Their commission was suspicious.

"Speak," the young Heavenly Emperor said lazily.

Although the Immortal Realm has a clear hierarchy of ancestors, the relationship between rulers and subjects is more like that of two thousand years ago, without the constraints of rules and regulations such as ruler-subject, father-son, etc.

The fact that the Heavenly Emperor has issued Heavenly Laws for thousands of years, yet none of them have been passed, is enough to tell the story.

The dignity and order that had been maintained for so long in front of Chen Luo, the newly arrived deity, were completely exposed because he was too lazy to pretend anymore.

“Your Majesty, what do you think about us pooling our faith power to create another god for the mortal realm? Of course, I’m not saying the River God is bad, but the River God used to need faith power, so everyone sold their faith power to him. Now it seems the River God doesn’t need it anymore,” said an immortal.

The reason the other party said this was because Chen Luo had collected a large amount of faith power more than a month ago.

At the time, people thought the river god had some special needs, so when people were selling their faith power, they would prioritize the river god.

Although the immortals in the celestial meeting room should theoretically need incense offerings, there are still some available.

However, reality is unreasonable. More than half of the gods in the celestial conference room do not really need the power of incense offerings, because their foundation is built up step by step through their own cultivation.

Undeniably, this deity made this suggestion partly because he wanted to break Chen Luo's information monopoly, but his reasoning was indeed sound and convincing.

One person's opinion is worth listening to, but it shouldn't be taken at face value.

"I don't care... I still have some faith power here, so if you have any suitable candidates, please recommend them... Although I think you old-timers who can't communicate with the lower realm probably don't know anyone else." The young Heavenly Emperor understood the other party's implication, but he didn't mind, because he knew Chen Luo didn't mind either.

That damned Chen Luo! Just over a month ago, when he entered the Immortal Realm meeting room, he was still cautious and careful, worried that some treacherous subjects might try to harm him.

But after a while, even the Heavenly Emperor began to worry that Chen Luo might suddenly fall ill and then go on a killing spree in the Immortal Realm meeting room.

It's only been less than two months!

Even if your strength level increases exponentially, it shouldn't be this fast.

That damned Chen Luo!

The young Heavenly Emperor grumbled inwardly until he met Chen Luo's cold gaze.

After much deliberation in the Celestial Realm meeting room, the gods decided to bestow the power of faith upon Su Yuan, who had contributed the most to the Abyss Compendium competition.

If the other party is not interested in being deified, then the order of succession will continue.

Although becoming a god doesn't really have much impact on future potential—for example, some big shots in the celestial council hold godhood concurrently…

However, Su Yuan is still too young, and her power system is still in the process of being perfected. If she becomes obsessed with divine authority and cannot extricate herself, she will inevitably develop a sense of dependence.

This is the fundamental reason why everyone doesn't want outstanding young people to become gods.

While the power of faith can indeed be incredibly effective at amplifying attacks, experiencing its benefits too early and developing a dependency on it can be extremely detrimental.

"The list will be passed on... But the problem is, I'm the one who got 2nd and 6th place? And I'm the one who got 3rd and 4th place." Chen Luo, sitting in the bar, looked at the list with a headache.

The number one spot goes to Su Yuan, but Su Yuan probably has no interest in it.

The second place goes to the River God.

The third place is Yun Lian'er... to be precise, it's Silver Yun Lian'er.

The fourth place goes to Liu Wenxuan, this is the real person.

Yunxia is in 5th place.

They all contributed so much because of the strategy guides Chen Luo provided. After all, the higher the contribution, the more dungeons they could conquer, and the more items they could obtain. Chen Luo had no reason not to give them strategy guides.

Chen Luo is in 6th place, simply because the healing effect of the Healing Cocoon combined with the River God's ability is too good. Otherwise, he would only be 10th at most... Chen Luo was carried by Chen Luo.

The 7th person is the guide... Chen Luo obtained his soul lamp from her.

……

There aren't many S-level talents to begin with, and at a glance, everyone there is a familiar face.

"Forget it, let them figure it out themselves." Chen Luo was only responsible for handing over the list and the decision-making of the Immortal Realm to the relevant departments.

"jingle!"

The wind chimes rang.

"Chen Luo, I heard that at the Immortal Realm meeting today..." Xiao Jiu ran into the bar.

"Stop!" Chen Luo suddenly said.

"Hmm?" Xiao Jiu, who stepped into the bar with her right foot first, tilted her head.

[Since I didn't step in with my left foot first, I won't be fined 3000 words.]

"Because you stepped into the bar with your right foot first today, you'd better hand in a 6000-word self-criticism before opening tomorrow night, or you can forget about coming to the bar," Chen Luo said coldly.

"..." Xiao Jiu's mouth was wide open.

"Become a god? I won't." Upon hearing Chen Luo's question, Su Yuan immediately refused.

LOL, anyone can be this god if they want, I'm not going to be one.

"Why? Being a god is great. Gods can use the power of faith, and because of their different divine roles, they might also possess some mysterious powers," Xiao Jiu asked, clinging to the edge of the table.

"Furthermore, I also have a Investiture of the Gods here, which can seal and confer titles upon anyone holding a divine office. You should know that, right? I can directly raise your divine status by one level, regardless of what kind of divine power you possess," Chen Luo said, taking out the Investiture of the Gods.

"...Don't even mention that damned Investiture of the Gods!" Xiao Jiu looked at Chen Luo with disgust.

It wasn't that Xiao Jiu disliked the extent to which the Investiture of the Gods was elevated, but rather that Xiao Jiu disliked the Investiture of the Gods itself.

After all, Xiao Jiu is the one who has a divine position.

Who would like something that specifically restrains them? Like the God-Slaying Whip, or the Investiture of the Gods.

Moreover, the Investiture of the Gods is even more despicable than the God-Slaying Whip.

The God-Slaying Whip only beats gods, while the Investiture of the Gods even plunders the gods along with their divine authority.

In the afternoon, Chen Luo had already posted the conferment conditions of the Investiture of the Gods on the group network, and also posted a message on the bar's bulletin board.

There's no reason why Xiao Jiu wouldn't know.

"That's not the reason... it's just that I hate meetings. Besides, I'm on equal footing with Xiao Jiu in the bar, but in the Immortal Realm meeting room, I'm still overshadowed by Xiao Jiu. Becoming a god only lowers one's status, who would want to do that?" Su Yuan said indignantly.

Although Su Yuan had high expectations for a four-digit godhood and knew it would significantly boost her strength, she decided to forget about becoming a god.

If Su Yuan truly had an extreme pursuit of pure strength, she would have already had Chen Luo deify her. Why would she have waited until now?

Moreover, as everyone knows, divinity is a debuff!

"That's how sword cultivators are; they're all single-minded," Xiao Jiu said regretfully, turning her head.

Xiao Jiu felt that Su Yuan's reasons should be somewhat restrained.

If Su Yuan wasn't afraid of offending people, she would have said: "Excuse my bluntness, but there's absolutely no need to join such crooked paths!"

Sword cultivation is all about breaking through all laws with a single sword strike. Making a sword immortal a god is a mixed blessing, practically a no-win situation, so Xiao Jiu didn't strongly encourage it.

Moreover, if Su Yuan really wanted to become a god, she could just go to her cousin. Would her cousin ever mistreat her?

Chen Luo has long since passed the stage of collecting faith power and has instead become a major exporter of faith power, because there are currently 20 billion fanatical followers of Chen Luo in Chen Luo's Puppet Paradise who are continuously generating faith power.

If Chen Luo wanted to bestow titles upon gods, he could do so every so often.

“Me? I don’t have time. I saw Sakura today, and I’ll be spending the next period of time in another world. In my own world, you’ll probably only see me in silver, or at a bar.” Yun Xia shook her head.

Yunxia had no time for deification or meetings.

During the time of the Conferred Gods, Yun Xia would gain more benefits by staying in the world of Clow Cards, and this would also be related to the foundation of Yun Xia's existence.

"I'm busy." Yun Lian'er's answer was even more concise.

Unlike Yun Xia, Yun Lian'er's strength is steadily increasing. As long as she reads enough magic books and copies enough forbidden spells onto her innate items, Yun Lian'er's destructive power can be infinitely stacked.

This gradual yet steady increase in strength captivated Yun Lian'er.

"Then... what about Liu Wenxuan?"

“He’s forging iron,” Yunxia said.

After finishing the battle for the Abyss Compendium, Liu Wenxuan had been forging iron.

Because the Abyss Compendium battle was so intense that many people's weapons were destroyed, Liu Wenxuan took on a lot of jobs.

"That……"

"Alright, stop with this and that. Instead of worrying about who will be deified, you should worry about whether you can finish your 6000-word self-criticism," Chen Luo reminded him.

"..." After hearing Chen Luo's words, Xiao Jiu gave Chen Luo a resentful look, then picked up a pen and paper and moved closer to General Lei Dian.

"Can I borrow it to copy?" Xiao Jiu asked.

"..." General Lei Dian, who was writing Chen Luo's self-criticism in Chen Luo's handwriting, glanced at Xiao Jiu and then began writing his own self-criticism.

Copy if you want.

"Chen Luo, this isn't fair! Why didn't you include me when you were messing with the Holy Lord?" Yakumo Yukari said resentfully.

"It's not because I played a trick on you and didn't take you with me, it's because I didn't take you with me to the other world, right?"

"Yes, and there are also talismans." Yukari Yakumo nodded frankly.

Actually, talismans are not important to Yukari Yakumo, because Yukari Yakumo can do anything that talismans can do.

What talismans can't do, Yukari Yakumo can.

The main thing is that the world's worldview is really interesting... the balance of yin and yang.

But talismans are indeed very interesting toys.

"Because you didn't ask. It's not like we need to mobilize the whole team just to mess with the Holy Lord." Chen Luo shrugged.

"Could I go there? If possible, it would be even better if you could lend me the Book of Time. Please."

"It's possible, but what would you do in that world?"

“Go analyze the demonic energy,” Yakumo Yukari said.

"I have it right now."

“It’s not this kind of demonic energy that only enhances attributes. What I want to understand is a special kind of demonic energy that is closely connected to that world.” Yukari Yakumo shook her head.

"But using that demonic energy will make you ugly," Xiao Jiu reminded her.

“I know, but I don’t intend to use it. I just want to analyze it. This is my path to growth,” Yukari Yakumo said, waving her folding fan.

Although Chen Luo took away 7 of the 8 Great Demons, it does not mean that the demonic energy of the 8 Great Demons disappeared.

Demonic energy is the magical power left behind in the human world by the eight great demons.

The seven demons were simply taken away by Chen Luo; their existence wasn't erased.

Thousands of years ago, after the eight great demons were subdued by the eight immortal gods, some of the magic power of the seven great demons other than the Holy Lord was attached to the tokens of the immortal gods who subdued them and has remained to this day.

Although demonic energy can only manifest in the world after being activated by the Black Qi Star Phenomenon, it is not a problem if there are historical records.

Yukari Yakumo has grown up for so long that her path is already fixed. If she wants to go further, she needs to continuously supplement this path, rather than opening up a new one.

In reality, very few people in bars need to use demonic energy.

Chen Luo did not hide the fact that he could give away other demonic energy.

But no one asked Chen Luo for it.

Maybe it's because they're embarrassed.

Moreover, since they didn't help or even provide any assistance, they naturally felt they had no right to ask for demonic energy.

So, as soon as the bar opened, Chen Luo distributed the demonic energy to the few people who had agreed to it beforehand.

The three portions of ordinary primordial demonic energy—earth, water, wind (the true form of fire is with Sandra, and silver is too strong to be suitable)—were given to Xiao Shi.

It wasn't that Chen Luo was unwilling to give Xiao Shi the silver earth, water, wind, and fire demonic energy, but rather that Xiao Shi couldn't control the silver demonic energy.

Although Xiaoshi is different from Yakumo Yukari and can explore other paths, Xiaoshi also follows a strategy of relentlessly pursuing one path to the end.

What Xiao Shi needs to do is to transform these four S-level demonic energies into a medium for influencing reality with his spirit.

The world is constructed from earth, water, wind, and fire; this is one of the most basic worldviews.

Therefore, as long as a person with knowledge of earth, water, wind, fire, and spirit continues to follow this path, they can completely influence reality with their spirit.

Giving Xiaoshi too much demonic energy would backfire, causing the elements of earth, water, wind, and fire to affect Xiaoshi's own spiritual attributes.

After Xiao Shi carried the four demonic energies of earth, water, wind, and fire for a long time and successfully broke through the barrier that allowed the mind to influence reality, Xiao Shi no longer needed to use demonic energy.
