Chen Luo stood up, walked to the side, and looked at himself with the Divine Mirror.

"Huh, human, how did you become the star god Aha?" Yuexia asked in surprise.

"Don't you suspect that Aha has turned into me?"

"No, I have a blood pact with humans, I will never mistake a human for someone else," Yuexia said confidently, then glanced triumphantly at Guanxing.

The so-called Blood Pact is the connection that formed between Chen Luo and Yuexia after Chen Luo shared a portion of the power of the Herrscher of Corruption. The price was that Chen Luo was weakened for an hour, but there were no other side effects.

"So, do you think I've become like that?" Chenlun asked.

"They look very similar."

"...It seems it's still not close enough." Chen Luo shook his head.

"???"

"Because the Ancient Mirror of Divine Revelation never actually reflected Aha's appearance, but was sculpted according to the image in my mind, I simply became like this..."

At least under the moon, she can still feel the blood pact with Chen Luo.

This shows that the imitation is not enough.

The Divine Mirror has three functions: imitation, replication, and reflecting one's true nature.

Imitation can be divided into three types. The first type is when the holder has seen the other party but has not been illuminated by the Mirror of Divine Revelation. The imitation is so realistic that it is almost indistinguishable from the real thing, but it is superficial.

The second type is where the other party has been exposed to the Divine Mirror, resulting in an incredibly lifelike imitation, similar to the Six-Eared Macaque and Sun Wukong. The highest level of imitation is so convincing that, aside from transcendent beings possessing world-class items and SSS-level talents with relevant detection capabilities, no one can detect anything amiss.

The third type occurs when the other party has been exposed to the Divine Mirror and is either dead or incapable of resistance. In this case, the wielder of the Divine Mirror can use it to replace the other party's existence. This is the ultimate form of imitation—transforming oneself into the other party, acquiring their abilities, and continuing to upgrade. This type of imitation is undetectable to anyone except those who have transcended the limits of human ability.

Of course, the cost is also high. If the holder of the Divine Mirror is not a person of strong will, it will cause the holder to constantly wonder whether they are the holder or the one being replaced.

Chen Luo doesn't need to worry, because he can use raw stones to offset the cost, but it's very expensive.

The second method is the same one used by the fraudster's clone, but the imitation wasn't very sophisticated... because the person who was looked at in the mirror died a rather tragic death, and didn't even have a complete corpse.

Furthermore, the second method of copying can also copy the other person's abilities, but unlike the third method of imitation, it can upgrade skills. Whatever level the other person is at, the ability you imitate will remain at that level, without any improvement.

Or rather, the third type of imitation should be called possession.

Imitation itself doesn't require energy, but to imitate the other party's abilities as well requires the Source of the World as energy.

The most common energy consumed by world-class items is the World Source.

Just like the Investiture of the Gods.

"Hello, is this Aha?" Chen Luo called Aha.

"what happened?"

"I've got some big fun here, wanna try it out?" Chen Luo said mysteriously.

"How big is it?"

"That's the size of 1000 star cores!"

"I'll be right there, wait for me."

The communication went smoothly, but is there something wrong with the unit of measurement you use to gauge the level of amusement?

"jingle!"

"Aha! My friend, what kind of fun are you up to?" Where there's fun, there's Aha.

Upon hearing that Chen Luo had some fun involving 1000 star cores, he immediately went to the bar.

"The Star Gods take turns, and this year it's my turn. Would you be interested in lending me the position of Star God of Pleasure?" Chen Luo raised the Ancient Mirror of Divine Illumination in his hand and shook it gently.

……

"The Ancient Mirror of Illumination... sounds impressive. Sure enough, there's even more fun beyond this world." After hearing Chen Luo's introduction to the Ancient Mirror of Illumination, Aha didn't pay much attention to Chen Luo's topic about the Star Gods taking turns, but instead became more curious about the Dimensional Sea.

Since they painstakingly opened the path to the Dimensional Sea, practice makes perfect, and almost everyone in the bar has some experience heading to the Dimensional Sea...

But clearly, the Star God of Joy, Aha, is one of the few who hasn't been there.

Like Aha, there are also Halloween Queen, White Yaksha, and others. They all have very important work to do in this world. Even though exploring the Dimensional Sea would be more rewarding for them, it would be almost impossible for them to put down their work and go alone.

The stronger a person is, the greater the allure of the Dimensional Sea. Just like the person in the bar who most wants to go to the Dimensional Sea is Xiao Jiu, the Heavenly Emperor who can hardly enter his own world.

After opening the passage to the Dimensional Sea, Xiao Jiu hardly ever stayed in her own world, spending most of her time wandering the Dimensional Sea.

The problem with the Star God of Joy, Aha, is more troublesome than that of the White Yaksha and the Halloween Queen. The problem with Aha is that, as a Star God, it is part of this world and it is fine to go out for a stroll occasionally, but if it leaves for a long time, something bad might easily happen.

Having the silver or gold summoned ones replace Aha, White Yaksha, and Halloween Queen in this world also has a problem: the work experience won't be shared with the original body.

Of course, this is not a big problem.

For memories, just make a copy.

After White Yaksha and Halloween Queen finished their work, they planned to have Chen Luo use his River God abilities to find another version of himself to take over. However, Aha never made such a request, which puzzled Chen Luo.

“Chen Luo, according to the agreement, it’s time for you to fulfill your promise and find someone to cover my shift. This Divine Mirror is probably the key.” Aha said, pointing to the Divine Mirror.

"Hmm?" Chen Luo tilted his head.

“What I was referring to was the contract that Void Archives delivered to me using the power of pleasure when it first came to this world. Oh, it’s not exactly a contract, more like a note. I provide assistance to Void Archives, and you, in turn, grant me greater pleasure and a special opportunity at the right time,” Aha said.

This is why Aha didn't suggest that Chen Luo find Silver Aha to fill in while he went out and had fun, because that wouldn't be fun enough.

Furthermore, since it was Chen Luo who made the deal, it means that Chen Luo also had some need for that fun. Aha could indeed be impatient and have Silver fill in for him while he went out to wander around, but Chen Luo could also refuse. There's no rule that says Chen Luo has to agree to anyone who asks him for something.

Aha has no shortage of patience; after all, how can you watch something truly entertaining without patience?

"I see... I understand now. My original idea was to replicate your image and impersonate the Star God of Joy, but it seems that using the Ancient Mirror of Divine Illumination to replicate another version of you is the correct method." Chen Luo nodded in realization.

Admittedly, Chen Luo's act of impersonating the Star God of Joy in place of Aha was certainly entertaining enough, but Chen Luo couldn't stay in the Starry Sky Railway world forever, nor could he replace Aha's existence.

The Fate Walker can sense when a Star God disappears or falls.

In other words, Chen Luo, this all-around puzzle piece, cannot be tied up with Aha, this puzzle piece.

However, a replica of the Divine Mirror is possible.

He looks exactly like Aha, so naturally the puzzle shapes are exactly the same too.

"So I only gave you a note back then, not a contract? You really believed that I would definitely give you the reward you wanted?" Chen Luo asked.

"Because that note has power that I personally imbued... If it were to be deceived... wouldn't it be even more hilarious if someone could fool the Star God of Joy? Hahaha..."

"..." Chen Luo had nothing to say about this.

It was so much fun.

That perfectly matches Aha's character.

The thought process of a person who enjoys having fun is truly incomprehensible to normal people.

As expected of the Star God, who was once even willing to give all his power of pleasure to a bug in an attempt to cram the bug into the Genius Club.

Of course, the insect's fate was also tragic; after Aha withdrew all its Pleasure Power, the insect died on the spot.

So, a person who brings them amusement is actually a double-edged sword. When you do things that bring them amusement, they can be your best helper; otherwise, you'll just have to wait to become their new source of amusement.

"But then another problem arises... You know, right? For world-class gadgets like these, if you want to imitate someone as skilled as you, you'll have to pay a price, no matter how much." Chen Luo changed the subject, looking quite troubled, while gently rubbing his fingers together.

“I understand. Then I’ll leave the rest to you, my friend,” Aha said with a smile.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

[Double Pleasure]: 1001 Originium

"Getting it right." Chen Luo nodded in satisfaction.

These 1000 Primal Stones are equivalent to half a share of the World Source. Although replicating a powerful being like the Star God of Joy, Aha, requires World Source, overall, Chen Luo is making a profit.

Make a fortune.

This also slightly restored Chen Luo's reserves of raw stones, which had almost dropped below 10 after drawing the new SSS-level talent.

10 raw gems are roughly equivalent to 50 shares of Origin of the World...

Too little...

The thought of a transcendent alchemist who could earn hundreds of World Source shares a day made Chen Luo's teeth ache with envy.

If only the Essence of Wishes and Paradise Coins could be exchanged for the Source of the World...

Oh, yes, you can exchange them, but the exchange rate is a bit outrageous, and they're practically priceless. Paradise Gold Coins, after all, are Soul Crystals, the universal currency of the Dimensional Sea.

However, because there are a few minor side effects, the price is much cheaper.

Just wait, it'll be fine soon.

Once the little treasure chest monster is upgraded to 9 stars, the World Source should be in the 9-star treasure vault.

Or perhaps one day we'll find a sucker willing to exchange World Source for Paradise Coins at a fair price.

Or perhaps the adventurers in the Paradise will find the Source of the World in a treasure chest while adventuring in the Dimensional Sea.

The method of using the Divine Mirror is very simple. As soon as Chen Luo had a thought, the Divine Mirror's domain instantly began to expand outward. The entire bar was covered with a floor that seemed to be made of mercury, and the reflection of the mercury floor clearly reflected the figures of everyone in the bar.

As Yuexia and Guanxing gazed at the reflection on the mercury floor, they were surprised to find that the reflection in the room was moving differently from them, as if the other was truly conscious.

Then... Yuexia and Guanxing watched helplessly as their reflections left their feet and ran towards Chen Luo, then tried to crawl out of the mercury floor and grab Chen Luo's body.

"??best man?"

"After the Ancient Mirror of Illumination expands its domain, everyone can see another version of themselves inside, another version of themselves that is exactly the same as themselves, with the same likes and dislikes," Chen Luo explained about the domain of the Ancient Mirror of Illumination.

“But…human, you don’t have a reflection.” Yuexia said, pointing to the spot where Chen Luo was standing.

Beneath Chen Luo's feet were only the reflections of the moon and the stars, who were trying to emerge from the Lake of Mercury, but not Chen Luo's own reflection.

“It’s a matter of priorities. And… no money,” Chen Luo said with a tense face.

This time, Chen Luo only contributed two strands of the World Source. Since Chen Luo's shadow was not present, it means that Chen Luo was unable to select a role.

It means I have to pay more.

Although the value of the Star God of Joy Aha himself is certainly higher than that of the two strands of world origin, if we are going to spend the original price to construct a replica of the Star God of Joy Aha, then what is the point of the Ancient Mirror of Divine Revelation?

Specialization is key; the Divine Mirror can drive down the price of replicas! Drive it down to an astronomical price.

Even constructing a replica of Chen Luo under the stars and the moon didn't require the Source of the World; a little magic was enough. This was because their combined strength was too weak, and their power didn't involve anything "world-wide."

“You don’t have the Source of the World, but I do. I’ll give you 10 shares of the Source of the World. You can create three copies of Chen Luo to play mahjong with me.” The Origin suddenly appeared.

The root cause has no corresponding projection beneath the Lake of Mercury.

"...Go away, go away, if you keep messing with me like this, the Divine Mirror will be broken." Chen Luo waved his hand to drive away the source.

The clone can be weakened accordingly, but to replicate the requirement of playing mahjong with the Root in the Root Nest, you would at least need to replicate the complete Chen Luo.

If one truly wants to use the Divine Mirror to replicate Chen Luo, one must prepare a large amount of world resources, and also be prepared for the Divine Mirror to be destroyed.

Subordinates are not allowed to contradict their superiors.

If you want to replicate a unique EX-level talent, you must be prepared to accept the consequences.

The reflections of the moon and the stars were so anxious that they started pounding on the floor, but they still didn't get a chance to come out. Instead, Aha's projection, which had been quietly waiting, slowly emerged from beneath the Lake of Mercury.

As Aha's projection appeared, the area covered by the Lake of Mercury began to shrink rapidly.

The more perfect Ahab's form became as it emerged from the Lake of Mercury, the smaller the lake became, as if all the lake water had become the material that made Ahab's clone.

Just as Aha's projections appeared, the last bit of water in the Lake of Mercury was used up.

The lingering feelings of resentment dissipated as I gazed at the stars and watched the moon's reflection.

And the moment Aha, who seemed to be made of mercury, had his body shape completely perfected, the mercury color gradually faded, revealing a body color that was exactly the same as Aha's.

"They seem to be exactly the same," Aha said, examining his clone.

Even Aha himself couldn't tell which of them was the real Aha, so naturally no one else could either.

"Looks like I can finally go to the Dimensional Sea for a visit." Aha said with a hint of excitement.

In fact, Aha has already created a Dimensional Sea travel guide based on the detailed information of various safe points transmitted by the adventurers in the park to the group network, and is just waiting for his vacation.

“Wait a minute, I object.” Aha’s clone suddenly raised his hand.

"Ok?"

"Why should you go to the Dimensional Sea instead of me?" said Aha's clone.

“…” Aha turned his head and glanced at Chen Luo.
