Their commission was suspicious.

"I saw him, but he just left. What a pity, Miss Raiden Mei. If you had come even a minute earlier, you might have been able to adopt a Chen Luo who would listen to you completely." Aha shook his head regretfully.

However... it seems that Raiden Mei also took Chen Luo away.

That's fine.

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"Bye-bye, I'm going to have some fun."

"Wait, what do you mean? What do you mean by 'Chen Luo, who obeys my every word'? Wait, don't go!"

"Hey!"

Chapter 2216 Yellow Springs: Let me make good use of you now! Chen Luo!

"Chen Luo, Chen Luo, please respond."

"Hello, are you there? Are you there? Are you there? Are you there? Are you there?"

"I was only away from you for a moment, how did you become like this?"

When the world consciousness finally managed to contact Chen Luo, all it got was a Chen Luo who was indifferent to it.

Chen Luo could hear it, but he felt that answering the world consciousness was meaningless.

"Alright, alright, he doesn't even talk to me, let alone you." Genyuan floated next to Chen Luo and yawned.

"What kind of madness is this? He insisted on turning off his starter abilities, which made it take me ages to get in touch with him. And after I finally got in, he ignored me," the World Consciousness complained.

The reason the World Consciousness said this is because of the three starter abilities: [Reconnaissance Listening Library]. The first two abilities are the most important special skills that allow Chen Luo to freely establish contact and communicate with the World Consciousness.

Do you think that the world consciousness has so little connection with people within the world because they don't want to connect? It's because they can't connect.

World consciousness cannot easily intervene directly.

Just like even the worst script, unless it's for comedic effect, the author certainly wouldn't personally step in and point fingers at the characters to correct the plot.

Although Chen Luo and other outsiders gave the world consciousness a full sense of legitimacy to make contact, it was still quite difficult to do so—although all it took was to raise one's voice, what kind of normal communication was it to shout at the top of one's lungs?

Chen Luo is different. When he possesses the abilities of the three starter families, Chen Luo's intuition is very high, and he can easily receive signals that cannot be received under normal circumstances.

As the three main powers continuously gathered information about the world and gradually grew stronger, Chen Luo could even occasionally hear the inner voice of the world's consciousness.

"He intends to forgo investigative abilities, analyze the pros and cons for himself, and rely solely on his intuition and reason to discern desires. He wants to understand the desires of the masses from the perspective of an ordinary person, rather than viewing them from a godlike perspective," Genyuan said.

Because of Chen Luo's actions, it became difficult to contact Chen Luo, who was unaware of the world's consciousness, and there was a root cause.

In the past, no matter what state the root cause was in, Chen Luo could easily see the root cause.

Now, Chen Luo can only see Genyuan when he deliberately reveals his form.

However, Genyuan actually enjoys the feeling of being invisible, and only talks to Chen Luo when he feels like it.

Although... now when Genyuan tries to chat with Chen Luo, Chen Luo completely ignores Genyuan.

“However, I don’t mind, because Chen Luo seems to have really gained some inspiration from this approach,” Genyuan continued.

On the path of transcendence, even the slightest improvement is an opportunity that money cannot buy.

"I just glanced at Akasha's records. Is Chen Luo really planning to fleece my world to death? The Herrscher of Origin and the Herrscher of the End are one thing, but why does he even want to devour the Void Star God?" The world consciousness sighed.

"Alright, stop complaining. If Chen Luo becomes a transcendent being, your world will be the place where transcendent beings attain enlightenment."

It's true that the world Chen Luo lives in is his main world, but the Collapsed World is one of the worlds where Chen Luo has gained the most opportunities.

"So what? It doesn't do you any good."

There's definitely no benefit to it.

The attainment of enlightenment by those who transcend cannot bring any benefit to the world.

Of course, there are no downsides either.

If there is any downside, it is that those who transcend may take away a little too many good things in order to achieve transcendence.

However, generally speaking, the world won't lose out...

“How much you’ve lost, I’ll have Chen Luo make it up to you 100 times over once he’s transcended. Or I can just make it up to you myself.” Genyuan waved his hand.

That's the biggest benefit.

Those who transcend worldly concerns are rarely poor.

The root cause? The root cause isn't poor either; anyway, they can get reimbursed by Chen Luo's parents.

But that's only if Chen Luo transcends.

"I don't need that much. I just want some nectar of salvation..."

"What you want is probably more than just a little, isn't it? I can decide on the Origin of the World because I really have that much Origin of the World. As for the Dew of Redemption, you'll have to go back and ask Chen Luo for his opinion, because I really don't have that stuff." The Origin shook its head.

"If Chen Luo can break free from the void through his own will, then the power of desire might truly broaden his destiny. Even those with extreme nihilistic beliefs would be included. A breakthrough from 99% to 100% could be achieved."

"The only problem is that Chen Luo is only 18 years old and has too little experience. He really has no advantage in a contest of willpower. Except..."

"Except for the raw gems!"

"Could you cut me a peach?" Huang Quan asked Chen Luo.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

Chen Luo, who was being led by Huang Quan's hand, looked up at Huang Quan and a plate of peaches appeared in his hand. The peaches instantly split into several segments in a way that Huang Quan could not see or understand at all.

This made Huang Quan realize that perhaps the stranger's claim that Chen Luo was an omnipotent Holy Grail was not an exaggeration, and that Chen Luo would indeed not hold him back.

The premise is that Chen Luo can really stay obediently by his side.

[Ding! Mission complete!]

Upon hearing this voice, Chen Luo's initial interest, sparked by the commission, was once again drawn into philosophical reflections: Who am I? Where am I? What am I supposed to do?

Those who self-destruct are not those who lie down and give up, waiting to rot like salted fish; they simply have lost their purpose in life and wander aimlessly through the galaxy.

However, Chen Luo's condition was more serious than theirs, but his symptoms were milder.

The former is because Chen Luo was not shrouded in the shadow of the Void Star God, but directly devoured the Void Star God.

The latter is because Chen Luo's soul is inherently gifted.

The final result is that Chen Luo has his own thoughts and can intervene in everything outside without any obstacles, but Chen Luo himself is too lazy to respond, feeling that responding is meaningless.

"Try it." After eating a slice of peach, Huang Quan, who felt that the peaches Chen Luo had brought out tasted really good, recommended them to Chen Luo.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

"..." Chen Luo really just picked up a slice of peach, put it in his mouth, and ate it.

Then there was no further response.

"..." Looking at Chen Luo, who has now progressed to the point where he can stay close to Huang Quan without Huang Quan having to hold his hand, Huang Quan still felt somewhat helpless.

Although this companion was indeed very obedient, he had no choice but to obey.

Huang Quan's actions did nothing to help Chen Luo escape this state of nothingness.

Huang Quan now views Chen Luo as if he were looking at a student who knows his mistakes but refuses to correct them.

The current situation is more like the "nothingness" within Chen Luo is swallowing up Chen Luo's humanity and divinity, but Chen Luo himself still maintains his intelligence and rationality.

"A Holy Grail that has come to life."

"A Holy Grail that has come to life"

Both the Roots and the World Consciousness simultaneously evaluated Chen Luo's state.

Seeing Chen Luo in this state, Genyuan couldn't help but fall into thought.

If... when Chen Luo was born, if his soul, formed from the collective wishes of nearly half of all beings in the entire dimensional sea, had not been sealed, and he had been raised to adulthood in this form, would he have truly become a humanoid Holy Grail similar to Chen Luo now, only capable of responding to wishes?

Chen Luo's current situation is very similar to that of the Moon World's God Child, namely, Shuoyue Meiyu.

Before reaching a certain age, the children of the Shuoyue family exist as a Holy Grail capable of granting any wish. They have a self and are a life, but they are more inclined to be humanoid Holy Grails.

This uniqueness gradually weakens and eventually disappears as the child grows older, eventually allowing the prodigy to grow up as an ordinary person.

Chen Luo did not go through this stage, but by chance, after devouring a part of the Void Star God, he temporarily suppressed the passive reaction of the power of desire to erase the influence of the mind, and put himself into a state of nothingness.

Until it "collapsed" into this humanoid Holy Grail.

However, Chen Luo's state is similar to Shen Zhi'er's, but not entirely the same.

Chen Luo has his own will, but he doesn't react to the disturbances from the outside world.

Because no matter what happens around him, Chen Luo could naturally handle it with his power, but he felt it was pointless, so he wouldn't take action.

Chen Luo now has a God's-eye view, observing everything around him from the perspective of an outsider, just like God (a deity).

"It's like what a true vessel of desire and authority would do." Suddenly, the root of the matter seemed to have gained some insight.

This explains why Chen Luo didn't resist even though he knew he was in this situation.

Back to basics!

Whether Chen Luo can gain enough insight from this state depends on his luck.

Who leads him away, whether he will choose to immediately spend the raw stones to remove the status due to encountering great danger and thus miss this opportunity... these are all possible reasons why Chen Luo might fail in his "Ask the Way" mission.

Asking the question: Ask yourself the truth, ask the truth about the desires and authority you possess.

Although if it fails this time, it can enter this state again by consuming a part of the Void Star God next time. However, with more resistance, it will need to consume more and more parts of the Void Star God.

But the Void Star God is only so big, how could it keep eating forever?

Therefore, it's best to succeed on the first try!

But Chen Luo doesn't have a single acquaintance around him now, only Huang Quan, a familiar stranger.

Whether Huang Quan can use Chen Luo correctly remains a question.

Fortunately, it was a stranger; acquaintances wouldn't have been of much help to Chen Luo at this point.

"Oh no, I've become a protector!" Genyuan was surprised to find himself in the role of a protector.

As long as the source of the world is willing to spend it, the source can indeed interfere with the outside world in this form. Therefore, the source has become Chen Luo's biggest and most reliable bodyguard.

"So what should the protectors do now?" Genyuan was still a little excited about being a protector for the first time.

As for the claim that the source, along with two transcendent beings, was wreaking havoc in the dimensional sea, just ignore it.

Back then, it was just a pendant, its only use being for chatting and relieving boredom!

"Doing nothing, that's what the protectors are supposed to do."

“…So that’s how it is! But I’m still so anxious! Honestly, if I were to use Chen Luo, I would definitely use him better than this Huang Quan!” Genyuan paced back and forth in frustration.

Damn it, I could do that too!

"That's not necessarily true. You're not human, so how can you make a wish filled with humanity? Chen Luo doesn't need the raw stone right now; he needs the wish itself. Use a sufficiently strong wish to motivate Chen Luo to break through the shackles of nothingness with his own will!"

"...Okay." Genyuan admitted that he was indeed not good at this.

Because the root cause is not people at all.

Moreover, the root cause is not here.

Even though the Root Being is the source of world consciousness here, it cannot issue a commission to Chen Luo.

The only way the world consciousness can provide Chen Luo with raw stones is through identity missions.

However, for Chen Luo in this state to apply for an identity mission, it also requires a "wish".

No solution!

With Chen Luo in the Yellow Springs, I really don't know what to do.

Generally speaking, only the Chaos Physician, who shares the same fate of nothingness, can bring about self-destruction.

Those who choose self-destruction embrace nothingness, feel that life is meaningless, and only want to sink into oblivion and die.

The Chaos Healer, having inadvertently glimpsed the Void, was captivated by the magnificent divinity of the Star Gods, and unintentionally encountered the Self-Destroyers, thus choosing to become the Chaos Healer. He then began a series of efforts to save the Self-Destroyers.

"It is said that in order to help the self-destructing people regain their faith in life, the Chaos Physician first made a spiritual medicine, hoping to give them a sense of novelty with the exciting taste of the world. Then he picked the most ethereal Chaos Cloud Branch and gave it to them, so that they would know that those things that do not exist are not without trace."
