Their commission was suspicious.

"Alright, stop praising me. Let's go back to the bar. We have work to do," Chen Luo said.

"Okay, sure." Gretchen nodded and then looked back at the World Tree with a hint of reluctance.

"You can watch it whenever you want, it's not limited to this moment."

"Um……"

……

People woken up by Chen Luo under the World Tree gradually arrived at the bar, and a breakfast time was set up for them.

Chen Luo wasn't just preventing them from sleeping because he was awake; the World Tree was currently undergoing rapid development, so it was absorbing nutrients quite quickly.

Although 1/10 of the absorbed energy will be converted back into higher quality energy, it is not a good thing to replenish it too quickly.

The World Tree used to be able to lie down for a whole day, but now it should rest after lying down for one night.

"You're here on March 7th," Chen Luo greeted.

Greta observed the pink-haired girl from the side.

The pink that Gretchen saw on her was similar to, but different from, Alicia's color.

The girl named March 7th is dressed in even more cheerful pink.

With the ability to observe the essence of all things, Gretchen has no need to worry about being deceived, because a person's true nature cannot be concealed.

"Ah, it's Chen Luo... Wangcai, long time no see." Just as March 7th was about to say something, he was drawn to Tingyun.

Tingyun is also working hard to grow taller.

So last night I dug a hole and buried myself in the sunset.

"So what do you want from me?" Chen Luo asked.

"Oh, is that so? I've come to invite you to Tingyun's funeral."

"!!!" Upon hearing March 7's words, Xiao Tingyun, who was being soothed by Chen Luo, froze.

Oh no, this day is finally coming.

"And I can't find the star, so Chen Luo, could you look for it?" March 7th asked.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

“No problem.” Chen Luo readily agreed.

"Gresh, there's work to be done."

"Oh, and who is this...?"

"My assistant today is Gretchen."

"Hello."

"Hello."

The two beautiful girls greeted each other.

"But Chen Luo, don't you change your assistants a bit too often? And why are they all beautiful girls? The day before yesterday it was Fu Hua, yesterday it was Vita, and today it's Greta..."

“Emm…I don’t know either. But my assistant has always been Hua, it’s just that she’s often busy…it’s my job. The reason Greta is my assistant today is mainly for research purposes,” Chen Luo said.

"Oh……"

March 7th didn't understand what "drawing inspiration" meant, but after glancing at the paintbrush in Gretchen's hand, she understood.

It's normal for painters to choose their subjects.

"Let me see, Xing is in... in Tabushi now? Oh, then I'll go there."

"Okay, thank you for your help. I'll wait for you at the ferry crossing at Liuyun Ferry," said March 7th.

"no problem."

After accepting the commission, Chen Luo led Gretchen through the newly opened bar door to the Celestial Ship's Temple.

Logically speaking, Gretchen should feel excited about arriving in a new place, but Gretchen also felt that the scene and architectural style in front of her were somewhat familiar.

Because Gretchen also played games during her interstellar travels and visited the Immortal Ship, though not Luofu. Now that I think about it, it must have been another Immortal Ship.

Gretchen even has hundreds of millions of credits on the Star Railway, but unfortunately that's in the future.

"Ah, Chen Luo, what brings you here?" Xing saw Chen Luo.

"I've come to invite you to Tingyun's funeral," Chen Luo said, holding the baby Tingyun in his arms.

What happened on your end?

"Oh, isn't this the escape of Suiyang? Then the Taibu Temple suffered a disaster, and this is what happened—Fu Xuan was possessed by Suiyang." Xing pointed to Fu Xuan, who was discussing with Qing Que not far ahead and whose usual demeanor was very different.

“Suiyang, you cannot understand human pleasure. You are imprisoned in the illusion of determinism and cannot break free. Therefore, you hope that everyone who glimpses the future will suffer the same pain as you. You, you, completely misunderstand humanity.”

At this moment, Fu Xuan and Sui Yang's combination was being relentlessly pressured by Qing Que, and their momentum was being shattered.

After a long debate, Fu Xuan seemed to be breaking free from Sui Yang's control.

"Xi Yan, get off Tai Bu!" Qing Que shouted sharply.

Qingque, who used to only know how to slack off, now appeared domineering.

Bluebird. You've shown us that you can slack off, you can give up, but you can't be truly incompetent.

"Um...do you need any help?" Chen Luo suddenly asked.

"Hmm, can you help? Then please, lend Taibu a hand," Qingque said.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

After receiving the commission, Chen Luo walked up to Fu Xuan and Sui Yang, who were fighting each other.

"Chen... Chen Luo!" Fu Xuan subconsciously took a step back.

The fact that Chen Luo could make Fu Xuan, who was fighting against Sui Yang, subconsciously retreat shows that Chen Luo has a great deal of prestige in Fu Xuan's mind.

“I think I understand now. Your destiny, Suiyang, has always been one-way, and your fate is predetermined, right?” Chen Luo suddenly asked.

"That's right!"

“Okay…” Chen Luo nodded to himself, then suddenly pulled out a gun and pointed it at Fu Xuan’s forehead.

"What are you doing?" Fu Xuan and Sui Yang both wanted to back away, but their bodies were firmly held in place.

"Guess... whether I'll shoot you?" Chen Luo asked with a smile.

"Huh? I can't believe it! I've already foreseen the future!"

"Bang!" Chen Luo decisively fired his gun.

Fu Xuan was shot without hesitation.

Then he started laughing.

This time, the Revolver of Friendship seemed to work on both Fu Xuan and Sui Yang, so both Fu Xuan and Sui Yang were laughing. Their laughter overlapped.

"Hahahaha, why? Why didn't I guess right? This is impossible, hahaha!" Suiyang said incredulously.

If predestination is a delusion of Suiyang, then this delusion has not failed him. However, his failure to predict the future has greatly shocked Suiyang.

"Now, Gretchen."

"Hmm." Hearing Chen Luo's words, Gretchen lightly touched Fu Xuan with her paintbrush, then flicked it to the right.

In Gretchen's eyes, Fu Xuan had other foreign influences, and for Gretchen, whose abilities had been enhanced, separating him from someone who already showed signs of splitting was not difficult.

The foreign colors on Fu Xuan's body separated from Fu Xuan's own colors, and at the same time, a wisp of primordial energy was expelled from Fu Xuan's body.

[Ding! Mission complete!]

Huo Huo was about to use a magical artifact to put it away, but Chen Luo stopped him.

"Wait a moment."

"Mm." Huo Huo nodded.

Meanwhile, Fu Xuan, who had separated from Sui Yang, covered his forehead.

"Master Taibu, are you alright?" Qingque asked with concern.

"I...I'm fine, just a bit of a headache. Hahaha..."

The fact that he was laughing while having a headache only made Fu Xuan's headache worse, until Chen Luo's hand landed on Fu Xuan's head.

Fu Xuan's pain was quickly dispelled, and then all that remained was laughter.

“Brother Chen Luo, even if you hadn’t fired, I should have been able to separate the colors,” Gretchen said from the side.

"Oh, really?" Chen Luo said, rubbing Fu Xuan's head with surprise.

"It's alright, hahaha, Chen Luo was trying to help me after all, hahaha..." Fu Xuan smiled helplessly.

"Is this the Suiyang? Although it doesn't have much power, if you get entangled with it, it can really plunge you into endless despair, hahaha..." Fu Xuan looked at the purple Suiyang.

"Hahaha, why would I be wrong..." Sui Yang's laughter continued, and his initial hopelessness at realizing he was bound to lose turned into a questioning of life itself.

Losing isn't scary; what's scary is when your abilities are no longer accurate.

"Why did we lose?" Chen Luo asked repeatedly.

Isn't that obvious?

"No way, hahaha, I don't believe it, I don't believe I'd guess wrong, hahaha..." Sui Yang said somewhat maniacally.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

"I have one more question for you." Chen Luo stepped forward.

"Go ahead and ask, hahaha..."

"Guess if I'll shoot you again this time?" Chen Luo pulled out his Friendship Revolver again and held it to the other man's head.

Does Suiyang have no physical form? This has no impact on the Friendship Revolver.

"I bet it will! Hahaha..."

“You guessed right.” Chen Luo nodded.

"boom!"

"Hahaha, it hurts so much, hahaha, I guessed right, hahaha!" Suiyang became ecstatic.

If we actually shoot him, he'll have to thank us!

[Ding! Mission complete!]

"Oh no, Chen Luo has ruined Suiyang!" Qingque exclaimed.

As expected, Chen Luo is more terrifying than Sui Yang.

"Alright, all done. Now put this Suiyang away," Chen Luo said.

"Alright, we should go now. It wouldn't be good if we were late for the funeral. What are you thinking about?" Chen Luo patted Xing on the shoulder.

“I’m wondering… do you really not know that this beautiful blue-haired girl can’t separate Suiyang and Taibu, or do you know but just have an itch to shoot?” Hoshizuki pondered.

"Ahem, silly child, of course it's the former." Chen Luo gently tapped Xing's head.

Don't be so clever next time.

"Oh. Right, since this Gretchen can forcibly expel the Sun from the Diviner, doesn't that mean she can expel the Smoke from that Underworld Child?" Xing suddenly realized something.

"You really think I have no other way to drive away Suiyang? I was just teasing Fuyan. Oh, remember not to tell that idiot Fuyan." Chen Luo patted Xing's head.

[Does being a fool mean you deserve to be laughed at?]

Fools don't deserve it, but those who are truly evil deserve it.

"Wait, Chen Luo, why didn't you use another method to help the Grand Diviner separate the year and sun?" Huo Huo, who hadn't been patted on the head by Chen Luo, asked with some confusion.

"..."×n

"Hahaha, Chen Luo, stop right there, hahaha, don't run away..." Fu Xuan picked up his miniature stargazing instrument.

"I'm sorry, I was wrong! Run, Xing!" Chen Luo grabbed Greta and ran.

"Huh, what does this have to do with me?" Xing's mind went blank.
