Their commission was suspicious.

"What are you saying? What kind of talk is that? If I had no conscience, would I have taken Artoria to help the Caribbean fight against the Lion King?" Merlin denied it outright.

"But wasn't it me who held a knife to your throat and forced you to go?"

"Ha, that's hilarious. Who can prove I was threatened by you back then?"

“…Me.” Anna, who had been brought to the bar by Tiamat, held up her hand.

"Women are an exception. It is common knowledge that women who have been in contact with Chen Luo for more than 10 minutes are no longer eligible to be witnesses."

"???"

Although Merlin's remarks were indeed a bit annoying, Chen Luo surprisingly didn't tie Merlin to the launcher to watch the fireworks.

However, Merlin can at least liven up the atmosphere, right?

Chen Luo sat at the bar counter, feeling that at this moment, the bar could be considered a paradise.

It was worth it for Chen Luo to work so hard for so long.

[Ding! Mission complete!]

"Huh?" Chen Luo was taken aback for a moment, then looked at the talent panel.

What task did you just complete?

【Eternal Paradise】: Create an eternal paradise where there are no disasters, no wars, and everyone can pursue their ideals and live happily.

Rewards: 1499 Primogems + 40 points of Alicia's Affection + Random Rewards + Herrscher of Origin Power

Difficulty: Four stars

This request was the same one Chen Luo received from Alicia in the Eighth Herrscher's dream.

This is also the origin of the name Alicia (Paradise), and the wish that runs through Alicia's life.

"Huh? Why is it this?" Chen Luo asked, puzzled.

Chen Luo had almost forgotten about this wish.

However, Chen Luo felt that the fulfillment of this wish was not quite what he had imagined.

Although he forgot about this wish, in the assumption that Chen Luo obtained this wish, he either completed it when he created a real world for Alicia, or after the end of the previous civilization.

But the current timing seems... not special at all.

【Special? How could it not be special? After all, just now, you felt like you were already in the paradise you created, right?】

Is it possible that there's a place for you in the paradise that Alicia longs for?

It's not a paradise if there's not one person missing.

Even without one person, it wouldn't be called Thirteen Heroes.

Alicia has always been like this.

"This is truly... astonishing. I never imagined there was such a way to fulfill a wish," Chen Luo remarked.

Chen Luo never considered taking shortcuts to accomplish this task, which required serious effort, but he also never imagined that the final progress of the task would be blocked by himself.

Who can I complain to about this?

"Hmm, why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?" Alicia noticed that Chen Luo was staring at her, so she couldn't help but move closer to him and carefully examine her reflection in his eyes.

Although she could always find a mirror and didn't need to use the "borrow your eyes to look in the mirror" method, Alicia still liked the feeling of seeing herself everywhere in the other person's eyes.

"Nothing's stuck on it? Could it be that, Lolo, you've finally been captivated by the pink fairy's beauty?"

"No, I was thinking... about how to explain the current situation to Mei after she wakes up." Chen Luo shook his head.

"Oh, speaking of which, since Mebius is here, then you must have taken good care of Mei. So where is she?" As Chen Luo had expected, Alicia's attention was drawn to the new topic.

"It merged with a two-digit deity in the Investiture of the Gods," Chen Luo said.

This will take time.

However, although Chen Luo spanned 55,000 years, the Investiture of the Gods that Chen Luo carried with him did not actually last for very long.

But it will be soon.

“Leave this to me,” Alicia volunteered.

"I'm really looking forward to seeing Mei's expression when she sees me in person!" Alicia said excitedly.

"You shouldn't scare Mei Cai." Chen Luo gently tapped Alicia's forehead with his finger, handing over control of the Investiture of the Gods to Alicia.

"Don't worry," Alicia nodded confidently.

Although there were indeed golden plums in the bar, Chen Luo always felt that something was missing if the plums hadn't appeared in this kind of setting.

"Luckily, I had hidden a piece of cake, now I can share it with Mei!"

"Why did you hide a piece of cake?"

"I was planning to share this cake with you, Lolo, after we caught the fireworks." Alicia stared intently at Chen Luo, making no attempt to hide the fervor in her eyes.

"..." Looking at Alicia's eyes, Chen Luo was easily tempted to misunderstand.

For example, eating cake mouth-to-mouth.

That shouldn't be possible, right?

But that's not necessarily true.

Thinking of this, Chen Luo gripped the firework he was holding tightly.

When Chen Luo gets nervous, he likes to sculpt things, and the firework doll that was always placed next to the bar was in real trouble.

"Ahem, um... Chen Luo, use your hair regrowth spell on me." Just as Chen Luo and Alicia were facing off, a head suddenly appeared between them.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

"Elena, what do you need the hair regrowth technique for?" Alicia asked with a hint of resentment.

"I'm going to use my hair to make something and then give it to Chen Luo by chance! Isn't my gray hair beautiful?" Elena proudly talked about her long hair.

"It's pretty, but didn't you already give Chen Luo a doll?"

"...Because I suddenly remembered that I can't just send one. I asked you to remember to send the others dolls to Chen Luo. We forgot about this, didn't we?"

"Hmm? You can be so considerate of your other selves?"

"Hehehe... It's because I was the first to get the Memory Bread and found that making dolls wasn't too difficult, so I didn't tell them about the Memory Bread. Instead, I told them that I would make dolls for them for 500 Paradise Coins each." Elena scratched her head sheepishly.

Besides being narcissistic, Elena also has a minor flaw: greed.

"Even making money off his own money?"

"No, you should say that only those who can make money off their own money can truly make a lot of money!"

"So, have you made a lot of money?"

"No," Elena said, sounding somewhat dejected.

Then, when Irena saw Chen Luo using hair growth serum on her, and thinking about the Paradise Coins she was about to receive, she excitedly started cutting her hair.

Anyway, with Chen Luo's hair regrowth technique, hair isn't worth much.

"Alright, I'll go wait for Mei's appearance time then," Alicia said, tossing the Investiture of the Gods in her hand.

"Ah."

"I'll go surprise Kevin first. Then I'll discuss with Mei how to surprise her." Alicia left in a cheerful mood.

Chen Luo was left to play with the new power he had just acquired.

The power of the Primordial Law.

【Herrscher of Origin】: The power to make wishes come true. (Every small and sincere wish is the force that allows it to continue moving forward.) Possesses the power to connect with other powers.

A very magical power.

This power is abstracted and is quite different from the power of the Lawyer that Chen Luo currently knows.

The true nature of power is not to change anything, but to achieve something.

This power manifests differently in each user.

There is no doubt that she possesses the ability to connect with other Herrschers, and it was with this ability that Alicia severed the connection between Herrschers, allowing them to develop humanity.

The "Wish Fulfillment" power is different from Chen Luo's wish power. The "Wish Fulfillment" power of the Origin Power grows continuously according to the user's expectations.

This power is like a rough stone; what can be carved from it depends entirely on the user's ideas.

Just as Raiden Mei's possession of the Primal Law gives her the ability to sever everything, this power was born from Raiden Mei's desire to help Kiana, which propelled the power to develop in this direction.

Therefore, it will showcase what the user desires.

"Me? What do I crave?" Chen Luo asked, tapping his fingers lightly on the table as he fiddled with the Herrscher power in his hand.

Countless purple and golden lights flashed before Chen Luo's eyes.

Chen Luo is drawing a prize.

However, what Chen Luo was looking forward to was the ultimate reward for the last 200 draws.

While it's possible to directly use raw gems for ascension, it's also possible to extract some rare gems during the ascension process.

Although it may seem useless, what if it happens?

You can get at least two gold items out of 200 draws.

As the lottery interface fluctuated wildly, the guaranteed 200 draws finally arrived, albeit late.

Chen Luo directly placed the power of the Primordial Herrscher into it.

Then he made a rather difficult request.

That is, when using the Herrscher of Origin's power as a relic to summon a new power, do not consume the Herrscher of Origin's power.

In principle, this is not allowed, but the principle is in Chen Luo's hands now.

The original plan required the abilities of the other 12 Herrschers to be specified in order to designate the Herrscher of Origin's powers, but now that is no longer necessary.

To reiterate—we didn't have the same conditions you have back then.

Just a small addition of 1 raw stones will suffice.

After all, the essence of sacrificing artifacts is actually a kind of enhancement for the items.

Although enhancement requires items, isn't the power of wishing the best at creating something from nothing?

[That's 1 Primogems! That's equivalent to 2000 little lollipops! Just because Alicia gave you this power, you just spent it like that? Fine, you two are a match made in heaven, okay?]

Chen Luo had had enough of this unit of measurement!

When will this ever end?!

The appearance of SSS-level powers within a bar will not cause any major anomalies, but outside the bar, it will cause a great upheaval in the world.

"Oh my eyes! What's that sparkling thing?"

"Chen Luo, what are you up to now?"

"Ahem, I'm testing out new fireworks," Chen Luo said without changing his expression.

Although it's said that it won't cause any major impact, it will still flash.

After Chen Luo finished explaining, he focused his attention on the new Primordial Herrscher's powers in front of him.

【Origin (Tentative)】(SSS Level): Tracing back to the source, seeing one's true self, and adhering to one's true self.

"Huh? Is it over? Did the enhancement go wrong?" Chen Luo couldn't help but say.

What does this have to do with the word "origin"... Well, if I had to say, it does have something to do with it.

Talent enhancement can potentially lead to a specific branch of development, so theoretically, it's also possible to enhance it in the wrong direction.

[It's also possible that you have everything you need now, so you're free to use your raw gems freely.]

"Is that so? Perhaps this is what I need? Shall we give it a try?"

This talent is a one-time consumable. Would you like to use it immediately?

"???"

Disposable consumables.

SSS-level talent?
