Thousands upon thousands of terrifying Ghostly Shadows were everywhere.
In the sky and on the ground, on streets and walls—humanoid and beast-like, several meters tall or hundreds of meters tall—they filled every corner in a dense mass.
It was as if she did not live in the world of the living, but in an Asura hell!
The Ghostly Shadows reveled, howled, fought, and slaughtered one another!
Blood and viscera rained down through the air in a crimson shower.
Luo Qianqiu slowly closed her eyes. When she opened them again, her deep gaze was as still as an ancient well, calm and composed.
Though this world could be called a cesspit, Luo Qianqiu gradually came to accept its worldview.
If she wanted to save this world, which could sink into complete ruin at any moment, running away was useless!
She could only face the difficulties head-on!
If even a Transmigrator like her, one blessed with a Golden Finger, chose to run away, then who else could step forward and save the world?
Perhaps Luo Qianqiu was not a born savior, nor was she some exceptionally brilliant genius, but she would never lack the responsibility she ought to have!
Multi-Fandom Great Female Protagonist: "A tide of Ghostly Shadows blotting out the sky · Image.jpg. Tell me, does anyone have it worse than I do?"
Pioneering Wisdom: "!!!"
Most Heinous Criminal in History: "!!!"
Mount Hua Sect Leader: "!!!"
Paper Angel: "!!!"
Divine Chef: "!!!"
Star Sea Traveler: "!!!"
The flood of exclamation marks in the group made it clear just how shocked everyone was.
Even though Floze's era was ravaged by war, and her fairy-tale-like world treated all things as ingredients, it was nothing compared to the world before them.
Even Hermes was briefly stunned. This bizarre scene could probably only compare to the great Universe Insect Disaster of old, when all things had turned into insects!
At once, Hermes developed a strong interest in this Comprehensive Anime World.
The waters of such a world were certainly deep—very deep—but that also meant there would be great rewards!
Pioneering Wisdom: "Group Leader, if you have time, remember to capture some for me. I'm rather interested in studying them now."
Multi-Fandom Great Female Protagonist: "No problem! Once this tide eases up a little, I'll act immediately!"
Paper Angel: "It's a pity Nagato doesn't know the Uzumaki clan's signature sealing techniques. In the Group Leader's world, sealing techniques should be fairly useful, right?"
Thinking of how Nagato was a genuine member of the Uzumaki bloodline, yet aside from his red hair, could not use a single signature Uzumaki ninjutsu...
At that thought, Konan glanced at Nagato and Yahiko, whose entire bodies radiated an innocent yet foolish air, and let out a long sigh.
This group still had to rely on her!
Otherwise, the ending from the original story would become the future of all three of them!
She completely failed to notice that Nagato and Yahiko were looking at her more and more strangely.
"Konan has changed so much lately. She even keeps staring blankly at the air."
"Could it be that she's spent too much mental energy on Akatsuki Organization's development?"
"Probably. And Konan wasn't this violent before. She punched us several times today."
"Yeah, yeah. Konan used to be such a gentle person..."
"So, Metagross, if there's no problem, I'll leave the newly completed Ley Line testing ground in your care."
Hermes smiled as he looked at the steel behemoth standing before him.
He had not expected Cynthia to find him such a steady-tempered Metagross.
After all, ordinary Metagross were generally rather irritable.
"Metagross!"
Metagross nodded. Its supercomputer-like brain had already told it what to do: repairing the Ley Line, replenishing its energy, observing the Ley Line's reactions under different climatic conditions...
None of this was difficult for a Metagross with a supercomputer-like brain.
Watching Metagross's receding back, Hermes nodded in satisfaction and said to Buer beside him with a smile, "Interesting. Truly fascinating. Collisions between different worlds really do create interesting sparks."
After studying Metagross for several days, he had gained even more than expected.
Metagross's pre-evolved forms—Beldum and Metang—did not possess particularly remarkable processing speeds. Yet once they evolved into Metagross, they underwent a tremendous transformation, as though they had been completely reborn.
The boost in intelligence brought by four brains was not one plus one equaling two, but hundreds or thousands!
Hermes had already roughly derived a formula from Metagross, but the technology was not yet sufficiently developed. His plan to create several external brains for himself had no choice but to be temporarily shelved.
Still, he thought very highly of the plan's prospects.
"With your guidance, Metagross's future will surely be bright."
Buer said with a smile.
Although she had not been taken in for very long, she had already come to understand Hermes, this Heavenly Principles, to some extent. He was a Great Existence who possessed both power and wisdom. Even she could not discern the slightest trace of the power hidden within his body.
"Buer, with the memories of an entire world contained within you, if you were to step outside, who knows how far you could go upon the Path of Remembrance..."
During this time, Hermes had come to realize what an extraordinary treasure Buer was.
The World Tree was essentially Teyvat's memory storage device, while Buer was the World Tree's incarnation and was born with its authority.
Under such circumstances, throughout all of Teyvat, almost no one besides the Heavenly Principles and the Descenders could escape her sight.
And Teyvat, it had to be said, might not have been a particularly large place, but the amount of good things hidden there was anything but small.
For example, this time, he had obtained a Ley Line structural diagram from Buer and had begun trying to create a Ley Line experimental zone on Blue Star.
Ley Lines were one of Teyvat's distinctive features and could effectively establish a world-cycle system.
Once he had thoroughly researched them, Hermes planned to build them here as well.
"The Path of Remembrance? I'm afraid it isn't time yet."
A thoughtful look appeared on Buer's face. After being brought up to speed for a while, she had gained a preliminary understanding of the Honkai Star Rail Universe.
Especially its most distinctive features: Aeons and Paths.
Those two kinds of existences felt strangely familiar to Buer.
In Teyvat's terms, weren't they simply Archons and Genshin Visions?
"Lord Hermes, you deliberately created this Pathless world on Blue Star. If I were to set foot upon a Path now, I fear the power of the Path would contaminate Blue Star. The losses would outweigh the gains then."
Buer replied gently.
"And how is the Star System I created coming along?"
"Relying on the Path data you provided, along with Teyvat's Genshin Vision framework and some information from the Constellation system, the task has progressed smoothly. After another three days of testing, if there are no bugs, we can begin trial operation."
