Chapter 276

Fanes, notify the main gods to come to the temples for a meeting. In addition, I also want to adjust the structure of the divine system.

As soon as he finished speaking, the space beside him shifted, and Fanes appeared. Her originally dull expression showed joy, and her eyes, which held two temperaments—kindness and coldness—were ignited with fire.

"You have finally started preparing the second phase of the plan. I have been waiting for a long time."

Takumi was speechless. "It has only been a few days, and you've been waiting for a long time? According to ordinary people's time, it's been less than three days."

Fanes shook her head. "For me, even one second feels extremely long."

After saying that, her black eyes instantly turned to gold, and her indifferent aura burst forth, sending out notifications through the 'Blueprint of the Gods.'

In her opinion, only the 'Main Gods' could participate in shaping the future of the world, and it must be a demon god who controlled more than 70% of the rules of the world. Were the other demon gods "qualified"? If Takumi hadn't handed out the task, she would have given the order directly: if completed, they would live; if they couldn't, they would be replaced. She didn't want a demon god who couldn't complete the task and had no value.

The 'Main God Chat Group,' where the conversation had been lively, suddenly turned cold, as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over everyone's heads.

Zhongli's hand, which was pouring tea for himself, shook, and the tea spilled out of the teacup.

"Oh? Guest Zhongli, what's wrong with you? Your rare fairy tea has actually spilled onto the table?"

Hu Tao seemed to have discovered a new world, her eyes widening.

She knew very well that Zhongli was extremely meticulous in everything he did, even something as simple as drinking tea. She had never seen Zhongli make a mistake in such matters.

This was truly an eye-opener.

It turns out that Zhongli could make mistakes sometimes.

"Is it possible that Zhongli, you've always been pretending to be an old man, but now you're really in trouble?"

Zhongli came back to his senses, looked at Hu Tao's surprised expression, and sighed. "It is inevitable that people will make mistakes. Hall Master Hu should not be so amused."

"By the way, I remembered that last time Hall Master Hu mentioned a painting book to promote the underworld. I think there is still room for improvement, so I'll help Hall Master Hu polish it again."

After saying that, he stood up.

Hu Tao's eyes lit up. "Oh~ This is such a good relationship. Zhongli actually taking the initiative—I'll leave it to you."

Zhongli nodded and walked towards the door with his hands behind his back.

"Hey! Wait, Zhongli, where are you going? Isn't the painting book inside the house?"

"Oh, I'm going to buy some new supplies. I heard there's a brand-new Wenmo in the market."

"Oh, that's how it is."

"Well, that's right."

"Then go early and come back early."

As soon as he left the Hall of Rebirth, Zhongli disappeared.

**Underworld**

At this time, the underworld had gained a dozen new third-level gods from the world of Inuyasha. They no longer needed the constant supervision and correction of Maricata, the acting Hades. Except for the final review of reincarnation, all other work was delegated to the third-level gods.

The person in charge was the future 'Lord of the Moon,' Ling Yue Fairy, appointed by Takumi.

She had only recently become a god and was still far from becoming the Moon Goddess.

Maricata summoned the third-level gods under her command.

"In the upcoming period, the Salt God and I will go to 'Sky Island' to attend the Lord God's Council. You must maintain order."

"Although the underworld is the best place to earn points of merit, the rewards are great, and the punishment for making mistakes is equally severe.

"Ling Yue Fairy, your divine power has the effect of protecting the souls of the dead. During this period, I will allow you to temporarily supervise the order."

Maricata looked at Ling Yue Fairy. She could sense that Ling Yue Fairy carried the aura of Lord Tianli and was a god favored by Heavenly Law, so she took extra care of her in the underworld.

Ling Yue Fairy gracefully saluted. "Yes, Lord Maricata."

Maricata nodded and slowly disappeared, along with the Salt God, Heulia.

As more worlds joined the small universe of Teyvat, Heulia's strength, which was closely tied to the prosperity of human civilization, also experienced significant growth.

Although she had not yet reached the level of the Seven Archons, she was now just one step below the gods.

**Sky Island**

At this time, Sky Island had completely transformed into a special meeting place.

As the world of Teyvat continued to grow stronger, the temples were also constantly improving. The current magnificence of the temples had reached the limits of human imagination.

Even the gate into the temple was thousands of meters long, with a white background and golden patterns—sacred, holy, and majestic.

The main gods stepped onto the steps one by one and headed towards the door.

The door opened slowly, as if there was another world behind it.

This second meeting was different from the first. All the gods walking up the steps were sweating profusely, and some were even trembling with fear.

The voice of the former Tianli, now the Divine Judgment Seat, echoed in their ears, cold and solemn.

Even Venti, who had nearly drunk himself to death, suddenly sobered up.

Venti quickly used his wind power to blow away the smell of alcohol from his body.

He didn't greet his colleagues as they approached.

Joking aside, that entity valued order above all else. If he dared act shamelessly under her watch, he might very well find himself in a serious predicament in the next moment.

But he still waved and greeted those who came.

Zhongli nodded, and the other gods silently acknowledged each other's presence.

"Gulp..."

Queen Barnabas of Snezhnaya swallowed nervously. As the Ice God, she already felt cold all over.

If she had earned some merit, she would feel confident, but she had none.

Although Lord Tianli had forgiven her past transgressions, that was only Lord Tianli. She had indeed rebelled against Fanes.

Now, she had to face the real master, and fear filled her eyes.

Furina wiped a drop of cold sweat from her forehead.

She had earned great merit now, and she hoped it would outweigh her past sins in front of Fanes.

All the Main Gods knew very well that even if the current Heavenly Law did not care about their original sins, it was impossible for the true master, Fanes, to overlook them.

Even if he didn't kill them, he would certainly make them suffer.

Lumine looked around. "Oh~ I can actually participate too?"

This is 'Sky Island'? It's completely different from the place I was taken five hundred years ago.

I understand now—that place five hundred years ago wasn't Sky Island at all. This is the real Sky Island.

Aether, his expression calm, said, "You're already at the level of a Main God, even if you haven't taken the throne yourself. According to the divine covenant, you have to attend."

"By the way, don't say anything unnecessary during the meeting."

Lumine rolled her eyes. She knew exactly how to act in any given situation.

Asmodeus stood in front of the gate, looking at the gods arriving one after another with her golden eyes.

"Everyone who needs to be here has arrived. Follow me—the second meeting of the gods begins."
