Chapter 39

Now.

Many scholars on the Blue Star have already begun to discern certain patterns.

To establish a Dao, one must first pass the trial of the heart; those who draw closest to the concept of 【Good】 find it easiest to walk this path.

Many suspect that the great being existing in the unseen realm instinctively favors the good!

Whether Itachi are Chaotic Good, Lawful Good, or Neutral Good, it matters little—but if Itachi are born evil, then tragedy awaits…

Precisely because of this, the atmosphere across the entire Blue Star shifted instantly.

Many nations have even begun drafting specialized moral and ideological education curricula, aiming to instill proper values in children from the start, laying a solid foundation for their future paths!

Seeing this, Hermes nodded slightly, granting a touch of favor to those nations taking action.

Those who remain stubborn and unyielding will face being discarded by the age—

The new age has no ship left for them.

It must be said that heroes once confined to history are now emerging one after another in this era, piquing even Hermes’s own interest.

He often sat beside Wuliuta Jizi, eagerly observing from afar their brilliant clashes.

Some of these heroes even drew Hermes’s slight attention.

These heroes, already tested by history, have had their thoughts and wisdom refined over centuries, growing ever more brilliant and dazzling.

Sometimes, Hermes even took Wuliuta Jizi to the scene, watching them debate and discuss the Dao.

To Hermes, such collisions of thought and philosophy held a unique beauty.

“Jizi, I recall Itachi originally studied interstellar aerospace dynamics, dreaming of stepping onto the stars?”

One day, Hermes suddenly smiled and asked the Wuliuta Jizi beside him.

“Yes, back then, I was eager to design a unique starship—perhaps one shaped like a medieval sailing vessel? Or even a train?”

Recalling those days, Wuliuta Jizi’s eyes gleamed with an indescribable longing, but gradually, the nostalgic light faded, replaced by a gentle smile: “Still, though I sometimes remember it now, my first half-life was spent teaching many students I am proud of and satisfied with.”

“And in my second half, I no longer regard that dream as my greatest aspiration…”

Hermes looked at the transformed Wuliuta Jizi before him, his eyes filled with appreciation.

It must be said that from her once bold and heroic warrior demeanor to her current gentle and composed grace, Wuliuta Jizi has undergone a complete metamorphosis.

“Would Itachi like to see what kind of person Itachi would have become if Itachi hadn’t abandoned your dream of interstellar aerospace and had instead stepped onto the stars?”

Hermes said with a mischievous smile.

“Oh? Hermes, have Itachi invented something miraculous again?”

Hearing this, Wuliuta Jizi instantly grew curious.

“No, Itachi will soon see for yourself another version of Itachi—the Jizi who roamed the star seas.”

“What? Now Itachi’re speaking in riddles? Why tease me like this?”

Having hooked Wuliuta Jizi’s curiosity, Hermes watched her wide-eyed, pouting expression and merely smiled in silence.

…

Multiverse Big Female Lead: “Damn, Hermes, your life seems so exciting every single day!”

Master of Huashan: “Qin Shi Huang and Han Wu Di brawling, Zhuge Liang debating with Liu Bowen, the Marquis of Guan and Chen Qingzhi clashing… What a time to yearn for!”

Crowned Puppeteer: “…Unlike my Servants, these are living historical heroes reborn from antiquity into the modern age!”

As group members chatted enthusiastically, the group notification sound rang out after a long absence.

“Ding, member [Warring States Shrine Maiden] has joined the group.”

“Ding, member [Intermittent Amnesia] has joined the group.”

Star Traveler: “New members at last! Welcome, but ‘Intermittent Amnesia’?”

Snow-Moon Sword Immortal: “Does that mean the consciousness automatically forgets at intervals?”

Multiverse Big Female Lead: “Warring States Shrine Maiden’s trait isn’t very distinctive, and ‘Intermittent Amnesia’? That nickname’s too abstract!”

Expansive Wisdom: “Actually, it’s obvious—the Warring States Shrine Maiden seems common, but the group doesn’t admit unknowns; she’s almost certainly Kikyo, the strongest shrine maiden of the Warring States era.”

Expansive Wisdom: “As for ‘Intermittent Amnesia,’ it literally means forgetting periodically due to some cause—the hint is clear: Is it Index?”

Multiverse Big Female Lead: “Kikyo joining isn’t surprising, but I never expected Index to join? I thought the group’s members here would be either Kamijou or Misaka…”

Whether it was Kamijou Touma or Misaka Mikoto, either joining Lu Qianqiu wouldn’t be strange—they both perfectly fit the group’s entry criteria, especially as protagonists of their respective series.

Yet it’s Index who joined?

As she pondered this, the familiar voice of the group echoed once more in the members’ ears: “Ding, the group has met the conditions. The live-streaming function and group-linking function have been activated.”

Star Traveler: “The live-streaming function is finally open! I’ve always wanted to see the scenery of other worlds—now I can finally satisfy that wish.”

Multiverse Big Female Lead: "@Star Traveler, Kage, should I livestream the scenery of my world for Itachi? Would Itachi like to watch?"

Multiverse Big Female Lead: “Evil grin·jpg”

Star Traveler: “Won’t that drop my SAN value?”

Star Traveler: “Sweating·jpg”

Warring States Shrine Maiden: “Um… are Itachi all really from other worlds?”

Warring States Shrine Maiden: “Or perhaps… otherworldly demons?”

In the Warring States era, Kikyo, after firing her purifying arrows and slaying over a dozen demons attacking the village, lowered her bow in exhaustion, wiping sweat from her brow.

Regaining her composure, Kikyo finally began examining this sudden addition to her life.

Otherworldly people?

Recalling her own world—where demons ran rampant and there were more demons than humans—Kikyo let out a wry smile.

The Great General of the Western Lands, Lord of the Leopard Cat, the spirit of the Dragon Bone, the Death God who roamed both the mortal and spirit realms, the legendary demon sage Hakuō Shiki…

One after another, mighty demons rose, and human settlements fell one after another…

Kikyo had always worried: what would become of the village if she died in battle?

Now, could this sudden group be her chance to break the deadlock?
