Genshin Impact: I, Heavenly Principle, Will Make Teyvat Supreme-Chapter 153: Shards of Omniscience and Omnipotence, Hu Tao Enters the Pantheon

Still, she was curious and quickly asked in the group chat.

[Furina: Speaking of which, Neuvillette, as the Hydro Dragon, have you sensed any new changes in the world?]

[Neuvillette: I have. The universe is brimming with unimaginable vitality. The water of the Teyvat main world has awakened with new life, almost as if touched by divine light. Even a few nearby subordinate worlds exhibit this trait.]

[Azhdaha: It's not just water. The land, too, has changed. And the subtle force that Morax mentioned—it feels somewhat like a world origin, though not quite. It might be something like the world's "ranking" system for life.]

[Apep: You gods might not perceive it, but Azhdaha isn't wrong. It does seem like some kind of ranking. The higher one's rank, the more of that subtle force they're granted. It's truly mysterious.]

[Venti: Rankings? I'm a bit lost. Is it like the merit leaderboard?]

[Guizhong: There's no point in guessing here. Why don't we ask the Greater Lord Rukkhadevata? Aside from the Holy God and Lord Heavenly Principle, no one understands these things better.]

[Greater Lord Rukkhadevata: Ah, I don't know everything either. As for these sudden changes, I'm just as confused.]

[Venti: Then maybe we should ask a certain Supreme God?]

[Raiden Makoto: Might as well ask Lord Heavenly Principle directly.]

...

Mondstadt.

Angel's Share.

Venti, sipping wine and already tipsy, rolled his eyes at Raiden Makoto's message.

Easy for her to say—she had access to Lord Heavenly Principle's garden and could ask directly.

Besides, unless Lord Heavenly Principle initiated contact, who could reach out first?

Not to mention the Supreme God. Among all of them, only Aether had any prior relationship with him.

Just as Venti was about to message Aether, he noticed the old man had already responded.

[Aether: Want to know what's changing in the world?]

[Zhongli: Don't tell me even you Descenders can't perceive it?]

[Aether: Of course I can. Who do you think I am? My sister and I have been to more worlds than you've eaten grains of salt.]

[Havria: ...]

[Aether: Cough cough... I just saw a major change in the Teyvat Universe. A Kabbalah has appeared, turning the small Teyvat Universe into a perfect universe. It's flawless now.]

[Greater Lord Rukkhadevata: Lord of the Abyss, are you referring to that Tree of Life from Christianity's ladder to godhood?]

The Greater Lord Rukkhadevata had seen knowledge about Christianity from subordinate worlds and was quite familiar with the Kabbalah and Ouroboros.

[Aether: Yes, the Kabbalah is indeed a ladder to godhood. It ranks all living beings within the world. The closer one is to the throne—or in your terms, the Heavenly Principle—the higher their ranking. This ranking is about one's essence, not necessarily power.]

[Aether: But the most important function of the Kabbalah is that it grants the world a concept of true omniscience and omnipotence. There are many other effects too, though I don't know them all.

[Aether: In any case, Teyvat Universe has struck gold. A perfect universe—I've never even seen one before.]

[Greater Lord Rukkhadevata: Then, does this mean the universe's potential for growth has increased?

[Aether: Increased? It's practically infinite now. As long as it has both Ouroboros and Kabbalah, there is no ceiling to the universe's growth.]

[Venti: Hiss... That sounds a bit exaggerated. Then what is that mysterious power within our godhoods?]

[Aether: Didn't I say? It's the ranking of life. You know pyramids, right?]

[Nahida: Of course! Like the tomb King Deshret built!]

[Aether: That vague essence is a gift from truth itself. The closer you are to the top of the pyramid, the more you receive. It's an unimaginable boon—essentially shards of omniscience and omnipotence.]

The moment Aether said that, even the Primary Gods in the group were stunned. Even the usually silent Archons began to speak up.

...

Wangsheng Funeral Parlor.

"Shards of omniscience and omnipotence... the ranking of life in the universe... the Kabbalah... a perfect universe... Lord Heavenly Principle really did all this quietly?"

Zhongli was deeply impressed. Only after Aether's revelation did he begin to understand the concept of divine truth.

In the Kabbalah, God was the One True God—and of course, that was Lord Heavenly Principle. The rest of them, the Archons, were at best Seraphim, the second tier within Kabbalah's hierarchy.

"If those are truly shards of omniscience and omnipotence, does that mean they can accomplish things even Archons cannot?"

At that moment, a cheerful voice called from behind.

"Hey, Zhongli! It's Hu Tao! I discovered something unbelievable!"

Hu Tao skipped happily over to Zhongli.

Zhongli paused. "What incredible thing did you discover, Director Hu?"

"Zhongli, this is really something! But I warn you, don't be too shocked."

"Director Hu, you know that I do not frighten easily."

"True, you never seem afraid of anything."

"Anyway, listen! After I returned from sending some spirits through the gate to the afterlife, my fourth Stella Fortuna suddenly lit up!"

Hu Tao gestured excitedly, her plum blossom eyes wide in astonishment.

"And guess what happened next?"

Zhongli: "..."

He already had a feeling about what she was about to say next.

...

Zhongli gently blew away the tea leaves floating on the surface of his cup and took a light sip.

Recently, many lower-realm beings—both humans and yokai—had ascended to become third-level gods, nearly surpassing fifty in number.

Even more numerous were those who had entered the divine system as Genshin.

After all, there was a time difference between the lower realms and the main world.

Assuming that each lower realm had at least a thousand Vision holders or beings with divine potential, and that for every hundred Vision holders, at least one could light their fourth Stella Fortuna and become a Genshin, then each lower realm would contain at least a dozen Genshin.

Therefore, while less than three months had passed in the main world, at least ten years had passed in the lower realms, and even thirty years in the more distant worlds.

The number of Genshin had already surpassed ten thousand and was still increasing rapidly.

Zhongli nodded while listening to the overly excited and animated Hu Tao recount her recent experiences.

At this point, most Vision holders in the main world had already lit their fourth Stella Fortuna. Even Ningguang and Keqing were on the verge of lighting their sixth, preparing for godhood.

Back when they had helped conquer the world of Inuyasha, the Liyue Qixing and Eight Trades left a powerful legacy in that world, and faith continued to flow from it endlessly.

As for Hu Tao, her merit stemmed from maintaining the cycle of life and death between Liyue and the Underworld. This was a significant contribution. Moreover, her public promotion of the Underworld had gradually changed people's perspectives on death, making them more accepting and open-minded.

So it was no surprise that she had lit her fourth Stella Fortuna.

"Zhongli, you won't believe it! I actually became a Genshin! It's unbelievable! Me, Hu Tao—a future god!"

Hu Tao clasped her hands together, her voice animated as she smacked the stone table in excitement.

"Sure, godhood sounds great, but the most amazing thing is... our Teyvat is huge!"

"There are so many subordinate worlds! And as someone from the main world, I didn't even know! I was like some clueless country bumpkin."

"And it turns out there's an enormous divine system! Gods from all sorts of worlds—countless of them! And the number of Genshin is just staggering!"

"Oh, and the messengers from the Underworld told me more gods have recently arrived—over a dozen!"

"I didn't even know that gods had different levels! From third-level all the way up to Creator God. Oh, that's basically Lord Heavenly Principle. Our very own Geo Archon is the second-highest ranked Primary God!"

"Even though Primary Gods are technically third-tier, my friends from the lower realms say that in their worlds, a Primary God is like the king of all gods in their mythology."

Zhongli listened quietly as Hu Tao rambled on. The king of all gods? He didn't recall ever being described that way.

He shook his head internally. Was a Primary God already so revered in the eyes of lower-levelgods?

"Zhongli, I'm letting you in on all these secrets. Pretty generous of me, huh?"

Hu Tao patted Zhongli on the shoulder proudly.

"You've got a Vision too, so hurry up and light your fourth Stella Fortuna! Or next time I go exorcising spirits, come with me! It counts as merit, you know."

Zhongli nodded. "Thank you, Director Hu, for sharing these secrets—and for your support."

Hu Tao waved her hand dismissively. "Oh, don't be so formal. You're our guest consultant at the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, after all."

Zhongli set down his teacup. "Then, Director Hu, how does it feel to become a Genshin?"

Zhongli could already sense the faint intertwining of Underworld rules around Hu Tao. If she ascended further, she would likely become a god of death.

Hu Tao crossed her arms. "Feelings? Hmm... not much strange, really. My elemental power has improved a lot, and I suddenly gained a bunch of knowledge and spells related to the Underworld."

Thinking of something, she clapped her hands together.

"Oh right! After becoming a Genshin, I gained the blessing of the world of the dead. Now I have the qualifications to freely travel in the Underworld. Pretty impressive, huh?"

Zhongli nodded calmly. "Indeed, very impressive."

Just as Hu Tao was basking in her own pride, she blinked rapidly and then suddenly exclaimed excitedly,

"Whoa! New gods just appeared—and they're Primary Gods! Wait, huh?! There's even a Holy God, second only to Lord Heavenly Principle!"

Zhongli paused and quickly focused his attention on the Divine Pantheon Blueprint.

Recently, many lower gods had emerged, but a Primary God—a being composed of laws themselves—was another matter entirely.

Future gods might be unpredictable, but the present ones were all personally appointed by Lord Heavenly Principle.

Within the Divine Pantheon Blueprint, eleven new Primary God thrones had appeared in the divine hierarchy.

This sudden change stirred the entire divine system into a frenzy.

While the rise of second-level and third-level gods was common knowledge within the system, Primary Gods were another story. For the Genshin and lower gods, these beings were practically untouchable.

And ever since they joined the divine system, there had never been a change among the thrones of Primary Gods.

Now, all of a sudden, eleven new Primary God positions appeared—along with a throne representing the judgement seat of the divine system: the Holy God.

Moreover, these gods hadn't risen from second-level Subordinate Gods—they had appeared out of nowhere.

[Toga: Huh? Eleven new Primary Gods just showed up? What happened in the divine realm?

[Shinobu Kocho: What are you rambling about, you big white dog? Nothing happened in the divine realm.]

[Alice: Hehe, isn't it obvious? Anyone who took part in that plan would know what happened.]

[Yae Miko: Oh my, oh my, this is serious. Looks like a rather outrageous world just joined our Teyvat Universe.]

[Wriothesley: Hiss... Indeed, a very extraordinary world must have joined. To think that one addition would bring in eleven Primary Gods and even one Holy God... I can't even imagine.]

[Ningguang: Speaking of which, was this something your nation was involved in?]

[Yae Miko: Not Inazuma.]

[Jean: Nor Mondstadt.]

[Charlotte: We in Fontaine didn't receive any such mission.]

[Keqing: Could it have been Snezhnaya?]

[Tartaglia: Did Snezhnaya even get assigned anything? Why don't I know about it?]

[Lumine: Alright, alright, stop guessing. With eleven Primary Gods and one Holy God—someone on par with Phanes—do you really think this is the kind of mission they'd hand to just one of the Seven Nations? You'd all get steamrolled together.]

At this, the group chat suddenly went quiet.

Everyone's cheeks twitched. After all, only Lumine in this group dared to refer to Phanes by name so casually.

What kind of world was this, really? Now even Lumine was curious.

"Hold on," she said. "I'll have my brother help out. Let's bring two of the new Primary Gods into the chat and ask them directly."
