Their commission was suspicious.

So the problem isn't here.
In Chen Luo's heart, there was a black circle. This circle existed there like a container. As Chen Luo saved more and more worlds, more and more brilliant and crystalline substances were poured into that circle.
When this circle is completely filled, that may be the time when Chen Luo breaks free from nothingness.
But as he watched the circle gradually being filled, Huang Quan felt a sense of unease.
"Sigh, is this guy really going to keep saving the world until the very end?" Delta said, somewhat bored.
That kind of life is so boring.
Saving the world might be very fun at first, and receiving thanks from those people can be very rewarding. Even if Delta doesn't offer any help and just follows along, it can still feel pretty good.
However, if something is repeated constantly, it will eventually become boring.
In fact, less than a day had passed, and the same thing happened.
Upon hearing Delta's words, Huang Quan's heart stirred, as if he had grasped something.
“Isn’t a person’s life spent on missions? And saving the world… that kind of work is anything but boring,” the ninja said from the side.
"Has this world been saved? Are we going to the next world?" asked the armed puppet, Little Te.
Rita, on the other hand, watched all of this with an elegant smile on her lips.
"Let's go to the next world," Huang Quan said subconsciously.
Chen Luo, who was being led by Huang Quan's hand, disappeared from the spot with everyone else.
This time, Chen Luo arrived in a world that was also ravaged by floods...
But this world feels very special.
Because this doesn't seem to be a world.
"Hey, who are you? Outsiders! Your journey ends here..." This world seems to have guardians as well, as Chen Luo and his companions were immediately discovered after arriving in this world without any concealment.
"We are..." Huang Quan was about to explain when he saw the elegant lady, who had been exuding a powerful aura, suddenly "slide to her knees".
"Boss, what brings you here? Don't worry, I've really been managing Fros properly. Let me make it clear, I summoned the Great Flood only to better rebuild Fros. It wasn't to save trouble!" Vita looked at the expressionless Chen Luo with a hint of guilt.
Oh no, did the boss find out I was slacking off?
"You...know Chen Luo?" Huang Quan asked Vita.
"What are you talking about? What do you mean I know Chen Luo? He's my dearest, most respected, and most admired boss!" Vita said sternly.
"Alright, no need for praise. Chen Luo can't hear you right now. He's entered a state of nothingness and needs to constantly fulfill his wishes to escape it. So far, we've saved dozens of world bubbles and saved the world dozens of times," Huang Quan said.
"Hmm? A humanoid Holy Grail?" Vita immediately thought of the term.
"What do you mean?" Huang Quan didn't quite understand what Vita meant.
“Oh, the Holy Grail is actually something that can grant any wish, just without distinction between good and bad. And coincidentally, Chen Luo can do anything… Let me confirm again, Chen Luo really isn’t reacting to anything right now, right?” Vita suddenly asked.
"That's right." Huang Quan nodded.
"In short, the humanoid Holy Grail means that Chen Luo has an obsession with helping others fulfill their wishes. But unlike the Holy Grail, he has his own ideas and can get rewards for fulfilling others' wishes. However, although Chen Luo is not the Holy Grail, he is usually either fulfilling wishes or on his way to fulfilling wishes," Vita remarked.
As a trusted confidante who had once experienced a day's work with Chen Luo, Vita truly knew just how busy Chen Luo was in a day.
"Of course, Chen Luo doesn't grant every wish; he can distinguish between good and bad. But generally, as long as a person's wish isn't excessive, finding Chen Luo is like finding a savior."
"However, the usual Chen Luo, although he travels all over the world to fulfill other people's wishes, it's quite rare for him to be constantly running around in different world bubbles just to save the world, as you all say. Chen Luo hates repetitive work the most, and according to Chen Luo, he is now experiencing different wishes in order to seek a breakthrough. Could this also be part of a breakthrough?"
"Oh, by the way, speaking of which, Chen Luo issued an announcement today saying that he will shut down his ability to foresee the future and read minds, and instead experience the desires of all beings from the perspective of an ordinary person." Vita looked at Chen Luo curiously.
But Vita dared not approach.
The girl who was holding Chen Luo's hand and looked a lot like Mei seemed very wary of others getting close to Chen Luo.
Of course, Vita might not necessarily be unable to defeat Yomi, mainly because she really looks like Mei.
Offending a powerful person is fine, but offending Mei is a big problem.
I, Vita, am incredibly smart!
"!!!"
However, contrary to Vita's expectations, Huang Quan is no longer present at the scene.
Just now, after hearing Vita's understanding of Chen Luo, Huang Quan felt as if a thunderbolt had flashed through his mind.
Huang Quan suddenly realized where the sense of unease was.
It's true that Chen Luo likes to fulfill wishes, and it's also true that Chen Luo would save the world.
According to the adventurer from the amusement park, Chen Luo is a professional world savior, and as Chen Luo's subordinate, the adventurer would naturally not lie to Huang Quan.
Chen Luo was always busy fulfilling his wishes before, and he is still busy saving the world to fulfill his wishes now, which is all true.
But the problem lies in saving the world and collecting the nectar of redemption, which is the desire of the underworld.
The emptiness in Chen Luo's heart was indeed gradually filled by the feedback after his wish was fulfilled.
However, the reason for saving the world is because of a wish from Huang Quan. This is why Chen Luo has been constantly saving the world and accepting wishes for salvation.
This is equivalent to Huang Quan filling all of Chen Luo's "nothingness" with one person's wishes.
Huang Quan recalled the stranger she met in the bar who had instructed her to take Chen Luo to experience different desires.
But now, Chen Luo is filled with only one wish—to save the world.
Chen Luo is a professional world-saving expert, but he wasn't born just to save the world.
This is the wish of Huang Quan alone, but not the wish of all living beings.
It is true that all living beings yearn to save the world, but their desires go far beyond simply saving the world.
In Huang Quan's view, Chen Luo wasted all his energy on saving the world because of his own selfishness.
No wonder Chen Luo took the initiative to put on the willow crown and give himself the nectar of salvation when he was about to give up saving the world. However, in the dozens of times he saved the world, Chen Luo never took the initiative once.
It was Huang Quan's obsession that led Chen Luo astray.
Fortunately, there is still a chance to salvage the situation.
Huang Quan took Chen Luo's hand and walked to the side.
Although the people around them didn't know what Huang Quan was planning, they weren't worried. Instead, they curiously asked Vita about Chen Luo.
Those who follow Chen Luo now either need his help or have been indebted to him by him. Whether it's to repay a debt of gratitude or to get Chen Luo to help them fulfill their wishes, understanding Chen Luo is crucial.
"brush!"
However, the sound of a long sword being drawn interrupted everyone's thoughts.
Everyone turned their heads and saw that Huang Quan had let go of Chen Luo's hand at some point. The hilt of Huang Quan's longsword was held in place by Huang Quan's left thumb, leaving the sword in a half-drawn state.
As Huang Quan drew his sword, his right hand turned pale and blood-red, transforming into a non-human form, and then... brutally plunged it into Chen Luo's chest.
Instead of blood and flesh flying everywhere, countless streams of shimmering white light flowed down Chen Luo's chest and soaked into Huang Quan's right hand. Chen Luo's eyes, which had gradually become more humane due to his constant saving of the world, returned to their empty state.
Having done all this, Huang Quan withdrew his right hand and then sheathed the knife with his left.
"Everyone, I apologize for a moment. I will personally correct the mistake I made," Huang Quan apologized to the bewildered crowd.
"Hey, what do you want to do?"
"Chen Luo, now take me to a world where ordinary people can live, a world you are familiar with. I will help you collect the wishes of all living beings." Huang Quan made this wish to Chen Luo beside him.
[Ding! You have a new request!]
[Departure]: 600 Originium.
Huang Quan's desire had never been stronger than when it came to saving his own world.
Chen Luo nodded gently, and under everyone's gaze, took Huang Quan's hand and disappeared from the spot.
……
When Huang Quan came to his senses, he found himself in a seemingly warm and welcoming world brought to him by Chen Luo.
Familiar skyscrapers, familiar traffic.
A modern city, a safe modern city, made Huang Quan, who was used to seeing the world bubble destroyed and the resulting devastation, feel as if he had never been in another world.
"Where is this?" Huang Quan asked.
“Xinghai City. This is my home,” Chen Luo said slowly.
"It seems I made the right choice." The fact that he received a response from Chen Luo even without issuing a commission confirmed Huang Quan's belief in the correctness of his actions.
Huang Quan could tell whether Chen Luo had received a commission or not, because every time Chen Luo received a commission, a faint purple light would flash above his head as proof that he had received the commission, along with the title of the wish. This was a special case that could only be detected through physical contact.
"Would you like to try some ice cream to express my apology?" Huang Quan asked, pointing to a milk tea shop with a large ice cream model standing in front of it not far away.
"..."
"Then I'll take that as your agreement." Huang Quan led Chen Luo toward the milk tea shop.
Huang Quan dared not leave Chen Luo here alone, otherwise Chen Luo might follow someone else because of some wish.
Originally, Chen Luo had accumulated enough power of will to pull himself out of the void, just a little bit more, so he had a certain degree of self-judgment. But Huang Quan had just extracted all the power of will that Chen Luo had accumulated.
Because that road is not the right one.
That's not Chen Luo's path; that's the path Huang Quan wants Chen Luo to take.
Chen Luo has now returned to nothingness, and has become the Holy Grail, easily swayed by someone's wish.
Two minutes later, Huang Quan led Chen Luo out of the milk tea shop, looking somewhat embarrassed.
Because Huang Quan forgot that he didn't have the currency of this world, and this world didn't accept credits.
In the end, he made a wish to Chen Luo, which solved his predicament of not having money to pay the bill.
However, there is still good news.
Although Huang Quan's actions caused Chen Luo's accumulated willpower to leave the void to zero, his willpower accumulation progress reached 2% in just a few minutes after arriving in this world.
This was simply because Huang Quan wanted Chen Luo to pay, and also because a customer who was getting impatient from waiting in line wanted to hear "Can you hurry up?"
Compared to the grand achievements and aspirations of saving the world, these aspirations are insignificant, yet quite ordinary.
Saving the world is not something that can be rushed, and life often doesn't offer such grand goals.
Huang Quan and Chen Luo wandered aimlessly through the streets, without any fixed wishes they wanted to fulfill, but rather drifting along, letting things take their course.
"Could you please move this lousy car? Who told you to park it in the middle of the road?"
"Damn it, my grades on this monthly exam were so low. I'm going to get a beating from my parents when I get home. Can anyone help me? Help me!"
"What an adorable kitten! How did it get hurt? Can anyone help treat it?"
"I'm so hungry, I really want to eat."
"I don't want to work anymore! This client has revised the proposal 17 times already, and they're still not satisfied? What do you mean by 'I don't need to say anything more'? I hope this version will be approved!"
How can I get rid of acne?
"Wearing clothes is such a hassle, why can't everyone just go naked?" said a little kid wearing open-crotch pants.
"This...this won't do!" Huang Quan gripped Chen Luo's hand tightly.
Huang Quan had only taken Chen Luo for a walk down one street when he received about 20 strange and unusual little wishes.
Some of these wishes are easy to fulfill, such as getting rid of acne, while others are quite bizarre, such as the end of the world.
Chen Luo is truly like an emotionless Holy Grail, wanting to fulfill whatever wish he receives. Fortunately, Huang Quan, who has physical contact with Chen Luo before he tries to fulfill a wish, can see the specific requirements of the wish on Chen Luo's head and thus stop or indulge him.
"You need to be able to discern wishes, okay? Not all wishes need to be fulfilled," Huang Quan said, walking beside Chen Luo.
"..." Chen Luo remained silent.
"Alright. This might be a bit too much for you, but I'll keep a close eye on you." Huang Quan sighed.
Through Chen Luo, Huang Quan was able to see dozens of people who had passed by along the way, each with their own wishes, some strange, some serious, and some eccentric.
This may be what is meant by the wish of all living beings.
Not every wish can be fulfilled.
Chen Luo and Huang Quan sat on a bench in the park, watching people come and go.
It's rush hour now...
The premise is that no overtime is required and the 9-to-5 get off work hours are strictly adhered to.
