"The Heaven Worship Ceremony requires time for design, and setting up the ritual facilities isn't something that can be completed in a day or two..."
"Since that's the case, I'll come back to take a look after all the preparations are complete."
Letting Su Mo's alternate identity act on its own, Hermes's will directly departed.
After having samples of both legend and the source of instances, Hermes allowed his avatar to start acting freely, creating this brand new identity.
The entire Yellow Turban Rebellion instance was going to last a full nine months, so he naturally couldn't devote all his attention to it.
He would come back when preparations were almost done.
Coming to check at critical moments and supporting his avatar's endeavor would be enough.
Excellent avatar identities would create their own personas and legends.
If he had to do everything himself, what would be the point of having clones and avatars?
As for worrying about the avatar going out of control?
What a joke. As someone capable of creating a great divine ability like Dao Seeking Finger, which directly points to the root of the soul, if he could still have issues with an avatar going out of control, then wouldn't his cultivation have been in vain?
It wasn't some third-rate control technique or thought imprint.
At his level, he had long understood what it meant to be "I am I."
Every avatar was "I."
So-called loss of control was merely the self being twisted.
And Hermes did not have such a problem.
He glanced at the Chat Group interface, and after finding that most of the group members were immersed in the joy of playing instances, Hermes directly went offline.
Ever since he and The Herta began to interfere with time, and the Grammer Empire appeared in the Cosmic Galaxy, various civilizations and factions had begun to stir.
Especially a certain unknown Lord of Silence, who, unable to find him, seemed to have set her sights on Ruan Mei and Screwllum, as well as... Titania.
Titania, however, was not a concern.
As Hermes's former divine vessel, she held a considerable amount of The Propagation Path authority.
In this era where the Bug Empress had fallen, virtually no one could contend with her for The Propagation's authority.
Although it would be difficult for her to ascend to godhood.
She was absolutely not someone Polka Kakami could kill.
Or rather, if they were to fight, it would be hard to say who would live and who would die.
However, the Lord of Silence was still a very troublesome woman.
Ordinary miscellaneous individuals were one thing; even powerful Envoys were nothing in Hermes's eyes.
But the Lord of Silence was different.
In Hermes's strategy for the Cosmic Galaxy, she held enough weight to influence the overall situation.
Although Ruan Mei and Screwllum were not ordinary characters.
With their technological reserves, their troublesome nature was actually stronger than that of most Envoys.
Yet, facing the Lord of Silence, there was still a possibility of failure.
"The Herta!"
After thinking for a moment, The Herta had confidently declared she would teach the Lord of Silence a lesson not long ago, so Hermes couldn't just leave her to act alone.
"The Lord of Silence has her eyes on Ruan Mei and Screwllum."
"This is a minor but not insignificant problem, so we should resolve her issue as soon as possible."
"Didn't you say you wanted to fight her?"
"Oh?!"
The Herta, currently, had endless research to busy herself with every day.
Originally, she was too lazy to bother with Hermes.
But upon hearing the name of the Lord of Silence, The Herta, whose violet eyes were previously narrowed in concentration as she calculated complex formulas on the light screen before her, suddenly widened them.
After coming to her senses and understanding Hermes's words, The Herta's lips curved into an irrepressible smile.
"The Lord of Silence, Polka Kakami!"
"Hehehe! This woman always bullies us newcomers by relying on her seniority and accumulated experience..."
"Hmph, let's see where she runs this time!"
"The Herta, are you sure you can do it?"
Hermes glanced at The Herta with a hint of doubt.
Polka Kakami's philosophy, abstract as it was, held considerable power that should not be underestimated.
This individual, claiming to ensure the universe's future by developing along a predetermined, predictable trajectory to avoid falling into unknown chaos, had done many detestable things.
Just by using her ability to manipulate probability to constantly sabotage crucial experiments of Genius Society members, she had earned a place on the geniuses' blacklist.
Don't even mention how mysterious the Lord of Silence is, and how little people know about her.
The members of the Genius Society were all formidable individuals.
Even if they weren't Envoys, they stood at the pinnacle of the Cosmic Galaxy.
If the Lord of Silence had only acted once or twice, the geniuses might have dismissed it as an accident.
But similar incidents became frequent.
Even as strong as the Lord of Silence, it would be absolutely impossible to completely hide from the eyes of the geniuses.
The fact that this woman was still alive and thriving showed her strength.
"Hmph! Hermes, you're underestimating me, The Herta!"
The Herta snorted, then her lips curved upwards irrepressibly as she said, "Don't worry! This time, I'll definitely give her a lesson she'll never forget!"
Recalling the upgraded trump card she had recently completed, a subtle, irrepressible smile appeared on The Herta's face.
"So, shall we depart now?"
"Hehehe, together, together!"
...Xianzhou Alliance, Seven Arbiter-Generals closed-door meeting.
"Since everyone is here, the meeting shall begin."
Alliance Marshal Hua spoke first, watching the virtual screens before him light up one by one.
The Xianzhou Alliance, the Seven Arbiter-Generals, seven Envoys of The Hunt, were gathered here at this moment.
"Marshal Hua, is this meeting to address the inquiry letter from the Interstellar Peace Corporation?"
Jing Yuan, the Cloud Knight General of Xianzhou Luofu, spoke first, his heart heavy, but his expression calm.
His Xianzhou Luofu had been experiencing undercurrents recently, and as the Cloud Knight General, how could Jing Yuan not have noticed?
However, just as he was constantly contemplating what cards he could play and beginning to lay out his plans, the Cosmic Galaxy outside had already stirred up a storm!
And the first to arrive was the inquiry from the Interstellar Peace Corporation...Feixiao of Yaoqing Xianzhou, upon hearing this, was immediately enraged, almost slamming her hand on the table, her gaze burning as she stared at the other Arbiter-Generals, saying, "I've long disliked the Corporation, and now they're dumping their mess on our Xianzhou Alliance..."
"What, do they really think our Xianzhou Alliance is a pushover?"
Feixiao had always been displeased with the Interstellar Peace Corporation; those guys were always tirelessly infiltrating her Yaoqing Xianzhou, feeling like mice scurrying under her nose.
As a martial faction leader, she had been fed up with this situation for a long time.
If it weren't for the fact that a single Yaoqing Xianzhou was truly difficult to directly confront the entire Interstellar Peace Corporation, Feixiao would have erupted long ago.
It was only because she constantly led Yaoqing Xianzhou into battles, and then took the opportunity to clear out some of the traitors, that her Yaoqing Xianzhou probably would have changed its surname by now!
