This was no lie; a single sentence from Hermes had already saved her years of arduous cultivation.
If it were an ordinary mortal, receiving a word of recognition from the Lord of Heavenly Principles would likely be enough to defy the heavens and change their fate.
Furthermore, that pure and vast power of culinary aspiration had already left her very satisfied.
Hermes said with a smile, "Evaluation is one thing, but since you were able to create a dish that satisfied me, a reward must be given!"
After speaking, without waiting for Xiangling to decline, Hermes opened the Chat Group mall, searched for Froese's exclusive shop, scanned it with his gaze, and clicked purchase—
Seven-Colored Cloud Brocade Galaxy Noodles.
The next moment, in a bowl of soup as brilliant as the galaxy, seven-colored rainbow light shuttled through the galaxy.
From within her body and soul, a craving surged forth—it was the most primal desire to eat!
The moment this bowl of noodles appeared, everyone's eyes went straight; it was too exaggerated!
"Is... is this really still noodles?"
Taking a slight sniff, that indescribable aroma of the noodle soup welled up from her heart...
Satisfaction, simply too satisfying!
Just the fragrance of the noodle soup caused Xiangling to be immersed in it for a long time, almost unable to extricate herself.
Not to mention Xiangling, even Hermes was a bit surprised; he hadn't expected that after not paying attention for a period of time, Froese's progress would actually be this great.
"This Seven-Colored Cloud Brocade Galaxy Noodles is a dish from a God of Cooking in another world."
Hermes introduced to everyone, "The noodles inside were made by this God of Cooking collecting clouds from different times of the day, and the soup was also brewed using a special technique, harvesting the starlight of the galactic stars..."
"Turning decay into magic; even if this God of Cooking came to our Great Universe, attaining the Tao of [Star Lord] would be nothing more than taking something from her pocket."
"I hope that through this dish, you can broaden your horizons of the culinary path and advance toward a higher palace of cooking!"
Xiangling was still at the level of traditional ingredients, while the level of Froese's culinary path had already reached the profound and mysterious conceptual level.
The clouds Froese collected were not some incredibly magical heavenly treasures; she collected ordinary clouds, and even more so, the concept of [Cloud].
The collected starlight was energy, and even more, a perfect portrayal of the [Brilliant Galaxy].
Consuming this bowl of noodles could even give the diner an opportunity to comprehend the paths of stars, clouds, and the firmament; one can imagine just how much Froese's cooking level has progressed today!
"Yes, Lord of Heavenly Principles!"
Xiangling looked at this bowl of noodles with terrifyingly fiery eyes; from this bowl of noodles, she saw the direction forward for the future. She had never imagined before that the culinary path could actually be walked this way!
"May I ask the name of the God of Cooking who created this dish?"
"Froese!"
"That is a God of Cooking born in response to the great trend of an era in a world of cuisine!"
Hermes exclaimed with admiration, "And to this day, this God of Cooking has still not stopped her footsteps in pursuing the culinary path."
"Xiangling, if one day your culinary skills gain my recognition, I will give you an opportunity to be introduced to Froese!"
"Xiangling will do her utmost and will never let down the expectations of the Lord of Heavenly Principles!"
While speaking, in Xiangling's eyes, the flames of fighting spirit burned fiercely!
When Hermes returned to his own courtyard, recalling the fiercely burning fighting spirit of the little cook Xiangling, he couldn't help but feel a hint of anticipation.
To be frank, Xiangling's culinary talent had truly exceeded his expectations.
Perhaps... his Star Crown Court really could possibly produce a culinary path at the level of Cosmic Truth?
Of course, relying solely on a little girl like Xiangling would certainly not be enough.
If it were Froese, there would be a glimmer of possibility, but in terms of time, it would likely take a very long time, and it definitely wouldn't be able to catch up to the time of the Star Crown Court's ultimate leap...
"Perhaps, I could invest some resources and try to see?"
Relying purely on Xiangling and Froese won't work, so what if I gather the various worlds, for example, adding the God of Cooking from Little Garden?
What if the Chat Group adds a few more member worlds where culinary rules are prevalent?
Plus his own abilities, guiding them from the shadows... perhaps, there is some hope?
"Since there is hope, let's go talk to Froese..."
Just as Hermes was about to open the Chat Group, someone suddenly sent him a message.
Traveler: "@Hermes, big shot, if you are done with your business over there and have time, would you like to come over to my side for a vacation?"
Having adventured in the vast starry sky for a long time, the Traveler sent the invitation with a bit of excitement.
Traveler: "Hahaha, I didn't expect that in such a short time, my reputation as the Traveler would actually be this big. I heard that the Charmony Festival, which is held only once an Amber Era, is about to begin, and Penacony actually sent me an invitation specifically!"
Traveler: "As expected of me, even the Family has heard of my reputation!"
Lumine: "I wonder what Penacony and the Charmony Festival are actually like in reality..."
Lumine: "@Traveler, now that there is the Chat Group travel function, how about I, the Admin, go over and take a look?"
Lumine: "At this grand event, even the avatars of Aeons will appear; I'm really looking forward to it!!"
Lü Dongbin: "...So Aeons are appearing. If one could witness such Dao-attainers with one's own eyes, it should be of great benefit to cultivation, right?"
Suppressing the restless urge in his heart, Lü Dongbin sighed with regret; it was a pity he couldn't go...
Hermes looked at the Traveler's invitation, his eyes slightly closed, and for a moment, he fell into deep thought.
Originally, he had already separated an avatar and taken Buyer there; his main body actually had no plans to return to the The Universe for the time being—
After all, in his current state, if he were not careful, the Path of Penacony might riot and forcibly make him ascend to godhood.
However, now that the Traveler had sent an invitation, perhaps it was not a coincidence.
It was an alternative urging from the The Universe side; the instinct of the Great Universe was likely already a bit impatient...
The Great Universe was calling, and the Path of Penacony was gathering strength.
Since that was the case.
Hermes: "@All Members, if anyone wants to go on vacation, you can go and meet up with the Traveler first. Leave the issue of invitations to me to solve."
Hermes: "This grand event in Penacony should be very exciting; if you have time, you can consider going to take a look."
Hexi: "It seems that at this grand event in Penacony, some unexpected things will likely happen?"
Cynthia: "...I think, according to the consistent practices of the Genius Society, they are probably about to stir up a major event, right?"
Feeling that she had been lurking for a long time, but actually always discussing Pokémon breeding with many group members, the quite active Cynthia keenly sensed something.
Lumine: "@Hermes, you wouldn't be planning to officially strike and truly turn the Honkai: Star Rail Universe into your own Great Universe, would you?"
Honkai: Star Rail Universe? Might as well take it and turn it into my Honkai: Star Rail Universe!
