As Athena's words fell, she gently tapped the ground with her star-and-moon staff.
The Pseudo Star Map Creation—Zodiac—instantly unfurled, and the aura of another universe spread throughout Mount Olympus.
The Zodiac represented the paths traced by the sun, moon, and stars across the sky, as observed by humankind. The ancient sages who observed the heavens attributed the movents of celestial bodies to the power of the gods—each star and celestial body a divine incarnation.
Within this Zodiac were included all the Olympian gods—except Chaos.
The celestial sphere that enveloped the world was the Sky God Uranus.
Beneath the celestial sphere lay the Earth, the domain of the Earth Goddess Gaia.
Dayti belonged to Apollo, God of Light.
Eternal night was Nyx, the Goddess of Night.
The shadows beneath the stars were Erebus, the God of Darkness.
The sun was Helios, the Sun God; accompanied by the Goddess of Sunrise and the Goddess of Dawn.
The moon was Artemis.
Jupiter was Zeus…
All the Olympian gods who were not embodints of Chaos resided within the Zodiac.
"Within my Zodiac, the primordial gods—Gaia, Goddess of the Earth; Erebus, God of Darkness; Nyx, Goddess of Night; Tartarus, God of the Underworld—shall inherit the primordial divine seats."
Athena began bestowing the blessings of the Pseudo Star Map Creation.
These powers did not co from nothing—they were authorities derived from an already-born primordial universe and belonged exclusively to the original cosmic frawork.
There were five Primordial Gods within the Zodiac—five original deities representing universe-structural forces.
At this level, a single strike could shatter cosmic structure and destabilize the universe.
In Little Garden, Primordial Gods like these would be top-tier within the 3-Digits—though not yet capable of transcending.
True transcendents among the 3-Digits were the holders of Pseudo Star Map Creations. Once their primordial universe was fully developed, they would formally enter the realm of 2-Digit.
Gaia, Nyx, Erebus, and Tartarus bowed with emotion.
"Great Lady Athena, we Olympians shall surely shine across all worlds under your guidance."
"All worlds" in Teyvat referred to the infinite multitude of worlds.
After all, small universes and supermassive planes were constantly being born.
The main universe was still expanding, and even after hundreds of billions of years of exploration, the frontier might still remain untouched—it could only be slowed, not stopped.
Athena continued.
"First- and second-generation Olympian gods will reach Supre God."
"The twelve major gods of the third generation will also reach Supre God, with other deities ascending in accordance with their mythological origins."
Crack!
The blessing of the Pseudo Star Map Creation descended. The full potential and mythic origins of all Olympian gods were awakened, allowing them to reach the levels their legends prescribed.
The four primordial gods, who had been stuck just short of God-King, broke through instantly and ascended to Supre God.
Their own cosmic Laws and the breath of Truth fused into a unique Supre Authority, and a divine ring representing their Supre rank appeared behind each of them.
A vast cosmic aura spread across the universe, affecting tens of thousands of galaxies under Olympian rule.
"Ah… so this is the Supre God. What a vast and magnificent power!" Gaia, Earth Mother, gently raised her hand, and under her gaze, tens of thousands of galaxies across tens of millions of light-years had their trajectories shifted by the sheer force she had just acquired.
With a single gesture, she could twist, destroy, or create galaxies on a grand cosmic scale.
Compared to this, a God-King was like an ant—she could kill her forr self with a single breath.
Zeus, who had been stuck just before God-King, finally ascended. He now fully embodied his mythic role: God-King Zeus.
Each motion carried the power of galaxies.
As she watched the gods around her break through one after another, Athena herself ascended to beyond Supre God.
"At last, Olympus can now stand shoulder to shoulder with the original Seven Divine Collectives."
Athena then raised her gaze to the highest level of the Supre Divine Domain—toward that tiny Celestia—her brilliant eyes glinting with ambition.
The ultimate in the universe, the convergence of Pan-Human History and Truths—Heavenly Principle's Eden...
If I reach Almighty God, could I step into that realm like those four supre gods?
Only upon obtaining a Pseudo Star Map Creation did one understand—
The hierarchy of gods was not yet complete.
As long as the Teyvat Universe continued to grow, the hierarchy of gods would continue to evolve.
Just as there had been three previous divine rank transformations—
Above the three Supre God tiers—Supre God, Primordial God, and Almighty God—there were still more realms yet to be constructed.
Athena was a goddess of powerful ambition. Only by ascending to the Temple of Truth in Eden—the origin of the Teyvat Universe—could she truly transcend the cosmos.
I have beco a holder of the Pseudo Star Map Creation. One day, I will beco an Almighty God. When will the supre Lord Heavenly Principle once again cast His gaze upon ?
...
In the Palais rmonia, after a refreshing night of clouds and rain, Noah felt a divine sense reach out to him and glanced over with amusent.
This little goddess Athena's ambition is quite strong, huh? Don't worry—I definitely won't forget you.
At this mont, Lumine and Furina had already tidied their clothing and were attentively massaging Noah's legs and shoulders. Noah, calm and composed, sipped his red tea.
Having received the blessing of Heavenly Principle, both Furina and Lumine had advanced significantly in power and refinent. Lumine, originally a Supre God, had now reached Primordial God.
"Lumine, you're quite sothing—so smooth~"
As he spoke, a ping-pong-ball-sized orb of light appeared in Noah's hand, radiating dense aura of Law.
"What Buer said before wasn't wrong. This Heavenly Principle is fair. Even without a Pseudo Star Map Creation, you'll still receive sothing even better."
The room was instantly filled with the presence of Law, making both Lumine and Furina tremble.
Furina stared at the orb in Noah's hand in shock. "This… this is…" That aura—it resembled the presence of those four embodints of Truth, yet it was less intense and not as unfathomable.
"Hiss… this power!" Lumine's entire body trembled as she felt the aura.
Just as Furina had said, this level of power was sothing she had only ever sensed from those four beings.
Suddenly, her pupils widened—she rembered sothing.
"This aura is so similar to that Aeon who once invaded Teyvat! Though, in terms of quality and mystery, it's weaker than those four embodints of Truth!"
Furina also recalled and quickly nodded. "Yes, yes—that's exactly it!"
Back when that being had invaded Teyvat, all of Teyvat's cosmic-level existences had been mobilized to keep it there. Furina had personally witnessed Lord Heavenly Principle stripping away the intruder's origin.
That origin's aura was very similar to Truth—but it was definitely not Truth itself, only sothing akin to it.
"Are… are you going to give this to ?" Lumine's heart pounded wildly as she stared at the glowing orb in Noah's hand, her breath growing rapid.
This was definitely sothing no weaker than a Pseudo Star Map Creation—perhaps even more mysterious.
After all, this was sothing akin to Truth.
Noah idly rolled the orb between his fingers. "This is indeed sothing similar to Truth—a crystallization of philosophy, a tendril of philosophy itself."
"Truth is philosophy itself, and a tendril of Truth is a manifestation of philosophy, a crystallized form of it. These concepts are known across the unfathomable superdinsions as 'Law.'"
"Law is like a piece of the puzzle that makes up Truth."
"If Truth is the sovereign, then Law is its minister—an essential part that assists Truth in harmonizing the entire universe."
"I divide gods into four tiers."
"Those with ultimate authority over faith, divine power, and other high forms of mystical energy are Energy Gods."
"Those with ultimate authority over planetary rules and planar laws are Rule Gods."
"Those with ultimate authority over universal laws and cosmic space-ti are Concept Gods."
"Those with ultimate authority over Truth and Law—these philosophical domains—are Philosophy Gods."
"Each higher tier holds absolute dominion over the tier below it."
"These four tiers correspond to the divine rank system I have set."
"The first three tiers have already been fully defined."
"Almighty God corresponds to the final stage of the third tier."
"I am currently constructing the fourth tier, consisting of 'Master of Law' and 'Master of Truth.'"
"The peak levels of these two positions will be super single-universe level and multiversal level, respectively."
"Truth has already been set. The position of Master of Law, however, remains to be filled."
With that, Noah smiled and extended the orb toward Lumine.
"This crystallization of Law is called Trailblaze."
"To blaze unknown frontiers, to chart the future of the cosmos, to explore the endless beyond the universe itself; so long as the heart's desire to explore never ceases, the path of trailblazing will never end—linking infinite worlds and realms unknown."
"This belongs to the Ouroboros faction."
The small glowing orb was reflected in Lumine's eyes, its light illuminating her cheeks with a radiant sheen. Her hands rose involuntarily, gently touching it.
The instant her fingertips made contact, the Principle of Trailblaze resonated with her, and within monts, transford her very being into a Philosophical Holy Body.
In the Star Rail Universe, the Philosophy Holy Bodies of Aeons often took bizarre and monstrous forms.
Many would beco extre zealots under the influence of their Law.
But in the Teyvat Universe, such a phenonon did not exist.
In Noah's view, if the self was distorted by power, was it still the self?
Thus, in the universal frawork he had established, such inversions would never occur.
Hum—
At that mont—
As the Principle of Trailblaze awakened, its will spread across the entire universe.
This universe referred to the main universe, the Endless Planes, countless space-ti realms, and the primordial universes of every Divine Collective.
As a supre rule that radiated across all dinsions, Law, like Truth, naturally reached across all cosmologies.
On a macro level, a faint, much dimr halo—far weaker than the light of Truth—encircled the Teyvat Universe, shining with the radiance of Law.
Lumine's consciousness was also instantly projected across all places touched by the will of Trailblaze.
Yet it lasted only a mont before withdrawing back into her body.
In that instant, Lumine's own power reached weak single-universe level.
From this point forward, her growth would continue in accordance with her understanding and enactnt of the Principle of Trailblaze.
Once she spread the path of Trailblazing throughout the main universe, she would reach standard single-universe level.
When she extended that path throughout the Abyss Universe's myriad realms and planes, she would beco strong single-universe level.
And if she brought Trailblaze to every primordial universe of the Divine Collectives, she would attain double-digit strong single-universe status.
Even among strong single-universe entities, there were distinctions. Possessing the power of a single-digit universe ant only being an average strong single.
To put it in perspective, a single-digit strong single could obliterate several universes with a single blow.
Yet power was not determined by quantity, but by quality.
No matter how many universes one could destroy, if the quality didn't change, one remained a strong single-universe.
In contrast, a super single-universe level being was defined by their ability to elevate universal rules into Law—thanks to the overwhelming quality of their Truth.
At present, Teyvat's Truth had not reached that level.
But it was only a matter of ti. In fact, all the conditions for a multiversal breakthrough were already present.
Currently, Teyvat was a weak multiversal embryo, awaiting its mont to break free from its cocoon.
The transformation from weak multiverse to standard multiverse would be a true tamorphosis.
For further reference, one could study the structure of the Tree and Sea.
Either through imnse resources or through the slow passage of ti—growth would co.
Outwardly, Lumine appeared unchanged, but as she opened her eyes, a pale moon-colored ring of Law slowly revolved behind her.
"Wah! Noah! You're so good to !"
Smack~ smack~ smack~
Lumine imdiately dove into Noah's arms, planting kiss after kiss across his face.
