In this world, there is naturally no such thing as a free lunch.
Since He was able to obtain such massive benefits, the price He had to pay would naturally not be small.
Absolute control over the [Path of Destiny Stars] was naturally gone.
This was still a small matter.
As long as He, the founding patriarch of the Path, still existed, there was naturally no need to worry about problems arising with this Path.
But the key was that those mighty beings who traversed the boundless heavens might smuggle themselves in through His [Path of Destiny Stars]. After a series of operations like substituting the beams for pillars or switching a dragon for a phoenix, it was truly possible to deceive the sea of trees multiverse heavenly dao and obtain a household registration for themselves... by then.
Hermes's [Path of Destiny Stars] might become a breakthrough point for mighty beings from outside the realm to conquer this world... Not every multiverse realm is called Little Garden.
Little Garden can lie flat and is known as the playground of Asura, Gods, and Buddhas, but that doesn't mean other multiverse realms are willing to open their doors. At the very least, Hermes is unwilling to have mighty beings from other realms come to his home base to stir up trouble.
Once He steps back into the level of Cosmic Truth in the future, relying on the degree of doting from the sea of trees multiverse heavenly dao, He could logically and completely integrate the multiverse realm, transforming His home base into his ideal form and fulfilling His great wish—
Under these circumstances, He would have to be out of His mind to let other mighty beings run over and act as troublemakers.
Hermes would not be so arrogant as to think he was already invincible in the infinite and boundless multiverse. In the heavens and myriad worlds, mighty beings are countless and strong people emerge in succession. If He truly gave this opportunity, it was absolutely not impossible for someone to steal the prize.
"Forget it, let's put these matters aside for now."
Hermes slowly closed his eyes, and that power sufficient to shake the multiverse began to boil. He was about to begin the final step of this road to Ascend to Godhood.
At this moment, he merged with the entire multiverse, silently watching the immeasurable light, immeasurable worlds, and immeasurable people. Everything proliferated, lived, and died under his gaze.
The time has come. Now, [Pure Beauty] needs to obtain a [Status] in this multiverse that matches its own power.
Hermes spread his hands, as if to take everything into his embrace, and the laws of the entire multiverse began to resonate.
The imaginary tree and the Sea of Quanta manifested their phantoms simultaneously, beginning to resonate with him.
Boom!
An incomparably magnificent [Path] soared into the sky from within Hermes's body.
That was the manifestation of Pure Beauty. In its continuous sublimation, it slowly blurred, and finally completely merged into this multiverse, no longer distinguishable from it.
From then on, [Pure Beauty] completely transcended the concept of a Path and became the third pillar standing alongside the dualities of the [imaginary tree] and the [Sea of Quanta] in this multiverse!
From then on, this multiverse world changed from a structure of two powers standing side-by-side to a rotation of three powers.
"Although in terms of volume, it's not yet enough to be mentioned in the same breath as the imaginary tree and the Sea of Quanta, but once the Status is there, is there any need to fear issues with volume?"
The corners of Hermes's mouth curled up. This was the world-apart treatment brought about by the different levels and worldviews of the home worlds of different mighty beings.
Compared to multiverse realms like the Primordial World, Little Garden, and the type-moon, the sea of trees multiverse heavenly dao's treatment of local mighty beings was truly too good, as if it were afraid its precious son would go hungry.
"Most of the Aeons in the Honkai: Star Rail Universe were merely transcendent in will before they Ascended to Godhood, but how strong could their own power be?"
"That is naturally nonsense!"
The foundation before Ascending to Godhood, to a large extent, determines the benefits an Aeon can obtain during the process of Ascending to Godhood.
For example, Nihility · IX. Many people in the Honkai: Star Rail Universe believe that this is simply a black hole gained sentience, or a great god born along with the great universe, who then Ascended to Godhood by chance.
Another example is Permanence · Long, the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Dragons. It is very likely that he was one of the oldest living beings after the creation of the world. Even before Ascending to Godhood, his power level was definitely beyond anyone's imagination.
And then there is Elation · Aha. This is also a great existence underestimated by many. Under that appearance of looking for fun all day long, His inner depth is such that even Hermes finds it hard to look down on Him. Before Ascending to Godhood, He was definitely a super ruthless character!
These three were all super powerhouses before Ascending to Godhood, and after Ascending to Godhood, they are also outstanding among the Aeons!
And Hermes... before he Ascended to Godhood, he was an outstanding figure among the mighty beings of the heavens at the level of Cosmic Truth. And once he Ascends to Godhood?
He would be the third pillar of the entire Sea of Trees Multiverse. Theoretically speaking, His Status exists on the same level as the imaginary tree and the Sea of Quanta!
They are all great existences that have touched the level of the multiverse heavenly dao, or rather, have already stepped one foot into this level!
Perhaps... it could be called—weak multiverse!
Exceeding the level of Cosmic Truth and the overlord level within Cosmic Truth, but not yet truly wielding the level of multiverse truth.
And if Hermes had been born in another world, even in the boundless multiverse of Little Garden, would He be able to eat his fill in one go, or even eat until he was stuffed?
It would naturally be absolutely impossible!
This is the impact brought about by the difference in worldviews.
For instance, in the Primordial World, that ghost of a place, let alone such doting, being able to freely prove your dao is something that would make those mighty beings of the Primordial World envious.
For a mighty being capable of proving the dao of Cosmic Truth, the level and worldview of His home world are truly too important!
With a single thought, as [Pure Beauty] merged into the multiverse, the vast and majestic will continuously sublimated on its original basis, beginning to truly occupy a share of the authority of the multiverse heavenly dao.
And in this process, every wisp of matter, every wisp of energy, and even every wisp of law produced by the entire multiverse world began to be tinted with Hermes's color.
In this profound state, within Hermes's eyes, a multiverse time flood with no beginning and no end began to appear. This was precisely the manifestation of the entire multiverse's concept of time.
After occupying the authority of the multiverse heavenly dao, he finally possessed the ability to modify and adjust within this multiverse.
"So that's how it is..."
As one of the three parallel pillars of the Sea of Trees Multiverse.
The imaginary tree represents existence, Order, certainty, and evolution. It is a giant tree of infinite dimensions and infinite branches. Each of its leaves is a world/universe in gestation or already in existence, and the patterns of its trunk and branches are the manifestation of Paths.
The Sea of Quanta represents nothingness, chaos, uncertainty, and annihilation. It is the endless black ocean beneath the tree, composed of pure probability clouds and Quantum shadows, filled with unrealized possibilities and the remains of destroyed worlds.
So, as the current third pillar of the multiverse, what does Hermes's [Pure Beauty] represent?
The answer is—
"It is the origin of all concepts of mind, soul, and spirit; the first cause of the birth and evolution of intelligent life; the hub that integrates the multiverse and guides all phenomena; the lighthouse that guides all spirits of the heavens to step forward; and also..."
"The one who bestows a glimmer of hope to all things and all phenomena—Pure Beauty!"
Hermes began to realize his current [Status] in this multiverse, murmuring softly: "According to the narrative of the Primordial World's epics, the imaginary tree symbolizes the Heavenly Dao, the Sea of Quanta is linked to the Earthly Dao, so my Pure Beauty is the so-called Human Dao?"
As one of the pillars of the current multiverse, Hermes naturally mastered many incredible abilities.
Even Hermes, after sensing the things he now controlled, could not help but suck in a breath of cold air.
The multiverse heavenly dao was actually willing to give him these authorities?
This doting was simply a bit excessive!
