Their commission was suspicious.

“Of course, my friend.” The Holy Lord picked up the mercury sword with his claws and handed it to Chen Luo.

The Mercury Sword, also known as the Azoth Sword, is actually called... the sword that will stab whoever gives it to it.

Chen Luo grasped the sword that the Holy Lord had "given" to him, and smiled, revealing his goodwill.

The Hyperion then restarted and headed towards Asia.

Chapter 1897 Holy Lord: Brothers and sisters, those alien fools are easy to fool!

"My magic has finally been restored!" Feeling the power surging through his body, and watching the spaceship steadily approaching Asia, the Holy Lord couldn't help but look at the Captain Chen beside him.

The Holy Lord did indeed promise that if he were to be resurrected, he would grant the captain wealth, power, and strength.

But as everyone knows, the Holy Lord does not keep his promises.

Is the one who keeps his promise still the Holy Lord?

However, considering that this alien does indeed possess unique abilities, the Holy Lord did not intend to break the agreement immediately.

Originally, the Holy Lord was in a statue-like state, so even though Chen Luo had left, the Holy Lord could use some of his bewitching power, but he did not take action against the Paradise adventurers who remained on the ship.

After all, if the operation fails, it would be a huge loss. Now that the Holy Lord has recovered his full strength, he can start plotting some things.

For example, he could release his seven brothers and sisters from the demon hell and have them help him rule the world.

Finally, seal them back into the demon hell.

Therefore, the Holy Lord felt he needed to sign a contract with his seven brothers and sisters behind Chen Luo's back.

Then, we can subtly manipulate the contract!

In short, this matter requires careful consideration, and since there is still some time before New Year's Eve, the Holy Lord does not intend to turn against us immediately.

The real show is yet to come.

……

"The best is yet to come." Sitting in the captain's seat, Chen Luo was writing and drawing on the history book with a brush.

[There once was a very powerful con artist. He deceived the Cursed Blue, one of the Eight Demon Hands, making him believe the false rumor that there was an interstellar civilization beyond Earth, and learning the name of a certain organization, which was called... Paradise.]

After acquiring the Book of Time, Chen Luo felt as if he were writing a novel while modifying the world.

The world consciousness of this world grants Chen Luo considerable authority. Although his status as the author only allows him to alter some minor aspects of history, the world consciousness can still turn a blind eye as long as he is willing to spend money.

Furthermore, since Chen Luo would not cause any malicious harm to the world, the world consciousness could be said to have entrusted the entire world to Chen Luo.

But that's precisely why Chen Luo is so careful in everything he does.

Chen Luo is currently using the history books of time to create a background for himself, because Chen Luo is planning something big!

Since the demons in the Demon Hell want to return to reality and the Holy Lord wants to liberate his seven brothers and sisters and then rule the world, Chen Luo will help them out.

Demons like the Eight Great Demons, who have had their wisdom and power wasted for hundreds or thousands of years in the Demon Hell, must desperately want to get out, and the desires they hold must be quite considerable.

Although five-star commissions usually require the power of civilization to complete, there have been instances in the past where extraordinary individuals have accomplished five-star commissions single-handedly...

Yes, I'm talking about you, Otto Apocalypse.

There are now eight demons that want to be released.

Each of the eight demons is a powerful demon warlock. They were able to stand out among thousands of demon warlocks and become the eight strongest demons, which naturally has its special characteristics... namely, they are exceptionally powerful.

The desires of the strong are often of a higher caliber.

As for what to do after releasing the demons, the obvious answer is to lock them back up immediately.

Even without historical records, Chen Luo was confident that he could send them all back to the Demon Hell with his own strength, but he would never use such a radical method.

Besides Shendu, the other seven demons were trapped in the Demon Hell for a long time. When they first came out, their power was not strong and they needed time to recover.

As for the Holy Lord... the Holy Lord's primordial fire demon energy combined with the 12 talismans is indeed powerful, but the Holy Lord gave Chen Luo the sword that would stab anyone who gave it to him...

Now that we have historical records, it's not so troublesome anymore.

In other circumstances, anything could happen, and a complete disaster is not impossible. However, with the History Book in Chen Luo's possession, no accident is likely to occur.

The only problem is how much money Chen Luo will have to spend to bribe the world consciousness.

Before releasing the eight demons, the act must be performed completely...

Chen Luo saw through the Holy Lord's idea: to sign a contract first and then release the other eight demons, so that would be some time later.

To prevent the eight demons from misunderstanding Chen Luo and his companions during communication, Chen Luo had to modify the settings.

The advantage of a historical record over a short story is that... writing a novel requires logic, but revising a historical record does not.

However, Chen Luo did not forget the power of the historical records, so he specifically stated that the alien paradise was a rumor.

Before long, the spaceship landed on Asian soil and, at the Holy Lord's request, proceeded to a certain location until it arrived at a desolate wilderness.

Chen Luo closed the Book of Time, and then, at the Holy Lord's enthusiastic invitation, left the spaceship and arrived in this desolate wilderness.

"This is my palace!" As soon as the Holy Lord finished speaking, ancient buildings suddenly rose from the ground.

Of the eight demons' palaces, only the Holy Lord's palace is the best preserved.

The Holy Lord's palace was not only magnificent, but also contained countless riches accumulated by the Holy Lord over the years, piled up like mountains inside the palace, including even a mask from the Shadow Legion that the Holy Lord had previously collected.

The palace has been hidden for thousands of years, and it will only reappear in the world after the Holy Lord is resurrected by the twelve talismans.

Only within his own palace can the Holy Lord open the dimensional rift that connects to the release of the evil dragon.

"Welcome to my palace! All the wealth here can be shared with you!" The Holy Lord smiled kindly.

The exploitation of Chen Luo and others is not over yet, and although the Holy Lord can bewitch people, he does not have the power to completely turn them into his puppets.

Therefore, the Holy Lord does not intend to release the evil dragon in the dimensional void at this time.

Before summoning the eight great demons, the Holy Lord must maintain a positive image; those evil dragons are too damaging to his image.

"No need, we have no interest in wealth," Chen Luo shook his head.

"That's such a pity," the Holy Lord said regretfully.

However, if it weren't for the fact that the Holy Lord chatted with the people of Paradise for a while when Chen Luo left, and confirmed that they weren't interested in wealth, the Holy Lord wouldn't have asked that question.

"Friends, if it's alright, could I trouble you with one more thing?" After admiring his palace for a while, the Holy Lord suddenly asked.

"What is it?"

"While I am capable of doing it myself, could you please help me rescue my brothers and sisters who have been sealed away in hell by evil demons?"

“A thousand years ago… countless demon sorcerers wreaked havoc on the world. My seven brothers and sisters and I stood up to fight against those evil demon sorcerers. Just when we were about to succeed, those evil demon sorcerers, unwilling to accept defeat, used their last strength to seal us away, subjecting us to endless torment. My seven brothers and sisters used their last strength to help me break free from the seal, and I promised them that I would free them.”

"Perhaps you, my friends, already know something about this world. It's a world ruled by humans. I'm simply trying to change the status quo because I don't want my seven brothers and sisters to continue suffering. They are truly kind and benevolent demons. If you are willing to help, I'm willing to share half of the eleven talismans in my body, excluding the Rat Talisman," the Holy Lord said to Chen Luo, bowing his head.

[Raw Stone - 1]

This holy master used the power to bewitch people again, and the 100 Anti-Fraud Methods in Chen Luo's arms kept trembling.

The Holy Lord rarely speaks the truth.

"But... is there anything we can do to help?"

"Of course we can. We just need to find the Panku Box to release my brothers and sisters one by one."

"Panku Treasure Box? Why don't you use it yourself?" Chen Luo asked.

"Because that Panku Box has been enchanted by those evil demon sorcerers, it can only be used by humans," the Holy Lord explained.

The reason is actually because the Holy Lord cannot possess the Panku Box, which possesses the power of justice.

"I see..." Chen Luo's face was full of hesitation.

"Please give me a day to find the Panku Box. Once I find its location, I hope you can provide assistance," the Holy Lord said.

[Raw Stone - 1]

"..."

It's clear that the Holy Lord really wants to rule the world beyond Earth, so even after regaining his power, he still tries to coax and deceive people with kind words.

Ultimately, under the influence of the Holy Lord, the Hyperion and his group from outer space agreed to help the Holy Lord liberate his seven sisters.

During the preparation time that day, Chen Luo and his team were to travel to the sun to absorb stellar energy to replenish the spaceship's power.

……

"The Holy Lord, whose IQ has been affected, is so easy to fool," Chen Luo said, sitting in the bar.

“Indeed, if I weren’t a professional, I probably would have laughed out loud.” Silver Wolf nodded.

"Ding-a-ling!" The wind chimes suddenly rang out.

"Chen Luo, could you help me repair the Creation Furnace... Did I come at the wrong time?" Jing Yuan pushed open the door and saw Chen Luo enjoying a shoulder massage from Silver Wolf, while his hand was stroking the arm of a beautiful purple-haired woman, and he was looking Chen Luo up and down.

"...I think you might have misunderstood something. If there's a problem, come over quickly, there's no such thing as a bad time." Chen Luo continued to fiddle with General Thunder's arm, studying the puppet's structure.

“Oh, here’s the thing. Because of the Star Core’s interference, the Creation Furnace of the Construction Bureau was damaged, and a large number of Year Suns escaped… We were thinking of borrowing the Armory Box to repair the Creation Furnace… Of course, not now. It will take a day to give us some time to clean up the Construction Bureau.” Jing Yuan explained the purpose of his trip.

[Ding! You have a new task!]

[Repair the Creation Furnace]: 500 Origin Stones

“That’s no problem at all…” Chen Luo nodded in agreement.

Repairing the Creation Furnace is not a difficult task.

Meanwhile, inside the Holy Lord's palace...

"Brothers and sisters, I've come to save you." The Holy Lord stood in front of a mirror, communicating with the other demons in the Demon Hell.

"The one in question, how dare you show your face before us?"

I'm going to tear you to pieces!

"You bastard!"

The appearance of the Holy Lord instantly enraged the other seven demons.

Especially after seeing the luxurious palace interior behind the Holy Lord and glancing at the desolate world they were in, the Seven Demons became even angrier!

There was one thing Shendu said that wasn't a lie to Chen Luo. Shendu was indeed helped to escape from the Demon Hell by his seven brothers and sisters, but he betrayed them and established himself as king on Earth, enjoying the world all to himself. Later, he was sealed in a statue by Lope.

Amidst the angry rants of the sisters, the Holy Lord slowly revealed his plan.

The remaining seven demons listened suspiciously to the Holy Lord's explanation...

"Now, the only problem is that before Hyperion releases all our brothers and sisters, we all need to try our best to control our impulses as demons, put on an act, and show the side of justice... that is, we absolutely cannot do what we want to do, and we should try our best to do what we don't want to do. Until we obtain the methods and means to travel to other planets from Hyperion and the others, then we will conquer all the worlds together!"

"I have heard that there are other civilizations beyond interstellar space, but... are you sure we can fool them?" asked Zhou Lan, the leader of the eight great demons.

"Don't worry, those alien idiots are easy to fool." A not-so-bright red light flickered in the Holy Lord's eyes.

Chapter 1988 The Ninth Herrscher: I'll show you a really tough trick! The Continent Vanishing Technique!

The entire northwestern Shanxi region is in complete chaos!

Oh, no, the entire Fire-Chasing Moth has become a complete mess!

It's been a while since the New Year's Eve party. During this time, everyone has been eating, sleeping, and fighting Honkai Beasts. Although it was quite stressful, at least the casualty rate wasn't as high as we had imagined. The Armed Dolls were indeed quite competent helpers.

But what everyone doesn't want to face, though late, has arrived.

Compared to ordinary Honkai Beasts, Herrschers are often the ones capable of inflicting immense damage on an entire civilization.

Ordinary Honkai Beasts are like water dripping on a stone; although they seem endless, you can resist them to some extent at the beginning.

However, the first appearance of each Herrscher always leaves an indelible and undeniable impact on the stone, like a nail.

Moreover, each Herrscher is of a different type, always striking the most vulnerable points of the previous civilization.

It's like they're targeting us.

"A Herrscher reaction has appeared on the Mu Continent, and... it's extremely strong! The appearance of the Ninth Herrscher has been confirmed!" Dr. Mei stood in the control room of the Fire Moth, looking at the bright red screen and listening to the report from the person next to her.

"Execute the operation according to the emergency plan." Dr. Mei remained calm and composed.
