Ignoring the matters of the Xianzhou Luofu, Hermes and the others quickly set off for the location of the Star Crown Court after a brief discussion.
The Astral Express was ultimately not suitable for the kind of research they intended to conduct.
"This is the Star Crown Court that you and Herta spoke of?"
When Hermes led the three others, including Ms. Herta, through the Great Universe's barrier and stepped onto the Boundary of Tree and Sea, Ruan Mei looked at the embryonic form of the Great Universe, which was spewing energy torrents, and her expression became one of disbelief.
At this moment, all she saw was the torrents of Imaginary and Quantum energy sweeping in, forming a massive energy vortex, and at the center of the Sea Eye was a world sparkling with brilliant starlight.
Rules and laws were constantly being woven together every moment.
Known and unknown forces and substances poured down ceaselessly, as if they were free, descending upon the Star Crown Court, which was currently in a state of advancement and ascension.
Even Screwllum, who originated as a mechanical intelligence, felt as if his thinking and emotional system had suddenly been upgraded; he stiffly opened his mouth, his eyes filled with astonishment.
"Lord Hermes, are you truly creating an entire nascent Great Universe?"
Yes, that's right.
When the Dimensional Star Sea: Three Thousand Digital Worlds was fully created, when Blue Star ascended and transformed into the World Center, and when Hermes incarnated as the Root of the Universe... the entire Star Crown Court had already begun an irreversible transformation, advancing toward becoming a Great Universe!
"How did you accomplish this? How was the Universal Framework created? Where did the massive amount of material needed to create a Great Universe come from?"
Creating a Great Universe...
Ruan Mei had once attempted to create an Envoy, and she knew the difficulty involved.
But this was the difference between heaven and earth compared to creating an entire Great Universe!
What height had Hermes, who was capable of creating a Great Universe, reached now?
Comparable to an Aeon?
No!
Even an Aeon could never create a Great Universe out of thin air!
If the Aeons could do that, they wouldn't constantly be making arrangements because of the outcome of the Universal End.
Ms. Herta looked at the Star Crown Court, which was spewing boundless energy torrents, and couldn't help but recall the scene when she first arrived.
At that time, the Star Crown Court was merely an ordinary Galaxy-Level World.
Yet, in the short time since she joined, the Star Crown Court had achieved such magnificent accomplishments.
Ms. Herta couldn't help but curve her lips, raising her head proudly and saying, "As expected of you, Herta!"
She had participated in all of the Star Crown Court's most important transformations.
The greatness of Ms. Herta truly needs no further explanation!
"Hahaha, how did I do it? Go inside and research it yourselves!"
Even Hermes couldn't help but laugh heartily upon seeing the achievements the Star Crown Court had attained at that moment.
"The speed at which my power is expanding is simply astonishing!"
Hermes felt the incredible rate at which his own power was growing, calling it truly exaggerated.
As the Great Universe took shape, he realized that the various powers he controlled were constantly drawing upon the creation inherent in the Great Universe's formation, slowly perfecting themselves.
His various Great Authorities were continuously transforming toward the level of Path Roots controlled by the Aeons.
The authority of the Path of Penacony was continuously being mastered by him, and the Root of Beauty was slowly beginning to become another Pillar of Existence for the Star Crown Court.
As these powers continuously transformed and were mastered, Hermes' most fundamental [Qi] also began to nurture the Seed of the Universal Root he brought back from Kikyo's World, assimilating it... Ultimately, Hermes' [Qi] would take the Ultimate Leap, achieving the Source of a Great Universe!
"However, the foundation of the current Star Crown Court is still far inferior to the Honkai: Star Rail Great Universe."
Hermes suppressed his smile and murmured in his heart: "Astrology, Quantum, Digital, Alchemy, Dimension, Space-Time... plus Pure Beauty, which is about to be annexed and merged—that's only seven Pillars of Existence."
"The foundation is too poor. Even if the Star Crown Court successfully executes the Ultimate Leap, it will only become the most ordinary Great Universe!"
"Currently, fully analyzing Yakumo Yukari's Power of Boundary, then conducting in-depth research and sublimation, should allow it to transform into another pillar, but it's still not enough!"
"It seems Ms. Herta has the opportunity for Super Evolution, to become Super The Herta, and serve as a pillar for the future Great Universe."
"Perhaps, I should give Ruan Mei and Screwllum some support?"
"Perhaps the innate talents of these geniuses truly hold this potential?"
Hermes glanced at Ruan Mei and Screwllum with some hesitation, feeling uncertain.
If he truly did this, it would be equivalent to giving them Original Shares of the Great Universe.
It wasn't that he was reluctant.
Nor did he intend to firmly control everything in the Great Universe himself.
But these Original Shares of the Great Universe were indeed very important; if entrusted to the wrong people, it would greatly affect the future development of the Great Universe.
Ms. Herta was fine.
Hermes was truly confident in her character.
But what about Ruan Mei and Screwllum?
His level of trust in them was not nearly as high.
"Hehehe..."
Ms. Herta and Hermes had been together for quite some time and she clearly understood some of his inner thoughts.
Seeing his hesitant appearance, Ms. Herta immediately knew what he was thinking and burst into an impolite laugh.
As she laughed, Ms. Herta also felt a sense of satisfaction.
See?
This was the Aeon of Beauty's affirmation of her!
Who would dare say she didn't have the potential to become a Agent of Beauty?
Ruan Mei and Screwllum looked at Ms. Herta and Hermes with puzzled expressions.
Had something happened that they weren't aware of?
"Hermes, you must make up your mind quickly."
Despite her laughter, Ms. Herta still advised him, "Otherwise, once the Great Universe truly takes shape, it will be too late for everything!"
Before the Great Universe takes shape, these Cosmic Truth, as the Pillars of Existence of the Great Universe, exist innately, coexisting with the Great Universe and growing stronger along with it.
These Cosmic Truth relate to a Great Universe's Innate Foundation and heritage.
The extent to which the future Great Universe can develop largely depends on how solid this Innate Foundation is.
However, after the Great Universe is formed, even if new Cosmic Truth can be added later, they can never be called Pillars of Existence of the Great Universe, nor can they breathe and share destiny with the Universe.
These Acquired Universal Truths can only grow and expand by relying on the constant comprehension and creation by the living beings inside the Great Universe.
The status between the two is like the difference between clouds and mud...
"I will consider it carefully."
Hermes nodded slightly.
This matter was indeed very important.
Ruan Mei and Screwllum frowned slightly as they watched the two speaking in riddles.
They instinctively sensed that the content of the conversation seemed very important to them...
