Becoming the heavenly principle in teyvat

After the shades said that the throne room fell into a brief silence that was broken by the voice of the system.

{Host would you like to view the system features now or later?}

'Now? I'm a little busy, as you can see'

{That is not a problem, not for this new 'us'}

'What do you mean by that?' I asked confused

{It would be easier if I showed you, permission to use your authority temporarily?}

The system hadn't fooled him even once since they met, so he decided to trust it once more 'sure' he answered in his mind

{Using 1/4 of the host's authority over the world of 'Teyvat'}

And suddenly, the world stopped, he could feel it, the system has used the authority of time to stop time in all of Teyvat, of course he knows that this is something that consumes a lot of energy, both from the world and from the Heavenly Principle but while time is stopped, they could talk calmly.

With a surprised and amused face I said

"I think I'm more powerfull than I realized"

{That statement is true host, while the shades are multi-continental at best we are planetary level, our authority far exceeds theirs and your potential with me by your side is almost infinite}

"That's another thing, what are your features exactly?" I asked intrigued

{The 'Heavenly Principle' system is very simple, It consists of an 'inventory', the ability to 'annex' worlds, and a feature that allows you to better manage the gods of Teyvat, much like the system of a pantheon in your home world and, of course, the system will help you in the most complex annexation processes and assist you in large-scale battles}

"That's good, that means that we could make Teyvat the strongest?" I asked with my excitement shining in my voice and barely contained.

{That's right host, if we annex enough worlds that is}

And that got me thinking, my current strenght is planetary level and in the 'Imaginary Tree' there are many universes with beings that far surpass that, like the aeons of hsr or herrscher from HI3rd, etc...

So, we have to start with small worlds, and I can't do it just with the shades.

And with that train of thought came the excitement back, after all...

"It's time to call the seven" I said with a smile on my face.

When the MC took the heavenly principle's power, Natlan

In a normal room in Natlan, a young woman can be seen sleeping soundly and...snorting.

Yes...this was the hero who saved 5 nations, but that's not what's important, but the little ¿flying fairy? who was looking out the only window in the room and seemed lost in thought.

snort, snort

"Hmm...?" Lumine woke up with a start and turned, still almost asleep, towards the window.

"...Paimon? what are you doing still up?..." Lumine asked to the flying fairy who we now know is called Paimon and was the girl's companion in his adventures.

Her companion's voice brought her out of her trance and she was quick to respond

"Paimon doesn't know for sure either, only that Paimon felt a chill in her sleep and couldn't fall asleep again" she said not being sure either

"Why don't you try sleeping next to me?" Lumine asked, still a little sleepy

"Yes, Paimon thinks she'll try since Paimon wants to sleep" she said and got into bed next to Lumine, who soon fell asleep again but Paimon endured a little more, thinking about the feeling that woke her up earlier, it was a feeling like she wasn't where she should be, however, she couldn't pursue that line of thinking much longer before sleep won her over.

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Celestia, present time

After saying that I continued talking to the system for a while about its functions and my future plans, I also looked at my 'inventory' I noticed that Phanes's soul was in there so I asked the system' about it.

His response?

{The system, too, is more powerfull than you think may think, host}

Confused and intrigued at the same time I asked him "Come to think of it, where did you come from, system? With all this about turning into, well, God, I had almost forgotten to ask"

{The system was created long ago, in the beginnings of what mortals would call 'the multiverse' by one of the gods that existed at that time, a true god, not like those that exist in this world. But like all beings who sooner or later meet their end, that god was no exception, but before dying he saw a glimpse into the future...and what he saw destroyed him in more ways than one, he saw beings who called themselves 'gods' who barely had 1/3 of his strength and he considered them arrogant, so with his life he created me, 'the system', my mission was to find someone who could become a 'true god' and help him on the way, that's why I joined you, host}

"Whoa, I know that should have resolved all my doubts, but the truth is that it only gave me more..." I said with a thinking face

"For example, if this 'god' you're talking about was so strong ¿how did he die?"

{You don't have to fight another being to die, the god I'm talking about got bored and took his own life}

Oh

with a regretful face I said "I'm sorry about that"

{There's no reason to apologize host, that god died before time had a name and the only connection between him and me is the purpose that was entrusted to me, so now that I've found you all I want is to help you}

"Oh(2x), that's good...I guess?" I said, not knowing exactly how to react to those words

"Another question!, ¿why did you chose me?"

{I didn't 'choose' you, I 'found' you, it's true that I had to find someone to join me, but you and I were destined to be together, it took me so long because your soul was lost in in a void between dimensions}

"We were 'destined'?" I asked, confused

{Yes, your soul called to me and I knew that you were the right one...and if you hadn't been your soul wouldn't have survived the process of bonding with me}

My mouth involuntarily opened in surprise at that, the only reason The reason I'm not angry is because in my current state it's very difficult for me to be 'afraid'

"That's good to know..." I said with a bit of sarcasm

{It is?}

"..." I didn't dignify that with a respons

"But why genshin? And why the system was originally the 'archon' system?" I asked, because that was something that interested me

{I looked at your memories and saw that you liked this world so I did you the favor, and about the system before evolving, that was because it is what interested you the most, deep down you always wanted to be so strong like the 'archons' of this world, that's why I modified the system, but in the end it wasn't necessary since, luckily, we were transported to that room and I was able to evolve, which saved us from having to steal that power later}

"Ah, thanks for that, I guess" I said before saying

"Can you resume time as it was, system?" I asked, still processing the fact that he could have died permanently

{As you wish, host}

Using my authority the system made time follow its original course.

Ronova and Rhinedottir/Naberius didn't notice anything unusual in their 'master', for them he had simply stayed thinking for a few seconds, but Istaroth being 'the shade of time' noticed how time stopped and instantly understood.

His new master was really powerfull, she already knew he was strong, but she didn't believe he was that strong, even Phanes wasn't able to freeze her in time.

This only reaffirmed to her the fact that she made a good decision in letting him take the power of the heavenly principle 'with him in power maybe Teyvat will change for the better' she thought

After sitting up straighter he began to speak again "I'm going to call to Celestia 3 of the 7 archons, more specifically Barbatos, Morax and Beelzebul" Even though he told them that he wasn't asking for permission and they knew it

"As you wish, my lord, but can we ask ¿why?" Istaroth said looking calm but Elohim noticed that she seemed more...excited? 'well, whatever' he thought

"Ah, I guess I have to tell you about my plans first, I almost forgot, it happens to me a lot lately..." I said thinking about my bad memory 'I guess changing so abruptly has left me with temporary after-effects, well you lose some and gain some'

"Have you already decided how to solve some of the problems that plague this world, my lord?" Naberius appeared and said and the truth is that her skepticism was reasonable, Phanes almost died fixing the problems of Teyvat and she didn't do a very good job either, but he wouldn't have that problem since he has the 'system'.

"That's right Naberius, but I guess it will be faster if I show it to you, my 'annexation plan'" he said with a smile and they were confused on the name of the 'plan' and the part about 'showing them'

"What do yo-" Ronova started, but she couldn't finish that sentence because Elohim just entered their minds and showed them a 'vision' and along with it his 'plan'

•••••••••••••••••••••••••

Within the vision

A planet from a sector of a distant universe can be observed, the planet seemed calm, its civilization was advanced almost to the level of the Earth.

But all that calm wouldn't last long, as below the planet appeared a... golden portal? that began to transport the planet to Teyvat space and part of its resources were absorbed by it, making it stronger, better.

And the the vision ended
