Chapter 188 - Chapter 186: Comparison

"It seems they don't look like big shots from our Liyue, but rather like those from the Old Blue Star era, or perhaps prominent figures from the neighboring Great Universe?"

The mature woman thought of this and was almost certain of the other's identity. Not long ago, several big shots from the The Universe over there had visited—Lady Ruan Mei and Lord Screwllum. Even the Lord himself came out personally to welcome them.

In this newly born Star Crown Court, it was no longer the Teyvat of old; many great existences would truly walk upon the earth.

"Boss, should we contact other nations to confirm this lord's origin?"

A waiter who looked like a young boy walked over with light steps and asked in a low voice.

"...No need. Facing such a great existence, it's best we don't be impolite. We'll bring the news to His Excellency Tianquan first; the Qixing will decide this matter themselves!"

The boss shook her head slightly, astral power surging through her body as her figure instantly vanished from the spot.

"It seems that during the time Liyue has integrated into Blue Star, it hasn't quite adapted to the rhythm of the Star Crown Court yet."

Hermes, who saw everything, couldn't help but chuckle. This time, he was just bringing two little guests over to taste Xiangling's cooking.

There was really no need for such a grand display.

Not only was Morax alerted, but the Qixing, who actually managed Liyue, were also high-strung... They still hadn't managed to adapt to the pace of life here after all.

The Star Crown Court is not Teyvat; the law of the jungle cannot be fully applied here.

Hermes, as the Lord of Heavenly Principles, makes the cultivation of spiritual beauty the primary source of the Star Crown Court. Those who wield great power naturally cannot be the type to act overbearingly or recklessly.

Soon, Hermes and the other two stopped and looked ahead.

This was a rather simple and ancient-looking restaurant, but it was very spacious and elegantly decorated.

Not only that, but every corner of the restaurant was permeated and interwoven with wisps of metaphysical truths and laws.

"Hmm? I didn't expect that a young girl like Xiangling could actually master the Path of Gourmet?"

Hermes glanced around, a hint of surprise appearing on his face, feeling he had truly underestimated her. And... "I didn't expect to meet again so soon, Young Master Su!"

Before Zhongli and Li Bai could speak, Hu Tao stepped forward briskly and said with a smile, "I thought the Young Master was a busy man who forgets things and had already forgotten our scheduled dinner."

Although she had already guessed that this was a great existence—a high-ranking Star Lord comparable to the Lord—Director Hu had always been free-spirited and never cared about the status of her friends.

"I could forget anyone, but I would never forget Director Hu."

Hermes said with a smile, feeling that spending time with Hu Tao was pleasant. "Two little ones came to visit today, so I brought them along to try the craftsmanship of Wanmin Restaurant. That should be fine, right?"

"These are Jin Russell and Lili Lither; they are both wonderful children."

"Excuse us for the intrusion, Lord Su Mo, and the two little guests who have come from afar."

Zhongli's steady voice came: "I have already made arrangements at Wanmin Restaurant. Why don't we go inside and chat?"

Zhongli's handsome figure, with an irrepressible air of majesty between his brows, entered their sight.

A Four-Digit deity!

Jin and Lili confirmed the identity of the newcomer in their hearts.

The Path of the Star Lord opened by Hermes was a unique system that used the soul as a seed for the transcendent.

And after he successively mastered many Cosmic Truths and achieved the primal ancestral qi, this system became increasingly extraordinary.

It uses the soul as a cornerstone. Once a practitioner gains insight into the source of the soul and becomes a Star Lord, they can absorb the many Cosmic Truths controlled by Hermes, turning them into their own nourishment to begin carving out their own path.

Nine Revolutions Void Refining, attaining the Path of a Star Sovereign.

As this path becomes increasingly prosperous, becoming a Star Sovereign now might not necessarily rival a Three-Digit God-King of Little Garden.

But as this path becomes more complete and powerful, it might not be impossible to reach that level!

As someone who had traveled a considerable distance on the Path of the Star Lord, Zhongli appeared to Jin as being at the level of a Four-Digit deity, which was actually quite normal.

In reality, however, in Zhongli's eyes, these two children before him carried an extremely unusual awkwardness.

He smelled the scent of divinity on these two little ones!

This was a very strange thing.

Because whether it was the The Universe or the current Star Crown Court, the Divine Path was almost non-existent—even Aeons were just titles for those who wielded great power, rather than those walking upon a Divine Path.

In contrast, the Demon Gods of Teyvat not only possessed divinity, divine power, divine bodies, and godheads but could also utilize the power of faith... This was a very strange path indeed.

"Gentlemen, a private room is ready. Please, come in."

While they were introducing each other, Xiangling, the God of Cooking, came out enthusiastically to invite them.

As a Star Lord with no small amount of cultivation, Xiangling knew Zhongli's identity. Moreover, she was able to progress so smoothly on the Path of the Star Lord thanks to the Lord's careful guidance.

Behind Xiangling, Marchosius, still in the form of a small bear, widened his eyes. He wasn't a complete novice like Xiangling; the aura on Hermes, like an incarnation of truth and a great power akin to the origin of all things, almost made it impossible for him to look away.

He was sweating profusely now; he almost didn't need to think to know who this person was. It was truly terrifying.

"Alright, alright. I just came here this time to bring some kids for a meal, nothing else."

Hermes sighed in his heart. Not only had his Truth of Beauty been completed, but it was also constantly absorbing the primal power from the Path of Penacony, continually perfecting itself.

The power climbing every second made it difficult for him to conceal the rhythm of truth on his body.

"Hahaha, exactly. Eating is what matters."

Li Bai began to lead the way with a face full of smiles, smacking his lips as he said with a reminiscent air, "If it weren't for the favor of you fellow Daoists, I don't know when I would have been able to taste Chef Xiangling's personal cooking again!"

"Taibai Star Lord, you must be joking. I'm more than happy for you to come; how could I ever turn you away?"

Xiangling shook her head. To have someone of his stature critique her work would also greatly promote her Path of Gourmet, so she naturally welcomed it.

The group arrived at the backyard of Wanmin Restaurant. A space barrier had been specially set up here; from the outside, it looked to be only about a hundred square meters, but once inside, it was almost no smaller than the entire Wanmin Restaurant outside.

After Xiangling and Hu Tao left to prepare the meal, Zhongli looked at the two little ones with some curiosity and asked, "Lord of Heavenly Principles, I wonder where these two young guests have come from?"
