Their commission was suspicious.

The bad news: If you choose a position that already has an existing deity, you must first fight that deity and win to obtain the position, and outsiders cannot help you.

Good news: It can be used in other worlds with less competitive pressure.

"Sigh, this spot to become a god is great, but finding a suitable godhood doesn't seem easy."

If all you want is immortality, you can just choose any S-rank godhood, but wouldn't that be a waste?

"How about we talk to Xiao Jiu and see if we can take turns being the Heavenly Emperor, and it's my turn this year?"

Actually, this isn't entirely impossible. Putting aside how deep Xiao Jiu's obsession with the Heavenly Emperor's divine position really is, before using the divine status to challenge the Heavenly Emperor, Chen Luo could first turn Xiao Jiu into a child, then use a gentle head pat to make her stupid, and then lure her with a little lollipop...

You know what, you really can't say, but you might actually be able to trick the Heavenly Emperor into taking the divine position.

"Forget it, I guess I'll just have to go to other worlds and see if there are any suitable godhoods. I'll go to a world with less competition. Let the other gods compete in this world."

The key issue is that Chen Luo can't bring himself to do it. After all, they are acquaintances, and this spot isn't necessarily reserved for the Heavenly Emperor.

"By the way, is the Star God considered a god?" Chen Luo wondered.

So, can a dead star god directly occupy a godhood using a golden spot?

For example, the god of pioneering?

Chapter 1376: My mom dragged me on a blind date with Bai Zhi?

"Lord River God, I'm your fan!"

"Fans, keep your distance and don't suddenly pounce on me," Chen Luo said with a look of disgust.

It's not that Chen Luo is demanding or heartless, but if you saw a burly man, over two meters tall with biceps bigger than your head, running towards you asking for a hug, you'd probably have the same expression as Chen Luo.

"Bajiquan, Iron Mountain Lean!"

Get lost!

"Let me tell you, I can help you make contact with your upper realm, but you can't take advantage of me!"

Chen Luo's punch would have knocked an ordinary person off balance, preventing them from ever seeing the sun again, but for that burly man, it was nothing more than a drop in the ocean.

半神

Derivatives of the Olympian pantheon, a byproduct of bloodline supremacy. However, despite being demigods, the divine bloodlines of these demigods are now extremely rare.

To be fair, this Western concept of bloodline does have a slight advantage. Chen Luo is referring to the competitive advantage at the beginning of the millennium.

Bloodline is an absolute thing; you either have it or you don't. Even if someone has divine bloodlines spanning hundreds of years, they still possess divine bloodlines. This gives them an advantageous position when spiritual energy initially revives. For example, in the first 50 years of spiritual energy revival, demigods and other unconventional cultivators whose bloodlines reign supreme had a significant advantage.

Moreover, these demigod bloodlines not only did not perish due to the end of the Dharma era, but also greatly increased the chances of giving birth to offspring because their bloodlines were dormant. Although this would lead to impure bloodlines after countless generations, there would always be a few bloodlines that reverted to their ancestral form.

This resulted in demigods being more powerful than ordinary gifted individuals at the beginning of the millennium after awakening their bloodlines and additional talents.

But... that's all.

These people's divine bloodline awakens slowly as the spiritual energy recovers, meaning it becomes stronger as the process progresses.

The problem is that cultivators also become stronger as they progress.

In short, these "demigods" are indeed useful, but not very useful; a better talent would be better.

Moreover, the most difficult hurdle for these demigods to overcome in order to maintain their lineage is inbreeding...

After all, the result of inbreeding is that the child is either a genius or a prodigy.

However, things are different with Chen Luo. The Upper Realm has plenty of secret elixirs to accelerate the awakening of bloodline talents. And Chen Luo is currently the only known person capable of transporting resources between the Upper and Lower Realms.

Therefore, the demigods of the Olympian pantheon were the most determined in their search for Chen Luo, although they still couldn't find him.

"If you want me to help you find the Upper or Lower Nether, line up one by one and remember to write down the dimensional coordinates clearly. No cutting in line!"

This time, Chen Luo seems to be more popular than the Investiture of the Gods ceremony.

After all, you can just watch the investiture ceremony and stuff; you know your church is powerful, right?

But if you go to Chen Luo, and you happen to be lucky enough to encounter someone from your upper realm, then you'll have plenty of resources to support you.

If the higher realms are unwilling to support it? Then pretend no one has said anything.

Holding a staff, wearing a silver halo, and with a pair of beautiful wings gently flapping behind her, Sylvia floated in mid-air. Looking at the river god who was surrounded by people, and then at the fact that there was no one else on her side except for the church members, she couldn't help but sigh at the pragmatism of these people.

So realistic!

And wasn't it said that an angelic council would immediately appear after the successful deification? Sylvia waited for a long time but did not hear any instructions or summons from the upper realm.

[Sylvia.]

Suddenly a voice rang in Sylvia's ear, and the halo above her head trembled slightly.

The most distinctive features of Western angels are their halos and wings. Because of this, Western angels who are born with divine gifts usually attach their divine seal to their halos after they become gods.

And now, the notice for the meeting has been issued.

Sylvia sat in her seat, excitedly accepting the summons, and entered the Celestial Conference Room.

Upon entering the Celestial Conference Room, Sylvia saw the figure shrouded in light sitting in the main seat, along with several archangels exuding divine majesty.

However, whether it was Sylvia's imagination or not, she felt that one of the archangels was staring at the halo above her head, and his eyes looked somewhat resentful.

"My divine being," Sylvia said, bowing slightly.

Unlike the Western system, which is similar to a royal court, the hierarchy in Western pantheons, where relationships are maintained through faith, is much more rigid.

After all, even within dynasties there are rebellions, but if believers don't believe in God, then they're truly doomed.

In the East, if you can't stand your divine boss, you can simply quit. In the West, if you dare to quit, you're considered a heretic.

Sylvia was very nervous, because she didn't know what to say.

"Sylvia, you did a great job. I'll have the River God deliver the actual reward later. The more important thing now is to remember to tell the River God after the meeting that he's offline."

"???"

Disconnected?

Is this what you call the more important thing?

......

"Lord River God, the Lord has asked me to remind you that you have disconnected." Sylvia slowly flapped her wings and floated to Chen Luo's side, then said with a rather resentful tone.

Sylvia was having all sorts of wild imaginations when the meeting ended in just half a minute, and the topic of discussion was simply to remind Sylvia to remind Chen Luo to go online.

Receiving subordinates is just work; watching live streams is life, right?

"Huh? Oh. People need to rest, that's really going too far." Chen Luo sighed.

"..."

hateful.

If she didn't know that the river god in front of her was Chen Luo, it would be fine, but as soon as she found out, Sylvia couldn't help but want to punch Chen Luo.

I'm clearly the angel, so why am I treated so ordinary?

hateful!

Compared to Chen Luo, what exactly am I lacking?

Sylvia always felt that if it wasn't because the upper and lower realms could exchange things, then the Lord must have other reasons for being so optimistic about Chen Luo.

The Lord would certainly not have such an attitude because of certain material aspects of life.

The Lord is not so superficial.

So why is that?

Is it because Chen Luo arrived first?

......

"What are you all doing here?" After receiving the coordinates of various worlds from the leaders of different factions, Chen Luo promptly disappeared.

What was Chen Luolai's purpose in this deification ceremony? Wasn't it just to complete his mission? Now that the mission is complete, what is he doing here?

Catching up with old friends? With whom?

According to the official setting, the River God is not familiar with anyone, not even Yvette.

"Of course, they're watching the Investiture of the Gods ceremony."

"I don't think all of you are gathered here to watch the Investiture of the Gods ceremony, especially you, Ye Yunshang. Didn't you say you weren't going to watch the ceremony? Didn't you say you were going to stay home and sleep? Why are you here watching the live stream?"

No one would believe Yukari Yakumo's words.

If Ye Yunshang wanted to watch the Conferred God Ceremony, she could have gone to see it in person. The fact that she's watching the live stream while suffering from a lack of concentration debuffs definitely isn't just because it's being streamed.

"Hey, who knew that besides that troublesome god-consecration ceremony, there was also a reserved event where I could watch you get struck by lightning? If you had told me earlier, I would have gone already," Ye Yunshang said matter-of-factly.

It's certainly fun to see your brothers enjoy themselves, but it's even more fun to see them suffer.

What's so interesting about the investiture ceremony? It's not like I'm being made a god. But Chen Luo's bad luck is genuine.

"...Everyone, go away, go away! You've all finished watching the live stream, are you still planning to watch the replay? Why aren't you going to go and process your memories of the game world? What's so interesting about watching me suffer like this?" Chen Luo said angrily.

Chen Luo knew that the bar's customers were a lot of fun-loving people, but he didn't expect there to be so many, and that they would be so happy to see him suffer misfortune. How pathetic, how lamentable... like fallen leaves drifting by.

Chen Luo really wanted to use a powerful move to gather them all together and shoot them all with his Friendship Revolver.

"Beep beep beep." The people in the bar hadn't left yet when Chen Luo's phone rang, which surprised him, because he hadn't heard his phone ring in a long time.

After seeing the caller ID, Chen Luo gestured for everyone to be quiet.

"Hello, Mom... My young and beautiful mother, what's up with calling now?"

"Lolo has a mother?" Some people in the bar were taken aback.

"You'd better not let Chen Luo hear what you said, or you won't be able to get out of bed for three days."

"No, what I mean is... I'm sorry, I used to think of Chen Luo as some kind of old codger, but even though I know he's not old codger now, I'm used to it."

After glaring fiercely at the group, Chen Luo took out his Friendship Revolver and slammed it on the table.

That's outrageous!

I'm still a child!

"My dear son, I have good news and bad news. Which do you want to hear first?"

"Old Ma... to be honest, I don't want to hear any of them, but since you asked, I'll hear the good news first."

"...Honey, what if he hears the bad news first?" Chen Luo's mother asked.

"Take away his allowance." A male voice rang out from the side.

"Hey, wait, let me hear the bad news first." Although he didn't know what kind of trouble his parents were planning, Chen Luo was prepared to back down for the sake of his allowance.

"The bad news is that your dad and I can't make it back today."

"what?"

I've almost finished setting up the welcome ceremony, and you're telling me you're not coming back?

"What about the good news?"

"I was just kidding! Actually, your dad and I are already at our doorstep."

"Wow... I'll come out to meet you right away." Chen Luo was almost speechless because of his parents.

"Oh, wait, we seem to have come to the wrong house. Hi, beautiful lady, what's your name? Would you be interested in a blind date with my son? My son also lives in this neighborhood. His name is Chen Luo, and he's almost 18 years old now, not far from the legal marriage age." Chen Luo heard his mother's cheerful voice on the other end of the phone.

"???" by Chen Luo.

"No, Mom, what are you doing? How could you get lost in your own house? And don't talk about blind dates with strange girls. How could they possibly agree to it?"

Everyone says Chen Luo is incredibly funny, but Chen Luo thinks he was actually influenced by his mother.

"What? You agreed? That's great! By the way, beautiful lady, what's your name again?"

"Agreed? What the heck?"

Where did this girl come from? How can she be so indecent?!

"Bai Zhi? What a nice name. My dear son, remember to cook for one more person later."

"???"
