"Very well, looking at you, I already understand."
The High God gave a word of praise and gently blew a breath toward the two.
Instantly, the world spun for the two of them, and they vanished directly from this world.
The world of Demon Slayer.
Nighttime.
In the originally peaceful world, two meteors from beyond the heavens streaked across the sky, announcing their arrival to everyone in this world in the most prominent manner!
In a deserted shrine, Tsugikuni Yoriichi and Kochou Kanae, who had originally died, suddenly opened their eyes. Recalling the Star Lord cultivation system and the [Dao Seeking Finger] technique that had appeared in their minds... they looked at each other and simultaneously knelt on one knee, praying with utmost devotion to the High God, whose location was unknown—
"[O High God of the heavens, You are the Lord who created all things, the Father of all living beings on earth. You have nurtured thousands of stars and ascended to those high heavens.]"
"[May we one day be able to enlighten all living beings in the world, and from then on, embark on the Path of pursuing beauty.]"
"[We shall turn into a ray of starlight, so that the living beings of the world may look up to Your radiance.]"
..."Acting as a High God occasionally, sending heroes to an otherworldly realm to conquer a demon king, is quite interesting in its own way."
Hermes watched the actions of Tsugikuni Yoriichi and the other with a smile.
"They will create legends, forge epics, and pioneer a brand new era in that world."
"I look forward to their future!"
"They are indeed two outstanding children."
Buyer said with a gentle expression on her face, "I believe they will not fail Lord of Heavenly Principles."
"I have great confidence in them as well."
Especially Tsugikuni Yoriichi; Hermes held great expectations for his future.
He was a figure who had the potential to lead the world of Demon Slayer toward ascension.
Of course—
When Tsugikuni Yoriichi stands before Kibutsuji Muzan, that kind of iconic scene is a must-see part of Demon Slayer.
"As for you, Alice..."
Hermes turned his gaze toward this gifted shrine maiden, his attitude clearly not as enthusiastic.
Tsugikuni Yoriichi was a natural saint, a hero burdened with the mission of Deliverance and pioneering a Path; even in the long river of human history, he was an incredibly dazzling legend.
Kochou Kanae possessed both a great love for all living beings and a small love for her kin; she was a benevolent spirit who consistently practiced this Path.
So, Hermes favored them.
But Alice was different; she was merely a talented shrine maiden with graceful natural gifts, and for now, she hadn't shown any brilliance that would make him take a second look.
"Go back, Alice. If you do not anticipate the arrival of a miracle, the miracle naturally will not favor you."
Hearing this, Alice felt immense regret in her heart.
In a moment of sudden realization, she knew she had missed the greatest opportunity of her life.
Having seen the True God yet lacking sincerity, why was that?
That was her biggest mistake.
A True God is not a false god; He does not need you to prostrate yourself or to believe in Him, but rather requires a sincere and devout heart capable of moving the High God.
Alice did not struggle to ask the deity for another chance. By the time she regained consciousness, she had already returned to her own fragile body, a tear falling sadly from the corner of her eye.
"Princess? Your Highness?!"
The maids surrounding the bed felt a surge of panic upon seeing the despondent expression of the princess who had just woken up.
Their princess was the person with the strongest spirit vision in the world. Now that she wore such an expression, could it be that the end of the world was approaching?
"Don't worry, nothing has happened."
Alice sat up in bed, waved for the maids to withdraw, and looked at the familiar surroundings before her, feeling a bit like Alice in Wonderland, as if a lifetime had passed... Hermes looked in the direction where Alice had disappeared, a thoughtful expression on his face.
Alice's world and Zhang Zhiwei's world both belong to the God Slayer worldview.
In that case, could he try to track and explore the mechanism of this cross-worldview exploration through this aspect?
Could he find the world where Zhang Zhiwei resided through Alice?
At his level of strength, he had already begun to involve himself in exploring the domains of different worldviews.
However... it really wasn't apparent!
In God Slayer, Lady Aisha, who seemed the most unassuming, turned out to be more extraordinary than anyone... "Lord of Heavenly Principles, as the quantum truth is rapidly perfected, this situation of pulling people across worldviews will likely become increasingly serious."
Buyer waved her hand to contain the remaining soul bodies, then flipped through the World Administrator's Manual in her hand, trying to limit the irregular operation of the quantum truth. Finding it to be of no avail, she couldn't help but frown and say.
"Alright, Buyer, put your work aside for now."
Seeing her slip back into work mode, Hermes raised a hand to stop her: "Work is never-ending; it's time to consider your cultivation now."
"What does Lord of Heavenly Principles mean?"
"Leave the Star Crown Court with me for a while and take a trip to Penacony."
The corner of Hermes's mouth curled slightly as he said happily, "Dr. Chadwick has sent word that he has accepted my invitation, but he wants to meet me in person first."
"It's a good opportunity for you to use Penacony as a resource to see if you can forge a new Path."
Of course, he also had a backlog of matters in the Honkai: Star Rail Universe that needed urgent attention.
Herta can afford to start things and leave the aftermath to others, but he cannot.
"I wonder which Path I will embark upon when I go over there?"
Buyer had mixed feelings. The Path was an unavoidable feature of that great universe, but for Teyvat Archons like them, the trajectory of life could never be summarized by a single Path.
Although her essence was most compatible with Remembrance.
Yet who could say that she, an Archon who governed the Prosperity of Grass, was not suited for Abundance?
Furthermore, while her wisdom might not match geniuses like Herta, it was still at the absolute peak of mortals, and she was known as the existence who held the Authority of Wisdom.
"Don't overthink it; a Path isn't thought out, it's walked out."
Hermes couldn't help but be speechless at Buyer's worry, though he also sighed inwardly.
Buyer's wisdom was never lacking.
But it was always a hair's breadth behind geniuses like Herta.
In the past, Hermes was somewhat unclear, but after more contact with Herta and the others, he gradually came to understand exactly where the deficiency lay.
Previously, Hermes thought Buyer lacked the most fundamental spirituality, but that conclusion was both right and wrong.
Now, seeing Buyer hesitate over which Path she would embark upon, Hermes finally realized where the problem truly lay.
Because on the same issue, Herta, Ruan Mei, and the others would never hesitate.
Even if Buyer lacked a bit of fundamental spirituality, Hermes had ways to grant her a great opportunity to make up for it. But things like thinking models, decisiveness in action, imaginative thinking, and cognitive construction... all of these were a hair's breadth behind Herta and the others!
A hair's breadth is a world of difference!
