First Star Lord

"Ding. Group member Pioneering Wisdom has had 1,500 points deducted."

"Ding. The draw is beginning."

Ten seconds passed before ripples finally spread across the lottery interface.

It was like fishing—at last, a fish had taken the 1,500-point bait.

"Ding. Congratulations to group member Pioneering Wisdom. You have won a Great Magic from the Type-Moon World—Reality Marble Blank Seed. After fusion, it can combine with your inner landscape to create a Reality Marble unique to you."

"Ding. Fuse?"

"A Reality Marble... It seems like quite an interesting technique!"

Though it could not compare to the Five Great Laws of the Type-Moon World, a Reality Marble was still one of its Great Magics.

It was said to manifest the caster's inner landscape and overwrite reality, forming an independent extradimensional domain.

The True Ancestors of the Type-Moon World could use Reality Marbles to create Millennium Castles. Hermes scarcely dared imagine just what level his own Reality Marble would reach.

"Fuse it."

As a blank seed appeared out of thin air and fused with him the next instant, all sorts of knowledge concerning Reality Marbles automatically surfaced in Hermes's mind.

He did not rashly release the fully formed Reality Marble.

Instead, he carefully studied the completed Reality Marble—Perfect World.

The more he examined it, the brighter the smile on Hermes's lips became.

This Reality Marble had given him an enormous surprise!

According to the principles of this Great Magic, it was the ultimate manifestation of magic and spirit combined.

Its strength depended on the depth of the caster's inner landscape and their reserves of magical power.

In other words, a Reality Marble reflected its user's life trajectory and obsessions...

"The Type-Moon World truly is full of surprises everywhere!"

Hermes could only sigh in wonder.

He possessed the mass of a galaxy!

The Genius Club members' accumulated knowledge, the life of a Nameless who had pioneered the stars, and his current goal of pursuing a Pure Beauty World that existed only in dreams...

All of it had directly created the Reality Marble [Perfect World]...

Over the following days, Hermes continuously explored and refined this [Perfect World].

"Agumon, are you ready?"

With Perfect World's help, Hermes had finally created the perfect evolution tree for Agumon.

"Yes, Hermes. The data inside me is practically overflowing. I can't hold any more!"

Compared to other Agumon, the one before Hermes was nearly a head taller, clearly having enjoyed excellent meals.

"Good. Perfect World, guide Agumon's evolution toward the perfect stage I envision!"

"Agumon, evolve..."

A surging tide of data engulfed Agumon. Just as it was about to evolve into Greymon, the power of Perfect World descended and shrouded it.

Analyzing, dismantling... drawing out possibilities, guiding it toward the perfect evolution Hermes desired!

"MetalGreymon!"

A dinosaur with steel horns atop its head appeared before him.

This unusual dinosaur stood over thirty meters tall. With a steel horn branded with strange symbols, it was practically a terrifying behemoth born for war!

If any member of the Royal Knights had been present, they would have noticed that the symbol on MetalGreymon's forehead horn was sixty to seventy percent similar to Omegamon's Ω!

"It really is a cheat-like ability!"

Hermes contentedly stroked the horn representing the evolution chain toward Omegamon, unable to help sighing again that he was indeed charging ever forward down the path of cheats.

Perfect World.

As its name implied, its function was to guide all things toward the perfect direction Hermes, its caster, desired, creating a Perfect World that belonged to him alone!

Combined with Hermes's own scale...

Once Perfect World was deployed, even he was somewhat unsure of the range it could encompass—

At the very least, it covered the scope of an entire starfield!

The ability was simple, but its effects were nothing short of cheating!

With this ability, Hermes's research into Omega and Alpha would proceed without hindrance. As long as he accumulated enough data, he would soon have his own right- and left-hand guardians: Omegamon and Alphamon!

And that was not all.

With [Perfect World], Hermes advanced another step along the path he had created. The pace of his Dimensional Technology research, which had previously slowed, began accelerating once more...

He was confident that before long, he would successfully achieve Dimension Ascension and step into the realm of the fourth dimension!

No wonder Hermes looked so moved—he had charged forward without pause on the path of exploiting cheats...

"Hm? Interesting! Without anyone's guidance, in such a short time, he actually succeeded in Establishing Dao and became a Star Lord?"

Hermes paused slightly and turned his gaze toward Blue Star.

Since the Life Star system began operating, this was Blue Star's first Star Lord. It carried extraordinary significance!

"So that's how it is! By Establishing Dao [Qin] and filling it with the governing principles I used when founding Great Qin, I can turn this [Life Star] that belongs solely to me from illusion into reality and set foot upon the path to heaven!"

Qin Zheng felt [mana] continuously surging within his body, his face filled with excitement.

More than two thousand years ago, Qin Zheng swept across the six states and established the unified dynasty of [Qin].

It had been an era of dazzling splendor.

Although Great Qin had fallen after only two generations, no one could deny Qin Zheng's achievements.

Yet few knew that although the Qin Emperor had indeed passed away back then, his undying heroic soul had not been completely extinguished.

Under the protection of a mysterious force, Qin Zheng had managed to reincarnate roughly once every few centuries.

However, perhaps after experiencing death and reincarnation, Qin Zheng had grown indifferent to the rise and fall of dynasties and had no intention of rebuilding the Qin Dynasty.

Over two thousand years, Qin Zheng had successfully reincarnated five times. In each life, he had continuously pursued and studied the mysterious force protecting him.

But unfortunately...

That force was too lofty.

So distant that Qin Zheng could barely touch it.

Not until this reincarnation, when modern technology had advanced by leaps and bounds, did he finally figure out what the force protecting him was.

It was the great power of the Sea of Quantum!

The Sea of Quantum possessed chaotic temporal order and an unfathomable spatial structure.

Perhaps he had met some condition and gained the protection of a trace of quantum power, allowing him to randomly reincarnate several centuries later...

After so many long years, Qin Zheng could sense that if he failed to find a solution, then after one or two more reincarnations, he would likely be completely worn away and perish within the cycle of reincarnation.

Originally...

He had already despaired and planned to quietly live out the rest of his life.

Yet in this reincarnation, he keenly noticed that the entire world had undergone some strange change.

Once he noticed the change, Qin Zheng decisively entered secluded closed-door cultivation.

He wanted to seize this final opportunity!
