Their commission was suspicious.

……

"I'm back." The Herrscher of Knowledge pushed open the bar door and walked in.

"You're finally back! Why did you take so long? It's been more than half an hour, hasn't it? You must be tired," Chen Luo said.

"It's not hard work, it's not hard work. In order to live a peaceful life in the main world, we naturally have to work hard. I found a huge river, and it's far away from our home. Don't worry about becoming a god, it won't be a problem." The Herrscher of Knowledge said, pointing behind the door.

"Hmm." Hearing the Herrscher of Knowledge's reply, Chen Luo nodded with satisfaction, then picked up the Xuanyuan Sword beside him and walked towards the door.

Yvette did not return to the doll collection during the half hour; instead, she followed them up and leaned against the door.

Yvette cannot go into the real world right now, otherwise she would be easily detected.

But watching is still allowed.

As soon as Chen Luo stepped out of the bar, a golden light appeared directly above him and showered him with a golden bath.

After coming into contact with the golden light, Chen Luo realized that it was a vast and extremely pure energy.

As these energies washed over him, Chen Luo's physical strength, the purity of his internal energy, and his mental power all increased rapidly.

This enormous golden light was extremely conspicuous, and the sky above that golden pillar was immeasurably high.

【clang!】

A deafening bell rang out above Chen Luo, its sound instantly spreading in all directions.

Ordinary people didn't notice anything unusual after hearing the bell and continued with their own business. Even ordinary people several kilometers away couldn't see the extremely conspicuous beam of light.

But for those gifted individuals, those cultivators with spiritual power, and so on, even if they are far away, the deafening sound of the bell seems to be right in front of their ears.

As the clouds rolled and unrolled, a huge scroll formed by golden light slowly condensed.

Then, the enormous scroll slowly unfurled before the eyes of all the members of the underworld.

The force of that impact didn't last long. After bestowing a certain amount of reward upon Chen Luo, the golden pillar of light grew smaller and smaller, eventually coalescing into a small, exquisite, square seal that landed steadily in Chen Luo's hand.

Seal of the gods.

The enormous pillar of light that just descended—99.9% of its power was concentrated in this thing—means Chen Luo could only absorb about 0.1% of its energy.

Looking at this thing now, and recalling the speed at which his power had increased, Chen Luo felt an urge to smash it and absorb the energy.

[Seal...] ​​Just as Chen Luo was pondering over the seal in his hand, a loud, neutral voice suddenly came from the sky.

This also means that the Investiture of the Gods has officially begun.

When they heard this voice that reached the ears of all the members of the underworld, the whole world seemed to be muted.

"How is this possible? The Investiture of the Gods?"

"No way? It's only been a short time, and someone has already met the requirements for becoming a god?"

"Based on past cases every thousand years, it should take at least 35 to 40 years before someone can be deified, right? Even if it's something specially bestowed by our ancestors, it shouldn't be this fast, right?"

While some were surprised, others were happy, and still others were sad.

"Great! Has the church's plan to create gods finally met its requirements?" Someone exclaimed, tears welling up in their eyes.

"Are you stupid? Why didn't you look in the direction?" Then the next moment, the person next to him was slapped.

"Wait? The East? No, those heretics in the East who have no faith, how can they create gods? Whether it's based on the number of believers or the distribution of their faith, there's no reason why anyone in the East could become a god through faith. It can't be that they became gods through their own strength, can it?"

"If I say you're stupid, then you're stupid. To become a god through strength, you'd have to be at least an SS-level talent! At least! And if you had that kind of strength, would Dongfang have kept it hidden?"

"But how do you solve the current situation? You should also know that the Chinese are not even novice believers. They don't care who they believe in. They only care which god can grant their wishes! They are incapable of generating the power of faith!"

"How would I know? Anyway, you're a fool. Maybe their ancestors left some kind of backup plan?"

"If you fucking want to fight, just say so?"

The Western church members were indeed quite bewildered, but the Chinese were even more bewildered.

They were even more confused than the people in the Western church.

Because only they themselves know that they really have no backup plan.

The big shots in China have also tried to obtain the first deification after the spiritual energy revival, but they have tried several times without success.

Ancestor worship and the worship of deities have been prevalent in China since ancient times.

I'll believe if you bless me, and I won't believe if you don't.

The problem is that no one can perform miracles before they become gods through faith.

Due to the repeated resurgence of spiritual energy, all the famous ancestors with great achievements are now living in self-imposed seclusion.

This creates a vicious cycle.

To achieve godhood, one must first have a renowned ancestor, but these ancestors are all confined to their self-imposed lands and cannot leave.

By the time those famous ancestors were able to emerge 50 years later, the first spot for deification would have already been snatched up by someone else.

That's...outrageous.

[The deity was appointed River God, and because the place of the investiture was on the Luo River, the deity was named Luo Goddess. The Luo Shu (Book of Luo) was bestowed upon her.] The grand voice continued to resound, deafeningly powerful.

"Huh? Luo Shu?" Chen Luo was taken aback and looked down.

From the great river beneath Chen Luo's feet, a strange divine light emanated, and a giant tortoise shell emerged from the middle of the river, slowly flying towards Chen Luo, shrinking as it flew.

When it reached Chen Luo's hands, it turned into a palm-sized tortoise shell, but after a flash of divine light, it transformed into a book.

"Huh? Is this the Luo River?" Chen Luo paused for a moment, then turned to ask the Herrscher of Knowledge in the bar in the distance.

"Hmm." The Herald of Knowledge nodded.

Chen Luo was surprised when he saw the other party nod.

Goodness, no wonder it took you half an hour to fly.

It flew really far.

Chapter 575 Luoshu and Hetu

The Yellow River produced a map, the Luo River produced a book, and the sages modeled themselves on them.

The Hetu and Luoshu are said to have appeared earlier and are even more mysterious than the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

I am not only extremely precious in a practical sense, but also a rare treasure in a mythological sense.

However, the Hetu and Luoshu do not seem to have any offensive capabilities recorded in mythology.

The Hetu and Luoshu are ultimately more of a supplementary tool, especially since Chen Luo only has the Luoshu.

"It's alright. Luckily, we came to the Luo River instead of the Yellow River. If we had gone to the Yellow River, wouldn't we have to be called the Yellow God? I couldn't bear that embarrassment." Chen Luo said with lingering fear after hearing the two words that appeared on the divine seal after the Investiture of the Gods.

Whether someone is strong or not is a matter of one version, but whether someone is handsome or not is a matter of a lifetime.

"This thing is destined for me," Chen Luo exclaimed, looking at the Luo Shu in his hand.

Chen Luo's name contains the character "Luo," and she is currently the Goddess of the Luo River, having been deified on the Luo River. It would indeed be unreasonable not to give her a Luo Shu (a book of mythology associated with the Luo River).

"!!!" Just as Chen Luo held the Luo Shu in his left hand and the Xuanyuan Sword in his right, he suddenly felt an overwhelming and unparalleled consciousness summoning him in an instant.

At this moment, Chen Luo's only thought was...

Alaya is indeed quite pathetic.

Whether it's the consciousness of the collapsing or the Heavenly Dao of this world, there's no need to seek Chen Luo's opinion.

Although one reason for this is that the way Alaya summons can harm Chen Luo.

But now... it's just a simple reward space, which can be said to be completely harmless.

Chen Luo has indeed received the title of Luo Shu, but the problem is that the first person to be deified in each millennium receives special additional rewards.

It was once again a pure white space that felt somewhat familiar.

[Chen Luo, the River God, is the first person to achieve godhood in this millennium and has received an additional reward. Please select your reward.]

As the sound rang out, several things suddenly appeared in front of Chen Luo.

First, there was a golden light. Chen Luo recognized this thing; wasn't it the power of faith?

Secondly, there was a ring with two large characters "Spirit Stone" floating on it.

This means that the ring is filled with spirit stones.

Thirdly, it was a book. Whether it was Chen Luo's imagination or not, when Chen Luo saw the book, a rather strange-looking Pegasus suddenly flashed through his mind.

"Uh, could this thing be the Hetu?" Chen Luo looked at the third book with some uncertainty.

From a purely rational perspective, neither the Hetu nor the Luoshu are ordinary books. However, the Luoshu has transformed from a tortoise shell into a book and has fallen into Chen Luo's hands.

The Hetu is also a book, so it's not a big problem.

There are only these three things in this space.

The amount of faith power is unknown, but there are definitely a large amount of snacks and possibly a book called Hetu.

Looking at these three things, Chen Luo began to think.

Chen Luo has no shortage of faith power, after all, he has two hearts of gods.

The Heart of the Anemo Archon is complete, and the power of faith within it is also complete. The Heart of the Geo Archon is merely a real-world version, but since it was a reward obtained from the Geo Archon, it may also contain half of Liyue's power of faith.

Only after Chen Luo became a god did he realize just how immense this power of faith truly was. And the current surge of faith power was even slightly less than the power of faith possessed by the Heart of the Rock God.

Therefore, Chen Luo decisively gave up on this thing.

If you throw the Heart of God into the river, you might get three more Hearts of God and three portions of faith power.

Even if there are only three God Hearts and not three portions of faith power, Chen Luo's puppets are a group of fanatical believers, so faith power is not a problem for Chen Luo.

As for the unknown number of spirit stones, Chen Luo didn't really like it either.

Chen Luo would definitely like the spirit stone, but the problem is that even the best spirit stone doesn't surpass S-grade items. So, if he throws the spirit stone into the river, Chen Luo will receive the full reward, which is three times the reward.

With Chen Luo's current speed of operation, he will become rich sooner or later. Moreover, Chen Luo is not in a hurry to lack spirit stones, so this plan fell through.

So Chen Luo finally reached for the book.

In Chen Luo's view, both the power of faith and the spirit stones seemed to be branch rewards that were used to confuse the main reward.

"By the way, is it okay if I want them all?" Chen Luo suddenly asked just as he was about to touch the River Map.

【Can.】

The next moment, Chen Luo felt himself being kicked out of that space.

When Chen Luo returned to reality, another book appeared on top of the Luo Shu he was holding in his left hand, and a ring appeared on his hand at some point. The golden power of faith seemed to have entered Chen Luo's body.

That completes the collection of all rewards.

Moreover, when Chen Luo entered that space, he knew that the time in this space was independent of real time. That is, the time when he entered was the same time when he came out.

"...Can I really have them all?" Chen Luo looked at the two books stacked in his left hand with disbelief.

Why didn't you say you wanted them all earlier?

If I had only chosen one, would I have only received one?

That's outrageous!

Chen Luo felt that this Heavenly Dao was simply an absurd version of the River God. It gave him three rewards, but never followed any set pattern.

Now that the investiture of gods was complete and the rewards were all received, the scroll formed by the golden auspicious cloud floating above Chen Luo's head slowly closed, finally transforming back into a cloud and drifting away into the sky.

However, the conferment of the title of deity was only the beginning of this turmoil.

Who conferred the title of god, and how? What was the identity of the person who conferred the title?

These are all things that various factions will need to investigate later.

At the same time, the faint golden light surrounding Chen Luo slowly dissipated.

This golden light was the protection Heaven gave to Chen Luo during the conferment of the gods, ensuring that the conferment of the gods would not be interrupted by attacks from others.

However, once the golden light dissipated, it proved that those with divination, prophecy, and fortune-telling abilities could then investigate who the deities to be conferred this time were.

"!!!" The moment the golden light dissipated, Chen Luo instantly got goosebumps.

I felt a chill enveloping me.

Yes, this chill comes from all over the world, and there's even one that's only a few dozen kilometers away from Chen Luo.
