Their commission was suspicious.

Staying at the root of the problem is not something to be happy about at all.

It's not a pleasant thing either.

Those monsters that are born connected to the Root or become connected to the Root later in life are special cases, and Chen Luo understood this deeply.

In addition to the physical and spiritual pain, the constant echo of the Primal Stone-100's voice continued to torment Chen Luo's spirit.

Under the triple torment, Chen Luo almost couldn't hold on.

Especially the latter.

I stayed in the source for 120 seconds, and the voice rang out every 5 seconds, for a total of 24 times.

They deducted a full 2400 raw stones from Chen Luo!

Chen Luo almost fainted.

Fortunately, Chen Luo can be resurrected using the River God's power without consuming resurrection items; otherwise, Chen Luo would have suffered an even greater loss.

"Then why do you look so weak?" the Herald of Knowledge asked quickly.

"Well, on the one hand, it's because the physical body was completely obliterated, and the soul suffered so much pain that it became exhausted. On the other hand, it's because the resurrection was not done through resurrection tools, but through the power of the river god, which caused the weakness."

The soul is weakened by the pain it suffers, and this weakness is compounded by the resurrection brought about by the power of the river god.

Moreover, whether it was Chen Luo's imagination or not, when his physical body completely perished and transformed into a soul, and he was about to be reborn through the River God's power, at the very moment of death and rebirth, his entire soul seemed to be violently struck.

"But don't worry. The weakness caused by the River God's power will recover after a while."

Chen Luo was resurrected using the River God's power, which included his physical body. Before the resurrection, his body had undergone complete annihilation, which is why he was weak for a short time.

If energy is replenished, this time will be further shortened.

"And I need to get used to the feeling of weakness and powerlessness that comes from spending so much time at the root of the problem."

There was nothing that could be done about it. Chen Luo's soul was not damaged at all; the primordial stone had protected him well. However, the pain would still cause a feeling of weakness.

At the same time, the moment Chen Luo's soul was completely exposed to the source, it was as if the source was giving Chen Luo's soul a thorough treatment.

Of course, the last second of the opposite of the original stone deduction is as high as 600.

The two minutes spent in the source actually cost Chen Luo a total of 3000 raw stones.

Most importantly, Chen Luo hasn't felt any special changes in himself yet, nor has he gained anything special.

"He actually returned from the source..." Tokiomi Tohsaka looked at Chen Luo in disbelief.

Applying this to magicians means that after a period of consolidation, they could become magicians.

That's generally true.

Magicians returning from the source will undergo earth-shattering changes, wielding the power of miracles (magic) to dominate the world, and power, money, and beautiful women will all be within their grasp.

"So, Alo, have you acquired any [magic]?" the Herrscher of Knowledge asked curiously.

When the Lawgiver of Knowledge asked this question, everyone turned their gaze to him.

"Uh, I don't even have magic circuits, where am I supposed to get magic from? But I have a lot of gains, and I'm currently organizing them," Chen Luo said, shaking his head.

Magic is a wondrous power that can only be fully effective in this world.

But Chen Luo doesn't even have a magic circuit.

Of course, it doesn't mean that you can't gain anything or possess magic if you don't have a magic circuit.

The main reason is that Chen Luo does have a lot of magical knowledge, but not much of it is related to magic in this world.

However, it's impossible to say that there was absolutely no gain.

Let's set aside the fact that we haven't yet figured out why we need to die once at the root of all things.

However, Chen Luo's "Knowledge of Euthinus" has indeed absorbed a sufficient amount of information and knowledge.

In any case, all the experiences and insights gained from going to the source have been accumulated in Chen Luo's [knowledge]. If Chen Luo truly accumulates enough knowledge in the future, coupled with these insights from the source, he might actually be able to become a magician.

"Hey, Gemstone, right? Aren't you a mage too? How long did you stay at the Root?" Chen Luo asked Zelrich, who had been standing silently beside him, while supporting himself with one hand on the Herrscher of Knowledge.

"You... stayed deep in the source for two minutes and you're still alive? Wasn't your soul sucked away?" Zelrich asked with some doubt.

How do you stay deep in the roots for two minutes?

An ordinary magician's soul would be sucked away the moment he came into contact with the Root.

This is not rooted in malice towards magicians, but rather the inevitable result of touching the "sun" with a human body.

Moreover, how could you escape from the very depths of your being, even after your physical body has died?

Zelrich found the incident unbelievable.

"Haha, I can tell you probably haven't been here as long as I have, cough cough cough..." But Chen Luo started coughing again right after he finished laughing.

Being too complacent can lead to a disaster; this happens to everyone at least once.

Chen Luo's face was pale, and he looked exactly like a sickly person. Chen Luo didn't even need to pretend anymore; he could now act as a doctor who had been attacked and hadn't recovered in the previous civilization.

The main reason is that Chen Luo's weakness seems to emanate from within, making people believe it without a doubt.

Sometimes Chen Luo doubted whether the protection he provided, which required spending 100 primal stones every 5 seconds, was truly effective in protecting his soul.

Or does it mean that this only prevents one's mind from being distorted and harmed, but does not defend the soul itself?

In short, it was extremely uncomfortable.

"Looking at you like this, I feel like I could punch you and make you whine," Yukari Yakumo said, looking at Chen Luo, who was being supported by the Herrscher of Consciousness.

"Oh? Is that so?" Chen Luo drawled out his voice.

"I think we should give it a try." Yukari Yakumo was eager to try.

"Alright. I'll only fire one shot." Chen Luo leaned against the Herrscher of Knowledge, then expressionlessly pulled out a revolver with his left hand.

"...I'm sorry, I was wrong." Yukari Yakumo quickly admitted defeat.

Yakumo Yukari almost forgot that Chen Luo, besides being a skill-based player, is also, more importantly, an item-based player.

Or perhaps it's more terrifying that Chen Luo is a player who relies on item-based strategies.

They can make you teeter between pain and pleasure without damaging your friendship.

However, Yukari Yakumo has to admit that Chen Luo's current weak aura, emanating from within, really makes people feel that she has an urge to bully him.

"You really haven't obtained magic yet? I feel like your whole body is tainted with the aura of the Root." Zelrich asked with some disbelief.

Zelrich had seen the Root with his own eyes and had even entered it, so he naturally understood some of the Root's essence.

Now, Chen Luo's entire body is filled with the aura of the origin.

“I really don’t have magic. I’ve already said it, I don’t even have magic circuits,” Chen Luo said.

“But even so, you possess the Third Law, don’t you?” Zelrich countered.

Zelrich could tell that Chen Luo possessed the Third Law.

Since Chen Luo already possesses a third magic without magic circuits, why say that Chen Luo cannot possess other magic?

Zelrich expressed his doubts about this.

"I do possess the third magic, but I am not familiar with other magics. Perhaps I will be able to possess unique magics in the future, but not now."

To possess one's own magic, one must first have a unique path in the achievement of magic, or at least be a mature magician.

The second step is to access the root cause once and return safely from it.

Many magicians met the first requirement, but Chen Luo did not. This is because Chen Luo studied magic from another world and didn't know much about the magic of this world.

The second requirement is something that most magicians have never experienced, but Chen Luo met it.

So when Chen Luo accumulates enough power, he might actually be able to possess his own magic.

However, this kind of magic may only be usable in the Moon World.

If you want to make a conceptual change, it might cost a lot of money.

"Zelrich, would you like to go into the bar?" Chen Luo asked Zelrich, pointing to the bar.

“Very interested.” Zelrich nodded.

"So you want to travel to another world, not a parallel world?" Chen Luo asked again.

“Very interested,” Zelrich said.

While countless parallel worlds certainly possess their own unique charm, the allure of other worlds is even more tempting for Zelrich to study.

Having traveled to countless worlds, I am even more curious about worlds beyond my own.

"Then... let me touch the gem sword, and I'll let you in." Chen Luo revealed his intentions.

"A jeweled sword? Of course." Upon hearing Chen Luo's request, Zelrich smiled and, without asking Chen Luo for any guarantees, directly pulled out a sword that shimmered with countless facets and threw it at Chen Luo.

Jewel Sword – the pinnacle of Mystic Codes with a function limited to second magic!

It can share and use the great source of magic from an infinite number of parallel worlds.

Tokiomi Tohsaka's eyes lit up when he saw the short sword.

The head of the Tohsaka family, Tohsaka Nagato, was a disciple of Zelrich, but he was just an ordinary student who only received some guidance.

As homework left by that master, it was the design blueprint for the Jewel Sword (although it was believed that Tohsaka could never do it).

From then on, completing the jeweled sword became a task for successive heads of the Tohsaka family.

Tokiomi Tohsaka was thrilled to see the item he had studied for so long, which had yielded no results, suddenly appear before him.

But for Zelrich, the jeweled sword was not an extremely valuable item.

Chen Luo simply swung the gem sword twice before returning it to Ze'er.

"I'll give it to you if you want it," Zelrich said regarding the return of the jeweled sword.

Zelrich was generous enough to hand over the jeweled sword design to his ordinary student without hesitation.

"No need," Chen Luo shook his head.

Immediately afterwards, the next second, a gem-encrusted sword identical to the one from before appeared in Chen Luo's hand.

Yes, exactly the same.

It's not a one-time use item, but the kind that can be used permanently, and its rank doesn't drop as a result.

"Ah, is this one of the perks?" Chen Luo was surprised as he looked at the gem sword in his hand.

Having spent so much time in the Root, and even died once, Chen Luo was unsure of what he had gained.

However, at least when using the Void Treasury Projection Gem Sword, Chen Luo used the magical power of the projected one-time gem sword, but what was copied was the true gem sword.

This unexpected discovery surprised Chen Luo. He immediately copied a blood-red Gungnir, wanting to test the newly added function.

Chen Luo wanted to see if copying all items could achieve this effect, or if it was only possible to copy the specialties of the Moon World.

Immediately afterwards, the blood-red Gungnir was projected, and at the same time, Chen Luo felt that he had only consumed the magic power to copy the Gungnir once, but had obtained a non-one-time Gungnir.

Experiment successful!

The Gungnir replicated by Chen Luo was indeed of far superior quality to the one-time use version. It couldn't be said that it was completely different from the complete version, but the difference wasn't significant.

It can be used many times before it gets worn out.

It seems that using the Void Archives to copy items from the Moon World is more effective, but when copying items from other worlds, the effect is not as good, but it is still many times better than usual.

If such a blessing is present, then spending 3000 Primogems on this journey to the source is not a bad deal.

“Your primal aura has suddenly disappeared a little, but only a little, almost imperceptible,” Zelrich suddenly said.

"Huh?" Chen Luo was taken aback.

"Did I disappear while I was copying Gungnir?" Chen Luo asked.

“That’s right.” Zelrich nodded.

"..." It seems that it was that [aura of the origin] that caused Chen Luo to reduce the amount of magic power he needed when using the Void Archives to copy items.

If that's the case, I feel like I'm getting the short end of the stick.

"Did it disappear when I copied your gem sword?" Chen Luo then asked.

“No.” Zelrich shook his head.

"Then I think I understand."
