Chapter 70: The Beginning of the Unified Timeline!

Three thousand is a figurative number; in the future, whenever a new Star Lord appears and passes the Heavenly Dao’s examination, another new Digital Realm may be opened and governed!

And that planet serving as the world’s core shall become the heart of the vast starry cosmos!

Just as the Box Ting Multiverse’s core is Box Ting .

“Although each Digital Realm is currently small in scale, it will surely grow and strengthen over time…”

Such rapid actions in such a short span—even for someone as powerful as Hermes—left him momentarily dizzy and lightheaded.

“Black Tower!”

After catching his breath, Hermes turned his gaze toward the Black Tower.

“Got it, got it, Hermes—don’t forget Itachi owe me a favor!”

The great Black Tower’s purple eyes narrowed slightly, her lips curling faintly—a future Star God’s favor is exceedingly precious.

With that, the Black Tower’s inner power surged violently; the Authority of the Envoy—Simulation activated at full power, assisting Hermes in his next move.

The nascent world consciousnesses of the three thousand Digital Realms were drawn together by Hermes.

Then—

Using the Black Tower’s Authority of the Envoy—Simulation, he began forcing these world consciousnesses to [simulate] Hermes’s Authority of Astrology’s algorithmic model!

The Authority of Alchemy also operated at full power, fine-tuning and refining this nascent [Digital Mainframe], guiding it toward Hermes’s designed template of a Digital Supercomputer.

The Innate Realm—Perfect World enveloped it, eliminating all possible anomalies during refinement, making it flawless.

Boom!

The nearly completed Digital Supercomputer was merged into the stronghold Hermes had carved within the four-dimensional spacetime.

“My personal supercomputer has finally been preliminarily completed!”

“Box Ting has its Box Ting Core—I now have my Digital Mainframe. I must give it a fitting name…”

Hermes paused in thought, recalling the recently retrieved Teyvat, then smiled faintly and pointed at the newborn Digital Mainframe: “From this day forward, Itachi are the host of the three thousand Digital Realms—and my personal supercomputer: the Maintainer of Heavenly Principle!”

Maintainer of Heavenly Principle? A fine name—I claim it!

Never mind anything else, Phanes truly has excellent taste in naming!

Maintainer of Heavenly Principle?

Just hearing it gives off serious prestige!

Moreover, in this world, I am the Heavenly Principle—so naming my personal supercomputer this is only fitting!

Of course, this also embodies Hermes’s hopes.

He hopes it will become the one who upholds him as the Heavenly Principle, the one who sustains his ceaseless journey forward!

“Not easy at all!”

Hermes wiped away sweat that didn’t actually exist on his brow; though slightly overtaxed, a faint smile of satisfaction still crossed his face.

With the Wengfaluosi still out of reach, Hermes, growing impatient, finally poured his heart into redesigning and crafting the current super-digital-computer blueprint.

And now, at last, he had completed this monumental construction.

“Your actions are truly extravagant.”

The Black Tower’s face had paled slightly, yet she seized the moment to frantically observe and analyze every technique revealed in Hermes’s sequence of actions—

The Digital tech tree, the deep mysteries of the Star Path, Hermes’s energy theory, the dimensional ascension technology of dimension science…

Each of these was a super-technology the Black Tower had never touched before.

Hermes merely watched her with a smile, utterly unconcerned that she might learn them.

The stronger her abilities, the more capable she becomes in her duties, doesn’t it?

The ultimate beneficiary is still Hermes himself!

At that very moment—

The fusion of Blue Star and Teyvat had reached its final stage.

“Boom!”

“Boom!”

The brand-new planet trembled violently, thunderous roars echoing endlessly.

Countless star-ethereal gases, dense as solid matter, flowed from the void, swirling into the newborn planet.

The world’s ascension had begun.

An unimaginably concentrated stream of star power, transformed by the logic of the Heavenly Dao compiled by Hermes as the world’s editor, flowed into the planet’s core.

Providing nourishment for its ascension.

Then—

Centered on this planet, the heart of the world, countless star powers interwove and flowed with the Digital Realms governed and stationed by the Star Lords.

Infinite laws invisibly reinforced the world’s core in return.

Causing the newborn planet to ascend continuously in its tier.

At this moment, all Digital Realms began to hum.

Under this peculiar resonance of laws, these Digital Realms diverged from the Digital World where Yagami Taichi resided, developing entirely different trajectories.

Different worlds, different evolutions—this is normal.

Regaining his composure, Hermes smiled and connected to the newborn Digital Mainframe—the Digital Supercomputer—Maintainer of Heavenly Principle.

“This feeling…”

Hermes’s eyes widened slightly; a sensation of near-omnipotence surged within him—the illusion born from his computational power doubling, doubling, and doubling again.

Hermes, fully aware of this illusion, quickly regained his calm.

Then he gazed into the void—and fell silent.

He had discovered the Time River of the Honkai Universe!

Yes.

The cosmic structure of the Honkai Universe is truly bizarre!

The entire Honkai Universe has no unified timeline.

Only the Star Gods can serve as the universal temporal reference standard.

That is, the absurd timekeeping method known as Amber Era.

“Truly a tremendous opportunity!”

Hermes hadn’t expected that, right after temporarily concluding his various plans, the Honkai Universe would gift him such a stunning surprise!

In a xianxia world, even those who claim to be Immortal Emperors at the path’s end cannot manipulate timelines at will—

This is called the restriction of great karmic force.

But the Honkai Universe is different!

Even the End Star God claims to walk backward through time—He can roam freely within this abstract concept of time.

Clearly, the temporal logic of this universe offers far too many manipulable possibilities.

Hermes re-entered the four-dimensional spacetime.

He attempted to link with his infinite past selves and boundless future selves, striving to unify the timeline—to achieve eternal freedom across infinite spacetime within this grand universe…

“As expected—failure.”

Hermes showed no emotional fluctuation; if unifying the timeline were this easy, Great Luo Immortals would be everywhere.

If it were this easy, wouldn’t all the Star Gods have long since spilled their Paths beyond this tiny galactic sphere, becoming a different kind of [Sage]?
