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

Aether felt as though his head had been struck by a hammer, leaving him utterly disoriented.

What's going on? His sister has a man? And it's the ridiculously powerful Fifth Descender?

When did this happen? Why didn't I know anything about it?

Aether's entire world felt like it was crumbling. No, his situation was already terrible—this was just the icing on the cake, pushing him closer to a mental breakdown.

What about Lumine? What's her situation now? Could it be… has she already been…

Noah watched as the "brother-in-law" teetered on the edge of collapse, a mischievous sense of satisfaction welling up within him.

"Relax," Noah said, his voice tinged with amusement. "I've only met Lumine once. I treated her to a meal, and, for now, I haven't taken things any further."

Hearing this, Aether practically collapsed from relief, trembling as he wiped his forehead. "Just met once…" Then, as if struck by lightning, his eyes widened in horror.

What the hell?! Mind reading?!

Aether was completely shaken. He hadn't even said anything out loud!

I'm not that weak, alright? At least I'm stronger than the Seven Archons. How is he reading my thoughts?

But after considering Noah's absurdly overwhelming power, he reluctantly accepted the situation.

Fine. Facing someone like this, panicking is pointless.

Gradually, Aether calmed the chaos in his mind.

But just as he regained composure, he was thrown off balance again.

Noah patted his shoulder and spoke with a tone that carried both amusement and earnestness.

"Your sister is truly a beauty."

"Although I've only just met Lumine, and we're not quite there yet, her personality is so in sync with mine. Add to that her incredible potential—it'd be a sin to let her slip away. As the saying goes, 'An elder brother is like a father.' Surely you understand, brother-in-law."

Aether: "…"

On the surface, he maintained his composure, but internally, a torrent of Earth-style curse words and complaints erupted.

Personality in sync?

He knew all too well how insufferable his sister could be. She wasn't just difficult—she was downright devious, a world-class troublemaker. The older she got, the more blatant her antics became. What used to be sneaky was now shamelessly bold.

And understand? Understand you, my ass!

You're not even pretending to ask for my opinion.

Having traveled through countless worlds, Aether understood better than anyone that the fundamental rule of existence was survival of the fittest.

The will of the strong was absolute to the weak.

On the surface, Noah seemed cordial and polite, but there wasn't a single sentence that left room for negotiation.

Aether's current predicament was out of his control. Panicking wouldn't help, and Noah could clearly see every thought crossing his mind. Whatever happened next was entirely up to Noah's whims.

Aether took a deep breath and asked, "Alright. Since you seem to know me so well, what exactly do you want from me?"

Noah smiled, clapping his hands lightly. "Brother-in-law, you're truly a clever man. I enjoy dealing with clever people."

After all, both Lumine and Aether had managed to traverse countless worlds. They weren't fools—they were remarkably intelligent. Otherwise, they wouldn't have made it to Teyvat, let alone become figures like the Abyss Prince or challenge someone like Phanes.

"I know you became the Abyss Prince because you wanted to leave Teyvat. After all, the world was collapsing, and staying here would've meant dying along with it."

Aether nodded. "That's true." You can read minds, so you've probably already gone through my memories, haven't you?

Noah continued, "Phanes is dead. I now control Teyvat, and the world has been transformed into a self-contained planar world. However, I'm short on capable allies. brother-in-law, why don't you and Lumine stay and help me build a happy, harmonious Teyvat family?"

Aether was speechless. You're just trying to make my sister and me work for you, aren't you? What's this talk about a harmonious Teyvat family? You're even more shameless than my sister.

Noah didn't care about Aether's internal grumblings. "Of course, I wouldn't let you work for nothing. How about I grant you the position of a Supreme God?"

Aether was confused. Supreme God? Does Teyvat even have such a thing? Isn't the Eternal Throne already the equivalent of this world's Supreme God?

Is he just selling me a dream?

Without further ado, Noah transferred the details of the World Assimilation Plan and his ability to integrate foreign worlds into Teyvat through a memory stream directly into Aether's mind.

Aether froze, his thoughts momentarily paralyzed. As the information began to sink in, his emotions shifted—confusion, shock, awe, and finally, reverence.

"Gulp…"

When he looked at Noah again, it was with an expression of respect and fear.

The ability to drag extraneous dimensions from beyond the Imaginary Tree and the Sea of Quanta to fuse them into Teyvat, thereby strengthening this world…

What kind of terrifying power is this?

Despite all his travels across countless worlds, Aether had never heard of such a thing.

This is the apex of existence among the Tree and the Sea…

Aether swallowed nervously, his thoughts spiraling. Should I even be allowed to know such secrets and powers?

If I so much as think of fleeing, wouldn't I be caught no matter where I ran within the Tree and the Sea?

No… If he can drag in worlds from extraneous dimensions, even escaping beyond the Tree and the Sea might be useless.

Realizing this, Aether quickly raised the white flag in his mind.

I surrender… I surrender… The power gap is too vast; resistance is futile.

Having fully accepted the situation, Aether resigned himself to his fate.

Noah, seeing that Aether had reached full comprehension, nodded in satisfaction. Aether, being a smart man, wouldn't foolishly try anything reckless.

"Brother-in-law, you can rest assured—I'll take good care of our sister. Besides, there's a spot for her as a Supreme God in the future."

He patted Aether on the shoulder.

In Noah's grand blueprint, beneath him, the Creator, there would be Supreme Gods, Primary Gods, and then Subordinate Gods.

Who qualifies as a Supreme God? Well, isn't that for me to decide?

Aether mentally grumbled, Even if you forced things with Lumine, do you think I could stop you?

But as he thought more deeply, the concept of Teyvat consuming external dimensions to become a multiverse far larger than any in the Imaginary Tree began to intrigue him.

If enough worlds were devoured, Teyvat could potentially become a third pillar of existence, separate from the Imaginary Tree and the Sea of Quanta.

Aether sighed. Given the circumstances, maybe this isn't so bad.

"Fine, while my words may carry no weight with you, I still ask—please don't force things with my sister."

"In truth, she's quite naive and easy to charm if you approach her the right way."

Noah smiled warmly. "Brother-in-law, you overthink things. Why would I resort to force with Lumine? That would be dull. Besides, I'll count on you to lend a hand when the time comes."

Aether breathed a small sigh of relief. No matter how shameless Noah might seem, a promise from someone that powerful was unlikely to be broken. Since escaping his control was impossible, it was better to ensure Lumine was wooed properly.

"Don't worry, Lord Noah. My sister is very easy to win over. Let me tell you about her quirks…"

Lumine, don't blame your brother for this. There's nothing I can do. It's better for you to be charmed than coerced, isn't it?

Meanwhile, over in Liyue…

As Lumine tilled the soil, she suddenly sneezed.

"Achoo! Weird… Why do I feel like someone's scheming against me?"

Paimon asked naively, "What's wrong, Lumine? Did you catch a cold while fishing in the river?"

Lumine shook her head, confused. "It's just fishing. How could that make me catch a cold? That's why it's so strange."

Her expression turned serious. "I'm sure someone is badmouthing me behind my back—and not just ordinary badmouthing, but something really nasty."

Paimon scratched her head. "Someone badmouthing you? Is there anyone like that? Oh wait, it must be the Fatui! You did just steal their food supplies and beat them up. Of course, they'd curse you out."

Lumine placed her hands on her hips, justifying herself. "Hmph, there isn't a single decent person among the Fatui. I was just confiscating their resources to stop their evil deeds. This way, they'll give up more quickly."

Paimon puffed out her cheeks in exasperation. "But there wasn't anything in their supplies we needed… This trial that woman gave us is way too hard! She insists on making us find ingredients for Bountiful Year stew. There are over a hundred ingredients, and we're still missing more than thirty!"

"When are we ever going to finish this? Lumine, I'm exhausted!"

Lumine shot her a sly glance. "If I remember correctly, I'm the one doing all the work collecting ingredients, while you're just flying around doing nothing."

Paimon gasped in shock. "I haven't helped at all?" Then, suddenly recalling she had indeed done nothing, she hurriedly said, "Even flying around makes my phantom limbs tired!"

Lumine stared at her wordlessly, and Paimon, embarrassed, scratched her head before flying closer and nudging her. "Lumine… don't be mad. I was wrong, okay?"

Lumine, still smirking, looked at Paimon. If only Paimon could actually carry things, she would definitely make her into a flying transport assistant.

"Stop wasting time. We're almost through with the final trial and about to meet the Geo Archon."

Paimon quickly changed the subject, angrily declaring, "Exactly! Once we meet the Geo Archon, I'm going to teach him a lesson on your behalf for putting us through all this!"

Lumine's face lit up mischievously. "Great idea! When the time comes, Paimon, you should give the Geo Archon a good slap across the face. I'll be cheering you on!"

Paimon froze midair, forcing a sheepish smile. "I-I was just joking, Lumine…"

Lumine grinned slyly. "Oh, I don't care. You said it, and there's no taking it back, Paimon~."

Tears welled up in Paimon's eyes. "Waaah, Lumine, you're still mad at me, aren't you?"

Lumine, satisfied with her teasing, continued her search for ingredients with her head held high, leaving Paimon flustered in her wake.

In the Abyss Moon Sky.

After settling things with Aether, Noah began organizing the Abyss Moon Sky.

He ordered an endless tide of black beasts to gather the scattered fragments of the Crimson Moon into one place.

The scene was breathtakingly grand.

Aether watched calmly, understanding that Noah was reconstructing the celestial body of the Crimson Moon.

Even though Aether possessed power beyond the Seven Archons and had even clashed with the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles 500 years ago, he couldn't accomplish such a feat.

Such overwhelming power could only belong to the Eternal Throne, a being with complete authority over an entire world.

Nearby, Abyss Lector Enjou trembled with excitement. "The power of the Sovereign is truly terrifying."

Violet Lightning Agnarr knelt and worshiped. "Praise the mighty Abyss Sovereign!"

Not to be outdone, Fathomless Flames Egill prostrated himself in reverence.

Enjou, watching his two senior companions outdo each other in flattery, felt he couldn't lag behind and quickly joined them in bowing deeply.

Aether's face twitched as he observed the three sycophants. How did I never realize these guys were like this before? Was it because their flattery was directed at me back then, so I didn't notice?

Noah used the Supreme Order to fully restore the Abyss Moon to its original form.

Although the Abyss Moon had been shattered, it had not lost its function as a celestial body. Once restored, it resumed its natural orbit.

According to this trajectory, the Abyss Moon would pass over Teyvat once a year, shining down for one night.

Under the influence of celestial laws, souls trapped in the layers between ley lines and void space, which had not yet dissipated, would be able to walk on Teyvat under the Abyss Moon's protection, albeit for only one night.

Noah found this intriguing. "Isn't this just like the tradition of Ghost Festival or the Halloween?"

It seemed that Hu Tao's business at the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor was about to thrive.

After restoring the Crimson Moon, Noah gathered all the floating islands within the Abyss Moon's space, consolidating them into a landmass comparable in size to one of Teyvat's nations.

The Abyss Moon Goddess's temple, long abandoned as the goddess herself had perished beyond revival, was restored by Noah and repurposed as his palace for governing the Abyss Moon Sky.

Seated casually on the throne, with the black-and-purple Abyss Law Ring spinning behind him, Noah unleashed the full power of the Void Realm Force System.

Corruption, decay, darkness, misfortune, jealousy, wrath, hatred, arrogance—all negative forces were unlocked.

Once released, any Abyssal entity capable of embodying one of these rules could ascend to divinity.

Unlike the gods created by Primordial Fragments, Abyssal entities did not require such fragments to achieve godhood.

Thus, while Abyssal beings were fundamentally half a level beneath true gods, they now had a clear path to ascend.

The moment the Void Realm System was opened, the Void Realm Force within Aether surged uncontrollably.

Dark rocks streaked with violet energy encased him, but after a brief moment of panic, he regained composure.

Feeling the benign growth of power within his body and the breaking of barriers that had constrained him for so long, Aether realized that the gates to godhood within the Abyss had been opened.

Previously, due to the Abyss Throne's seal, no one could attain godhood through abyssal power.

With his strength already surpassing that of the Seven Archons but falling short of the Four Shades, Aether's newfound access to the system propelled him rapidly to his rightful place within the Abyss hierarchy.

Although still slightly weaker than Asmoday, his power reached approximately 60% of hers, matching the fully matured Esdeath.

The other Abyss Lectors—Enjou, Agnarr, and Egill—were also surrounded by boundless abyssal energy, their auras surging until they reached the level of lower-tier gods before stabilizing.

Enjou was ecstatic. "Oh, oh, oh! I've become a god! I bow in eternal gratitude to the Supreme Sovereign!"

"Long live the Sovereign!"

"Long live the Sovereign!"

The three newly ascended gods immediately prostrated themselves before Noah.

Noah observed the Abyss and its limited potential. Though the Abyss boasted countless creatures, its high-end combat power was pitifully sparse: aside from the Abyss Prince, there were only three entities barely reaching the lowest level of godhood.

His interest in the Abyss waned.

Perhaps it's best to hand this mess over to someone else, he mused.

"All right, from now on, anyone who masters the Void Realm Force will be recognized as an Abyssal Lord. The Abyss is yours to manage, brother-in-law."

Aether patted his chest confidently. "Don't worry, Lord Noah. I know the Abyss inside and out."

He glanced at the three bumbling Abyss Lectors with a faint hint of menace.

The three Abyss Lectors immediately froze, their terror palpable. Oh crap!

Noah smiled faintly. "Take your time disciplining your subordinates, brother-in-law. I'm off to find our little sister and have some fun."

His thoughts turned to his next objectives. With the Abyss settled, it was time to deal with the Cryo Archon, Tsaritsa, and begin preparing to conquer the Inuyasha world.

Aether nodded, his expression sunny. "Leave it to me. I'll make sure to whip these subordinates into shape."
