Their commission was suspicious.

"Do you believe these people pose no threat to you?"

"That's part of the reason," Chen Luo nodded.

"Do you think it's perfectly normal for the highest-level plane guards to invade other planes, so it's also normal for them to hunt you down?" Yukari Yakumo continued to ask.

"I have some thoughts on that."

"Is it because you're now powerful enough to easily flatten the Spiritual Realm and the Abyss Realm, or to force peace between the two realms? And because you've been communicating too much with the world's consciousness. Considering this is the world's ecosystem, is it inconvenient to interfere too much?" Yukari Yakumo asked again.

Of course, Chen Luo leaving his real name in the Abyss Plane was actually the greatest help and warning.

Chen Luo's Healing Cocoon and the Paradise Adventurers were of great help to the Spiritual Realm. However, they did not exceed the "rules" of that world.

"..."

"Have you gradually shifted your perspective from that of a single being to that of the world? Or even to a much larger one? And therefore do you feel the need to be more rational?"

"..."

"And your Wish Star God and Wish Destiny, even the larger Wish Destiny that you will build after your transcendence, covering the entire dimensional sea... Is its construction based on your belief that the world truly needs more Wish Walkers to erase more injustices, or on your belief that as a transcendent being, you need to shoulder more responsibility, and therefore intend to take this path?"

"..."

Chen Luo was thinking.

"Come on, Chen Luo, listen to my advice. You're not the world consciousness, so why should you consider what the world consciousness is thinking? And how do you know that the world consciousness cares about these things? You haven't become a transcendent yet, and you still have to consider the things that a transcendent should consider. Then why haven't you transcended yet?" Yakumo Yukari waved her hand.

"Although I am not a transcendent being, I know that transcendence does not mean complete detachment from the world. It means to examine the world from a third-person perspective, from the perspective of the heavens, but rather to be more free and unrestrained, just like your teacher, the puppeteer."

“You’re being far too rational right now, believing that your casual actions could bring about tremendous changes to the world, and because you’re unsure whether those changes will be good or bad, you’re holding yourself back… That’s true, but I think if you continue to detach yourself with this mindset, you’ll end up detached in vain. Not only will you not detach yourself, you’ll be trapped in an even bigger cocoon.”

"This Abyss Plane event is just a trigger. The key is not how you deal with them, but that your thinking seems to be flawed."

“We learned a bit about things from our previous conversations with Genyuan, and we made some guesses. For example, your parents might be transcendent beings who wished for a child, and you came into being. Or your parents might have a good relationship with transcendent beings, so they obtained some of the wishes of sentient beings, wished for a child, and you were born. Your birth may have been influenced by the wishes of sentient beings, which is why you have your talent, but... you are not the wishes of sentient beings.”

"..." Chen Luo remained silent.

"Perhaps your exceptional talent has caused you to grow stronger too quickly, leaving you feeling overwhelmed and needing to restrain yourself... That's understandable, it's a good thing. It means your rationality hasn't collapsed and your mindset hasn't become unbalanced. But didn't you also grow by grabbing every lollipop and completing every mission?"

"Has your talent ever directly given you anything? Has it directly made you an unparalleled powerhouse?"

"Since there isn't one, there's no need to feel that you can't do whatever you want just because you're too privileged."

"You think you're exceptionally gifted, but I'm still the only youkai in the world born with the power of boundary. Have I put a lot of pressure on myself?" Yakumo Yukari crossed her arms.

Who isn't unique in the world?

Every single person is a unique being in this world!

Although there's now another Halloween Queen who can freely use the power of realms, that's not important.

"Heaven knows that someone would feel indebted to their talent because they think they've become too strong too fast... Chen Luo, Chen Luo, you really are the most unique oddball I've ever seen." By the end, Yukari Yakumo's words had turned into a sarcastic remark.

"Actually... it's not so much a sense of indebtedness, it's just that I feel I became stronger too easily. Unlike those who became stronger through their own hard work," Chen Luo said after being teased by Yakumo Yukari for most of the day.

“Simple my foot! I was one of your first customers after you opened Zero Point Bar. To be honest, the past few months have felt more tiring than my entire life,” Yukari Yakumo said.

"And you don't think that because the other person's cultivation is difficult, yours is easy, do you? Honestly, I should have noticed this a long time ago... If I were as fast at getting stronger as you, I would have started 'I don't eat beef' two months ago. Unlike you, who can kill a True God with one slap and is still here fighting over a little girl's lollipop for five Primal Stones." Yakumo Yukari sighed.

"I don't rob anymore," Chen Luo argued.

"Then why did you take Huang Quan to steal a little girl's lollipop a few days ago?" Yakumo Yukari glanced at Chen Luo.

“…The root cause!” Chen Luo gritted his teeth, instantly realizing how the news had spread.

Aside from the little girl who was raped and her mother, there are only three people involved in this incident.

Chen Luo wouldn't tell anyone, and Huang Quan wasn't the type to speak freely, so all that was left was to film the source of the incident from the sidelines for a whole day!

The root of this despicable act has damaged my reputation!

"Huh? Who called me?" Genyuan, who appeared next to Chen Luo after being triggered by the keyword, tilted his head.

As soon as the source appeared, Chen Luo grabbed the source's head, then raised his index fingers and began drilling into the source's temples.

"What are you doing?" The source of the attack, who had just emerged, tried to struggle.

That unfilial son Chen Luo actually used the Primal Stone, which meant that even in its holographic projection state, Root could still get beaten up. Moreover, because they were in contact, Root couldn't run away.

"Dear Auntie, can you explain why it's become common knowledge that I stole the little girl's lollipop?" Chen Luo asked very gently.

"...Let go first, I can explain." Genyuan was already at his wit's end.

Chen Luo definitely learned this from his mother; he's become extremely familiar with this method of punishment.

"..." After a while, Chen Luo released the hand that was punishing the source, and the source disappeared as soon as it breathed a sigh of relief.

Explain? Explain what? What is there to explain?

My dear nephew, it's your aunt who betrayed you again!

After the source left, Yakumo Yukari walked up to Chen Luo with a smile and extended her hand.

"Let me introduce myself again, I am the Sage of Youkai, Yukari Yakumo." Yukari Yakumo especially emphasized the word "Sage".

Is it because I, Yakumo Yukari, am usually too lazy that you have misunderstood me?

I'm a genius when it comes to strategy, okay?

What does it mean to be shrewd and experienced with age... what does it mean to be exceptionally gifted?!

"Shall we give you an award?" Chen Luo asked, holding Yakumo Yukari's hand.

"No need for an award, but we still need the 18,000 or 20,000 merit points," Yukari Yakumo said bluntly.

“I really didn’t expect you to be so insightful. I think what you reported this time wasn’t the kill order, but myself. Don’t worry, you still have merit, but give me some time to think about it,” Chen Luo said.

"Don't worry, there's plenty of time," Yukari Yakumo said with a smile.

In fact, Yukari Yakumo is already quite satisfied. She openly dissed Chen Luo for a long time, and Chen Luo should thank her for that feeling, which is something that no amount of merit can buy.

"..."

Considering that what Yukari Yakumo just said was indeed true, Chen Luo decided to just ignore it this once and pretend he didn't "see" it.

"In any case, there will definitely be a reward, but I only realized now how wise you are, Yakumo Yukari," Chen Luo said.

"You're too kind. I've always been wise," Yukari Yakumo said without any politeness.

Hmm, wait a minute, why does this sound like an insult?

Actually, it wasn't entirely a coincidence that Yukari Yakumo noticed Chen Luo's unusual behavior; it was mainly Chen Luo who inspired her.

Or perhaps, Yukari Yakumo was simply frightened by Chen Luo.

As Yukari Yakumo said, she watched Chen Luo grow up, but in reality, it was only for 4 months.

For Yukari Yakumo, four months had passed in the blink of an eye, sometimes even shorter than the time it took her to sleep. So Yukari didn't feel anything was unexpected or abrupt.

Just as Chen Luo invited everyone to Pinocchio for a trip, Yakumo Yukari witnessed how Chen Luo invited Dream Master, Sunday, and others into his scheme through various coincidences and designs, and how he eventually used various coincidences to open up his wish path and become a Star God through the special nature of the Dream Land and the Star Gods.

Did Chen Luo demonstrate significant power during this process? He did, but not very obviously. He mostly used his ability to foresee the future to go with the flow and act accordingly.

Until today, when Yakumo Yukari saw Chen Luo eliminate a true god of the same level as Xiao Jiu, the Heavenly Emperor, as easily as swatting a fly, she suddenly realized what was going on.

Just a few days ago he was stealing lollipops from little girls, and now he's beating up gods like it's nothing?

Holy crap, Chen Luo is already this strong?

Even if a person swats a fly, they still need a fly swatter. Chen Luo simply gathered the True God together and then punched him to pieces.

Chen Luo didn't even leave his house; he just fiddled with the map for a bit!

The power of a Star God and a True God is not comparable. In the Collapsed World, a True God cannot defeat a Star God, and in the Endless Dimensional World (Chen Luo's main world), a Star God cannot defeat a True God.

But judging from how relaxed Chen Luo is, whether it's a Star God or a True God, they're probably all the same in front of him, right?

I go!

If Yukari Yakumo were that strong, she would have stopped eating beef long ago.

So after thinking about it for a moment, Yakumo Yukari realized that Chen Luo's attitude had hardly changed from their first meeting to now, when he casually punched and destroyed nine True Gods. At most, Chen Luo had become a little lazier and could no longer look down on Vita, who only had 20 Primogems. Other than that, nothing had changed.

But that's the biggest anomaly.

Yukari Yakumo has lived in the Gensokyo world long enough and is strong enough that she has witnessed enough weak people gain power and become arrogant...

On the first day, he became a guardian; on the second day, he became arrogant and domineering; on the third day, he became a Homelander; and on the fourth day, he became an Ancestor.

Not to mention these examples, even when Yukari Yakumo was using the method of throwing money to exchange for the power of wishes by holding a cut gold nugget, she could clearly sense the change in the other party's mentality.

But Chen Luo is different. Chen Luo really did snatch the little girl's lollipop, transforming himself from an ordinary person into a transcendent being.

Self-discipline is good, but excessive self-discipline is problematic.

I really don't know whether to say Chen Luo has a good temper or that he has strict family discipline.

Chen Luo is not being bullied or mistreated now. Yakumo Yukari is worried that Chen Luo's self-discipline will lead him to take on responsibilities that are not rightfully his once he becomes a transcendent being.

Anyway, if we replace her with Yukari Yakumo, she can wipe out at least half of the population of the Abyss Plane today.

Just like how Yakumo Yukari once ostensibly planned a lunar war to seize the Lunar Capital as a base for youkai, but in reality, she wanted to bury all the youkai who might oppose the establishment of Gensokyo in the Lunar Capital.

[The problem is that moral standards are too high. A true god only needs to obediently wait to be killed, but Chen Luo has many more things to consider.]

[Honestly, if you ask me, boss, you could try slapping those radicals a few more times and see if your moral compass reacts. If it doesn't, it means your moral standards are still above average, and originally they were too high. If it does react, it doesn't matter if the moral compass goes down, since you won't need it anymore anyway.]

From an objective standpoint, those radical demigods, in order to become stronger, invaded other planes and committed a great deal of bloodshed. If all 10 out of 10 demigods were killed, there might indeed be some innocent ones, but if 9 out of 10 were killed, there would definitely be some who escaped.

"Aren't these bastards just bullying honest people?" the humanized plugin thought for a moment and said.

When those radicals invaded other planes, they slaughtered all the living beings in the entire plane and made the most of everything. This time, they ran into a brick wall and were killed in return. It's too lenient for them to only lose a few true gods.

"Okay, calm down."

[I'm quite calm; after all, I'm just a plugin. So, shall we go? And while we're at it, let's straighten out the atmosphere in the Abyss Dimension.]

In truth, if we're just talking about the facts, Chen Luo didn't need to waste time going again. Even if he hadn't become a Transcendent, even if all the True Gods in the entire Abyss Plane were multiplied a hundredfold, they still couldn't defeat him. Moreover, the vast majority of the radical factions have already been scorched by the Soul Fire, filtering out the truly vicious and wicked, who will face their own retribution.

Chen Luo did nothing wrong.

However, this is not enough if we only consider it from a personal perspective. Chen Luo was born in a spiritual plane, so there is absolutely no need for him to show mercy to those radicals.

Even from the perspective of eradicating evil completely, it's not enough, because some radical demigods escaped because they were invading other planes. Furthermore, some red dots were overlooked because they were too remote, surrounded by numerous green and white dots.

"Let's talk about it tonight. I plan to see first whether a person's mindset will undergo a huge change if they suddenly gain power," Chen Luo said.

Chen Luo was also considering whether he was being too rational, as Yakumo Yukari and the humanization plugin had suggested.

"Xiao Qi, do you also think I'm very rational?" Chen Luo turned to Bai Qiqi, who didn't fully know about his upbringing, and asked.

“If I had to say, Chen Luo, you don’t seem to have changed much from a few years ago. Also, you’ve been much lighter. Of course, it could be that the abyss plane is too malevolent, but battles between true gods usually don’t end with the fall of the true god, but rather with the elimination of all their followers and believers,” Bai Qiqi said.

As an abyss plane that uses the method of invading other planes to support a number of true god-level beings that are slightly more numerous than the spiritual planes, it is perfectly normal for it to slaughter the entire pantheon of the other side, including its believers, at the drop of a hat.

"That's true, but I'm still quite satisfied with my destiny..." Chen Luo said, stroking his chin.

Dissatisfied, Chen Luo was unable to forge a path to his desired destiny.

Chen Luo felt that he was somewhat similar to the Sea Patrol Knights, both advocating that personal actions should uphold the kindness and justice of the universe.

Chen Luo also agreed with Potio's point of view—it was time to let those cowards, parasites, and oppressors and their "sea patrolmen" be remembered.

"What's there to be conflicted about? If you want it, just go for it. I never said it was wrong for you to create your own path of desire. I just wanted to tell you... you are free to do what you want, without having to do what you *have* to do. Because no one can dictate what you *must* do." Yukari Yakumo said lazily, reclining in her chair.

"The truth of the universe is just like this: the freedom of the noble is not about doing whatever you want, but about not doing what you don't want to do. Isn't that right?"

Yukari Yakumo remembered that this was something Kant said: Freedom is not about doing whatever you want, but about not doing what you don't want to do.

Of course, Yakumo Yukari is not a noble person, so she can do whatever she wants.

Furthermore, Yukari Yakumo only heard the Root say that if a Transcendent is too evil, they might be targeted and killed, but she never heard the Root say that a Transcendent who "doesn't do anything" would also be targeted and killed.

The consciousness of the dimensional sea doesn't care what you do, so why are you making work for yourself?

After all... even the consciousness of the Dimensional Sea has been laid down, hasn't it?

“Ultimately, whether or not to clean up the Abyss Plane again isn’t the important issue. Even if they had a hundred more lives, they probably wouldn’t dare step into the Spiritual Plane again. The key point is, Chen Luo, what are your thoughts on whether you have enough freedom? Think it through and then do it. You are the Wish Goddess, so ‘willing’ is also ‘desire,’ you know,” Yakumo Yukari said.

Having received so much help from Chen Luo, and after the Golden Gensokyo was materialized and made into its own world, so that she no longer had to worry about it, Yukari Yakumo was completely liberated.

So Yukari Yakumo thought she should also let Chen Luo be freed.

As for the Abyss Plane used as an example? Who cares?

Chen Luo might slack off, but he won't indiscriminately kill innocent people... In other words, those who suffer misfortune in Chen Luo's hands deserve their misfortune.

Yeah, Merlin did the same last night. Who told him to send out mass scam text messages to tourists in Pinocchio yesterday, saying things like, "I'm the Wish God, give me 50, and I'll make you a Wish Messenger tomorrow."
