Their commission was suspicious.

Furthermore, since the Investiture of the Gods does not involve the influence of thought, theoretically speaking, it is possible for people to do evil after obtaining the power bestowed by the Investiture of the Gods.

Chen Luo was too lazy to test human nature, and even more too lazy to use the Investiture of the Gods to set rules for others to work, because as long as there are rules, there will be loopholes. Therefore, Chen Luo only granted the Investiture of the Gods to those he recognized and knew.

As for giving strangers temporary positions on the Investiture of the Gods list... such positions offer no benefits other than the ability to be resurrected on the Investiture of the Gods list repeatedly. It would be better to become an adventurer in the Paradise.

With the Wish Walker path available to Paradise Adventurers, becoming a Paradise Adventurer temporarily is a very good way for ordinary people who died in the previous civilization to transform themselves.

"Speaking of which, waking up to find that 5 years have passed in the world, and everything has changed so much, it feels like a dream," Hen sighed.

"And then you find out you have a daughter who's over 5 years older than you?" Chen Luo asked.

"...Gresh is my daughter, okay? What do you mean by 'one more'? You should say there's only one," Hen corrected.

“Oh, there’s only one? Then choose one of the two, and the rest is mine.” Chen Luo pointed to Gretchen and little Gretchen, who were drawing together.

"Ahem, what I mean is... wait, what did you just say? Chen Luo, you brat... Gretchen is still a child. You want to take advantage of a young girl?" Hen frowned.

"???" Chen Luo looked at Hen with a completely bewildered expression.

"Please get one thing straight, I'm the one who's the young and inexperienced one," Chen Luo reminded him.

"..."

"What are you two talking about?" At this point, Gretchen Grande could no longer pretend not to hear.

“Alright, alright, let the children handle their own affairs. But it’s a good thing to see Gretchen again today. You’re allowed to drink, but no more than three drinks,” Blanca said to Hen.

"Three cups? You don't need any specific size cups, right?"

"..." Blanca just stared at Hen quietly until Hen felt guilty.

"Speaking of which, what about Desdobia? Didn't she just come back to life? How come she's disappeared?" Hen ordered a drink and then changed the subject.

"What do you think? Of course, we should go to Paradise to find Kosmo." Blanca couldn't understand how such a sentence could come out of Hen's mouth.

Normally, the people responsible for taking care of Gretchen in the Land of the Dead are Kosmo or Aponia, but because Desdobia returned today, little Gretchen was taken to the bar by Kosmo and handed over to big Gretchen to take care of.

Guess what Daisy Dobby went to do?

"jingle!"

The wind chimes rang.

"Mr. Chen Luo, have you found the item that can reverse my condition?" Simmel pushed open the door and asked Chen Luo.

"Oh, it's Simmel." Seeing Simmel's expectant expression, Chen Luo sighed inwardly.

The world consciousness of the Simmel world seems to have a particular fondness for watching amusement. Therefore, when Chen Luo gave the summoning talisman to Frilian and asked her to summon her deceased comrades, Simmel was indeed summoned, but it was a female version of Simmel.

However, the fact that the world's consciousness allowed Simmel to be summoned by the Summoning Ticket was already a lenient gesture, so Simmel would just have to suffer for a few days.

"So what was the result?" Simmel asked.

“Actually, I feel that you’re doing alright. Do you really want to go back to your old self?” Chen Luo said.

“This is no good at all; the fat on my chest will slow down my sword-drawing speed,” Simmel complained.

As a warrior, Simmel is a melee character. For melee characters, perfect control of their body is an important factor in ensuring that they are not affected by unexpected factors during combat.

Moreover, it hasn't been too long since Simmel passed away, and when Simmel travels with Frilian, she occasionally sees her own statue.

Meanwhile, Frilian was accompanied by two apprentices left behind by Simmel's former comrades... Whenever Simmel sensed a slightly strange look in their eyes, Simmel felt quite a headache.

“If you like women’s clothing, Chen Luo, I might be able to help you slightly change your gender,” Yakumo Yukari suddenly said, raising her hand.

As a youkai who controls the power of boundaries, reversing the boundary between men and women is a piece of cake for Yukari Yakumo.

Especially after Yakumo Yukari underwent the enhancement of her origin, she gained a deeper understanding of the realm.

"Forget it. Crossdressing is only fun when you see it on someone else. If you dare lay a hand on me, believe me, I can make your embarrassing past spread throughout the entire Gensokyo in three seconds." Chen Luo glared at Yakumo Yukari.

"Gaze at anyone and they'll die..." This is a skill that Chen Luo has never used since acquiring it, because it's just too offensive.

Yakumo Yukari scoffed at Chen Luo's threat and then immediately surrendered.

Even though she had never seen a precedent in a bar, Yukari Yakumo didn't dare to gamble.

"..." Simmel, feeling like the joke Chen Luo was talking about, looked helpless.

When you two are discussing this, could you please keep it away from me?

"Wait a minute." Simmel suddenly felt as if she had discovered a blind spot.

"Miss Yakumo Yukari, were you joking about what you just said about turning Mr. Chen Luo into a woman and reversing his gender?" Simmel asked.

"No, what's wrong?"

"Then could you please reverse my gender, Miss Yakumo Yukari?" Simmel said hurriedly.

"What? You want to be a man for once?"

“I was originally a man, but there was a problem when Frilian summoned me with a summoning ticket,” Simmel corrected.

"Oh, a summoning talisman. That thing... you wouldn't happen to be some very famous historical figure or something, would you?" Yukari Yakumo asked.

“You guessed right.” Simmel nodded helplessly.

It seems Chen Luo wasn't lying to her after all. Summoning talismans can indeed cause gender-bending, especially for famous historical figures. Otherwise, Yukari Yakumo wouldn't have been able to guess her background without knowing her.

“If it were someone else asking me to help reverse their gender, my answer would definitely be that I wouldn’t mind helping at all. But if it’s you… oh, don’t get me wrong, I’m not targeting you, but for some reason, you seem completely unable to reverse your gender… maybe the summoning spell you’re using isn’t very proper.” Yukari Yakumo looked at Simmel with some confusion.

After Simmel presented her idea, Yukari Yakumo tried to observe Simmel from her own perspective, only to discover that she could reverse many of Simmel's levels, but not those of male and female genders.

too weird.

Yukari Yakumo sensed that this matter was not as simple as she had imagined.

"This……"

"But don't be discouraged. Just find Chen Luo. Chen Luo can do anything. If nothing unexpected happens, the summoning talisman was also given to you by Chen Luo. If there are any problems, just go to him," said Yukari Yakumo.

Simmel also looked at Chen Luo.

Chen Luo nodded in response to Simmel's plea for help.

You should have already seen all the fun in the world consciousness, so helping Simmel reverse her situation shouldn't be a problem now.

As for why even Yukari Yakumo couldn't reverse Simmel's condition, it's because the curse on Simmel is a world-class curse, and it also has the unique characteristics of another world.

Simply put, while Yukari Yakumo's current level of power is strong, she can't very well use a sword from another world to kill an official from another world.

This is no longer a matter of ability; it's a matter of the system's design.

This situation is not uncommon in the Dimensional Sea. The solution is to use power involving authority, because authority often has the final right of interpretation.

This setup is illogical, and coincidentally, authority is also illogical.

The reason the world consciousness is treating things this way is probably because Simmel knows that Chen Luo possesses the power to resolve the issue, but doesn't want Simmel and the others to handle it themselves, which is why things have become so complicated.

[Perhaps the world's consciousness intentionally sent you Primogems. After all, you only receive Primogems because Simmel has a wish, right?]

"Wait a moment, I'm going to the Dimensional Sea." Chen Luo said as he walked out from behind the bar.

"Mr. Chen Luo, are you going to get some props?" Simmel asked.

Simmel remembered Chen Luo saying that the Dimensional Sea contained all sorts of items, and that she might be able to acquire something to solve her problem.

"Okay, just a moment." Chen Luo nodded, then pushed open the bar door and floated into the dimensional sea that resembled a starry sky before closing the bar door.

Then Chen Luo took out 200 raw stones...

"Let's get a tool that can solve the Simmel problem, the cheaper the better," Chen Luo said.

[You're just buying it now, right?]

Whoosh!

A portion of the raw stone in Chen Luo's hand shattered instantly and vanished without a trace.

"Hmm, 20 Originium Stones can solve the problem, that's pretty cheap." Chen Luo counted and found that he was only 20 Originium Stones short.

Chen Luo was somewhat flattered to have bought such cheap items in the Dimensional Sea for the first time.

But upon closer inspection, 20 raw gems isn't actually that cheap.

"Ring ring!"

A sound similar to, yet entirely different from, the wind chimes of a bar rang out, and suddenly a phantom of a tree appeared in front of Chen Luo, the tree covered with... Saint Quartz?

The sacred crystals on the tree collided with each other, making a crisp sound.

Chen Luo reached out to grab it, but grasped at nothing. However, seemingly because of Chen Luo's touch, one of the holy crystals on the tree suddenly materialized and fell from the tree.

Chen Luo grasped the Holy Crystal, and the phantom of the tree slowly dissipated until it disappeared.

"...This way of delivering things is really simple and crude."

After making a remark, Chen Luo returned to the bar.

"Mr. Chen Luo..."

"Here you go." Chen Luo tossed the Holy Crystal in his hand to Simmel, who was looking on with anticipation.

"How do I use this?" Simmel examined the magnificent stone in her hand.

"Give this Holy Crystal to Frilian, then let Frilian kill you, and then use this stone to revive you."

"Ugh, do I really have to die once?"

“That’s right, because the effect of this item is to revive all our Servants and remove all their negative status effects when all our Servants are wiped out. Oh, right, did Frillian summon a second Servant? If so, remember to kill that one too.” Chen Luo asked.

“Not yet…” Simmel shook her head.

Frilian was hesitant about which one to resurrect, because many of her friends had died peacefully without regrets.

"Then I'll just kill you." Chen Luo nodded.

"This method sounds...quite violent."

"As long as it works, this is the cheapest... I mean the least strenuous method," Chen Luo said.

"...You mean the cheapest way, right? I knew Chen Luo, you're even more heartless than me!" Merlin keenly noticed Chen Luo's implication.

"Don't make false accusations. When did I say it was the cheapest way? Oh, right, Simmel, if you feel that dying is a bit painful, I can provide you with a painless way to die," Chen Luo said.

“That won’t be necessary,” Simmel shook her head.

"Hmm, so you've already decided what you're going to do?"

“Since this Holy Crystal can provide a Heroic Spirit with a chance to resurrect, I feel I can’t waste this opportunity and should do something meaningful,” Simmel said.

"for example?"

“Although I successfully defeated the Demon King, some of the Seven Sages directly under the Demon King still exist in the world and are having a great impact on it, such as the Golden City of Mahat. So I plan to go to the Golden City after Frilian finishes her Level 1 Magician certification exam. The former Southern Hero was surrounded by all Seven Sages in a battle, yet he still managed to kill three of them and perish together with the omniscient Shurahat. So I want to try whether I can use my current life to wipe out all the remaining Seven Sages and kill some of the demons who pose a great threat to humanity,” Simmel said.

In the world where Frilian lives, the demons are utterly devoid of empathy, seemingly a race that exists solely to exterminate humanity, with no possibility of peaceful coexistence whatsoever.

Therefore, even after defeating the Demon King Simmel, he will try to eradicate the remaining demons.

Kill! Kill until the blood flows like a river.

"...It's possible, but only after you die and are resurrected can the Holy Crystal remove the special state on you and allow your gender to change back. However, since you are not easy to die now, you may need to maintain this form for some time," Chen Luo reminded him.

"It doesn't matter. After all, we can't let such a precious item go to waste, can we?" Simmel said with a smile.

"Actually, it's not that precious... Give me back the Saint Quartz, and I'll give you a buff."

Simmel returned the Saint Quartz to Chen Luo, and then saw Chen Luo dip his pen in a summoned illusory river before returning three Saint Quartz to her.

“I originally thought you only needed one, but now it seems you might need more than one. In any case, the Holy Crystal is yours. When and how you plan to use it is up to you,” Chen Luo said.

Chen Luo wasn't one to bully honest people. The reason he could sit idly by and watch Simmel turn into Simmel for several days without helping him reverse his form was because the World Consciousness could make the summoning talisman work in its own world. In fact, it was already taking good care of Simmel. If the World Consciousness wanted to have some fun, Chen Luo couldn't stop it.

However, Chen Luo couldn't let the hero keep suffering because he was reluctant to use the Holy Crystal.

"Thank you," Simmel said gratefully.

Excellent! With these three Saint Quartz, Simmel is confident she can defeat the Demon King 10 more times!

While in the Moon World, some people become Servants and are summoned, which leads to a decrease in their strength, Cimmel does not have this problem. Firstly, it is because the World Consciousness is quite considerate. Although Cimmel was anthropomorphized, the Cimmel that Frillien summoned was the real Cimmel.

On the other hand, Simmel's weapon has also been greatly enhanced. Originally, the weapon Simmel used to defeat the Demon King was just a fake holy sword, but now it has become real.

The Servant system inherently possesses this advantage, allowing the merits of Heroic Spirits to be transformed into the power of the opposing force, thereby strengthening them.

As the hero who defeated the Demon King, Simmel's achievements will be remembered by everyone for at least several hundred years.

Therefore, the holy sword, which was originally a fake, can now unleash power commensurate with the hero.
