Their commission was suspicious.

"Oh, right, eat this quickly before I regret it." Thinking of his avatar, Chen Luo thought of resurrection, and thinking of resurrection, he thought of Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu. Thinking of Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu, Chen Luo thought of his own Heavenly Fragrance Bean.

So Chen Luo casually flicked a Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom towards the Lawbringer of Knowledge.

Trusting Chen Luo, the Herrscher of Knowledge opened his mouth and swallowed the Heavenly Fragrance Bean that was launched at him.

"What is that?" asked the Lawbringer.

"Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom," Chen Luo said.

"What? Why did you give me that thing to eat?" The Herald of Knowledge was stunned for a moment.

"I don't need this thing."

"You think you can just say you won't need it? Better safe than sorry. With your reckless personality, I'm really worried that you might get betrayed by someone at any time," Chen Luo sighed.

There was a reason why Chen Luo gave Tianshan Doukou, the only remaining available spot for the Lawbringer of Knowledge.

There's no need to elaborate on their good relationship. The main difference is that Shi Bao and Mei are different; the Herrscher of Knowledge travels around countless worlds with Chen Luo.

If something goes wrong, Chen Luo can be resurrected after he is killed, but the Herrscher of Knowledge cannot.

Although the worlds Chen Luo has encountered so far are all ones he knows or is familiar with, there are bound to be some he doesn't understand, and there are bound to be some outrageous beings in those worlds...

Chen Luo has gone to great lengths to ensure that the fledgling eagles can spread their wings and fly freely.

"Hey, what is the second squad leader eating? I want some too!" Kiana floated in the air, bound by the silk threads, and waved at Chen Luo.

"What the heck is 'Second Squad Leader'?" The Herrscher of Knowledge, who hadn't heard Kiana explain the term "Second Squad Leader" earlier, was taken aback.

"Fu Hua is the class monitor, so you're the second class monitor. What a simple and easy-to-understand title."

"..."

“You don’t need what she eats. Just go to school quietly and be your Valkyrie quietly. As long as you don’t go and give the Herrscher of the End the middle finger, I can take care of everything else for you,” Chen Luo said.

Another reason why Mei and the others weren't given anything is that Chen Luo is a person who traveled to this world 5 years ago.

If I, having witnessed the future where the previous civilization vanished, knew what kind of accident might happen to Kiana and the others, I would definitely give Chen Luo a hint.

Therefore, Kiana and the others don't need this kind of resurrection item at all.

"Come, come, bring the corrupted Ji Lin over. Since we have some time now, let's discuss the issues of these two Ji Lins." Chen Luo beckoned to the Herrscher of Knowledge.

The current power to control Chi You has reached an automated stage; all Chen Luo needs to do is sit here obediently, and there will be no other problems.

Upon hearing Chen Luo's words, the Herald of Knowledge immediately took flight and then floated to Chen Luo's side, carrying the seemingly weightless Ji Lin in his arms.

Isn't it normal for those who understand the laws of nature to be able to fly?

Aside from running out of silk thread, Chen Luo is in relatively good condition.

Chen Luo reached out, and the silk threads instantly understood his meaning, wrapping around Ji Lin's body and slowly lifting Ji Lin from the arms of the Herrscher of Knowledge to Chen Luo.

Looking at the fist-sized ball of light in his left hand and then at the entire corrupted Ji Lin on his right, Chen Luo roughly understood the composition of Ji Lin now.

The corruption caused by the 5000-year-old dark seal resulted in an excessive amount of corrupting elements within Hei Jilin's body.

In this way, if the two souls that were originally one were to be merged back together, they would not revert to the original Ji Lin.

This is a bit troublesome.

And there's an even bigger problem...

"Xiao Shi now has two options. As Ji Lin's good friend, it's time for you to make a choice," Chen Luo suddenly said to the Herrscher of Knowledge.

Because Ji Lin's disagreement was more serious than Chen Luo had imagined, and for another reason, Chen Luo couldn't make a decision lightly.

"What option?" Although Xiao Shi used a question, looking at the corrupted Ji Lin and the abnormal proportion of Ji Lin's mental power, the Herrscher of Knowledge probably guessed something.

"Of course, it's about the option of merging the two of them. The first option is naturally to combine the two of them together. This method is recorded in the avatar, and it can be done perfectly. However, since the proportion of corrupted Ji Lin is now higher than that of the heroic spirit Ji Lin, the final Ji Lin will still be Ji Lin, but there will be many changes."

"You can think of her as a reversed Heroic Spirit; her personality has changed drastically."

"Another option is to separate the two of them into independent individuals, which is also very simple; just turn them into dolls."

"Hmm, why are I being given multiple-choice questions?" the Herrscher of Knowledge said, annoyed.

"And does it really have to be made into a doll?"

"Is this what you're worried about? Then you don't need to worry. No matter which option you choose, she'll still be turned into a puppet. Because if I don't turn her into a puppet after the seal breaks, they'll have to go back into the Xuanyuan Sword to survive, and what's the difference between that and resealing them?" Chen Luo said.

"Why don't you ask Ji Lin for his opinion?" Shi Bao pointed to the white ball of light in Chen Luo's left hand.

Chen Luo gently handed over the white ball of light, causing it to slowly fly towards the Herrscher of Consciousness, who then carefully held it in her palm.

The spiritual power emanating from the Herrscher of Consciousness's brow touched the white ball of light, and instantly the Herrscher of Consciousness established a connection with the other's consciousness channel.

With the remaining power of Bai Jilin, it is indeed enough to manifest, but the opponent's power is not much to begin with, and if possible, Shi Bao does not want to waste the opponent's strength.

"Long time no see, Chi Yuan." In a pure white space, a girl dressed in gold turned around and smiled at the Herrscher of Consciousness who had entered the spiritual space.

"Long time no see." The Lawbringer of Knowledge also showed a healthy smile.

......

"Alright, Ji Lin said she's decided not to merge anymore. She said she wants to split into two people, and that since the other was created because of her, she will definitely discipline the other properly and take full responsibility for their education." A short while later, the Herrscher of Knowledge opened her eyes and said to Chen Luo.

“Really? Fine. I respect their choice. However…” Chen Luo gave the Herrscher of Knowledge a strange look.

"What's wrong? But what?"

"Never mind, it's nothing."

But is this decision Ji Lin made, or is it yours?

Chen Luo really wanted to ask that.

Although Chen Luo hadn't accessed that mental space, he could tell from the unstable fluctuations of the milky-white light cluster and the ever-changing mood status of the Herrscher of Consciousness in the special relationship list that things weren't so simple.

If you look at the problem from a different perspective, you'll discover a whole new world.

Is it possible that... the corrupted Ji Lin and the Herrscher of Knowledge are too similar?

Fu Hua and Ji Lin are both people who can be called heroes.

Both Shi Bao and Hei Ji Lin were born from the former's body.

Moreover, both Shi Bao and Hei Ji Lin belong to the Honkai side.

Despite being a Herrscher, the Herrscher of Knowledge still believes herself to be the true Fu Hua and is determined to resist the Honkai.

Hei Jilin said she wanted to take revenge on the person she used to protect, but the other party's ultimate wish was definitely not that, but to break free from this long loneliness.

Why does Chen Luo know so much about this?

All I can say is that while the Herrscher of Knowledge and the Black Kirin were fighting, Chen Luo received a commission.

[Loneliness]: To "liberate" Hei Jilin from the long loneliness and darkness.

Reward: 1000 Primogems + [Xuanyuan Sword]

Difficulty: Four stars

Therefore, the Herrscher of Knowledge and the Black Princess Lin are very similar.

Although Chen Luo believed that Ji Lin made the final decision, the Herrscher of Knowledge had definitely whispered in his ear quite a bit.

The reason Chen Luo didn't merge the two was because when he made the suggestion, he keenly sensed a strange feeling flashing through the mind of the Herrscher of Knowledge.

And in the Special Relationships section of the Talent panel, under the Treasure Recognition category, there's that somewhat glaring red mood status—【Disappointment】.

What do you think Chen Luoneng should do now that these two words have appeared?

coax!

Chapter 451 Darkening Makes You Ten Times Stronger

The final discussion results have been reached; the next step is implementation.

Regardless of how the Herrscher of Knowledge persuaded Ji Lin, Chen Luo didn't mind since the other party had this idea.

There are two ways to complete the task of liberation that Chen Luo received.

One way is to simply eliminate it. This is the most obvious and simplest method.

Another way is to prevent them from falling into darkness and from being alone, which can also be considered a liberation from darkness and loneliness.

However, this method is rather complicated.

First, freeing her from loneliness is easy to handle; just send Cangxuan and Danzhu to keep her company.

To be freed from darkness, one must ensure that the other party is not resealed.

Bronya and Kiana watched Chen Luo. In order to avoid any situations that were inappropriate for children, Chen Luo changed his transformation method.

He placed two doll-like marks resembling raw stones between Hei Jilin's eyebrows, watching as the two dominion marks completely merged into Hei Jilin's body.

Then he took out another doll mark and placed it on the milky white ball of light.

Black Ji Lin has stronger mental power than Ji Lin currently, so naturally she needs more puppet imprints.

These three doll imprints were left over from when Chen Luo squandered doll imprints some time ago, and they came in handy for these two.

"Strange, why did it go so smoothly when the doll imprints were implanted into them?" Chen Luo looked at Ji Yilin and Hei Jilin with some puzzlement.

"What's wrong? Is something the matter?" the Herald of Knowledge asked with some concern.

"Or is it that two souls are somewhat vulnerable if they are separated?" This is actually the question that the Herrscher of Knowledge has always been worried about.

Dear Shi Bao, as a Lawyer of Knowledge, you naturally have your own insights on this matter. Or rather, the Lawyer of Knowledge's profession is related to this, so it's normal to have concerns in this regard.

"No, dollification is not such an inconvenient thing. Even if you take off your clothes now, I can turn your clothes into a doll. The key is that the other party, as a separate individual with a soul, adapts to the control mark too quickly, catching people off guard."

"..." Upon hearing Chen Luo's words, Shi Bao instinctively hugged himself tighter.

what do you want?

You want to take my clothes off?

There are other people here.

Chen Luo took out his erhu and gently struck a chord with Shi Bao.

"Ouch!" Shi Bao clutched his head, feeling a bit of pain.

"Be serious."

"Who was being inappropriate first?"

"Hey, can you two be normal for once?" Himeko couldn't stand it anymore. Didn't she see that Kiana and Mei, those little brats, were blushing?

The simple conversation itself was exciting enough for them.

"All beings with soul characteristics inherently possess a rejection of external existence, especially things like humanization that endanger the soul. However, Ji Lin and Black Ji Lin seem to accept the mark of domination with unexpected smoothness." Thinking of this, Chen Luo couldn't help but look at the Xuanyuan Sword floating beside him.

Xuanyuan Sword, Key of Domination, Herrscher of Domination

Chen Luo, the Law Master of Domination, wields the power of domination.

Ji Xuanyuan, the wielder of the Sword of Domination, spent 5000 years inside the Xuanyuan Sword...

Could it be that Ji Lin has already been transformed into the shape of the other party by the Key of Domination?

The reason why Soul Steel is called Soul Steel is because it can possess special attributes. It cannot be said to have the effect of nourishing the soul, but after staying in Xuan-Yuan Sword for more than 5000 years, it has changed to some extent.

Chen Luo was unsure whether this change was benign, but for this reason, Ji Lin and Black Ji Lin's transformation into puppets was completed in just 10 minutes.

It was so fast it caught everyone off guard.

Chi You, look at Ji Lin, and then look at yourself.

What a useless piece of trash!

......

"Red Kite, a thousand-year-old grudge! How can it be avenged?!"

"Why are you looking for me? I'm not Chi Yuan, am I?" the Herrscher of Knowledge said, sounding somewhat aggrieved.

"..." Hei Jilin, who was tied to the side by Chen Luo with silk thread, suddenly stopped shouting angrily.

"Damn it, let me go! Don't stop me, let me go and chop her up!" Hei Jilin turned around and roared at Chen Luo.

“…Oh, go ahead.” Chen Luo decisively released the silk threads binding the other person.
