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

The Goddess of Flowers, Nabu Malikata, was not a pure Archon born from a primordial fragment.

During the War of Thrones, she stumbled upon a shattered piece of Phanes' Primordial Ring of Law. This fragment carried the complete Law of Flowers and a small portion of water elemental authority from the Light Realm Force of the Dragon King Nibelung.

Malikata's original identity was that of the Seelie, a race integral to humanity's growth but not as prominent as the Archons.

This story traces back to the era even more ancient than the Age of the Great War—the First Era.

The Creation of the Seelie

When Phanes descended to Teyvat to create humanity, people were naive and unlearned. Thus, Phanes created the Seelie, a race of stunningly beautiful and intelligent women, to teach humanity the skills and knowledge necessary for survival.

These spirits helped humans form tribes, build city-states, and establish nations. They were humanity's mentors and guides.

Endowed with divine beauty and wisdom, the Seelie naturally attracted the admiration of human heroes and sages, many of whom sought to court them.

The Seelie, being inherently emotional and empathetic, could not resist the passionate advances of these human heroes. This led to unions between the two.

At that time, humanity was just beginning to establish roots in the world. Phanes, needing humanity to thrive and spread quickly, forbade the Seelie from falling in love with humans.

Thus, any love between a Seelie and a human would not be recognized by the world, and such unions could not produce offspring.

During this period, Teyvat welcomed its second Traveler. Unlike Phanes, this traveler did not possess the power to alter the world and thus was not considered a Descender.

However, the leader of the Seelie fell in love with this outsider.

Defying Phanes' rules, she prayed to the Three Moon Goddesses for intervention. Under their witness, she swore an eternal oath of union.

This act shattered the rule that Seelie and humans could not have children.

Encouraged by this success, other Seelie began praying to the Three Moon Goddesses, seeking the same.

Phanes saw this as a betrayal. The once peaceful First Era ended, giving way to the early Age of the Great War.

Phanes waged the First War against the native deities of Teyvat.

In just thirty days, calamities swept across the land. The Seelie and their human lovers were forced to flee amidst the chaos of a crumbling world.

After the war, Phanes exiled the Seelie and placed a curse upon them:

The Curse of the Lost: Seelie and humans would forever be separated.If a Seelie fell in love with a human, she would lose her divine beauty, her mind would collapse, and her voice would vanish.She would transform into a small, wandering spirit, doomed to roam the forests and mountains for eternity.

Noah could understand both the Seelie and Phanes.

The Seelie simply wanted to bear children with humans and live fulfilling lives.

Phanes, having just arrived in Teyvat, needed humanity to grow rapidly to establish dominance and spread Human Realm Force across the world.The Seelie' love for human heroes delayed this process and, worse, turned to the Three Moon Goddesses for aid—effectively stabbing Phanes in the back.

However, Noah was not Phanes.

Lifting the curse on the Seelie would undoubtedly make them his loyal followers. After all, their only desire was to love and unite with humanity.

The Seelie were not true Archons but were comparable to them in power. They were akin to the nymphs of Greek mythology.

Reminiscing About the Goddess of Flowers

As Noah enjoyed Nilou's dance, he heard Rukkhadevata's soft voice, a sound as soothing as the wind.

"The Dance of Sabzeruz… It brings back memories.

"Three thousand years ago, not long after I met Amon and Malikata, we agreed to govern Sumeru together. Shortly after, it was my birthday, and I invited the other Archons to celebrate.

"Back then, the world was still at war, so many Archons hesitated to come, fearing ulterior motives.

"Amon brought lanterns that illuminated the night sky. Morax gifted goblets crafted from Noctilucous Jade. The God of Freedom came as the wind, playing melodious tunes.

"And Malikata? She brought flowers and performed a dance amidst them to celebrate my birth. The scribes recorded this scene in detail.

"Every year on my birthday, the people of Sumeru reenact that moment, with citizens portraying the Archons, hoping to bring me joy."

Buer's gentle voice carried a hint of nostalgia and regret as she spoke.

"Beautiful moments exist only briefly; afterward, everything dissipates."

Noah, intrigued by her story, smiled and said, "A banquet of the gods, huh? Heh, I think one day I should host my own divine banquet. That would be quite entertaining."

After all, in Greek mythology, wasn't Mount Olympus often the site of grand feasts among the gods? As the Heavenly Principle of the Teyvat pantheon, Noah thought, surely he couldn't fall short of Zeus in such matters.

At that moment, Nilou completed the final scene of her Dance of Sabzeruz.

She bowed slightly, her expression full of satisfaction.

"Thank you, everyone, for watching my performance," she said.

If it had been before the Greater Lord Rukkhadevata's revival, Nilou would never have been able to perform so freely.

In the past, whenever the Zubayr Theater gathered a sizable audience, the Akademiya would step in to disperse the crowd and issue exorbitant fines.

Among the audience, voices of praise erupted:

"Miss Nilou's dance is truly breathtaking!"

"Indeed, I heard it was the same dance the Goddess of Flowers once performed at the Greater Lord Rukkhadevata's banquet..."

Suddenly, a purple Padisarah descended from the sky.

"Your dance was beautiful. This flower is for you. May you continue to perform even more stunning dances in the future."

A voice, both ethereal and imbued with a trace of majesty, whispered into everyone's ears.

Nilou froze in shock, staring at the Padisarah that hovered above her head.

According to legend, this was the same type of flower the Goddess of Flowers once gifted to the Greater Lord Rukkhadevata.

Instinctively, Nilou reached out and caught the flower as it gently descended.

The Padisarah began to emit a soft glow.

In an instant, the plants surrounding the Zubayr Theater burst into bloom, transforming the area into a scene straight out of a fairytale.

"Wow! Could that be the legendary Padisarah?"

"It descended straight from the heavens!"

"Flowers are blooming everywhere!"

"I heard a voice! Was that the voice of a god?"

"It was a male voice! Could it have been one of the gods of the Seven Nations passing by?"

"It must be divine power!"

"The god must have been watching Miss Nilou's performance!"

"Miss Nilou's dance even captivated a god enough to make them stop and admire it!"

As the Grand Bazaar erupted into excitement, Noah and his companions had already left the scene.

The Padisarah, imbued with a small set of magical properties, was blessed to never wilt, to bloom eternally, and to encourage nearby plants to flourish. Additionally, it offered mild protective powers to its owner.

In Liyue, such an item would be considered a treasure crafted by adepti.

At the highest point of Sumeru City.

Within the Sanctuary of Surasthana, Rukkhadevata gazed at Noah with gentle eyes.

"Are you preparing to leave now?" she asked softly.

Noah raised an eyebrow, surprised.

"Oh? You noticed? Could it be that you can hear my thoughts?"

Of course, his question was more of a playful jest. What deity could possibly read the mind of the Heavenly Principle?

However, Buer was indeed incredibly intelligent, both in terms of IQ and EQ, making her one of the wisest beings in Teyvat.

Buer reached out and gently placed her hand over Noah's chest, her voice as tender as ever.

"No, I cannot hear your thoughts. But your next destination is Fontaine, where you plan to open the second gateway to another world, isn't it?"

"You've already resolved Sumeru's issues. That's why you're preparing to leave, correct?"

Noah grasped her hand, a playful smirk appearing on his lips.

"Oh? Are you reluctant to let me go? Or perhaps you want to spend more time together? If that's the case, I might just take you seriously~."

Buer simply gazed at him with her usual gentle smile. Her lips curved slightly, and it seemed as though no matter what he said or did, she would comply willingly.
