Their commission was suspicious.

This is especially important.

The Heavenly Emperor originally thought Chen Luo was a gifted individual with unparalleled talent, but who among those present wasn't a genius?

But now perhaps we should also add the title of "outlier".

Chapter 736 Chen Luo: Get lost!

After discussions in the Immortal Realm meeting room, Chen Luo agreed to help the powerful figures with lineages in the mortal realm pass on some spirit stones, magical artifacts, and secret manuals, and promised not to peek at them.

Although others said that there was no problem with peeking, as long as the highest level of martial arts techniques could not be seen, the rest could be considered as payment.

Furthermore, the Heavenly Emperor also told Chen Luo that if Chen Luo didn't mind, he could perhaps help other pantheons, since the places where other pantheons reside also have rivers to some extent.

It's no longer a matter of gods fighting each other; it's a competition between planes of existence.

They were just competitors, not mortal enemies.

This is more like an arms race, because besides the Abyss Plane and Chen Luo's Main Plane, which are almost the highest level planes, there are countless smaller planes.

However, the Heavenly Emperor also suggested that Chen Luo charge them "one" more when collecting their money.

After all, even different cities within the same country can compete with each other.

In short, the Heavenly Emperor and the people in the Immortal Realm meeting room were all intelligent and knew the importance of someone who could travel back and forth between the mortal and immortal realms.

More importantly, the other party is the River God.

As gods, this also signifies an immortality that is virtually impossible for the opponent to break.

Even if the opponent's strength hasn't grown yet, they still possess endless potential.

After all, the information that has been confirmed so far is that the other party is an SS-level talent user.

Perhaps the position of River God cannot prove the other party's strength, but an SS-level talent can.

Even though this talent might be a support talent, it shouldn't be underestimated.

In addition to these items, Chen Luo also received a storage ring with an extremely large capacity as a friendly gift from the Pavilion Master of the Divine Artifact Pavilion.

However, it will take three days for the items that need to be transferred and the storage ring to arrive.

Chen Luo will also need to come over at that time.

"Well, that's pretty much it. We've finished discussing everything. Is there anything else to add?" the Heavenly Emperor asked.

"Uh, well, I'd like to ask a question," Chen Luo suddenly raised his hand.

"Please speak."

"Is there anyone here who is a patriarch or sect leader of Mount Shu, Kunlun, or Penglai?"

"What is it?" asked one of the immortals directly opposite Chen Luo.

"That's right. There's a disciple who was accepted as a student by the three major sword cultivation sects at the same time. Her master asked me to help her get more sword cultivation manuals, saying that Su Yuan has already read all the sword cultivation manuals from Shu Mountain, Penglai, and Kunlun."

"Understood, thank you for the reminder. I'll wait a moment afterward, then I'll go back and collect the manual. As expected of a sword immortal, you learn incredibly fast." After nodding, the person logged off swiftly.

"Wow, that was fast. I haven't finished yet. Who left this time?" Chen Luo turned to ask the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion.

"The ancestor of Penglai".

"Oh, that's alright then. May I ask who the sect leader or elder of Mount Shu is?" Chen Luo asked again.

"Me," the person sitting next to Chen Luo raised their hand.

"What's wrong? Is something the matter?"

"Well... it seems that Su Yuan's master is investigating my true identity. I'd like you to write a letter to ask them to stop the investigation," Chen Luo said to the Taoist priest next to him.

"Understood, I'll give her a good scolding right away." The Taoist nodded.

"Um, actually there's no need to scold..."

"He deserves to be scolded."

"Then scold them harder," Chen Luo suggested.

"no problem."

Thank you.

"You're welcome. By the way, do you want to curse me via voice message or by letter?" the Taoist asked.

"Can I choose both?" Chen Luo replied.

"can."

After the matter was settled, the Heavenly Emperor spoke again.

"Alright, things have been discussed and cleared up. Everyone, please disperse."

After saying that, the Heavenly Emperor logged off immediately, as if he had something urgent to attend to.

Immediately afterwards, all the gods who had been disguised as 3D projections in special colors and appeared in the celestial conference room also went offline.

Chen Luo waited quietly, and after a while, the four people walked around the conference room to Chen Luo's side.

"Here you go. This is the seal for controlling the Heavenly Prison, along with instructions on how to use it. With this, you can directly gain the highest authority over the Heavenly Prison and then relocate it. You can keep this seal for now, and return it to me when you're done using it," said Jin Yang Zhenren, the master of the Heavenly Prison.

Master Jinyang wasn't afraid at all that Chen Luo would abscond with the money, since he had the highest authority over the seal.

This is a magical treasure that he has already completely refined. If it were to be taken away again, Jin Yang Zhenren might as well just leave the group.

To seize or refine another's magical treasure, one's cultivation level must be at least higher than the other party's, or one must possess rare and precious materials that specialize in this area.

"Understood." Chen Luo nodded, then placed it into the storage medium in his hand for only a second.

"Aren't you going to try it out right now?" Master Jinyang was taken aback.

"I'm confident in my ability to use the equipment; I just need to practice more," Chen Luo said.

"Yes, it's good to be confident. If you can't use it, just come find me when you come to the Immortal Realm in a few days, and I'll teach you then." Jin Yang Zhenren didn't mind.

Chen Luo isn't limited to coming to the Immortal Realm only once. It's good that the other party has confidence, so there's no need to undermine their confidence.

"..."

Chen Luo wasn't confident; he was afraid that if the magic seal stayed in his hand for even a few more seconds, it might no longer belong to the other party.

How about becoming an expert in furniture?

In a sense, being proficient in furniture is the nemesis of any weapon.

"These are the suitable sword cultivation methods that our three sects have temporarily gathered together. It's just that the time was too short, so there wasn't enough time. We will be fully prepared next time we come."

"This is a letter I wrote myself and a jade slip containing my voice transmission. You can give these to Su Yuan's master later." The leader of Shu Mountain also handed the two items to Chen Luo.

"Then let's do it in three days. Within three days, you will hand over the appropriate sword cultivation methods to me. After three days, I will hand over these cultivation methods, along with the belongings of the other old immortals with lineages in the lower realm that I have collected, and the compensation that the River God should receive, to the River God." The Heavenly Mystery Elder remained seated next to Chen Luo without leaving.

Perhaps because the Old Man of Heavenly Secrets was sitting right next to Chen Luo, or perhaps because he was the most well-informed, the Old Man of Heavenly Secrets was responsible for collecting the items, including but not limited to things that Chen Luo needed to pass on, as well as the faith power that needed to be compensated to Chen Luo, and so on.

After all, the items that need to be sent to the lower realm need to be carefully selected, and it is impossible to gather them all in the time it takes to hold a meeting.

"Around this time, three days from now, have someone throw a high-value item into the river. I will sense it and then appear."

"Then I'll take my leave. I've sensed someone throwing something into the river on Earth." Chen Luo cupped his hands in greeting to the people present and then vanished from the spot in an instant.

……

"How are you feeling?" Chen Luo asked Xiao Shi after returning home.

"These people don't seem as old as I imagined? And that Heavenly Emperor seems to have a pretty youthful mindset," said the Herald of Knowledge.

As the Lawgiver of Knowledge said, few of the gods who revealed their true forms were old men.

Of course, it's also possible that those old men, or the real big shots, like Fuxi, were hiding or simply didn't come.

The Lawbringer of Knowledge watched the entire process from within Chen Luo's sea of ​​consciousness.

In fact, the most likely scenario is that when Chen Luo's main body arrives at the Celestial Realm conference room, the Herrscher of Consciousness is observed by the powerful figures present when she looks out through Chen Luo's eyes, and they then take action themselves.

The problem is that Chen Luo struck a blow to all the gods present as soon as he appeared, causing them to disconnect, cough up blood, and no one dared to use their spiritual power to probe Chen Luo anymore.

This resulted in the Lawbringer of Consciousness remaining safely in Chen Luo's sea of ​​consciousness and witnessing the entire process.

Quickly, say thank you, Xuanyuan Sword.

“But shouldn’t you be moving the Heavenly Prison now? Why have you been waiting so long and he still hasn’t gone?” asked the Herald of Knowledge.

"Of course, it's to create a disguise. After all, just because someone throws something into the river doesn't mean it's from within China, right? Besides, that Master Jinyang isn't in a hurry. We can use this prison incident to solve a problem that's been piling up for a long time." Chen Luo said, taking out the magic seal given to him by Master Jinyang.

"I gained a lot this time. For example, they didn't mind me visiting a lot of cultivation techniques. Although I feel that I'm not following that path, the accumulation of knowledge is really wonderful," Chen Luo continued.

"However, the question posed by the Heavenly Emperor was very problematic... I have a feeling that the Heavenly Emperor is not simple at all," Chen Luo said, stroking his chin.

"You mean that question about the river of time?" The Herald of Knowledge instantly understood.

“That’s right, how could a normal person associate this with the River of Time?” Chen Luo said, somewhat puzzled, as he summoned the River of Time.

"Why do you care about this? You'd be better off caring about the advancement path between SS-level and SSS-level talents that the other party mentioned."

"There's no need to worry about that. Anyway, my talent isn't normal either, and the source of my talent isn't normal either. And don't forget that my talent isn't S-rank, nor SS-rank, nor SSS-rank."

Chen Luo always felt that the Herrscher of Knowledge seemed to have forgotten that her original talent was an Ex-rank talent.

"To be honest, I'm quite curious to see what the Abyss Plane is like. Is it all black around us, with a blood-red sun hanging in the sky?" Xiao Shi said.

"It's not that exaggerated. But speaking of the Abyss Plane, I really didn't expect that I would end up becoming a middleman, and directly dragging the rise and fall of China and even the entire plane onto my shoulders. Isn't that a bit too heavy a burden?" Chen Luo complained.

No one knows what happened, but Chen Luo became a key figure in helping the main plane win the competition against the abyss plane.

To be honest, perhaps because he had browsed too many worlds, Chen Luo felt a little strange about the competition between different planes in his main world.

Chen Luo's feelings may be different from those of others.

Perhaps because he had seen too many real otherworlds, Chen Luo's perspective was different.

Liu Wenxuan and his group tend to view the Abyss Plane from the perspective of their own plane and by using the positioning of their competitors.

Chen Luo, on the other hand, tends to take a God-like perspective, observing the relationship between the Abyss and the Prime Material Plane from the perspective of the entire world.

Chen Luo was pondering what the collision between the Abyss Plane and the Prime Plane truly represented from the perspective of the entire world.

Chen Luo eventually came to a conclusion.

That is the relationship between the two, perhaps similar to that between Gaia and Alaya in the Type-Moon universe.

Gaia and Alaya can coexist, but if one goes to extremes, a life-or-death struggle must be decided.

Even so, in most parallel worlds, Alaya and Gaia coexist peacefully for the time being.

A plane should have its own consciousness, just like the Heavenly Dao mentioned by the Heavenly Emperor and the Heavenly Punishment that the other party has just received.

Heavenly punishment likely represents the meaning of the Way of Heaven.

Just as Alaya is the subconscious mind of humankind, so in order to ensure the normal survival of humankind, the Heavenly Way is the collective consciousness of this world.

There may be even higher existences above the Heavenly Dao, just as there is a Root existence above Alaya and Gaia.

Of course, Chen Luo wasn't foolish enough to believe that the Abyss Plane was some kind of benevolent race that could maintain peaceful coexistence without harming each other. After all, their initial goal in clashing with this world was to conquer it, wasn't it?

The conflict between the two sides still exists, but it is not insurmountable.

Just like before the concept of planes was known, Chen Luo's main plane was developing well, wasn't it? There were no world-destroying crises or anything like that, only a major calamity that would occur every 1000 years.

However, this great calamity is not necessarily a bad thing for the entire plane. Every 1000 years, there is a rise and fall, and in the first 50 years of the millennium, newcomers are free from any constraints and can grow freely without worrying about being exploited, coerced, or suppressed by the old powers. This can make the entire plane more prosperous and may even give rise to a new system.

Fifty years later, those imprisoned in various blessed lands and small worlds will be released to jointly manage the entire plane. This will also correct the mistakes made by the new powers during the past 50 years in developing the world.

Moreover, besides the existence of Earth itself, the vast universe is also an object of exploration.

According to the Heavenly Emperor, the entire universe is indeed vast and boundless, with great potential for development, so there is no need to fight to the death with the Abyss Plane.

In other planets or galaxies of the universe, there exist beings as powerful as the Heavenly Emperor.

Therefore, it would be foolish to fight to the death with the Abyss Dimension.

However, it is necessary to gain partial control over the Abyss Passage, since the Abyss Passage's output consists of things from other dimensions that even some ancient beings find very interesting.

Even to those beings skilled in dimensional travel, the Abyss Plane was not fully explored; they might have only glimpsed a small corner of the world. Therefore, they had little intention of waging war.

Who knows if other entities of the same highest level will emerge in the future?

When neither side can defeat the other, wouldn't it be a better approach to explore other smaller planes and continuously strengthen themselves?
