"...I just feel, should I take some time specifically to clean the house properly?"
Hermes shook his head, his brow furrowing slightly.
He hadn't paid much attention to that little mouse who had smuggled in and disappeared to who knows where.
After all, though he had plenty of time, he shouldn't waste it on such a boring game of catching mice.
When he had time, he could just set up a dedicated response agency to hunt it down, and that would be that.
But now it seemed... some guys mistakenly thought they were hiding well and were even pushing their luck?
However, this thought only flashed through Hermes' mind. Looking at the young girl before him, he showed a gentle smile and asked, "How is it, Mei? Is there anything you don't understand about Dimensional Science?"
To his surprise, after Mei became his disciple, Hermes explained his knowledge to her, and she immediately took a liking to the Dimensional Discipline he mastered.
The Path of Dimensions was profound and obscure; even Hermes himself wouldn't dare claim to have exhausted its depths.
His Dimensional Cosmic Truth hadn't even fully taken shape yet, ranking near the bottom among the many Cosmic Truths he controlled.
As for the reason?
Simply put, a lack of foundation. Hermes hadn't delved into it specifically, instead relying on the Star Crown Court's integration and collision with Great Realm of the Sea of Trees Multiverse to self-perfect.
"Teacher, my biggest problem right now is that my dimensional affinity is insufficient, and the instruments I create aren't strong enough."
Facing Hermes' smile, the girl no longer had her usual indifference. Instead, she spoke with heartfelt respect, "My observation of dimensions is too blurred, which troubles me in practicing what I've learned."
"Oh?"
"Is it just that the precision of dimensional observation is insufficient?"
Hearing the girl's trouble, Hermes couldn't help but be a bit surprised. From her words, her research into dimensions seemed to be going quite smoothly.
"Mei, do you know that studying dimensions requires more than just mastering knowledge? You also need to find a cultivation system of your own. Do you have no doubts about this?"
Simply being a defenseless scientist had no future.
Combining what one learns with a cultivation system and constantly sublimating during the learning process is the orthodox Path of cultivation.
Why was the Path so crazy?
Wasn't it because one's insights could be transformed into the power of a Destiny Walker in real-time?
As for establishing a cultivation system specifically for the Path of Dimensions?
It wasn't impossible for Hermes, just not necessary for the time being.
But the difficulty involved... Hermes was well aware.
"For me, there's no need to deliberately create a specific dimensional cultivation system."
Speaking of cultivation systems, a pleasant smile unconsciously appeared on Mei's face, which carried an intellectual beauty. "Although Honkai Energy is too violent and dangerous compared to the more fundamental Imaginary Energy and Quantum Energy after arriving in the Great Universe..."
"But Honkai Energy actually has its advantages!"
"For example, its innate 'Omnipotent' core!"
The saying "Elements are powerless, Honkai is omnipotent" was just a joke, but it highlighted the essence of Honkai Energy.
Once Mei researched dimensional knowledge to a certain level, she was confident she could form her own unique Herrscher Authority... "Honkai Energy..."
Hearing this term, Hermes immediately thought of the Herrscher of Finality who came to the Star Crown Court some time ago, and nodded slightly. "Using Honkai Energy as a transition is also a good method."
"Once your Dimensional Discipline reaches a certain level and you remove Honkai Energy from your system, it will indeed save you countless years."
Of course, this only applied to Mei's own cultivation Path.
If an ordinary cultivator dared to mix such violent Honkai Energy into their foundation at the start, they would be seeking death and cutting off their own future.
One could only say that with talent, one can do as they please.
"In that case, I shall give you this Dimensional Pearl."
Since the student had found her Path, Hermes wouldn't be stingy with resources. "This pearl is an early work of mine from years ago."
"Increasing your dimensional affinity is just its most basic use. Its most important function is to give you a chance to ascend to Five-dimensional Spacetime!"
"Once you step into Five-dimensional Spacetime, you can glimpse the countless possibilities of the River of Time and Space. If you can seize this opportunity, it will save you countless years of cultivation."
Taking out the pearl, a trace of daze appeared in Hermes' eyes. It had only been a short while, so why did he feel like he had lived through eons?
"Thank you, Teacher."
Taking the pearl from Hermes, Mei couldn't help but show a sweet smile.
Seeing his student's rich humanity now, Hermes nodded with satisfaction.
Indeed, girls should smile more.
"But speaking of which, Vill-V and Mobius, who came with me, are really having a wild time now..."
Recalling the companions who came from their hometown together, the girl complained for once. "And that girl Elysia, she's staring at your two Envoys with wide eyes, refusing to leave their side for a single step..."
Hermes' two Agents of Beauty—one was the former Aeon of Beauty, and the other was true gold forged in Nihility... Their charm was breathtakingly beautiful, so it was no wonder Elysia couldn't bear to leave.
"There's plenty of time, Mei. You should be understanding of your companions. They were suppressed for so long in your hometown, so it's only natural they'd be excited to finally unload their burdens."
Seeing his precious student rarely show her youthful side, Hermes responded with a smile. "Besides, I think quite highly of your three companions; their talents are quite extraordinary."
"Mei, the fifth dimension is only the beginning of the Path of Dimensions..."
Hermes rarely felt the urge to explain the cultivation Path of Dimensions to his disciple:
"In fact, there was once a Celestial Venerable who practiced the Path of Dimensions. I don't know his specific origins, but he called himself Chen, or perhaps he could be called Celestial Venerable Chen."
"In the past, this Celestial Venerable Chen tried to permeate his Path of Dimensions into our Sea of Trees Multiverse, but he was rejected by the Multiverse Heavenly Dao."
When speaking of this Celestial Venerable Chen, Hermes shook his head with a helpless expression.
This great being was indeed powerful, but he was just too much of a troublemaker.
Otherwise, he would have been quite willing to exchange insights with this Dimensional Celestial Venerable.
