Their commission was suspicious.

Just as the chill gradually approached Chen Luo, the Xuanyuan Sword in Chen Luo's right hand trembled slightly.

The invisible chill condensed into form, transforming into illusory mirrors that appeared before Chen Luo.

Through the mirror, Chen Luo could see who was emanating the chill.

Some were dressed in Taoist robes and sat cross-legged on a simple prayer mat; some were draped in kasaya and chanted sutras and Buddhist prayers; some were wearing pointed hats and touching crystal balls, chanting something unknown.

Some were enveloped in holy light, appearing majestic and solemn.

"Do these people really want to know my identity? Luckily, I have the Xuanyuan Sword." Looking at the dozens of mirrors surrounding him, Chen Luo felt a lingering fear.

Of course, Chen Luo also vaguely sensed that his Hetu Luoshu seemed to be trying to conceal the secrets of heaven, but the opponent's sequence seemed to be a little lower than that of the Xuanyuan Sword, so it did not activate.

"I'm so touched by everyone's concern for me. We hit it off immediately, and we should really become friends." Chen Luo said with a headache as he looked at the dozens of illusory figures surrounding him.

The next moment, Chen Luo's friend list was instantly filled.

Although Chen Luo's friend slots can be infinitely subdivided into groups, there is a limit to the total number of slots.

Seeing the friend slots instantly filled up, Chen Luo sighed and spent another 500 primal stones to open up more friend slots.

After meeting again and feeling an instant connection, they finally turned all the dozens of illusory figures surrounding them into good friends.

Then, the next moment, Chen Luo threw all these good friends into the "tool (backup)" column.

That's right, Chen Luo has created a new group.

This group consists of people who are unfriendly but not entirely unfriendly.

The only candidates available right now are these illusory figures.

At home you rely on your parents, but when you're away from home you rely on your friends. Chen Luo is very happy to have made so many new friends today.

After all, someone with this kind of detection ability must be quite capable themselves.

It is obvious that Chen Luo's latest wave of "instant rapport" was definitely the first method, which involves forcibly increasing the discount.

However, after research, Chen Luo discovered that these two methods can actually be converted. No, specifically, the first method can be converted into the second method, meaning that favorability fragments can be added later to turn it into a good friend with a normal discount.

Therefore, Chen Luo was not afraid of accidentally injuring friendly forces.

If you actually encounter someone you can get along with amicably, then just add more affinity fragments.

"Sorry everyone, my mom called me home for dinner, so I can't chat with you anymore." Looking at the illusory mirrors, Chen Luo put the Hetu Luoshu into his backpack and then picked up the Xuanyuan Sword in his right hand.

"Splash!"

A sound like flowing water rang out, and the Xuanyuan Sword in Chen Luo's hand slid smoothly past the illusory figures surrounding him.

After the Xuanyuan Sword slashed through, the phantoms were severely injured and shattered instantly.

Looking at the shattered afterimage, Chen Luo could more or less see the Explorer, who had paid a price for it.

For example... vomiting blood.

Seeing how smooth the Xuanyuan Sword was, Chen Luo temporarily stopped swinging it.

"Hmm, could it be that this thing is actually quite weak?" Looking at the few remaining phantoms, Chen Luo felt a sense of doubt.

Then Chen Luo raised his fist.

Chen Luo himself possesses the ability to control destiny, so he is also capable of resisting these phantoms.

"Take my Friendship-Breaking Fist!" Chen Luo's left fist slammed into the nearest phantom.

The phantom trembled, rippling like water, but the next moment, it stood perfectly still in front of Chen Luo.

“…A bunch of wicked friends.” Chen Luo spat at them, raising his trembling middle finger on his left hand, and then picked up the Xuanyuan Sword in his right hand.

If you are all unjust, don't blame me for being unjust.

Chen Luo struggled to kill even one of the phantoms, and his left hand was still trembling. He still couldn't inflict much damage on the opponent, but when the Xuanyuan Sword slashed through these phantoms, it was as easy as cutting water with a knife.

Whether it can shut off the water flow is another matter, but it's very smooth and offers little resistance.

"Crack!" After eliminating all the phantoms present, Chen Luo looked at the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand with some suspicion, and then gently bent the blade.

"Alright, the Xuanyuan Sword is still no match for physical attacks." Looking at the Xuanyuan Sword broken in two, Chen Luo guiltily reattached the broken blade to the wound, and it quickly healed as before.

After finishing everything, Chen Luo flew quickly towards the bar in the distance, but stopped when he reached the entrance.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Luo raised the Xuanyuan Sword and slashed fiercely at the Luo River in front of him.

"Crack!" Perhaps because Chen Luo used too much force, the Xuanyuan Sword, which had just been restored to its original state, was broken again due to its fragility.

Xuanyuan Sword is still really weak in terms of physical attacks.

The food was outrageous.

However... although on the surface the river water still flowed swiftly and was not harmed in any way, conceptually, the residual power of the Xuanyuan Sword's counterattack caused by the previous exploration directly severed all the heavenly secrets of the place where Chen Luo was just now.

In Chen Luo's eyes, the entire celestial secrets within a 3-kilometer radius were reduced to a state of chaos.

As cautious as Chen Luo is.

At this moment, in this place, the secrets of heaven are obscured.

Although this wasn't entirely without any worries, it was the best Chen Luo could do.

If possible, Chen Luo even wanted to bombard the entire area within a 100-kilometer radius with a modified version of the insane thermobaric bomb.

But that would be utterly inhumane.

"I'm outta here. Anyway, they can only be investigating Luohe, not me." After doing all this, Chen Luo quickly ran into the bar.

Actually, the phantom objects that surged over to perform calculations and divination were not Chen Luo, but Luo He.

Because Chen Luo was blessed by Heaven during the Investiture of the Gods, no one was able to investigate the cause and effect of that period.

However, during the Investiture of the Gods, the contents of that divine revelation revealed Chen Luo's location.

So what they were divining just now wasn't who the river god was, but who had lingered above the Luo River.

Less than three minutes after Chen Luo closed the bar door and left, several beams of light flew one after another onto the Luo River.

"Hey, isn't this the bald monk? You're here too?"

"donor……"

"No, I'm not your benefactor, I can't afford to give you anything, shut up."

"...Master, you're injured too?"

"You bald monk, what's it to you?"

"You two, stop arguing! You two idiots who discovered the backlash they suffered, and you still have the nerve to fight? Didn't you hear what their reward was? The Luo Shu."

"There are actually idiots who use the Hetu and Luoshu to deduce the innate and acquired Bagua and then try to deduce the owner of the Hetu and Luoshu. What are you thinking? It's unbelievable."

"Amitabha Buddha, if you utter another sarcastic remark, this old Taoist priest will rid the people of this scourge today."

"...If you can't win an argument, you resort to violence? You righteous people are truly shameless!"

In the 20 years since the spiritual energy revival, in addition to the orthodox paths that have been passed down, there have also been demons that have become spirits.

For example... inner demons.

Heaven and earth are not benevolent, and all things are dogs.

It means: Heaven doesn't care whether you are human or not, it won't care whether you are human or not.

Chapter 576: Stewing the Luo Shu made from tortoise shell? ??

"The River Chart and the Luo River Writing. They're complete."

"But speaking of which, Xiao Shi, why did you choose the Luo River as the place for my deification?" After returning home, Chen Luo placed the Xuanyuan Sword in the living room to continue guarding the house, and then went back to the bar to ask the Herrscher of Knowledge.

The main reason is that Yvette, who has a great understanding of the Investiture of the Gods, cannot appear in the real world, so they can only meet in a bar.

“I did a special research to find out how many famous mountains, rivers and streams there are in China. I didn’t find many that fit, like the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers, but if I had to say which one best matches you, I think it would be the Luo River.”

"Although the Yellow River is the most famous, the Luo River sounds better." The person who understands the law has their own set of reasons.

"Well, from a generally rational point of view, it does sound better."

“Yes, yes, so you’re now the Goddess of the Luo River. I think it’s a very nice name, and it matches your name perfectly,” the Herrscher of Knowledge said, blinking.

The person who knows the law truly thinks the name "Goddess of the Luo River" sounds beautiful.

"..." Chen Luo fell silent.

Well, Chen Luo did think that the name Luo Shen was indeed quite nice.

But the problem is, logically speaking, shouldn't Luoshen be a woman?

"Oh well, the name sounds nice anyway, and it matches my name perfectly, so let's just leave it at that. We can't change it now anyway." Chen Luo said, glancing at the items on the table.

There are several items on Chen Luo's table now.

A ring, a seal, two books, and a great deal of faith.

The power of faith is not something everyone can see; at least, those who understand the laws of knowledge cannot. In fact, before Chen Luo became a god, he couldn't see it either.

"This ring does indeed contain a considerable number of spirit stones. There are 10 top-grade spirit stones, 1000 high-grade, 1000 mid-grade, and 10 million low-grade. Moreover, the ring itself is also an excellent storage ring. However, this kind of thing was more valuable in the past when there were no powerful figures who could spare the time to pass down their inheritances. Now, its value is not as high." As Chen Luo's special guest, Yvette began to evaluate the items on the table.

To be honest, there are a lot of spirit stones in this ring.

In the past, during the first 50 years of spiritual revival every thousand years, there was no invasion from the abyss passage, so powerful figures could not come to the real world, nor could they secretly throw spirit stones to their successors. Therefore, every bit of start-up capital was extremely precious.

The spirit stones in this ring, if converted, are equivalent to 40 top-grade spirit stones.

Such a large sum of wealth is indeed enough to recruit soldiers and horses, and it can even be said that it is far ahead of all other forces.

But that was in the past.

Thanks to the Abyss, this great traitor, for providing crucial start-up capital to all forces during the initial period of this 1000-year spiritual revival.

Even so, this is still a huge sum of money.

Yvette, the presiding judge of the Inquisition, war angel, S-class talent, and a potential god, only possesses two top-grade spirit stones.

"The reward for the first conferment of godhood is indeed quite generous." After confirming the amount of spirit stones in her storage ring, Yvette remarked with emotion.

If Chen Luo hadn't appeared, these should have been mine.

Of course, even if Yvette did choose these things, the vast majority of them would still need to be handed over to the church, since the faith comes from the church.

With such a large injection of funds, the church can more easily recruit talented individuals as followers.

"As for this power of faith... it's unpredictable, but it's enormous," Yvette said uncertainly, looking at the mass of faith power.

Yvette can also see the power of faith. Besides being an angel herself, Yvette has also been in close contact with the power of faith for a long time. After all, if a candidate for godhood cannot see the power of faith, what kind of godhood is that?

If Yvette is not mistaken, this massive amount of faith power seems to be even greater than the faith power accumulated by the church over the past 20 years from more than 20 billion believers.

This is probably enough to make someone believe in deification.

Gods who obtain this power of faith can also grow rapidly. Even non-believers can use this power of faith to fight and fulfill the wishes of believers.

To the gods, believers are the most important thing.

In ancient Greece, people would fight tooth and nail for their beliefs.

In Japan, once faith is lost, even the gods may simply disappear.

The key point is that this power of faith is exceptionally pure, which makes it even more rare.

"Sigh, the power of faith is good, but unfortunately this amount of faith power is not even one-third of my reserves. It's really too little." Chen Luo muttered to himself as he looked at the ball of faith power.

"Should I store this power of faith in the Heart of the Wind God or the Heart of the Rock God?" Chen Luo pondered after placing the two Hearts of Gods on the table.

“…I suggest you throw it into the river.” Yvette rolled her eyes at Chen Luo.

Very good. If circumstances allow, Chen Luo can now bestow titles upon four gods of faith.

“That makes sense. I’ll give it a try later. Maybe I can even obtain the power of faith from the original body, the silver power of faith, and the golden power of faith.” Chen Luo nodded, then threw the ball of faith power into his backpack.

"Tsk."

Yvette had always felt that Chen Luo's abilities were outrageous, and she still felt that way now, and they seemed to be getting more and more outrageous.

If Chen Luo's River God power can summon both gold and silver versions of Faith Power... no, Chen Luo's River God power can definitely summon three versions of Faith Power. He can even summon three S-level talents, let alone Faith Power.

The question now is whether the gold and silver versions can exist in the long term after those powers of faith are summoned.
