Their commission was suspicious.

One share of the World Source is enough; the Wish Response Mechanism has been running for a long time.

After all, not every wish is earth-shattering; most wishes are reflected in the insignificant aspects of daily life.

“…Little Luo, you must understand that there are endless wishes in the world. The tragic wishes you have seen are only a tiny part of the whole world,” Genyuan said.

"I know. I'll give you some more raw gems later. Remember to add some World Source."

"You don't need to replenish the raw stones. It's just a few shares of World Origin. Do whatever makes you happy." Root waved his hand.

The wish fulfilled by the Root Source's allocation of funds to the Heavenly Mechanism will not turn into a raw stone and fall into Chen Luo's hands. Therefore, it has no interest relationship with Chen Luo, which means that no matter how much the Root Source invests, it has nothing to do with Chen Luo.

It will only affect Chen Luo's mood.

Therefore, investing in the source of the world will not affect Chen Luo, so you can invest with confidence.

The price of this Celestial Mechanism is very high, so Root doesn't mind putting more World Source into it.

In any case, the dividends received from Chen Luo's parents were more than enough for Genyuan to spend.

Using Chen Luo's parents' money to buy Chen Luo's favor sounds pretty appealing.

"I will continue to improve this mechanism. Although even if I become a transcendent being, I cannot grant all the wishes in the world, as that would throw the entire dimensional sea into chaos. But this mechanism can at least provide some responses to those who harbor desires," Chen Luo said.

Wishes are neither good nor bad, but the people who make them are.

If every wish could be granted indiscriminately, the world would have been ruined long ago.

“But you were once the world’s consciousness, and you know that the source of the world cannot be used entirely for the living beings within the world; it also needs to maintain the world’s normal operation. Even if this mechanism were to be widely adopted, it would be impossible to save all those with aspirations,” the source said.

“I know, but there will always be someone who cares. Just like how the world consciousness uses this mechanism to target and fix a loophole, there will always be at least one lucky person whose wish is fulfilled as a result. It’s better than nothing, isn’t it?” Chen Luo said.

Therefore, Chen Luo will charge less for the customization fee of the "Heavenly" mechanism.

Even a slim probability is better than no probability at all.

"Alright, like I said, whatever makes you happy." Genyuan nodded.

Looking back, the first few shares of the World Source are within the Heavenly Mechanism; let's celebrate that Chen Luo has truly confirmed his thoughts.

Those who transcend are omnipotent.

Just like a puppeteer, they can even bring everyone except the transcendent ones under their control, making them live happily and orderly.

But those can only be considered puppets, not living beings.

If Chen Luo were to become a transcendent being, he could also grant anyone's wishes, but that might make the dimensional sea even more chaotic.

Chen Luo could make everyone's wishes pure and good, but that would still be like turning all the creatures in the entire dimensional sea into his puppets.

This may be Chen Luo's wish, but it is not the wish of all living beings.

Therefore, what Chen Luo needs to do is not to fulfill all his wishes, but to fulfill as many wishes as possible.

After all, besides Chen Luo, Chen Luo has countless wish-seekers, doesn't he?

Moreover, Chen Luo's detachment will materialize the power of desires, making the laws not just simple laws, but reflections of reality.

This means that after Chen Luo transcends, any wish has a tiny chance of success, no matter how bizarre it may be. As long as Chen Luo deems a wish worth fulfilling, it will possess this quality.

Help from others eventually comes to an end; the only person who can help you selflessly is yourself.

Chen Luo will grant everyone who wants to realize their wish the right to do so.

This is the significance of the Transcendent Ones to the Dimensional Sea—making the Dimensional Sea more diverse.

Therefore, some scholars even believe that the Dimensional Ocean is playing a grand game.

This idea wasn't simply about profit or the pursuit of raw stones; it was simply that Chen Luo felt the world, though not how it should operate, was how it should operate.

While Chen Luo was pondering this matter, without noticing, the Seed of Transcendence, which he had placed in his backpack, developed a crack.

"Alright. Finally finished treating the last patient with Root Cause Syndrome." Chen Luo breathed a sigh of relief after curing the last patient.

Although treating these root syndromes earned Chen Luo a lot of raw gems, Chen Luo disliked repetitive activities.

Moreover, while treating them, we also have to worry that these patients with Root Cause Syndrome might "bite" us.

Because they think they smell really good.

"Is the treatment finished? Then let's go participate in the preliminary rounds of the Suleda Grand Competition, Luo!" After sitting quietly for a long time, Xiao Shi immediately became excited upon hearing Chen Luo's words.

"Hmm, what's that?"

"It was a preliminary selection event, a talent show that was opened to warm up the grand ceremony before the main event. It was held during the 'Moment of Hot Sand,' and whoever won first place would win the title of superstar of the event," Xiao Shi said.

“Oh, if you’re talking about that event, it seems Eden and Alicia went as a team. If you’re confident you can beat them as a team, then go ahead, I won’t stop you. But don’t take me with you,” Chen Luo said.

"Ah, Eden and Alicia? They're participating too, so who won?" Xiao Shi was completely deflated after hearing Chen Luo's words.

Xiao Shi does indeed believe that the Herrscher of Knowledge is the cutest in the world, but if Xiao Shi is not allowed to use the Herrscher of Knowledge's powers in the Pinocchio Dream, then the title of Grand Event Superstar will definitely not fall on anyone other than Eden.

Xiao Shi suspected that even if the robin himself went, it wouldn't work.

This is not a doubt about one's own abilities, but an acknowledgment of Eden, the artistic superstar.

And then there's Ellie... what a hellish start!

"Even though we can't participate, we can still cheer him on. Come on, I've already asked Old Gu to prepare the props for us." After a moment of disappointment, Xiao Shi grabbed Chen Luo's wrist.

"Hmm, support props? When did you prepare them?"

"Originally, I asked the old antique to prepare props to cheer us on..." Xiao Shi scratched his head.

"Let's go then." Chen Luo glanced at Yakumo Yukari and the others, who had been cured of their Root Syndrome but were still slumped in their seats, and then nodded.

However, as soon as Chen Luo returned to Pinocchio, he heard the world consciousness searching for him.

"Chen Luo, I heard some news from your teacher, do you want to hear it... Hmm? Bro, you smell so good."

"???"

Chapter 2242? You want me to compete in singing with Eden? Really?

"Chen Luo, I heard some news from your teacher, do you want to hear it... Hmm? Bro, you smell so good."

Chen Luo instinctively hugged his arms.

World consciousness, do you want to listen to what you're saying?

"Ahem, what I mean is, you seem to have a peculiar smell about you," the World Consciousness tried to explain.

“You don’t need to explain. I just went to the Root and spent some time there as the world consciousness,” Chen Luo said.

Although humanity has its limitations, Chen Luo's world consciousness only covers the solar system, but even just Earth is considered a world to humanity.

A complete ecosystem, endless desires; every moment brings forth new desires, some are fulfilled, and some are shattered.

The world is a small ocean of dimensions, and Earth is a small world.

Although Chen Luo's disappearance in the bar was not for very long, he had spent nearly ten thousand years in the Vortex of Origin.

Therefore, Chen Luo's soul was naturally imbued with some of the world's essence.

In a sense, worlds can devour each other, but only the source of the world can be devoured. If the volume of the other is also devoured, it will only bring harm to the world.

Because Chen Luo was "assimilated" by the original consciousness of the Vortex of Origin, he also absorbed the flavor of the world, which is why it's normal for the world's consciousness to drool.

"Being the world consciousness? That's quite an experience. But how long have you been the world consciousness? Why do you seem to have aged so much, yet your soul remains so young?" The world consciousness seemed somewhat puzzled.

"It's marinated well..." Chen Luo's expression turned somewhat strange.

Chen Luo even felt that the world consciousness was cursing him, but he had no evidence.

"What I mean by 'well-marinated' is that your aura of the world is so strong that it makes one want to take a bite," the World Consciousness explained.

Just like the monsters and Tang Sanzang, the monsters would come running as soon as they heard that Tang Sanzang was coming and smelled him.

"My soul is young because of the Seed of Transcendence... Ah, what the hell!" After saying this, Chen Luo glanced at the Seed of Transcendence in his backpack and found that there was a crack in the Seed of Transcendence.

Gan!

Will the Seed of Transcendence break?

However, according to Chen Luo's perception, the Transcendent Seed is currently in an excellent state.

Is this... a normal phenomenon?

Unfortunately, there are very few records about the Seed of Transcendence in the Ancient Tree of Wisdom, since no transcendent being would allow the Ancient Tree of Wisdom to reveal their secrets. But it's good that we can confirm the Seed of Transcendence hasn't met with any mishaps.

However... the colorful, syrup-like substance flowing from the crack in the Seed of Transcendence looks quite delicious.

He wanted to lick it, but Chen Luo wasn't quite brave enough.

"What's wrong?" World Consciousness urgently expressed its concern.

Chen Luo can't get into trouble. He's already taken so much advantage of my world. Even though he gave me something of equal value, if he really becomes a transcendent being, my world consciousness will definitely get even more benefits.

Is there a more satisfying job than being an angel investor who helps those who haven't yet transcended the cycle of life?

No.

The sheer joy of that angel investor who landed two successful investments is something no one else in the world can even imagine.

You can lie at home doing nothing and still have a continuous supply of the world's resources delivered to your door as dividends.

It was precisely because the source was too abundant that the Type-Moon world had a few loopholes due to its excessive size, which greatly improved the problem of having many transmigrators in its world.

The Moon World is now impregnable; no transmigrator can possibly break in.

The consciousness of the Honkai world even suspected that the source earned more money in a month than it did in one reincarnation.

This is also why the consciousness of the Honkai world helped Chen Luo get information from the puppeteer.

"Don't worry, it's nothing serious. By the way, what were you about to say? Did you get some information from my teacher?"

Chen Luo had arrived at the hot sands and sat in the audience with Xiao Shi to cheer on Alicia and Eden on stage. However, Chen Luo did not forget his main task.

Unfortunately, Eden performed on stage, but Robin, Eden's only fan in the other world, was not present.

As for Alicia... she'll just be in charge of setting the mood for Eden.

Eden sometimes reminisces about the days when he stood on the stage. However, his participation in this grand event as the Star of the Event was purely out of Alicia's interest.

Eden continued to dote on Lily as always.

"When I was talking to your teacher today, I learned from her that she took the doll representing the Root from the stage model and gave it to you because that's how the Root doll was originally intended. Perhaps within your teacher's expectations, the Root taking its own doll was part of the plan. Perhaps you can focus more on what you've gained this time," the World Consciousness said.

"Of course, it's possible that my telling you this was also within the puppeteer's calculations—no, it should be said that it was definitely within their calculations. However, it's just a trial, and the puppeteer probably wouldn't do anything that's within my calculations or what you predicted," the World Consciousness continued.

If a puppeteer were to come to this world as an ordinary person, then all the information one learns from the puppeteer could be misleading. However, if it's just for training, the process wouldn't be so strict.

"Emmm..." Chen Luo's thoughts were in disarray.

Perhaps the puppeteer created the doll of the Root so that the Root could take him along to play mahjong in the vortex of the Root?

So what did I gain from this journey through the Vortex of Origin?

Was it the discovery of the Heavenly Mechanism that made Chen Luo realize the feeling of being powerless even with the power of desire, increasing his understanding of desire and nearly ten thousand years of experience, or... the cracking of the Seed of Transcendence?

This is even more of a headache!

Those who play tactics have dirty minds.

If you want to figure out what someone with 800 cunning schemes is thinking, you might as well just go and try to be reckless yourself.

"It seems you're somewhat confused. I can't help you any further. This test ends here," said the World Consciousness.

What the puppeteer wants to reveal will naturally be revealed in a conversation, and what the puppeteer doesn't want to reveal, the world consciousness can't get out of it no matter how hard it tries.

Besides, even the world's consciousness wouldn't dare.

Moreover, just knowing one piece of information has already made Chen Luo use up so many brain cells. If he had any more information, Chen Luo might give up thinking altogether.

“That’s enough,” Chen Luo nodded.

Chen Luo then turned his attention to the stage.

The Sullivan Grand Audition event is divided into two modes: "literary" and "action".

Chen Luo felt that if Alicia and Eden chose the action scenes, they might pass the test faster, but the two seemed to have other plans.

Although the so-called audience seats were quite far from the stage, Alicia and the others seemed to sense Chen Luo and the others' cheers and waved to them.

Alicia seemed to be very happy.

Especially seeing Eden standing on the stage.
