Their commission was suspicious.

"A thousand calamities!" Klein said anxiously.

As fellow Lawbearers, Klein was able to sense who the Lawbearer was.

Klein was quite startled at the time.

"Oh, then it's alright. The spot for the Thousand Herrschers that Qianjie took is actually yours."

Everything is going according to plan.

"Ah, so you mean I'm the one who ruined him?" Klein became even more anxious.

"Relax, it's just bad luck for others to be chosen as the Herrscher of a Thousand. It's just bad luck for the Herrscher of a Thousand to be chosen as the Herrscher of a Thousand... But since you're so worried, let's go take a look together." After saying that, Chen Luo bent down and picked up the tiny Klein.

This is Klein number 3, the loli version of Klein that Mebius deliberately kept behind.

"Put me down, put me down."

"You're walking too slowly. I'll take you there."

"Chen Luo, you're not in a hurry at all. Is it because everything is going according to plan?" Little Klein, who was being held in Chen Luo's arms like a military doll, asked curiously.

When it comes to wielding armed dolls, Chen Luo is a professional.

"More or less. I don't know if it's because the world lines converged, or because my interference in this world was really not that significant, so you were originally one of the thousand Herrschers, but I turned you into a thousand Herrschers before the thousand Herrschers turned you into a clone, so your spot became vacant."

"And because I did some minor things that are not worth mentioning to outsiders, this shift was transferred to Qian Jie. So it's not entirely an accident," Chen Luo said.

While the user-friendly plugins may not perform very well in the Dimensional Sea, they generally function reliably and without errors within the world.

The user-friendly plugin will not deliberately mention some minor things in order to keep Chen Luo's enthusiasm for the world, but it will not deliberately omit some very important things.

For example... after a thousand tribulations, one becomes the law-maker for a thousand people.

"Why?" Klein asked, puzzled.

Becoming a thousand-person law enforcer probably isn't a good thing, right?

If it were a good thing, Chen Luo wouldn't have deliberately turned Klein into a Herrscher of a Thousand People ahead of time, using this method to avoid this crisis.

"Klein, Klein, you are still too young... The difference between you and Qianjie is that when you were chosen by the Herrscher of a Thousand, it was you who suffered, while when Qianjie was chosen by the Herrscher of a Thousand, it was the Herrscher of a Thousand who suffered."

"What do you mean? Qian Jie is very strong... but being chosen by the Herrscher of a Thousand must be tough for him, right?"

And shouldn't being chosen by the Lawgiver of a Thousand People mean equality for all beings?

Could someone with superior strength resist or even kill another?

"That's absolutely right. Logically speaking, even if Qian Jie is indeed very strong, being chosen by the Herrscher of Domination is already a huge problem..."

Chen Luo had actually thought about it. If the abilities of the Herrscher of a Thousand People were not random, but designated, and all 13 Heroes were designated, and some important figures, such as Mei, were also designated, would the Herrscher of a Thousand People be the most terrifying Herrscher?

However, even those who judge others by the standards of a thousand people have their own criteria for selecting people... The standard is that they possess extremely strong negative emotions.

For example, Klein harbors an extremely strong fear of Honkai.

For example, Thousand Tribulations' adjutant, Imer, particularly wanted to kill Thousand Tribulations.

Hua actually has the potential to be one of the most powerful Herrschers, because in the original storyline, Hua is currently in a period of confusion after the captain became a Herrscher and was killed by Kevin, and is being ostracized.

However, after the Ninth Herrscher incident, the social structure collapsed, and there are quite a few people currently filled with negative emotions. Not being selected is the norm, and those who are selected might as well go buy lottery tickets.

"However... a long time ago I gave Qianjie a mask. That mask was a [silver] enhanced version of the River God's, a four-star item. Its effect was to give the person who wore the mask a special buff—as long as the person was wearing the mask, they could maintain their own identity. It sounds like it has a lot of drawbacks, since nobody wears a mask all the time."

While this item isn't powerful enough to completely negate any mental influence, it's still sufficient to resist the Herrscher of a Thousand.

“But Qianjie…it seems I’ve never seen him take off his mask.” Klein said thoughtfully.

“Yes, so Qianjie and that prop are a perfect match.” Chen Luo nodded.

Even the Masked Fool can't wear a mask forever, but Thousand Calamities can.

"The main reason for preparing a Herrscher of a Thousand for Qianjie is to find a cheat code for him," Chen Luo continued.

"A cheat? Does Qianjie need the Herald of a Thousand People to give him a cheat?" Klein didn't understand, but he was greatly shocked.

The Law Master of a Thousand Men, etc., isn't he just one punch away from taking down a Thousand Calamities?

Even if all the Herrschers of the Thousand were tied together, they probably wouldn't be enough for Thousand Calamity to kill alone.

For Qianjie, apart from finding the true form of the Herald of a Thousand People, killing him is really not difficult.

However, the Herrschers of the previous civilization had one major advantage: all Herrschers of the Thousand would possess a weakened version of the abilities of the Herrschers who appeared before them.

For example, Imer possesses a weakened version of the Herrscher of Death's powers.

I didn't really see what powers Klein had in the original storyline, mainly because Klein died too quickly.

"Don't underestimate the Herrscher of a Thousand... Although the Herrscher of a Thousand's core is useless and weak, only good for bullying ordinary people and weaker fusion warriors, the Herrscher of a Thousand's greatest strength lies in its ability to reach the darkness in the opponent's heart. Therefore... as an external accessory, the Herrscher of a Thousand's core can help Qian Jie share the burden of mental alienation," Chen Luo said.

"So that's how it is." Klein finally understood.

This is the ultimate reason why Chen Luo manipulated fate to transfer the Herrscher of a Thousand, which originally belonged to Klein, to Qian Jie.

Qian Jie currently appears to be merely overly irritable and unpredictable, but after undergoing the fusion surgery, he will continue to suffer from the effects of mental alienation.

However, it's different with the core of the Thousand Heralds. Doesn't the core of the Thousand Heralds only select those with abnormal and extreme emotions as its carriers?

The core significance of the Herrscher of a Thousand and the purpose of handing the mask to Qian Jie are to allow it to bear the cost of mental alienation for Qian Jie during the fusion surgery.

When the spirit of the Thousand Law Masters is corrupted, what does it have to do with the Thousand Tribulations?

Now, under Chen Luo's slight influence, the higher-ups of Fire Chaser are gradually delegating power to Mei. In addition, Mei herself does have the ability, so Mei's voice in Fire Chaser is getting stronger and stronger.

Don't worry about anyone else. As long as Mei knows that Chen Luo has the tools and is helping Qian Jie to maintain his own identity, no one else will care.

This was May's decision, and as the greatest scientist of the previous civilization, her decision must have profound implications.

Don't worry about those high-level illiterate moths who didn't earn seventeen or eighteen doctoral degrees; you wouldn't understand them anyway.

This is part of the plan.jpg

[This sounds a bit like Parasyte. In Parasyte, other characters have their heads completely eroded and become puppets, but when the protagonist was parasitized, due to some unforeseen circumstances, the parasite didn't erode his head and instead merged with his hand, making him a perfect accessory.]

While Chen Luo was chatting with Klein, Chen Luo led Klein to Qian Jie.

At this moment, Qian Jie was sitting in the lounge, and apart from Qian Jie and his adjutant, there was no one else in the lounge.

Within the Moth of Flames, if you simply shout "Thousand Calamities is back," no matter how big the conflict is between the people at the time, they will immediately calm down... This shows just how popular Thousand Calamities is.

So when Qianjie arrived at the lounge, there was no one else there.

Perhaps because the two of them were too bored, when Qianjie was sitting next to him in a daze, Imer pulled out a dagger and attacked him.

Then Qianjie threw him over his shoulder, knocking him unconscious.

"Qianjie, you and your adjutant seem to have a good relationship, don't you?" Chen Luo greeted Qianjie as he appeared at the door of the lounge.

"From which eye did you see that I'm on good terms with him? But I'm quite comfortable with this adjutant, so I didn't change him," Qianjie said with a cold snort.

"Really? But I heard from Alicia that you even asked her to help you get your adjutant out of prison." Chen Luo raised an eyebrow.

"Hmph, how many people did that woman Alicia tell about this? But it's not surprising if it's you." Qianjie's tone didn't sound very friendly, but the fact that he could sit down and talk calmly showed that he wasn't in a bad mood.

"I haven't told many people, at least not like the incident where Kosmos was scolded to tears by Kevin, which made everyone in the Firemoth know about it," Chen Luo said after thinking for a moment.

"Hmph, the one in your arms is... your child with Mebius?" Qianjie clearly didn't want to delve deeper into that topic.

“…That’s right. Little Ke, quickly call him Uncle Qianjie.”

Although Klein and Mebius both have green hair, you're truly blind.

“I am Klein,” Klein protested softly.

"Has Mebius finally gone so far as to target her favorite assistant? Turning her into a fusion warrior made from the same material as herself? And then dying in her loli form?"

"No, it's the effect of one of my props that allows Klein to create clones. It's mainly because there's just too much work to do in the Mebius Biological Lab, and Klein is too busy to handle it all, so I gave her a hand."

"...Speak, what brings you here?"

Qian Jie inexplicably felt that Chen Luo was far more insane than Mebius.

"Oh, I just came to ask if I still have the mask I gave you before."

Chen Luo came here for two purposes.

First, let's look at the fusion state of the core of the Herrscher of a Thousand and the Thousand Calamities; second, let's look at the mask.

If the initial mental modification when the Herrscher core was brought down was unsuccessful, then like a parasite, a bad start leads to total defeat.

Even if Qianjie removes his mask now, the Herrscher core can no longer control his mind.

However, since a Herrscher core did indeed form within Qianjie's body, there is indeed a connection between the two, and it is a spiritual connection. The core is "dead," but the channel remains.

"...It was shattered when I killed the Honkai Beast. The fragments are still there, do you still want them?" Qianjie was unusually silent for a moment.

"Is there only a fragment left? That's fine too. Give it to me, and I'll reforge it for you."

"Recast?"

“Yes, I’m currently forging weapons in the engineering department at Velvi. Plus, the design for Velvi’s Ninth Divine Sword is nearing completion, but not entirely finished. I’m taking advantage of this free time to ask around and see if anyone I know has anything they’d like me to forge,” Chen Luo said.

The creation of the Divine Keys was not entirely sequential. After the creation of the Seventh Divine Key, the Eighth Divine Key should have been created. However, given the Ninth Herrscher's outstanding performance in the fight against humanity, the higher-ups of the Flame Chaser decided to have Velvet create the more powerful Ninth Divine Key first.

"Come with me." Qianjie got up, then "gently" woke up Imer, who had ambushed him and been knocked unconscious by his over-the-shoulder throw, and then walked towards his dormitory.

Chen Luogen stood behind the two, sizing up Yimoer while simultaneously observing Qianjie.

As Chen Luo's special subordinate, Klein is like an anomaly. She can sense whether others have become Herrschers of a Thousand, but the other Herrschers of a Thousand cannot sense Klein.

Therefore, neither of the two Herrschers of a Thousand discovered Klein's problem.

Yes, there are two.

Initially, only Qianjie became the Herald of a Thousand People.

Meanwhile, Imer became the Herrscher of a Thousand when he was thrown over the shoulder by Thousand Calamity.

The emergence of a thousand Heralds is not instantaneous; each person's physique is different, so the time it takes to become a thousand Heralds also varies.

Furthermore, they also need time to learn the weakening Herrscher ability that comes with the core of the powerful thousand Herrschers.

Take Imer, for example. He knows he has become the Herrscher of a Thousand, but he doesn't dare to familiarize himself with his weakened Herrscher of Death powers in front of everyone.

However, the way Imer is looking at Qianjie is becoming increasingly strange.

The Herrschers of a Thousand are not as capable in direct combat as other Herrschers, so their main task is to infiltrate and collect the Divine Keys that have caused great damage to the Honkai.

Quantum communication is another capability of the Thousand Law Enforcers, ensuring real-time communication between different Thousand Law Enforcers.

However, when Imer realized that Thousand Tribulations possessed the core of a thousand Herrschers, he discovered that the other party was not responding to his communications.

Qianjie became an anomaly.

An outcast in the eyes of a thousand law enforcers.

And those who are different need to be eliminated.

"Your killing intent is too obvious, you idiot." Qianjie paused for a moment, and before Imer could react, he placed his hand on the back of Imer's head and slammed his head against the wall next to him.

Imer fainted on the spot.

Then Qianjie continued leading everyone toward their dormitory.

During this process, Qianjie did not sense anything unusual, because... Imer often tried to assassinate him, but this time the killing intent was particularly obvious.

"Is it really okay to ignore him, Doctor?" Klein asked after glancing at Immel.

"Don't worry about him, he'll wake up soon. You'll get used to this." Qianjie said without turning his head.

But Klein wasn't asking whether or not to care about the person who had fainted; rather, she was referring to the person's process of becoming a Herrscher of a Thousand.

"Don't worry about it." Chen Luo shook his head.

Once Imer dies, Imer, who is controlled by the Herrscher Core, will return to normal due to dollification.

Furthermore, it will come with a weakened version of the A-rank or B-rank Herrscher of Death's power as its initial talent.

Not long after, Chen Luo followed Qian Jie to his dormitory.

When Qian Jie took the mask out of the dormitory, Chen Luo was surprised to find that the mask had been repaired, although there were still quite a few cracks.

"I didn't realize you liked this mask so much."
