Chapter 158

As a dependent of Tianli, Istaru recognized what this was at a glance: the ultimate authority of the world.

She knew from Takumi's knowledge that not all worlds could give birth to an 'Eternal Throne.' It had to be a world with a complete worldview, and its size had to be capable of sustaining the existence of multiple gods. Only then could the world's 'creation authority,' which governs and acts on behalf of the world, be born.

In the world of Teyvat, there were two 'Eternal Thrones.' Although they were now merged into one, both the 'Tenth Throne' and the 'Second Throne' had the power to exercise the Creation Calendar.

Creating everything in a world and establishing the order for all operations within it.

Istaru excitedly grabbed Takumi's sleeve and shook it. "Master, Master, you came here in person because you sensed the existence of the Eternal Throne, right?! This is the Eternal Throne, Master!"

The master already had two 'Eternal Thrones.' If he obtained another 'Eternal Throne,' the master would become even stronger.

The strength of their Tianli dependents was tied to their master's power—the stronger their master, the stronger they became. Essentially, the dependents shared one-tenth of Tianli's power.

She was now more than three times stronger than when Fanes was in power, meaning her master was three times as strong as Fanes.

But she didn't believe that the master was only three times stronger than Fanes. This didn't include the fact that the master wielded more authority than Fanes.

Takumi patted Istaru on the head. "Don't get too excited. It's just an 'Eternal Throne.'"

"But... with a complete system of gods from this world, the foundation of my Teyvat god system will become even more prosperous. Hahaha."

Takumi laughed loudly and walked towards the 'Eternal Throne.' He opened his arms and threw himself directly into the 'God Plate' woven with rules.

To control the 'Eternal Throne' was simple: one needed to adapt to all the rules of the 'Eternal Throne' and then incorporate these rules into their being to reweave the 'God Disk.'

This 'God Disk' was similar to the 'Original Dharma Ring,' except it came with a 'God Group System.'

This 'God Group System' was quite similar to the 'Human Realm Power System,' but it focused more on managing the god system rather than utilizing the power of human faith and weaving destiny.

In short, it was a political management system akin to that of the gods.

Before the annexation of the 'Inuyasha World,' the 'God Disk' and the 'Original Dharma Ring' couldn't be merged, as they were core rules of two entirely different worlds.

But the 'Human Realm Power System' could merge with the 'God Group System.'

Istaru watched her master as he threw himself into the 'Eternal Throne,' her eyes filled with admiration.

Living with Fanes, starving for nine meals out of ten, wouldn't allow her to grow in a millennium. Living with her new master and eating ten meals in three days—that almost overwhelmed her.

Wow! She could feel the unfamiliar 'authority of creation' assimilating.

'Opening defense barriers to prevent the assimilation of unfamiliar "creation authority."' The system's message echoed.

'Host's pure physical law body detected. Permit the system to take over the host's body for reverse assimilation?'

Takumi agreed without hesitation.

The 'Creation Authority' had a powerful assimilation ability, capable of converting gods who controlled it into agents for the world.

It was akin to deciding whether your will would wield the sword or whether the sword would control your will.

The rules of the 'Inuyasha World' were steadily incorporated into his body from the 'God Disk,' and these rules were rewoven into the God Disk in his consciousness space.

The vast external divine disk grew more ethereal, while the 'divine disk' in his consciousness became increasingly solid.

Colorful divine light radiated from Takumi's body. In the empty 'Takamagahara,' he seemed like Pangu awakening from chaos.

This process seemed long, but in reality, due to the influence of the time authority in the 'God Disk,' even if ten thousand years passed, it was only a second in the outside world.

As Takumi gradually mastered the 'authority of creation,' the 'divine disk' appeared behind him, slowly rotating, with the essence of 'the original' naturally emanating from it.

Through the 'Divine Disk,' he could directly perceive everything within the entire 'Inuyasha' world.

The 'Underworld,' 'Yellow Spring Country,' 'Plane Barrier,' the vast lands, all life living on it, and the scattered fragments of authority left behind by fallen gods.

The moment Takumi sat on the throne of the Heavenly Palace, colorful auroras instantly appeared all over the world—across the earth, mountains, rivers, the sky, the underworld, and the Yellow Spring.

The world rejoiced at the emergence of the 'Eternal Throne.'

All life felt joy in their hearts.

Those who hadn't reached the level of gods had no idea what was happening but still felt inexplicably happy.

At Jilu Castle's Rock King Emperor Temple, Zhongli sensed the sudden changes in the world and couldn't help but look up at the sky, shock filling his eyes.

"How could this world be experiencing something similar to what happened when Teyvat annexed another world? The world is rejoicing! What happened?"

Just as Zhongli was about to investigate, new 'Rules of the Rock' and 'Rules of the Contract' poured into his 'Demon God' form, strengthening his authority as the 'Rock King Emperor.'

Simultaneously, he felt the aura of 'Lord Tianli' in these rules.

Zhongli's calm demeanor faltered. "This is it!"

He clearly sensed the manifestation of the concept called 'Gods.'

It was a 'blueprint' that spread out like a tree diagram, with 'Heavenly Principle' at the center.

The closer one was to the center of this 'blueprint,' the closer they were to the 'natural principle.'

At present, Zhongli was on the second ring of this blueprint, ranking as a 'Lord God.' The first ring belonged to the 'Supreme Gods,' the dependents of the 'Heavenly Principle,' and at the center was the 'Creator.'

Now, this 'blueprint' consisted of five rings.

The third ring after him represented 'Belonging to God,' the fourth ring was 'Obeying God,' and the fifth ring was 'Noragami.'

The Supreme Gods were the direct dependents of Heavenly Law.

The Lord Gods were absolute controllers of more than 70% of one or multiple rules, born from separating parts of the natural law.

The gods had a divine throne and authority, under the jurisdiction of the Lord God who shared the superior rules.

The subordinate gods had divine thrones and divine power but were not granted 'rules'; they only held status and power.

'Noragami' could only be considered wild gods, integrated into the 'group of gods' and believed in by humans, relying on the 'power of faith' to transform into meager divine power.

The 'Sages' in the world of Teyvat and the 'Noragami' in the world of 'Inuyasha' all belonged to the outermost part of the 'Blueprint of the Gods.'

Currently, part of the positions in this blueprint had been filled.

There were only four 'Supreme Gods' in the first ring: 'Time Ruler' Istaru, 'Space Ruler' Asmode, 'Ice Ruler' Esdeath, and 'Lord of the Abyss' E.

The second ring of 'Lord Gods' currently included only the demon gods of Teyvat and the three abyssal demon gods.

Among the gods in the third ring, Raiden Ei's 'Fox Fairy' Yae Miko was currently the only one.

The fourth ring had no Cong Shen as of now.

The fifth ring had many members: the 'Family of the Gods' in Teyvat and the 'Noragami' of the Inuyasha world.

While there appeared to be many, 90% of the thrones in the blueprint were still vacant, including the two supreme gods 'Lord of Heaven' and 'Lord of the Underworld' from Inuyasha's world.

Almost as soon as the 'Blueprint of the Gods' was formed, everyone included in it felt it clearly.

All fell into states of awe, shock, surprise, fanaticism, and admiration.
