After reflecting on the beauty of this life, Hermes calmed his mind and opened the Chat Group again, spending points to exchange for some materials.
Although spending a large number of points on the [Designated Exchange] function was somewhat inefficient, to him, if something could be exchanged for points, there was no question of whether it was worth it.
Finally... [Indestructible True Spirit], a technique obtained from an unknown Xianxia world, caught Hermes' eye.
"True Spirit, it really is a profound and complex concept..."
In this Xianxia worldview, the True Spirit is a deeper conceptual level of consciousness than the soul or Primordial Spirit. For the experts of this Xianxia world, as long as the True Spirit exists, they are not considered truly dead and can return to life at any time.
But, what is a True Spirit?
Constantly flipping through the jade slip in his hand, which seemed to contain the information volume of an entire universe, Hermes' brow furrowed. For a moment, even he couldn't fully digest or understand this technique.
After a long time, the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles, situated above high-dimensional space-time, began providing computing power to assist him in analyzing these materials.
Slowly, Hermes began to understand what a True Spirit was and knew how to gather consciousness to create True Spirit fragments and resurrect through them... "Phanes, I hope your resurrection is worth the effort I've put in..."
Recalling the shining, reverent gazes Ronova and the others gave him, the corners of Hermes' mouth curled up slightly, and his speed in absorbing and comprehending the materials in his hand even quickened a bit.
To be honest, resurrecting Phanes was a bit more complicated than he had imagined.
Resurrect her by directly rewinding time and space?
If that worked, Phanes would have done it herself back in Teyvat.
Moreover, even Teyvat had merged into the Star Crown Court. To perform resurrection through space-time interference on a multiversal scale, Hermes felt his attainments in Space-Time Truth were still slightly lacking and could not handle such a complex operation.
There was no way around it; Phanes had died far too thoroughly.
The Archons of Teyvat could still be slowly guided and nurtured back through consciousness fragments in the ley lines, eventually making a clever return, just like what Zhongli was doing now.
But Phanes couldn't; she didn't have even a single shred of consciousness fragment left, and her life form was far too complex. If it weren't for the Four Shadows of Life, Death, Space, and Time, Hermes would probably have to resort to more technical operations to resurrect her.
For example, the infinite possibilities of Infinite Truth, the information reshaping of Digital Truth, the Boundary Record Tapes of Boundary Truth, the high-dimensional interference of Dimensional Truth, or the future timeline solidification of Space-Time Truth... "Eh, so there were actually this many choices..."
He hadn't realized until he counted, but Hermes never expected he could create so many resurrection methods from his own power. Suddenly, the [Indestructible True Spirit] technique in his hand felt a bit awkward.
Was there even a need for him to study this thing?
Even with the Chat Group's localization modification, it wasn't easy to make it fit the Tree Sea worldview, understand it thoroughly, and create a resurrection technique with local characteristics... "Sigh..."
Recalling Ronova and the others, who had already been dyed in his colors and were his own Sustainer of Heavenly Principless, Hermes sighed and prepared to study it again.
There was no way around it; creating a mature, high-end resurrection method from scratch, even for Hermes, would take at least several decades.
Is several decades a long time?
Very long!
For a genius of Hermes' level, several decades was enough to thoroughly research the scientific system of the Honkai: Star Rail Universe and advance it by several generations!
However, for the mighty beings of the heavens who had already stepped into different worldviews, to spend only a few decades creating a top-tier resurrection method that worked for them... it was practically a myth!
Perhaps next time he could use a little trick with time to solve these research tasks that required a lot of time?
However, just as Hermes was about to dive back into his research, his brow furrowed slightly.
As the source of the Star Crown Court, he suddenly felt a subtle... discord?
It was as if some foreign species that didn't belong here had suddenly squeezed in.
"This isn't the guidance or salvaging of quantum truth..."
Any existence from another world salvaged by quantum truth would basically be branded with a localization tag. Sensing this sudden anomaly, the more Hermes tracked and explored it, the more peculiar his expression became. "Good grief, isn't this just directly slapping on a temporary buff?"
"And... these guys are too careless. Don't they know how to hide themselves?"
With such crude methods, could they be newbies who just stepped into the dimensions of the heavens?
Having already moved past the beginner stage and become a mature powerhouse of the heavens, Hermes only had to take a quick glance to extract and track some blatant clues.
Is it a trap?
"Hehehe, let me see what your background really is..."
Hermes had no fear of these outsiders or the potential powerhouses behind them.
Not to mention his other max-level account, Infinite Möbius; just being in the Sea of Trees Multiverse made him fearless against any provocation!
Don't be fooled by the Sea of Trees Multiverse's low presence; anyone who thinks it's an easy target is a true fool!
Once an outside powerhouse tries to act recklessly, a Multiversal Heavenly Dao is enough to let any of them know the weight of the Iron Fist of Reason!
...Dimensional Star Sea, Three Thousand Digital Worlds, Kindling Realm.
As the world governed by Himeko, she had put a great deal of effort into its planning, even specifically consulting Hermes.
Kindling Realm, Administrator's Office. Himeko was currently sitting before a quietly burning Cinder.
This Cinder was the First Cause from which the Kindling Realm was born.
As the world administrator, Himeko's tasks were exceptionally heavy; she needed to constantly fine-tune the laws of the Kindling Realm, deriving everything in this world from the Cinder.
Light and darkness, cold and warmth, chaos and Order... This was the origin of the Kindling Realm, where all things evolved from the Cinder.
"Himeko is working exceptionally hard now as well..."
At some point, Hermes appeared beside her, a gentle smile appearing on his face.
Although her talent wasn't high compared to those monsters, it was true.
But for Hermes, unless one's talent was as high as Herta and the others, there was no difference between a fool and a genius.
A Blazing Crimson Lotus, noble yet stubborn, gentle yet intellectual—the spark of the soul was always Hermes' primary focus.
Without disturbing Himeko's work, Hermes silently cast his gaze toward a certain part of the Kindling Realm, where the outsiders were located.
