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

Before being released, Nahida's consciousness could escape and communicate with children, but as a god, she couldn't play with them.

After being freed, she devoted herself to learning. Her current knowledge reserve was almost on par with the Greater Lord Rukkhadevata before she became one of the Seven Archon. Even now, she could single-handedly establish a civilized nation.

However, deep down, she still longed to play with her kind. Unfortunately, aside from Fontaine's Hydro Archon, all other gods were much older than her. Fontaine's children wouldn't play with her either, as she was a deity.

But now, seeing the Lord Heavenly Principle and the Rulers of Celestia playing with little girls, her hidden childlike heart was awakened.

As Buer and Nahida appeared, all eyes turned to them. The little girls curiously observed the approaching young god.

They had only recently arrived in this paradise, aware that it was the dwelling place of gods. Before their arrival, only gods resided here.

Under Phanes' and the little girls' gazes, Noah placed his hands under Nahida's arms and lifted her like a doll. Observing her four-leaf-clover-like form and inhaling the pure aura of the World Tree from her, he chuckled.

"Speaking of which, since leaving Sumeru last time, I haven't hugged Nahida in an informal setting for a long time. You've gained a much wiser aura."

Feeling the presence of the Lord Heavenly Principle, Nahida's mind involuntarily recalled the moment she was rescued from the meditation chamber in Sumeru. At that moment, she no longer felt like a god, just an ordinary little girl.

"I have followed your teachings, Lord Heavenly Principle, and have been diligently studying during this time. I should now be a qualified god, right?"

Noah nodded with a smile. "Yes, though your understanding of human nature is still lacking, you are indeed a qualified god now."

Saying this, he held Nahida in his arms and gently kissed her. The pure aura of the World Tree filled his senses.

Nahida, though over five hundred years old, appeared this way simply because she was a tender branch of the World Tree.

Seeing this, Buer felt immense joy in her heart. She and Nahida were one, and since her husband—the Lord Heavenly Principle—liked Nahida, it meant he liked her too.

"Oh~"

The little girls let out adorable sounds. Though young, as cursed children, their mental growth far exceeded their apparent age. They had a vague understanding of many things.

Aihara Enju's light pink eyes sparkled. She cupped her cheeks with both hands. "They kissed! Wow!"

Tina rubbed her drowsy eyes and widened them. "Ya~"

Kayo Senju gazed intently, her expression filled with curiosity.

Istaroth sneaked a laugh. "Hehe~ Master, you'll spoil the children~ Or perhaps… Master…"

Phanes' serene aura turned slightly cold, her golden eyes looking toward Noah. As the creator of humanity, a traveler of countless worlds, and the original being who protected mankind, she symbolized the purity of children's souls and the future of humanity.

To her, corrupting children was a violation of primordial justice. Even though she couldn't stop the Heavenly Principle from doing as he pleased, she couldn't help but feel a sense of aversion.

Aihara Enju excitedly ran over, spreading her arms wide, her eyes filled with anticipation. "Lord Heavenly Principle, I want a kiss too!"

In the hearts of all the cursed children, Noah, who brought them to paradise, was their savior. Though they still had a vague understanding of the concept of the Creator and Celestia, to them, Noah was simply the best person in their lives.

Without hesitation, Noah flicked Aihara Enju's forehead.

"Ouch! That hurts!" Aihara Enju crouched down, holding her forehead, eyes teary as she displayed a classic defensive pose.

Noah placed Nahida back on the ground and said, "You can't. You're a real loli, while Nahida is a five-hundred-year-old legal loli."

Ruffling her hair, he added, "If you want to kiss me, at least wait until you're at the appropriate age."

Aihara Enju widened her eyes. "Five hundred years old? That's huge!"

Nahida crossed her arms and huffed, "I'm the youngest among the Archons."

Undeterred, Aihara Enju pressed on, "So as long as I turn fourteen, I can kiss Lord Heavenly Principle, right?"

"Idiot, it's eighteen."

"No way, it's fourteen! Tina, isn't that right?" Aihara Enju turned to the drowsy Tina for validation.

Tina yawned, her owl genes making her sleepy in bright sunlight. Nodding, she said, "Yeah, when my parents were still around, they told me fourteen was adulthood."

Noah chuckled. "I am a god. I decide when you reach adulthood. And I now declare that the age of adulthood is one hundred years."

Aihara Enju panicked. "No fair, Lord Heavenly Principle is cheating!"

Buer's face was full of a gentle smile. "I'm not here to interrupt my husband playing with the children. He called me here because of these kids, didn't he?"

Phanes' previously cold aura softened back into one of affection. Her golden eyes turned toward Buer.

Buer's gentle smile suddenly stiffened, and she quickly walked toward Noah. Deep down, she was still afraid of the former Lord Heavenly Principle.

Three thousand years ago, when she was born, Phanes' will had descended upon the domain of the World Tree. At that time, she could feel that Phanes' intent was to erase her. It was only after weighing the pros and cons that Phanes had let her go, instructing her instead to safeguard the World Tree.

Phanes must have been gravely injured back then, lacking the strength to erase her. If Phanes had been at full strength, Buer wouldn't have existed today.

Noah saw Buer moving closer to him out of fear of Phanes and chuckled. Wrapping an arm around her waist, he pulled her into an embrace.

A soft, warm presence enveloped him, as if he were holding pure tenderness itself. It felt like no matter how restless his heart was, simply hugging her could calm it.

He understood—Buer was a bit upset that he hadn't sought her out in a while.

She really had a maiden's temperament. No, it wasn't just a fleeting mood—her very personality was like that of a young girl.

As a god, even a few short months without contact had made her feel neglected.

The Greater Lord Rukkhadevata actually had a bit of a love-struck heart—albeit a rational one.

Phanes frowned upon hearing Rukkhadevata call Noah "husband."

Phanes considered herself Noah's wife, so when she heard Buer's address, it was obvious that Buer had already become the mistress before her. Phanes felt her dignity had suffered a severe blow.

In her view, Buer was merely a god born from a fragment of the Primordial Law Ring that had fallen into the World Tree after her battle with Nibelung. She was Phanes' creation, yet her status in the Teyvat Universe was higher than hers?

Phanes' golden eyes turned ice-cold in an instant. Buer, already fearful, felt Phanes' oppressive will and broke into a cold sweat, instinctively moving closer into Noah's embrace. Her gentle voice carried a slight tremor.

"Um… Phanes? Holy God?"

Phanes ignored Buer and looked at Noah. "She is also a mistress? And before me?"

Noah almost laughed out loud. Phanes really cared about this? Why bother with such formalities? Power determined status—just like Morax in the past; among the Seven Archons, who didn't acknowledge him as the strongest?

However, Phanes' personality was strictly lawful and orderly. She cared about structure and hierarchy, needing everything to be in perfect order, or else she would feel uncomfortable.

The little girls, oblivious to the situation, blinked their innocent eyes. They had been playing just now—why had the mood suddenly changed?

Noah beckoned Phanes with a finger. She obediently walked over, and as he wrapped his arm around her waist, he said with a teasing smile, "You are all my wings. If it bothers you so much, then you can be the big wing, and Buer can be the little wing."

As the God of Wisdom, Buer immediately understood Phanes' meaning and quickly forced a smile. "Yes, yes, Lady Phanes, you are the greatest."

If not for Noah's embrace, she might have been trembling in fear standing so close to Phanes.

Phanes' brows relaxed, and she nodded. "That's more like it."

Noah patted her on the hip and shrugged. "Come on, I already gave you the title of Holy God. Isn't that obvious enough?"

Buer let out a sigh of relief. Whether she was the chief mistress or not didn't matter to her, as long as Noah cared about her.

In her heart, as the embodiment of the World Tree, she already belonged to the ruler of the world.

Noah then entrusted Buer with the task of caring for the more than one million little girls. Buer quickly created Akasha Terminals for each one of them. Additionally, she used her divine power to grant life to some plant seeds, transforming them into Aranara to take care of the children's daily lives.

With the Akasha Terminals, not only could they ensure the well-being of the children, but they could also provide education. Coupled with the diligent and innocent Aranara, the children's souls would remain untainted by negative influences, preserving their pure hearts.

As long as they stayed within the garden, this place would be a fairy tale world, showcasing only the most beautiful aspects of the world.

All the gentleness, beauty, and fairy tales of the Teyvat Universe could be found here.

Every man has a dream of a fairy tale world, and Noah was no exception. Now that he was the ruler of this world, it was only natural for him to create his own fairy tale.

As for turning the entire Teyvat Universe into such a place?

That was unrealistic. Human nature was ever-changing, and doing so would only drain the world's future, accelerating its extreme tendencies.

It would be like the world of No Game No Life. The world's rules there were designed to be a fairy tale—playing games was meant to bring joy. But when games determined life, national survival, and even the ownership of one's body, then a fairy tale would turn into a dark fairy tale.

...

From then on, Buer, the Greater Lord Rukkhadevata of Sumeru, became the guardian of the garden and the caretaker of the little girls. As for Sumeru, it was fully entrusted to Nahida. After all, under Buer's guidance, Nahida had grown into a god capable of governing Sumeru on her own.

Noah also remodeled the city that Phanes had originally created, giving it a cute, fairy-tale-like appearance. Once everything was arranged, the garden echoed with the cheerful laughter of the little girls.

Phanes had previously been ordered by Noah to play Eagle Catching Chicks, but now that the Greater Lord Rukkhadevata had arrived, she quickly slipped away. The game that had been interrupted resumed.

The little girls formed a circle while the Aranara floated in the air, handing out lollipops. The children eagerly accepted them, holding them carefully and savoring the sweet taste, their eyes brimming with happiness.

Noah wiggled his fingers mischievously and grinned. "Buer, today, I'm going to catch all the little chicks."

"If you can't protect even one, I'll have to punish you."

Buer felt happy inside but pretended to be defiant, spreading her arms wide. "I won't let you succeed, my lord!"

Nahida peeked out from behind Buer, her eyes filled with delight. "Yes, yes! None of us will be caught!"

Noah's expression turned serious. "That's not up to you!"

With that, he lunged toward the Greater Lord Rukkhadevata.

"Ahh! The eagle is coming!"

"Quick, hide!"

Tina, who had chosen not to continue the game, licked her lollipop with a blissful expression. Her mind wandered back to just a day ago, when she had still been fighting against Gastrea in that cold and cruel world.

Her parents had once told her how wonderful paradise was. And now, paradise was indeed as beautiful as they had described.

Her parents had been kind people. Surely, in their next lives, they would be blessed with happiness.

Even though she was a cursed child, they had never abandoned her. They had to have been good people.

"Got you!"

The sudden sound snapped Tina out of her thoughts. The Creator had just caught Kayo Senju.

Kayo Senju was so clever—she must have let herself get caught on purpose. How sneaky…

Noah held Kayo Senju in his arms and gave her a light kiss on the cheek.

In the original story, she had sacrificed herself to buy time for the protagonist, allowing him to activate an electromagnetic cannon to kill a Stage Five Gastrea. As a result, she had been exposed to excessive amounts of Gastrea fluid and became too infected to survive.

Knowing she wouldn't live, she had asked the protagonist to end her life while she was still human.

That scene had been infuriating to watch.

Noah's gaze softened. "Is this world a happy place, Kayo?"

Kayo Senju's adorable face lit up with a joyful smile. "Yes, Lord Heavenly Principle."

Click!

Buer had somehow acquired a camera and captured the moment.

Her husband looked so gentle in that instant.

...

After spending the whole day playing with the little girls, Noah emerged from the garden, carrying the sweet scent unique to them. Holding Nahida's hand, he walked out.

"Nahida, from now on, Sumeru will be entirely your responsibility."

Nahida's eyes shone with determination. "Yes, my lord, I will not let you down."

"Next, are you going to reward Mondstadt?"

Noah flicked her forehead. "Why, do you want to visit Mondstadt?"

Nahida's large eyes sparkled with anticipation. "Can I?"
