Their commission was suspicious.

Personalized customization!

"So, the Origin Essence I have is unique? If... if Raiden Mei wants it, I'll transfer it to you," Yomi said after a moment's hesitation.

Huang Quan wasn't hesitant about whether to give it to Raiden Mei... well, there was a little hesitation, but more hesitation was about what to call Raiden Mei.

It feels like calling another version of yourself.

“No, no need. This is what you got, and you probably need it more.” Raiden Mei shook her head.

"You two, stop being so modest, because it's useless. This isn't something you can just transfer whenever you want." Chen Luo's fingers slid over Huang Quan's palm and half of her forearm, which were enveloped in the constantly flowing crystal, allowing him to touch Huang Quan's skin directly through this raw stone essence.

This made Huang Quan feel a little strange, but he didn't dare to move.

Apart from Chen Luo, it would be wishful thinking for anyone else to try to touch Huang Quan's body through this crystalline substance.

Chen Luo had just tried it, and even the chainsaw imbued with the power of the Destruction Commander couldn't break through the defense of this crystalline substance.

This thing does have the hardness of a raw stone, but it is as soft as flowing water and will not affect Huang Quan's behavior in any way.

However, the problem now is that this layer of raw stone essence only appears when Chen Luo specifically wants to see it and comes into close contact with it; otherwise, it disappears.

This is also why Huang Quan hadn't sensed anything unusual before.

"Even you, Lolo, can't control this raw gem essence?" Raiden Mei asked, somewhat surprised.

Raiden Mei always felt that Chen Luo was capable of anything.

"It's not quite like that," Chen Luo said. "It's not impossible to take this layer of raw stone essence from Huang Quan, but the method might not be acceptable to you. In addition, the connection between this layer of raw stone essence and Huang Quan... the transfer will be very difficult."

"Uh, what do you mean by 'method'? We can't accept that. It's not like amputation or something, is it? That's too terrifying!"

"Oh, it's not that extreme... As you all know, raw stones are generally indestructible, but there is one exception."

"Lolo, you wouldn't be referring to..." Raiden Mei, being a top student, quickly thought of the only way she knew to crush the raw stone.

“I need to bite it off little by little,” Chen Luo said, pointing to the layer of raw stone essence.

"..." Huang Quan subconsciously pulled his hands back from Chen Luo's cupped hands.

Holding hands is enough, why did you have to bite?

After Huang Quan pulled his hand back, the layer of primordial stone essence on Huang Quan's hand disappeared directly, as if it had never existed.

[Actually, the Seed of Transcendence should also be able to control these primordial gem essences.]

"Indeed... but never mind. I think Huang Quan seems to like it quite a bit. Let's leave it to her." Chen Luo vaguely sensed Huang Quan's desire for the raw gem glove, but the desire wasn't strong.

"Then let's forget about it. Although this raw gemstone is indeed very beautiful, I don't think anyone would want you to take it this way, Lolo. Besides, Miss Huangquan doesn't seem to dislike these raw gemstones." Raiden Mei forced a somewhat strained smile.

The smile wasn't one of reluctance, but rather a feeling that the method was rather strange.

No wonder Chen Luo said this approach was not very acceptable.

However, if being enveloped in this raw stone essence makes one invulnerable to swords and spears, then if one were to be completely enveloped, would one be virtually invincible, like being immersed in the River Styx in Greek mythology?

"I don't dislike it. In fact, when these raw gemstone essences appear, they give me a rather special sense of security." Huang Quan couldn't quite put his finger on where this feeling came from.

"This is probably because, theoretically speaking, over 90% of these raw gem essences are products of Huang Quan's desire to join me in saving the world and collecting the nectar of redemption. Huang Quan's wishes play a dominant role in these wish essences. In addition, Huang Quan was the first to come into contact with these wish essences..."

Moreover, most of the requests generated by the Yellow Springs are requests to save the world, and saving the world itself contains the meaning of protection.

"So, Lolo, have you figured out the effects of these wish essences?"

"Yes, I've roughly figured it out." Chen Luo nodded.

Chen Luo wasn't holding Huang Quan's hand to take advantage of him; rather, he was using his own power of desire to experience the essence of those desires.

"What effect?" Huang Quan asked.

Huang Quan simply had a slight liking for the glove; he didn't have any expectations for its effects.

"This contains something that flows from my very soul. It's no exaggeration to say it's SSS-level or higher but not quite EX-level. It's just that the quantity is a bit small... As for the effect... Huang Quan, don't resist yet." Chen Luo grabbed Huang Quan's hand with one hand, making the raw stone essence in Huang Quan's hand visible, and then brought it to Huang Quan's sword hilt.

"Draw your sword," Chen Luo said.

Huang Quan did not ask why he drew his sword, but silently placed his right hand on the hilt and slowly pulled out the long sword.

When the long sword was halfway out of its sheath, the sheath slowly disappeared, revealing the blood-red blade.

To Huang Quan's surprise, he did not enter transformation mode when he drew his sword this time.

The Yellow Springs' sword cannot be drawn easily. Every time it is drawn, the Yellow Springs will take another step forward on the path of nothingness.

This is a good thing for other destinies, because the further one goes on a destiny, the more power one gains. But it cannot be called lucky on a destiny of nothingness.

That's why Huang Quan didn't draw his sword when he was initially beating up Duke Minghuo.

I just never expected that the Duke of the Underworld would be so brave!

But this time, Huang Quan drew his sword, yet remained completely unaffected.

Huang Quan's gaze fell upon the shimmering, exquisite raw stone.

Is this thing protecting itself?

"No, nine out of ten parts are wrong!" Chen Luo frowned.

"Hmm?" To be on the safe side, Huang Quan slowly sheathed his sword.

After returning to his abode, Chen Luo released Huang Quan's hand and began to pace around the bar with a frown on his face.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Raiden Mei asked worriedly before Huang Quan could speak.

"This layer of raw stone essence did indeed prevent Huang Quan from paying the price for drawing his sword, and it didn't affect the sword's original power at all. But what about Bai Mao? Drawing the sword without transforming is pointless!"

Chen Luo was incredulous; the raw stone essence could have such side effects!

"..." by Huang Quan.

"Is transformation... important for unleashing power?" Raiden Mei asked Yomi beside her, somewhat confused.

“It has no impact whatsoever,” Huang Quan said calmly.

"...Lolo! Be serious for once!" Mei sighed.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

"But Huang Quan's transformed form is really cool." Chen Luo sat back down, dissatisfied.

"Is he really that handsome?"

Raiden Mei has never seen Yomi transform after drawing her sword, so she doesn't know.

"He's really handsome. And very beautiful too." Chen Luo nodded.

"..." This was the first time Huang Quan had heard someone describe his form as "beautiful" from another person.

But Chen Luo probably had no reason to lie to himself...

"Anyway, I'll see if I can design a system that allows me to freely control whether or not I enter transformation mode. But before that, the more important thing is how to solve the problem of this Primal Essence disappearing whenever it leaves my distance." After Chen Luo touched Huang Quan's right hand again, the Wish Essence reappeared on Huang Quan's right hand.

“These essences of wishes were originally formed by me infusing them with humanity and willpower when I broke through the void blockade. Therefore, they are very effective in dealing with the power and influence of the void destiny. In addition, 90% of the composition of the original stone essence is related to it, so you can call it the Hand of Redemption,” Chen Luo said.

"The Hand of Redemption..."

Huang Quan, however, thought the name was quite fitting.

Whether these raw gemstones represent a person shrouded in nothingness who, through their own will, escapes nothingness and achieves self-redemption, or whether they embody the desire to save the world, they are worthy of the name.

"The name sounds nice, but the conditions for this raw gem essence to appear are very demanding. Lolo, do you have any other ideas?" Raiden Mei asked.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

"I've already come up with a solution," Chen Luo nodded.

Raiden Mei is indeed very concerned about matters concerning the underworld.

"any solution?"

"The raw stone will always be the best vessel for my power, and it is also the thing that best represents me, so just placing one raw stone is enough." As Chen Luo spoke, he took out a raw stone and placed it on Huang Quan's radiant right hand.

The integration of the raw stone is smoother than expected; it blends in as soon as it touches the essence of the raw stone.

When Chen Luo's hand left Huang Quan, for the first time, the essence of the primordial stone on Huang Quan's right hand did not disappear despite Chen Luo's departure.

"It works! But... keeping Huang Quan's hand in this state all the time probably isn't good, is it?" Raiden Mei said with some distress.

"It's okay, I can wear gloves." Huang Quan shook his head.

Huang Quan would be very satisfied if he could use it regardless of the cost and draw the knife, even if only once.

“Relying on external forces is always restrictive, so let me help you modify it.” Chen Luo grasped Huang Quan’s hand again, and the raw stone essence in Huang Quan’s hand, which looked like glass, began to gather until it turned into a ring.

The ring, made entirely of glass, was placed on Huang Quan's right middle finger, and adorned with a gemstone whose color closely resembled the original stone.

[Ding! Mission complete!]

“This ring is the essence of the raw stone, and the gemstone on it is actually the raw stone. Wearing a ring shouldn’t affect your ability to draw your sword, right? Or should we switch to a bracelet?” Chen Luo asked Huang Quan for his opinion.

"No more trouble, this is fine as it is." Huang Quan shook his head.

"Uh..." Raiden Mei hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

If Raiden Mei remembers correctly, when a girl wears a ring on the middle finger of her right hand, it sometimes signifies that she is in a relationship or married.

Of course, it also symbolizes attracting wealth.

However, given that the middle finger is the longest finger, it is sometimes worn here simply for aesthetic reasons, just to look pretty.

Seeing that neither Chen Luo nor Huang Quan mentioned this matter, Raiden Mei felt that her focus might be a little strange.

"What's wrong, Mei?" Chen Luo seemed to have noticed something about Raiden Mei and had something to say.

"It's nothing." Raiden Mei shook her head.

Since it's not in my own world, the customs should be different.

And someone like Huang Quan, a lone wolf traversing the galaxy, probably wouldn't care about such things, right?

"Now I can draw my sword without paying a price using my right hand. If I need to regain my memories, I can use my left hand..." Huang Quan felt fine after getting used to it.

Huang Quan's sword is placed on his left side. If it is only to slightly unsheathe the sword to restore his memories, he can use his left hand. The presence of the original stone essence will not cause any trouble in this regard.

However, after trying to recover his memories with his left hand, Huang Quan looked at the ring on the middle finger of his right hand and seemed to realize something.

But Huang Quan glanced at Raiden Mei and Chen Luo and, seeing that they didn't seem to find it strange, felt too embarrassed to say anything.

Oh well, we're from different worlds, maybe our customs are different.

“There’s another thing to note…” Chen Luo attracted the attention of Huang Quan and Mei.

"What is it?"

"Original Stone Essence can indeed isolate the void, but it can only isolate 99% of the void, because Huang Quan takes it out when the Original Stone Essence progress reaches 99%."

Strictly speaking, these original essences belong to unripe fruits.

The reason why no impact was observed when Huang Quan drew his sword is because Huang Quan drew his sword, but did not cut anyone.

“But don’t worry, if Huang Quan draws his sword, the primordial stone can cover the cost. I estimate it will take about five draws for the stone to dissipate. However, if the sword bullets don’t hit anyone, it seems like the draws aren’t wasted. I call these ‘secret skill points’,” Chen Luo said.

"Five times? That's enough." Huang Quan nodded.

Being able to draw the sword five times without taking damage is enough for Huang Quan to cut his way from the South Heavenly Gate to the North Heavenly Gate.

"Furthermore, when you draw your sword in the Underworld, you enter a state of nothingness. In this state, you travel much faster than usual. In addition, as long as you don't hit anyone, your sword strikes won't count. So, in the Underworld, you can even travel quickly by drawing your sword. Just be careful not to accidentally injure anyone," Chen Luo said.

"That's really unnecessary," Huang Quan shook his head.

Using a sword to travel is just too strange.

And it wouldn't be good if we accidentally cut down some cats, dogs, flowers, plants, or sheep.

"Don't underestimate this state! Huang Quan, lend me your sword for a moment, I'll help you figure out how to use it to cleave through space, it'll make traveling really fast, trust me."

“…Alright.” Huang Quan looked at Chen Luo’s expectant eyes, hesitated for a moment, and then handed the knife to Chen Luo.

To be honest, for a moment Huang Quan felt that Chen Luo just wanted to play with his knife.

Hmm, that's probably unlikely, right?

But when Huang Quan thought about how Chen Luo's final obsession was to steal the little girl's lollipop, he became uncertain.

“In exchange, I’ll play… I’ll study your sword, and I won’t treat you unfairly. Here are 20 Primogems, enough for you to chop Grand Duke Netherfire 100 times.” Chen Luo tossed a bag of Primogems to Huang Quan.

"The Grand Duke of Netherfire?" Huang Quan was taken aback.

Who?
