Their commission was suspicious.

Originally, it would have taken four months to eliminate the Tenth Herrscher, but after Chen Luo intervened, it didn't even take a month. This was because the Herrschers of a Thousand hated Chen Luo deeply, as he was the one who could make one of the Herrschers of a Thousand betray him.

Furthermore, the fact that the core of the Thousand Herrscher can be controlled by a Knight without dying, giving Thousand Calamity a huge advantage, turned this battle into a massacre.

The only pity is that Qianjie didn't die.

Well, this wasn't Chen Luo's idea; it was the idea of ​​the higher-ups at Firemoth who were watching the battle on the same screen.

Chen Luo sensed their wishes, and also their desire to prevent Qian Jie from coming into contact with any weapons.

Because of this battle, they believed that Qianjie was in danger not only with weapons, but also without them.

Fortunately, the "Knight Doesn't Die Barehanded" skill is a one-time use skill; otherwise, the higher-ups of the Firemoth might not even dare to assign Thousand Calamity as a teammate anymore.

"Alright, now that things are over, everyone can go home. Oh, right, Virviel, stay a moment." Dr. Mei said, leaving with her arm around Chen Luo's shoulder, preparing to leave Virviel.

"What?" Velvi asked, turning her head.

"It's nothing much, I just hope you can come up with the method for creating the Divine Key for the Herrscher Core of this thousand Herrschers within three days," Mei said casually.

"Huh? Each Herrscher core has to be designed individually?" Velvi was taken aback.

Seeing Dr. May looking at her quietly, Virvi felt like the sky had fallen.

If a single Divine Key requires at least ten versions of its design, wouldn't nearly a thousand Divine Keys require tens of thousands of versions?

Even if I stayed up hundreds of nights, I still wouldn't be able to finish fixing it!

No, we must come up with a suitable collaborative design solution, such as creating a template.

Vilvi started biting her thumb.

"Oh, by the way, leave those 200-plus Herrscher Cores related to Qianjie to me. I'll be responsible for forging the Divine Keys for them," Chen Luo said.

"Do you want to take action yourself? That's fine too. But regarding the artificial Collapse Form..." Dr. Mei's gaze fell on Fu Hua, who was standing next to Chen Luo.

"Just leave this to Mebius, she can do it too. Also, let Qianjie keep the core that belongs to Imer, so that it doesn't get mixed up with the other Herrscher cores and cause another big commotion in order to find it," Chen Luo reminded him.

“What you said does fit Qianjie’s habits… I understand.” Mei nodded.

"Lolo, you're so kind to me. You've relieved me of the burden of over 200 Herrscher cores in one go. How can I possibly thank you?" Velvi sighed.

"Help me pick out a suitable Herrscher Core from the remaining 700-plus Herrscher Cores and create a Key of Domination for her," Chen Luo said.

"Sure, but can't you be a little more ambitious?" Wilvi seemed somewhat disappointed with Chen Luo's choice.

"Then help me create another monitor that can monitor other people's weight in real time, preferably one that even a fusion warrior who has fused with a Hollow Beast of the End of Magic level wouldn't be able to detect."

"...Right now, there are only two Fusion Warriors of the Fire Moth who have fused with the End-of-Demonic Honkai Beast. Lolo, you're not planning to use this on me, are you?" Chen Luo's shoulders slumped, and behind him appeared Alicia with a dangerous smile on her face.

With the Tenth Herrscher eliminated and not seriously injured, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and even had the mood to joke around.

What we need to do now is prepare for the Eleventh Herrscher.

A certain degree of positive mindset is one of the keys to preventing one from experiencing a mental breakdown before death in this apocalyptic world.

Just like this very moment.

……

"Oh no, oh no, oh no! Shana, are you alright?" When Chen Luo released Shana from the landscape design, he was shocked to see Shana looking as if she had been burned out.

Chen Luo remembered something he had forgotten: Xia Na, who was at level 5 in the Fire-starting skill, had been kept in the Mountain and River Design Drawing for several days without being released.

Shana, who had been maintaining her fire-breathing state and even trying to use the "divine descent" mode with Alastor because she wouldn't die inside the Mountain and River Design Blueprint, successfully mastered the skill after several days of practice... but then burned out.

Of course, Shana's efforts were worthwhile, because Shana's extremely advanced fire-starting skills greatly increased the "fire-starting" proficiency accumulated in the Mountain and River Design Blueprint, which could be converted into forging speed.

Conservative estimates suggest that this is enough to reduce the time required to forge the exclusive Divine Key of a Thousand Calamities from at least one month to at most one hour.

This is what makes the landscape design plan so terrifying!

As long as there are enough Palu... Chen Luo is referring to people who are willing to work hard for their dreams. The Shanhe Design Drawings are highly effective in assisting in the reconstruction of Shanhe.

"Finally out! The landscape design was so boring." After Chen Luo fed Shana several Paradise Coins, Shana finally recovered.

Chen Luo didn't exploit Xia Na too much; Xia Na had a long rest period and the food was quite luxurious.

The only problem is that life within the landscape design plan is somewhat boring.

"Sorry, sorry, I accidentally forgot you in the landscape design plan," Chen Luo apologized.

"It doesn't matter, I've learned a lot from the Shanhe Design Plan anyway." Shana waved her hand generously.

For example, how to minimize the losses incurred by Alastor, the god of divine punishment, when he descends upon them.

"But are we back again?" Shana asked after closing her eyes and sensing the atmosphere of this world.

After spending some time in the landscape design blueprint, Shana could clearly perceive just how different her own world was from the world within the blueprint.

As beings whose abilities can only be used normally in the real world of the fantasy world by relying on the power of recognition, Shana and the others can clearly sense whether they are in the fantasy world or not.

“That’s right.” Chen Luo nodded.

Holding the Key of True Self that he had retrieved from Alicia, Chen Luo was about to rest after returning to the bar from the previous civilization when he remembered something else. So he immediately followed Yakumo Yukari to the world where Altair was located.

The excuse that Yukari Yakumo used to trick Chen Luo into going to the Fantasy World this morning and then leave a tooth mark on Chen Luo's neck wasn't entirely an excuse.

Yukari Yakumo seems to know the strategy of using the truth to construct a lie.

Altair had already created the initial content about Shimazaki Setsuna that he had made himself. After Chen Luofang put a little polish on the copybook guide of the group network, the story about Shimazaki Setsuna generated an extremely enthusiastic response in this world in just one day.

The only thing missing now is for Chen Luo to use his power of recognition to summon Shimazaki Setsuna.

Perhaps because Chen Luo's control over the power of wishes was becoming deeper and deeper, after returning to the bar, he was able to sense the desire revealed in the request issued by Shimazaki Setsuna even through his talent panel.

After learning that Yukari Yakumo had not lied about this matter, Chen Luo immediately went to the fantasy world.

After Chen Luo donned the cloak of the omniscient and omnipotent Root Holy Grail once again, he first glanced at the current state of all the created beings in the fantasy world and then discovered that one of them seemed to be missing.

Aside from Chikujoin Makan, who is currently still adrift in the Dimensional Sea, there is Shana, who has been temporarily placed in the Mountain and River Design Blueprint by Chen Luo.

That's why they quickly called Shana out.

Speaking of which, ever since he completed Shana's request and brought her back to her own world, the world consciousness of that world settled the reward for Chen Luo's identity mission, and gave him the method of how to convert Paradise Gold Coins into experience.

Therefore, the park gradually gained a foothold in the other world where Aqua was located.

Although there are some forces eyeing the Paradise because their interests have been harmed, the Paradise adventurers are capable of resolving these issues without Chen Luo needing to intervene.

Well, what if we can't solve the problem? Then we'll deal with the person who created the problem.

"Now that you've called me out, does that mean I'll be able to return to my own world soon?" Shana asked Chen Luo.

Shana remembered that the reason Chen Luo sent her to the Mountain and River Design was because there were too many created beings in this world. In order to alleviate the pressure on this world, Shana had to make do.

"Yes, that's right. We'll be going back soon, in three days at most. And I've prepared a lot of Recognition Power for you to take back as local specialties. Although using Recognition Power to drastically alter facts in the real world would cause the world's elasticity coefficient to explode and have immeasurable consequences, it can be used freely in the fantasy world." Chen Luo casually tossed Shana a Holy Grail.

As the origin of the Holy Grail, Chen Luo transformed the power of recognition he collected in this world into the shape of the Holy Grail, so that these created beings who brought the Holy Grail back to their own world could use it more conveniently.

Changing the plot of the real world where the creator resides may be targeted by the world consciousness, but bringing the power of recognition back to the fantasy world and changing it at will will not bother the world consciousness at all.

Just like no one cares what happens to the main characters after the story ends.

Unless there are plans to make a sequel.

"You can wander around in reality for now, I'm going to see Altair." Chen Luo casually tossed Shana into the conference room filled with created beings, then disappeared from the spot.

When Chen Luo reappeared, he saw Altair pacing back and forth in the bedroom.

Altair's bedroom was very clean, with only a sofa and some other equipment used for creating videos.

Chen Luo found it hard to imagine just how much Altair really liked this sofa.

"You've finally arrived! My work has been published and has already garnered over 100 million views and hundreds of thousands of comments. I think I've gained enough recognition, right?" Altair spotted the intruder immediately and summoned his saber. But upon seeing that it was Chen Luo, he sheathed his saber and approached him anxiously.

Altair's work achieved such a good effect within a day mainly because of the group network's forced push service—watching the entire video would earn a reward of 1000 yen.

Furthermore, after being polished by the plagiarist's time-travel guide, the video's creative quality is indeed very high, and the content is thought-provoking, so it's incredibly popular at least today.

While there is indeed some suspicion of buying views, the number of comments appears to be spontaneous.

"That's enough, that's enough." Chen Luo nodded.

"When can Setsuna be resurrected?" Altair asked anxiously.

"Anytime is fine." Chen Luo brought his hand to his mouth, then opened it and blew on it gently.

Countless dazzling powders instantly enveloped the entire room.

These countless powders are not elements of lies disguised as truth dust, but rather the tiny wishes of countless viewers who watched this video, collected by Chen Luo through the power of wishes after he came to this world and adapted for a while.

You may never have noticed, but when a viewer sees a tragedy unfold in a work, the thought often arises in their mind, "How wonderful it would have been if this tragedy hadn't happened."

For example, when watching Akame ga Kill!, when you see the main characters, the protagonist Tatsumi dying in battle against the Supreme Imperial Arm, Leona being wounded by a minister's gun, and dying in a dark alley after the war...

Seeing that almost the entire main cast had died, with only Akame, afflicted by a curse, carrying her Imperial Arm across the ocean, if you truly like this work and its characters, you'll definitely have thoughts like hoping for a happy ending.

Human emotions and thoughts are often irrational.

Even knowing it's just a work of art, a wish still arises.

Even though these wishes are very small, when they are gathered together, their influence can still be quite considerable.

Fortunately, this was only a small wish. If it were a more profound wish for all living beings, Chen Luo might not have been able to collect them so smoothly and quickly.

Chen Luo's purpose was not to revive Shimazaki Setsuna, because reviving Shimazaki Setsuna wouldn't require such a large-scale event. Chen Luo wanted to help Altair create a "world" with Shimazaki Setsuna.

As countless tiny wishes enveloped the entire room, Altair seemed to sense a spatial displacement.

It seemed as if I had left my room and arrived at another place.

No, it's not just "seems".

I had indeed arrived at another place, a train station, a familiar train station!

And he changed his clothes from his usual home clothes to his familiar military uniform.

Altair knew this station and remembered it vividly.

When his creator, Setsuna Shimazaki, went to the train station to commit suicide, he had already set a timer for the release of his work.

Almost at the time of Setsuna Shimazaki's death, a work by Altair began to circulate online.

Altair was fortunate because her creator showered her with love, but she was also unfortunate because her creator died at the same time she was born into the world.

And this is that station.

When Altair recalled what Chen Luo had promised him, he subconsciously searched for that familiar yet unfamiliar figure in the very empty station. Then he saw a pretty black-haired girl wearing glasses, standing quietly at the station entrance.

This is a miracle!

A miracle created by the twisting and creation of countless tiny wishes and the unique power of recognition in this world!

"Althael." A soft call came from the delicate figure.

“You’ve worked so hard. I’ve seen all your efforts. Thank you for everything you’ve done for me.” Setsuna Shimazaki said softly as she watched Altair, who stood frozen in shock, tears streaming down his face.

"Huh?" Altair, who was about to rush over, paused for a moment, because the current situation seemed to be different from what he had imagined.

"This is not a world and Shimazaki Setsuna constructed by the belief in the power of recognition, but Shimazaki Setsuna who was resurrected through an evolved resurrection technique by trading with the world and using the power of the savior."

Chen Luo appeared in the empty station without anyone noticing.

"An evolved...resurrection spell?" Altair tilted his head slightly.

Altair especially didn't understand that if Chen Luo could revive Shimazaki Setsuna through some evolved resurrection technique, what would be the point of him creating works there that contained his feelings for Setsuna?

Aren't you just messing with the military princess?

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not kidding you. I only recently learned the evolved resurrection spell myself. It's just that the bar is constantly changing these days, and sometimes if you get the right items, even difficult requests become easy again."

"Of course, your creations have not been wasted. Do you see this world before you? It is a world built by the recognition you received from all the audiences after creating works about Shimazaki Setsuna, and by the slight regret you felt after seeing Shimazaki Setsuna's ending!"

"This is a real world, a world that belongs only to the two of you! Congratulations, Altair, you have become the last and true creator of this world! You can unleash your imagination and create everything in this world." Chen Luo said to Altair with a smile.

Relying on the power of desire and the unique recognition of this world, Altair created a false yet real world, a world that exists only for Altair and Setsuna Shimazaki.

This was a free surprise that Chen Luo gave after he realized Altair's deeper desire.

Altair was utterly disillusioned with this reality that wouldn't allow its creator to live.

"Hmm!" Just as Altair was in a daze, a strange sound came from beside him.

Altair then remembered that besides the shocking news brought by Chen Luo, there was another, more important person right beside him.

"Setsuna, what's wrong?" When Altair saw Shimazaki Setsuna squatting on the ground with his head buried in his knees, he rushed over and asked with concern.

"Hmm, maybe she's just socially bankrupt. After all, for a shut-in girl, knowing that her story has been viewed by countless people nearly a hundred million times would inevitably lead to a sense of self-destruction," Chen Luo said quietly.
