Their commission was suspicious.

"With these adventurers from Paradise, humanity in this world might gain the upper hand in the war against Gastrea, but completely eradicating Gastrea might be difficult unless an exceptionally powerful individual intervenes," Chen Luo said.

"Hopefully they can pull themselves together. If they're too disappointing, I might have to restart the world in a while and just quit the game to settle the score," the world consciousness said.

Some games will immediately calculate your score after you exit, and the calculation method used by the world consciousness is naturally the same.

After the settlement, the world will naturally be restarted.

"In a while... how long do you mean?"

"A few hundred years, perhaps."

"..."

Chen Luo gained a deeper understanding of the sense of time in world consciousness.

"Yukari Yakumo, do you want to guess how many Paradise Coins each Paradise Adventurer responsible for expanding outwards near a human settlement can provide me per hour?" Chen Luo suddenly asked.

"...I don't really want to guess." Yukari Yakumo knew that Chen Luo was about to show off his skills again.

"Nearly ten thousand. And that's just my share."

Damn it!

A human settlement can generate 1 Paradise Coins per hour. The dark bullet world has countless human settlements. How many Paradise Coins can Chen Luo earn in a day?

Chen Luoke deserves to die.

"Unfortunately, these Gastrea are just too fast. Sometimes my adventurers can defeat them, but they still manage to escape. After all, the forest is a good place to run away and hide," Chen Luo said, looking at the large forest below.

"Stop showing off, stop showing off. Speaking of which, I helped you fabricate the new Gastrea law, shouldn't you give me some reward?"

"Ahem, let's go. The new Gastrea Law is about to be announced to the world. Let's go see how everyone reacts at the Tokyo bill launch." Without saying another word, Chen Luo pulled open a gap and ran inside.

"Hey, wait a minute, I spent three whole days compiling this new law, aren't you going to give me any reward? Even if I didn't get any credit, I still put in the effort." Yakumo Yukari also opened a gap and teleported over with Chen Luo.

"But didn't you say it only took half a day?"

"Can't I just admit I was being stubborn?"

"But I always feel that what you're saying now is the truth."

"...Believe it or not, I'll burst into tears right here!"

"Oh, really? If you can really burst into tears for me, I'll give you 1000 gold coins."

"Are you sick in the head?"

"But I really want to see it. How about I help you?"

"No need! Sister... how about I give you a smile? A hundred amusement park coins will be enough for me."

"Not very good."

"So how many Paradise Coins do you think my sister's body is worth?"

"As for monster meat... the market price is 10 yuan per pound. Since it's the meat of a sage monster, 10 Paradise Gold Coins per pound isn't out of the question."

"I don't want to ask why the topic has turned to how much monster meat costs per pound. I just want to ask... what kind of meat costs 10 yuan per pound?" Yakumo Yukari said with a gloomy face.

"..."

"Don't tell me it's pork."

"..."

"Chen Luo, don't run away!"

Chapter 1645 Soulfire Punishment Roulette: One Day ~ Five Days? No, it's All!

"Why? Why are the cursed children so easily forgiven? If it weren't for them, we wouldn't have been burned for three days and three nights!"

"That's it!"

"I saw with my own eyes that when everyone was immobilized, a Gastrea appeared and swallowed it whole, and those Moth-chasing enforcers didn't do anything about it! Is there any justice in this world? Is there no law?"

"They are a bunch of demons! Demons, get out of Tokyo!"

"...So, this is what you all really think?" Chen Luo raised an eyebrow, looking at the enthusiastic, crazed haters of the Cursed Child.

"..." The Holy Emperor standing beside Chen Luo fell silent.

The Holy Emperor found it hard to believe that these words came from the mouths of people who had been burning for three days. How stubborn they must be!

The Holy Emperor originally thought that the three days of burning soul fire would awaken them and make them realize that it was the hard work of the ordinary cursed children that allowed them to live peacefully in the city.

The Holy Emperor thought that those who had experienced three days of turmoil should be able to understand this matter, but the Holy Emperor was wrong.

The Holy Emperor underestimated human malice.

The new Gastrea Law, which the Holy Emperor and Yakumo Yukari worked together to perfect, is being implemented quite smoothly today. Leaders of every country and region have all agreed to this new Gastrea Law and are enforcing it as the latest and highest priority law. The rights of the Cursed Children are finally being protected and respected.

Everything is developing in a good direction.

But just as the Holy Emperor finished issuing the decree, Chen Luo and Yakumo Yukari suddenly appeared before him. Chen Luo then said he would take the Holy Emperor to see some good stuff.

Then the Holy Emperor was brought here.

The Holy Emperor knew this place was a press conference held simultaneously with the official press conference. Some members who had been burned by the Soulfire and those who had spent three days hiding in the shelter would be interviewed to gather the latest opinions on the Cursed Child.

The Holy Emperor had actually planned to come here after the official press conference, but who would have thought that the originally harmonious atmosphere of the press conference would completely change after Chen Luo arrived.

When those in the audience realized they had inadvertently spoken the truth, and it was being broadcast live to the world, their faces showed horror as they came to their senses.

What did I just say? How did I just tell the truth?

"Don't panic, everyone." Chen Luo stepped forward to comfort the men and women who had made inflammatory remarks against the cursed son in front of a global broadcast.

"It's understandable that you think this way. I can understand your feelings because, besides you, many of those who were burned by soul fire for three days for various reasons also think this way. It's a common psychological state. So there's nothing you can't tell others." Chen Luo's expression didn't seem to change much, as if he wasn't angry or surprised that these people had spoken the truth.

That makes sense. After all, it was Chen Luo who used the power of the Herald of Knowledge to make them tell the truth, so why would Chen Luo be surprised?

Seeing that Chen Luo's expression hadn't become frightening, everyone at the press conference breathed a sigh of relief.

Back then, Chen Luo ignited the entire world with his own power. Whether it was that terrifying strength or those deeply moving words, they still send shivers down one's spine whenever one recalls them.

"Your Majesty, you should understand now what your task is about to begin. It is a long and arduous journey," Chen Luo said to the Emperor beside him.

Chen Luo's initial persuasion was to make them legally equal to the Cursed Son.

It was no surprise to Chen Luo and Yakumo Yukari that these people still harbored malice towards the Cursed Child. One of them possessed the power to see through people's hearts, and the other was an old monster who had lived for thousands of years. How could they be easily deceived?

The only person deeply moved by these words was the Holy Emperor.

The Holy Emperor must now fully understand the feeling of an idealist who thinks their ideal experiment has actually come true, only to be slapped in the face later.

"Then... what should we do now?"

“Prejudice in people’s hearts is a mountain that is hard to shake. What follows is a long and arduous process. Use your passion to ignite their empathy and make them feel for the cursed child,” Chen Luo said.

"I see... I understand." The Holy Emperor clenched his fist and nodded heavily.

The Holy Emperor understood Chen Luo's meaning: to persistently use his heart to influence those who did not understand the Cursed Son, and to let them know what kind of life the ordinary Cursed Son lived and what he had done for people.

The Holy Emperor now has many thoughts in his mind.

"You're a quick learner, it's good that you understand. Then have your men prepare."

"I will get my men ready as soon as possible to welcome the cursed child and start a new life for them."

"...I didn't mean preparing this."

"Sigh, what are you preparing?"

"Of course, we're preparing to restore order. Didn't I just say? Use enthusiasm to ignite their passion!" Chen Luo looked at the Holy Emperor in surprise, not understanding why the Holy Emperor didn't understand his meaning.

"Wait, do you mean..."

Upon hearing the word "ignite," the Holy Emperor's heart trembled.

"Burn them for three more days! Since they're so stubborn, let's burn them until they understand what it means to be defiant!" Chen Luo said excitedly.

"Again...again?" The Holy Emperor's voice trembled slightly.

Although the Holy Emperor himself was not a victim of the Fire Festival, he deeply understood what the three-day burning of the soul fire had brought to the entire world: endless screams and countless deaths...

Although almost all of those who died were bad people, the chaos caused by the Soul Fire was real.

Factories cannot operate, schools cannot open, government offices cannot function...

“I know what you’re worried about. Aren’t you worried that these burned people, unable to work, will hinder the normal development of modern society? That’s why I told you to have your men prepare. And don’t worry, the members of the Fire Moth will also help you maintain order. I will personally compensate for any losses caused by the chaos.” Chen Luo often considers things very comprehensively, just like now…

Although Chen Luo kept saying that the Puppet Paradise wasn't a charity, now that it had the valuable soul-type energy output of [Experience], the Puppet Paradise had become profitable. For example, Chen Luo could directly sell his [Experience] to the Black Tower.

Even if Black Tower doesn't buy it, someone else will.

While soul-type energies like this do exist in the Collapsed Starry Sky Railway World, no soul-type energy on the market is cheaper than Paradise Coins. Although there are a few minor side effects, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

Moreover, in the Honkai Star Railway world, Void Treasury is quite wealthy.

With the vast wealth of Void Treasury, purchasing daily necessities and supplying the Dark Bullet World would be no problem at all.

The only question now is whether the world's consciousness agrees...

"Quickly, quickly, I want to see rivers of blood!"

Well, whether the world consciousness agrees or not is never the issue.

"No, you can't do this!"

"Three more days? I can't take that!"

Please, please stop!

"You devil!"

Upon hearing Chen Luo's verdict, the press conference erupted into chaos. Arguments, shouts, and pleas filled the air, creating utter confusion – a microcosm of the reactions around the world following Chen Luo's pronouncements.

"Even if you say that, it's no use. It's not like I'd listen to you. But don't worry, those who made minor mistakes have probably had their sins cleansed after the three days of soul fire burning last time, so it won't be your turn this time. Those who will be burned this time are usually the ones who have made a lot of mistakes. Are you relieved now?"

Many of the "representatives" at the press conference remained silent, but many others were still on edge.

But as Chen Luo said, he wouldn't listen to their advice.

“However, since I didn’t consult you last time, I’m going to follow the will of Heaven this time. How long you burn it this time is not up to me, but up to Heaven.” Chen Luo said, taking out a spinning wheel.

On that rotating wheel were written all sorts of numbers: one day, two days, three days... up to five days.

"Here, it's yours." Chen Luo pulled the Holy Emperor to the side of the turntable and gestured for him to spin it.

"Should I do it? Am I really sure I can? This isn't a good idea, is it?"

"It's alright, the outcome won't change anyway." Chen Luo shook his head and continued to stick to his own ideas.

“Okay, fine… but what does ALL mean?” the Holy Emperor asked, pointing to an option on the roulette wheel that was completely different from the others.

The roulette wheel is divided into 6 areas, all of which are almost equal in size, ranging from a minimum of one day to a maximum of five days. But there is one more option besides these five.

"Oh, this means all! That is to say, this time it will last for one day plus two days plus three days plus four days plus five days, a total of 15 days."

"???" The Holy Emperor looked at Chen Luo in disbelief.

The Holy Emperor originally thought that five days was already invincible, but he didn't expect there to be an option even more outrageous than five days.

Fifteen days is a full half month. Being burned by the soul fire for a full half month, who can withstand that?

"Hmm, why are you looking at me? Why are you looking at the spinning wheel?"

"Can I not smoke?" The Holy Emperor's hands were trembling.

"Sure, if you're not going to smoke, then go all in!"

"Fine, I'll smoke."

"Don't be so sad. Don't think that 15 days is the limit of human beings. In fact, there are many golden soul lamps that have been burned for more than a month."

"..." The Holy Emperor did not want to hear Chen Luo's comfort.

Although the Holy Emperor would certainly not be burned by the soul fire, anyone who realized that their careless act would determine the fate of the entire planet would lose their footing.

The more conscientious a person is, the more panicked they become. If you were to ask Kikunojo Tendo to do it, he would probably spin the wheel without hesitation.

Chen Luo stood quietly beside the roulette wheel, watching the Holy Emperor mentally prepare himself.

As the Holy Emperor looked at the crowd at the press conference who were looking at him with expectant eyes, he suddenly felt as if he had shouldered a heavy responsibility.

Oh God, please grant me a stroke of luck.
