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

With the establishment of the new divine hierarchy, the Cosmic Nexus issued a revised ranking.

The ranking was still displayed in a tree diagram format.

This ranking operated under a top-down confidentiality structure.

Only gods of the same rank could view each other's true names. Lower-ranked gods could only see titles. Higher-ranked gods could view basic data about lower-ranked ones—such as affiliation, pantheon, or coalition—but deeper information like authority distribution was hidden unless they shared the same rule system.

Noah, the Heavenly Principle, naturally stood alone at the apex of the pyramid.

99.999% of gods in the universe had never truly glimpsed his form.

Those who had were among Teyvat's oldest generation of gods.

They could be considered Teyvat Universe's second wave of founding gods.

The first wave consisted of Teyvat's original gods.

There were several thousand in that batch.

But now, with the divine population nearing ten million, those thousands were but a drop in the ocean.

Of those, only a few dozen had ever interacted directly with the Heavenly Principle—and this didn't include the maidens in his court.

Upper Gods: …

...Symbols marked gods in the process of promotion, those whose power and merit had reached the threshold but were missing a final component.

Members of every pantheon were thrilled and proud to see their chief deity's standing in the cosmic order.

A pantheon's strength was tied to its highest god's rank—serving as a source of pride and prestige for its lesser gods.

When two Upper Gods met, and one hailed from a Supreme-God-led pantheon while the other from a Primary-God-led one, their auras naturally differed vastly.

...

Currently, the original seven nations of Teyvat remained the largest territories on the continent. Even the weakest among them, Snezhnaya, was still far greater than most nations.

Tsaritsa had proven herself. Despite minimal support from the other six nations, she advanced to the rank of God King—among the foremost in the list.

...

Liyue

Liyue had transformed entirely. Its former visage had long since vanished.

Although still called Liyue Harbor, the current city had grown to a size comparable to a star. From here, starships from numerous divine nations and pantheons regularly traveled to and from.

Massive starships, each spanning thousands of meters, moved in and out of Liyue Harbor in orderly fashion.

Now, Liyue Harbor bore some resemblance to the Xianzhou from the Star Rail Universe—but was tens of thousands of times larger.

The number of communities based in Liyue Harbor had surpassed ten thousand. Most mid-sized communities had constructed their own cave-heaven worlds, which now clustered around the spatial domain of Liyue Harbor.

The population of Liyue Harbor alone had exceeded 500 billion, while the entire Liyue nation had long surpassed 10 trillion.

Every nation was measured in light-years.

Do not underestimate the development of life across major timelines and universes over the past millennium—Liyue's divine nation received ascenders from various timelines and endless planes daily.

Protagonists and side characters from once-conquered worlds had mostly achieved godhood by now.

In the skies above Liyue Harbor, numerous celestial bodies orbited.

Some of these were naturally formed, others were artificially constructed by communities. All served either as living habitats or community bases.

Only powerful Upper Gods or True Gods were capable of creating such stellar structures.

The largest of these celestial bodies served as the headquarters of Liyue's greatest community and also housed the administrative hub for the entire nation. Its leader acted as the representative of the Liyue Pantheon.

This stellar body, slightly smaller than Jupiter, was crafted by Ningguang herself using the rarest cosmic materials she had gathered across the universe. It served as her office.

From anywhere within Liyue, one could gaze upward and behold this luminous Star of Wealth.

It was aptly named the Jade Star.

Ningguang was presently writing at her desk with a divine pen. Around her, little cloud-like sprites—conjured by her divine power—were organizing the paperwork sent from the many communities of Liyue Harbor.

Behind her floated a faint golden rule wheel, composed of the cosmic rules of wealth, commerce, and opulence.

Whenever she pondered, the corresponding rules would automatically manifest.

Having just advanced to True God, she had yet to fully digest the massively multiplied strength now surging through her.

Not far from her, a young divine girl overwhelmed with work looked up in admiration at the legendary Goddess of Wealth.

Ningguang paused her writing, looked over with a smile, and asked, "Yukinoshita Haruno, are you tired from all the work?"

Yukinoshita Haruno snapped back to her senses and hurriedly said, "Uh, sorry, Lord God, I got distracted. It's my first time being this close to a True God, I'm terribly sorry."

She ascended to godhood as a Middle God two hundred years ago. Originally, the ascenders from her universe were supposed to fall under the jurisdiction of the Norse Pantheon, as her universe was managed by them.

In fact, ascending to godhood didn't necessarily require leaving one's native universe for the Divine Realm. However, staying in a small universe would negatively impact future promotions to higher levels of divinity. After all, growth in a small universe is far inferior to that in the Great Universe. So, she chose to come to the Divine Realm, as did her younger sister and several friends, to support each other.

Of course, some friends chose to remain in their home universe to aid in the development of human civilization. It was a planned arrangement—some ascended to the Divine Realm to assist their homeland, while others stayed to maintain ties.

She, her sister Yukino, Yui Yuigahama, Shizuka Hiratsuka, Hina Ebina, Saki Kawasaki, and Yumiko Miura all ascended. Meanwhile, Hachiman Hikigaya, Hayato Hayama, Yoshiteru Zaimokuza, and others stayed behind to help humanity advance to an interstellar civilization.

Before their ascension, human civilization had already ventured beyond the solar system, becoming a spacefaring civilization exploring nearby stellar systems. Unfortunately, they had not discovered any other life forms.

Their journey to godhood was truly legendary—far beyond any light novel plot. They were the undisputed protagonists.

She remembered that day over a thousand years ago when Norse mythology became reality. Countless gods appeared on Earth, spreading magic, battle qi, and other powers. The existing modern society was completely overturned.

Governments around the world crumbled as the gods judged all evils—corrupt capitalists and politicians were all purged, ushering in a world of light.

Then, many meteors streaked across the sky as Visions descended.

She was among the chosen.

Once the world was bathed in light, the gods departed—but their eyes remained ever watchful. Vision holders were seen as future gods and paragons of virtue. Citizens naturally gathered around them, forming new regimes.

On their island nation alone, there were over thirty, with more than ten being her close friends. Thus, she was revered as the new national leader.

After decades of hard work, the nation transformed—no hunger, no conglomerates, no nobility, no yakuza. A truly free and equal society.

With divine power, food was no concern.

Eventually, the world united into the Human Federation, pursuing dual paths of magic and science. Progress was swift—within a hundred years, Mars and Venus became new homes. In two hundred years, humanity spread across the solar system.

By then, every household had a starship.

Three hundred years into their development, the first godhood ascender emerged, followed by more. These new gods shared the Great Universe knowledge with the Human Federation.

They learned their universe was merely a small universe with a diameter of only a billion light-years, beyond which lay a projection of the Great Universe.

They also learned the divine hierarchy of the Great Universe. Their universe might have even been created by a Primordial God.

Two hundred years ago, she and her companions also ascended.

But now, due to the sheer number of ascendants from her home joining the Norse Pantheon, they weren't given much attention.

It wasn't that they weren't taken seriously—it was just difficult to compete when establishing a community within the Norse Pantheon. After all, they were newly ascended gods and had no resources.

The higher gods of the Norse Pantheon didn't bother themselves with the lower levels.

So, they had no choice but to start from scratch, founding a small community and beginning to do business.

During their business ventures, they happened to encounter the great god of the Liyue Pantheon, the True God of Wealth, Lady Ningguang, who was visiting the Norse Pantheon for diplomatic reasons.

Lady Ningguang told them they carried the destiny of their world and were beloved by it. The Norse Pantheon gods were blind to this, but she wasn't. So she invited them to come to Liyue.

What kind of god was Ningguang? The spokesperson of Liyue, a god of commerce and wealth renowned throughout all pantheons, and the head of Liyue's greatest governmental institution.

This was akin to a commoner being chosen by a nation's top leader.

Although she was a hero goddess in her homeland… anyone who reached the Divine Realm was a hero of their own world.

Ningguang smiled. "It's natural to feel nervous when doing something so structured for the first time. You have talent—you are, after all, your homeland's beloved child."

"For now, just pick out the documents that impact the nation the most."

Because the Sovereign was about to become a Supreme God, he could perceive things that even other God Kings could not.

Thus, the Sovereign created tokens that would respond when encountering beloved children stranded abroad, instructing Ningguang to bring them back.

Not just him—any high god nearing the Supreme God realm was likely doing the same.

Yukinoshita Haruno breathed a sigh of relief. She could tell that Lady Ningguang intended to groom her into a capable official for Liyue's government.

It was even possible she might one day become a True God—not that she dared imagine it, considering she was currently only a Middle God. She had become a Middle God directly upon ascension due to being a Vision holder.

"Lady Ningguang, these are the most critical matters for Liyue among the documents I've received."

"The Yae Publishing House community of Inazuma plans to hold a grand event with the Yunhan Society and XX Bookstore communities, which may have some influence."

"Additionally, the Crux Fleet, a large community, is convening Liyue Pantheon's commercial communities to form a starship alliance to facilitate trade with other pantheons. The fleet's leader, Beidou, requests duty-free passage."

"Lastly, the God King of the Traveler Pantheon wishes to request that you open Liyue's dimensional gates to her pantheon, allowing free access in and out."

Ningguang found the first two reasonable, but her expression twitched at the third.

What was that about? Why had that God King sent the request to her? That wasn't even within her jurisdiction.

Given that God King's cheeky personality, it was clear she was trying to bypass her pantheon's upper echelon to gain entry clearance.

But seriously, who would allow an entire pantheon to freely traverse one's own nation?

"Keep the third request. The first two, I'll leave to you. I want to test your ability. If I'm satisfied, I'll grant you the title of scribe for the Yuehai Pavilion community and you'll assist me in handling Liyue's affairs."

Yukinoshita Haruno immediately straightened up. "Yes, Lady Ningguang."

At that moment, Ningguang paused, her expression turning solemn. A voice she hadn't heard in a thousand years echoed in her ear—it was the Sovereign.

A grand assembly of all gods across the universe?
