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

Chapter 125 - Instantly Expanding Influence, Time to Take Over

"Who are you?!"

The police, already terrified by the massive outbreak of the undead, now faced an even greater fear—a being beyond human comprehension. Their hands trembled as they aimed their pistols at the woman radiating with divine light, their voices breaking with panic.

Saeko Busujima held her silver sword with unwavering confidence, unafraid of firearms. She gazed down at them all and declared,

"The world has already fallen into apocalypse, and all of you know it. Then, is it so strange that the gods have come to save it?"

"I am Saeko Busujima, a Genshin chosen by the heavens. After aiding in the world's salvation, I shall ascend to celestial realm as a candidate for divinity."

"I now proclaim to everyone here—the God of Wind and Hope has dispatched the Knights of Favonius to descend upon this world and bring salvation."

"As of this moment, all remaining order shall be placed under the jurisdiction of the Knights of Favonius."

As she spoke, the holy mark on the back of her hand radiated an azure glow, transmitting divine knowledge into the minds of all surviving police officers and civilians. They instantly understood the origins of the undead virus, the divine will of the Anemo Archon, and the existence of the Teyvat Universe.

"If you refuse to abide by divine law, then—"

Saeko gripped her silver sword with both hands. The Vision embedded within her unleashed its full elemental power, reaching the maximum limit her body could endure.

A surge of cyan light erupted from her body and concentrated onto her sword.

Just as the police and civilians processed the influx of knowledge, their attention snapped back to reality as they witnessed an event straight out of legend.

All eyes widened in sheer horror.

"Hah—!"

Saeko slashed her blade toward the river below the bridge.

Boom—!

The cyan energy shot forward like an exalted Excalibur, colliding with the river's surface.

In an instant, the entire river split apart, its waters surging into towering waves that crashed onto the exposed riverbed, revealing the earth beneath.

Boom—Boom—Boom—!

Everyone fell silent, their expressions frozen in shock.

Saeko slowly returned her silver sword to its sheath.

The entire river had been momentarily drained by her single slash. A few seconds later, the riverbanks flooded again, water rushing back into the void with a deafening roar.

Splash—!

Rain drizzled down upon the bystanders as the mist from the displaced water settled over them.

Policemen's hands trembled as their guns slipped from their grips, clattering onto the pavement.

"G-God..."

"She is a goddess!"

"The gods have come to save us!"

"Divine intervention!"

The revelation of the virus's truth, combined with the overwhelming display of divine power, convinced both civilians and law enforcement alike within mere seconds.

In a world where chaos reigned, nothing enforced order better than absolute, overwhelming strength.

"Ahhh! Goddess, please save me! I was bitten!"

"Help! They've turned into undead!"

Though Saeko's immense power had temporarily restored order, the chaos within the crowd reignited almost instantly—after all, the undead were still present.

Among the gathering survivors were not only the desperate but also those infected, drawn by the noise, turning into undead amidst the masses.

"Goddess, I beg you! My child is still alive!"

In the blink of an eye, Saeko vanished from sight. When she reappeared, she was high in the air.

"Drawn Blade Slash!"

A blinding light burst forth above them. Countless crescent-shaped slashes of energy descended upon the horde below.

Vmmm—Vmmm—Vmmm—!

As terror gripped the crowd, the crescent blades precisely decapitated every undead in sight. At the same time, they cut down the malicious individuals who had been deliberately stirring up chaos.

Before anyone could even process what had just happened, Saeko landed lightly on the ground. An immense surge of elemental energy radiated from her body.

The divine energy scattered, enveloping the wounded yet kind-hearted among the crowd.

"Everyone, remain calm! These lights will heal those infected by the virus before they completely turn into the undead."

"As long as they haven't fully transformed, they can be saved."

The undead virus, at its core, was nothing more than a low-level infection. Elemental energy, a higher power from the Teyvat Universe, was more than enough to dispel it.

Even those without a Vision—such as the apprentice knights who had received the Wind's Blessing—could accomplish this feat.

The ability to cure infections was nothing short of a miracle for the people living in this apocalypse.

By displaying such divine power, it was only natural that they would earn unwavering loyalty from the survivors.

After all, every human fears death.

"Sob... Thank you, divine being! Thank you!"

"I'm alive! I won't die—I'm still alive!"

"Gods above!"

Those who had been bitten wept with gratitude, while even those who had remained unscathed knelt as if in worship, nearly prostrating themselves before Saeko.

The reporter broadcasting live snapped back to reality, his voice trembling as he announced, "A deity... A true deity has come to save us!"

"W-we are reporting from Tokonosu City! A god has appeared—this is real!"

"The divine one has revealed the truth about the virus."

"I must share this news with the world."

"The virus was leaked from a bioweapons lab, a conspiracy orchestrated by high-ranking officials to eradicate humanity!"

At that moment, across every remaining functioning television and radio broadcast in the world, people bore witness to this revelation.

Fear, when pushed to its absolute limits, transforms into rage. Survivors across the globe began cursing and condemning the masterminds behind the apocalypse.

At the same time, they learned of the gods, the Genshin, and the candidates for divinity.

More importantly, they learned that the divine had the power to heal the infected.

Meanwhile, the apprentice knights, who had already been fighting in Tokonosu City to slay the undead and save the innocent, found themselves suddenly recognized by the surviving citizens.

They didn't even need to explain themselves—desperate survivors actively sought their help, trusting them unconditionally.

After all, the Knights of Favonius possessed divine power, the ability to cure the infected.

And in a world teetering on the brink of destruction, what could be more trustworthy than divine intervention?

Only the wicked refused to believe.

Naturally, the surviving citizens of Tokonosu City placed all their faith in the apprentice knights, treating them as their guiding light—their last hope.

—Elsewhere—

Saya Takagi had finally reunited with her mother, Yuriko Takagi. Unfortunately, her father, Souichiro Takagi had been bitten by his zombified butler in his office.

Yuriko Takagi could do nothing but tearfully put her husband down after he turned.

The Takahashi family estate, once a stronghold, had been abandoned after several household staff members turned into undead.

With no other choice, Yuriko led her private militia into the city, searching for her daughter.

After mourning her father's fate, Saya wiped her tears and convinced her mother to continue aiding the apprentice knights in rescuing survivors and eliminating the undead.

Celestia

Noah lifted his hand.

Before him, a holographic projection of Earth appeared.

"Not bad, not bad. A world with internet satellites is certainly convenient. A single live broadcast, and we've already spread our influence across the globe, securing the faith of 80% of humanity."

"Saeko Busujima... you've done quite well. I suppose I should reward you later."

"But honestly, we don't even need to wait—this world is already ripe for assimilation."

Noah had expected to wait at least another ten days, but he had underestimated the speed at which information spread via internet satellites.

Under the overwhelming despair of the apocalypse, the appearance of a god descending to save humanity instantly became the sole lifeline for countless people.

The story itself was clichéd, but it was the most direct and effective approach.

"And now, the fate of the entire world has changed."

Noah stroked his chin.

"Have I fallen into some kind of mental trap? A fixed way of thinking?"

He had instinctively assumed the story would follow the anime's plot, but reality had deviated completely.

The protagonist's friend and Rei Miyamoto were not childhood sweethearts, nor did he lose her to his best friend and go to the rooftop to brood.

Because he never went to the rooftop, he was instead bitten by his zombified deskmate.

Even Takagi Saya's father had turned into a zombie in his office after being bitten by his infected butler.

"I see... My memory is based on a static anime, but in a real world without divine intervention, fate is inherently chaotic."

"It's precisely because low-tier worlds are ruled by chaos that they developed technological civilizations."

"There's only one more day until I can pull the entire planet into our domain... But even a single day feels too long. Let's give things a little push."

Noah's golden eyes glowed slightly.

The Human Realm Force System activated.

...

Highschool of the Dead

Dusk

A meteor shower streaked across the skyline, moving at speeds no human spacecraft could match.

As the meteors crossed the sky, occasional ones broke away, descending toward the earth.

Offshore port.

A special forces officer in a leather jacket held a heavy sniper rifle, continuously firing at the slow-moving undead flooding in from the port's bridge.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

At the same time, she barked orders into her radio, coordinating with her remaining officers.

"There are at least a hundred undead breaching the southern fence! Use heavy firepower! If that fence goes down, we're all trapped here!"

"Yes, ma'am! But there's barely anyone left—most of our colleagues have turned..."

Rika Minami clenched her teeth, flicking her cigarette to the ground. "Damn those corrupt politicians! If I get the chance, I'll put a bullet in their heads myself!"

She briefly wondered if Shizuka Marikawa, that airheaded nurse, was still alive. If that idiot survived, it would be nothing short of a miracle.

"Ma'am, this is bad!"

"What? Another infection?"

"No—a meteor is heading straight for you! Run!"

"What?!"

Rika's head snapped up. She had been so focused on taking down the undead that she hadn't noticed the sky ablaze with meteors.

And one was plummeting directly toward her.

Her pupils shrank. "Am I really this unlucky?" Her radio slipped from her grasp.

"Ma'am!"

Just as she braced for impact, her vision was engulfed in blinding white light.

When the light faded, she realized she was still alive. In front of her hovered a strange, glass-like orb adorned with intricate patterns.

Just as Rika reached out to touch it, a voice echoed in her ears.

"Mortal of the apocalypse, recall the deepest wish within your heart."

"If your wish is righteous, the gaze of the Heavenly Principle shall descend upon you."

Rika felt dizzy but quickly grasped the significance of the moment.

She had already learned about the existence of gods through radio broadcasts and heard of the Knights of Favonius descending to save the world.

"The greatest wish? To be chosen by the gods..."

"Hahaha, am I about to become a hero? Like the warriors of Greek mythology?"

"The greatest wish... let me think..."

Rika Minami recalled the innocent dream she had as a child—the very dream that had driven her to become a special forces officer.

"My wish, of course, is to eliminate all criminals in the world, to rid the planet of scum who destroy the happiness of others."

[Your wish is righteous. Carry this power and save the world.]

The Vision instantly bonded with Rika, forging a contract with the Heavenly Principle.

A Vision was both a gift and a responsibility. From this moment onward, her life's path would be dedicated to fulfilling her wish.

A flood of knowledge surged into Rika's mind, revealing the true nature of the world.

"So, a Genshin... a candidate selected by the heavens to become a god?"

As she processed this revelation, an overwhelming power awakened within her.

Her knowledge of firearms was no longer just technical expertise—it had transformed into an instinctive mastery, as if she had become a character in a fighting game with maxed-out stats.

"Commander! Commander!"

Urgent voices crackled through her radio.

Rika picked it up and laughed boldly. "Stop yelling, I'm fine! Stay put—I'm coming to break you all out!"

With that, she leaped from the tower, her sniper rifle in hand, and aimed at the densest horde of undead below.

"Let's test out this new firepower!"

Boom!

A bullet infused with elemental energy struck the horde, detonating like a heavy aerial bomb, clearing a 100-meter radius of undead in an instant.

...

Meanwhile, the meteoric shower of Visions had circled the Earth before gradually fading away.

Across the globe, those who harbored genuine wishes to make the world a better place had witnessed the divine spectacle. However, only a select few were truly worthy of receiving a Vision.

Even those with noble dreams could be swayed, and such uncertainty made them unfit for divine selection.

In the end, only 400 individuals worldwide had been granted a Vision.

Yet, even with just these 400, it was more than enough to save the world and establish a new civilization.

The current Vision system far surpassed its original iteration.

Simply obtaining a Vision now elevated one to an extraordinary level, making them a force to be reckoned with.

Of course, this "overpowered" status was only because this world was of a lower tier.

Had this been Teyvat, a Vision wielder would still feel stronger, but the actual power gap would be much less drastic.

After all, as the main world continued to evolve, everything within it also became sturdier.

Within a single day, these new Vision holders had become the saviors of the world.

People had begun to recognize them as Genshin—candidates for godhood—and referred to them as deities.

After all, in a low-tier world, Vision wielders might as well be gods.

Even the leaders of various nations, including those complicit in the apocalypse, openly supported the Genshin in their efforts to save humanity.

...

Tokonosu City

Although the streets were still overrun with undead, the Knights of Favonius and the two newly awakened Vision holders had completely reestablished order.

Public sentiment was overwhelmingly in their favor—so much so that even mass executions of evildoers went unchallenged. In fact, the people fully supported it.

...

Celestia

Noah smiled. "Higher-tier civilizations truly overpower lower ones—it only took a few hours to achieve complete influence and 100% faith."

"Well then, let's begin the assimilation process."

[Ding! Assimilation process initiated.]
