Genshin Impact: I, Heavenly Principle, Will Make Teyvat Supreme

Ahahahahahahaha—

Ahahahahahahahahaha—

Clear laughter echoed from the top of the Imaginary Tree, reverberating through the surrounding realms of that great universe, even resonating within the Sea of Quanta and the Dimensional Realm.

But only an existence like Noah could perceive such echoes from such immense distance.

"This laughter… it's been echoing for who knows how long. And there are two distinct instances of it, overlapping from vastly separated points in time."

Noah looked toward the great universe atop the Imaginary Tree's canopy.

That was the great universe closest to Teyvat.

Of course, "closest" was only relative. It was like the difference between 99 and 100—negligible at this scale.

"This laughter… it must be Aha. That trace of the Principle of Elation, though faint, is unmistakably Elation."

For laughter to echo across all realms and reach this far, only a Principle could make it possible.

If he himself laughed with Truth imbued in the sound, it might reach across the realms as well. But it wouldn't mean much.

Even if it reached the Imaginary Tree, only beings above the single-universe level could possibly hear it—and only if they strained to do so.

He had heard two distinct voices—one from a distant past, the other just now—and they overlapped.

Noah's lips curled slightly as thoughts of the Honkai: Star Rail world emerged. He cross-referenced this with the Principles cascading from the Imaginary Tree.

He couldn't help but recall lore he had once encountered while playing the game:

[When Aha climbed to the highest branch of the Imaginary Tree, they saw the void, the stars operating like machinery, and how meaning bows before nothingness. They continued looking until they saw a baby fall to the ground and cry. They burst into laughter so clear it tore through the universe and still reverberates to this day]

From the sound and the essence of Elation, Noah grasped some of Aha's secrets.

Aha, with a power far beyond a non-Aeon, had climbed from his great universe up the Imaginary Tree. There, he witnessed the final fate of all worlds growing from the Tree.

All universes on the Imaginary Tree would eventually wither—falling like autumn leaves.

After all, these great universes were not independent; they were merely parts of a weak multiverse.

Only worlds within a true multiverse were eternal.

Aha understood the laws of cosmic operation.

If all worlds must perish, then all efforts within them are meaningless. Thus, the greatest meaning of existence is the joy of life itself.

Do not grieve. Do not fear. The ultimate purpose of life is to enjoy the present. Let joy endow dignity and meaning to life.

Rejoice, be glad—for life's purpose is simply: because I want to.

After Aha comprehended the essence of life's meaning, the Principle of Elation descended from the Imaginary Tree, and Aha was acknowledged as its sovereign—becoming the Aeon of Joy.

In this Tree and Sea Great World, any being recognized as a Lord of Principle is at least at the single-universe level, with an upper bound of strong single-universe.

To reach super single-universe, one must hold authority over the Tree and Sea.

For example, Noah—with 1% authority—had dimensional rights at the super single-universe level.

However, these super single-universe rights only applied within the Tree and Sea—they were regional and invalid outside.

Noah withdrew his gaze and turned toward his own Teyvat Universe.

It was still expanding. In his mind, he visualized its current mass.

The new Heart of Teyvat had already expended 70% of its universal energy—Teyvat had now reached standard single-universe scale.

The straight-line distance from the universe's core to its expanding boundary had reached 56.3 billion light years—meaning its diameter exceeded 100 billion light years.

This scale already surpassed the range of the observable universe.

"With 30% of the universal energy still remaining, this means the Teyvat Universe will continue to hyper-expand up to 150 billion light years before slowing down."

A surge of unimaginable accomplishment filled Noah's heart. He slowly opened his arms, golden eyes glowing with brilliance, his lips curled in an irrepressible smile.

"A true great universe—hahahahaha! My Teyvat Great Universe—hahahahaha!"

His exuberant laughter echoed from the Dimensional Realm and quickly rose up the Imaginary Tree, reverberating through the many worlds on its canopy.

"Alright, now that Teyvat has ascended to a Great Universe, there are still countless urgent matters to handle."

Saying this, Noah glanced once more at the Honkai: Star Rail Universe.

"Star Rail Universe… once I've finished managing my Teyvat Universe, I'll come for a good talk. When the time comes, you'd better open the gates and welcome your guest."

...

The canopy of the Imaginary Tree.

Worlds hung upon countless branches, yet each world remained distant from the next.

At the tip of one such branch, a great universe resided.

This great universe was immensely vast—its diameter had reached hundreds of billions of light years.

However, it had ceased expanding. It had reached the peak of its development, now in a perfected state—akin to a powerful adult at the height of their prime.

A minuscule figure hovered above the great universe, at the very tip of an Imaginary Tree branch.

This figure was so small—like a bacterium on a branch. Yet a clear, ringing voice issued from it, echoing through the surrounding realms.

Ahahahahahahahaha—

The figure's form was peculiarly indistinct, lacking a true physical body or even rules of existence—blending seamlessly with the universe itself.

It seemed more like a shadow in human form, visible only through the swirling traces of countless masks and false faces.

"Ahahahaha! So amusing! So full of joy—ahahahaha!"

"The universe no longer yields to void. The dimension shall lead the cosmos toward eternity! Ahahahaha! So entertaining! The stagnation of nothingness is about to lose all meaning—ahahahahaha!"

Its gaze shifted toward the newborn Dimensional Realm at the base of the Tree of Existence.

Finally, it settled upon the lone radiant morning star within the Dimensional Realm.

"A perfect, eternal great universe? Hahahaha! Too delightful! This joy surpasses everything Aha has ever experienced combined—Aha truly has face—ahahahaha!"

...

As the Tree and Sea Great World underwent dramatic changes, Teyvat's promotion to a great universe brought about earth-shattering transformations.

At this moment, the Teyvat Universe continued its expansion, though it had slowed significantly compared to the initial phase. The remaining omnipotent energy within the Star Grail would be gradually released over a long period, rather than all at once.

Meanwhile, the Disboard Universe had been completely integrated into the Teyvat Universe.

Now within the universe, countless galaxies were forming supermassive cosmic structures, and these superstructures in turn linked into even larger formations.

Scenes from within the great universe flooded into Noah's mind: planets, stars, black holes, nebulae, galaxies, supernovae, vast cosmic voids, physical laws, mystical laws, paradoxical laws…

Everything—all cosmic phenomena within a universe spanning over one hundred billion light-years in diameter, larger than the observable universe—coalesced in his consciousness.

Despite its immense size, this great universe currently hosted no life beyond the supermassive galaxy at its core.

Naturally, the core of the universe was none other than the original Teyvat.

At the center of the universe, a golden pillar of light pierced through its north and south poles.

This light pillar was the Polar Aurora Column of the Heart of Teyvat, the core governing all universal laws.

A colossal super galaxy slowly revolved at the universe's center.

This galaxy was so vast that it surpassed even a supercluster, capable of containing one hundred thousand Milky Ways.

In Noah's former universe, such a violation of cosmic principles would have been utterly impossible.

At the core of this galaxy was not a black hole, but a massive supercontinent.

This continent spanned an area equivalent to over a hundred Milky Ways—ten million light-years in diameter.

The supercontinent was structured in three vast layers, each separated by tens of thousands of habitable celestial bodies.

…

Let us return to the moment during the assimilation of the Disboard Universe.

As the two universes began merging, their centers started fusing first—starting with the fusion of space.

This fusion on such a massive scale was only noticed by the Middle Gods who had mastered the rules. Those below such a level were entirely unaware, as they could not perceive the specific changes.

The universe was too vast—akin to a bacterium on a tree branch. Even if the branch were broken, the bacterium would merely feel a tremor, unaware of what had truly occurred.

A golden light pillar extended from Celestia, piercing the poles of the Teyvat continent.

This pillar was not exclusive to Teyvat. It could be seen in all parallel worlds, including Earth and various dimensional planes across infinite timelines.

Yet even when seen, it was simply marveled at as a once-in-a-millennium spectacle.

At this time, beings below Middle Gods who were unfamiliar with the World Annexation Plan looked up at the light that illuminated the heavens, stretching into the cosmos, and conversed in awe.

"That must be a miracle displayed by an even higher Supreme God. It's magnificent."

"Indeed, it's absolutely breathtaking. What kind of divine being must possess such godly might?"

"Heh~ if you ask me, it's definitely a god above the level of a Primary God."

"Tch~ like you've seen one yourself. Quit bragging and get back to work, or the chief will scold us again for embarrassing our community."

Only gods of mid-tier and above were genuinely ecstatic.

The merger of the two universes and Teyvat's evolution had a direct and significant effect on them.

As beings who controlled laws, a stronger universe meant stronger rules—and stronger rules meant greater power for them.

This was the dividend of universal evolution.

A windfall only gods of mid-tier and above could truly enjoy.

At this moment, the people of Teyvat looked up in astonishment to find a second crescent moon appearing in the sky.

That crescent moon was none other than the Disboard Divine Star.

This celestial body, now a satellite of Teyvat, hung high in the sky.

As space merged, the gods of Disboard naturally returned to the continent.

Simultaneously, following the emergence of universal dividends, the gods who received them experienced an explosive surge in power.

Buzz—Buzz—Buzz—Buzz—

Beams of multicolored light shot into the sky from various nations across Teyvat.

In divine realms, across the various spacetime branches of the Pan-Human History, throughout the starry universe…

Beams of rule-based light roared forth.

"Wow! What's going on?!"

"Chief!"

"Lord God!"

"The Supreme God's aura is terrifying—it's still rising! What's happening?!"

"My god! What just happened?!"

"I remember now!"

Countless laws began to manifest in the center of the universe.

It was a feast exclusive to the gods.

Venti, who had just returned to Teyvat, felt his authority and the rules he governed soaring explosively. His turquoise eyes brimmed with excitement.

"It's here! The universal evolution dividend is here—ahhh!"

"Whoa—whoa—whoa…"

Venti felt his governed laws expanding rapidly.

At the same time, the quality of those rules was growing at an astonishing rate.

His aura, perception of the universe, understanding of its Truths—everything was increasing exponentially.

Zhongli's aura was rising even faster than Venti's. Crack!

In this explosive growth, a certain limit within himself was completely shattered.

Zhongli knew this was the boundary of his life continuously being broken.

Crack!

The boundaries of life continued to be surpassed.

He already possessed star-level strength, and now, as his life limit expanded, his power was rising step by step.

Crack! — Star System Level

Crack! — Nebula Level

Crack! — Small Galaxy Level

Crack! — Standard Galaxy Level

Crack! — Great Galaxy Level

The gods' life boundaries were continuously being shattered. Though this caused light of the rules to spread throughout the universe and spacetime, it resulted in no excess destruction.

This was a conceptual ascension in rules and had nothing to do with energy or matter, thus no pressure or destruction was produced.

In the Dimensional Gap, a crimson dragon the size of light-years slowly glided along the universe's boundary.

Its aura surged uncontrollably, disturbing dimensional attributes, birthing dreamlike worlds beneath its beating wings.

Its aura grew alongside the expanding universe beneath it.

Nebula Level…

Galaxy Level…

Multi Galaxy Level...

Cosmic Structure Level…

Weak Single Universe Level…

And it hadn't stopped—its growth merely slowed.

Celestia.

Within the Temple of Truth, the Infinite Dragon God Ophis woke from slumber.

Phanes rose from the divine throne.

An endless cosmic aura spread outward from this center to fill the entire universe.

Rumble—rumble—rumble—rumble—rumble—
