"This peculiar divine aura is not only vastly different from those of us who were once Demon Gods of Teyvat, but it also seems completely incompatible with the Great Sources of Imaginary and Quantum."
The buffs on the two little ones were so crude that even Zhongli couldn't be deceived; after a brief observation, he saw right through them.
"There is a heaven beyond heaven, and a world beyond worlds; surely you must have a deep understanding of this by now, Zhongli?"
Hermes had no intention of hiding anything. Watching Zhongli's thoughtful expression, he continued with a smile, "These two cute little guests come from beyond the Imaginary and Quantum, from the infinite multiverse of Little Garden."
"It is a magnificent world, vastly different from ours, where millions of divine communities gather in the playground of gods and buddhas—Little Garden."
"Lord Hermes, you really already knew!"
Jin Russell was slightly amazed. He hadn't said anything yet, but this exalted being had already completely discerned everything.
"This world is truly incredibly magnificent!"
Upon hearing this, Li Bai sighed in awe, his expression filled with longing, "I wonder when I will be able to reach the level of our Ancestor, to traverse the myriad dimensional worlds and roam the infinite seas of realms..."
"Your aptitude and comprehension, along with Zhongli's, are both excellent. It is unrealistic to say you will definitely achieve Cosmic Truth, but there are many opportunities in the Star Crown Court ahead, and if you can seize them..."
Hermes said, implying something more.
Becoming a Pillar of Existence or an Innate Truth of the Star Crown Court was unrealistic, but as long as one could seize the opportunity, there was still a chance to achieve the Dao.
"Thank you for your guidance, Lord of Heavenly Principles!"
"Thank you for your advice, Ancestor!"
Zhongli and Li Bai understood each other implicitly, their hearts filled with realization.
Sometimes, whether one is prepared or not when the opportunity arrives makes a world of difference in the gap between them.
"Jin, Lili, I will not hide it from you either."
Hermes turned his gaze back to the two little ones and said with a slight smile, "I am indeed quite interested in Little Garden."
"However, although I have already analyzed the coordinates of Little Garden from you, I am currently limited by my realization of realm power and cannot cross the infinite multiverse to reach Little Garden in a short time..."
Of course, if Hermes were willing to spend a few years, he could go there himself.
However, as the saying goes, it takes too much time.
"Your Excellency, we are willing to serve you and guide you into Little Garden!"
Jin's eyes lit up. Without even a second of hesitation, he agreed immediately.
Little Garden is a paradise for gods and buddhas and never refuses the arrival of any god or buddha. Jin had no psychological burden in agreeing.
Moreover, in the history of Little Garden, there have been precedents of external Two-Digits arriving.
"Very good! I know you two little ones must have some trouble."
Hermes nodded with satisfaction and promised, "As long as I arrive at Little Garden, I will solve these little troubles for you!"
Perhaps the troubles plaguing Arcadia are a crushing weight that even Canary feels, but for a Cosmic Truth, they don't even count as small troubles.
Jin and Lili looked at each other, their eyes faintly welling up with tears. They knew that with this Excellency's promise, their Community would finally be able to see the end of their hardships.
"Thank you very much, Your Excellency!"
"Indeed, no matter what kind of world it is, it is never easy!"
Seeing this, Zhongli and Li Bai sighed inwardly. To be able to make two children, barely ten years old, run out to look for opportunities, one can see just how much pressure they were under in their original world.
After the group chatted a bit about the situation in Little Garden, Xiangling quickly brought the dishes to the dining table.
From the plates of food, a faint luster emanated, and the feeling that permeated the depths of one's soul rose gradually along with the aroma.
The Dao of Cuisine leads to the same destination through different paths.
It is normal for Xiangling to be able to make glowing dishes.
This is the Dao of Cuisine that Xiangling has developed and derived along the path of the Star Monarch, which specializes in cultivating the root of the soul.
"What are you all chatting about?"
At this moment, Director Hu also brought over some dishes. Noticing that everyone wasn't using their chopsticks, she asked in surprise, "You aren't still waiting for this Director, are you?"
"We are all friends, no need to stand on those messy ceremonies. Just be comfortable and eat!"
"Indeed, Zhongli, Li Bai, and Xiangling, sit down and eat together. Everyone, don't be polite."
Hermes nodded in deep agreement, then took the lead by picking up the food with his chopsticks and tasting it naturally.
He narrowed his eyes slightly; Xiangling's culinary attainments were beyond his expectations.
Currently, he had temporarily suppressed his ocean of consciousness, which was filled with the Dao Rhyme of Truth, wanting to obtain the most authentic tasting data.
As a result, this dish of Xiangling's actually gently wiped away the restlessness in his soul.
This was enough to clear the spiritual platform of a practitioner at the Star Monarch level, allowing every diner who tasted the food to temporarily set aside their restless hearts and immerse themselves in the satisfaction of the cuisine.
"These dishes... truly grasp the essence of the Dao of Cuisine; they are delicacies that can make diners feel completely satisfied!"
Under Xiangling's expectant gaze, Hermes commented, "You have truly found your own [Dao]; you are worthy of being called a true God of Cooking!"
After Hermes gave his evaluation, Xiangling was stunned to realize that a vast, ocean-like force of Culinary Vow Power appeared out of thin air, causing her cultivation to climb at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In the Nine-Turn Refining Void, she had actually easily taken another step, directly achieving the Fourth Turn of Refining Void.
On the path of the Star Monarch's Nine-Turn Refining Void, she had actually already walked nearly halfway?
This... just where did this great god come from?
Even the Culinary Vow Power produced by the Emperor's comments last time was not even one-ten-thousandth of this!
"Impressive. When I last saw Miss Xiangling, her path still seemed slightly immature. I didn't expect that after not seeing her for a while, it would have been perfected to this extent."
Li Bai was not surprised. At the Ancestor's level, a single word of affirmation or praise was enough to allow any mortal to defy heaven and change their fate. "Vow Power is also a force very close to the root of the soul, possessing the great power to change the world."
"I didn't expect that Miss Xiangling's Dao of Cuisine had already begun to truly integrate this power into her own path."
After the path of the Star Monarch was truly popularized in the Star Crown Court, all sorts of wild ideas from modern people emerged one after another.
Vow Power is one of the universally recognized paths to the heavens.
Many people believe that if one can collect a sufficiently vast amount of Vow Power, achieving the rank of Star Lord in one step is not difficult.
However, although this is a principle that countless people understand, very few are truly able to make their own path compatible with Vow Power.
