Genshin Impact: I, Heavenly Principle, Will Make Teyvat Supreme-Chapter 137: The Traveler Is Captured by Another Unknown God Again

Kanae Kocho and Shinobu Kocho followed Narukami-sama's gaze.

Seated in the shrine was the very same Fox Spirit who had descended upon their world twenty years ago, helping the Demon Slayer Corps eradicate the Demon King. And beside her, he sat—an ethereal young man with an aura beyond mortal comprehension.

His flawless features radiated an air of supreme divinity, and his golden eyes held the mysteries of the universe itself.

As newly ascended gods, the bond between them and the Creator was absolute.

The instant they beheld his form, an overwhelming wave of emotion crashed over them.

Thump-thump, thump-thump...

Their hearts raced. A flush of shyness overtook their minds.

Even as gods, human instincts remained.

The most primal instincts—survival and reproduction—dictated that the stronger the mate, the greater the desire for connection. And such desires naturally manifested as admiration, reverence... even love.

Before them was not just any god, but the supreme ruler of the universe.

To gods who still carried mortal emotions, resistance was futile. They were utterly entranced.

Raiden Makoto, noticing the rapid heartbeats behind her, turned and smiled knowingly. "Since the Heavenly Principle has graced Inazuma with His presence, let us go pay our respects."

Shinobu Kocho and Kanae Kocho bowed their heads in unison, voices tinged with nervousness. "Yes, Narukami-sama."

We're about to meet the Creator...

Anxiety coiled in their stomachs.

They had only just ascended, yet they were already granted an audience with the Creator God. How fortunate were they?

The Grand Narukami Shrine, though nestled on Mt. Yougou, was vast. The cherry blossoms bloomed perennially, filling the air with an intoxicating fragrance.

Led by the Raiden Sisters, the Butterfly Sisters approached the supreme presence.

Raiden Makoto's amethyst eyes shimmered as she respectfully bowed. Her voice carried the warmth of a spring breeze. "Lord Heavenly Principle, forgive our tardiness. These two are the newly ascended gods—The Goddess of Medicine and the Goddess of Healing."

She then turned to the two sisters, signaling them to introduce themselves.

Kanae Kocho, kneeling gracefully, felt her heart pounding. She dared not meet the Creator God's gaze. Her gentle voice trembled with nerves. "I-I am Kanae Kocho, L-Lord Heavenly Principle..."

Beside her, Shinobu Kocho clutched at the hem of her robes, feeling an uncharacteristic wave of anxiety. Though she had often spoken of the Supreme God in her past life, now that she was before Him, her tongue betrayed her.

"I-I... My name is... Shinobu... Shinobu Kocho, L-Lord Heavenly Principle..."

Noah's golden eyes calmly observed the sisters.

His impression of them remained rooted in the anime he had once watched. But now that they had ascended, perhaps it was time to 'consume' them properly.

In their world, only two individuals had yet to reach full ascension—one of whom was Mitsuri Kanroji.

That girl had originally sought a husband, but after receiving a Vision, her chances of marriage had dwindled further. Now, she threw herself into relentless training, convinced that if she became a goddess, some divine being would surely take her hand.

Listening to the thoughts running through the sisters' minds, Noah let out a soft chuckle and spoke warmly. "There's no need to be so nervous. Come, have some tea."

With a teasing glint in her eyes, Yae Miko poured two cups of tea. The cups floated gently toward the sisters, and her voice carried a hint of mischief.

"It has been quite some time, hasn't it? The two little girls from the Demon Slayer Corps... To think you would catch up to me so quickly."

Kanae Kocho respectfully accepted the tea with both hands. "Thank you, Lord Heavenly Principle. Thank you, Lady Fox Spirit."

Shinobu Kocho, still overwhelmed, followed suit, cradling the cup as if it were a divine relic.

To drink tea granted by the Lord Heavenly Principle Himself...

Raiden Makoto stole a careful glance at Noah's expression. Only when she sensed his satisfaction did she finally relax.

It seemed that the Heavenly Principle was quite pleased with the Butterfly Sisters.

Noah observed as the sisters carefully sipped their tea, handling the delicate cups with the utmost reverence before setting them down in front of them. A smile tugged at his lips.

"You two don't need to be so tense," he said. "The life of a god is not as rigid as you may think. As long as you fulfill your duties, you are free to enjoy your divine existence however you wish."

"Whether you choose to live among mortals, concealing your power, or dedicate yourself to ascetic pursuits of divine arts, or perhaps bestow blessings on your people—it is entirely up to you."

His voice was warm and reassuring.

"Do you remember what I told you when I first cast my gaze upon you?"

Hearing this, Kanae Kocho and Shinobu Kocho felt their tension ease, their minds drifting back to that pivotal day twenty years ago.

The voice that had once healed their scarred hearts echoed in their memories.

'Have you prepared yourselves to protect others at the cost of your own lives? I acknowledge your noble wishes. Then, with my blessing—live more freely.'

A lump formed in their throats, their eyes growing misty with emotion. In unison, they whispered, "We remember, Lord Heavenly Principle..."

Noah lightly tapped the table, and a plate of freshly prepared fried tofu floated toward them. His voice remained gentle. "Then be at ease before me."

Deeply touched, both sisters nodded. "Yes, Lord Heavenly Principle."

Now feeling more at ease, Shinobu Kocho reached behind her and gently pulled forward a quiet figure who had been standing behind them all this time.

"Lord Heavenly Principle, this is Kanao, the child my sister and I adopted. As per the Divine Covenant, she has been allowed to ascend with us."

Kanao immediately prostrated herself. Her voice was soft and melodious. "Lord Heavenly Principle."

Noah gave her an approving nod. "Kanao, is it? A lovely child. Live happily in Inazuma."

Kanao's eyes sparkled with reverence as she nodded. "Yes."

Raiden Makoto took the opportunity to step closer, her voice carrying an expectant tone. "Lord Heavenly Principle, may I ask whether your visit to Inazuma is for an important matter or merely for leisure? If it is for leisure, perhaps I could personally prepare a feast for you?"

Noah chuckled, understanding her intent all too well. "I am merely wandering for now. The world has just completed a grand evolution—I should take some time to enjoy it."

The world was now fully optimized. Moving forward, the conquest of other worlds could be executed using the full power of Teyvat itself.

The time had come to launch simultaneous incursions across multiple worlds, accelerating the universe's growth exponentially.

Raiden Makoto's eyes lit up with delight. "In that case, I shall—"

But before she could finish, an unexpected interruption shattered the moment.

"Lady Yae! Lady Yae! This is terrible!"

Sangonomiya Kokomi's urgent voice echoed as she rushed toward the shrine. Raiden Makoto's words were cut off, and a hint of displeasure flickered across her face as she turned toward the disturbance.

Kanae Kocho and Shinobu Kocho also turned their heads, confused. Who would dare cause such a ruckus in the presence of the Supreme Creator and the Twin Narukami?

Before they could question further, another frantic voice cried out—this one filled with panic.

A small, white figure flew into the shrine, her voice tinged with distress and near-tears.

"M-Miko! Miko, it's terrible!" Paimon wailed. "Lumine—Lumine has been taken by an unknown god!"

Paimon burst into the Grand Narukami Shrine, wailing as she flew inside. But upon seeing Raiden Makoto and Raiden Ei, she froze in shock. Then, as her gaze fell upon Noah, she instinctively flinched backward several meters, her teary eyes wide with fear.

Raiden Makoto and Raiden Ei exchanged glances. They both knew that Paimon was one of the Four Shades. After all, they had seen Istaroth in this form before.

Thus, when the Traveler and Paimon had arrived in Inazuma, they had treated them with a certain level of respect.

However, the Traveler had a knack for stirring up trouble—scaling mountains, sneaking into restricted ruins, and rummaging through long-sealed historical sites.

Fortunately, she exercised restraint and never interfered with the daily lives of Inazuma's citizens.

When she finally requested an audience at Tenshukaku, they had granted her a formal reception—largely out of consideration for her enigmatic companion. They had even prepared a grand feast and answered some of her questions.

Kanae Kocho and Shinobu Kocho remained silent, seated respectfully behind the Raiden sisters.

As newly ascended gods, they knew their place. This was not a situation where they could simply interject.

Raiden Makoto spoke gently. "What happened, Paimon?"

Paimon fidgeted anxiously, her face still streaked with tears.

Yae Miko, watching from the side, let out an amused chuckle. Her violet eyes gleamed with mischief. "Oh my, what's wrong, little one? Not long ago, you barged into Tenshukaku with the Traveler without a hint of hesitation. But now, all alone, you seem so timid."

She leaned in slightly, teasing. "Where is your ever-present companion now?"

Paimon stubbornly puffed up her cheeks. "I-I'm not scared!" But the moment she mentioned the Traveler, her resolve crumbled, and she burst into fresh sobs. "Waaaah! Miko! The Traveler—she's been taken by an unknown god!"

Raiden Makoto furrowed her brows. "An unknown god? In Inazuma? There are only five known gods here, two of whom only just arrived today. Who else could it possibly be?"

Paimon flailed desperately. "It's true! It happened on Watatsumi Island! Please, Miko, Lady Raiden, can't you speak to that god and get Lumine back?!"

Raiden Ei's expression darkened. "Explain everything—clearly."

Just then, Sangonomiya Kokomi entered, breathless and drenched in sweat. "Allow me to clarify, General."

She took a deep breath before continuing. "A strange noise was recently heard coming from the underwater cavern beneath Watatsumi Island. The Traveler questioned the islanders about it."

"Upon learning that the cavern led to the ruins of the ancient nation of Byakuyakoku, she volunteered to investigate the disturbance herself. I attempted to stop her from acting rashly."

"However, while I was away handling governmental affairs on Narukami Island, she sneaked in anyway."

Kokomi let out a weary sigh. "By the time I returned to Watatsumi, I found this little one crying her eyes out."

At that moment, she turned to face the gathered gods.

Her gaze hesitated upon Noah, and her heart skipped a beat. A soft blush crept onto her cheeks.

Lord Heavenly Principle... is here in Inazuma today?

Then, her eyes moved to the unfamiliar figures standing behind the Raiden sisters. She immediately sensed their divine presence, and her shock deepened.

More gods? First, Yae Miko ascended, and now there are two more gods in Inazuma?

Noah calmly placed his teacup on the table and regarded both Kokomi and Paimon.

Kokomi is close to unlocking her fourth Stella Fortuna, he mused. It seems the people of Inazuma truly trust her governance.

Her internal affairs expertise was undeniably outstanding.

"Paimon," Noah said, his golden eyes flickering slightly. "Slow down and explain things clearly. Otherwise, we'll have no way of understanding the situation."

As he spoke, his mind had already grasped the truth of what had transpired.

And upon realizing it, he couldn't help but feel a little speechless.

Paimon's eyes widened. "Y-You meanie! Are you going to help me or not?" She knew that this troublesome god from Celestia had the power to bring Lumine back.

Noah smirked playfully. "I have conditions. But Lumine will be the one paying the price. Speak now, or I'm leaving."

Panicking, Paimon flitted closer. "N-No! Don't go!" She waved her tiny arms frantically before launching into her explanation.

"It's like this—Lumine said she wanted to check out that ancient kingdom."

"So when no one was watching, she snuck in, dragging me along."

"That place was so creepy, really, really scary! It was filled with ghosts and weird monsters."

"B-But there were a lot of treasure chests... I told Lumine we should turn back, but..."

At this point, Paimon's mouth started watering. "She promised that if we found any treasure, she'd give me half to buy food. Slurp."

"At the very end of the ruins, there was this huuuge door with two stone statues standing guard. They called themselves the Keepers of the Underworld."

"They kept asking if we wanted to go in. And, of course, Lumine wanted to."

"But the statues told her she didn't have the qualifications. Lumine thought they were messing with her, so she fought them."

"She battled with them for a long time—until a goddess suddenly stepped out from the door, looking really, REALLY mad."

"She yelled at Lumine about something, and then—just like that—she took her and slammed the door shut."

"No matter how much I shouted, the door wouldn't open. No one answered me!"

"I was so scared! I barely made it back here without getting eaten by monsters. Waaaah!" Paimon trembled as tears streamed down her face.

Raiden Makoto sighed. "That... that Traveler really is something else... She actually trespassed into the Underworld's gates..."

The Underworld was a domain where only the dead could enter. Even divine beings such as themselves had to follow strict laws to gain passage—or risk dire consequences.

Noah chuckled. "Lumine tried to force her way into the Underworld? The realm of the dead? That's a place where only the deceased may tread. If a living person enters..."

Paimon gulped, her expression turning even more panicked. "W-What happens?!"

"Well, normally, they'd never come back."

Paimon let out a wail of despair. "Waaaah! Nooo! Lumine..."

Noah continued nonchalantly. "That is—under normal circumstances. I suppose I could negotiate with the goddess of the Underworld."

Paimon immediately stopped crying, puffing up her cheeks angrily. "You scared me half to death!"

Noah rose from his seat, turning to Raiden Makoto. "Makoto, why don't you prepare a feast? Gather the gods of Inazuma for a proper celebration."

"I'll take a trip to the Underworld and retrieve our reckless little Traveler."

Raiden Makoto's face lit up with joy at his casual use of her name. "Yes, Lord Heavenly Principle!" She was absolutely ecstatic.
