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

An even denser surge of elemental energy raged through the ley lines.

Boom!

Dark clouds rapidly gathered over the region, while multicolored auroras illuminated the skies.

Scholars and adventurers exploring the area sensed the sudden spike in elemental energy and quickly retreated.

Even Vision bearers would feel a drunken stupor in such environments, let alone ordinary people without elemental affinity—for them, it was a lethal poison.

Far away, in Sumeru's rainforests, the Greater Lord Rukkhadevata, teaching Nahida, turned her gaze toward the desert.

As Sumeru's deity, she could sense the condition of the ley lines.

"That's the direction of Khaenri'ah. Is Lord Heavenly Principle purging the remnants of the Cataclysm from five hundred years ago?"

She thought of the overwhelming purifying power that Heavenly Principle had demonstrated when expunging forbidden knowledge from the World Tree.

That level of force went beyond purification—it was complete eradication.

Only with absolute power could such erasure occur. Phanes had never possessed such strength.

Indeed, Noah was channeling the ley line's energies through his body, using it as a filter while his system engaged a cleansing mode.

The abyssal power contaminating the area was being eradicated.

Without this purification, resurrecting Malikata would result in her absorbing the ley line's corruption as well.

At that point, Malikata wouldn't merely return as a pure god; she'd also carry the taint of the abyss.

Without the Void Realm's power at his disposal, Noah had to avoid any chance of Malikata becoming an ally of the abyss.

Yae Miko and Istaroth weren't shocked by this display of power—they found it entirely expected.

If this lord could devour worlds and resurrect gods, what couldn't he do? Purifying such a vast stretch of ley lines was trivial.

While purifying the ley lines, Noah also reinforced the seal over Khaenri'ah's subterranean entrance beneath the Gavireh Lajavard.

That location, second only to the Void Realm sealed under the Moonlit Depths, contained the densest concentration of abyssal energy in Teyvat.

Fully cleansing such a place would be exhausting even for him. Strengthening the seal was enough for now.

The system's cleansing process moved swiftly. Within less than a day, the abyssal power clinging to the ley lines like maggots was completely eradicated.

The light from the Harvisptokhm, which had been piercing the skies to suppress abyssal energy, dimmed and returned to normal.

The crimson miasma that had tainted the skies dissipated, revealing clear blue skies dotted with white clouds.

Scholars and adventurers fleeing the area froze in shock at the rapidly transforming landscape.

"What's going on? What happened?"

"I have no idea, but something major must've occurred!"

"That's obvious! But should we return and resume our exploration?"

"The strange elemental energy in this desert is gone; of course, we should investigate further."

"Maybe we can uncover the truth behind this desert's transformation!"

Noah's actions had not gone unnoticed by the local inhabitants—the Pari.

These tiny beings, created from flowers by the combined powers of the Greater Lord Rukkhadevata, Egeria, and the Goddess of Flowers, quietly observed him from hidden corners.

Unlike the Aranara, they lacked human-like forms, appearing as ethereal, flower-like entities.

Noah exhaled deeply.

"This job is soul-crushing. No wonder the Seven Archons are such slackers."

He stretched.

"Alright, time for the Primordial Fragment."

The Primordial Ring of Law behind him glowed as a soft hum resonated.

The flowers of the Vourukasha Oasis shed their petals, rising into the air and surrounding Noah and his companions in a sea of floating blossoms.

Hum—

A pale pink sphere, interwoven with traces of water-elemental authority, materialized amidst the flowers. Alongside it, a wisp of white consciousness flickered faintly.

"Where am I?"

Under the overwhelming power of Heavenly Principle, Malikata's fragmented consciousness rapidly began to reassemble. Her awareness and memories gradually returned.

"I remember… I was dead. Then my essence was scattered… but now…"

As her memories continued to recover, the details of her death came flooding back.

She had agreed to the Scarlet King's request to pursue forbidden knowledge in his quest for an Eternal Paradise—a world without hunger, disease, pain, or war.

At first, she had doubted the existence of such a world. But her people yearned for it, their hopeful, pleading eyes forcing her to relent.

As a descendant of the original Seelie ancestors, she held the knowledge of where the Heavenly Principle had sealed the Void Realm's power—a forbidden force, and the greatest adversary of the First Throne.

She knew opening its seal would be a direct transgression against the laws of Heavenly Principle, punishable by death.

Thus, she decided to end her own life first, believing that her death would spare her people from the curse of judgment.

Her memory shifted to after her death, recalling how she was later reawakened by the power of the Abyss.

Driven by guilt and a need for redemption, she reassembled what remained of her divine power and transformed into the Divine Bird Simurgh, rescuing the last of her people from the contaminated lands.

Finally, she returned to the land of her birth and consumed the remnants of Pure Water, tearing apart her divine form to scatter her essence.

Her fragmented consciousness purified the Abyssal energy that plagued the land, leaving her utterly dissolved.

She had believed herself gone forever.

But now, inexplicably, her awareness had returned.

This energy…

It felt as though her body was reforming, her senses and divine faculties being restored.

Confused yet curious, she slowly opened her eyes.

What met her gaze was a boy exuding an aura of absolute authority, with the Primordial Ring of Law revolving behind him.

Her divine essence, instinctively connected to the Primordial Source, immediately recognized him.

He was Heavenly Principle.

Before she could speak the words "Lord Heavenly Principle," a surge of foreign information flooded her mind.

She now knew:

• The First Throne was no more; Phanes had fallen.

• The one before her was the New Throne, wielding power surpassing even Phanes.

• The World-Devouring Plan, and his divine will to reshape all realms.

Stunned by the influx of knowledge, Malikata's thoughts froze until the commanding voice of Heavenly Principle pulled her back to reality.

"Descendant of the Seelie, Goddess of Flowers, Malikata, you are a wise one. You should already understand my will."

"However, the Seelie carry the original sin of betraying the First Throne twice. You know this, don't you?"

Regaining clarity, Malikata realized she had been fully resurrected. As her bare feet touched the earth, the sensations of life reminded her of its beauty.

Lowering her head, she responded in a voice as melodious as a nightingale's.

"Yes, I understand, Lord Heavenly Principle."

Her waist-length hair adorned with flowers swayed gently. The divine garments on her body resembled blooming petals, emanating a serene elegance.

She knew exactly what he referred to:

The first betrayal—when the Seelie queen allied with the Moon Sisters, Phanes's adversaries.The second betrayal—her own act of unsealing the Void Realm's power.

Malikata, possessing a wisdom equal to that of the Greater Lord Rukkhadevata, was fully aware of the weight of these transgressions.

Noah gazed at the flower goddess who now stood before him, her head bowed, submissive to his judgment.

He spoke slowly, his words sharp yet deliberate:

"If I were to lift the curse placed upon the Seelie, could you guarantee that Heavenly Principle would not face betrayal a third time?"

"I hate traitors even more than Phanes did."

Malikata froze upon hearing the offer to lift the curse. Her disbelief quickly gave way to realizatio—this was an opportunity, not just for her, but for the entire Seelie race. She knelt down, her voice humble yet determined:

"Great Heavenly Principle, if the Seelie ever show the slightest hint of betrayal, I implore you to erase our existence entirely from this world."

She knew this was their chance—the only chance—and it required her absolute devotion.

Noah nodded, his expression calm but sharp.

"Good. Remember your words. From this moment, if a single Seelie betrays me, the entire Seelie race will be erased."

Behind him, the Primordial Ring of Law briefly glowed, and with that, the curse placed upon the Seelie race by Phanes was lifted.

At the very moment the curse dissolved, Malikata's promise to Heavenly Principle imprinted itself in the memories of every surviving Seelie.

Having completed his task, Noah turned and, along with Istaroth, left the Vourukasha Oasis and continued toward Fontaine.

As they departed, the Pari cautiously emerged from their hiding places, drawn by an ancient memory of their creator.

A brave Pari, her voice trembling with both awe and hope, called out:

"Are you… the Mistress of Flowers?"

"I am Zurvan," she continued. "The first of the Pari, and the grandmother of all who bloom here."

Malikata smiled warmly as more Pari gathered around her, surrounding her with joy and curiosity.

"Yes, little ones, I am your mistress," she said softly, memories of the past flooding back to her.

In her heart, she felt an unending gratitude toward the new Heavenly Principle for restoring her life and freeing her kin.

Fontaine

Arriving at the gateway between the desert and Fontaine, the stark contrast of environments was striking

Fontaine rested on the highest plateau of Teyvat, yet it was an inland sea. Its boundaries were marked by immense waterfalls stretching endlessly into the horizon. Special elevators carried travelers up the cliffs to the city.

The vast volume of water flowing through Fontaine originated from its dense concentration of hydro-elemental energy. Water here cycled perpetually, forming clouds above the plateau before cascading down as waterfalls to replenish Teyvat's rivers and oceans.

"Welcome aboard the route to the Fontaine Courthouse! I'm your pilot and guide, Aeval. And no, you don't need to look at me that way, dear guests. We Melusines are a common sight in Fontaine."

Aeval's voice carried a hint of annoyance as she noticed Noah and Istaroth intently studying her.

Noah withdrew his gaze and offered an honest, if blunt, explanation:

"I wasn't staring out of rudeness; I was simply curious about your composition."

The Melusines, as Aeval was, were the result of Rhinedottir's alchemical experimentations with abyssal power. These beings were artificial lifeforms born from the fusion of Abyssal energy and the light-elemental forces of Teyvat.

For Noah, their existence offered potential insights into understanding and controlling the Void Realm's power.

Aeval, however, paled at his words.

"G-Guest! Harming a Melusine is a serious offense! You'd face judgment in Court of Fontaine. And let me remind you, there are plenty of guards waiting at the next station!"

Noah seemed unfazed, dismissing her warnings as his attention turned toward the approaching Fontaine station. His eyes gleamed with intrigue.

"Oh? It seems I'm receiving the traveler's privilege. Even Lady Furina herself has come to greet me. How interesting."

Istaroth, peering into the distance, couldn't help but comment dryly:

"It's clear she's not here for you, my lord."

Noah's face turned serious as he glared at her.

"If I say she is, then she is."

Istaroth: "..."

Yes, yes. Of course, my lord. After all, you are the Heavenly Principle.
