Their commission was suspicious.

Because the Dao Fruit has always existed, it has no impact on the Dimensional Sea regardless of who wields it.

Holding power is the ticket to becoming a transcendent being.

Every transcendent being has held a power.

Then transcend authority!

Moreover, it is said that the authority of each transcendent being seems very abstract, because certain concepts of authority seem to be freely combinable.

For example... the authority of [abstraction] itself may be held by a transcendent being.

But just how abstract is it...? I don't know.

Because those who don't know dare not ask the transcendent, and those who do know... dare not speak, much less proclaim.

I'm afraid of being beaten to death.

However, obtaining authority does not necessarily mean one can actually wield it; it only represents a certain level of potential.

"It's good that you didn't take it to heart." The world consciousness breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Luo is good. He is a kind-hearted person who doesn't like to cause trouble. At most, he just likes to watch for fun.

That's really reassuring.

So what are you going to do now?

"Make me a drink...that suits me."

"Um? 』

Then the world consciousness saw Chen Luo put a star core, time river water, time source crystal fragments, the resentment of the Herrscher of Erosion for 5 years, demon god remnants, river god power, a wisp of root aura, power of faith, World Tree leaves... and a small amount of primal stones into a cup.

We've successfully created a cup of something indescribable!

A cup of something that even a star god could ascend to heaven on the spot if he drank it.

Then Chen Luoxing drank it excitedly.

Others might be afraid, but Chen Luo isn't, because he could eat any one of these ingredients individually!

Then... the world consciousness saw Chen Luo lying in Alicia's arms, completely drunk and unconscious.

You won't die... but you'll get drunk.

Just because you don't know the alcohol content of a liquor doesn't mean it has no alcohol content!

Chapter 1994 The Gambler's World Consciousness That Can't Get a House

"That's strange, that drink didn't have any alcohol content, so why am I drunk?" Chen Luo asked, rubbing his forehead in confusion.

Homemade liquor has no alcohol content: meaning the alcohol content is completely unknown!

"Luckily, you only put what you could digest in this drink, otherwise it wouldn't just be a matter of being drunk for a long time, you would have just passed out on the spot!"

Honestly, even the World Consciousness would shake its head at the drink Chen Luo just mixed.

Putting everything else aside, even the Star God couldn't digest something like raw stones.

"I was thinking of throwing a party for Alicia tonight to celebrate the birth of the new world, so I decided to make myself a drink that doesn't taste like alcohol, but will make you a little tipsy," Chen Luo said embarrassedly.

"This isn't wine, it's practically poison!"

"Hmm... let me refine it a bit more." Chen Luo felt that his idea was sound.

Speaking of which, ever since Chen Luo woke up from his coma, Alicia's face has been a little red, and she doesn't know why...

"Oh, by the way, you can take a look at this. It's called the Book of Time, a very convenient tool for managing the world. You can give it a try." While improving the cocktail recipe, Chen Luo didn't forget to hand the Book of Time to Alicia.

History books are really useful.

You'll see once you try it.

Normally, Chen Luo would have to do all the work himself when teasing the eight demons. Although with the Herrscher of the Void and the power of Yakumo Yukari that can break through dimensions, going to the demon world might not be difficult, who would do something personally when they could just write it down?

【Aren't "putting pen to paper" and "using your hands" the same thing? After all, isn't writing with a pen done by hand?】

"..."

Seno, go back to Sumeru!

"This is..." Before Alicia could say anything, Chen Luo stuffed a mouthful of memory bread into her mouth.

Memory Bread is arguably the best instruction manual in the world. Once you eat it, you can understand everything without even using your brain!

Alicia obediently ate the memory bread that Chen Luo was holding, bite by bite. When there was only one bite left, Chen Luo saw Alicia open her mouth as if to bite, and accurately threw the remaining memory bread into her mouth.

To prevent Alicia from biting her own fingers again.

"Yes, I understand now. It's really a convenient thing." After finishing her bread, Alicia quickly figured out how to use the Book of Time.

Strictly speaking, the design of the Book of Time is somewhat similar to the concept of the central world where Chen Luo and Alicia reside. The difference is that in the central world, Alicia needs to point and gesture on the EtherScreen to modify the world's trajectory, but with the Book of Time, one only needs to write in the Book of Time that the world has become a certain way to change the world's scenery and architecture...

The reconstruction work, which was originally incredibly difficult, could have been completed in one go.

The difference is roughly equivalent to one person writing a novel and the other coding.

You might make mistakes when coding, but you won't when writing a novel, because you can erase the previous words and rewrite them.

Of course, this is a simple matter to talk about, and it is indeed very simple in practice, but changing the appearance of the world's central hub into a historical record is quite difficult.

The appearance of the world's central hub cannot be changed at will, just as Alicia cannot change the appearance of the entire world with a single thought.

But now things are much better. Now we have a concrete template. As long as we put this template into the world's central hub and let the world's central hub "reference" it, we can quickly create a unique history book of this world.

What's even more amazing is that after the world's central hub becomes a history book, it can be transformed back at any time.

"However, once you have the Book of Time, don't get into the habit of using it for everything..." Chen Luo suddenly said seriously to Alicia.

"Oh, are there any side effects?" Seeing Chen Luo's expression, Alicia's heart skipped a beat.

"Have."

"What side effects?"

"You'll gain weight!"

"..."

"Because everything can be solved by simply moving your hands, you won't exercise. Because you won't exercise, you'll get fat, and Ellie, you're already very fat..."

"Chen Luo!"

"Hmm?" Chen Luo looked at Alicia, who rarely called him by his full name.

"I have a gold staff, a silver staff, and a regular staff that will hurt you a lot when you hit it. Which one do you want to be hit by?" Alicia smiled and took out three different colored staffs that she had used after becoming the Origin.

"...You can't hit me," Chen Luo said truthfully.

Because Chen Luo was so frightened that he immediately entered a stealthy, virtual state.

"..." Alicia smiled and put away the three staffs in her hand, then walked directly to Chen Luo's side and made a strange gesture next to Chen Luo, who was stealthily moving in the virtual position.

Even though she didn't touch Chen Luo, Alicia pretended to hug him and then pressed her face next to Chen Luo's face, who was in stealth mode, and took a selfie.

“During the party that night, I sent this photo to everyone’s phone and said, ‘You’re flirting with me.’”

"???"

Chen Luo had never seen such shamelessness...

But when Chen Luo saw the threatening look in Alicia's eyes, he couldn't bring himself to say the rest of his thoughts.

The two, who had been threatening each other, seemed to have a subtle change in their gazes as their eyes met, and they were practically touching.

"Oh, I remember now, so that's what it is." The voice of world consciousness suddenly interrupted the brewing of this emotion.

[...The path of consciousness in this world is so narrow!]

Damn it! Why did you have to speak up now of all times?

[When the boss and others are making the World Tree doll for her, make her a flat-chested girl even flatter than Xiao Shi!]

"...There's no need for that, the crime doesn't warrant such a punishment."

Even the extreme Chen Luo felt that the humanization plugin was too extreme.

Chen Luo couldn't even imagine how terrifying a flat chest, even flatter than Xiao Shi's, could be. Maybe he should just turn her into a man.

"Ugh." Alicia huffed and sat back down in her seat, then looked up at the sky with a dissatisfied expression.

Alicia rarely communicates directly with the world's consciousness, but seeing Chen Luo looking up when he habitually communicates with the world's consciousness, Alicia also looked up.

Apart from Chen Luo, very few people directly communicate with the World Consciousness, because the World Consciousness is too lazy to bother with them.

Chen Luo is different. If the world's consciousness is not kept in check, it can be easily read by Chen Luo.

However, this time, out of respect for Chen Luo, the world consciousness also pulled Alicia into the private chat.

After noticing Alicia's actions, Chen Luo looked at her strangely.

Chen Luo looked up to communicate with the world consciousness because he could hear its voice, but Chen Luo was used to looking at the subtitles in the sky. What was Alicia's purpose?

Can Alicia see the subtitles too?

(I heard that only China frequently uses subtitles in TV dramas.)

"...Did I say something wrong?"

"No, you're right, you're right. Continue." Chen Luo shook his head.

Once the topic of this historical record came up, Alicia put away her somewhat sullen expression and listened attentively.

"Oh, it's nothing really. It's just that I seem to have heard of the world consciousness of this world."

"...Doesn't that mean I wasted my time using world coordinates? I should have asked you!"

"It's no use you contacting me. I've only heard of it; I don't have its contact information. All I know is that the world's consciousness is very wealthy, but also very frugal. I heard they plan to accumulate all the world's resources and then gamble on something big!"

"Ok?"

"It's gambling on the affix. You know, every time the world consciousness restarts, it randomly assigns a new affix. This is the main affix. Although it can be changed later, the modified affix will definitely not be as useful as the original."

"So it's betting that it will randomly get an infinite term, and then throw all its assets into that cycle! It's trying to create a multiverse worldview! A worldview that can infinitely self, replicate and multiply, and provide enough world resources for it to live comfortably in its old age. Similar to the worldviews of Type-Moon or Minecraft."

Simply put, it means buying one lottery ticket a day hoping to win the 800 million yuan jackpot and become rich overnight.

"...The hope is very slim, isn't it?"

"Of course, it's very unlikely. If it were just a matter of multiple worlds, it wouldn't be too difficult; you just need to spend some world resources to increase acquired attributes. But innate attributes are strange and varied. It's very difficult to gamble on an innate attribute that allows for infinite development and enables one to live a life of leisure."

"Furthermore, whether this level of success is possible depends on whether you have suitable resources at hand after randomly obtaining the appropriate keywords."

"Take me for example. My initial randomized entry had absolutely no connection to the infinite world, but because I possessed a seed from the World Tree, I transformed the world into the trees and seas we see today. Countless worlds are born and die within the Imaginary Tree and the Quantum Sea, creating countless cycles of reincarnation..."

"Does that mean you can retire now?" Chen Luo never expected that his Honkai Impact 2rd world was the second world consciousness after the Type-Moon world where he could retire.

"That's true, but not necessarily. Retirement is one thing, but the monthly pension is another. In some worlds, pensions are higher than a month's salary for others, like in the Type-Moon universe."

"And some people, even if they create a world where they can retire indefinitely, still earn so little that, rounded up, it's equivalent to a basic welfare payment."

"So here's the question...would you rather live on welfare every month, or gamble on whether the next time you'll get a more perfect keyword, a more perfect start, and then create a more perfect world?"

"...Let's take a gamble?"

"Ha, gamblers never get a good end. If I hadn't gambled that one time, I'd be retired by now."

"What's wrong with a monthly pension of 1? Why did I have to gamble? After working hard for over a dozen lifetimes, I ended up with a monthly salary of 8000! And I still have to work! I hate it!"

While the Trees and the Sea worldview is convenient, it still requires management.

Unlike the Type-Moon universe, rotten branches are pruned off automatically.

"Ha...gamblers never have a good end," Chen Luo sneered.

Chapter 1995 World Fragments (×)? Out of touch with reality (√)!

"One last question," Chen Luo said, holding up one finger.

"..."

"Stop keeping quiet here. 8000 a month is already more than most people in the world."

It's clear that the world consciousness is very sad.
