Meanwhile, as Hermes finished his Ascend to Godhood process, most of the Group Members had returned to their respective worlds.
In the Comprehensive Anime World, Admin Lumine took out the original Lite Version of the jade disc of creation. His expression was incredibly gentle as he stroked the jade disc, which glowed with a Pure Beauty rainbow light. The joy on his face was practically uncontrollable, his smile nearly reaching his ears.
"I made a fortune, a huge fortune!"
Lumine brought up the Chat Group's Appraisal function and posted the appraised information into the Chat Group interface:
[Item: Pure Beauty Jade Disc]
[Originally, it was just an Immortal Treasure forged by an Immortal imitating the legendary Heavenly Dao Supreme Treasure, the jade disc of creation. After Group Members invested a large amount of points, its [Recording] function was specifically enhanced.]
[Ultimately, it completely recorded the experience of the great existence—Pure Beauty Hermes—in achieving his Dao, elevating it to the Pure Beauty Jade Disc it is today.]
[Chat Group Appraisal, Estimated Value Points: 9.987 Billion.]
Chen Nan: "This supreme treasure will be our most important asset for a long time."
He read the information over and over, barely able to suppress the shock in his heart.
Chen Nan: "I estimate that many genuine jade discs of creation might be far inferior to our Pure Beauty Jade Disc!"
Lü Dongbin: "Forget ten billion points, even if it were a hundred billion or a trillion points, you absolutely couldn't exchange them for this Pure Beauty Jade Disc in the Chat Group!"
Lü Dongbin: "Utilizing the perspective of the Chat Group, we have practically copied down the entirety of Lord Hermes' Dao-achieving experience."
Lü Dongbin: "Every thread and every shred of information contained within is incredibly valuable!"
For Lü Dongbin, this Immortal, Hermes' Dao-achieving experience was simply too shocking.
If they hadn't joined the Chat Group, which Mighty One would allow others to record and copy their complete process of achieving the Dao?
Anyone who dared to do so would practically be issuing an endless provocation to that Mighty One!
Unohana Retsu: "...Even without this Pure Beauty Jade Disc, the ability to fully observe Lord Hermes' Dao-achieving process using the Chat Group's perspective was an incredibly precious experience for us."
In the Fourth Division of the Soul Society, Unohana Retsu's face was flushed crimson.
For the strong, they do not fear hardship or danger; what they fear is lacking a direction forward!
For Unohana Retsu, the end she could previously see was the Soul King, who legendarily evolved the Three Realms.
But this held no meaning for Unohana Retsu. What thoughts would a normal person have about Pangu, who is said to have cleaved open the heavens and earth?
A frog at the bottom of a well struggles to see the full scope of the world.
For her, it was essentially the same.
Ying: "Hehehe..."
The Traveler said nothing, merely grinning foolishly. They made a killing!
Aozaki Touko: "...I'm so envious!"
Li Hanyi: "Don't forget us when you get rich, Ying!"
Lumine: "Uh, Hanyi, you, the dignified Li Hanyi, don't you think saying that ruins your image?"
Lumine: "But still, don't forget us when you get rich!"
Lumine: "@Ying!"
Froese: "+1!"
Even Froese, who usually cheats so much she loses to no one, couldn't help but feel a slight pang of envy in her heart right now.
That Ying fellow is probably about to take off.
Cynthia: "Envious, also +1!"
Konan: "Ying really made a killing this time!"
Ning Qingyu: "This must be the importance of making the right choice, right?"
Dragon: "How much time has passed? Who could have anticipated Lord Hermes' situation?"
Zhang Zhiwei: "Has something happened?"
Honjou Nia: "@Ying, did you win the lottery?"
Hexi: "Hmm? Alert.jpg!"
Hexi: "Is there something we don't know about?"
Lumine: "Allow me, the Admin, to answer your questions."
Lumine: "This incident actually happened before you all joined the Chat Group."
Lumine: "Back then, shortly after the lottery function came out, Ying performed an Occult Draw, and with a huge burst of luck, drew the Authority [A Dream of Yellow Millet]."
Lumine: "Although this Authority was useless to Ying, Hermes seemed quite interested at the time and traded for it. Hermes gave Ying several options, one of which was the opportunity to borrow Hermes' Great Power: Alchemy once..."
Lumine: "And Ying never exercised this promise. She waited and waited, all the way until now. Now, do you understand?"
Now, can the value of the former Great Power: Alchemy be compared to the current Alchemy: Cosmic Truth?
The difference is like heaven and earth!
Chen Nan: "!!!"
Hexi: "!!!"
Lü Dongbin: "!!!"
...Zhang Zhiwei: "!!!"
Admin Lumine's answer caused the pupils of the newly joined members to contract violently; they were utterly terrified.
What kind of figure is Hermes now?
The Group Members who observed his entire process of achieving the Dao and Ascend to Godhood already had a vague understanding in their hearts.
It is no exaggeration to say that if this Lord pulled out a strand of hair and threw it into the Chat Group Mall, it would sell for an astronomical number of points.
And borrowing the Great Power: Alchemy once—which is now Alchemy: Cosmic Truth?
It would probably be effortless to refine a Great Universe and become the Lord of the Great Universe oneself... Hermes: "...I also didn't expect Ying to be able to hold back and keep this promise for so long."
Even he couldn't help but sigh with emotion that Ying was too patient!
As for deliberately suppressing the power of Alchemy: Cosmic Truth and compressing it to the level of a Great Authority for Ying to use?
There is no need for that.
Whether it's a Great Authority or a Cosmic Truth, to him now, they are essentially the same.
Ying: "..."
Could I say that I was actually busy searching for treasures, exploring, and traveling in the Great Universe, and temporarily forgot to return to the Star Crown Court?
And then, when I finally came to my senses, the value of this promise had skyrocketed?
Kikyo: "@Hermes, Great Heavenly Venerable, I have already found the Kikyo from a Parallel Space-Time."
Kikyo: "Would you like to cast your gaze here and take a look?"
Regarding the envy and jealousy of the other Group Members toward Ying, and their desire to swap places with her, Kikyo remained quite calm.
As the Miko closest to Hermes, Kikyo could feel that as long as she could bear it and the Great Heavenly Venerable permitted, she could actually borrow a corner of her Patron God's Cosmic Truth to a certain extent.
It must be said that following a good boss means you can eat until you're full—
Provided you have no intention of reaching the top and becoming the boss yourself.
In comparison, she felt a strange sense of shame regarding this parallel world's version of herself.
Falling in love with a Dog Demon... isn't a Dog Demon just a dog?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel disappointment toward this version of herself, wishing she could be stronger.
Couldn't she try to be more decisive and ruthless, like herself?
