Their commission was suspicious.

They were probably all tricked into giving to other contestants of the Shinshin Kogyoku by Chikujoin Shinkan during their battles.

It was precisely because of these abilities that Chikujoin Shinkan was able to have the last laugh.

It was precisely because of these abilities that when Chikujoin Shinkan was beaten by Chen Luo, he didn't die too quickly. At least he kept up with the cooldown of the Staff of Limits resurrection technique and was able to revive without any cooldown.

However, Chen Luo did not see the effect of these abilities because he directly used the power of the Herrscher of Binding to silence the other party.

At that time, only the opponent's passive ability was active; otherwise, they might have actually been able to exchange a few blows with Chen Luo.

Now all of these abilities have been lost.

Furthermore, the copy of Tsukijoin Shinkan cannot be resurrected because its existence has been erased. Unless Chen Luo summons Tsukijoin Shinkan himself and uses the Shinkan Mirror to copy him again.

Chen Luo had no intention of collecting the dozen or so orbs of light scattered on the ground, since he didn't need them. So he directly summoned the True Mirror of the City Building Institute from the Investiture of the Gods.

Chen Luo and the true form of Tsukijouin Shinkan stared at each other.

"If you're bad at it, just practice more," Chen Luo couldn't help but say.

Losing to your own clone, isn't that shameful?

"I can't help it. I'm just unlucky. My ability to fool others isn't as good as the quality of my clones," said Tsukihime Shinkan helplessly.

When Chikujoin Shinkan returned to the realm of the Ancient Mirror of Immortality, he discovered his own clone but did not immediately engage in battle. This was because Chikujoin Shinkan's abilities were far too ineffective against someone who knew him inside and out.

Therefore, Tsukijoin Shinkan and his clone agreed to each find a suitable enemy, trick them into giving them the right abilities, and then settle the score.

Then, just as he found the second ability, Tsukijima Shinkan was ambushed by his own clone and died.

It's not that Chikujoin Shinkan himself was less quick-witted than his clone. Chikujoin Shinkan originally wanted to ambush his clone, but the problem was that Chikujoin Shinkan hadn't yet managed to trick the right person into doing so.

Chikujoin Shinkan felt his luck was terrible.

"Alright, stop talking nonsense. If you're bad, practice more. Don't make excuses." Chen Luo ignored him.

"..." Chikujoin Shinkan wanted to refute, but dared not.

Zhuchengyuan Zhenjian witnessed just how ruthless Chen Luo was when he killed his clone.

"Keep those abilities you tricked into giving away as your clones," Chen Luo said, gesturing towards the ball of light and then towards the True Mirror of the Castle Construction Institute.

"Oh, you're so generous?" Tsukiji Shinkan asked, somewhat surprised.

"Starting today, you will stay in the Dimensional Sea and help me find suitable items for me, preferably world-class items. And you are not allowed to harm good people. There are quite a few bad people in the Dimensional Sea, and you don't need to deliberately harm good people."

"..."

As Chen Luo slowly raised the crowbar, Chikujoin Shinkan could only nod in humiliation.

"Don't be so reluctant... If you're not willing to do it, there are plenty of clones of Tsukijoin Shinkan who are willing to do it."

“I’ll do it,” Tsukiji Shinkan immediately said.

Tsukiin Shinkan was quite self-aware of his current situation... He clearly did not meet Chen Luo's definition of a friend, and in a sense, he had done many bad things.

Once it loses its usefulness, it will probably be thrown into the soul lamp and burned for 1000 years, or beaten to death like its own clone.

"Do a good job. There will be a reward if you do well, and if you don't, you'll have to stay in the Soul Lamp. Oh, by the way, this is your reward for providing me with clues about the Ancient Mirror of Illumination." Chen Luo took out 1 Paradise Gold Coins and handed them to Zhenjian of the Construction City Institute.

"..." Zhuchengyuan Zhenjian wanted to say that it was too little, but Zhuchengyuan Zhenjian's true spirit had been completely controlled by Fengshenbang, so there was no chance to bargain.

However, Chen Luo's differential treatment was quite obvious.

A world-class item is only worth 1 amusement park coins? Who would believe that?

“From today onwards, your code name will be Traveling Frog. I hope you can continue to surprise me.” Chen Luo patted Tsukiyuu Masami on the shoulder.

"Understood." Chikujoin Shinkan sighed.

In fact, Chikujoin Shinkan wanted to apply to borrow the Shinkan Mirror, but Chikujoin Shinkan thought Chen Luo wouldn't give it to him.

"Crack!" The sudden cracking sound attracted the attention of Chen Luo and Zhuchengyuan Zhenjian.

“Half an hour has passed since the battle ended, the barrier should be broken by now,” said Chikujoin Shinkan.

As Tsukijiin Shinkan finished speaking, the once indestructible barrier gradually developed countless cracks, burst open with a bang, and then turned into points of light and disappeared.

The barrier that Chen Luo had just broken was only an entrance that could accommodate one person; now the barrier was truly and completely removed.

Since Chikujoin Shinkan has remained within the lake area, logically, Chikujoin Shinkan will be teleported back to the place where she encountered the Shinkan Kogyo no Beacon.

Chen Luo felt no other emotion upon seeing the disappearance of the Tsukijima Shinkan.

Tsukijoin Shinkan is much better than Travel Frog.

Travel Frog requires building up intimacy, but Tsukijoin Makan does not.

Just use it as much as you can.

They die and are resurrected, then go back to work.

Chen Luo will keep a close eye on the movements of Zhuchengyuan Zhenjian through the teleportation anchor point.

It's not that Chen Luo didn't want to turn the other person into a puppet, but if he did, the other person would become one of his own, and he wouldn't feel comfortable using them.

On the contrary, being sealed in the Investiture of the Gods, Chen Luo could be driven without any conscience.

However, just to be on the safe side... Chen Luo still spent about 100 Primogems to entrust the Dimensional Sea with monitoring.

If Tsukijima Shinkan can truly deceive the Dimensional Sea and gain liberation, then Chen Luo will accept defeat wholeheartedly.

Chen Luo slowly floated away from the silver lake beneath his feet, then waved his hand, using the Divine Mirror in his hand to tilt the silver lake slightly, sweeping all the limbs and severed arms floating on the lake into the Dimensional Sea, and then burning them all in a fire.

That's how the Dimensional Sea is; uncertainty is the norm. If word got out about the perks of adventurers in the Paradise, the mere fact that they could be resurrected would be enough to draw crowds of people.

The only thing Chen Luo could do for them was not to use their corpses as nourishment for the World Tree, but to scatter their ashes directly into the Dimensional Sea.

This is already a pretty good ending for the adventurers of the Dimensional Sea.

Even worse, after they die, they are turned into props by necromancers, puppeteers, or doll makers.

In fact, this is one of the mainstream combat methods for puppeteers in the Dimensional Sea.

After Chen Luo put away the Divine Mirror, the silver lake disappeared as well.

That silver lake is the domain of the Ancient Mirror of Illumination, known as the Duel Arena.

When facing an enemy, you can directly use the Divine Mirror to bring the enemy into your domain, and then summon a copy of the enemy from beneath the silver lake to fight against them.

Commonly known as: Cricket Fighting in the Dimensional Sea.

This combat method has no drawbacks except that it consumes a lot of energy from the user.

After the other person defeats their own counterpart, their condition won't be much better.

On the other hand, this is also the best way to hone your skills. The person who knows you best is always yourself. In the process of fighting with yourself, you can often discover many things that you have overlooked.

Furthermore, the size of the Silver Lake can be adjusted.

Chen Luo checked the records of the Divine Mirror.

The area within the realm of the Ancient Mirror of Illumination, where everyone had just been summoned by the beacon, was so vast that it could be described as an ocean.

As the number of participants decreases, the scope of the competition also shrinks.

It sounds more like a "shrinking toxicity zone".

Speaking of which...shouldn't you be more concerned about something else right now?

"Ok?"

[The talisman you brought is gone. It drifted further and further away in that bubble... and can no longer be seen now.] The user-friendly plugin reminded you.

"Huh?" While Chen Luo was delighted with the gains from this trip to the Dimensional Sea, he was reminded by the humanized plugin and looked back to find that, just as the humanized plugin had said, Chen Luo could no longer see Fu Xuan.

Holy crap!

Chen Luo was startled.

Then he retrieved a handful of raw gems from the talent panel and scattered them into the dimensional sea.

As the primordial stone slowly dissipated within the dimensional sea, a teleportation portal appeared in front of Chen Luo, and then a bubble was ejected from the portal.

"Wow!" Fu Xuan screamed from inside the bubble.

Only after Chen Luo comforted him did Fu Xuan realize that the crack was Chen Luo's doing, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

but……

"Fu Xuan, where did you get this compass?" Chen Luo asked curiously, looking at the compass that Fu Xuan was holding in his arms.

"Ah, well... this bubble suddenly floated up just now. Seeing that you had something to do and could return to the bar at any time, I didn't want to bother you. As it floated, I saw a cauldron with golden light emanating from it. There was a note on it that read 'Please put in items,' and out of curiosity, I threw the compass disc into it. Then the compass shot out and almost hit me." Fu Xuan was still a little shaken as he said this.

Fu Xuan had a set of star-gazing instruments and their plates. Now that Chen Luo had taken the star-gazing instruments, the plates were no longer needed.

"Hmm, what kind of cauldron?"

"I don't know why I forgot the exact appearance, but I remember it was a bronze cauldron with golden light shining from it."

"...You're probably referring to the Wishing Cauldron. Throw items in, and you'll receive an item that suits you. But its quality might be high or low. The compass in your hand seems to be related to divination, and it appears to be more in line with the principles of Feng Shui."

“But in a sense, if it’s used to guide the celestial ship’s route, the compass in your hand is more suitable than the star-gazing instrument or even the Qiong Guan array,” Chen Luo said.

"The Dimensional Sea is truly amazing. I only stayed here for half an hour and obtained such a precious item." Fu Xuan sighed with admiration after hearing this.

"...It's just that you were lucky. The Wishing Cauldron is said to be extremely rare, even in the Dimensional Sea." Chen Luo shook his head.

"I see..."

"Speaking of wishing cauldrons, maybe I'm destined to have one. How wonderful it would be to own one."

Chen Luo is currently collecting things related to wishes, and the Wishing Cauldron is naturally one of them.

Unfortunately, the Wishing Cauldron usually disappears immediately after being used by one person, and Chen Luo can't find it no matter how hard he tries.

[Raw Stone - 1000]

"Huh?" Chen Luo was stunned when he heard the voice.

Why did it deduct 1000 Primogems?

[My lord, have you forgotten? You can't speak carelessly in the Dimensional Sea, or it will think you're making a wish and take away your Primogems.]

"I didn't make a wish... a wishing cauldron?!" Before Chen Luo could finish speaking, a cauldron suddenly appeared in front of him.

I earned 1000 Origin Stones by killing Tsukiyomi Masami many times, and now they're gone just like that.

Chen Luo opened his mouth, but didn't dare to say anything more.

The raw stones have already been spent. What if I say I don't want them anymore, and the other party takes it seriously, deducts another 1000 raw stones from my account, and then makes the Wishing Cauldron disappear?

That would be a huge loss, wouldn't it?

“Yes, that’s it… Hmm, Chen Luo, why do you look so unhappy?” Fu Xuan asked, somewhat puzzled.

Didn't Chen Luo just say he wanted the Wishing Cauldron? Now that the cauldron has arrived, why aren't you happy?

"It's nothing..." Chen Luo shook his head and then reached out to the wishing cauldron in front of him.

"This wishing cauldron shouldn't be catching, right? At least I didn't touch it when I tried to," Fu Xuan reminded him.

“I know. Theoretically speaking, you can’t touch the Wishing Cauldron; at most, you can only create a sliver of connection by throwing items into it. But… I’m different.”

Just kidding, you guys stumbled upon the Wishing Cauldron randomly by luck, while I spent a whole 1000 Primogems.

Did I waste my 1000 raw stones?

But just as Chen Luo was about to touch the Wishing Cauldron, it suddenly moved and bumped into Chen Luo's arms, sending him flying.

Because apart from certain treasure locations, there is no actual land in the Dimensional Sea, which is no different from the starry sky, Chen Luo rolled around in the Dimensional Sea several times before he could steady himself and look down at the cauldron in his arms.

[It turns out, your 1000 gems were definitely a waste. Hahaha...]

"..."

"Chen Luo, are you alright? What grudge do you have against this cauldron?" Fu Xuan manipulated the bubble to float towards Chen Luo.

“It’s not that we have a grudge… or rather, we’re just too destined for each other,” Chen Luo said, stroking the bronze cauldron in his arms.

As if in response to Chen Luo's words, the bronze cauldron in Chen Luo's arms emitted a humming sound, and the light inside its top continuously flickered, the golden light growing brighter and brighter.

Not to brag, but Chen Luo seems to have a knack for getting along with any gadget that can grant wishes.

For example, the magic lamp, and this wishing cauldron.

"Fate? Then why was I the first one to encounter the Wishing Cauldron, and not you?" Fu Xuan asked, puzzled.

Fu Xuan wasn't being sarcastic; he was genuinely thinking about the problem.
