Through the Chat Group connection, Hermes watched the adorable little girl tenderly, eating the rainbow pudding in front of him one spoonful at a time with a feeling of immense happiness.
With a single thought, a flash of Pure Beauty's rainbow light flickered by as he added a layer of protection to little Elq's 'home'.
After a brief hesitation, his gaze finally turned away for the time being.
Whether it was taking the little girl away from this world or preparing to do something else, now was not the right time.
Furthermore...
He felt that the avatar he had split off had finally arrived at Little Garden.
Meanwhile, within the Chat Group.
Kudou Asuka: "A Chat Group that links the myriad heavens and worlds?"
Kudou Asuka: "It seems like a place just as interesting as this paradise of gods and Buddhas, 'Little Garden'."
Kudou Asuka: "But before that, are there any friends in the Chat Group who can fly? Come and pick me up!"
Kudou Asuka: "Image.jpg."
At this moment, Kudou Asuka took a deep breath, doing her best to adjust her posture high in the air. She caught a perfect angle and took a high-altitude falling selfie, sending it directly to the Chat Group.
Just as she accepted the invitation to Little Garden, the Chat Group followed immediately. This really was a double surprise.
The thing is, can someone come and save me?
Lumine: "...I almost forgot about you."
Lumine: "Strange, you're clearly a youthful and beautiful girl, so why does it feel like your presence is so low?"
Lumine: "I was just preoccupied with Elq's business and almost forgot you."
Chen Nan: "@Kudou Asuka, there's no need for us to go over. Someone on your side will come to receive you."
Kudou Asuka: "..."
Kudou Asuka: "Well, I did land safely and didn't turn into a pile of mush. I think... I think I see a bunny girl?"
Lumine: "That's Black Rabbit, a famous Little Garden noble and the most beloved dependent of Indra."
Lumine: "She's a genuine Four-Digit deity."
Li Hanyi: "Little Garden? The world where the Gift: Water Tree I drew is located?"
Traveler: "I seem to remember it being called the paradise of Shura gods and Buddhas?"
Traveler: "The one where you can participate in Gift Games and seize prizes using your own martial power, wisdom, and knowledge?"
Traveler: "This world sounds very exciting. Should I, the Traveler, go over there and test the waters for you?"
Recalling the Admin's previous explanation of this world, Traveler felt the power of the Path of Trailblaze within her body beginning to stir.
Hermes: "...That won't be necessary."
Hermes: "I have received an invitation from the Halloween Queen and have already arrived in Little Garden."
Hermes: "Wait until I've scouted out the situation before you all come over."
Ignoring the wailing and howling in the Chat Group, Hermes closed the chat interface and surveyed the current situation with interest.
"So this is the so-called Little Garden?"
After stepping into Little Garden, Hermes... no, Yuanshi Tianzun, felt quite surprised by this place.
That's right. After thinking it over, Hermes had decided to send the Yuanshi avatar here.
There was no intense wariness from the Boundless Multiverse Heavenly Dao, nor its constant gaze.
When he stepped into this place, there was only a magnificent will that seemed to send an inquiry out of routine; other than that, there was nothing else.
"What an incredibly open world!"
Although he felt the defenses of this world were truly a bit too lax, Yuanshi Tianzun still couldn't help but feel a flicker of goodwill toward this world.
"This is the Upper Layer of Little Garden. Welcome."
A crisp and moving voice appeared beside Hermes at some unknown point, elegantly replying to Hermes's reflective question.
"I, the Halloween Queen, have been waiting here for a long time."
Yuanshi Tianzun showed no expression of surprise toward the newcomer. He turned his head to see a young girl with gorgeous long blonde hair and emerald green eyes. At this moment, a hint of doubt flickered in her eyes as she observed him slightly.
Was this person really the same Cosmic Truth who had communicated with her last time?
Why did it feel like he was a completely different person?
Moreover, he was even more unfathomable... "You may call me Yuanshi."
Yuanshi nodded slightly in greeting to the blonde Queen before him.
"Please wait a moment, Queen. Let me authenticate my spiritual rank first, then we can catch up."
"Mhm, please proceed as you wish."
After receiving a nod from the Halloween Queen, Yuanshi Tianzun finally responded to the Little Garden Central Will.
"Then, let me see what kind of spiritual rank I can obtain here!"
Simultaneously, Yuanshi Tianzun already felt a magnificent and great will looking toward him.
What an interesting Hakoniwa Center... Yuanshi Tianzun silently evaluated the level of the Hakoniwa Center, and it was somewhat beyond his expectations.
This power actually had a slight taste of Multiverse Truth; it actually belonged to the weak multiverse level!
In other words, the power of the Hakoniwa Center was actually on the same level as the current Pure Beauty Hermes!
This was quite startling.
Frankly speaking, Yuanshi Tianzun believed the scale of this multiverse was not much inferior to the Sea of Trees Multiverse where he was born.
However, one must know...
Little Garden itself cannot represent this entire infinite multiverse. At most, it just observes a few more worlds.
But no matter how many there are, it's impossible to exceed ten percent of the entire multiverse!
It can only be considered a unified consciousness of an ultimate truth within this multiverse, far from being enough to represent the entire multiverse.
Under such circumstances, it could actually achieve the weak multiverse level?
"It's simply a fantasy!"
Yuanshi Tianzun marveled.
Despite having such a small area—not counting those Grotto-Heavens and Sumeru Mustard Seed worlds opened by gods and Buddhas—on the surface, the area of Little Garden was only about as large as the surface area of a star!
Yet it miraculously maintained the observation of infinite worlds and pushed the power of the Hakoniwa Center to the weak multiverse level... The mysteries contained within even made Yuanshi Tianzun sigh in admiration.
This was something that even Pure Beauty Hermes had been unable to achieve for a time.
Yet, relying solely on a group of Cosmic Truths and Authority God-Kings of this world, they had actually managed to create such a great wonder!
"Strange, why has the Hakoniwa Center's observation lasted so long?"
The Halloween Queen frowned slightly. She noticed that the 'gaze' of the Hakoniwa Center was becoming increasingly intense. That gaze representing 'observation' seemed about to condense the ultimate rules representing the Multiverse Will above their heads.
This indicated that the Hakoniwa Center was experiencing violent fluctuations. The other Two-Digits would likely discover the commotion here very soon.
Yuanshi Tianzun ignored the Halloween Queen's reaction. Within his eyes, an 'Ancestral Qi' that pierced through eternal time and space was interacting with the Little Garden Central Will.
That was a corner of Pure Beauty Hermes's essence.
