Genshin Impact: I, Heavenly Principle, Will Make Teyvat Supreme-Chapter 116: Malikata and Havria Become the Rulers of the Underworld

Aether looked at the three gods who greeted him, his expression complicated.

"It has been a long time, you three."

Not long ago, he had been plotting to bring the Abyss surging into Celestia, to drown Teyvat beneath its tide. Yet now, he found himself standing here—not as an enemy, but as a colleague.

The other gods, those who had neither met Aether nor witnessed the Cataclysm, silently observed this Supreme God.

Even though he stood on the side of the Abyss, his power was undeniable.

Even Zhongli could feel the pressure emanating from him.

Before Zhongli or the others could speak, the three absurdly dramatic Abyssal gods behind Aether had already begun their antics.

The Abyssal God of Electro, Agnarr, spread his arms wide.

"Ah~ So this is Celestia? The divine palace of His Majesty, the Abyss Sovereign! It makes one want to prostrate in reverence!"

The Abyssal God of Pyro, Egill, was not to be outdone. He took a deep breath, his face filled with intoxicated delight.

"Wow! As expected of the air that Lord Sovereign has breathed—it's so sweet, so different from the Abyss!"

Enjou, standing beside them, was utterly dumbfounded. How... how are these two buffoons able to grovel this fast?

However, he had learned his lesson.

If you must flatter, at least do it with some subtlety. Blatant sycophancy like this would only lead to trouble.

The gods standing on the steps of the Grand Hall of the Gods collectively shuddered at the sheer absurdity of the scene.

Even Barbatos, known for his carefree nature, seemed momentarily taken aback.

Their disdain was practically palpable.

Even Buer, known for her kindness and patience, subtly pulled Nahida a little farther away.

Zhongli remained silent.

Venti's lips twitched—whatever he had been about to say was now firmly swallowed back down. Instead, he quietly turned his head and continued walking up the steps.

The other gods, who already harbored lingering animosity toward the Abyss, now wanted even less to do with them.

Even though Aether was a Supreme God, none of them had any interest in fostering a relationship.

After all, the Original Gods and the Abyssal Gods had never been able to see eye to eye.

At that moment, Aether felt his face flush with embarrassment. His fists involuntarily clenched.

These two absolute buffoons... do they not know when to keep their groveling in check?!

Humiliation in the Abyss was one thing, but now they were humiliating him in front of the entire pantheon.

Would his fellow gods assume that it was he, the Abyss Overlord, who had fostered such an undignified culture among his subordinates?

With his face dark as thunder, he radiated killing intent as he turned to the two groveling fools.

"Hey. You two. Shut up. Right now."

"And if you dare say even one more word, I swear I'll personally dismantle your bones the moment we return to the Abyss."

The two Abyssal gods immediately froze, their bodies trembling as they clung to each other like frightened mice.

They had messed up again.

Ever since His Highness had ascended to Supreme God, he had become far more irritable—quick to strike, merciless with his fists and feet.

Absolutely terrifying.

Enjou secretly smirked. Idiots.

Even if they were stronger than him in raw power, their sheer lack of intelligence meant he could keep them firmly underfoot.

At that moment, the Primary Gods eligible to participate in the Assembly of the Gods stepped into the grand yet subtly unadorned Grand Hall of the Gods.

Inside the vast temple, divine thrones materialized according to their ordained positions in the Divine Pantheon Blueprint.

At present, the number of Primary Gods of Teyvat remained few.

Among them were the twin rulers of Inazuma—Raiden Makoto and Raiden Ei.

Mondstadt's Barbatos.

Liyue's Zhongli, Guizhong, Havria, and Azhdaha.

Sumeru's Buer, Nahida, Malikata, and Apep.

Fontaine's Focalors and Neuvillette.

Snezhnaya's Tsaritsa.

The Abyss's Aether and his three ridiculous subordinates.

A total of eighteen gods.

Noah sat on his throne, one leg crossed over the other, his golden eyes calmly observing the gods as they entered the hall.

On either side of him sat Istaroth and Asmoday, with Esdeath positioned beside Asmoday.

To his right were the divine thrones of the Original Gods, while to his left were those of the Abyssal Gods—a clear representation of the duality of the world.

"Greetings, Lord Heavenly Principle."

The gods approached their designated thrones, offering Noah a respectful bow before taking their seats, their gazes solemn as they awaited his words.

Noah nodded. "Let's dispense with unnecessary talk. This assembly concerns the execution of order within the Teyvat Universe."

"The order of Teyvat itself shall remain unchanged."

"The Underworld and its cycle of reincarnation shall extend throughout the center of Teyvat and into all subordinate realms. This requires gods to assume specific divine roles."

A god was the embodiment of a fundamental rule. However, Divine Roles did not refer to these inherent rules but rather the responsibilities assigned to gods—their duties.

The gods' expressions turned serious. They had expected this assembly to distribute divine responsibilities, but they had not anticipated it would concern the Underworld.

There was no doubt—the Underworld was a crucial domain in the Teyvat Universe.

And more importantly, it was an unparalleled opportunity for achievement.

After all, the Underworld had only just been created—it was a blank slate. Whoever stepped in to establish order and fill the vacuum would reap substantial merit.

Venti immediately raised his hand, grinning ingratiatingly.

"Hehe, Lord Heavenly Principle! The old man and the others are definitely too busy, so why not entrust the Underworld to me? I have plenty of experience in maintaining order!"

Zhongli cast a calm glance at Venti.

"Barbatos, you are mistaken. Liyue is currently at peace and prosperity. Not only have the Liyue Qixing gained divine candidate status, but the adepti have also ascended to godhood."

"In contrast, Mondstadt has only you as its god. Are you truly willing to abandon your duties as the Anemo Archon?"

Venti's entire demeanor froze.

Old man, why must you be so sharp-tongued?!

You already have endless accomplishments to your name, while I have none! I just wanted a small achievement—must you fight me for even this?!

His expression turned pitifully resentful.

"Old man... did you really have to do me like this?"

Zhongli said nothing.

He had responsibilities—Liyue had too many mouths to feed. Meanwhile, Barbatos lived the carefree life of a lone god.

Noah, watching the argument unfold, propped his chin in his palm and spoke.

"The Seven Rulers of the Human Realm need not compete for the duties of the Underworld. Others should have a chance as well."

Saying this, he turned to Malikata.

"Malikata, you have experience in establishing order and guiding humanity. You shall temporarily assume the divine role of King of the Underworld and, according to my plans, establish a comprehensive administrative system for the Underworld."

A golden book appeared before Malikata. She instinctively caught it, her eyes widening slightly—then, in an instant, she was overjoyed. The love and admiration she felt for Noah practically overflowed from her gaze.

She had been directly appointed as the temporary King of the Underworld.

The King of the Underworld was the highest-ranking god of the Underworld, responsible for overseeing its entire operation and maintaining its order.

Surely, Lord Heavenly Principle must have some fondness for her to entrust her with such an important divine role.

"Yes, Lord Heavenly Principle! Malikata will fulfill her duties as King of the Underworld to the best of her ability!"

If she could establish a complete order in the Underworld, Lord Heavenly Principle would definitely take notice of her.

Maybe—just maybe—he would even praise her.

Ah~ this is simply too wonderful.

Just then, Havria noticed Lord Heavenly Principle turn his gaze toward her, and she immediately tensed up.

"Havria, you shall temporarily assume the role of God of Reincarnation and assist Malikata in managing souls that resist the cycle of rebirth."

"The Underworld is a vital nexus, and no negligence will be tolerated. Any failure to fulfill your duties will be judged according to divine law."

As he spoke, Noah's golden eyes radiated a supreme and overwhelming pressure.

Although the Laws of the Underworld were under his absolute control, the Underworld itself had already grown into a realm rivaling Teyvat. If anything went awry within it, it could have catastrophic consequences for the souls passing through reincarnation.

This was not merely a concern for Teyvat, but also for its subordinate worlds.

A disruption in the Underworld could lead to a drastic decline in newborns within certain worlds, even causing entire civilizations to enter periods of stagnation or collapse.

Moreover, all divine roles assigned within the Underworld were to be followed without exception—failure to fulfill them would constitute violations of divine law, warranting divine punishment.

Under Lord Heavenly Principle's overwhelming aura, Havria trembled as she hastily responded.

"Yes, Lord Heavenly Principle! I will fulfill my duties with absolute diligence!"

She knew well that Lord Heavenly Principle, while often appearing relaxed, tolerated no room for error when it came to matters of true importance.

His judgment was always absolute—rewarding merit and punishing failure without bias.

Noah continued.

"All gods must assist Malikata and Havria in carrying out their divine roles."

The gathered gods, not daring to breathe too loudly, responded in unison.

"Understood!"

At this, Noah's gaze shifted to Aether, the Abyss Overlord.

"Those who disrupt the cycle of reincarnation shall be cast into the Abyss for eternity, never to be reborn. This will be your duty."

Aether nodded. "No problem."

Though internally, he couldn't help but complain—

Of course. The Abyss is already the trash heap of the Teyvat Universe. Everything negative eventually ends up there. If something isn't born of the Abyss, simply existing here is punishment enough.

As Noah's oppressive aura gradually faded, he rested his chin on his palm and smiled.

"Now then, let's move on to something more relaxed—the construction of the Teyvat Divine Realm."
