However, as the shrine maiden most favored by the Lord God Master, Kikyo could sense that compared to the green and immature Kagome Higurashi, the shrine maiden named Kikyo was the one more beloved by the Lord God Master... Therefore... if Kagome Higurashi could be taken in, then so be it; if not, it was of no great concern.
But at the very least, she had to resurrect the version of herself from this world.
With the Kagome Higurashi of this world present—as Kikyo's reincarnation—the difficulty of the operation was not particularly high.
"Um..."
The Kagome Higurashi of this world and Grandma Kaede looked at each other, frowning as they pondered Kikyo's words over and over. Only then did they roughly sort out their thoughts. What she meant was... "Is such a thing even possible?"
Grandma Kaede frowned deeply, finding it somewhat hard to believe. Could she be planning to use some kind of dark sorcery?
"But didn't you say that I am the reincarnation of the soul of the shrine maiden named Kikyo?"
Kagome Higurashi also frowned, looking at the shrine maiden before her who shared her face but had a completely different temperament. She asked cautiously, worried she might be used as a sacrifice.
"If the soul has already been reincarnated, how can she be resurrected?"
Inuyasha, who had also figured out the situation, had now quieted down. Holding his breath, his hands trembled. He didn't know if he felt anticipation or fear as he watched the development of the situation.
"Rest assured, I will not use you as a sacrifice."
Kikyo's expression remained cold and indifferent as she said calmly, "Kagome, although you are the reincarnation of 'Kikyo,' it does not mean that you and 'Kikyo' are one and the same."
"The differences between you are still vast. With a little effort, I can separate the two of you directly, turning you into two distinct people."
Even the demoness Urasue in the original story could bring back the shrine maiden Kikyo who had been dead for fifty years. For her, it was naturally even simpler.
In fact, she didn't even need Kikyo's spiritual remains; she only needed to expend her own essence blood to mold a new body for the Kikyo of this world... On the Chat Group interface, the members watched Kikyo's actions in silence.
Lumine: "Even if I have to suppress the two mutts with one hand, I, Kikyo, remain invincible in this world!"
Lumine: "...Hermes, save me!"
Lumine: "It's a pity our Mother Purple is so disappointing; she couldn't recreate that classic scene, hahahaha..."
Cynthia: "Admin, laugh all you want. Just don't wait until Kikyo finds the time to give you a beating, and then say—Hermes, save me!"
Lumine: "...I always feel like the Admin, who used to have the image of a reliable older sister, is getting more and more mischievous?"
While watching the actions of his lovely shrine maiden in the other world, Hermes did not stop his own movements, unhurriedly performing a resurrection of his own.
Istaru, Asmodeus, Ronova, and Naberius watched their master's every move intently.
Ronova clutched her chest, her expression somewhat complex as she said, "The former master of old returns through resurrection, but we are no longer her shadows."
"Yes, we are already the Sustainer of Heavenly Principless belonging to Master."
As Phanes's aura grew stronger, Naberius's face showed a mix of joy and worry. "I wonder if, given her personality, she will be able to accept this fact?"
No one knew the personality of Phanes, the former master of old, better than the four of them.
"Is this the so-called 'Human Realm Power'?"
With the return of Phanes, Hermes nodded with satisfaction. "This potential is actually a bit beyond expectations..."
As expected of the famous Great King Phanes!
Hermes felt a sense of wonder in his heart.
Based solely on this Human Realm Power that was unique in the Great Universe, if she hadn't been screwed over by Teyvat, her potential might even put Lumine, the protagonist, to shame—"
There was no helping it; who told Lumine not to have a character model like Kiana's?
What was Human Realm Power?
Simply put, it was the power belonging to 'Humans.' Almost all power originating from human emotions and wisdom could be categorized within the scope of Human Realm Power!
What kind of concept was that?
To put it exaggeratedly, even Chen Nan's system—that power of 'Civilization'—could be categorized under Human Realm Power!
With this power, Hermes could conclude that even if Phanes were thrown into the Honkai: Star Rail Universe, she would definitely be a seed candidate with the hope to Ascend to Godhood!
If she were to perish halfway, the most likely reason would be her personality—courting death and screwing herself over... "Phanes, appear before me."
Hermes did not hesitate. The rainbow light of Pure Beauty transformed into a small Ouroboros. The majesty of the circulating cycle re-embedded the existence of 'Phanes' into the multiverse from a causal level!
Buzz, buzz, buzz!
The moment Phanes was resurrected, the entire Star Crown Court seemed to ripple slightly for an instant.
In the intersection and collision of truths, a unique rule named 'Human Realm Power' seemed to be woven together.
At the same time, the Archons still existing in the former Teyvat all clutched their hearts. That incredibly subtle resonance, seemingly from the depths of their souls, made them realize something.
"The Primordial Former Master... I didn't expect the Lord of Heavenly Principles would resurrect you..."
In Liyue, inside Wanmin Restaurant, it happened to be the time for a gathering of the former Seven Archons of Teyvat. Morax suddenly murmured with a complex expression.
"Well, I think her resurrection isn't necessarily a bad thing..."
Barbatos thought for a moment and gave a sheepish smile. "Aren't we gathering now precisely so that the people of our former Teyvat can face the ever-increasing pressure?"
"With her resurrection, at least our pressure should be reduced by more than half, right?"
The situation in the Star Crown Court was currently changing with each passing day.
As those historical heroes from the former Blue Star returned one by one, their foundations constantly exploded, and their progress in strength was simply terrifying.
Especially those emperors who had left their names in history.
Each one was ambitious, wanting to suppress the others and become the boss themselves.
After summoning a host of famous ministers and generals to form Star Lord collectives like 'Immortal Qin,' 'Divine Han,' 'Martial Ming,' and so on, the speed of these fellows' progress was simply frightening!
There were also the academic factions, equally unwilling to be left behind: the 'Mohists,' 'Confucians,' 'Taoists,' 'Novelists,' 'Golden Dawn'... Even Xiangling had formed the 'Gourmet Association' with many like-minded people who revered the Dao of cuisine. Its development momentum was also quite exaggerated.
None of these Star Lord collectives could be underestimated.
For example, the gourmet power of prayer researched by Xiangling had broadened the height of the paths of 'Cooking' and 'Gourmet' within the Star Crown Court.
Another example was the 'Immortal Qin' collective; they deeply explored the integration of the national destiny system and the rules of the Immortal Dao, creating a Star Lord path that belonged to them.
