Their commission was suspicious.

[I think your situation is completely different from Huang Quan's. One was shrouded in the shadow of the Void Star God, while the other was devoured by the Void Star God and then devoured the Void Star God in return. The difference is probably quite significant.]

"That's not important. What's important is that the gains were huge. Or rather... enormous!"

Although Chen Luo's panel did not display anything, he had indeed obtained some kind of power related to authority.

Now, Chen Luo can not only obtain raw stones by fulfilling wishes, but also trigger wishes more sensitively, and can even guide others to find their own wishes.

The seed of transcendence is shining brightly at this moment.

Chen Luo truly understood how to use this power when he saw Yaeka.

The false power of desire: If you have a wish, then go and fulfill it!

The true power of desire: If you don't have a desire, create one, and then fulfill it!

However, the power of desire is not yet proficient in this area. Although proficiency can be improved through gradual familiarization, devouring all the Void Star Gods would be a faster method.

"A contribution worth 3000 Primogems, after deducting the 300 Primogems I owe you, boss, there are still 2700 Primogems left. If all of them are converted into merit points..." Vita looked at Chen Luo expectantly.

The only way to gain merit is to help Chen Luo obtain Primogems, and what Vita did was to save Chen Luo the trouble of spending 3000 Primogems.

“2700 merits,” Chen Luo said.

"This doesn't make sense. 20 Primogems for a wisp of World Origin, and a wisp of World Origin sells for 1000 Merit Points, so that's 3000 Primogems..."

3000 raw stones can be exchanged for 15 merit points!

Even if it's only 2000 Originium, let alone 2700 Originium, you can still get 10 Merit Points.

"Who taught you to calculate it like that? If Xing helps me earn 100 Primal Stones, I'll only give her 100 Merit Points... at most 3000 Merit Points," Chen Luo said.

“Deal!” Vita agreed decisively.

Vita knew the calculation method; she had only said that to gain more merits.

"Actually, I would recommend that you get a monthly 'mistakes' package. That way, I can pretend I didn't see any trouble you cause within a month."

“What? Then…” Vita stretched out a leg toward Chen Luo.

"I'm just saying that you can pretend you didn't see the mistake after it happened, not that I'm ignoring the mistake you're making." Chen Luo's forehead veins bulged.

What? You want me to give you a massage?

Don't go too far.

"Never mind then. 3000 merit points are much better." Vita shook her head.

It sounds unfair that Chen Luo's raw stone and merit are discussed, but Vita was able to awaken Huang Quan. The credit doesn't go entirely to Vita; the world consciousness also played a role.

Looking back, you still need to accumulate 3000 merits in World Consciousness.

3000 merit points can be exchanged for 3 strands of World Origin, and World Consciousness should not feel that this is too little.

[World Consciousness: Huh? Am I here to gain merit?]

Moreover, saving Chen Luo 3000 raw stones was thanks to everyone, but the biggest credit goes to...

"As for the last..." Chen Luo's gaze fell on Huang Quan.

"Me?" Huang Quan pointed to himself.

"Hmm. But we don't need to say anything more. As the person who has helped me the most, I will do my best to help you fulfill whatever wish you make. Even if you don't want to, I won't give up. After experiencing what it's like to be a self-destructor, I have a deeper understanding of the needs of self-destructors."

The state of self-destruction, characterized by a lack of desire and wants, is more a result of the influence of the formless and invisible body than of one's own will.

"Ugh?"

"Whether it's using the nectar of redemption to save the world, helping you find the meaning of existence, helping you escape self-destruction, filling the emptiness in your heart, or even helping you to exploit the power of nothingness without being harmed, these are all things I need to do next," Chen Luo said earnestly.

Chen Luo knew that Huang Quan had already prepared to face the real enemy at the beginning of his journey.

Originally leading the Yellow Springs to self-destruction into nothingness, she unknowingly grasped it in her hand.

It seems that Huang Quan had already made up his mind.

But Chen Luo didn't quite agree.

Enlightenment is enlightenment, and self-destruction is self-destruction. Chen Luo has always believed that it is important for a story to have a perfect ending.

These things may sound like a lot, but they are actually quite simple to solve.

Once Chen Luo has consumed all the Void Star Gods, these tasks will be more than half completed.

“…Thank you,” Huang Quan said after a moment of silence.

"Don't be so polite. Let me help you with the last thing. Here, extend your right hand." Chen Luo dragged a chair over to Huang Quan and sat down, then extended his hand to Huang Quan.

"Hmm?" Although Huang Quan was a little surprised, he reached out his hand out of the tacit understanding and trust they had built up over the course of the day.

Chen Luo held Huang Quan's right hand in his hands, as if he were holding some kind of treasure.

Huang Quan was initially a little unaccustomed to Chen Luo's attitude towards her right hand, but then she saw her right hand gradually becoming crystal clear in Chen Luo's hand...

"This is..." Huang Quan felt a strong sense of familiarity when he saw the light attached to his right hand.

"This is the inheritance you received after you ripped my chest open with your right hand. Have you forgotten?" Chen Luo stared intently at Huang Quan's hand.

"Oh, I remember Huang Quan used his right hand to stab the boss in the chest back then," Vita realized.

The shimmering, crystalline substance that was about to fill the emptiness in Chen Luo's heart flowed through the hole pierced by Huang Quan and onto Huang Quan's right hand.

After teleporting away with Chen Luo, Huang Quan didn't feel any changes in his right hand, so he didn't pay any attention to it. He never expected such a strange change.

Huang Quan's right hand now seems to be shrouded in a layer of flowing raw stone.

Chen Luo was so tempted that he wanted to take a bite.

"Ding-a-ling!" The wind chimes rang out.

The sound of the wind chimes did not draw Chen Luo's attention away from Huang Quan's hand until Huang Quan withdrew his hand himself.

Chen Luo looked towards the bar entrance as if waking from a dream.

Then I saw Raiden Mei standing at the bar entrance, staring blankly at Huang Quan and Chen Luo.

"Mei, let me explain, Huang Quan and I..." Chen Luo said subconsciously.

“There’s nothing to explain,” Raiden Mei said slowly.

"But actually..."

"Lolo, I knew you could make sure Miss Huang Quan accepted the help. It's so great to see you two getting along so well." Raiden Mei looked at Chen Luo with a look of satisfaction in her eyes, and it seemed... she wasn't being sarcastic.

"..." Chen Luo felt that Raiden Mei's reaction was a bit off.

[That makes sense. Have you forgotten? Because of the silver tiger charm you gave her, Raiden Mei has long since gotten used to sharing you with another version of herself... just like this morning. And Yomi is another Raiden Mei.]

[I can only say, my lord, you truly are amazing! Did you know this day would come and plan ahead? Incredible!]

The user-friendly plugin was an instant sensation.

It was a bit disappointing not to see a chaotic scene.

"No, I didn't! Don't talk nonsense!"

Chapter 2219 Yellow Springs: Huh? Why am I missing one Secret Skill Point?

Looking at Raiden Mei's gentle smile, Huang Quan suddenly remembered what Chen Luo had said when she asked him why he had willingly placed the willow crown on her head and helped her—[It was his recognition of your gradually rising desire in your constant recollection, your habit of saving the world, your affection for Raiden Mei as an individual, his curiosity about the colors gradually filling your heart, and his reflection on the meaning of a person's existence.]

One of them is her fondness for Raiden Mei, but thankfully, it's only one of them.

This won't make Huang Quan feel like he's a substitute for someone else; on the contrary, he'll be surprised by the similarity between them.

Looking at Raiden Mei, Yomi was reminded of her past self.

During the countless retrospective salvation processes conducted today, consciousness traveled back to the past, and Huang Quan relived countless seemingly peaceful times.

And each time I travel back in time to look at myself in the mirror, I vaguely see my former self again...

Back then, I was very similar to Mei in front of me...

Izumo was once on the verge of destruction. In order to survive, they broke their swords with the remains of gods, and the wielders of the swords were revered as heroes who saved the country.

However, over time, the people of Izumo gradually changed their term for those sword masters from "human" to "demon".

Unable to resist the invaders, the savior steals their power to fight back, only to be seen as an outcast by the survivors of his own world—it all seems like an eternal destiny.

The Raiden Mei before him resembled himself before he wielded a knife.

After wielding the knife, it grew horns resembling those of a demon and gradually began to be ostracized by the survivors.

This may be fate, because the sword forged by the evil god chooses the person, not the other way around.

"So, Lolo, you didn't show up at the bar all day because you went through so much." Raiden Mei was very relieved after hearing Chen Luo recount the whole day's events in detail.

Fortunately, with Huang Quan's help, Chen Luo found the path that best suited him.

Thankfully, it wasn't me who grabbed Chen Luo's hand, otherwise... Chen Luo would probably have failed this time.

Because if I were to have a Chen Luo who would listen to me completely, I probably wouldn't do anything as respectable as what Huang Quan did.

Although... Raiden Mei was still a little too envious.

Perhaps a stranger he knew would be more helpful in helping Chen Luo escape the void. And Huang Quan, who was also a self-destructive being, was undoubtedly the most suitable person.

Huang Quan's intuition and understanding of nothingness did indeed help him correct Chen Luo's course, putting Chen Luo on the right path.

"This hand is so beautiful," Raiden Mei said, looking at Yomi's right hand, which had once again appeared in Chen Luo's hands, shimmering with iridescent light.

It was like a raw stone, yet its color and texture were even more in line with women's aesthetics.

It resembles a jade hand.

[All jade knows how to do...]

Huang Quan felt a little uncomfortable with Chen Luo and Raiden Mei staring at his right hand.

But Chen Luo's reasons were quite reasonable.

Fortunately, since they were discussing serious matters and it involved Huang Quan's privacy, the three of them went to the second floor, where they wouldn't be watched by anyone except Raiden Mei and Chen Luo, which relieved Huang Quan.

"This thing isn't a raw stone, but it's even more precious than a raw stone. It's the essence of a raw stone, formed by the power of wishes and the humanity carried in those wishes. It's not that its price is higher than a raw stone, but its effects are very unique," Chen Luo said.

"How special is the effect?" Raiden Mei couldn't help but ask.

Because Raiden Mei wanted it too.

"I don't know. This thing is a special essence brewed from raw stones and humanity within the emptiness of my heart. I'm analyzing its effects." Chen Luo shook his head.

"Even investigative capabilities can't analyze it immediately?"

“I might have the reconnaissance capabilities, but I haven’t activated them. So for now, I can only research it on my own,” Chen Luo explained.

"Oh." Raiden Mei remembered Chen Luo's announcement that he had decided not to use his reconnaissance abilities today.

"If you want a similar Originium Essence, it's probably hopeless, because it's an extremely rare find. Even if you could be so cruel as to let me enter the Void state again, it wouldn't work, because I'm practically immune to the Void now." Chen Luo seemed to see the longing in Raiden Mei's eyes, and so he said.

After Chen Luo stepped his authority into the void, and with the hundreds of wishes of all living beings he observed while devouring the void, Chen Luo can now see clearly what the other party desires even without activating his reconnaissance abilities.

If you don't know if the other person has any wishes, or what their wishes are, how can you guide them to have new wishes?

"Although I really want to, I would never let you risk your life again, Luo Luo." Raiden Mei gently poked Chen Luo's forehead with her finger.

"I know, I just mentioned it casually."

Practice makes perfect. Now that he has managed to escape the void on his own, Chen Luo will not enter this void state again, even if he swallows the Void Star God whole.

Instead, it is transformed into pure resources to nourish the nothingness inherent in the power of desire.

Who knows, if Chen Luo wants others to have a certain wish, then the other party might have that wish.

In the midst of battle, suddenly causing the opponent to have a certain wish would undoubtedly cause considerable interference. Among those who transcend, this ability is so powerful that it is difficult to defend against.

If it involves some power and authority, perhaps by using the desires it evokes, a large net can be constructed to steer fate in the direction Chen Luo expects.

However, once Chen Luo has devoured the entire Void Star God and mastered the power of the Void, he will be able to create something similar.

However... Chen Luo felt that making this raw stone essence would be a bit difficult.

Because apart from Chen Luo's own humanity, the raw stone, being such a proud thing, will not accept the fusion of anything else.

Even so, because the wishes fulfilled each time are different and the human nature revealed is different, the essence of the raw stone is also different each time.
