Kamisato Ayaka was at a loss now.
Although she had known Lord Takumi before, she had only thought of him as the god of Sky Island, never imagining that he was actually the manifestation of 'Heavenly Law.'
As one of the first participants in the World Swallowing Plan, she understood how great the Heavenly Law truly was.
It aimed to transform the world of Teyvat into the creator of a 'universe.'
Before she had been involved in these matters, she only knew that the 'Heavenly Law' was supreme, but didn't have much understanding of it. Now, she had glimpsed just a little, and it was far beyond her imagination.
Recently, when communicating with 'god candidates' from other worlds, she became even more aware of the true extent of 'greatness.'
Takumi looked at the flustered Kamisato Ayaka and smiled. "You smiled at me when you first saw me. What's wrong now? Has the egret forgotten how to smile?"
Kamisato Ayaka snapped out of her daze upon hearing his gentle voice and quickly, gracefully saluted. "Lord Tenri." Her pure and serene temperament, much like a lone egret, had only deepened since becoming a 'god candidate.'
Takumi's golden eyes looked calmly at Kamisato Ayaka. "No need to be so formal. Respect should come from the heart. The two sisters who became your friends have now become gods. You should also congratulate me."
Kamisato Ayaka nervously clasped her hands in front of her abdomen.
Since joining the 'World Swallowing Project,' she had gained many more friends, even if they were friends she met through the 'Gods Blueprint' and had never met in person.
However, in that space, everyone's identity was equal.
They had many shared interests, opening a new door in her life.
Upon learning that Butterfly Kanae and Butterfly Shinobu had arrived in the 'main world,' she was too excited to sleep.
However, as a 'candidate god,' she wasn't allowed to welcome them until she fully ascended to godhood.
This had left her feeling disappointed since the Butterfly Sisters were her first true friends.
Kamisato Ayaka bowed her head respectfully. "Yes, Lord Tenri."
Takumi's lips curved slightly. "Ayaka, I look forward to your ascension."
Kamisato Ayaka slowly raised her head to look at the face of Lord Tenri, her heart pounding as she heard his gentle words.
Lord Tenri... He was so handsome. If only my future husband were like this... Oh no!
What am I thinking!
Kamisato Ayaka blushed instantly and quickly pushed the absurd thoughts out of her mind.
How could I blaspheme against Lord Tenri? I, I really shouldn't.
Nahida blinked as she watched Kamisato Ayaka grow visibly nervous. Though curious, she was not surprised.
Today's 'Heavenly Law' was a combination of all the beauty in the Teyvat universe. Human women would naturally seek strong and handsome partners when considering reproduction.
Thus, the 'perfect' Lord Tenri was the most attractive existence for all women in the universe.
Paimon's nose twitched as drool unknowingly slipped from the corner of her mouth. She could already smell the aroma of food coming from Narukami Taisha Shrine. Gasping, she urged, "Master, let's hurry! Otherwise, Raiden and the others will get impatient."
Takumi folded his arms, looking speechless. "I think you're the impatient one. Even though you've regained your original form, you're still such a glutton. Your nature really hasn't changed with your body size."
Paimon instantly puffed up her cheeks. "I-I'm not a glutton..." she stammered, eyes darting around before adding confidently, "I'm tasting it for Master!"
Kamisato Ayaka suppressed her laughter, her body trembling slightly.
I can't laugh. I can't laugh.
This 'Paimon' is the same 'Supreme God' as Lord Istaru; I must never be disrespectful.
"You glutton," Takumi sighed, rolling his eyes. He extended a hand to Nahida, who quickly took it.
"Let's go, Ayaka, and meet your friends."
Though Kamisato Ayaka was thrilled, she maintained her composure, bowing with poise. "Yes, Lord Tenri."
At the same time, Takumi also informed Alice, who was bringing Klee to fry fish.
Alice, always causing mischief across Teyvat...
How long had it been? Alice had blown up a section of the canyon between Wuwang Hill, effectively splitting it into two parts.
She had argued it was to facilitate travel between the canyon's two sides.
But... there were already suspension bridges linking both sides.
This had rendered the farmers' hard work on both sides of the river useless.
Not only that, but it had also made it impossible to build roads where her bombs had destroyed the area.
After notifying her, Takumi could hear the yelling from Yashiori Island in Inazuma.
At Narukami Taisha Shrine, a long stone table was set under the sacred cherry tree, laden with dozens of dishes.
The food made by the gods themselves was far superior to that prepared by ordinary people. Divine power was involved in its creation.
Anyone who took a bite of such food would be cured of all ailments and even gain elemental powers.
The aroma of the dishes wafted down from Narukami Taisha Shrine to the base of the mountain.
The shrine maidens inhaled deeply, their mouths watering at the scent.
"Oh my gosh, the food made by the gods smells so good..."
"Yes, but Lady Ei's..."
"Shhhh... What are you talking about? The General's food is delicious..." a shrine maiden said, her voice trembling.
They would never forget when the General had rewarded them with her cooking.
Alice and Klee returned from the sacred cherry tree and headed straight for the stone table.
By now, Takumi was already seated at the main seat, with Raiden Ei by his side, adding food to his plate.
Nahida looked at the mostly meat dishes on the table, hesitating before putting her knife and fork down. She was a vegetarian.
Paimon had no hesitation at all; she was devouring the food like a hungry ghost, her face resembling that of a squirrel. "It's delicious, it's delicious, it's so good!"
Kamisato Ayaka and the Butterfly Sisters stood to the side, exchanging friendly glances.
After all, even if they were asked to serve, they wouldn't dare.
Everyone at the dinner table was either a Supreme God or a Lord God, not to mention Takumi, the Heavenly One.
Klee ran in from the shrine corridor with a red backpack on her back. When she saw Takumi, she quickly ran over.
"Daddy!"
"Wow, Mommy! It smells so good! I've never smelled anything so delicious before!"
Alice's eyes widened. "Why does it smell so good? Is this some kind of legendary enchanted food?"
Takumi hugged Klee, letting her sit on his lap, looking at Alice with a teasing smile.
"You're full of energy, but let me tell you this—if you eat this meal, I'll make sure you won't forget it after the banquet."
Alice smirked, her eyes gleaming. "Try me."
