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

"Your Highness, what's wrong?"

An Abyss Lector bowed respectfully, addressing the golden-haired prince, Aether.

Aether lifted his gaze to the crimson sky above. Others might not notice, not even the Seven Archons, but as someone who had descended from outside of Teyvat, he understood the significance of this world's barriers.

The so-called barriers of Teyvat were nothing more than artificial constructs. Teyvat itself had no natural shield—it was an open world accessible to anyone from the outside.

But now, he could no longer sense the outside. Not even the faintest trace of connection remained.

Even the passage he had discovered through Nibelungen, the Dragon King who returned from beyond this world, had been severed completely in an instant.

It wasn't simply sealed—it was gone.

"A Möbius ring? What is going on? This world has been surrounded by the Infinite Serpent!"

Extending his senses through the Void Realm's power, Aether's expression darkened in shock. Teyvat had suddenly transformed into a planar world?

Unlike his sister, Lumine, he hadn't lost his memories. He remembered worlds like this.

These were self-contained systems, fully isolated from the outside, like a pebble in the Tree and Sea's expanse, untouched by the Imaginary Tree's roots or the Sea of Quanta's waves.

Such worlds either self-destructed due to internal chaos or required a world-ending weapon to break the Infinite Serpent encasing them.

Aether broke into a cold sweat. "This is bad… incredibly bad. Teyvat's space has suddenly looped upon itself, turning into a sealed world. The Abyss's pathways are closed, and even Lumine and I might find it impossible to leave now."

"And…" He paused, voice trembling. "The Loom of Fate has been completely unraveled, steering toward an unknown future. All my plans… shattered."

For Teyvat to be encased by the Infinite Serpent was inconceivable, even for Phanes. No god should possess the power to accomplish this.

Closed-loop spaces were rare anomalies in the Quantum Sea. To put it simply, Teyvat's space had folded into itself like a sphere. Reaching the world's edge would now only bring one back to the starting point.

The Abyss Lector, puzzled by the prince's mutterings, spoke cautiously.

"Your Highness? Should we continue seeking control of the Void Realm system?"

Aether took a deep breath, regaining his composure. "Enjou, Teyvat has inexplicably sealed itself. Even Nibelungen's return passage is closed. Abyssal forces can no longer infiltrate this world."

Enjou froze, stunned. "What? The Abyss's power can no longer invade Teyvat?"

Aether clenched his teeth. "And with the world sealed, unless we find a way to reopen the barriers, even I can't leave."

Five hundred years ago, after encountering the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles, Aether had been summoned to Teyvat. His home, Khaenri'ah, was destroyed by the Seven Archons, and he was powerless to stop it.

For Aether, Khaenri'ah had become a part of his identity. Its destruction had been an irreplaceable loss, and though he had intended to take his sister and leave this doomed world, the Sustainer had blocked his path.

The Sustainer had wanted him and Lumine to shoulder Teyvat's destiny.

"Does she think I'm a fool?" Aether thought bitterly.

This world was on the brink of collapse. Staying here would only bring death to him and his sister, who were burdened with the mission of finding a new home for their birthplace.

Being trapped here was unthinkable.

And yet, here he was—banished to this subterranean crimson sky, where Void Realm force had once been sealed. This prison was meant to restrain him, forcing Lumine to inherit Teyvat's broken fate.

Fortunately, the crimson sky, altered by the sealed Void Realm force, had transformed into a thriving Abyssal environment. Many Abyssal beings had been born here, making it a domain unique to Teyvat.

Aether, with his constitution distinct from Teyvat's native lifeforms, easily mastered the Void Realm force. This mastery earned him reverence as the Abyss Prince among its denizens.

To control Void Realm force was to gain eligibility for the Second Throne.

The Second Throne referred to the systems of Light Realm Force and Void Realm Force.

Having already mastered Light Realm force, Aether now needed only to unlock the secrets of the Void Realm force system to claim the Second Throne.

Once he achieved that, he would lead the Abyss forces to storm Celestia and overthrow the First Throne.

From the information left by the Dragon King Nibelungen, Aether knew that Phanes, the First Throne, had been gravely wounded in the ancient war against Nibelungen and had since fallen into a deep slumber.

If he could ascend to the Second Throne, defeating Phanes and the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles would be inevitable.

Clenching his fists, Aether exhaled deeply. "We will continue searching for the key to the Void Realm system. Let the world remain sealed—it doesn't matter. Once I defeat Phanes, I'll naturally find a way out of here..."

Aether cared little about what happened to Teyvat itself. His only concern was finding a way to leave with Lumine.

"Yes, Your Highness," Enjou replied, bowing.

"Also," Aether added, "send more Abyss Lectors and their beasts to disrupt the Seven Archons. And make sure to keep an eye on my foolish little sister."

Aether's tone turned sharper. "She may be a millennia-old troublemaker, but she's still inexperienced in love. Don't let her get seduced by some local Teyvatian man."

"If there's even a hint of that, send Abyss Mages to stir up trouble. Keep her too busy fighting or traveling to fight. She won't have time for anything else."

Enjou hesitated for a moment before nodding. "Understood, Your Highness…" Internally, he muttered, So we're just glorified troublemakers now, huh? Your Highness, couldn't you have called us bodyguards instead? It would have sounded nicer.

The Abyss Prince, Aether, continued leading his followers through the shattered remnants of the Crimson Moon's ruins, determined to unearth the secret to mastering the Void Realm force system.

At the Edge of Teyvat.

This was the boundary where Teyvat's rules thinned and eventually faded entirely, giving way to the Quantum Sea's chaotic influence.

Known as the Erosion Border to outsiders and the Dark Sea to Teyvatians, it was a realm of instability.

This liminal space attracted those who rejected the Archons' rule:

• Defeated gods who had fled the Archon War.

• Witches who sought power from beyond Teyvat.

• Entities from other worlds.

While witches and foreign beings could resist the Quantum Sea's corrosive power, the same could not be said for gods.

For a god, leaving Teyvat's protective laws meant succumbing to the Quantum Sea's influence, driving them insane and warping them from beloved deities into monstrous aberrations.

BOOM—

A massive explosion erupted at the boundary, a crimson mushroom cloud rising into the sky.

"By the gods! The Quantum Erosion Waves have receded! This area has turned into a space-like void within minutes! What's going on—?"

A sharp, incredulous voice pierced through the explosive aftermath.

"Am I hallucinating, or did I just encounter some kind of ghost?!"

The eruption's source shimmered in eerie silence, the air charged with the echoes of change sweeping through Teyvat and beyond.

Alice floated amidst the newly formed void, holding her recently developed elemental nuke with a stupefied expression.

Moments ago, she had been using her custom-made elemental explosives to delay the Quantum Sea's encroachment on Teyvat's borders, pushing back the eroding waves.

But just as she set her explosives to detonate, a sudden surge of prismatic auroras swept across the Quantum Sea, pushing the waves of erosion back entirely.

In the wake of the auroras, an infinite cosmic space had unfolded, and where the erosion had been, a vast expanse of stars now glittered.

From behind Teyvat's false sky, countless celestial bodies emerged, like a dust storm made of starlight, spreading across the universe.

Among them, a massive white celestial body slowly moved toward her.

It was the moon, and yet...

"No way... What's happening to this world?"

Alice stood frozen in the void, her bomb slipping from her grasp and tumbling toward the Teyvat continent below.

She knew that Teyvat's moon wasn't a genuine celestial body but a divine construct—a star orb created by the gods.

Through her adventures and archaeological digs across Teyvat, she had uncovered ancient ruins suggesting that, in the distant past, Teyvat had three real moons. But they had all been shattered in an ancient catastrophe.

The current moon was an artificial amalgamation of their fragments, lacking the properties of a true celestial body.

Yet the moon she was seeing now exuded the unmistakable aura of a real planetary entity, one integral to the world's balance.

"No, no... This can't be right. If Teyvat now has outer space, does that mean…"

Her thoughts trailed off. If Teyvat could now host an actual space, it suggested that the world itself was evolving.

But how?

Teyvat was supposed to be a bubble world within the Quantum Sea—a construct formed within its chaotic waves.

While such bubble worlds naturally formed in the Quantum Sea, they were typically chaotic unless stabilized by a ether anchor.

Bubble worlds with ether anchors were already rare, but a bubble world that could self-evolve? She had never even heard of such a thing.

Alice had arrived in Teyvat by chance and grown attached to its people and landscapes. She had made many friends here and couldn't bear the thought of it being destroyed.

That was why she had stationed herself at the erosion boundary, fighting to slow Teyvat's decay.

Here, she not only had to fend off the Quantum Sea's encroachment but also battle the weakened, deranged gods twisted by its corruption.

Although these gods were shadows of their former power, worn and broken by the Quantum Sea's influence, their inherent might as divine beings made them formidable foes.

Even defeating a single one required her to expend countless bombs.

"No time to dwell on this. I need to investigate further."

Alice glanced into the depths of the newly formed space, her curiosity driving her forward.

...

Sumeru.

Buer, who was teaching Nahida about the knowledge within the World Tree, paused

Nahida blinked curiously at her teacher. "Greater Lord Rukkhadevata?"

Buer offered a gentle smile. "The World Tree is receiving memories from a new world. Let us pause for a moment before resuming our lesson."

The World Tree could only have a single administrator, and while Nahida was a branch of the tree itself, she could not actively access the tree's memories unless she became its sole custodian.

Buer, as the current administrator, closed her eyes, extending the tree's conceptual network to encompass the new world.

The memories of a world are vast and immeasurable, not bound by hierarchies of rules or strengths like World Forces. Memories, particularly those of a world, are equal in weight but monumental in scope.

As the flood of memories from the new world flowed into her consciousness, Buer was stunned. The length and complexity of the new world's memories far exceeded those of Teyvat's.

Under the nourishment of this influx, the World Tree grew mightier and sturdier, expanding its domain and becoming increasingly profound.

As the tree flourished, so did Buer, whose strength was intrinsically tied to it.

The tree's dreamscape—a realm existing between reality and illusion—extended a tendril into the new world, establishing a connection to the heart of its existence.

Meanwhile in the Sea of Quanta.

Amidst the infinite turbulence of the Quantum Sea, a spherical planar world emerged from an unknown cosmological framework.

Pulled by an unparalleled force, it settled into orbit alongside Teyvat.

This new planar world, one-fifth the size of Teyvat, began to revolve around it in a synchronized trajectory.

At this moment, Teyvat had gained two subordinate worlds.

With Teyvat at the center, the two worlds traced circular orbits, forming a unique gravitational and energetic field.

This field repelled all matter, energy, and rules of the Quantum Sea from within its boundaries, creating an enormous void in the Quantum Sea's chaos.

Inside this void, the three worlds moved harmoniously according to their own extraordinary laws.

Although officially considered subordinate worlds, they were essentially extensions of Teyvat itself.

It was akin to Earth and its moon—the subordinate worlds were intrinsic parts of Teyvat, yet maintained their own distinct identities.

While Teyvat ascended from a bubble world to a planar world, the Akame ga Kill world underwent dramatic transformations of its own.

The people of this world, gripped by awe, fear, or reverence, raised their eyes to the sky.

Devotion, prayer, fervor, excitement, and exultant cries—all these emotions were vividly etched into the faces of the people gazing at the sky.

A divine figure, larger than the world itself, loomed above the heavens. Its immense hand seemed to blot out the sky, its head resting lightly on its palm as it observed the earth below.

It was as if the world was merely his toy, a potted plant within his house.

The god's gaze was impartial, treating every aspect of the world equally. With the faintest movement of its finger, it touched the sky.

Instantly, the heavens were engulfed in prismatic auroras, their kaleidoscopic brilliance spreading across the horizon.

Even without a name spoken, the sight of this figure seared a singular concept into the minds of all who beheld it: Heavenly Principle.

The Heavenly Principle—the Creator, the true master of the world.

Cries erupted among the people:

"The Creator! That's the Creator!"

"The Great Creator of all things!"

"The one true God of humanity!"

...

In the Imperial Capital.

The Marechaussee Phantom had captured every last fugitive, including the corrupt architect of the Empire's decline, Honest.

As Honest knelt beneath the guillotine, his bloated face contorted in desperation. He stared at the heavens, at the Creator who could reshape the world with a mere gesture, snot streaming down his face as he struggled pathetically.

"There really is divine punishment in this world! I don't want to die! I don't want to die! Please, spare me! I was wrong—I don't want to die…"

But the guillotine showed no mercy. With a metallic swish, the blade fell, and Honest's bloated head tumbled down the steps, trailing crimson into the cheering crowd.

...

Celestia.

Noah reclined on his throne, one hand propping up his cheek while the other extended toward a glowing star chart floating before him.

This chart depicted the supreme order constructed from Teyvat and its two subordinate worlds, their trajectories intricately linked.

"So, this is the supreme order that can only be built across multiple worlds?" he mused, a glint of satisfaction in his eyes.

"What a delightful surprise. As long as this order exists, anyone wishing to destroy Teyvat must first dismantle every world within its domain. And not just that…"

A soft chime interrupted his musings:

[Ding! World integration complete. Detailed analysis available for review by the host.]
