Oh!!
Isn't this the trope from some popular novels in my previous life?
The protagonist gets a golden finger, by chance gains control of a world, and then continuously annexes worlds, upgrades worlds, and finally upgrades the world under the protagonist's control into the supreme world of infinite heavens?
Female protagonist in crossover anime: "Good heavens, as expected of a member of the Genius Society, she really knows how to stir things up! Even if she missed the Amphoreus, she can still make something big out of it!"
Li Hanyi: "Although I don't quite understand it, being able to control the Heavenly Dao certainly feels very impressive."
Female protagonist in crossover anime: "I can only say, the level of absurdity is beyond your imagination. You think Hermes only became a controller of the Heavenly Dao? But in reality, this is just the beginning!"
A mere planet, for a member of the Genius Society, even if they play around with it, it's just a small matter.
And for Hermes to invest so much effort, it just serves to highlight the things contained within...
Li Hanyi: "@The Trailblaze of Wisdom, thank you for the information, I have confirmed it, it should all be accurate and error-free!"
Li Hanyi: "Otherwise, I'm afraid Zhao Yuzhen and I would really have been trapped by fate!"
Li Hanyi: "If you have any needs, anything I can do, please feel free to ask."
Li Hanyi sat silently atop Cangshan, her expression complex as she gazed at the horizon, the obscure sword intent on her beloved sword—Iron Horse Ice River—constantly shifting.
Finally.
A vast, self-reliant sword intent finally coalesced.
The experience of almost being stripped of her knowledge by destiny and becoming a pawn in the whirlpool of fate filled Li Hanyi with immense unease.
If her skills were inferior and she fell to an opponent's sword, Li Hanyi would have nothing to say and would harbor no resentment.
Because that was the romance of a swordsman.
But she absolutely could not accept becoming a puppet, manipulated by others without her knowledge or awareness!
Heavenly Dao and Heavenly Mandate, at this moment, a great sense of dread arose in Li Hanyi's heart!
Li Hanyi therefore sat silently atop Cangshan, cutting off all external disturbances, and entered a state of secluded cultivation.
Finally.
She comprehended this self-reliant sword dao.
The word 'I' refers to the self!
Self-reliant, not meaning one must suppress the world with their sword and dominate, but rather to know oneself, control oneself, and believe that only oneself can control oneself.
This is self-reliance!
Mount Hua Sect Leader: "Speaking of which, it seems the memory copy of the Li Hanyi's world hasn't been shared yet."
Mount Hua Sect Leader: "I'm very curious, just how mysterious is the martial arts of the Li Hanyi's world? What is its combat power like?"
Seeing the topic in the Chat Group veer towards the Li Hanyi, Ning Qingyu finally couldn't help but ask.
If it weren't absolutely necessary, he wouldn't want to abandon the path of martial arts.
The imprint of martial arts was deeply ingrained in his bones; this was the path that the entire Huashan Sect, and even Ning Qingyu himself, had adhered to for a lifetime.
Once abandoned, it would almost be equivalent to abandoning oneself, and his cultivation would likely shatter.
But he himself wasn't an unparalleled grandmaster who could pioneer a new path...
Ning Qingyu could only place his hopes on the Li Hanyi, expecting this to be a genuine high-martial world.
Female protagonist in crossover anime: "As for combat power... I can only say it should exceed the limits of a mid-martial world, but whether it can touch the critical point of a high-martial world is a bit hard to say."
The Trailblaze of Wisdom: "I, however, think it should currently be hovering on the high-martial line."
The Trailblaze of Wisdom: "After all, the Li Hanyi's world already has this thing called Heavenly Mandate, and the will of the Heavenly Dao seems very active. These are basically characteristic symbols of a high-martial world."
The Trailblaze of Wisdom: "Even if it hasn't reached high-martial now, it will eventually."
As he spoke, Hermes actually developed quite a bit of interest in Li Hanyi's world.
Such a world with an active Heavenly Dao could provide a lot of data for his current plan.
And if the Heavenly Dao was too strong, it would be difficult to get what he wanted. Li Hanyi's world was just right now.
Not too strong, and not so weak as to be dormant.
Female protagonist in crossover anime: "Indeed, when Fengyun was first broadcast, it was a typical mid-martial world, but later, with the appearance of Half-God and Great Sun Tathagata, it was immediately elevated to a high-martial level!"
Female protagonist in crossover anime: "If it's purely destructive power, even if one punch flattens a mountain, it's hard to call it high-martial."
Female protagonist in crossover anime: "Among them, the concept of Fengyun martial arts masters touching time should be a landmark event. Similarly, having the concept of Heavenly Mandate and an active Heavenly Dao are also landmark milestones."
"Ding, group member The Trailblaze of Wisdom has uploaded a memory copy."
The Trailblaze of Wisdom: "I have uploaded everything I know, @Li Hanyi. Although it may not be exactly the same, the general trajectory should be correct."
The Trailblaze of Wisdom: "As for the reward, when the time is right in the future and the Chat Group also enables the world-travel function, just let me research the unique Heavenly Dao and Heavenly Mandate of your world."
Female protagonist in crossover anime: "Researching Heavenly Dao and Heavenly Mandate? You really have embarked on such a path."
Female protagonist in crossover anime: "However, shouldn't the Heavenly Dao of the Tree Sea Multiverse system be the Imaginary Tree and the Sea of Quanta? Researching those should be enough, right?"
Lumine was slightly puzzled.
The Aeon of Elation, Aha, could ascend the peaks of the tree, thereby emitting laughter that vibrated throughout the cosmos. This proved that the existence of the tree was not out of reach.
Why seek something far away when something is near?
The Trailblaze of Wisdom: "The Tree Sea is too far, and the Li Hanyi is right in front of me."
The Trailblaze of Wisdom: "Besides, who said I haven't researched the Tree Sea? Why do you think I've come so far on the path of Trailblaze and can still become an Envoy of knowledge?"
With that, Hermes directly threw out an image.
[Item: philosophers stone · honkai: star rail Hermes Version]
[Genius Society #84 Hermes, It has captured a sliver of the truth of imaginary numbers and quantum mechanics.,A near-perfect substance created through condensation,This substance possesses the ability to exchange everything in the world for its equivalent value.!]
[Note: The grade of this item is estimated to be between a single universe and a multiverse. As long as it is within this range, it can take effect directly.]
Female protagonist in crossover anime: "Although it's shocking, once I thought of your name, I was no longer surprised. Hermes creating the philosophers stone, isn't that only natural?"
Female protagonist in crossover anime: "Although this honkai: star rail version of the philosophers stone, in terms of item grade, would reach such a high level."
Lumine had thought that the honkai: star rail version of Hermes was exaggerated, but she didn't expect it to be exaggerated to this extent.
According to the description, does it mean that as long as there is enough time and a sufficient quantity of honkai: star rail · philosophers stones are condensed, one can directly become an Aeon?
After all, Aeons are also within the range of a single universe to a multiverse.
Although, this would probably require an astronomical number of honkai: star rail · philosophers stones...
