Their commission was suspicious.

Furthermore, since Chen Luo and Paimon's discounts didn't reach 5%, it's normal that the summoned phantom Paimon couldn't defeat Paimon.

But Chen Luo really does have a chance to summon Paimon.

Unfortunately, the summoning bell does not yet have a designated function, so it cannot be used to summon a specific person.

Meanwhile, the young master finally jumped onto the device where the Rock King Emperor was located and stood on the other's claws.

"The Heart of Morax..." The young master stood on Morax's claws. His right hand crackled with lightning from the Evil Eye, and at the same time, he used the power of the Archon bestowed upon him by the Ice Queen, directly plunging his hand into the chest of the Rock King.

Although Chen Luo was very curious about how the other person managed to insert their hand into the other person's body without damaging it, it seemed that the issue he needed to focus on now was not that.

The young master's power clashed with the remaining power of the Immortal Ancestor's Dharma Transformation. A gust of wind arose, Chen Luo was unharmed, but Paimon was almost sent flying.

"I'll accept it..." The young master withdrew his hand from the Immortal Ancestor's Dharma Body and looked at his hand with confidence.

Then... the young master's smile froze on his face, because his hands were empty.

This is not because the young master made a mistake and failed to retrieve the Heart of God. Such a mistake would be impossible for him.

Then the reason why the young master does not have the Heart of God can only be another reason—there is no Heart of God in the Immortal Ancestor's Dharma Body at all.

"Young Master, you've only gotten a lonely one," Chen Luo remarked from the side.

Chen Luo's voice also attracted the young master's attention.

"How unexpected. So your goal was also the Heart of God? Someone beat you to it," the young master said with a sly smile.

"Don't talk nonsense, young master. You know me. If I wanted the Heart of God, I could have killed you just now and the Heart of God would still be mine." Chen Luo took the initiative to shift the blame.

"..." The young master was speechless.

“Young Master, you know me. If I can obtain the Heart of God, it will prove that I can see the Immortal Ancestor’s physical form, and then I won’t have to accompany Zhong Li to wander around the world.” Yingmei followed closely behind.

"Um, that..." Seeing Yingmei and Chen Luo so quickly shifting the blame, Paimon was at a loss for what excuse to come up with.

"Alright, you don't need to say anything more. I believe you because you can't do it." Before Paimon could even come up with an excuse, the young master had already believed him.

"Wow, young master, you really are a bastard," Paimon said angrily.

"Thinking about it carefully, you really have no chance of obtaining the Heart of God before me, nor do you have any reason to hide it from me after obtaining it," the young master said slowly.

Because if Chen Luo had wanted to, the young master might have been forced to his knees by that woman named Yun Lian'er just now.

Although the other party has disappeared, the young master has also been greatly exhausted, while Chen Luo and Yingmei are maintaining their best physical strength.

"..." After hearing the young master's words to himself, Yingmei couldn't help but take another look at Chen Luo.

Although the other girls don't know, Chen Luo does have a Heart of God. Regardless of whether it's real or fake, Chen Luo definitely has one.

"Since the Heart of God wasn't taken away by someone, could it have never been in the Immortal Ancestor's physical body from the beginning?"

"Thinking further, could the Immortal Ancestor's Dharma Transformation itself just be a smokescreen?" the young master pondered.

"Huh? You mean... the Rock King Emperor didn't die, and the immortal body he died in was fake?" Paimon exclaimed in surprise.

"I'm afraid that's true. After all, although you always say that the most likely person to assassinate the Lord is us, the Fatui, and that it's all a conspiracy by us, the problem is that as the Winter's executor in Liyue, I naturally know that although we want the Heart of God, we're not at the point of assassinating the Rock Lord."

Because we can't beat them.

"Besides, I am the strongest among all the Fatui in Liyue. Do you think I don't know whether I killed the Geo Archon or not?"

Of course, the young master was not sure if he could defeat the Rock King Emperor when his combat power was at its full strength.

After all, he was a powerful figure who could rival the Empress.

The Rock God has always been fulfilling his divine duties, brimming with divine power, unlike the Wind God next door who, having had his heart stolen by a lady, does nothing of substance.

Although the young master really wanted to fight the Rock King Emperor, he still didn't get to fight him, did he?

"This is interesting... As expected of the guardian deity of the commercial capital, he is also very proficient in [trickery outside of contracts]. We have all been played by this Rock King Emperor."

Upon closer examination, the death of the Rock King Emperor is indeed quite suspicious.

"It seems that we have no choice but to activate the backup plan now," the young master said with a sigh.

"A backup plan?" Paimon asked, seemingly unconcerned.

"I didn't originally want to use this plan because it would affect the weak. In the end, the world belongs to those of us who strive to become stronger. I usually don't bother with the boring and weak. Unfortunately, as an executive officer of the Fools, I can't be picky about the methods. It's like how children sometimes have to learn to eat carrots they don't like," the young master said with some helplessness.

Young Master still prefers straightforward battles, but of course, he'll skip the kind of straightforward beating he just got.

However, the young master felt that the battle just now was quite helpful to him. Fighting against strong opponents does indeed lead to faster progress.

If possible, the young master would really like to fight the other party a few more times, provided that the other party is not the real body.

The intensity just now was just right—enough to beat them but not kill them either.

You can continuously improve in battle.

"So, what exactly do you want?" Yingmei looked at the young master with some wariness.

"I want to... awaken the sleeping demon god beneath the Lonely Cloud Pavilion," the young master said.

"Demon?" Paimon muttered the word.

"The Whirlpool Demon God Oser was defeated by the Rock Demon God Morax during the Demon God War and was suppressed in the sea by a rock spear."

"If a former demon god were to attack Liyue Harbor, which has lost its divine protection, do you think the Geo Archon, who has tricked us all, would still be able to sit back and watch the show peacefully?"

As a qualified villain, the young master did indeed answer every question.

"But...but the Demon God War ended 2000 years ago. In this world where there are only seven gods, how are you going to deal with the ancient demon gods..."

"Speaking of which, I must thank Mr. Chen Luo next to you. The 49 Unrestricted Talismans he sold me yesterday were a huge help. To be honest, when I saw him take out so many Unrestricted Talismans, for a moment I suspected that he was the Rock God himself, otherwise where would he get so many Unrestricted Talismans?"

"However, recalling that the other party first appeared in Mondstadt instead of Liyue, and that their personality didn't seem like that of a Geo Archon, I ruled that out."

"Although I originally planned to use the previously copied Hundred Taboos Record to awaken him, the effect would probably be better if we had the original Hundred Taboos Record." After the young master finished speaking, a large number of Hundred Taboos Records suddenly appeared around him and began to rotate.

"A copy of The Unbridled? Come to think of it, we did discover that the Fools were researching that." Paimon recalled.

In fact, what Paimon chose to take away from the Jade Pavilion was information about the Fools' imitation of the Book of No Taboos, which is why this thing couldn't be sold for money.

“That’s right, we did make a copy. The one we gave you was just a byproduct of this research. However, after we had a more perfect Unrestricted Talisman, I abandoned those copycat Unrestricted Paths,” the young master said.

"With so much unrestrained power gathered together, plus the power bestowed upon the regent by the Empress... if the power of the Rock Spear could only be temporarily released, it might now be able to completely break the seal."

“Chen Luo…” Yingmei squinted and turned to look at Chen Luo.

This is all your fault! Aren't you going to do anything about it?

"Don't look at me. Although I know that the young master is a member of the Fools and would never do anything good, he has given me far too much," Chen Luo said helplessly.

For Chen Luo now, the Mora are secondary, but even now, the raw stones the young master gave him are generous enough.

"It's too late to stop it now. Why do you think I answered all your questions earlier? It was to buy time, of course," the young master said with a smile.

Although the young master likes direct confrontation, he is not stupid.

Meanwhile, outside Liyue Harbor, as the effects of the Unbounded Record and the power of the Fatui Enforcers continued to be unleashed, countless waterspouts shot straight into the sky. Near Lonely Cloud Pavilion, a huge shadow was surging in the sea.

"Let's wait and see. Will this kingdom, devoid of its gods, be swallowed up once again by the malice of antiquity?"

Suddenly, the young master's figure was swallowed by a ball of soft water, which carried him straight into the sky and flew directly to the top of the Golden House.

Young Master did use this move just now, but because the entire Golden House was surrounded by the Crimson Lotus Barrier, Young Master could only move within the area covered by the Crimson Lotus Barrier.

"But if you also want to drown with the people of Liyue, then have fun." After disappearing, the prince's voice echoed throughout the Golden House.

"Chen Luo, think of something quickly," Yingmei said anxiously.

Yingmei had a feeling that something bad had happened, and something serious at that.

"I'll think of a way? What way can I think of?" Chen Luo rolled his eyes at Yingmei.

Do we need to think of a way to deal with a demon god? Of course, we just go up and fight him.

Anyway, you can't just do nothing and reseal the other person back into the sea.

So when in doubt, just fight it out.

"This is all your fault! Aren't you going to take responsibility for cleaning up the mess?"

"Wow, people should be reasonable! Didn't you hear what the young master just said? He's also researching the Unrestricted Talisman, and he's quite successful at it!"

“But the 'No Taboos' talisman he’s using now was given to him by you,” Yingmei emphasized.

"Hmm, alright, alright, let's stop arguing here. Let's go out and see what's going on. You haven't even seen the Demon God yet, how do you know if he's scary or not? Besides, you two absolutely mustn't tell anyone about the fact that there are no taboos." Chen Luo said to the two of them.

After all, the existence of demon gods sounds terrifying, but you only know how terrifying they really are when you see them.

"So, do you need me to give you a ride now?" Chen Luo asked, opening an imaginary channel.

In the original world of Honkai Impact 3, the Herrscher of the Void's abilities can still be used to open imaginary channels, rather than simply spatial power.

For example, the continent of Teyvat.

“Of course.” Yingmei nodded.

Chapter 365 Old Master, Long Time No See

"It seems that Young Master really did use the Unfettered Talisman to break the seal on that Whirlpool Demon God. Fortunately, the Whirlpool Demon God is still in the sea and hasn't landed in Liyue Harbor yet." Yingmei, who came out of the Imaginary Space, found herself standing on the Jade Pavilion. But what attracted her most was not the Jade Pavilion, but the huge thing in the sea.

Standing atop the Jade Pavilion, one can see a colossal water serpent with several heads moving from the direction of Lone Cloud Pavilion towards Liyue Harbor.

The enormous heads of the vortex-like demon god were like towering columns of water, inspiring awe and fear. Even from a distance, one felt a sense of unease, as if it were difficult to breathe. This was the oppressive aura of the ancient demon god.

Even the oppressive aura of ancient demon gods is harmful to ordinary people.

"How did you get here?" asked True Lord Xiaoyue Zhuyang as he slowly walked over from behind the Jade Pavilion.

"That was Chen Luo's ability just now, right? Where is Chen Luo?" Before Yingmei could answer, Shen He asked first.

It seems that Shen He is more concerned about whether Chen Luo has come than Ying Mei...

“Well… Chen Luo was supposed to come along, but before we even started the transmigration, he said he was going back to get someone. I don’t know who he was going to get, but he really just brought us here and didn’t come himself,” Yingmei said, shaking her head.

"Call someone?"

……

"Wendy, you drunkard, wake up! If you keep sleeping, you won't be able to drink the Wind God Wine for three days." Chen Luo dragged Wendy out of the bar and said to him.

"Ugh... You're trying to kill me by not letting me drink the Wind God Wine for three days!" Wendy exclaimed in shock.

"But where is this? No, wait, that in the distance... if I'm not mistaken, it should be a demon god, right? This is Teyvat, isn't it?" The previously drowsy Venti instantly sobered up, but looking at the huge vortex demon god with many heads in the distance, Venti asked uncertainly.

The main reason is that the war between the demons and gods on the continent of Teyvat ended more than 2000 years ago. How could there still be such things as demons and gods? Shouldn't those things be either dead or suppressed?

"This is Liyue Harbor. That's the Maelstrom over there, the guy who fought Morax back then. Because the Fatui wanted to cause trouble, they released it. I'm going to beat him up in a bit. You keep an eye on things here at the harbor. If a tsunami comes, remember to hold it off. And if there are any Fatui members, take them down too," Chen Luo said to Venti.

Chen Luo hadn't originally planned to call Wendy over, because he didn't know where she was, so calling her would be troublesome. It would be easier to call the Herrscher of Knowledge. But as soon as Chen Luo entered the bar, he saw Wendy still lying next to the bar, not yet awake, and he knew he had a free laborer.

You were the one who lay there unconscious next to the bar, so don't blame me for dragging you over here as a tool.

"Ugh, this kind of troublesome thing..."

"I managed to get my hands on some of Morax's Celestial Ancestor's Manifestation. I'll use that as an ingredient to make you some Rock God's Brew later," Chen Luo said, looking at Wendy who didn't seem too keen on contributing.

"What? You actually have such a good thing? Wine made with the old man's immortal ancestral method? I want to drink it!" Wendy cheered instantly.

The drinks Chen Luo made, whether they suited his taste or not, were definitely delicious. Although this Rock God Drink was certainly not as palatable to Wendy as the Wind God Drink, the key was that it contained the Immortal Ancestor's Manifestation. Who could resist that?

As for the Immortal Ancestor's physical transformation and the ceremony of sending off the Immortal, Wendy heard about it yesterday.

Listen to what Qin and the others said.

Of course, Wendy didn't believe it, even though she'd heard it.

Who on the continent of Teyvat can defeat old man Morax?

Assassination? I'll stab you in the head.

After learning from Chen Luo about Morax's feigned death and escape, Wendy continued drinking.

Although the Immortal Ancestor's Dharma Body wasn't actually knocked off Morax's body, it's still pretty cool, isn't it?
