Chapter 278: Chapter 278
The gods looked at the figure on the 'Throne of Heaven' with bated breath.
The topic of this meeting became highly tense as soon as it was announced.
An adjustment of the structure of the divine system? This was something closely related to all of the gods.
And a plan to violently invade another world?
Although they didn't understand why there was such a drastic choice, Lord Tianli was definitely not mistaken.
Takumi continued, his voice carrying the charm of 'truth' as it spread throughout the temple.
"First of all, as the number of gods increases, the current structure of the Teyvat pantheon is completely insufficient to maintain order.
"The most important issue is that the gap between gods at the same level is too vast, so the levels must be redefined, especially the levels of gods and main gods."
Hearing this, the gods couldn't help but swallow nervously. What did Lord Tianli mean? Was he planning to lay off gods? Or perhaps demote them?
It was unlikely that there would be layoffs. Teyvat was still in need of gods to maintain order. But demotions?
Takumi continued.
"The structure of the divine system will now be adjusted as follows."
"'God's Eye Holders' who light up the fourth life star, or any life in the universe that acquires a kind of godly essence, will enter the divine system and become 'Proto-Gods,' also known as 'quasi-gods.'
"The rankings of gods will be: lower god, middle god, upper god, main god, supreme god, and holy god.
"Those with ordinary godly essence will become lower gods."
"Those who become gods through the Eyes of God will ascend to the throne as gods."
"The difference, as before, is that those who master rules become middle gods."
"Next, the upper gods are particularly important. Upper gods master more than half of the rules in a specific domain of the Teyvat universe and become incarnations of those rules."
Some gods suddenly felt uneasy. Could they have been demoted to upper gods? They instantly felt a wave of panic.
But in the next moment, they breathed a sigh of relief.
"The main gods have mastered more than 50% of the rules in a specific domain of Teyvat and are the undisputed leaders of that domain."
The 'Original Dharma Ring' appeared behind Takumi, and his golden eyes glowed slightly.
"Next, I will open the path to promotion to the 'Supreme God.'"
Upon hearing this, the gods' hearts beat wildly.
The promotion path to Supreme God! Were they dreaming?
As main gods, they were acutely aware of what it meant to become a Supreme God.
They remained silent and looked at Lord Tianli attentively.
"The Kabbalah Tree of Life has been planted in the Teyvat universe, and the ladder to becoming a god has been opened. To become a Supreme God, one must understand the truth of the universe by oneself.
"To be promoted to Supreme God, you must comprehend the truth of the universe. Once the truth you understand reaches 10% of either of the two cosmic truths, you will naturally be promoted to Supreme God."
Takumi pointed to the armrest of the throne as he spoke.
Opening the channel to the 'Supreme God' was a temporary decision.
The Kabbalah Tree of Life was originally the ladder of life in the universe.
It was impossible for him to seal the ladder and suppress the advancement of life in the universe.
There was, however, a significant difference between the Supreme God and the Supreme God.
A 'Supreme God' who is promoted by comprehending the 'cosmic truth' is akin to a pool that continuously stores water, whereas a Supreme God who masters the 'Substantial Point' is a spring that continuously produces water.
Furthermore, the 'Supreme Gods' who had been touched by him were his swords and naturally shared a part of his power.
However, the Supreme God who comprehends the 'truth of the universe' is not a mere imitator.
The 'cosmic truth' is an absolute force in all worlds, and everyone under the 'truth' must obey it. This is no joke.
Of course, this is not the key point.
The key point is that the "cosmic truth" understood by the gods is cumulative and can increase the quality of the "Kabbalah Tree of Life."
In other words, the more the gods understand, the higher the quality of the 'truth' possessed by the ruler.
This creates a virtuous cycle.
Zhongli took a deep breath. Opening the passage to Supreme God!
He had originally thought that the position of main god was the peak, but he now realized that he could continue to move forward.
All he needed was to understand the truth of the universe.
He already understood what the "cosmic truth" was. Now, as long as the main gods had the "gift of truth" in their godheads...
It turned out that this was the way to become a 'Supreme God.'
If he could comprehend the 'truth' and expand his understanding, then the 'Supreme God's Throne' would not be far from him.
An unwavering calm that had lasted for so many years suddenly gave way to a surge of passion.
Not only Zhongli, but all the main gods were feeling the same intensity, as if their very essence was igniting.
Venti exclaimed excitedly, "Lord Tianli is merciful! I, Barbatos, will dedicate myself to Teyvat..."
The gods saw this and were ready to follow suit, but before they could say anything, Takumi raised his hand, signaling for silence.
Fanes looked at Venti flatly, and Venti's expression froze.
Oops, he had been so excited that he couldn't help but try to flatter Lord Tianli, completely forgetting that Fanes was watching.
Venti suddenly felt a chill, sitting back like an obedient student.
Takumi continued.
"Additionally, there is the matter of the time disparity between gods in the main world and those in the subordinate worlds."
"Because time flows faster in the subordinate worlds compared to the main world, the number of gods in the main world is far lower than in the subordinate worlds, which inevitably leads to an imbalance.
"Therefore, I will no longer control the belief system, allowing the beliefs of the subordinate worlds to flow freely into the main world."
The main reason the gods of the main world progressed slowly was that Takumi controlled the speed at which the power of faith from the subordinate worlds flowed into the main world.
Otherwise, within one year in the main world and thirty years in the subordinate worlds, the vast faith would have allowed the holders of the Eyes of God in the main world to become gods long ago.
Opening up the 'belief system' was effectively akin to practicing in the main world for one day and experiencing a year in the subordinate worlds.
He hadn't opened the 'belief system' before mainly due to concerns about gods ascending too quickly without enough worlds to conquer, which would lead to overcrowding in the main world.
Now that the 'God's Domain' had been opened up, and the land in the main world was rapidly expanding, the actual area of the seven nations had grown to be one-quarter larger than it had originally been.
Scholars from various countries had taken land expansion as a research direction.
The "quasi-gods" who had opened their "faith" and lit up the fourth life star in the main world would become gods within a few days, thanks to the overwhelming faith from the subordinate worlds.
"The last thing to adjust the structure of the gods."
"I will open all the rules of the Teyvat universe for the lower gods, middle gods, and upper gods to understand."
"Among the original demon gods, those whose understanding of the rules is less than 50% will be demoted to upper gods."
After saying this, the 'Original Dharma Ring' behind Takumi radiated all the rules.
The 'Original Dharma Ring' gradually dimmed, and all the rules were integrated with the Teyvat universe.
Once all the rules were spread, the 'Original Dharma Ring' vanished.
Of course, this did not mean the 'Original Dharma Ring' was gone forever.
If Takumi desired, he could summon the 'Original Dharma Ring' back in an instant.
As for the 'rules' understood by the gods, they remained under his control. Once the gods comprehended the rules, they only gained the right to use them.
"Alright, now comes the most important topic, the core subject of this meeting: the second phase of the Teyvat small universe—the plan to promote it to a galaxy-level universe."
