Genshin Impact: I, Heavenly Principle, Will Make Teyvat Supreme-Chapter 133: Alice, You’re Drooling

As they stepped out of the tavern and onto the streets, word of what had transpired inside quickly spread throughout Mondstadt. After all, people loved to gossip about daily affairs and urban legends.

Nahida observed the stark contrast between Mondstadt and Sumeru City. "Mondstadt feels so lighthearted. The people here seem truly happy."

Being praised by a fellow god—especially in front of his superior—filled Venti with pride, though he maintained a humble facade. "Actually, I haven't interfered much with the people of Mondstadt. Everything they have today is the result of their own efforts."

However, just as Venti was basking in his moment of glory, Nahida's next words made his expression freeze.

"Mondstadt is the land of freedom. The Greater Lord Rukkhadevata once said, 'Freedom without restraint is indulgence. One's own freedom should not come at the cost of limiting another's.'"

Nahida looked up at Venti with an innocent, inquisitive expression. "Barbatos, have the people of Mondstadt ever faced problems in their pursuit of freedom that they couldn't resolve?"

A cold sweat rolled down Venti's forehead. How was he supposed to answer that?

If he admitted there were problems, wouldn't that make him seem like an incompetent Anemo Archon?

But if he denied it, she'd probably follow up with more questions that he wouldn't be able to dodge.

Noah watched in amusement as Venti struggled under Nahida's relentless questioning.

Nahida was excellent in many ways—but she had no emotional intelligence. She seemed perceptive, but in truth, she relied entirely on imitation.

After being confined for five hundred years, she lacked real-world experience. It was akin to a keyboard warrior online who, in real life, couldn't string two words together due to social anxiety.

Just as Venti was about to steer the conversation away, a pair of red figures—one large, one small—came rushing toward them.

"I knew you'd be in Mondstadt around this time! The moment I got back, I came straight here to wait—and I was right!"

Wearing a red witch's hat, Alice waved her hands excitedly, closing the distance in an instant to appear before Noah.

"I heard there are rewards for completing tasks! How could I possibly miss something this important?!"

Her ruby-like eyes sparkled, as if Noah were a walking treasure chest filled with endless wonders.

"Daddy!"

Behind Alice, a small figure in leather boots came running toward Noah. He quickly reached out and caught her.

Klee wrapped her arms around Noah's neck.

Nahida looked at Klee in shock. "Daddy?" But she quickly regained her composure. As a god, she could see through Klee's essence at a glance—just a normal Vision holder, not a divine being.

If Klee were truly the child of Heavenly Principle, she would possess some form of divine power.

In the Celestial Courtyard before coming to Mondstadt, there had been other little girls who also called Heavenly Principle "Daddy."

Venti discreetly wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief. Ah, what perfect timing for an interruption—otherwise, it would have been tough to brush off more of Nahida's probing questions.

She might look just like the Greater Lord Rukkhadevata, but her emotional intelligence was far too low.

In the future, whenever Little Lord Kusanali was around, I should probably keep my distance. Who knows what bizarre questions she'll ask next?

Noah kissed Klee's cheek. "My good daughter, have you been causing trouble while I was away?"

Klee shook her head frantically. "No, no! Klee didn't cause any trouble! While Daddy was gone, Klee was very obedient and stayed with Sister Barbara the whole time."

Noah kissed her other cheek. "Very good. Since my good daughter has been so well-behaved, Daddy will take Klee out to play. But you have to listen to Daddy, okay?"

Klee cheered excitedly. "Yay! Klee gets to go out and play!" She eagerly asked, "Where are we going? Klee wants to go to Cape Oath and blow up fish! Lots and lots of fish!"

Noah chuckled. "Cape Oath is too small, and there aren't many fish there. Daddy will take Klee to Inazuma to blow up fish instead. The seas in Inazuma are full of them."

Klee raised her hands high. "Hooray! We're going to Inazuma to blow up fish!"

"Now, say thank you to Daddy."

"Thank you, Daddy! Daddy is the best!" Klee was overjoyed and planted a kiss on Noah's cheek.

Although Jean and the others took great care of her, they never allowed her to blow up fish or create powerful bombs.

Having a daddy was the best!

Hearing about explosions instantly piqued Alice's interest. "Blowing up fish? That's nothing, my dear daughter! Let me tell you, blowing up gods is way more fun. Especially back in the Dark Sea when I blew up a god."

"It was so huge—so huge that the mushroom cloud was bigger than Mondstadt City! One big boom, enough to shake the heavens and the earth! The god screamed inside the explosion, but guess what? It didn't even die! So, I just kept blasting it over and over."

Alice's expression became one of nostalgic bliss, a look truly fitting for a mischievous witch.

Venti: "..." I'm also a god. The way you're describing this makes us sound weak. Are you subtly insulting me? I have no proof, but I feel personally attacked.

Klee's eyes sparkled. "Mommy, is that big mushroom cloud the same as the bomb you gave Klee last time?"

"Exactly!" Alice proudly lifted her chin.

"Daddy!" Klee looked up at Noah with eyes full of expectation.

Noah sighed. "That thing is very dangerous, but... you can use it, just not on the land of Teyvat. If you want to use it, it has to be over the ocean. And only once—after that, no more."

Klee was even more thrilled. "Yay! Such a big bomb will definitely blow up lots and lots of fish!"

"But not today. Tomorrow, Daddy will take you to Inazuma to play."

Noah set Klee down on the ground.

"Okay, Daddy!"

Klee then turned around and noticed Nahida, her eyes widening in surprise. "Are you an elf too? You look just like me!"

Nahida shook her head. "I'm not an elf. If we're talking about time, you actually look like me."

Klee didn't quite understand but blinked and reached out her hand. "Do you want to play with Klee?"

Nahida nodded. "Sure, let's play together." She took Klee's hand.

After becoming friends and playing with the other little girls in the Celestial Courtyard, Nahida no longer felt burdened by the invisible weight in her heart.

Klee happily pulled Nahida along the street, giggling. "Yay! Klee has a new friend!"

Venti watched Nahida being dragged away and gave Klee a mental thumbs-up. Well done, Klee! As expected of the Witch's daughter—even the Little Lord Kusanali couldn't resist her.

With Nahida off playing with Klee, Alice's eyes sparkled as she rubbed her hands together, looking at Noah with a greedy expression. "Hehe, so now it's time for rewards, right?"

Her mind was flooded with desires. There were so many things she wanted! Though extracting a vial of the Heavenly Principle's blood might be unrealistic, maybe a strand of hair? A clipped fingernail?

Or perhaps she could wish for the opportunity to research the principles of godly beings and the rules that govern them?

Or should she just straight-up ask for a divine authority?

Ahhh, so many possibilities! Maybe she should wish for multiple things at once?

Noah's lips twitched. "Hey, Alice, your greedy desires are practically overflowing from your eyes. Do you think I'm some kind of wish-granting genie?"

Alice quickly feigned ignorance. "Did I?"

Noah rolled his eyes. "Alice, don't even think about a reward. You didn't contribute much."

The moment she arrived in the Black Bullet world, she had been more interested in tracking down Stage Five Gastrea creatures from all over. Now, her personal storage bag was packed full of their flesh and blood.

She even planned to sell them to Rhinedottir. She had done nothing to aid the mission and still wanted a reward? Her calculations were truly audacious.

Alice pouted in protest, putting on a teary-eyed expression as she clung to Noah's arm. "Hubby~ Even if I don't have merits, I at least worked hard. Whatever you give me, I'll take."

As an old witch, she knew very well that her inner thoughts had probably already been exposed.

She decided not to ask for anything specific anymore. Anything she could get would be a win.

Noah remained expressionless. "World missions are rewarded based on contribution. No amount of acting cute will change that."

Although he adored his many "waifus," he couldn't let emotions cloud his judgment when it came to official matters. Basic rules had to be upheld.

Alice let go, pretending to be crestfallen. But deep down, she wasn't really disappointed—she knew she hadn't done anything deserving of a reward.

"Fine... Lord Heavenly Principle."

Noah clicked his tongue. When asking for rewards, she called him "Hubby." The moment she got nothing, it was back to "Lord Heavenly Principle." Whether they were gods, witches, or ordinary humans, some things never changed.

Alice crossed her arms and turned to Venti curiously. "So, what's Barbatos's wish? I'm quite curious."

Venti strummed a note on his lyre. "My wish is a simple one. It's tied to the past. I doubt Lady Alice would be interested."

Alice pouted. "Fine, don't tell me. It's not like you Seven Archons haven't already treated me like a jinx anyway."

Venti held back a retort. Well, at least she was self-aware. Did she even realize what kind of chaos she had written into the Teyvat Travel Guide?

Noah's golden eyes gleamed as he smiled. "Barbatos, your story is truly touching."

"A young girl called forth a wind spirit, carrying the hope of freedom. That wind spirit met a boy who longed to break free from the walls that confined him."

"The friendship between a mortal and a god lasted for 2,700 years, and now that friendship is renewed. A truly epic tale."

Venti lowered his head, his emerald eyes filled with nostalgia. "You flatter me, Lord Heavenly Principle."

An invisible force stirred.

Far from Mondstadt, in the ruins of a long-forgotten tower, a wisp of gray dust caught the wind and began drifting toward the city.

No one noticed this change. The people of Mondstadt simply felt that today's breeze was gentler and more comforting than usual.

The wind carried the dust to Barbatos, where it began swirling before him, gradually forming into a figure identical to himself.

These particles were remnants of the mortal bard who had once led the rebellion against the tyrant of the Tower.

Like fireflies, glowing specks of light emerged from the river of time, merging with the swirling dust.

Alice's eyes widened. She didn't dare blink for even a second.

A resurrection!

Over the past two days, she had heard many things from her friend Barbielos—many people who had perished were being brought back.

The mere thought had made her itch with excitement. Although she had heard of these resurrections, she had never witnessed one firsthand.

So this was how it happened? Gathering every trace of the deceased and then... what next? How exactly was this done?

Was time being reversed? Or something else entirely? A storm of thoughts whirled through Alice's mind.

The glowing fragments were, in fact, remnants of the bard's spiritual essence.

Noah had retrieved the soul fragments of the bard from 2,700 years ago, just after his death, and brought them to the present era.

Now, the dust—remnants of his decayed body—merged with these soul fragments. As everything coalesced, a surge of life energy began to pour into the form.

Before their eyes, the dust-formed clay figure rapidly transformed into flesh and blood.

Venti's eyes widened, his emotions manifesting as tears welling up in his eyes.

Memories of 2,700 years ago flooded his mind.

Back then, he had not yet become an Archon—merely a wind spirit drawn to a young man who longed for freedom and refused to bow to fate.

That young man had told him of the people's desire to resist the tyrant. He had known he might die, but before that happened, he wanted to see a bird in flight—free in the skies.

Determined to fulfill the young man's wish, the wind spirit had scoured all of Mondstadt on the eve of the rebellion. Yet, he had found no birds—only their feathers.

The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.

But by the time he returned, the war had begun ahead of schedule.

By the time he reached the young man, he had already stormed the tyrant Decarabian's palace. The guards' arrows had struck him down from the tower.

The wind spirit had done everything in its power, but it had not been enough to save him.

As the young man lay dying, he gazed at the feather placed before him and spoke his final words:

Fly, fly away, Like a bird in the sky. See the world on my behalf, To the heavens may you fly.

From that moment on, the wind spirit took on the young man's form, carrying his regrets. For 2,700 years, he had wandered across Teyvat, seeing the world the young man never could.

But deep down, he knew this was just self-consolation.

Now, the young man had fully regained his body, his heartbeat resonating with the vitality of life.

Venti watched nervously as the bard slowly opened his eyes. His once lifeless pupils quickly regained their light.

"Where... am I?"

Venti, surprisingly calm, strummed a note on his lyre. "Bard, welcome back to this world."

By then, Noah and Alice had already left.

Noah had no desire to intrude on such a deeply personal reunion, while Alice—well, she seemed intent on following him wherever he went.

She truly treated him like a walking treasure chest.

Knights of Favonius Headquarters

Grand Master's Office

Jean sat at her desk, organizing the documents that had piled up in her absence.

Many of the reports had been handled by other members of the Knights of Favonius, but some matters required the Acting Grandmaster's direct decision.

A woman dressed in deep purple robes that accentuated her alluring figure, her witch's hat resting elegantly on her head, spoke in a languid tone.

"Jean~ What does it feel like to save an entire world? Such a shame I wasn't able to participate."

"As a scholar, my curiosity is practically overflowing. You must tell me all the details about this otherworldly adventure."

Jean smiled warmly. "Mmm, once I finish my work, I'll share my experiences with you."

At that moment, the office door clicked open.

Both Jean and Lisa turned to look.

Jean quickly rose to her feet.

Lisa, surprised, blinked. "Oh my? A face I've never seen before... and such a handsome little brother at that."
