Their commission was suspicious.

Even the Holy Lord wasn't sure if Chen Luo had planted the seeds of disaster within him using the Book of Time...

Everyone says that the Holy Lord is capricious, but the Holy Lord thinks that Chen Luo is even more capricious than himself. Didn't Chen Luo tell him to use the Book of Time?

Why did the other party beat me up after I used their services?

"Do you want to turn me into one of them?" The Holy Lord, whose special power was temporarily suppressed by the power of darkness and chaos, was pressed to the ground by countless shadowy hands, but when the Holy Lord looked up, he could still see the humble expressions of the six great demons.

You can also see the deep-seated resentment and anger of the six demons.

However, for some reason, they kept this resentment to themselves.

I'll probably never be able to get revenge in this lifetime.

The Investiture of the Gods is such a thing.

The Investiture of the Gods came about because the Heavenly Court had too few capable people and therefore needed some "puppets."

Loyalty is impossible. Although becoming a deity from a wandering immortal grants one a formal position, few immortals on the Investiture of the Gods would even consider such a privilege.

But in all those years in Heaven, has any immortal ever successfully rebelled?

not a single one.

"Holy Lord, you fool! This is an incredible opportunity bestowed upon us by the Lord out of pity!" The hot-tempered older sister, Basha, immediately launched into a tirade.

Basha's anger toward the Holy Lord was genuine and heartfelt.

However, it's impossible to determine how much of the anger stemmed from the Holy Lord's defiance of Chen Luoke.

More likely, it's Basha's anger at the Holy Lord for deceiving her and trying to use Chen Luo, only to drag them all into the same trap.

After being included in the Investiture of the Gods, Bazaar and others sadly discovered that being included in the Investiture of the Gods meant a lifetime of unfreedom.

In the Investiture of the Gods, they truly could neither live nor die.

Hmm? What if Chen Luo really sends them back to Demon Hell?

Of course, I immediately slid down on my knees.

It's better to live a miserable life than to die a good death.

Even a dog wouldn't go to that godforsaken place, Hell!

However, Basha also sincerely hopes that the Holy Lord can become her colleague. After all, the seven accomplices cannot experience the bitterness of being unable to live or die, but the Holy Lord, the main culprit, can escape!

The other demons also added fuel to the fire.

The Demon Hell can erode the wisdom and magic of demons, just as their hearts are clouded with dust. However, after entering the Investiture of the Gods, the dust on their true spirits is swept away, their souls and magic are nourished, and their wisdom gradually recovers as their strength far surpasses that of the past.

As for the Holy Lord who caused all this, they naturally wouldn't mind teaming up to trick him once.

"Are you teaching me how to do things?" When Chen Luo's voice rang out, the previously noisy palace instantly fell silent. The six demons hurriedly kowtowed, their foreheads pressed tightly against the ground, not daring to utter another word.

That's how powerful the Investiture of the Gods was in binding the gods on it.

Once you're on the Investiture of the Gods list, you have no say in anything.

"Let me think about how to deal with you," Chen Luo said, leaning against the Dark Throne and looking at the Holy Lord.

Meanwhile, the Holy Lord's heart was pounding with anxiety.

The Holy Lord now suddenly hopes that the principle of yin-yang balance in the world can immediately take effect.

The world is in perpetual balance of Yin and Yang. Even if one side gains a temporary advantage, the other can quickly catch up.

Therefore, logically speaking, if there is an evil being like Chen Luo, then there must be a more powerful immortal responsible for sealing Chen Luo, just like the Eight Demons were sealed by the Eight Immortals.

Of course, the Holy Lord would not give up resistance just because he might be defeated sooner or later; instead, he would delay the fight indefinitely.

Perhaps the Holy Lord only cares about this matter when the balance of Yin and Yang is needed.

When it's the Holy Lord's turn to dominate, the balance of Yin and Yang should be pushed as far away as possible.

"Chen Luo!" A familiar voice came from outside the palace.

"You guys better keep your mouths shut for a bit, or my teammates will think I'm some kind of villain." Chen Luo glared at the eight demons beneath the Dark Throne, then flicked his finger, and the palace doors swung open.

Before long, Xiaoshi and Mei arrived at the palace excitedly, carrying the gifts they had chosen.

Seeing Chen Luo's face soften again, the Holy Lord, who was being pressed to the ground by numerous dark hands, recalled Chen Luo's words and seemed to sense an opportunity.

Could it be... that Chen Luo is also hiding something from these women?

"Huh? Chen Luo, why are you doing this to the Holy Lord?" Xiao Shi asked, puzzled, looking at the Holy Lord who was being pressed to the ground by the dark hand.

At that moment, a strong desire to win instantly erupted in the Holy Lord's eyes.

If I'm not mistaken, the Holy Lord only needs to use a little trick to regain his freedom.

The Holy Lord suddenly looked up!

"Why don't we kill him and split the talisman? I quite like that snake talisman; it makes you invisible."

"..." The Holy Lord lowered his head again.

Damn, that was too hasty!

I never imagined that these women, who might seem gentle and weak, could be so vicious!

"This...isn't that inappropriate?" Mei seemed somewhat moved by Xiaoshi's words.

Suddenly, a glimmer of hope rose in the Holy Lord's heart.

"We can take the talismans and stuff, and return them to District 13, but killing Shendu is really unnecessary?"

Yes, that's right.

This girl seems very kind.

The Holy Lord was overjoyed.

“How about… we divide his body into several pieces and seal them in different parts of the world? That’s how it’s always shown on TV,” Raiden Mei said.

"..."

You are even more despicable than the previous one! Your intentions are far more malicious!

Even the Holy Master is numb; are there no normal women among these women?

"If that's the case... Chen Luo, since the Dog Talisman can keep the Holy Lord alive, what if we cut off the Holy Lord's head and give him the Dog Talisman? Could the Holy Lord survive without a head? And then, like Xing Tian, ​​have his nipples turn into eyes?" Xiao Shi suddenly became interested.

"If you're going to kill me, then do it quickly!" The Holy Lord stiffened his neck, unable to take it anymore.

Listen, listen!

Could a human come up with these ideas?

More demonic than the devil himself!

Aliens, none of them are any good!

"Alright, alright, stop scaring the Holy Lord. You'll frighten him even more." Chen Luo waved his hand, signaling Xiao Shi and the others to calm down.

"Tch, are you that easily scared?" Xiao Shi wasn't so easily frightened.

"Huh, are you guys serious?" Mei asked, somewhat surprised.

Weren't we having a serious discussion just now?

"..."

"..."

Xiao Shi and Chen Luo both looked at Raiden Mei at the same time.

So Mei's a wolf in sheep's clothing, huh? You better watch out, kid, or you'll get chopped up with a machete.

"Did I say something wrong?" Raiden Mei felt a little guilty under everyone's gaze.

“No, you’re right. This is indeed the treatment the Holy Lord should receive, after all, this guy hasn’t done anything good.” Chen Luo shook his head.

"..." by Holy Lord

Do you, sitting on the dark throne, have the right to say that others haven't done anything good?

Didn't you say that you once stood by and watched countless people die, enslaved hundreds of millions of humans, and destroyed life on a planet?

Who's more despicable between us?

Although the Holy Lord wanted to say that, he dared not.

Bullying the weak and fearing the strong is a virtue shared by all evil.

“I’ll take these seven demons with me; after all, losing their screen time isn’t a big deal. We can just cut 12 episodes of their content. But Shendu isn’t suitable to take; otherwise, there’ll be no plot,” Chen Luo said.

The fact that the World Consciousness didn't intervene when Chen Luo subdued the seven demons suggests that it might not have cared much about it. However, Chen Luo couldn't take advantage of its indifference.

We all need to be understanding of each other. At most, the absence of the Seven Demons would only mean a smaller part of the story, but without Shendu, the story simply cannot continue.

When Shendu was alive, he was the evil that the main characters had to fight against. But now that Shendu is gone, the talismans he left behind are the best helpers for the main characters to deal with evil.

The Holy Lord is indeed the kind of traditional evil dragon—everything about an evil dragon is a treasure.

Besides, the Holy Lord wasn't of much use to Chen Luo. Apart from the friendship with the dragon himself, the Holy Lord didn't have anything good about him.

The talismans are indeed good, but apart from the Tiger Talisman which was actually useful to Chen Luo, the other talismans have limited uses and are more suitable as toys.

The greatest use of the seven great demons was to occupy the seven five-digit spirit slots that no one wanted in the Investiture of the Gods, in order to make up the positions on the Investiture of the Gods. Apart from these seven positions, the rest were four-digit or higher positions.

Those are all good things, wouldn't it be a waste to give them to the Holy Lord?

"How about this, turn the Holy Lord back into a statue, then randomly throw him somewhere, and let him collect all 12 talismans again," Chen Luo said.

“However, before you discard the Holy Lord, you can try to retrieve the talisman from within the Holy Lord. Each person has one chance, and you can obtain the silver version of the talisman you find…” After Chen Luo opened the Book of Time and wrote a line on the Book of Time, green Qi magic appeared in the hands of Xiao Shi, Mei Yi, Morgan, Isamara and others.

This is a righteous magic that can take the talisman from the Holy Lord.

The same style as my dad's.

"Super Lotto?"

"I want to come!" Kiana, who was finally able to tear off the tape from her mouth, ran excitedly toward Shendu.

The Holy Lord looked on in horror at the group of excited girls who were about to strip him of his power.

"I'll pick one too, hopefully I'll have better luck."

[Ding! You have a new request!] ×n

Seeing Kiana take the lead, the others followed closely behind. If they were late, they might miss out on good runes.

Even Morgan, who wasn't particularly interested in talismans, walked forward.

The magic of another world is indeed worth studying.

The same applies to talismans.

Don't come any closer!

The Holy Lord roared in his heart!

Chapter 2031 Tiger Talisman? One Mei becomes two Mei? Double the happiness!

"Smack!"

As Kiana was the first to remove the talisman from his body, the struggling Shendu was instantly turned into a statue and crashed to the ground.

Originally, the Holy Lord did remove the curse that would turn someone into a statue if they lost the Rat Talisman, but Chen Luo reinstated it.

"..." Kiana looked completely bewildered as she held the Rat Talisman.

"Did I mess up?"

"No, don't worry, there's no trouble here. As long as you don't do it on purpose, I can handle even the biggest problems for you, and this isn't really trouble. It's just changing the hidden card draw to an open card selection. Alright, everyone, choose one, each person can only choose one." Chen Luo nudged everyone except Kiana.

"Sigh, can I choose again? I feel like the Rat Talisman isn't very interesting." Kiana looked at the Rat Talisman in her hand and the various super cool talismans on Shendu's statue, and felt a little envious.

"Kiana, you should trust your luck. Your luck led you to choose the Rat Talisman, which means the Rat Talisman is definitely more effective for you than other talismans," Chen Luo said, sitting on the Dark Throne.

"Really?"

“Really, if nothing unexpected happens, many people will come to you for help with the Rat Talisman in the future. For example… Bronya next to you.” Chen Luo pointed to Bronya next to Kiana.

At Chen Luo's prompting, Kiana glanced to the side and saw that Bronya, disguised as the Silver Wolf, had nothing in her hands, but her eyes were fixed on the Rat Talisman in her own hand.

Upon seeing Bronya's gaze, Kiana instantly realized something, gripping the Rat Talisman tightly in her hand and looking at Bronya with a teasing expression.
