Their commission was suspicious.

"It's out of curiosity. After all, I've never seen an underground city before."

"...You're here to register as an adventurer, right? I'll be your adventurer advisor. One of you just became an adventurer and recklessly ran to the 5th floor, and the other hasn't even become an adventurer yet but has already run to the 5th floor." Eina looked at Bell and then at Chen Luo, feeling that neither of them would be easy to deal with.

"Actually, no, I'm not here to register as an adventurer, I'm here to register as a member of a clan," Chen Luo said, shaking his head.

"A clan? Alas, are you a god?" Bell, standing beside him, was quite surprised.

"As you can see, doesn't it look like it?" Chen Luo looked himself up and down at his clothes.

"Oh, it doesn't seem like it. So what about now?" After a moment of surprise, Chen Luo took out a halo and put it on his head.

“No, there’s no need to prove your identity like that. There are actually quite a few gods in Orario, but it seems that gods are not allowed to enter the dungeon, right?” Eina was actually concerned about something else.

These days, deities are not uncommon. You could grab any street vendor selling sweet potato balls and they might be a deity.

Since the first god descended a thousand years ago, gods have come down from the heavens one after another to play a management game called Dungeon.

That's right. For gods, experiencing life in the human world is no different from playing a game.

Gods are a group of immortal and transcendent beings, but because the heavenly realm is too boring and the mortal realm has more entertainment, many gods have come to the human world to form their own clans.

Some deities have large retinues and enjoy a life of luxury and wealth, while others have only a few scattered members who struggle to make ends meet.

For example, Bell, who is next to Eina, is the only member of her clan.

Therefore, it's not impossible to encounter a god working on the street in the game "Orari".

Of course, all gods are worthy of respect.

"I didn't demonstrate my power in the dungeon, so it's fine." Chen Luo waved his hand.

In fact, gods can go to dungeons, as long as they don't use their divine power and thus be discovered by the dungeons.

Just like Hestia, the goddess who is the protagonist Bell, once sneaked into the dungeon, but did not cause a riot.

Later, this guy was forced to use the power of the gods to attract the attention of the dungeon... which led to the 18th floor, which was originally a safe floor, being attacked by the floor master of the 17th floor.

The dungeon's hatred for the gods can be said to have reached its extreme.

"Besides, I've already gone and come back, I can't keep pursuing the past, can I? Even if I wanted to investigate the mistakes, I need to have a family first. So, can you help me register a family?" Chen Luo asked.

“Of course, please wait here for a moment while I get the form,” Eina said, then walked towards the front desk.

A short while later, Eina returned, holding a form in her hand.

"First, may I ask what your divine name is?" Eina asked.

Although gods cannot use their divine power in the mortal realm, and would be sent back to the divine realm if they violated the rules and used it without authorization, gods' physical abilities in the mortal realm are usually no different from those of ordinary people.

However, since different gods preside over different things, even if they cannot use divine power at will, they will be particularly good at certain abilities.

“Hermes!” Chen Luo said almost without hesitation.

The mythological prototype of the river god is actually Hermes.

Therefore, Chen Luo's answer was perfectly correct!

“My God, please don’t joke.” Eina pushed up her glasses.

"Hermes now has his own retinue."

Moreover, Eina had met Hermes before.

"Damn it, I didn't fool them!" Chen Luo looked extremely annoyed.

“My Lord, please answer carefully, for this will determine the very foundation of your clan’s existence,” Eina sighed.

It's normal for some gods to like to play around, so Eina wasn't surprised that Chen Luo used someone else's name.

"Alright, I am the River God, and my name is Chen Luo."

“Chen Luo… that name is a bit hard to pronounce. Your Majesty, are you sure this is your real name?” Eina asked doubtfully.

Given Chen Luo's "serious past," the possibility that he might lie again is not low.

It does feel quite strange to suddenly have an Eastern name among a bunch of Western names.

Just like how, among a bunch of names like Gou Sheng, Fu Gui, and Tie Zhu, the name Astolorgis Mona Megistus suddenly appears, it would leave people feeling completely bewildered.

"Really, I'm not lying to you. I swear on the halo above my head."

"Okay. Do you have your own designed clan emblem?" Eina asked after filling out the form.

"Have."

At this point, Chen Luoke was no longer sleepy.

Chen Luo quickly produced his Paradise Mark—a relatively complex mark formed by adding the Puppeteer's Mark to Alicia's True Self Imprint.

"Although it may be presumptuous, your gender is..."

Some deities are of indistinguishable gender.

"male."

"Age? This is not a required field; you may answer as appropriate."

"17 is old."

Although Eina didn't believe it, she filled it in anyway.

17 years old? You're kidding me.

"Family tendencies... Besides those familias that fight in dungeons, there are actually many support familias, such as those that specialize in blacksmithing, medicine making, and brewing."

"That's suicide!"

"Hmm?" Eina looked up.

"Just kidding, it's a battle."

"Okay, the basic information is almost complete. Please check it. If it's correct, please leave your divine power mark on it." Eina handed the form to Chen Luo.

"Okay!" Chen Luo casually left the mark of the River God's power and returned the form.

"Please wait a moment while I submit it to the back office for verification," Eina said before hurrying away.

"Lord River God, you..."

"Just call me Chen Luo," Chen Luo interrupted Bell.

"So, Chen Luo, you also just came down from the Heavenly Realm?"

"As you can see."

"So, do you have a partner you'd like to marry?"

"Not yet... I think you're quite good. Would you like to become my retainer?"

"No, no, thank you. Our clan's deity only recently descended from the heavens, and I'm his only member. To be honest, when I first heard you were planning to register as an adventurer, I was thinking of inviting you to join our Hestia Familia," Bell said apologetically.

"Hestia? It's that girl." Chen Luo feigned surprise.

"But I remember that she didn't just come down from the heavens, right? But given her personality, it's quite possible that she went to other people's homes to freeload, and then only formed her own clan after other gods couldn't stand it anymore and kicked her out."

“Uh…” Bell wanted to refute it, but couldn’t, because the truth seemed to be true.

"Hestia really has no foresight. After seeing all the other gods descend to Earth one by one, she waited until the very last wave to descend. By the time she came down, Orario's market had probably already been completely taken over by the other gods."

"..." Although Bell really wanted to remind him that you came down later than Lady Hestia, he held back because Chen Luo was a god.

"Lord River God, this is your clan's insignia. Your current scroll level is I. You can increase your level by increasing the scroll's influence in Orari and exploring higher-level dungeons. However, the higher the clan's level, the more taxes you need to pay," Eina kindly reminded her.

"And if possible, please try not to let your clansmen fight too hard, okay? Of course, this is just my personal suggestion."

To the gods, the mortal realm is a playground, but to adventurers, they only have one life.

If a god is in danger, he can simply use his divine power and be sent back to the divine realm, but adventurers don't have such a life-saving charm.

"Don't worry... that's probably impossible."

After all, when Chen Luo's puppets went crazy, even Chen Luo himself felt terrified.

The average number of deaths for a doll has now reached 3, and the average number of deaths for the top 100 million dolls is an astonishing 15. It is probably impossible to expect these dolls, who are used to dying, to take risks cautiously.

"Ugh?"

"After all, I've always had a laissez-faire attitude towards my Familia, and my Familia will likely inherit my traits... growing stronger through killing. So it's probably impossible to prevent them from taking risks. If you're still not giving up, Miss, you can help persuade my Familia, provided you can convince them. Eina, right? I'll have my Familia come to you as many as possible. There might be a lot of people, please don't mind."

"Don't worry, one can come, and I'll persuade one to give up!" Eina genuinely didn't want adventurers to take too many risks and end up losing their lives.

But becoming stronger through killing... is this really the work of a river god?

Furthermore... divine traits shouldn't be inherited by the clan, right?

Isn't that cheating?

……

Eina watched Chen Luo and Bell leave together, because Bell had casually asked if he wanted to come to her house for a visit, and Chen Luo had agreed.

Eina turned around to go back to the guild to continue her work, only to find that an old man had been standing next to her all along.

"Lord Uranus, what brings you here?" Eina asked in surprise.

“The guild just brought a menace into Orario and gave him legal credentials, so of course I had to come and see.” Uranus looked at Chen Luo in the distance, and then turned and walked into the guild after Chen Luo turned and waved.

Under normal circumstances, Uranus wouldn't appear; he wouldn't even appear if the sky were to fall.

But the current situation is even more absurd than the sky falling down, and Uranus couldn't resist coming out.

"Oh no, did I do something wrong?"

"You didn't do anything wrong, after all, the guild is neutral. However, your workload will increase in the coming days."

"What kind of deity is this river god? What has he done?"

"He doesn't have to do anything; his mere existence is enough to cause collective panic among the gods. You can call him the River God, or you can call him... the Shepherd of the Gods."

……

"Chen, Chen Luo?!" Hestia, who had just finished work and was waiting at home for her only family member, Bell, to return, was about to greet him joyfully when she noticed another person following behind him, and this person...

"Help!!!" Hestia collapsed onto the bed, trembling uncontrollably.

Hestia, the goddess of the hearth and also the goddess of sacred fire, is one of the three virgin goddesses in Greek mythology. In a world often associated with chaotic private lives, she is a rare exception.

"Hehehe! Hestia, it's been so long! I've missed you terribly!"

"Get away from me! Help! Someone's trying to kill me!"

"...Can you stop being so timid? I haven't even taken out the God-Slaying Whip yet, and you're already this scared. If I take it out, won't you be so frightened that you cry on the spot?" Chen Luo scratched his head.

In the world consciousness's identity setting, Chen Luo is quite famous among the gods in this world, but not for a good reason.

Chen Luo: River God, wielding the God-Slaying Whip and the Heavenly Lock, hence also known as the Shepherd of the Gods—the one who shepherds the gods (Chen Luo chases after the gods with the God-Slaying Whip, while the gods run ahead). The ultimate internal war god among the gods!

He liked to shift the blame onto Hermes when he got into trouble, saying that he was destined to be with Hermes.

It is both a deity and a human being, with an extremely complex composition!

The good news is that he often disappears suddenly, but the bad news is that every time he reappears after disappearing, he becomes even more terrifying! As a result, the gods even suspect that he can travel to other worlds.

In short, it is a god that is quite terrifying to other gods.

"I... I'm not scared, I'm just so surprised." Hestia mustered her courage and spoke her first words to Chen Luo in a voice that sounded like she was about to cry.

Chapter 1583 Chen Luo: Either you let me cheat, or I'll scatter all your ashes!

"Uh... this great god?" Bell looked at Chen Luo, who was visiting his home, and hesitated to speak.

When Bell brought Chen Luo back, he never expected that his god would react so strongly to Chen Luo, to the point that he was almost crying. So what exactly did this god do in the heavenly realm?

It's called a home, but because they're broke, Bell and Hestia's current residence is just the basement of an abandoned church.

Fortunately, Bell has been working hard to earn money to support his family recently, and he has already made considerable progress. He has now managed to bring a god home... although his own god seems to be extremely, very resistant to this outcome.

"Here, this is my gift to you." Chen Luo tossed a few magic stones to Bell.

"Ah, thank you." Bell hurriedly took the magic stones.

“Bell, don’t accept it…” Hestia exclaimed.

Generally speaking, those who accept gifts from Chen Luo often end up having considerable entanglements with him.

"Huh? What's wrong?"
