Chapter 353

The Great Dendro Archon slowly descended from the sky, a gentle smile gracing her face as she looked toward the gods.

At this moment, in her eyes, all the gods, except for the first-level main gods, had no secrets. Even the slightest movement of her divine thoughts could control the life and death of other gods.

The 'Supreme God' is the true ruler of the rules, while the gods are merely incarnations of those rules.

As long as they are not exposed to the "truth," any god can be broken in the eyes of the Supreme God. No matter how many gods band together against the Supreme God, it is meaningless.

At this point, it is truly as if one being could defeat millions of gods and demons.

The Great Dendro Archon looked at Venti, Zhongli, and the other seven original gods. Even they felt that only one or two moves would be sufficient to overpower them.

"Supreme, supreme... Is this what the concept of supreme truly means?"

In the past, she had only understood the word "supreme" in a limited sense, not grasping what it truly entailed. Now she understood it completely. Regardless of the concept, one can only fully understand it when they genuinely experience it.

The Great Dendro Archon was promoted to 'Supreme God' amidst the congratulations of the gods. Although the Archon left the banquet, the celebration continued.

The gods of the Sumeru pantheon had prepared a variety of games and entertainment for the visiting gods who had come to celebrate their Supreme God. These games were once the entertainment of mortals, but even the gods were completely absorbed in them.

Especially after games like 'Seven Saints Summon,' 'Liyue Chess,' and 'Feng Dan Chess' were modified to be cheat-proof even for gods, they found themselves almost addicted.

Even after the seven-day celebration ended, the gods from various pantheons were reluctant to leave. Some gods of Olympus, and even the Valkyries, refused to be pulled away.

Some stingy gods scratched their heads after losing, even attempting to renege on their debts. The sight of gods behaving this way left Olympus's gods looking even worse. Some gods could not even win against the children of Sumeru, rolling on the ground in frustration.

Finally, the Supreme God Nyx appeared, knocking out the embarrassing gods one by one and dragging them away like defeated dogs.

These various displays by the gods allowed the people of Sumeru to see that gods were not inherently superior. They had the same emotions and desires as humans. After all, most gods had been mortals once.

This helped people gradually become accustomed to the presence of gods, and there was no longer any fear if gods came to dine in their shops. All that was needed was reverence in one's heart.

On that day, gods could truly be seen everywhere. And even on days beyond the celebration, gods could occasionally be spotted.

After the seven-day celebration ended, the festive atmosphere in Sumeru City gradually faded, returning to the usual everyday life. People went about cleaning up the flowers, ribbons, and other decorations left over from the celebration.

Hu Tao stretched lazily: "Oh, I've had so much fun these past few days. The only regret is that there was so much fun that I couldn't enjoy it all. What a shame!"

Nilou smiled: "There's really no way to enjoy everything in just seven days. After all, these are games and delicacies from many different worlds."

Hu Tao nodded in agreement: "Exactly, so it's just a pity, not a regret. The celebration is over, so it's time to say goodbye. After all, there's no such thing as a never-ending banquet."

Nilou blinked thoughtfully: "After all, Hu Tao, you're the head of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, so this must be a time for you to enjoy yourself."

Hu Tao laughed happily: "It wasn't that busy. Nilou, you're welcome to visit Liyue. As the host, I'll be sure to treat you well."

Nilou's eyes showed a hint of anticipation: "Though I rarely leave Sumeru City, I will definitely visit Liyue Harbor if I get the chance."

Hu Tao put her hands on her hips: "Then I'll be waiting for the good news." She then looked at Takumi.

"Brother Takumi, I'll take my leave here. If you're ever in need, Wangsheng Funeral Parlor is always open to you."

Takumi smiled: "How could I refuse the invitation of Hall Master Hu? Since you invite me so kindly, I will certainly visit often."

Hu Tao danced a few small steps, waving as she left. "Then, goodbye~"

After saying that, she turned into a rainbow light and flew into the sky, heading toward Liyue like a shooting star.

Takumi crossed his arms and smiled: "Every banquet in the world must come to an end. It's time for me to leave as well."

Nilou looked anxious. "Lord Takumi, are you leaving already?"

Takumi looked at Nilou teasingly. "What's wrong? You can't bear to see me go?"

Nilou blushed in response, holding her hands in front of her chest. "I... I said before that I wanted to dance just for you, Lord Takumi, but I haven't had the chance yet..."

Takumi looked at the shy and innocent girl, a sense of satisfaction filling his heart. A golden key appeared in his hand, and he handed it to her.

"This is a key to my courtyard. If you want to dance for me, you can come and dance there."

Nilou looked at the golden key in wonder, reaching out her hands to take it. "Courtyard?"

Takumi smiled. "The courtyard is naturally my home. If you want to come, this key will open the door for you."

Nilou's cheeks turned bright red, her head lowered as if butterflies were about to burst from her chest. 'The key to Lord Takumi's home... that means...'

Nilou raised her head to say something, but found that Lord Takumi had already disappeared. She looked at the key in her palms, her heart pounding.

The newly crowned Supreme God, the Great Dendro Archon, sensed the aura of the courtyard and looked toward Nilou.

"Nilou... you are so fortunate. How happy would Maricata be if she could receive the key to the courtyard?"

After leaving Sumeru, Takumi traveled to Liyue Harbor. Walking through the streets like an ordinary person, he was lost in thought, contemplating the future.

"The Teyvat universe has reached this stage. The center of the universe has been born, many gods are spread across the universe, and the social form of gods has emerged. Now it is time to annex other worlds on a larger scale."

"Let me see how many world coordinates I can find at once."

'Beep! The system is starting to capture coordinates based on the world information in the host's mind.'

'Expanding search...'

'Expansion complete. Seventeen worlds found so far.'

'World coordinates are as follows: "Re:Zero - Starting Life in Another World," "Eromanga Sensei," "My Youth Romantic Comedy Is Wrong, As I Expected," "Charlotte," "Re:Creators," "Dororo," "Cautious Hero: The Hero Is Overpowered but Overly Cautious," "The Familiar of Zero," and others.'
