Heavenly Dimension Pearl

Dimensional Technology had always been Hermes's weak point.

Of course, saying that was one thing. Even a genius's weak point still surpassed the achievements of more than 99.9% of the Universe's top scientists.

He extracted a trace of [Imaginary Quantum Hybrid State] energy from within his body.

Ever since Hermes had comprehended the Essence of Quantum and the imaginary, then crowned himself with Authority: Alchemy, the energy within him was no longer merely Path energy.

It had become [Qi] unique to him alone!

In essence, this [Qi] was the manifestation of Hermes's [Dao Fruit].

At this point, Hermes's Dao Path was actually already clear: he was an unconventional [Qi Refiner]!

As long as he continued to comprehend all kinds of principles and forge them into his [Qi], refining ever more powerful [Qi], he would be able to walk his path ever farther.

For Hermes, the countless Star System cultivators created by the Star System he had forged on Blue Star, along with the myriad principles and thousands of paths they comprehended, were ultimately all jointly refining this very strand of his [Qi].

Authority: Astrology, the Heavenly Dao-integrated world, the fusion of countless Authorities, great powers, and laws—all of them were likewise refining Hermes's fundamental [Qi].

"As long as I can thoroughly grasp this dimensional power..."

Hermes calculated in a low voice, "My path will be able to take another step forward."

The power of dimensions was an exceedingly terrifying force.

As he analyzed the essence of this power, Hermes seemed to roam between zero dimensions, one dimension, two dimensions, and three dimensions.

Even the concept of four dimensions gradually became comprehensible as his analysis deepened.

"Four-dimensional spacetime is a crucial stage. If I cross this threshold, I'll gain the ability to guard against enemies' attacks across time and space."

Having analyzed things to this extent, Hermes finally stopped.

It was not that he did not wish to continue, but these Anomalies were still too weak to support further research.

Looking at the Anomalous creatures before him, which he had nearly dissected, Hermes pondered for a moment before materializing the power of Authority: Alchemy.

At once.

A crucible appeared before him.

After some calculations, he made use of the waste and tossed them inside.

Authority: Alchemy surged forth, and its power to refine all things stripped away the Anomalies' excess impurities.

It sorted out the most essential dimensional power within them, rather than refining everything indiscriminately into a chaotic, disorderly mixture.

After careful calculations, he added several more materials to balance and contain it.

Authority: Alchemy connected with Authority: Astrology, and the two formed a synergy.

At that moment, they resembled the gestation of innate spiritual treasures in a xianxia world. With a mysterious wonder born of creation itself, they transformed the materials in the crucible into a most dazzling pearl.

In the end, a deep, secluded pearl appeared within the crucible.

The pearl was as black as the deepest abyss, yet crystal-clear, with mysterious patterns naturally inscribed upon its surface.

Its appearance alone marked it as extraordinary.

Hermes took the pearl into his hand and used the Chat Group's built-in Mall appraisal function to identify it.

[Ding, it contains dimensional essence. An independent dimension may be opened within it. Carried on one's person, it grants the bearer the power of dimensional teleportation. If completely consumed as a sacrifice, it grants one instance of a four-dimensional life's perspective.]

[Ding, the group member is the treasure's creator. Please name it.]

"Since this pearl can open up dimensions, enable dimensional teleportation, and even provide a Four-Dimensional Perspective, I'll call it the Heavenly Dimension Pearl."

[Ding, treasure successfully named!]

"I wonder how much this pearl is worth?"

Curious, Hermes casually tossed it into the Mall.

[Chat Group appraisal, estimated value in points: 368,800!]

"How much?"

Even Hermes was startled. The Anomalies that were like roadside weeds on Luo Qianqiu's side, once refined into treasures with the support of his skills, were actually worth so much.

How much had this thing even cost to make?

If he bought the materials from the Mall, the total cost would not even reach 500 points!

He immediately tossed several more Anomalies into the crucible.

A moment later.

Another Heavenly Dimension Pearl was refined, and he then went to Buer's side.

"I'll first test this pearl's effects myself."

"Buer, I'm going to conduct a dimensional experiment. Help me record the data."

"Yes, Lord Hermes."

Buer's eyes lit up. Dimensional Technology was likewise a blank field for her. As the mistress of Wisdom, she thirsted for knowledge in every new field.

Hermes found a place to sit, then used a specific method to ignite the Heavenly Dimension Pearl.

Very soon, the Heavenly Dimension Pearl completely dissolved, and a wondrous pull began drawing at Hermes's consciousness.

Realizing that it had begun, Hermes did not resist and instead immersed himself in it.

The world before his eyes changed in the next instant.

A moment later, Hermes awoke, ending this session of Four-Dimensional Perspective.

In that brief span of time, he had used this unique perspective to survey the dimensions of time and space, sorting through all the knowledge he had accumulated in his life, including all manner of Great Authorities.

Closing his eyes to reflect on the experience, he was astonished to discover that his scale had actually increased by one percent.

One had to know that he was an Emanator recognized both through self-coronation and by an Aeon. His scale was nearly comparable to a vast galaxy.

Now that it had increased by one percent, this power was even greater than that of an ordinary Emanator.

More importantly, he vaguely felt that he could observe changes in things across multiple dimensions.

This was a faint sign of Dimension Ascension.

For a three-dimensional lifeform to ascend dimensions was as difficult as for an immortal cultivator to Attain Dao and Become Immortal.

Yet a tiny Heavenly Dimension Pearl seemed to have forged a key to Dimension Ascension for Hermes.

"Unfortunately, the Heavenly Dimension Pearl can't be used consecutively. Otherwise, there's a chance of getting lost in the gaps between dimensions."

Hermes secretly sighed with regret.

With a quick calculation, he knew that the cooldown period would take at least a year.

If it could be used continuously, he was confident that he could condense a Great Authority · Dimension.

Meanwhile.

As the Heavenly Dimension Pearl was placed in the Mall, the entire Chat Group was thrown into an uproar.

Multi-Fandom Great Female Protagonist: "Heavenly Dimension Pearl—368,800 points? Isn't that too expensive?"

Crowned Puppeteer: "The Heavenly Dimension Pearl! It can actually give people a Four-Dimensional Perspective!!"

Snow Moon Sword Immortal: "Why are you so excited, Aozaki Toko? What does Four-Dimensional Perspective mean?"

Mount Hua Sect Leader: "I'm curious too."

Crowned Puppeteer: "The Heavenly Dimension Pearl's uses are truly immense! Just thinking about it briefly, I can already come up with dozens of ways to use it."

Star Sea Traveler: "It seems that when it comes to sensitivity toward knowledge, magi like Aozaki Toko are still better. I understand the concept of dimensions, but I'm honestly a little unclear on how exactly they can be used."

Paper Angel: "At least you know what dimensions are. I don't know anything at all."

Crowned Puppeteer: "@Snow Moon Sword Immortal @Mount Hua Sect Leader, if you can't understand the concept of four dimensions, then surely you understand immortals?"

Crowned Puppeteer: "Possessing a Four-Dimensional Perspective is equivalent to viewing the world through an Immortal Perspective."

Crowned Puppeteer: "Just think—how great would the help to our cultivation be if we could view problems from a higher perspective? Perhaps when we encounter a difficult bottleneck, taking a look from this perspective would reveal exactly how we should proceed."

Crowned Puppeteer: "Perhaps, from this perspective of looking down from above, you might discover problems you never noticed before, allowing you to walk a path you could not have walked otherwise."
