"That so-called Great Vow is merely the Buddha's own concept of attaining the Dao. Whether or not a great vow is made to heaven, earth, or all living beings, it is a concept that the Buddha must inevitably practice!"
Since the Path must be practiced anyway, why not make full use of it to add bricks and tiles to one's own path of proving the Dao?
This is the core concept of the Great Vow: Dao Proving Method.
It was never about so-called debt-based ascension.
"Heh... Hehehe..."
He struggled to gather his primal ancestral qi, reshaping his physical form, his face extremely pale.
Now, he finally understood why the Aeons of the Honkai: Star Rail Universe, despite having the chance to Ascend to Godhood and contact the sea of trees multiverse heavenly dao, ultimately failed to achieve complete Cosmic Truth... If one is not strong enough before attempting to Ascend to Godhood, the moment they touch the Multiverse Heavenly Dao is the moment their own will is crushed.
At that time, even if they ascend the divine throne, they would be nothing more than a puppet incarnation of Truth.
"As expected, opportunities are for those who are prepared."
"The harvest is truly too great, far too great!!"
No wonder the sea of trees multiverse heavenly dao only gave Infinite Möbius this one chance.
Just this once—even if the sea of trees multiverse heavenly dao doted on the native Multiverse Truth-level powerhouses—allowing Infinite Möbius to pull off such a major move must have cost it dearly, absolutely consuming a significant portion of its foundations!
Once is enough; another time?
No matter how much it doted on them, the sea of trees multiverse heavenly dao truly couldn't take much more.
The hardest moment had finally passed, and it was time to enter the stage of enjoying the fruits of victory!
Boom!
Within the Sea of Trees Multiverse, a rainbow light lit up simultaneously across immeasurable universes and worlds. All haze dispersed within this rainbow light, illuminating every corner of the infinite multiverse.
Even the world bubbles submerged in the deepest parts of the Sea of Quanta, at this moment, unprecedentedly radiated the brilliance of [Pure Beauty]!
"This is the moment!"
Hermes's eyes shone with a terrifying brightness; he had finally waited for this incredibly precious moment!
"Nine Revolutions Void Refining!"
The moment the Path of Penacony lit up in the multiverse, sparks of wisdom burned fiercely in his mind, transforming the [Pure Beauty] that had just leaped toward heaven into the [Truth] of his own Life Star Path and Star Lord Dao.
At this moment, he would undergo Nine Revolutions Void Refining and attain the Dao as a Multiverse Star Lord!
As the founding ancestor who pioneered the Life Star Path, how could he not practice the path he himself had created?
It was just that he had even more startling ambitions!
For those disciples and descendants in the Star Crown Court, the cultivation path of Nine Revolutions Void Refining to become a Star Lord was merely attaining the Dao within a tiny Digital World—
This wasn't even becoming a Star Lord of the entire Great Universe!
But now, Hermes intended to seize this opportunity to directly attain the Dao as a Multiverse Star Lord, scattering his own path across the entire infinite multiverse.
At this moment, the cosmos trembled slightly, as if some inexplicable change was occurring silently.
In their origins, an extra path, an extra choice, appeared out of thin air!
This was a seed, a seed of the mind.
As long as one questioned the mind, cultivated Pure Beauty, opened their own path, and practiced the Way, they could turn all this cultivation into nourishment, allowing this seed of the mind to grow and become a Star Monarch!
Then, through Nine Revolutions Void Refining, they would attain the Dao as a Star Lord.
Everyone could follow in the footsteps of Hermes, the founding ancestor, and cultivate endlessly.
This was a never-ending cultivation system.
One didn't need to reach the heavens in a single step like Hermes to become a Multiverse Star Lord.
As long as one became the Star Lord of a small realm—even just a tiny world bubble—it would allow their own [Principles] to become the rules of that small realm, using their own Dao to become the Heavenly Dao.
In this situation, this Star Lord could continuously perfect their [Principles] and better develop the [Star] they governed.
During this process, they could constantly reference and align with the rules of the Heavenly Dao, allowing their aptitude, wisdom, and comprehension to undergo a subtle transformation, achieving a stronger foundation and accumulating potential to strike for the next level!
When they could progress no further, they could once again rely on their higher-level talent to undergo Nine Revolutions Void Refining and become a Great Universe Star Lord, making their [Principles] the eternal [Principles] of the Great Universe, transforming themselves once more with a stronger foundational origin... Once they became a Great Universe Star Lord, they could hang their [Destiny Star] high, its brilliance shining upon the multiverse. In the process of colliding with the [Principles] of the endless multiverse, they would possess a sliver of possibility to achieve Cosmic Truth!
Ultimately, they could follow the footsteps of Hermes, the Multiverse Star Lord, chasing that infinitely high path of Multiverse Truth... step by step. One isn't expected to reach heaven in a single bound, but every step is real, holding the possibility of attaining the Dao!
At this moment, [Pure Beauty] completely became a natural law within this multiverse, like the rising sun and setting moon, or the high mountains and flowing water!
"So this is the level of an overlord among Cosmic Truths, touching the boundaries of the multiverse and shaking it with a single strike?"
Hermes looked calmly outside the Sea of Trees Multiverse, sensing something: "Qi Refiners? The Way of Qi Refining?"
"Is this an invitation for me to join?"
The moment the path he pioneered truly became an orthodox Great Dao recognized by a multiverse, and he himself became a Multiverse Dao Ancestor, he heard a call from beyond the endless heavens, from an infinitely vast and magnificent path.
With just one glance, Hermes understood exactly what was happening.
Hermes was well aware of the underlying nature of the Life Star Path he had created; it shared subtle similarities with the Way of Qi Refining prevalent across the heavens.
Or rather, as long as Hermes, the founding ancestor, acknowledged it, then it was a form of the Way of Qi Refining!
It only depended on whether Hermes was willing.
For a moment, Hermes wavered, falling into thought.
"The pros and cons of joining the Way of Qi Refining are quite obvious."
The Life Star Dao Ancestor thought deeply: "Once I join, the Life Star Path will no longer be under my absolute control; at the very least, I'll have to give up a significant share as a joining fee..."
"But as long as I join, the Life Star Path will be equivalent to joining a massive platform, which will bring incalculable benefits to its development!"
Hermes's expression shifted uncertainly. Honestly, as long as he was willing to nod his head, he could spread his lineage through this [Way of Qi] that penetrated the immeasurable void, infinite heavens, and boundless worlds.
In any world where the [Way of Qi] set foot, his [Life Star Path] would have the possibility of spreading its teachings.
But...
