Their commission was suspicious.

Influence people in the past by following the timeline requires magic. Magic doesn't cost money, does it?

But it's much cheaper to bribe people.

Moreover, after those people were mistaken for puppeteers' puppets, no one dared to bully them anymore, so bribing them became even cheaper.

To accomplish 5 million yuan with 5 yuan.

The puppeteer has truly mastered the concept of "human nature."

No wonder no one dares to mess with the puppeteer, and no one even dares to speak ill of her.

Because people still believe that puppeteers are constantly adding puppets for themselves, perhaps your friend, your relative, or your wife could be one of the puppeteer's puppets.

The simpler and easier the method, the less people will believe it.

Because everyone felt that puppeteers, as transcendent beings, wouldn't do something so lowly.

That crisis of trust was essentially a test set by the puppeteer for himself: a test about human nature, the human heart, and puppets.

A test to become a transcendent being...

And then the puppeteer succeeded.

That's right, before the puppeteer stirred up a crisis of trust, he wasn't a transcendent being.

The puppeteer has manipulated the entire dimensional sea!

Of course, there was indeed a certain unnamed transcendent individual who secretly provided an opportunity to make a move.

But it only happened once.

The puppeteer used it at the beginning, creating signs that he would become a transcendent being.

The time was... 20 years before the crisis of trust.

Because people didn't think anyone would start with a royal flush, the puppeteer's gamble paid off.

Those who had transcended the limitations of the world refrained from exposing the truth out of respect for the anonymous figure who had transcended the limitations of the world.

The ordinary people in the Dimensional Sea were not affected by this test at all, because everyone thought that to become a puppeteer, one had to be at least a fallen young master of a family.

Humble family, humble family... If one's ancestors were once wealthy but later declined, that's what it means to be from a humble family.

Furthermore, even if you know the other party is a puppeteer's doll, you're even less likely to provoke them...

Therefore, the crisis concerning humanity and trust did not cause widespread destruction in the Dimensional Sea; on the contrary, it brought considerable peace to the Dimensional Sea at that time.

Because you don't know if the other person is a puppeteer's puppet.

This made it much easier for countless geniuses to overcome the suppression from the old forces in the early stages. Perhaps genius is simply a superficial characteristic of the puppeteers' puppets.

Aside from the fear, panic, and chaos that the crisis of trust itself brought to the beings of the Dimensional Sea, the Dimensional Sea is actually thriving.

No one thanks the puppeteer, yet countless people enjoy the benefits the puppeteer brought to the Dimensional Sea.

The puppeteers never expect to receive gifts from these people, because becoming a transcendent being is the best gift. They even include the negative emotions of the entire dimensional sea as materials for making the puppets.

Of course, people don't think the puppeteer cares about these things, because the puppeteer herself admits that she is a witch.

A witch who enjoys committing all sorts of evil deeds.

The puppeteer, who is ignored for telling the truth, has his lies accepted as gospel by a large number of people, making his reputation in the Dimensional Sea even more terrifying.

When the puppeteer found out, he was not angry at all; instead, he accepted the change of identity quite quickly.

After all, puppeteers can create all sorts of puppets, so how could puppeteers themselves not know how to act?

When you're out in the world, you give yourself your own identity.

"Ha, you think I'd believe that? Alright, enough said. Just leave this illusory image of the Investiture of the Gods here; I'll occasionally recharge it. I'll do it because you're such a good storyteller."

"..."

That's why the puppeteer doesn't mind his students telling the truth about this, because nobody believes him.

On the contrary, people might think that these students have been deceived by the puppeteer, and feel pity for them (thinking they are looking at fools), so they might give them some small favors.

In a sense, the puppeteer's judgment was correct.

Judging from the world consciousness's reaction, Chen Luo didn't think the Clow Cards' world consciousness would believe him after hearing his explanation.

Headache……

"Whether that Clow Card world consciousness is one of the Puppeteer's puppets is hard to say. But as the Puppeteer's apprentice, you have a natural ability to connect with it."

"Because she always considers herself a puppeteer's puppet, she almost never interacts with other world consciousnesses. This time, you can help her import some goods that other world consciousnesses need, which should be very helpful for the development of her world."

"For your sake, I can help you collect all the items, and I won't charge a commission... But, could you ask her what specialties her world has? I recently earned some World Sources and don't know what to buy."

The reason why world consciousnesses say this is because those who have experienced the initial crisis of trust and then feel that they might be one of the puppets are relatively ancient world consciousnesses. They must have a lot of good things in their possession, and they can buy things that the other party doesn't need.

"You can also use this opportunity to leave your phantom image on the 'Investiture of the Gods' list in the worlds of mutual trading consciousness, as a commission for referrals. It also helps you build a closer relationship with that world consciousness. Since it considers itself a puppet of your teacher, you can conveniently earn some extra money this way."

"I already said, my teacher has never made a World Consciousness Doll."

"Yes, yes, I'll take your word for it. But... if that's really the case, shouldn't you help him travel to other worlds? Right?"

“Okay, I admit you have a point… Take a look at this list, see how many items you can collect. No price gouging allowed.” Chen Luo took out the list given to him by the consciousness of the Clow Card world.

Chen Luo is the kind of person who responds better to gentle persuasion than force.

The world consciousness looked at Chen Luo with the eyes of a pitiful old woman left behind who needed to buy something but was too embarrassed to ask her juniors—no, the other party was at most a thirty-year-old older sister—and Chen Luo really couldn't stand it.

After all, it's just a matter of teleporting a few times... and maybe we can even take this opportunity to explore other unexplored worlds.

Moreover... this is an identity mission.

If you can help, then help.

Chapter 2047 A lonely old woman? No, a socially awkward older sister!

[Dark Archmage]: Try purchasing the world-class resources listed below. It's okay if you can't buy them.

Reward: 1000 Primogems + Clow Cards

It's no wonder Chen Luo was overthinking things; this mission even felt like delivering raw gems.

Chen Luo was really struggling to resist such unsolicited kindness.

But this mission is not only good for the world, but also for Chen Luo.

It was impossible for Chen Luo not to do it.

Therefore, Chen Luo could only try his best to do things properly.

"I even feel like some kind of rich kid next door who's eating up the family fortune," Chen Luo sighed.

Chen Luo said this because after he accepted the mission, the world consciousness directly gave him 50 shares of the World Source.

That's right, Chen Luo didn't need to give any guarantees; he just gave it to him directly.

The other party might be thinking, "Anyway, I'm the puppeteer's puppet, and I've run into the puppeteer's only true disciple. So what if I'm fooled?"

And that's not the key point. The key point is that, according to the World Consciousness's estimate, if all the items on the list are purchased, it would only require about 30 units of World Source.

Chen Luo, the middleman, can earn 20 shares of the World Source.

Chen Luo was completely numb.

That world consciousness exerted pressure on Chen Luo that he had never felt before.

This is 20 portions of the World Source, not 20 strands of Root Breath...

Even twenty strands of primordial aura would be enough to buy 20 Star God Origin Marks.

This wealth, rounded up, is equivalent to 4 raw stones.

If Chen Luo plans to abscond with the money, he can directly earn 10 raw stones!

And barring any unforeseen circumstances, the other party will definitely not issue a warrant for Chen Luo's arrest.

But Chen Luozhen couldn't bring herself to steal the money that a frail, elderly woman (living alone) had worked hard to earn her entire life.

[You don't need to apply this image to that world consciousness. For a world consciousness, not communicating with other world consciousnesses is the norm, so it's at most a bit taciturn, not exactly lonely.]

"..."

My lord, I have a plan.

"If you come up with any shady ideas, I'll skin you alive."

【Oh, no, that's not it. I was thinking that when you have 20 World Sources left, remember to leave them in that world and leave. Or, buy something that's extremely helpful to his development but useless to you. Then, since you've already bought it, the other party won't be able to refuse.】

This is a common trick used to deal with elderly family members.

When dealing with elderly family members, don't ask them what they want... just say you don't want anything.

Buy it first, then we'll talk.

If she's not satisfied, we can help her get a refund.

Anyway, the elderly don't know how to use mobile phones. They are useful to them, but they don't want to use them, so they can't be returned.

The same applies to this world consciousness, since it doesn't communicate with other world consciousnesses anyway.

There's no way to get a refund.

Why do I have this weird feeling of being bullied by a socially awkward older sister?

That's exactly how you feel. You're clearly bullying the socially awkward older sister.

[Furthermore, you can threaten her, after all, you are the puppeteer's only direct disciple. According to her logic, your status should be slightly higher than hers.]

"Damn, that's amazing."

Chen Luo felt he was becoming more and more like a villain.

"Hey, River God, are you listening?" The young Heavenly Emperor tapped the table in dissatisfaction.

"Huh?" Chen Luo was dazed for a moment, then realized what was happening.

I am currently reporting the results of the battle for the Abyss Passage Map in the Immortal Realm Conference Room, and then trying to give some gifts to the Spiritual Realm that has been working hard, and then go down to hold a celebration banquet.

Although this victory was insignificant, the Heavenly Emperor appreciated that this tie was hard-won. He and his seniors could not go down to the Immortal Realm and had to rely on the efforts of the younger generation. Now that the younger generation had worked hard, they should naturally be rewarded.

We were just discussing the issue of rewards.

Then Chen Luo, the person in charge of distributing the rewards, got distracted.

"You weren't listening at all... I want to see your 3000-word self-criticism on the table before the next meeting. Otherwise, don't bother coming to the Immortal Realm meeting room." The young Heavenly Emperor said harshly.

“…Okay.” Chen Luo narrowed his eyes and stared at the Heavenly Emperor until the Heavenly Emperor felt guilty before nodding.

Even in the celestial conference room, one still has to give the Heavenly Emperor some face.

But you'd better pray that when you come to the bar today, you don't step in with your left foot first.

"Alright, the issue of rewards has been discussed. A list will be drafted for review later, and you must distribute them carefully according to the list," the Heavenly Emperor said.

"Yes, Your Majesty," Chen Luo said respectfully.

At least in the Immortal Realm meeting room, we should give Xiao Jiu some face.

Hopefully, Xiao Jiu can show off her status in public, because it's not easy to suffer in private.

"Furthermore, when I was comprehending the Heavenly Dao recently, I suddenly discovered that due to the recent extraterrestrial demon incident, the two worlds have become connected. Therefore, the restriction on the connection between the two worlds will be lifted in one year. I hope everyone can prepare accordingly," the young Heavenly Emperor said.

This news caught the attention of the other immortals in the Immortal Realm meeting room.

In the Immortal Realm, comprehending the Great Dao to understand more information is standard practice for powerful figures. However, this time, it was the Heavenly Emperor, not a powerful figure, who was the first to comprehend the Great Dao. This may indicate that the Heavenly Emperor's strength has reached a new level.

Or perhaps it represents that the Heavenly Emperor has stopped slacking off.

It's no secret that the Heavenly Emperor's avatar works here while his main body spends his days idly in the river of time.

But regardless of who discovered this news through understanding the ways of heaven, it is also very important to actively carry out preparatory work after learning about the situation.

"..." Chen Luo was not surprised by this news at all, because it was Chen Luo who told Xiao Jiu this news.

However, Chen Luo did not expect the delay to be so high, because Chen Luo had told Xiao Jiu about this a long time ago.

"Very well. Speak if you have anything to say, otherwise the court is adjourned." After finishing his important remarks, the young Heavenly Emperor lay down on his seat and began a semi-retired state.

If no one speaks within three seconds, the Immortal Realm meeting will be adjourned on the spot!

"Your Majesty, I have something to report."
