Their commission was suspicious.

Chen Luo is referring to the power of the Herrscher of the Void. After being conceptualized and modified, Chen Luo's Herrscher of the Void also possesses its own characteristics.

The Herrscher of the Void does not simply represent spatial power; its abilities also include connecting to imaginary space.

After the transformation, in addition to being able to traverse imaginary space, it is also adept at discovering all kinds of hidden spaces of meaning.

In a sense, Chen Luo is a professional at traveling to other dimensions.

"Tsk."

Damn, how do you have so many abilities?

Why can't we learn one skill thoroughly?

After hearing Chen Luo's words, Yakumo Yukari felt a toothache.

Chen Luo is the person with the strangest and most numerous abilities that Yakumo Yukari has ever seen, without exception.

"Tell me, what do you want?" Yukari Yakumo sighed.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

[Hype] Hype, keep hype, and they've managed to trick Moriya Shrine into wanting to enter Gensokyo.

Rewards: 200 Primogems + 5 points of affinity with Yukari Yakumo + a full set of Yukari Yakumo Spell Cards

200 raw gems, it doesn't seem like they're particularly valued.

“Yakumo Ran’s personal tutoring,” Chen Luo said after thinking for a moment.

“Okay, no problem. I’ll have Ran teach you your homework in a bit. Aren’t you a high school student? Ran is very good at math,” Yukari Yakumo said decisively.

"Bullshit, what tutoring do I need? I want her to tutor Xiao Ba, poor Xiao Ba still can't transform into human form." Chen Luo stroked the pink-furred little fox in his arms.

“That makes it even easier!” Yukari Yakumo continued decisively.

"You're really quick at selling your own shikigami, aren't you?" Chen Luo exclaimed.

Actually, what Chen Luo wanted most was Yakumo Yukari's realm ability, which could be achieved through a separation surgery, but Chen Luo knew that Yakumo Yukari would definitely refuse.

"Ahem, Kanako, I've decided what I want," Chen Luo said to Kanako.

Although Chen Luo and Yakumo Yukari were communicating telepathically, this form of communication only lasted for a blink of an eye.

"Oh, what do you want?"

"Belief."

"Hmm? Do you want us to worship you?" Kanako Yasaka asked, somewhat surprised.

"Of course not, one should naturally show respect to the gods."

At least show some respect on the surface.

Behind the scenes? If you can make my wish come true, I'll believe you.

Can't have your wish fulfilled? Then stay out of the way.

Chapter 488 Ironclad Little Treasure No. 1!

“Since the power of faith is so precious, then… I want an equal amount of the power of faith back,” Chen Luo said.

"Huh? You're going to back out?"

“No, no, no, I don’t go back on my word. I can find you a place where you can collect faith, and you can give me half of your faith in the future, as a way of paying off a debt, how about that?” Chen Luo said.

"A place where faith can be collected, you mean...?"

Gensokyo.

"Is faith such an inconvenient thing? Wouldn't it be a better choice to transform the shrine from a human world into a fantasy existence and collect faith in Gensokyo? After all, there are many humans in Gensokyo who have no faith. Besides, if humans can generate the power of faith, can't youkai do the same?"

"Although I have lent you a considerable amount of faith power to sustain your existence, the problem is that modern civilization has indeed lost the soil to nourish faith. The decline and disappearance of gods is an inevitable trend."

"Not only for you guys, but also for my debts, I actually really suggest you move into Gensokyo," Chen Luo said sincerely.

"This..." Kanako Yasaka glanced at Suwako beside her and began to hesitate.

Chen Luo was right. Although Yasaka Kanako and the little frog now possessed a sufficient amount of faith power, it was only 1% of the faith power in the Heart of the Wind God, which was far from enough for them to fully recover to their peak.

Moreover, even if it recovers to its peak, if it continues to be unable to make ends meet, it will eventually fail again.

As society develops and technology advances, humanity's reverence for deities is diminishing. This is especially detrimental to deities who live off faith.

Although having enough faith allows one to perform miracles and use them to attract believers, the smarter a person is, the less they believe in gods, and the less likely they are to completely believe in gods; they only believe in themselves.

Otherwise, why do you think emperors in the past would have practiced ***?

People are easily fooled only when they read too few books.

People are becoming increasingly difficult to fool, and are entangled in various desires. Even if they become believers, they will only be superficial believers, not even reaching the level of a normal believer. Even powerful figures like Amaterasu and Tsukiyomi wouldn't be able to survive on the faith of modern society, would they?

They have their own methods; they won't stay in human society for long anyway, because they simply can't survive there.

The faith that modern people develop by performing miracles might not even be enough to compensate for the faith power consumed when performing miracles.

The concept of deities is inherently something that will disappear as times change.

Because people have gradually lost their faith.

No, saying it's lost might not be entirely accurate; it's more like it's changed.

The previous reverence for heaven and earth and the sun and moon has turned into worship of money and technology.

If you had the means, who wouldn't want to display a lucky cat figurine or something?

If Kanako and Suwako had some kind of divine position like a god of wealth or matchmaker, they wouldn't be in such a miserable state, but unfortunately they don't.

Wealth and marriage, which were among the worst off among the ancient gods, have now risen to become the masters—something no one could have imagined.

People today aren't less superstitious; it's just that their superstitions have shifted in direction.

Kanako represents Earth, and Amasuwako represents Earth; both are gods who favor battle and power.

But the problem is that with all the natural disasters and earthquakes happening now, people seem to have come to understand the true nature of things. Since they understand, they no longer have any faith.

But money is different.

Even if you know money very well, you'll still want it.

Suwako and Kanako remained silent for a moment, then Suwako turned her gaze to Sanae Kochiya.

In fact, Suwako and Kanako had already thought about moving to Gensokyo, but the problem was that a shrine couldn't only have gods; it also needed shrine maidens.

Besides being a shrine maiden, Sanae was also raised by Kanako and Suwako.

However, unlike Kanako and Suwako, Sanae Kochiya is a human being, a human who has always lived in the modern world.

You definitely need to bring Sanae Kochiya with you when you go to Gensokyo, otherwise you won't be able to collect faith there.

But completely separating a modern person from modern society is also a rather troublesome matter.

However, on the other hand, although the existence of the two gods was unsustainable before Chen Luo came, now the faith of the two gods is sufficient to quietly watch Kouchi Sanae get married and have children, and watch her slowly grow old.

So, barring any unforeseen circumstances, if we conserve our faith power, going to Gensokyo in a few decades shouldn't be a problem.

But the problem is that both gods now owe Chen Luo a debt.

Also, Sanae is a living god.

The gods are essentially gods too. They wouldn't do something like leaving Sanae alone in the outside world.

Sanae Kochiya, who was being watched by the two gods, seemed to sense something as well.

"Oh, alright." Having given the two gods ample time to think, Chen Luo suddenly realized that the Void Treasury had reminded him that most of the information in this world had been copied.

However, this information is far too complex, so I need to go back and organize it properly.

Chen Luo reached out and patted the computer robot that was playing with Sanae Kochiya, then pulled the USB drive that Void Treasury had turned into from the robot's arm.

Although the other party has turned into a small robot, its internet connectivity remains intact.

"Thank you for your help, Ms. Sanae. Now that this laptop belongs to its owner, it should be returned to its rightful owner."

"Ah, oh. I wanted to ask you, if this robot leaves you, can it still turn into a small robot?" Sanae Kochiya teased the small robot that the laptop had transformed into with a hint of reluctance.

As a living god, Sanae Kochiya naturally has some unique hobbies, such as Gundam.

Of course, what Sanae Kochiya likes is robots, and she doesn't really care about size.

"Of course, just remember to charge it," Chen Luo said.

"But Ms. Sanae, do you really like robots?"

“Yes, it would be even better if they were bigger robots,” Sanae Kochiya said happily.

"Mecha? Yes. I happen to have a few mecha in my collection. Although they're not those giant robots that are tens of meters tall, they're still large armored vehicles. Although you may not know this yourself, Miss Sanae, borrowing the computer just now was a huge help. So, to express my gratitude, I'll give you a mecha." Chen Luo said.

"A mecha? You're giving me one? Really?" Sanae Kochiya asked with some surprise.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

"Why would I lie to you? This isn't a good place to take it out. Let's go outside, or we might break the floor." Chen Luo said, then stood up.

"Oh, by the way, Yakumo Yukari, can I borrow your fan for a moment?" Chen Luo suddenly said to Yakumo Yukari.

"Don't break it, this was given to me by Yuyuko." Yukari Yakumo reluctantly lent the folding fan to Chen Luo.

After taking Yakumo Yukari's fan, Chen Luo floated outwards and, in an unconventional manner, passed directly through the wall.

When she saw how Chen Luo left, Sanae Kochiya was stunned for a moment, but she quickly followed him out.

Seeing that Sanae had followed them out, Kanako and Suwako quickly followed as well.

Although Suwako and Kanako had a good impression of Chen Luo, the guy who was willing to sell his faith power to them, they were still worried about Sanae Kochiya's safety.

People who have lived for thousands of years will never have much trust in a stranger they have only known for less than an hour.

Yukari Yakumo didn't follow. Too lazy to move, she simply opened a gap and looked outside.

The moment Sanae Kochiya stepped into the yard, her eyes instantly turned into hearts.

In the courtyard, a mecha that was enormous compared to the size of an adult stood there.

"It's a mecha, it's a mecha!" Sanae Kochiya rushed forward and touched the massive arm of the powerful Anti-Entropy mecha.

"Of course it's a mecha. Would I lie to you?"

[Ding! Mission complete]

You get 150 raw gems and 20 affinity points.

This favorability is much easier to gain than the favorability between Kanako and Suwako.

"This mecha isn't just for show; it can also be used in combat and piloted. While it can't compare to the super-giant mechas in anime, its destructive power is definitely guaranteed," Chen Luo added, looking at the excited Sanae.

"Really? Is it safe to drive?"

"of course."

"Snap!" Chen Luo snapped his fingers, and the mecha that had been standing quietly there moved instantly, popping open the cabin to reveal an empty space that could accommodate one person.

Besides being unmanned, the anti-entropy mechs can also be controlled by humans at will.

Kiana, a character in the story, once piloted Anti-Entropy's mech and was reluctant to part with it.

"Can I get on and pilot it now?" Sanae asked, pointing to the giant mech in front of her.

"No, not until you've thoroughly read this Anti-Entropy Mech Piloting Guide." Chen Luo took a book out of his backpack and handed it to Sanae Kochiya.

"Although I've already given you this mecha, and I keep my word, you need a driver's license to drive, and piloting a mecha isn't easy. Improper driving will lead to tragedy," Chen Luo said earnestly after handing over the driving manual.

"Oh, I see. But can you really give me this? It's such a valuable gift..."

"Alright, it's yours now. I've transferred secondary access to it to you. You can control it now. A single mech doesn't have many controllers; you can operate it with your voice."

The highest authority? The highest authority, of course, belongs to Chen Luo.

"Ironclad Treasure No. 1, take one step forward!" Sanae Kochiya said excitedly.

After hearing Sanae Kochiya's command, the anti-entropy mech took a step forward.

"..." Chen Luo wasn't quite sure whether he should criticize Kochiya Sanae's adaptability or her quirky naming skills.

"Sigh, Sanae still loves robots as much as ever. It's not a girl's hobby at all." Kanako said from under the eaves, watching Sanae seem to be having a lot of fun.
