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

Chapter 96: Divine Rankings – Let the Competition Begin, Worker Gods!



The divine blueprint allowed every god within the Teyvat Pantheon, or any being possessing divine power, to clearly understand their position within the hierarchy.

They also became acutely aware of their ranking among gods of the same tier.

Although all gods within a given ring shared the same general status, there was still an internal ranking system.

The rankings were determined by their importance and contributions to the Teyvat Pantheon.

The higher a god ranked, the greater their significance and achievements within the divine order.

As soon as the blueprint was formed, relevant information flooded into the minds of every being connected to it.

...

Teyvat – Sumeru

Inside the Realm of the Irminsul, the Greater Lord Rukkhadevata was meticulously collecting the world's knowledge and imparting it to Nahida.

Upon sensing the sudden appearance of the Divine Pantheon Blueprint, she abruptly opened her eyes, filled with astonishment.

However, she quickly regained her composure—after all, this was the work of her husband, the Heavenly Principle.

If it was related to him, then nothing was impossible.

Looking at her ranking within the blueprint, she gently touched her cheek.

"I am ranked first among the Primary Gods?"

She was not surprised.

As the incarnation of the World Tree, entrusted with overseeing the world's knowledge, her contribution and importance far exceeded the other Six Archons of the Seven.

However, upon noticing the first ring occupied by the four Supreme Gods, a small pout formed on her lips.

"I also want to be closer to my dear Lord..."

"When he returns, I must invite him to Sumeru. By then..."

Nahida, sitting nearby, looked up with her clover-shaped eyes sparkling with both wisdom and innocence.

"Greater Lord Rukkhadevata, I ranked eighth! Only below Rex Lapis, Barbatos, the Hydro Archon, and the two gods of Inazuma."

Rukkhadevata smiled gently.

"You are a branch of the World Tree, Nahida. In the future, you will possess the same authority as I do."

Nahida's expression turned resolute.

"Mm! I will definitely reach second place someday!"

Rukkhadevata nodded, an affectionate glint in her eyes.

"Of course you will. After all, Lord Noah favors you."

...

Teyvat – Mondstadt

At Windrise, Venti lay sprawled on the ground in a drunken stupor. Suddenly, he sprang up as if struck by lightning, eyes wide with shock.

"What is this?! A divine blueprint?! The Heavenly Principle actually created a whole system to manage the pantheon!"

Recovering from his initial shock, Venti's expression turned into one of dismay.

"With this system in place, doesn't that mean I can no longer slack off openly?!"

Even if he didn't care about his ranking, if other gods surpassed him, it would be too embarrassing among his peers.

Before he could process it further, a powerful gust of wind nearly knocked him off his feet.

A hundred-meter-long dragon, with wings beating furiously, roared at him in frustration.

"Barbatos! Do something useful for once!"

Venti gawked at the enraged dragon before him.

"Huh? What's going on?"

Dvalin growled.

"Barbatos, you are the third oldest among the Archons, yet you're ranked seventh? How do you have the nerve?!"

Venti scratched his head awkwardly.

"It's not my fault! Inazuma, Fontaine, and Liyue all had world-merging missions, and each one is more impressive than the last. Their contributions to Teyvat are obviously greater!"

"Not to mention Sumeru's Greater Lord Rukkhadevata has been maintaining the World Tree since the beginning. Her being ranked first is only natural!"

"I haven't even received a mission yet, ranking eighth is totally reasonable!"

"Just wait until I get assigned a task; I'll climb into the top five for sure!"

Dvalin snorted in disbelief, flapping his wings.

"Hmph! We'll see about that, Barbatos. If you stay at the bottom, I'll never let you live it down!"

...

Inazuma

After their initial surprise, Raiden Ei and Raiden Makoto quickly familiarized themselves with the Divine Pantheon Blueprint.

Raiden Ei calmly remarked, "I'm ranked fifth, Sister."

Makoto chuckled. "My little sister is amazing. I'm only ranked ninth—after all, I'm merely basking in your glory."

Yae Miko, full of pride, declared, "Ei, Makoto, I'm ranked first, you know~! Even if it's only in the third ring."

Kitsune Saiguu rolled her eyes and took a drag from her pipe. "You're the only Subordinate God for now, Miko."

Unbothered, Yae Miko grinned. "Taking the lead is key—soon enough, I'll surely be the top-ranked Subordinate God."

Suddenly, something dawned on her, and she frantically searched the blueprint for Lord Noah's position.

"Wait a minute… The Ruler of Time is listed as Istaroth… Where is Lord Noah?"

Makoto, amused by Miko's bewilderment, chuckled and said, "Miko, take a look at the very center of the blueprint."

Cautiously, Miko turned her gaze upward. Until now, she had only dared to observe the Primary Gods and Supreme Gods, but she had never dared to glance at the absolute center.

After all, that position belonged to the Almighty Heavenly Principle, the First Throne.

However, as soon as she felt the familiar aura within that supreme presence, her eyes widened in shock.

Her delicate fingers covered her lips, and with a trembling voice, she stammered, "L-L-Lord Noah… is… is the… T-T-The Heavenly Principle?!"

Her gaze turned to Ei and Makoto with an accusatory glare.

"Ei, Makoto—you two knew all along and didn't tell me?"

Makoto sighed helplessly. "If Lord Noah didn't tell you, how could we dare?"

Images of Lord Noah teasing her in the past flooded Miko's mind, making her tail stand on end and her face flush bright red.

So it was the Heavenly Principle all along…

She had been playfully teased by none other than the Supreme Heavenly Principle.

She was the beloved fox of Lord Heavenly Principle!

...

Fontaine

After a brief moment of astonishment, Furina, Focalors, and Neuvillette regained their composure.

Furina anxiously scanned the blueprint for her name but couldn't find it. Panicking, she asked, "Focalors, why isn't my name on here?!"

Focalors smirked at her panicking persona. "Silly Furina, I am you, and you are me."

Realizing her blunder, Furina's face flushed with embarrassment. She quickly changed the subject.

"Look! I'm ranked fourth, and Neuvillette is sixth! Fontaine ranks third in contributions among the Seven Nations!"

Neuvillette nodded with his usual composure. "It's only natural. The world we conquered transformed Teyvat into a planar world, after all."

"The reason we're not ranked second is because Rex Lapis' world conquest holds far greater significance, even if it's not yet completed. His contributions are already immense."

...

Snezhnaya, Natlan, Floating Abode, and traveling gods like Havria all studied their rankings on the blueprint.

Tsaritsa, upon seeing her position among the Primary Gods, couldn't help but feel disheartened.

"Dead last…"

Not only was she ranked at the bottom of the Seven, but she was also last among all Primary Gods.

"I need to complete a mission from Lord Heavenly Principle. I can't stay at the bottom of the Primary Gods list forever… Even if I remain last among the Seven, at least I need to climb up here!"

...

It wasn't just the gods reviewing the Divine Blueprint—

Anyone who possessed divine authority or held divine-like power was also examining it, their reactions ranging from shock to utter disbelief.

For the gods, the appearance of the blueprint was merely surprising,

But for those who were not true gods, yet wielded divine authority, it was an earth-shattering revelation.

Barbeloth was in the middle of divining the fate of her disciple, Mona, when she suddenly spewed the mouthful of coffee she had just taken—right onto Mona's face.

"What the heck is this?!"

Barbeloth was utterly stunned as she felt something new appear deep within her soul. After absorbing the sudden influx of knowledge in her mind, she finally snapped back to reality.

"This... this... the Divine Pantheon Blueprint?!"

She had actually been incorporated into the Teyvat Pantheon by the Heavenly Principle! This was beyond belief.

So this blueprint was the gods' greatest secret, a hidden truth that could only be revealed to those who were officially recognized as part of the pantheon?

Barbeloth felt her heart pounding in her throat, her mind racing as she delved deeper into the mysteries of the Divine Pantheon Blueprint—Creator, Supreme Gods, Primary Gods, Subordinate Gods, and Noragami.

She found her own name listed among the Noragami.

Noragami were not yet true deities but merely gods-in-training. Any being with the potential to ascend and who had touched even a fragment of divinity—whether through faith, authority, divine power, or divine abilities—was considered a reserve for full-fledged godhood.

The disparity among Noragami was enormous, ranging from weak creatures that had just begun gathering human faith to individuals possessing combat power rivaling actual gods.

But one thing was certain—by contributing enough to the pantheon, they could forge a path towards true divinity.

Barbeloth' mind flashed back to the words the Heavenly Principle had once spoken to her:

"If you perform well, granting you the seat of the God of Fate wouldn't be impossible..."

In an instant, Barbeloth was overwhelmed with ecstasy, her face turning red with excitement.

Mona wiped the coffee from her face, full of resentment. "Master, what on earth are you doing?"

Barbeloth came to her senses, patting Mona's shoulder with an earnest expression.

"Mona, my dear, from now on, we must work hard together. Your master here… is going to take you to godhood!"

Mona eyed her master suspiciously and inwardly sighed. Master's bouts of senility are getting worse. Instead of ascending to godhood, she'll probably need me to take care of her in a few decades.

...

At a bookstore in Sumeru, the Dream Witch, Nicole Reeyn, suddenly fell off her chair, clutching the bump forming on the back of her head.

"The Divine Pantheon Blueprint?!"

At first, she was bewildered, then shocked, followed by panic, and ultimately overwhelmed with sheer joy.

She was bewildered by the sudden appearance of the pantheon blueprint, shocked by the vast knowledge flooding her mind, terrified at the realization that she had been silently drawn into the grasp of the Heavenly Principle—and overjoyed that she hadn't been discarded as an irrelevant being.

Instead, she had been officially recognized as a Noragami, a god-in-waiting.

"Hehehe... I'm going to become a goddess—finally!"

Nicole Reeyn trembled with excitement. She had been a witch for nearly a thousand years, and despite her long lifespan, she was still merely human.

Now, a tangible path to ascension lay before her.

Filled with fervor, she threw herself to the ground, bowing fervently towards Celestia.

"Lord Heavenly Principle, from today onwards, my body and soul belong to you! Whatever you command, I shall obey without question!"

A young Akademiya student buying books glanced at Nicole Reeyn, puzzled.

"Store owner, are you rolling around on the floor again after reading too many novels?"

...

Floating Alchemy Island in the Void Layer

Rhinedottir, having sensed the Divine Pantheon Blueprint, paused her work for a brief second, then simply continued her alchemy experiments.

Everything about her already belonged to the Heavenly Principle.

At this point, nothing that the Heavenly Principle did to her would be surprising.

...

Sumeru Desert

As the forbidden knowledge and abyssal energy transformed into harmless knowledge, the slumbering Dendro Dragon Sovereign Apep slowly opened her eyes.

Feeling the presence of the Divine Pantheon Blueprint within her consciousness and realizing that her authority and power had already been integrated into this grand system, her initial emotions of hatred and rage gradually faded into helpless acceptance.

"Has Phanes truly perished..."

Phanes had fallen, and the Fifth Descender had arrived, wielding power far surpassing Phanes. This new entity had not only remedied the world's sicknesses caused by the Throne Wars, but also propelled the world to greater heights.

Furthermore, numerous other worlds had been assimilated into the fabric of Teyvat, forming part of its ever-expanding order.

Even she, the Dendro Dragon Sovereign, was no exception.

Her grudge had always been against the usurper Phanes, who had stolen the homeland of elemental life forms.

However, the current Heavenly Principle had not only preserved the world but had also cleaned up the aftermath.

"...To be incorporated into this new order... so be it."

With a sigh of resignation, Apep closed her eyes once more, silently tending to her wounds.

...

Demon Slayer World

The Butterfly Sisters, now renowned as the most famous healing deities in the entire world, found themselves constantly besieged by countless patients seeking treatment.

To avoid staying in one place for too long, they embarked on a journey with Kanao, traveling across the world and healing the poor and kind-hearted along the way.

Although time flowed differently between Teyvat and this world, seven years had already passed since demons disappeared from existence.

Under the fervent faith of the people, their Constellations had unknowingly reached the fifth star, leaving only one more before they could ascend, gather divine power, and transform their Visions into true divine authorities.

Their appearances had also become ageless and immortal ever since the fourth star had been lit.

Shinobu, feeling the surge of change within her body, was left in awe.

"The Divine Pantheon Blueprint?!"

Kanae, recovering from her own astonishment, spoke gently.

"It seems... we are already on the path to becoming true gods. We've officially become Noragami, divine reserves."

As people from the Japan, they naturally understood what being a Noragami meant—land deities, shrine spirits, guardian spirits, and stray gods were all categorized as such.

However, in this new order, Noragami were merely candidates for true divinity.

"It seems that the tales passed down by our ancestors were not entirely accurate..."

Kanao's eyes sparkled in excitement as she gazed at the Pantheon Blueprint.

"Wow, sister, so many gods! And there's even the Creator God, Ame-no-Minakanushi! No, wait, it's... the Heavenly Principle? Oh, that makes sense—the Creator God is the One, the ultimate principle, after all!"

Kanae smiled softly, "Shinobu, you mustn't address the Creator God so directly. The entire world, including gods themselves, was created by the Creator."

Shinobu pouted. "Sister, once we ascend as gods with our Visions, we'll become Subordinate Gods, right?"

"Yes," Kanae nodded, "just one more Constellation to complete before we can ascend to Takamagahara."

"Do you think we'll meet those great gods?"

"Of course, once we ascend, we will serve under Narukami Ogosho-sama."

"And... what about Ame-no-Minakanushi-sama?"

"Shinobu! You must not utter the Creator God's name so casually!"

"Ouch! That hurts!"

...

Meanwhile, in the Inuyasha World...

Both the existing Noragami and the newly ascended immortals, Dog Demon General Toga and Princess Inukimi, were left utterly shaken by the Divine Pantheon Blueprint's sudden integration within them.

Especially the Noragami who had remained hidden in the mortal realm.

In a lake located in the eastern human villages, a young water goddess, holding the sacred artifact [Spear of the Wing], surfaced from the waters, staring at the sky in disbelief.

"The Creator God... Ame-no-Minakanushi-sama (Lord of the August Center of Heaven)!"
