Chapitre 199: Chapter 199
Aether looked at the three gods who greeted him, feeling conflicted. "Long time no see, all of you."
Not long ago, he had planned to bring the Abyss to Sky Island and flood the Teyvat continent. Now, he found himself on Sky Island as a colleague among the gods.
The other demon gods who had never seen Aether or the 'Tide of Dark Beasts' were all observing this 'Supreme God.' Though he belonged to the Abyss, they could clearly sense his immense strength.
Even Zhongli felt an obvious sense of oppression.
Before Zhongli and the others could say anything, the three comical abyss demon gods behind Aether spoke up.
The Thunder Abyss Demon God, Onar, spread his arms wide. "Ah~ Is this Sky Island? His Majesty's palace is so magnificent that it makes one want to kneel in reverence."
Not to be outdone, Egil, the Abyss Demon God, took a deep breath with an intoxicated expression. "Wow! This is indeed the air that our master has breathed. It's so different from the Abyss, so sweet."
Fuchshang was stunned. How could these two grovel so quickly? He had to learn from this.
Even if you wanted to praise, you had to do it just right. Praising excessively like this could only lead to trouble.
The gods on the steps looked at the two abyss demons, who were even more shameless than Barbatos. The disdain in their gazes was evident. Even the kind and gentle Kusanali pulled Nahida away.
Zhongli remained silent, while Venti's mouth twitched. She suppressed what she wanted to say, then turned her head and continued walking up the steps silently.
The other demon gods, who already harbored a trace of hostility towards the Abyss, now felt even less inclined to greet them.
Even though this was the 'Supreme God,' they had no desire to get close. The 'Original Demon God' and the 'Abyss Demon God' simply could not be compatible.
Aether's face turned red in embarrassment as he clenched his fists. These two idiots were groveling without even glancing at him, utterly humiliating him.
It was one thing to lose face in the Abyss, but now it was an embarrassment before the entire pantheon.
Aether looked at the two fools with a murderous glare. "Hey, you two, cut it out with the flattery. If you dare speak again, I'll tear you apart in the Abyss."
The two Abyss Demon Gods immediately trembled in fear, huddling together like frightened mice. They feared the murderous intent in Aether's gaze.
This was bad. They had made His Highness angry again. Ever since His Highness became the 'Supreme God,' he had changed. He punched and kicked them at every turn—it was terrifying.
Fuchshang chuckled inwardly. Those two idiots, even though they're stronger than me, are always getting themselves into trouble.
At this time, the gods qualified to participate in this meeting of the gods began to gather.
The thrones of the 'Main Gods' appeared in the grand temple according to the order of the 'Blueprint of the Gods.'
There were not many main gods in Teyvat at present.
From Inazuma: Raiden Shogun, Raiden Ei.
From Mondstadt: Venti.
From Liyue: Zhongli, Guizhong, Havria, Azhdaha.
From Sumeru: Kusanali, Nahida, Maricata, and Apep.
From Fontaine: Furina and Neuvillette.
From Snezhnaya: The Tsaritsa.
From the Abyss: Aether and three comical figures.
Eighteen statues in total.
Takumi sat on the throne with his legs crossed, his golden eyes observing the gods as they entered the temple.
To his left and right sat Istaroth and Asmodeus, with Esdeath next to Asmodeus.
The right-hand throne belonged to the 'Original Demon God,' while the left-hand throne belonged to the 'Abyss Demon God,' representing the two opposing sides of the world.
"We greet Lord Tianli."
The gods approached their thrones, bowed respectfully to Takumi, and then sat down. They looked at Takumi solemnly, awaiting his words.
Takumi nodded. "Let's get to the point. This meeting is to determine the implementation of order in the Teyvat universe."
"The order of the Teyvat continent will remain unchanged."
"The 'Underworld Reincarnation' runs through the center of Teyvat and all its 'subordinate worlds.' It requires the gods to perform detailed 'clerical duties.'"
The demon gods were incarnations of rules, and these rules were their 'clergy.' 'Clerical duties' referred to the responsibilities and duties the gods must fulfill.
The gods listened seriously. They had known for some time that this meeting would assign clerical duties, but they hadn't expected it to be related to the 'Underworld.'
The Underworld was undoubtedly a crucial place within the 'Teyvat Universe,' and also the place where the greatest achievements could be earned.
After all, the place was newly created, and everything was still blank. As long as order was established and maintained, it would be a great accomplishment.
Venti quickly raised her hand and said with a fawning expression, "Lord Tianli, the old man and the others must be busy. Why not give me the Underworld clerical duties? I have a lot of experience in maintaining order."
Zhongli looked at Venti and replied calmly, "Barbatos, what you said is incorrect. Liyue is now at peace, and the Qixing of Liyue have already qualified as 'god reserves.' The Adepti have also become gods."
"On the other hand, you are the only god in Mondstadt. Are you, Barbatos, abandoning your duties as the Anemo Archon?"
Venti's expression turned sour. "Old man, you are the one making things difficult for me. You have achieved so much. Now that I want to achieve something, are you here to stop me?"
Thinking this, his expression was full of resentment. "Old man, you wouldn't be like this."
Zhongli remained silent. He had his responsibilities—there were many mouths in his domain to feed. Barbatos had fewer responsibilities, while he had many dependents.
Takumi looked at Barbatos and Zhongli, who were arguing over the task. Resting his cheek on his hand, he spoke, "The Seven Rulers of the World should not compete for the clerical duties of the 'Underworld.' We must give others a chance."
He then looked at Maricata.
"Maricata, you have experience establishing order and educating humans. You will temporarily take over the clerical duties of Pluto and establish a complete administrative system for the Underworld according to my plan."
A golden book appeared before Maricata. She caught it subconsciously, her eyes widening with delight as she looked at Takumi, admiration evident in her gaze.
She had been directly appointed to temporarily take over the role of 'Pluto.' Pluto was the highest 'Lord God' of the Underworld, responsible for supervising the running order of the entire Underworld.
Lord Tianli must have a favorable opinion of her to entrust her with such an important clerical duty.
"Yes, Lord Tianli, Maricata will fulfill Pluto's duties."
If she could establish order in the Underworld, Lord Tianli would certainly look upon her favorably, and perhaps even praise her.
Ah, how delightful.
Havria became nervous when she saw Lord Tianli looking at her.
"Havria, you will temporarily assume the role of the 'Lord of Reincarnation' and assist Maricata in managing the dead who resist reincarnation."
"The Underworld is a very important center. You must not fail in your duties; otherwise, you will be dealt with according to divine law."
As Takumi said this, his golden eyes exuded a hint of supreme authority.
Though he had absolute control over the laws of order in the Underworld, it was already a world as powerful as the Teyvat continent. If anything went wrong there, it would cause immeasurable disaster for the souls entering the Underworld for reincarnation.
This matter not only concerned the Teyvat continent but also its subordinate worlds.
The population of a subordinate world could decline rapidly if anything went wrong, causing an entire epoch to collapse.
And any god in the Underworld with a 'divine position' must perform their duties accordingly; otherwise, they would violate 'divine law' and face punishment.
Havria felt Lord Tianli's pressure and said tremblingly, "Yes, Lord Tianli, I will fulfill my duties."
She knew that though Lord Tianli seemed casual at times, he absolutely did not allow mistakes when it came to important matters.
His rewards and punishments were always clear.
Takumi continued, "The other gods must cooperate with Maricata and Havria in their clerical duties."
The gods dared not even breathe loudly and quickly answered, "Yes."
Takumi then looked at Aether, the 'Lord of the Abyss.' "Those sinners who disturb the reincarnation will be cast into the Abyss and will never be reborn. This will be your responsibility."
Aether nodded. "No problem." He complained internally, *Anyway, the Abyss is the garbage dump of the Teyvat universe. All negative things end up here. If you're not an 'Abyss species,' staying there is pure suffering.*
The pressure emanating from Takumi completely dissipated, and he smiled as he said, "Now, let's move on to the easier matter—the construction of the Teyvat Divine Realm."
