Chapter 471

At the moment Mo Yi impulsively uttered the word 【Heavenly Zun 】 and named the new era the 【Mythical Age】, Hermes silently gazed at Luo Qianqiu beside him.

Will there soon appear an ancient 【Ancient Emperor】 era, followed by a primordial 【Great Emperor】 era?

Won’t your little sister Li Hanyi object after finding out Itachi’re pulling this prank?

“Hehehe, don’t Itachi think this is perfectly fitting?”

Luo Qianqiu dodged the question, but as he spoke, his voice grew increasingly confident and righteous:

“If, originally, Hanyi’s world wasn’t quite worthy of such a bold and majestic title, then…”

“Aren’t Itachi here?”

“Aren’t Itachi planning to come to Hanyi’s side to research and conduct experiments? Isn’t it reasonable to make up for it?”

With your status as the 【Pure Beauty】 Hermes, even casually plucking a single hair and dropping it into this world would instantly overload this modest mid-martial to high-martial realm, transforming it into a grand cosmos equal in scale to that fantasy world!

At that point, who would dare say her little sister’s title of 【Heavenly Zun 】 is unfitting?

Who would dare say the coming era cannot be named the 【Mythical Age】?

Hermes shook his head—could it be that the legendary Bone Ash Emperor is actually me?

Yet while other Bone Ash Emperors scatter ashes, perhaps what I scatter is nothing more than a single hair?

Thinking this, Hermes’s eyes flickered faintly, and he instinctively looked down at the world beneath him.

Instantly, beneath his gaze appeared a river that, compared to the irreversible torrent of time within the Tree Sea Multiverse, resembled nothing more than a country stream.

Without surprise, Hermes shifted his gaze further, toward the future era.

The Mythical Age.

A delicate figure, as if the very center of the entire cosmos, appeared before him—within her palm, the Iron Horse and Ice River, its blade flowing with the destiny of the age.

Master of the Cutting Heaven Sword, Heavenly Destiny Great Zun , World-Defining Heavenly Zun —

Li Hanyi!

She severs heavenly destiny to determine the rise and fall of time, carving the Mythical Epoch upon the edge of her sword!

At that moment, this Mythical Zun who gazed upon the Cangsang of the cosmos suddenly lifted her head, as if in a daze—this peerless, dazzling sword master seemed to glimpse the very beginning, the pivotal moment.

“So that’s how it is, Lord Hermes~”

Li Hanyi sighed softly; with just one glance, she understood everything.

Her title as Heavenly Zun , her entire era, was nothing more than the result of a joke from the group owner.

And then—

Within the gaze of this great being, the entirety of this era was fully formed!

She was Li Hanyi, a member of the chat group.

Therefore—

This version of her was no fleeting, illusory mayfly.

She remained herself.

At this very moment, the one battling destiny was still her—indistinguishable from destiny itself.

Even if this unrealized, illusory timeline never truly took shape, even if…

This timeline was utterly discarded, she could still, through the chat group’s unique nature, leverage this connection to reverse time and return to her past self.

There would be no conflict, no collision—because from the very beginning, both were her.

Seeing this, Hermes was unsurprised; his gaze continued downward—

But nothing more.

This timeline ended here.

The timeline born from Luo Qianqiu’s joke ultimately failed to spread further, for a simple reason—

Neither Hermes nor Luo Qianqiu had truly made a final decision.

On such a foundation, no Immortal Kings or Immortal Emperors would arise to reverse time, break free from temporal chains, and burst forth from this illusory future timeline…

Then, at any cost, seize this true temporal anchor and unleash all their power and methods to interfere with, influence, or even completely overturn the original true timeline, making their existence real.

“What a pity—no solitary, eternal Heavenly Emperor emerged to sever this timeline and turn it into a perfect world, nor did the Three Heavenly Emperors appear to debate us…”

Following Hermes’s gaze, Luo Qianqiu saw it all and sighed in regret.

Honestly, if a host of Heavenly Emperors truly appeared in this era, seeking to debate Hermes—the near-Bone Ash Emperor—it would be quite entertaining!

“…”

Hermes gazed at the mischievous group owner and said slowly:

“If a truly solitary, eternal Heavenly Emperor truly emerged, seeking the culprit…”

“Do Itachi think they’d come to spar with Itachi—or demand an explanation from me?”

Luo Qianqiu fell silent, then changed the subject as if nothing had happened:

“Lao Mo, time’s up.”

“If we keep chatting, the poor tool Itachi’ve earmarked will be sliced in half by Hanyi’s sword!”

“…True.”

Hermes didn’t mind the clumsy topic shift; he redirected his gaze back to the battlefield.

Watching Li Hanyi’s sword principle grow ever more brilliant and radiant, Hermes offered a rare compliment:

“Severing heavenly destiny to forge one’s own being, mastering the heavenly destiny of cosmic rules…”

“These are truly opposite yet profoundly complementary paths!”

Precisely because of this—

Should one side defeat the other, the victor would dominate all.

By harnessing the creation of an entire realm to perfect one’s own Dao, she gains overwhelming cosmic fortune during the transition from mid-martial to high-martial world—fortune sufficient to defy heaven and alter fate!

Huh~

Destiny’s power remained overwhelmingly dominant; she continuously absorbed the principles and rules of all beings—including Li Hanyi—to strengthen herself, a terrifying force akin to an administrator holding the world’s permissions.

Yet even within the realm of hacks, there are deeper hacks.

At this critical moment, Li Hanyi, through sudden enlightenment, frantically absorbed insights from the chat group’s 【Realistic Simulation】 function—countless versions of herself battling destiny, gaining understanding of this path, so opposite yet complementary to her own…

The two most opposing yet mutually reinforcing paths, propelled by the power of enlightenment, forcefully pushed Li Hanyi toward a higher level!

At this moment, Li Hanyi did not know that two great beings were quietly observing her; she only felt the violent transformation within herself.

The true qi within her body—no, it was now true yuan—rushed through her meridians with the roar of a mountain flood and tidal wave.

The Iron Horse and Ice River sword, once an ordinary mortal blade, now glowed with a new hue, bearing the unfathomable mystery of an era’s transformation.

“Destiny!”

She drew a deep breath, her expression solemn, her beautiful eyes blazing with radiant light, her hair flowing like tassels—her sword, her principle, had fully ignited!

She would use the destiny before her to fully validate her own Dao—

Severing heavenly destiny, mastering the heart of heaven, she would replace destiny with her own sword principle, making her Dao the eternal, universally revered truth for all under heaven.
