Their commission was suspicious.

May the Mother Goddess close her eyes thrice for you.

"May your blood flow forever."

"Always face the journey with equanimity."

"...the trick will never be exposed."

This is a blessing belonging to the Evikin people.

It contains their beautiful expectations.

The past and future of placer gold part ways here. Waving goodbye, placer gold walks towards that black hole that resembles an abyss.

A tremendous tearing sound rang out.

Walking towards the void of gold dust, I looked up and saw light other than black.

Upon first seeing that incredibly real and awe-inspiring existence, even the soon-to-disappear gold dust was momentarily stunned.

Upon seeing the Guardian Star God, Sand Gold immediately thought of Chen Luo's promise—to allow him to meet the Guardian Star God.

"I never expected to use this opportunity. But... this really is the best farewell gift." Sand Gold shook his head, both amused and exasperated.

"I'll place the bet. I'll gamble. I'll win. I'll let fate turn the wheel, go all in, and rise from the ashes!"

"All is dedicated to—the King of Amber."

The gold dust, about to enter nothingness and dissipate into the shallow dream realm, expresses its respect to the guardian star god with proper etiquette.

Storage...

This is the path a man whose life has been full of hardships ultimately chose after rejecting the invitation to the pleasure-filled "tavern".

Although what he wanted to protect... has all disappeared.

"By the way... please convey my thanks to Chen Luo. This is truly a generous gift. Hmm, it's also a valuable experience. Worth it." Sand Gold's body transformed into light and dissipated into the void.

Chapter 2252 The Pleasure Star God's Backup Plan - The New Pleasure Star God: Fireworks!

The Guardian Star God has departed.

After helping Chen Luo with a small favor, he decisively left, because the Star God of Preservation still had to busy himself with building the wall.

As for that being named Sand Gold... although the Star God of Preservation did not know him, he brought him along as instructed.

As for Toppa, after a brief exchange with the senior executives of the Interstellar Peace Corporation, he decisively chose to give up the idea of ​​continuing to chat with the Star God of Preservation, because they simply couldn't connect on a deeper level.

Aside from building walls, the Star God of Preservation is interested in almost nothing else.

Surprisingly, however, the Star God of Preservation seems to have never paid attention to the Star God of Reproduction...

It's unclear whether Chen Luo received a verbal warning, as no one could understand the conversation between Chen Luo and the Star God of Preservation.

“Perhaps… this opportunity is being wasted for placer gold?” Topa remarked with a sense of loss.

If it were up to the gold mine owners to make their own choices, with proper preparation and a chance to meet with the guardian deity, they might be able to unlock even greater profits from gold mining.

When Toppa sensed the disappearance of the aventurine's light, he knew its fate.

"Who knows? Maybe it's because I prefer this ending. After all, Sand Gold didn't say when he would meet the Guardian Star God. So of course I can only decide for myself. As long as I'm happy... right?"

"..." by Topa

Indeed, as long as Chen Luo is happy.

Moreover, for Wujin, this abrupt meeting and farewell may have a deeper meaning.

"Chen Luo, I've been assigned by the Interstellar Peace Company to ask you some questions here, to conduct an interview," Topa asked after a moment's hesitation.

"Will you pay an appearance fee?"

“…Here you go.” Topa nodded.

"How many?"

"1 million credit points?"

[Ding! You have a new request!]

"Giving so little really shows a lack of sincerity, but oh well, I'll ask you since we've known each other for a while. But I might not be able to answer your question," Chen Luo said.

"How did you summon the Star God?" This was a question Toppa asked, and one that many people interested in the Star God were curious about.

"He was probably drawn here by the great battle here. To be fair, a great battle between two Star Gods and the fall of one Star God would naturally attract the attention of all the Star Gods. It's just that only Cunhu came."

"Why is there only one Guardian Star God?" Topa asked curiously.

"How would I know, you ask me? Maybe the other Star Gods aren't interested in what's happening here, or maybe the Star God of Preservation has his eye on the building materials I placed under the stage. Hmm, I think it's more like the latter," Chen Luo said.

"Do you sell this wall-building material?" Topa asked eagerly.

"Not for sale."

“Interstellar Peace Corporation can offer a high price,” Topa said after considering it for a moment.

In fact, the instructions given by one of the high-ranking officials on the other end of Toppa's headset were not like that. The original words were that the Interstellar Peace Corporation could offer a large sum of money, and all of this was to provide Lord Amber with enough building materials to prevent foreign invasion.

Because the statement clearly implied moral blackmail, Topa didn't say it.

You're not the one directly confronting the Star God of Procreation, so you can just use moral blackmail, right?

Since that wasn't his personal boss, Topa wasn't worried about being demoted.

Demotion is better than being antagonized by the Star God of Breeding.

This is a public place. If we try to morally blackmail someone in public, even if we have a good relationship, they might still "remember" it. Besides, our relationship isn't that good enough that we can discuss anything freely.

The person who said that is truly despicable.

"You think you can buy something like this with money? I'm not interested at all." Chen Luo shook his head.

There are only two ways to exchange for Chen Luo's raw stone.

One method is to post a commission with a large number of raw stones in exchange for a small number of raw stones, which would make Chen Luo a huge profit.

One is world-class materials, or something that can help Chen Luo transcend.

One is the origin of the world.

There's no room for negotiation.

It's just that the people in this world don't know how valuable Paradise Gold Coins are, otherwise Chen Luo could have bought the entire Interstellar Peace Company with the Paradise Gold Coins that a Paradise adventurer earns in a month.

This is why most of the Paradise Coins that Paradise Adventurers acquire in this world are spent in the Dimensional Sea.

In this world... unless there is a need to complete a mission or fulfill a wish, one might occasionally exchange a few Paradise Gold Coins for the adventurers' own living expenses.

"Alright then... May I ask what your opinion is on your pet? Or rather, is this really your pet, and what do you plan to do with this Breeding Star God in the future?" Topa finally brought up the topic of the Breeding Star God.

This is not because the Interstellar Peace Company does not value the breeding of Star Gods enough, or rather, it is because it values ​​it too much that it dares not ask at the beginning, but wants to test Chen Luo's attitude first.

If the interview were conducted in private, there wouldn't be so many roundabout ways, but this is a super-large live broadcast room in front of hundreds of billions of people.

As the Interstellar Peace Company finally got to the point, the number of viewers in the live stream increased rapidly.

The Propagation Star God... to put it bluntly, if the Propagation Star God were to unleash another global locust plague, with the help of Chen Luo, whose combat power is comparable to that of a Star God, they might actually be able to spread the flames of war throughout the entire universe.

At that time, at least half of the hundreds of billions of viewers in the live broadcast room will die for this reason.

"You want to ask about this bug? It's not really a pet, since I don't have a pet that ugly. It's more like a utility bug, since it can't turn into a beautiful girl," Chen Luo said, resting his chin on his hand.

"..."

I go!

Beautiful girl?

For a moment, countless viewers in the live stream were unsure whether they were the ones who had gone mad or Chen Luo had gone mad.

What do you want to do?

But thinking about it carefully, if one could become a beautiful girl, it doesn't seem impossible to be a star goddess of reproduction.

Or perhaps it's a bit too good.

"As for the next steps, and what we'll do with this Breeding Star God... maybe we'll use it to target the Destruction Star God, after all, that Destruction Star God isn't exactly a saint either," Chen Luo said.

"As you can probably see, the Paradise Coins obtained by Paradise Adventurers are essentially special energy obtained by terminating the life of certain creatures. However, I am more inclined towards order, so I feel bad about taking action against ordinary people, but I have no qualms about taking action against the Antimatter Legion."

“But then another problem arises: what if Nanuk retaliates against me if I kill too many members of the antimatter legion? So I created the Star God of Breeding to prevent Nanuk from getting angry. This is a literal self-defense counterattack,” Chen Luo said.

"So you mean you resurrected the Propagation Star God to prevent the Preservation Star God Nanuk from attacking you because of the massive deaths of the Antimatter Legion? Then will you use the Propagation Star God to actively attack the Destruction Star God?" Topa asked.

"Not at the moment. And I won't use the power of the Propagation Star God to attack those antimatter legions and star cores that are scattered throughout the myriad worlds. Although the Propagation Star God can now devour anything under my modifications, including star cores, the problem is that if the Propagation Star God creates countless swarms of insects, I will be the first one to be beaten by the Star God and cursed by countless living beings, not the Destruction Star God." Chen Luo shook his head.

The Destroyer Star God only destroys life on a planet, while the swarm that breeds the Star God devours even the planet itself. This is why the global locust plague provoked the actions of countless Star Gods, but the Destroyer Star God Nanuk's antimatter army, despite its notorious reputation, was not besieged by any Star Gods.

Of course, for ordinary people, there is actually no difference between the two.

If Chen Luo uses the Star God of Breeding to create a swarm of insects, no one will think that Chen Luo is creating the swarm only to deal with the antimatter legion. Instead, they will worry that after Chen Luo solves the problem of the Star God of Destruction, he will cause a global locust plague.

The once-powerful Star Gods inflicted far too much disaster on this universe. And it's not uncommon for dragon slayers to become dragons themselves.

Moreover, the Paradise Adventurers are now dealing with the Antimatter Legion just as quickly as the Zerg Swarm.

In a sense, the Paradise Adventurers are a superior swarm of insects.

Moreover, its reputation is better.

Furthermore, Paradise Adventurers gain some wish power and Paradise Coins when saving the world, making them a better solution to the Antimatter Legion than the Zerg Swarm.

"So you're saying you created the Star Gods for self-preservation, right?"

"More or less," Chen Luo nodded.

After all, when they participated in the Star God War later, none of them had a Star God-level pet, and they had no power to protect themselves... at least in the eyes of others.

Scams aren't about what you can actually do, but about what others think you can do.

Moreover, precisely because Chen Luo is lying to countless viewers, the elements of his lies are constantly increasing.

However, it's not something you get immediately; it accumulates, just like in the previous civilization. It saves up for you first, but you can get it anytime you want.

However, few people believe lies that lack any technical sophistication, and the elements of such lies are few and far between.

The humanized plugin looked at the insignificant element of lies it had just acquired in the drama of the death of the Star God and said.

Chen Luo's lie just now was far too flimsy.

But... it's all free anyway.

Getting something for free is still pretty appealing.

"Um... Mr. Chen Luo, at the invitation of the many viewers of the live broadcast, would you be willing to take questions from the audience?" Topa asked after hesitating for a moment.

Although Chen Luo and Topa are fairly familiar with each other in private, this is only on the interview program.

"Beg me."

"Ahem, if you can accept these questions, I would be very grateful." Toppa was used to Chen Luo's routine.

Chen Luo seems to enjoy fulfilling people's wishes, a conclusion drawn by the Interstellar Peace Company after collecting some information about him.

Moreover, Chen Luo had said something similar to Toppa before, but he certainly couldn't ask for it directly in an interview, so he had to be more tactful.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

"Okay." Chen Luo nodded.

[Ding! Mission complete!]

Considering that obtaining the raw stones and deceiving the audience would yield elements of lies, and that it would also serve as publicity for the amusement park, Chen Luo agreed to this wish.

“Okay, our first question is… If you were only trying to protect yourself, why did you kill the Star God of Joy?” Toppa asked, picking out a comment from the live stream.

This is actually what Topa and the Interstellar Peace Company behind him wanted to ask, but the problem is that Chen Luo seems to really have the ability to beat you up through the internet, so the Interstellar Peace Company dared not ask directly, for fear that Chen Luo would use that Hunting Power with that Elf Bow to shoot them.

With the God of Pleasure dead, the company headquarters, Pierpoint, might not be able to withstand that arrow—no, it certainly wouldn't.

Although the probability of Chen Luo doing this is very low, it is not impossible. Therefore, the staff of Interstellar Peace Company picked a question from the barrage that was most similar to the question they wanted to ask.

This isn't a shill; someone genuinely is curious about this.

"Because I also want to become a Star God. After all, there's a difference between someone else becoming a Star God and someone else becoming a Star God," Chen Luo said.

"Then why don't you become the God of Procreation?" To asked.
