Their commission was suspicious.

If Chen Luo were to go to the Little Garden World now, he would definitely be called a Demon King.

"Snap!" Chen Luo snapped his fingers, and a black flame flickered at his fingertips. With the appearance of this flame, the shadows and darkness within the star raft where Chen Luo sat began to stir, as if boiling over.

A nameless sense of panic, like a plague, began to spread rapidly. In just a moment, the people on the Immortal Ship once again felt that heart-pounding sensation, as if they were being immersed in countless darkness.

What terrified them even more was that even though they were filled with extreme fear, their bodies seemed to be completely out of their control, calmly carrying out their tasks. It was as if their bodies and souls had created a false reversal, and a sense of incongruity quickly overwhelmed them.

A calm body and a terrified soul seem incompatible, yet this phenomenon, which seems to defy the rules of this world, has indeed occurred.

The entire celestial ship is like a tightly connected machine, with everyone busy with their own affairs. However, if viewed from the perspective of the soul, the celestial ship now seems to have fallen into a chaotic dance of demons.

As this sense of panic swept across the entire immortal ship like a plague, everyone was filled with extreme fear, and the black flame at Chen Luo's fingertip danced even more joyfully.

"Snapped!"

The snap of fingers rang out again, and the panic that had gripped the entire celestial ship receded like a tide. After a moment of disorientation, everyone continued with their own business, as if the fear they had just experienced was merely a fleeting illusion.

No one cares about those illusions; the task at hand is definitely more important, isn't it?

In the silence, the entire celestial ship seemed to have forgotten something important.

Did anything unusual happen on the celestial ship just now?

No, right?

Even the records that had documented the overwhelming darkness in text or electronic devices were distorted into other forms of information without anyone noticing.

However, the people on the Immortal Ship did not suffer a complete loss. Those who had been greatly shaken by the lingering fear caused by the endless darkness and even had signs of entering the demonic realm were now in an unexpectedly good mood.

I'm in great health and have a great appetite.

The lingering signs of the demonic spirit gradually fading away.

Even the soldiers who had become frenzied and transformed into demonic beings were much calmer. They seemed to have lost the will to pursue any soldier who brushed past them.

This sense of peace applies not only to the bountiful creatures, but also to the out-of-control golden figures (robots, not living beings).

"This isn't the Herrscher of Corruption's ability at all! Ugh!" Chen Luo gripped the small black ball tightly in his hand.

Be careful not to crush it, or the entire immortal ship will be doomed.

"I know."

Chen Luo looked down at the small black ball in his hand.

This is the condensation of darkness in the hearts of countless people throughout the Immortal Ship, including emotions such as fear and unease.

Without Chen Luo's restraint, ordinary Immortal Ship people would probably fall into demonic possession simply by looking directly at this small black ball.

This is the power of new erosion—a great power!

Chen Luo did not examine each of the corrosive powers one by one, not because he did not want to, but because there were too many.

When the list was expanded, the dense array of ways to apply the powers gave Chen Luo a headache.

So far, it has manifested itself in spreading fear and other negative emotions like a plague, controlling others through this negativity, influencing their memories, bodies, and even souls, manipulating shadows, and so on.

As long as the other party still has human emotions, they will have negative emotions. With negative emotions, they will be affected by the erosion ability. Once affected, they will become pawns in Chen Luo's hands, and they will not be able to perceive this change themselves.

These are the standard abilities of a mastermind behind the scenes.

The countless condensations of darkness and negative emotions from the hearts of the immortal ship's inhabitants in Chen Luo's hand could be tossed onto the immortal ship, and Chen Luo could dye the entire ship with his own color.

After being dyed with Chen Luo's color again, the immortal boat became Chen Luo's property, whether it was a living or non-living thing... This power is the retained power of erosion.

That dark fire seemed capable of refining everything...

"I'm warning you, if you dare to unleash this ability completely in my world, believe me, I'll smash your head in!"

The voice of world consciousness rang in Chen Luo's ears.

"I didn't believe it... but now I know."

Chen Luo also understood why the world consciousness was so agitated.

Because the world's consciousness, after only a brief contact, realized the true nature of Chen Luo's abilities.

Using all things related to darkness, shadows, and negative emotions to control people or things is just a scrap of his corrosive power. His real purpose is to liberate all order, make the whole world chaotic, and then slowly devour the whole world.

Disorder manifests in ways including but not limited to confusion of abilities, confusion of physical laws, and even confusion of concepts.

"But if we change our perspective, the opposite of disorder is order. If we can suppress the disorder in the geographical area that I can currently cover to the minimum, or make a small modification... wouldn't that be order? For example, setting the rules for the world."

"It can be used to solve the problem of certain people's abilities not being suitable for other worlds."

"Furthermore, since it can collect all negative emotions and darkness, wouldn't that reduce the incidence of demonic possession on the Immortal Ship?"

"Wouldn't this allow us to make a fortune in raw gems?"

Chen Luo still remembers that the most criticized thing in the bar was actually the inability to adapt to the environment after going to other worlds.

This leads to a situation where someone might want something in that world, but is afraid to go there.

For example, Yukari Yakumo's visit to the Little Garden World was a significant event, and the impact on her at first was definitely not small.

Although we now have the Dimensional Ocean, some worlds still have value for exploration.

"...How did you develop this obsessive-compulsive personality towards raw gems? For the sake of raw gems, you've turned a top-tier dark-element talent into a healing and support tree? Wouldn't it have been better to just throw in a healing talent in the first place?"

This new SSS-tier talent doesn't seem like a good thing, and it's not good to use either. However, this talent is truly exceptional in its ability to corrupt and spread calamity, and its scope of power is extremely broad!

"You can't say that. I may not use such a special ability, but I can't be without it. The only regrettable thing is that this talent doesn't seem to be purely offensive... although it does have offensive methods."

"..."

The world's consciousness may not be able to judge how Chen Luo uses his talent, but the fact that Chen Luo thinks this way is a good thing for the world.

The world consciousness of the Honkai world is deeply aware of this.

If Chen Luo is not properly disciplined and abuses his talent, he may cause great harm to the world.

Chen Luo's control ability already had the potential to infiltrate the world to a small extent. If left unchecked, the puppet's activity would erode the world. Now, he's gained a professional ability to erode the world...

Thinking about it this way, it's fortunate that Chen Luo is a bit stingy with raw stones, but not too enthusiastic about other things.

Otherwise, wouldn't you be in big trouble?

Chapter 1834 Oh no! Jingliu's demonic form has turned into a cute, whiny one!

"My benefactor, let's disembark here." Tingyun piloted the star raft to a port.

"Although I usually live a secluded life, I still recognize what my territory looks like. What road are you leading me down? Is this where the Grand Diviner's Office is located?" Fu Xuan asked, one hand on his hip.

"Oh dear, please calm down, Grand Diviner. The Qiongyi has malfunctioned. Locating the entrance to the cave is no easy task. I also want to get things done quickly, but this is the only place where the Star Chariot can dock right now."

"Look, Chang Le Tian. It's obviously a safe place. Let's just walk a little further." Ting Yun looked at the street in the distance.

Changletian is a well-known shopping destination in the game.

"Hmph?" Fu Xuan snorted coldly, not believing Ting Yun's one-sided story, but instead began to calculate.

"The hexagrams rise and fall, the Dui and Kan trigrams are firm, like a boat struggling to move forward, stuck in the mud..."

"I've heard that the Immortal Ship has some kind of divine divination skill, but how come this is just gesturing with your fingers? It's the same as counting like me?" March 7th whispered.

"You count with your fingers?" Xing looked at March 7 in surprise.

"Why? Just give it a little help. It's a waste not to use all 10 fingers!" March 7 muttered softly.

"Chen Luo, what are you thinking about that's been making you daydreaming about?" March 7th suddenly patted Chen Luo on the shoulder.

"Did you need something from me?" Chen Luo asked, fiddling with the small black ball in his hand.

"Chen Luo, don't you also know how to divine?"

"Yes."

"Can you use your fingers to calculate like Miss Fu Xuan?"

"I do know how... Why are you asking this?"

"Hehe, I just wanted to learn a couple of tricks, didn't I?"

“If you really want to divine your fortune, I can lend you the Luo Shu. Although I think it’s faster for you to ask me than for you to divine it yourself.” A tortoise shell appeared in Chen Luo’s hand.

"I don't want to ask you. You're always the one causing trouble! Don't you know that?" March 7th rolled her eyes at Chen Luo.

"...Do you still need the Luoshu?"

"Please, please, Chen Luo."

[Ding! You have a new request!]

"Tch." Chen Luo flipped his hand, and a tortoise shell appeared in his palm, which he then tossed to March 7.

"How do I use it?" March 7th asked after taking the tortoise shell.

[Ding! Mission complete!]

"This is the instruction manual." Chen Luo took out a thick book and handed it to March 7.

"Wow, this must be at least 100 pages long, right? So many?"

"...This is just the table of contents."

"Here's your thing back, goodbye." Now, looking at this tortoise shell again on March 7th, it's like looking at a hot potato.

"I cast a divination, and the result matches the current situation perfectly. It seems we can't take the Star Chariot directly to the Grand Divination Office today. They've also run into some trouble due to the influence of the Milky Way. Alas, without me here to oversee things, I wonder what kind of chaos the office is in." Fu Xuan sighed.

“Yes, it seems that the Grand Diviner’s Office cannot do without Lord Fu for even a day.” Tingyun nodded in agreement.

"Then let's build up the tiered system properly. It'll be a hassle if you need to take a day off or something..." March 7th reminded him.

"Hmph, I assume you two are unaware of the full story, so I won't blame you for your earlier reckless words. I'll take my leave now to inquire about the matter. Goodbye." With that, Fu Xuan prepared to leave with Kafka.

"Oh, right, you come too." Fu Xuan took a couple of steps, turned to look at Chen Luo and said.

"Take this." Chen Luo simply tossed a teleportation anchor, which Fu Xuan caught steadily.

Fu Xuan's divine eye could not observe Chen Luo's behavior, but if Chen Luo didn't mind, Fu Xuan could see what Chen Luo might be preparing to do next.

"This is……"

“Teleportation anchor. With this, I can teleport directly to where this chess set is. There's no time for interrogation today; I'll come back tomorrow,” Chen Luo said.

"Whatever you like." After accepting the teleportation anchor, Fu Xuan looked at March 7 and the others.

Solving the Star Core problem is more urgent right now; the matter of the Demonic Body can wait. As for the Paradise Coins, while they are indeed very pressing, they are not to the point of being unbearable.

However, Fu Xuan was now somewhat worried about how effective the Qiongguan Formation would be against Chen Luo.

"I have assigned a disciple to wait in front of Changletian Square. Once the internal affairs are settled, the guide will lead you into the Taibu Temple. Please wait patiently."

"understood."

"Chen Luo, Chen Luo, we're planning to spend some time at Chang Le Tian, ​​do you want to come along?" March 7th invited Chen Luo.

"No need, I have some things to take care of." Chen Luo shook his head.

"Miss Tingyun will be with you."

"...Okay, I admit what you said is very tempting, but it is indeed very urgent. Oh, by the way, Miss Tingyun, this is for you." Chen Luo took out a Paradise Gold Coin, then tapped it on the small black ball in his hand, and the entire Paradise Gold Coin instantly turned black.

This didn't diminish the appeal of Paradise Coins; instead, it gave them a sense of weight and significance, making them feel like limited-edition items.

"This is……"

"Black gold coins, limited edition Paradise Gold Coins, legend has it that they can bring wealth and good luck," Chen Luo said after handing the black Paradise Gold Coins to Ting Yun.

"I want one too, I want one too."

[Ding! You have a new request!]

"Here you go." Chen Luo satisfied March 7's curiosity by giving each member of the train crew a black gold coin.

[Ding! Mission complete!]

"Although I would love to travel to Changletian with you all, I am indeed tied up with important matters."

I think you should go.

"what?"

[Have you forgotten about Bai Lu? Whether you can become a Dragon Knight or not, Bai Lu is extremely important; she's the Dragon Lord, or at least the current Dragon Lord.]

"Why didn't you remind me sooner? Now I've already said it."
