Although Primordial Great Heavenly Venerate's presence was like a brilliant sun, dazzling and impossible to look at directly.
Yet, there were still some beings whose innate arrogance and pride were etched into the deepest parts of their lives, becoming an uncontrollable instinct.
For example, above the Moon Capital at this moment.
"A joke! That filthy place on the ground suddenly spawned such a fellow, who then unilaterally declares he will control destiny and establish heavenly rules?"
"Exactly, how impoverished and destitute is the world below?"
"Our Moon Capital hasn't even stepped forward, and this fellow, who appeared from who knows where, presumes to speak of destiny?"
As soon as these words were uttered,
the Sages of the Moon Capital echoed in agreement.
"Precisely!"
"Mere ants on the ground!"
"How dare they speak of destiny?"
A certain Sage of the Moon Capital sneered.
Then,
his expression suddenly changed drastically.
"Boom!"
The three thousand rules that constituted this world transformed into invisible chains, descending from the heavens.
A power terrifying enough to obliterate all gods and demons instantly ground him from flesh to soul, completely and utterly, bit by bit!
Not only that, the Sages who had just spoken disrespectfully and pointed fingers at Primordial Great Heavenly Venerate were also within the scope of this heavenly punishment.
Approximately sixty percent of the Moon Capital's Sages were severely wounded in that instant, and the brand of heavenly punishment was simultaneously imprinted upon their bodies and souls, causing them to constantly feel soul-piercing pain!
This pain would accompany them for endless ages!
The remaining Sages looked up in horror, and a Dao sound, originating from the very root of heaven and earth, faintly echoed in their ears:
"Those who insult the Dao shall enter the Unending Abyss."
In this realm, Primordial Great Heavenly Venerate was the Dao!
...This vast number of beings prayed and wished together, converging into an immeasurable torrent of faith and wishes.
This stemmed from a world ravaged by a thousand years of war, and the yearning of countless beings for peace and stability.
When Primordial Great Heavenly Venerate emerged, and issued the decree to re-establish order and legal traditions across the heaven and earth, countless beings prayed to the heavens, offering their wishes as sacrifices with immense emotion.
These were the purest and most flawless thoughts.
The faith and wish power of a single being was insignificant.
But when the faith and wish power of billions upon billions of beings converged, it became a terrifyingly mighty force capable of shaking the torrent of destiny and the great fortune of an era!
The golden torrent of wishes, resplendent as gold, transformed into an incomparably brilliant celestial river, turning the boundless starry sky into a sacred land.
This power, which was the will of the people, was a truly immense force capable of changing heaven and earth!
Moreover, the one receiving and utilizing this power was none other than Primordial Great Heavenly Venerate, who had already taken control of heavenly principles!
Falling flowers from the sky? Golden lotuses springing from the earth? Purple qi coming from the east?
At this very moment, Primordial Great Heavenly Venerate no longer needed these extra embellishments to highlight his sacred legitimacy!
The moment this brilliant golden torrent of wishes surged towards him—
He had already become the universally acknowledged Supreme Great Heavenly Venerate; heavenly principles were woven in his palm, and destiny was but a single thought of his.
His every word and action was the law of the world!
This immense power, guided by Primordial Great Heavenly Venerate, was refined and sublimated into the source of this realm's destiny stars.
He truly embedded the system he created into the fundamental essence of this world.
It became the eternal truth of this heaven and earth!
Rumble!
This loud sound was like a signal for the dawn of a new era.
The next moment,
one, two, three... countless meteors plummeted towards the beings who were praying across the entire land.
The originally tranquil starry sky instantly transformed, with countless meteors converging, into a river of dazzling light, a surging, ascending, and prominent waterfall of the Milky Way.
Pouring down from endless heights!
The path of the destiny stars was officially opened to the boundless sentient beings of this heaven and earth.
Everyone in the live stream was mesmerized, watching this unprecedented meteor shower.
Female protagonist in crossover anime: "...Changing heaven and earth is but a flick of the wrist. Is this something an Envoy can do? If you said you were an Aeon, I'd believe you!"
Female protagonist in crossover anime: "Perhaps an Envoy's destructive power is terrifying, easily piercing planets and destroying star systems."
Female protagonist in crossover anime: "But if you say an Envoy can, with a mere wisp of consciousness, modify and control the underlying logic of a complete world, I don't believe it!"
Li Hanyi: "Han Yi is still struggling to fight against the power of destiny, who would have thought..."
Li Hanyi looked at the resurgent power of destiny before her.
What was usually abstruse and incredibly distant seemed so frail and powerless compared to this moment.
Crest-holder Puppeteer: "Such an achievement, if placed in my world, would already be considered becoming the root of the world, wouldn't it?"
Comparing oneself to others can be infuriating.
Although Aozaki Touko's pursuit of the Root was not as fanatical as other Magicians, who would almost give everything for it, she still yearned for it greatly.
But now... Pioneering Wisdom: "@Female protagonist in crossover anime, if I simply wanted to become an Aeon, I could do so at any time right now."
Pioneering Wisdom: "However, simply becoming an Aeon is not what I aspire to."
Becoming the fundamental Dao of a realm was an unprecedented experience for Hermes.
In the Honkai: Star Rail Great Universe, there were numerous Aeons above.
Above the Aeons, the roots of the multiverse were the Imaginary Tree and the Sea of Quanta.
In such circumstances, if Hermes were to act as he was now, it would undoubtedly be courting death!
But now, having come to Kikyo's world... having come to Kikyo's world, the situation was entirely different!
He no longer needed to worry about anyone or anything.
Silently contemplating his current gains,
a smile he couldn't suppress spread across his lips.
Hermes had condensed the root of the universe, a fundamental power universal across myriad worlds.
Although this power of the cosmic root would lose over ninety-nine percent of its efficacy once it left this world,
it didn't matter; for Hermes, possessing a single seed represented a qualitative change!
Because,
this actually meant that Hermes had initially jumped out of the framework of the Tree-Sea Multiverse system!
It represented that Hermes's Dao had finally completely integrated and sublimated Trailblaze, Erudition, pure beauty... everything, transforming from mere energy, mere Qi, into a higher-level conceptual power!
Or, to use the terminology of the Qi Refiner system, it was Ancestral Qi?
Known as the origin of the universe, the foundation of enlightenment, inherently possessing spatiotemporal uniqueness, even if it leaves the Chat Group's protective rules and enters another myriad world, "I" am still "I"!
Although this cosmic root was still just a prototype, incredibly weak and minuscule, and its enhancement to Hermes's combat power was not significant,
compared to before, it was already a completely different level!
The appearance of this embryonic wisp of cosmic root represented the transition from 0 to 1.
