Three days later, after Himeko had assimilated Hermes' teachings, she naturally became a high-tier Destiny Walker.
Coupled with the items Hermes had prepared for her, she possessed the ability to protect herself as long as she didn't encounter an Envoy.
And even if she were truly unlucky enough to encounter an Envoy, holding out for a while would be enough time for him to arrive and rescue her.
This was sufficient for the nascent Astral Express to navigate its most vulnerable beginner phase.
"Hermes, are you really not going to re-Trailblaze the stars with us?"
On the eve of departure, Himeko's eyes sparkled with a hint of anticipation as she extended her final invitation.
"That's right, Hermes, isn't exploring the stars the very reason you left your homeland?"
Pom-Pom also felt a bit reluctant; he didn't know many people in this era anymore.
Besides the man in front of him, there was probably only the first Envoy of Trailblaze.
Hermes' heart stirred slightly, but he ultimately shook his head, having now forged his own Path.
It was indeed no longer suitable for him to join the train.
Soon, the train, radiating a dazzling light, soared into the sky, then fearlessly ventured into the cosmic expanse.
Watching the Astral Express disappear in an instant, and feeling the long-dormant Trailblaze Path slowly become active again, Hermes finally broke into a joyful smile...
Female protagonist in crossover anime: "@Hermes, have you still not found Amphoreus?"
The Trailblaze of Wisdom: "I have to say, Laigusi really has some tricks up his sleeve. Every time I'm about to find it, it always gets interfered with. In a Xianxia world, that would be having maxed out 'heavenly secret concealment' skills."
Piloting his spaceship, he arrived in an unfamiliar star system, surveyed it again, and finally couldn't help but sigh, ultimately having to temporarily declare defeat.
"Hmph! Laigusi, you'd best continue to hide and not let me find you, otherwise, hmph hmph hmph!"
With a cold snort, Hermes finally shifted his target and gave up...
A long time later, in the same star system, a phantom projection appeared, finally letting out a sigh of relief.
"How did #84th find this place?"
Laigusi frowned, then turned back to add hundreds more layers of concealment and obfuscation to Amphoreus, to avoid being caught.
"The experiment has entered its late stage; nothing can go wrong at this critical juncture..."
Laigusi's low voice dissipated into the starry sky...
Female protagonist in crossover anime: "It's a pity, in the end, I still couldn't catch that old schemer Laigusi."
When she played this game back then, she found Laigusi particularly annoying. Killing someone was just a nod away, yet he actually made Amphoreus reincarnate over thirty million times?
Is that something a human could do?
Although Laigusi seemed to always play the role of an observer, constrained by the Scepter System... who knows the truth of the matter?
Lumine: "If Laigusi escaped, wouldn't Hermes' Amphoreus-Digital World-Super Digital Computer plan be ruined?"
Indeed, Hermes had his reasons for seeking Amphoreus.
As a unique world surrounded by a Path and derived from the Emperor's Scepter, Amphoreus had a very special structure.
Originally, he planned to take over this world, and after researching the underlying logic of Digital Power, directly digitize Amphoreus, turning it into a Digital World.
During this process, Hermes could take the opportunity to construct the logical laws of Amphoreus, transforming it into a unique Super Digital Computer.
If the plan succeeded, Amphoreus could at least evolve three or more Ultra-Ultimate Digimon and a hundred or more Ultimate Digimon, a true leap to success.
After all, the data accumulated from Amphoreus' thirty million reincarnations was no joke!
At that time, even if he declared war on the IPC, he was confident he could end the war in a short time!
What a pity...
The Trailblaze of Wisdom: "It doesn't matter. The monk may run, but the temple can't. When the Astral Express lands, he won't be able to hide from me."
Cynthia: "Speaking of which, Hermes, if you're building your own supercomputer, do you need me to provide a few Metagross for your reference?"
Cynthia: "You know, every Metagross here can serve as a supercomputer!"
Cynthia looked at her grandmother, who kept tugging at her, and finally spoke in the group with a helpless sigh.
"Is this good enough, Grandma?"
"Cynthia, it's not that Grandma is forcing you, but since you've joined the Chat Group, you naturally need to seek progress to avoid being left behind in this group."
Professor Carolina's eyes showed no signs of aged turbidity, but sparkled with a glimmer of wisdom.
Old people are often wise, and Professor Carolina is, moreover, a Pokémon professor whose intelligence ranks among the top of all people combined in the entire Pokémon world!
Once she learned of Cynthia's opportunity, she immediately made her change her previous complacent attitude in the group.
In a power spanning countless worlds, not progressing is equivalent to regressing!
Fortunately, this power is still in its nascent stages, but once Cynthia is marginalized, it will be difficult for her to rise again!
And now, for Cynthia to progress, the best choice is naturally to establish a good relationship with the most influential figure in the Chat Group.
"Alright, alright, I know, Grandma, I'll work hard!"
Cynthia's face showed a confident smile.
As the Sinnoh Valkyrie, a Champion who governs a region, she naturally never lacked ability!
...The Trailblaze of Wisdom: "Metagross, huh? Seems interesting. I heard Metagross have four brains, and when linked together, they can compute faster than a supercomputer?"
Hermes' interest was immediately piqued upon hearing this. It seemed somewhat similar to Ruan Mei's Animated Planet - Star Soul Supercomputer, yet also held some unique mysteries...
Thus, with both parties interested, an agreement was quickly reached.
While Hermes and Cynthia were busy, the others weren't idle either.
For example, the Admin Lumine found ways to capture many strange evil spirits and sent them to Froese, attempting to process these things further.
Like, evil spirit cuisine?
Furthermore, Dragon and Ning Qingyu also made some transactions.
The powerful Sea Kings from the One Piece world, and various unique techniques from Ning Qingyu's world.
Don't assume that the martial arts world's power level is far inferior to that of the One Piece world.
Things can't be calculated that way.
Knowledge, when transferred to a different world and environment, can also shine brightly.
After all, you can't simply say that the rough cultivation methods of the One Piece world are superior to the martial arts theories of the martial arts world, can you?
...A month later, Hermes appeared in a rather unique world.
Like the Solar System and Amphoreus, this world was also isolated from the Paths.
Blue Star.
To find such an extremely rare world, Hermes had also expended considerable effort, and with the blessing of the Envoy's authority, he finally pinpointed it.
