Their commission was suspicious.

And coincidentally, the stargazer also happened to have a stargazing instrument in his hand, which could be used to access a great deal of knowledge.

……

Two days passed in the blink of an eye. Inside the ancient altar deep in the inner sea of ​​the empire, the girl strolled around and paused, curiously examining the characters she had never seen before.

The girl stood beneath the magnificent statue, gazing up at the ocean as blue as the night sky.

While the girl was distracted, her body seemed to possess a different consciousness, rapidly drawing the shape of an array on an ancient stone wall, using a fan as a brush and holding pre-prepared blood ink.

Dividing one's attention into two uses is another function of the Star Soul.

Even though the stargazer's eyes weren't looking ahead, it was as if there was a soul that could see everything, controlling parts of the stargazer's body to assist him.

True stargazing is not entirely driven by curiosity to observe things around; there is also a sense of caution involved.

Be on guard... for the unusual phenomena that should occur when a strange beast appears.

At that very moment, the space above the colossus began to twist and tear at a speed visible to the naked eye.

A scorching wave of air erupted from the spatial rift. When Guan Xing noticed this, he quickly moved away from the strange beast, but was also slightly impacted as a result... However, under the protection of the Guan Xing instrument, Guan Xing's body only swayed slightly.

Suddenly, a giant claw slammed out from the crack in space, landing squarely on the giant statue's head. The distortion of space intensified with the appearance of this giant claw, and in the blink of an eye, the last beast revealed its complete form.

It was a colossal beast engulfed in flames.

"Heh, you beast, do you still like this cage I prepared for you?" Guan Xing said as he swiftly drew the array diagram.

The strange beast seemed to understand the language of the stars, and suddenly let out a long roar, and flames rained down from the sky like a storm.

Just then, Guan Xing took out the magic lamp that he hadn't used in a long time.

With Chen Luo's authorization, Guan Xing has become the temporary genie of this magic lamp, able to immediately summon those who owe the lamp a wish.

"I was originally planning to delay by not summoning anyone, and to face them alone to make them complacent, so that I could quickly draw the array. I didn't expect this strange beast to be so intelligent." Guan Xing sighed, put the star-gazing instrument into the magic lamp, and then began to make a wish.

[Ding! The commission has been posted!] ×n

In an instant, several beams of light flashed, and Raven, Kita Shin, Yae, and even Rita all appeared.

[Ding! Mission complete!] ×n

Rita arrived near the stargazing site within the last two days.

The reason for inserting the star-gazing instrument before using the magic lamp was that the star-gazing had calculated the conclusion using the power of the star soul over the past two days.

If you want the genie to receive a benefit when making a wish, the genie might need to be inside the lamp.

Although this would temporarily deprive the stargazer of its protection, the stargazer didn't want to owe the genie too much.

Having summoned so many teammates with the magic lamp, protecting myself and finishing the array shouldn't be a problem.

Moreover, Guan Xing wanted to use his own power to successfully seal the strange beast, which could be considered a way to comfort the spirits of those "possibilities" in heaven.

Of course, the stargazer wasn't stupid; he would ask the genie for help in crucial moments.

Moreover, the Genie said he has the power of resurrection, so there's even less to worry about.

“Everyone, hold him off for a quarter of an hour… no, just a quarter of an hour,” said Guan Xing.

“Yes, Stargazer.” Rita nodded gracefully, then grabbed her large scythe and charged forward.

The others also rushed forward.

……

However, everyone underestimated the power of this strange beast.

In less than fifteen minutes, the altar located in the deep sea had turned into a sea of ​​fire.

The master of these flames, the last of the strange beasts, stood in the center of the altar, surveying the scattered crowd with the air of a victor.

Leaving aside the ceaseless rain of fire and breath attacks, the beast's armor-like body, wreathed in flames, was enough to block the vast majority of attacks.

At the same time, every attack by the group meant being burned by the raging flames.

Fortunately, because there were quite a few people, none of their injuries were serious.

"..."

After the group had been delayed for nearly fifteen minutes and was seeing that everyone was scattered, in order to prevent any casualties, Guan Xing skipped some unnecessary steps and directly activated the formation.

The strange beast, which was originally controlling a giant fireball about to fall from the sky, is now being dragged into a spatial rift by some force.

The matter seems to be coming to an end.

But a peculiar gem appeared before the giant beast in an incomprehensible form and was swallowed whole by it.

"Boom!" The giant beast's strength suddenly increased explosively, and it actually resisted that strange power and crawled out of the crack.

Although slow, it was extremely determined.

"!!!"

Even when a giant spear flew down from directly above the underwater altar and struck the beast squarely in the face, it was caught by the beast's teeth and chewed up.

The power of the formation seemed to have weakened considerably in binding him.

The crowd gradually sank into despair and seemed to have completely forgotten about the magic lamp.

Sweat poured down his face from the blazing flames, and he saw double images before his eyes, realizing he was seeing another version of himself amidst the heatwave.

Is it really impossible to stop this monstrous beast?

"Should we give up?" A hallucination seemed to appear in Guanxing's ears.

"No, how could that be? I've come this far, and I'm only one step away from sealing it. Even if it's fate, I will put on a show of human determination overcoming nature! Not just for this country and its people, but also for myself!" Guan Xing gritted his teeth and continued to maintain the formation with great difficulty.

"Then... let me lend you my final helping hand."

Looking up at the star, he saw a phantom exactly like himself, slowly swooping down from mid-air and then embracing him.

"Heaven covers! Earth supports! Wind rises! Eight formations, begin!" A strange power seemed to surge within Guan Xing's body. With a light wave of his feather fan, a magic circle appeared in front of Guan Xing, and at the center of the magic circle was the fire-attribute beast.

"The Big Dipper vanquishes evil, eliminating wickedness and banishing demons!"

With the power of the magic array, the gale that could be used when the soul was still in its first stage became even stronger, and it was also mixed with extremely violent lightning, which crashed down on the strange beast!

The sealing formation was also greatly enhanced by the formation, and with unstoppable force, it sealed the beast, which had been severely injured and was momentarily weakened, into the formation!

"call……"

"Great."

"It's finally sealed."

"Speaking of which, why not send the genie out to deal with the monsters?"

"The genie? That's right, the genie!"

"Besides, you didn't use that star-gazing instrument, Master Star Gazer."

"Sigh! Yes, why?" Guan Xing was also very puzzled by this.

"Mr. Genie, come out here! What did you just do?" Guanxing, realizing what had happened, grabbed the lamp hanging from his waist and punched it a few times with his little fist.

"Hahaha..." A cloud of smoke flashed by, and Chen Luo floated cross-legged on the magic lamp, his expression seemingly a little guilty.

Countless points of light were thrown out by Chen Luo, landing on everyone and instantly healing all their injuries.

"I did this so that you could master the power of the Six Souls sooner, so I used a little trick to manipulate your consciousness," Chen Luo said apologetically.

"..."

"Please don't be angry, everyone. I was watching from the sidelines, so I guarantee you won't get hurt. And to make it up to you, I can grant you any one of your wishes for free," Chen Luo quickly said.

As soon as Chen Luo finished speaking, the entire altar suddenly began to shake violently. The enormous stone statue on the underwater altar slowly spoke.

“O one who has awakened me, speak your wish.”

Everyone looked at Chen Luo, then at the giant stone figure.

"...You dare to steal my business?" Chen Luo glared fiercely at the giant stone man.

[Holy crap, someone in the same line of work! As the saying goes, cutting off someone's livelihood is like...! Let's get him!]

When Chen Luo reached out his small hand to grab it, an invisible force instantly imprisoned the other party. Then, as the force of the restraint grew stronger, it actually shaped the enormous creature into a stone figure the size of a palm.

"You better keep quiet, or I'll twist your head off!" Chen Luo said, holding a knife to the stone man's neck.

"???" The stone man tilted his head, looking at the person in front of him with a blank expression, who was someone he could not possibly contend with.

Does anyone in the family understand? I was trying to help someone fulfill their wish, but suddenly a light popped up and hit them.

"Alright, everyone, let's share your wishes. Now it's time for the reward settlement." Chen Luo said with a smile, holding the stone figure in one hand.

Chapter 2177 Looking for Aha to gouge out the eyes of the learned and give them away? You're the pleasure?! 10k

“That stone man…” Raven hesitated.

That stone statue says it can grant one wish.

"What stone man? What stone man?" Chen Luo asked, somewhat puzzled.

“That…” Raven pointed to the palm-sized stone doll that Chen Luo was holding in his hand.

"...If you insist on claiming you've seen some stone figure that can grant your wishes, I don't mind donating all the gold you have left to charity." A fierce glint flashed in Chen Luo's eyes.

"My wish is to have all the wishes I currently owe forgiveness, and at the same time, I promise that Lord Stargazer will not issue a warrant for my arrest!" Raven said immediately.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

Raven was very nervous when it heard Chen Luo's threat.

Raven hadn't forgotten why he'd gotten involved in this matter.

Wasn't it all for that 10 taels of gold back then?

The second request was made because the raven feared being discarded after its usefulness was over.

After successfully defeating the alien beast, Guan Xing will naturally succeed the former emperor as the new empress.

Although the raven did nothing in reality, it was incredibly destructive in the realm of possibilities.

To save its life, the raven had to waste one wish.

When the birds are all gone, the good bow is put away; when the cunning rabbit is dead, the hunting dog is cooked.

If even meritorious officials are treated this way, what about someone like myself who is awaiting punishment?

“I can agree to the former, but I need to ask for your opinion on the latter.” Chen Luo looked at Guan Xing.

Stargazer glanced at the raven and nodded.

“Here’s what we’ll do: not only will I not issue an arrest warrant to hunt you down, I’ll also give you a formal government job,” Stargazer said to Raven.

"Huh? What kind of job?"

“The Dark Division,” Guan Xing said with a smile.

"The Dark Division? I won't do it." Raven quickly shook his head.

The Dark Division, isn't that Yae's territory?

Oh no, I should say it's Rita's territory.

"Is that so? Then I won't force you. I'll reduce your remaining gold to 10 taels. You shouldn't object, right?" Guan Xing asked.

"No objection, no objection," the raven nodded repeatedly.

"Then... remember to pay the huge property transfer tax to the government later, 20%." Guan Xing said with a smile.

"What? You want to charge me 2 taels of gold just by talking? I earned all of this money through hard work, you know?"

"Oh, so that's personal income tax? 10 taels of gold is subject to a 45% personal income tax."

"Huh? Genie..." The raven looked at Chen Luo pitifully.

"Never mind how your wish was fulfilled, just say it wasn't," Chen Luo asked.

[Ding! Mission complete!]

"Fine, fine, I'll join the Dark Side. I surrender." Raven raised her hand.

"Alright, Yae, from today onwards, you are the head of the Anbu, directly under Rita," Guanxing said to Yae.
