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

Chapter 241: Tsaritsa: Has Lord Heavenly Principle Changed His View of Me?



Mondstadt

At this moment, Mondstadt was almost unrecognizable. Though its ground layout remained similar to the past, the scale had expanded countless times, drastically transforming the terrain.

Dawn Winery Lake had become a cosmic sea—an inland sea so vast it stood out even across the entire Teyvat continent. Both Mondstadt and Liyue Harbor now spanned areas comparable to stellar sizes.

Like Liyue, Mondstadt's sky was filled with countless celestial bodies, and floating continents drifted alongside them.

Unlike Liyue's gods, Mondstadt's gods didn't favor creating pocket realms. For them, lovers of freedom, living in enclosed spaces felt too restrictive.

Instead, they created many floating islands.

Countless starships sailed leisurely between these islands and celestial bodies, giving off a laid-back, peaceful aura.

The air was scented with floral notes and a faint hint of wine.

This atmosphere stood in stark contrast to Liyue's bustling commercial vibe—

Leisurely and slow-paced, everyone in this nation seemed to savor their unhurried lives.

Mondstadt was known throughout the cosmos as the land of freedom, relaxation, wine, and poetry. Many gods from other pantheons loved vacationing here; it was a paradise for wine lovers.

Mondstadt's wine was universally acknowledged as the most delicious in the cosmos, with vast variety.

Given that Mondstadt's highest deity was a wine enthusiast, gods of wine from across the universe hoped to settle there.

Thus, the number of wine gods in Mondstadt only increased.

The most renowned wine-producing commercial communities in the cosmos were none other than Dawn Winery and the Cat's Tail Tavern.

Dawn Winery was known for its high production, while the Cat's Tail was famed for its divine-quality wine that even gods couldn't resist.

Countless wine lovers drooled over a single tiny cup from the Cat's Tail. It was said a Norse Primary God waited centuries for a cup and cried tears of joy after finally tasting it.

After the Steambird newspaper reported this, it stirred up a sensation across the cosmos.

Now, queues for a single drink reached into the ten-thousand-year mark.

Of course, one should never try to force their way into getting a drink using a Gift Game or by abducting the wine god. Otherwise, Mondstadt's highest deity would personally hunt you down and show you what true Mondstadt-style protectiveness meant.

Currently, one of Mondstadt's two official communities, the Knights of Favonius, was overwhelmed with work.

Jean Gunnhildr, now a True God and Mondstadt's leader, furrowed her brows as she examined a stack of documents.

"So many diplomatic documents… Mishandling them might stir up inter-pantheon issues."

"It may not escalate into hostility, but it will certainly cause friction."

"Even if we resolve it via Gift Games… in the long term, it could weaken inter-pantheon relationships."

Lisa, an Upper God very close to True God tier, teased lightly.

"Jean, are you trying to shoulder everything alone again?"

"Let me see what issue could trouble the voice of Mondstadt so much."

"Oh~ I see. The Norse, Olympus, Daoist, and Heaven pantheons all want to attend the Wine Festival and request to host events that showcase their pantheons via Gift Game performances."

"You're struggling to decide how to allocate venues fairly, right? Poor arrangements could lead to dissatisfaction."

Tensions between pantheons were real, and improper planning could easily spark discord.

"Given the number of pantheons involved... maybe we should ask Lord Barbatos for advice?" Lisa sighed.

Just as she finished speaking, Barbatos' voice chimed in.

"Oh? Talking about the Wine Festival, huh? Hic~ Don't worry, those wine-loving gods are just looking to score some free drinks."

"Hosting events is just their way of paying it back a little. Their respective leaders will handle the negotiations."

Venti held a wine cup as large as a washbasin, swaying drunkenly as he walked.

"Hehe, those guys… Normally I'm the one freeloading their wine, but now that they've finally caught a chance, they're all coming as a group."

"But I'm not short on wine now. Everyone can use this opportunity to greatly expand their influence."

Only Barbatos could take advantage of others—no one else could take advantage of Barbatos. Well... lately, that old man had been taking advantage of him quite a bit.

Just thinking about it made him sulk. Time to earn back some benefits from other pantheons.

The thought amused him, though he wasn't being unfair. Last time, Odin had traded Valhalla to him in exchange for experience.

That trade had directly elevated Odin to a genuine God-King. Without Barbatos's insights, Odin would still be just a Primary God—his return on investment was in the millions.

Of course, Barbatos gained hugely too. With Valhalla under Mondstadt's control, any ascendant heroes tied to Valhalla now belonged to Mondstadt.

Notably, legends with massive influence like Siegfried, whose growth potential reached Primary God tier.

Buzz!

In an instant, Venti sobered up, his expression turning serious.

"Divine Assembly!"

...

Snezhnaya

Though Snezhnaya was originally the weakest among the Seven Nations, it housed a super-community spanning the cosmos.

Among all the mega-communities, this one ranked in the top five.

This super-community was none other than the Adventurers' Guild. Spread throughout the universe, it lacked many True Gods, but boasted massive numbers of Middle and Lower Gods.

The Guild imposed no restrictions beyond its adventurer code—you could even belong to other communities simultaneously.

This made the Adventurers' Guild the largest community in terms of divine membership.

It was also the hottest community now, since the cosmos was so vast. Over 90% of its posted missions were exploration-based, and gods were highly enthusiastic.

Through this, the Snezhnaya Pantheon gathered and nurtured the vast base of low-tier gods, gradually selecting and absorbing the outstanding ones.

Newly ascended gods could also gain early resources quickly via the Guild.

Thus, Snezhnaya achieved a win-win outcome.

Moreover, its reputation across the cosmos was excellent—especially among mortals and mystics alike.

The Empress of Snezhnaya, Tsaritsa, personally reviewed documents from the pantheon, clearly pleased and gratified.

"Snezhnaya's development proceeds smoothly. Whether it's the House of the Hearth caring for abandoned children across the cosmos, or the Adventurers' Guild, both have reached new heights."

As she flipped through the documents, a trace of melancholy surfaced.

She wondered—had Lord Heavenly Principle grown even a little more approving of her now?

I wonder... Is Lord Heavenly Principle satisfied with all that I've done now? Has His opinion of me changed even just a little?

Tsaritsa constantly regretted the choices she had made in the past.

In truth, she knew Phanes had not been wrong. Without Phanes, the world might have already collapsed. But she simply could not accept Phanes' methods and thus chose to rebel against her.

Had it not been for the descent of the new Heavenly Principle, the Supreme Lord Noah, the old world might truly have perished.

Looking back now, her past actions felt utterly foolish. Worse still, she had allowed her subordinates to make many grave mistakes.

In the eyes of Lord Heavenly Principle, she was undoubtedly inferior to the other gods.

To not be trusted by someone as mighty and awe-inspiring as Lord Heavenly Principle—what shame, what sorrow.

And she could feel it—a deep, unshakable sense of alienation from the other gods.

This was the will of the Heavenly Principle. She, and all of Snezhnaya, were subtly set apart, as though they didn't quite belong in the current cosmos.

Even though she was now a legitimate God-King in this universe, that fact couldn't change her reality.

Her former colleagues from the Seven Nations had already reached the Supreme tier. It was clear Lord Heavenly Principle trusted them more.

In hopes of regaining that trust, she had tread carefully, adhered strictly to her duties, and acted entirely according to the Heavenly Principle's will.

All for the sake of beauty and goodness.

Wherever the House of the Hearth existed, no child would ever be abandoned. Wherever the Adventurers' Guild was, aid would always be available to those in need.

Just as Tsaritsa let out a sigh, she suddenly sensed that the barrier around her had vanished. She froze for a moment.

Sensing something, she quickly rose to her feet and turned around.

There, at her tea table, stood a flawless youth—pouring himself tea from her cup without the slightest concern.

"If you hadn't been muttering about me, I really wouldn't have noticed that my will had unintentionally affected you. Now that I think about it… I suppose I did hold a fixed impression of you."

The voice that rang softly in Tsaritsa's ears was calm but divine.

To her, this was no ordinary voice—it was the Voice of the Cosmos.

Though the youth appeared as ordinary as any mortal, to a God-King like Tsaritsa, he radiated the presence of an infinite great universe.

Her consciousness nearly scattered under its pressure, only to be brought back by the resonance of that cosmic voice.

As she returned to her senses, Tsaritsa found herself drenched in sweat—something impossible for a God-King. She quickly dropped to one knee and bowed her head.

"L-Lord Heavenly Principle!"

Her heart pounded. Had she disturbed Lord Heavenly Principle just by thinking of Him?

As a God-King, she herself could sense when her name was invoked within her sphere of influence.

Lord Heavenly Principle surely could as well.

Ordinary mortals would be ignored—but a god like her, of course, would draw His attention.

Just as she herself wouldn't respond to a mortal's mutterings, but would definitely notice if a god spoke her name.

"As the highest deity of the Snezhnaya Pantheon, you've done remarkably well—spreading love across the cosmos with only limited strength."

"Especially with the House of the Hearth—I must commend you for that, Tsaritsa."

Noah looked upon the kneeling Tsaritsa with genuine praise.

He truly had held a fixed impression of Tsaritsa. As a result, the Great Universe's will had unconsciously suppressed the Snezhnaya Pantheon, stunting its growth.

Tsaritsa's achievements and power had long been partially restrained. Without that suppression, while she may not have reached the level of Zhongli or Venti, she would have been close to attaining a Supreme God seat.

Because of those ingrained impressions and biases, he had subconsciously overlooked Tsaritsa's contributions to Teyvat's internal development.

Unknowingly, across the entire cosmos, not a single child had perished due to abandonment or loss of parents.

All of them had been found and cared for by the House of the Hearth, given the love they deserved. Thischapter'struesourceisMyVirtualLibraryEmpire(M|V|LEMP-YR).

In the lower layers of the Teyvat Universe, Snezhnaya's reputation even surpassed that of Liyue and Mondstadt.

Only after hearing Tsaritsa think of him did Noah suddenly recall her immense contributions…

Upon hearing his praise, Tsaritsa's heart bloomed with joy. The gloom that had long hung over her lifted in an instant.

"This is merely what I should do, Lord Heavenly Principle."

Noah continued.

"Where there is merit, there must be reward. Your contributions to Teyvat have far outweighed your past mistakes."

"In my view, merits and faults do not cancel each other out. A merit is a merit, and a fault is a fault."

"But—I forgive you. Your actions have completely changed my perception of you. You've always been a god who loves others."

Noah stood and walked over to Tsaritsa, gazing down at her. He raised his hand and gently patted her head.

"You were one of the first to follow me. Many of your earlier contributions were reduced by thirty percent. Now that you're forgiven, it's only right that this withheld portion be returned to you."

Buzz...

Tsaritsa felt the warmth of the hand on her head, her cheeks flushing. In the next moment, she sensed her power expanding rapidly.

The lingering oppression vanished. Her divine seat ascended. Her awareness, divinity, and mastery of rules soared.

The breath of Truth descended upon her. The once-distant road to Supreme Godhood was now abruptly shortened. While not quite there yet, it no longer felt unreachable.

At the same time, her ranking in the Cosmic Nexus climbed swiftly, finally placing her just behind Lumine, the First God-King—second in the universe.

"You were one of the original Seven, after all. No matter what, you shouldn't fall behind those who came after."

Noah's hand slid from her head to her cheek, brushing her soft hair and perfect, smooth skin.

In this universe, he was the absolute sovereign, with control over all things.

Whatever he wished to do was solely his choice.

Tsaritsa felt the presence and will of the Heavenly Principle. Her face reddened deeply. Though Lord Heavenly Principle harbored certain feelings toward her, for now, he merely wanted to touch her cheek.

Her heart pounded...

To be cherished by Lord Heavenly Principle—this was something she had never even dared to dream. And yet now...
