invaders are never trusted."

"What's more, once a world is annexed, they can't be sure of their future. So naturally, they'll resist with everything they have."

"Until one side is utterly defeated."

Noah's golden eyes sharpened, and as his mood shifted, his aura flowed out naturally.

Sensing his aura, all the gods instantly understood the will of the Heavenly Principles.

Though they felt some pity in their hearts, none of them would show mercy when it came to such matters of survival.

As gods who had survived the brutal Archon War, they understood the most fundamental rule of this world:

Survival of the fittest.

If your world has caught our eye, and you're on the weaker side, and annexing your world benefits our world immensely—

Then your world will be annexed.

Because you're the weak.

Power dynamics can shift. Morality can be flipped.

To you, we may be evil. But to us—we are justice.

After all, your world lacks a Heavenly Principle.

"Three days from now, the gates to the three target worlds will open in the Divine Realm. Prepare accordingly."

"Of course, do not neglect maintaining order in Teyvat just because you're conquering other worlds. How you balance that is your problem."

"That's all I have to say. Any final comments?"

Noah's golden gaze swept across the gods' thrones.

Zhongli spoke first.

"When conquering other worlds with gods of their own, must we completely exterminate them?"

Venti raised his hand. "I was wondering the same—if we're expected to eliminate all their gods, they'll definitely fight back with everything they've got, and we'll suffer heavy losses."

The other gods all nodded. That was their greatest concern.

After all, in a war between gods, who could expect no casualties?

Phanes responded coldly, "Your duty is to conquer the other worlds for Teyvat. Afraid of death? If you don't give your all, I'll reduce you back to pure rule before you even reach the battlefield."

Thud!

All the gods froze. A suffocating, murderous atmosphere settled over the hall.

Zhongli remained outwardly composed, but inwardly, he felt shaken.

He had merely offered a suggestion.

This lady... she was as cold and ruthless as ever.

Venti's eyes darted about in panic as he swallowed nervously.

Noah waved his hand, dispelling Phanes' oppressive aura, and silently gave her a thumbs-up in his heart.

Not bad at all. His top wife sure knew how to play the villain perfectly.

Just look at those stiff faces.

"Alright, there's no need to kill all their gods. I'll temporarily grant you permission to recruit otherworldly gods into the pantheon. If they're willing to submit, induct them."

"If not—then give them a dignified end."

"Also, king to king, general to general—handle your roles accordingly."

"Anything else to add?"

The gods said nothing, signaling they were done.

"Then go and prepare. Three days from now, we launch a full-scale invasion of the other worlds."
