Genshin Impact: I, Heavenly Principle, Will Make Teyvat Supreme-Chapter 173: Teyvat Now Possesses the Dimensional Gap

A phantom of the Teyvat Universe erupted with unimaginable suction power.

Like a cosmic black hole, it continuously drew out the Red Dragon God Emperor's power, binding her upon the divine ring.

Not only that, but even the Dimensional Gap surrounding the divine ring was being pulled in.

Yet despite Teyvat frantically absorbing the Dimensional Gap, not a single bit was truly diminished. Whatever was drawn in was replenished almost instantaneously.

It was like scooping a ladle of water from the ocean—utterly negligible, leaving the vastness of the "superdimension" unchanged.

The Red Dragon God Emperor felt her very existence being drained. Her crimson-gold dragon eyes now filled with fear.

Being killed or subdued didn't frighten her. As the embodiment of Truth, she would be reborn as long as the Truth itself remained intact.

But now, her source—her Truth—was being siphoned away by an invisible force.

That realization struck terror into her soul.

"What are you doing!? Stop! Please stop! I already cast aside my pride and submitted to you! STOP!"

Her weak voice erupted into a hysterical scream at the brink of life and death. She thrashed violently, but couldn't move even an inch.

Noah clicked his tongue. "Be quiet. Be good. It'll be over soon."

He extended his hand toward the Red Dragon God Emperor and closed his eyes.

The Teyvat Universe's suction power toward this Dimensional Gap multiplied several times over.

"ROOOAAARRR—!"

The Red Dragon God Emperor's despairing roar echoed across the Dimensional Gap and into the DXD world, heard by all divine-level beings within.

From Noah's perspective, the Dream Truth was gradually merging into the Teyvat Universe.

The outer barrier of Teyvat became coated with a multi-colored aurora, which began to cool and condense into an ethereal mist.

The moment the Dream Truth was fully absorbed and marked with Teyvat's signature, the dreams and desires of all beings in the universe flooded into it, increasing its density.

Concepts of "reality" and "illusion" began to sprout across Teyvat.

At its most basic, this meant a story like "Magic Brush" could become real—a mere painting could bring fantasy to life.

The Dream Truth, put simply, was the power to "break the fourth wall."

Unfortunately, the Dream Truth obtained was still of the lowest grade.

Moreover, worlds possessing the Dream Truth were extremely rare.

But Teyvat wasn't just absorbing the Dream Truth—it was also devouring the concept of the Dimensional Gap itself.

Outside the cosmic boundary of Teyvat, the Dimensional Gap began to take root.

If a being capable of traversing the Sea of Quanta were present, they would see the cosmic shell of a small universe being rapidly engulfed by this abstract construct, utterly distinct from the sea.

The rate of encapsulation had already exceeded the speed of light.

Even so, it still took nearly an hour to fully wrap around Teyvat, which now spanned the size of a small star system.

After completely enveloping Teyvat, the Dimensional Gap continued to expand.

If Teyvat had once been the size of a soccer ball, it now rivaled the size of a round table.

At this moment, the rules of the Sea of Quanta could no longer influence the Teyvat Universe and had instead begun to be affected by Teyvat in return.

The "Tree and Sea" worldview was indeed multiversal in scale, but now, the Teyvat Universe, wrapped in the Dimensional Gap, had completely detached from the Imaginary Tree and Sea of Quanta and formed its own independent worldview.

Even if the Tree and Sea were to cast out Teyvat from its domain, the Teyvat Universe could still stably exist within the superdimension.

However, for the Tree and Sea to develop a true repulsion to Teyvat's growth, Teyvat would likely have to reach the level of a singular universe.

And once Teyvat became a singular universe, the Tree and Sea wouldn't be able to simply expel it at will.

After all, "I've already come, how could you possibly drive me away?"

The Sea of Quanta—a vast ocean of nourishment. To not drain it dry would be a sin.

The Red Dragon God Emperor's body gradually faded into a dreamlike haze as the Dream Truth continued to be drawn out of her.

Just as she was about to lose consciousness, the existence that had been drained from her began returning.

This brought her back from the brink of death.

In the next instant, however, she understood the truth.

What returned to her had already been completely branded by another world. Her very being had been forcibly linked to another universe.

She had transitioned from being a guardian of the DXD World to a guardian of the Teyvat Universe.

Her crimson-gold dragon eyes regained clarity as she looked, full of complex emotions, at the "One True God" who had orchestrated everything.

She had become a possession of his world.

As the embodiment of Truth, and now that the Dream Truth had been absorbed by him, her very life and death were entirely under his control.

She could also sense the immense strength of his universe.

Unlike the fragmented structure of the DXD World—composed of many separate worlds—his universe was a vast, unified whole, with solid and expansive rules and overwhelmingly powerful truths.

A single world from DXD was equivalent to just a single planet in his universe.

After finishing its feast, Teyvat finally stopped devouring the Dimensional Gap.

Noah, now feeling the immense power of the newly acquired Dream Truth and Dimensional Force, was deeply satisfied.

"I've grown stronger again. Ah... the hardship of growing strong, how exhausting it is for someone like me."

He mused that once he finished conquering the DXD World, he definitely deserved a little reward—perhaps a celebration with the world's goddesses.

He withdrew the divine ring, and the Truth that had been suppressing the Dimensional Gap faded away.

The Red Dragon God Emperor, now freed, looked at the comparatively tiny Noah with complicated eyes. Slowly, she lowered her mighty head and whispered softly:

"Master..."

Noah nodded matter-of-factly.

Now that the Red Dragon God Emperor was completely under his control, she could be fully trusted. The Teyvat Universe was now enveloped by the Dimensional Gap, and from now on, she would continue guarding this world—but it would now be Teyvat.

Of course, the Dimensional Gap served more purposes than that.

Noah was laying the groundwork for Teyvat Universe's eventual evolution into a multiversal entity. Once the Teyvat Universe gave rise to Supreme Gods who comprehended truth, they would be capable of opening up new worlds within the Dimensional Gap.

The stronger the foundations he laid now, the greater the power Teyvat Universe would gain when it evolved into a "single-universe-level" world with fragments of multiversal strength. This transitional form was also known as a "super single-universe," and by then, Noah would ascend in one leap to become a super single-universe-level being.

Only at that stage, within the superdimensional realm, would one be considered truly omniscient and omnipotent.

Even if the universe itself were erased, such a being could forcibly restore it.

There were already worlds with far greater strength than a single-universe level—like the "Toaru Majutsu no Index" (Magic Index) world. But without expanding outward, such strength was meaningless.

This was where the Dimensional Gap came into play.

As the womb of world creation, the Dimensional Gap allowed powerful beings to expand infinitely without being confined to the main universe.

And yet, even if they created separate worlds, they would still belong to Teyvat.

Their strength would continue fueling Teyvat's growth.

Teyvat had a structure similar to Little Garden. In the future, the worlds created by the gods would become subordinate "observational universes."

But that was a discussion for the future—they were still only in the "second stage." Reaching single-universe level would be part of the "third stage."

Noah looked at the Red Dragon God Emperor, who bowed before him.

"Shrink your form and take human shape."

The Red Dragon God Emperor replied softly, "Yes, Master."

Her massive red dragon body released a dreamy glow and turned into countless five-colored bubbles.

The bubbles quickly compressed into a single point.

From them emerged a tall, voluptuous woman with long crimson hair flowing to her hips. She looked as if she had just stepped out of a divine painting, like a beauty emerging from a bath.

Her crimson-golden eyes carried a serene detachment, as though one could see the rise and fall of ages reflected in them.

This indifference came from having witnessed countless cycles of prosperity and decline. She no longer cared for anything within the world.

Even if all the gods within the world were to die, she would not be moved.

She only cared for the existence of the world itself and for beings like herself.

Noah looked at her human form and was slightly surprised.

Such a transcendent aura—truly worthy of a being born from the void.

This sense of apathy toward all things within the world was essentially "emptiness."

It was a form of existence that beings within the world could never comprehend.

Because she did not care about the world, she had none of its concepts.

For instance, what were clothes? What was the purpose of wearing them? Protection? What weapon in the world could damage even a single scale on her body?

Noah casually used his divine creative power to make a red-and-white dress for her.

Her crimson-golden eyes widened in surprise. Clothes created with divine creative power? Even for her, that was a rare treasure.

She hadn't expected him to be so generous. She knew very well how precious "Creation Divine Power" was.

Even a "One True God" wouldn't use it lightly.

Only during creation would such power typically be wielded.

"Thank you, Master." After being forcefully subdued, most of the resistance in the Red Dragon God Emperor's heart faded. If she absorbed this Creation Divine Power, how much stronger could she become?

Noah casually ran his fingers through her hair—soft and unique to the touch.

He had always been fascinated by non-human girls.

"Alright, since you're one of us now, it's time you joined the operation."

Noah added the Red Dragon God Emperor to the "God Group" and passed all the necessary information to her.

At her level, she was naturally assigned the status of a "Holy God."

Even putting aside her identity as an embodiment of truth, just her raw power was firmly at the planet-destroying level.

However, her divine seat was temporarily hidden, as this wasn't yet the right time for public disclosure. Once the DXD world was conquered, adjustments would be made.

Noah's gaze flickered.

Once the DXD world was absorbed, based on their contributions, some Primary Gods would reach the threshold to become Supreme Gods.

Of course, reaching the threshold alone wasn't enough; one needed to comprehend at least ten percent of a "Truth."

But among the original Seven Archons, their talent gave them a good chance to achieve that.

It all depended on who could grasp it first.

The Red Dragon God Emperor's golden-red pupils constricted. "To devour all worlds... So that's your goal."

Gulp...

Too terrifying. Was this truly power a "One True God" possessed?

No—even the One True God didn't have the power to assimilate other truths.

At that moment, the figure reflected in her dragon eyes grew infinitely vast and terrifying, like she was gazing at some unfathomable taboo.

Her body trembled involuntarily.

If her master endlessly devoured other worlds and continuously assimilated their truths...

What kind of existence would he ultimately become?

Even her dragon mind began to reel.

A "taboo existence," an absolute taboo even across the entire dimension.

Noah couldn't help but smirk when he saw the Red Dragon God Emperor trembling from the depths of her soul.

The higher one stood, the better they understood the terror of such devouring.

If he continued swallowing without end, even the entire "Superdimension" might be unified.

"So... now for the main event."

Noah turned to look at the "World Gate."

The earlier battle had shaken the Dimensional Gap, putting the World Gate into protective mode and extending its opening duration.

In reality, for the Teyvat army, stepping into the World Gate meant arriving instantly in the other world.

There was no concept of time within the World Gate.

Buzz buzz buzz—

Phanes was the first to step out of the World Gate, with a golden divine ring spinning slowly behind her, her aura undisguised.

Following closely behind her were Asmoday, Istaroth, Esdeath, Baal, and Aether—five Supreme Gods.

Their divine pressure equally unrestrained.

Behind the Supreme Gods, one Primary God after another began to emerge.
