Their commission was suspicious.

Given that Ritsuki did indeed sacrifice her life to resist the Honkai, Theresa decided to target only Chen Luo.

"No, Dean!"

"No, Aunt Flo."

"Dean, please calm down."

“I think it’s too hasty to exclude Luo from the celebration, and it needs to be discussed carefully.”

Before Chen Luo even needed to refute her, most people, including Theresa's dear niece, began to refute Theresa's idea.

"!!!" Theresa looked incredulously at the people around her pleading for Chen Luo.

There is a traitor among us.

No, there were a lot of traitors.

No, that's not right. If everyone else is a traitor... then I'm the traitor?!

"As expected, Chen Luo, you're plotting to usurp the throne, aren't you!" Theresa instantly understood the situation.

"Are you kidding me? I want to be the headmistress of St. Freya Academy, do I need someone else? Otto!" Chen Luo shouted downstairs.

After a while, Otto brought up a glass of wine and slowly walked up.

"What's wrong? What happened?" Otto asked Chen Luo.

The ultimate weapon against unruly kids—call their parents!

Chapter 741 Xiao Shi, I like you the most!

"I want to be the principal of St. Freya Academy," Chen Luo said, raising his hand.

"Huh? The school supervisor?" Theresa looked at Chen Luo in surprise.

"Hmm, why?" Otto asked, somewhat puzzled.

"The old heavens are dead, the new heavens shall rise! During Theresa's reign, the people suffered and resentment was rampant. I will restore a bright and clear world for the students of St. Freya!" Chen Luo said righteously.

Speak like a human.

"I just want to see Theresa annoyed, but unable to kill me," Chen Luo said.

"Grandpa, no, we can't let Chen Luo become the school supervisor."

The position of school supervisor is generally established in some schools in some Western countries. The supervisor's function is to notify the permanent secretary-general in writing of the suspension of the principal and faculty members, as well as the appointment of academic affairs staff.

In short, they can manage the principal.

“But…” Otto hesitated.

Theresa was indeed his dearest granddaughter, but...

But your grandfather has already given Destiny to Chen Luo, and the St. Freya students are still nominally Destiny's Far East branch, and they receive resources from Destiny, so they are naturally under the control of Destiny headquarters.

"Alright, let's compromise. I won't be the school supervisor, but I'll be the inspector for this celebration. Is that alright?"

Chen Luo personally doesn't like to put others in a difficult position, especially in matters that resemble jokes or playful banter between friends.

"Deal!" Theresa said before Otto could even speak.

Theresa knew what reward Otto had given Chen Luo to help revive Kallen, so she wouldn't go through with a head-on confrontation.

"Phew, you two can joke around all you want, but can't you stop dragging this old man into this? I'm over 500 years old, and I still have to get involved in your arguments." Otto sighed helplessly as the matter was over.

So you're just here to go through the motions?

"What is this thing? What does it do?" Otto, who had come all this way, was bound to gain something, such as knowing what this thing that looked like a statue did.

The statue is so thick that it takes two people to encircle it. On top of the statue is a throne, and on the throne sits a person with a rather arrogant posture.

The other person's posture seemed to say that everyone present was trash.

The god sitting on that throne had a colorful ribbon floating around his body, and the ribbon was filled with stars, much like a galaxy.

And above this person's head is a broken halo.

“Oh, this is a level three teleportation anchor point, a specialized healing teleportation anchor point. You can call it a statue. Standing within a certain range of this statue will grant you instant healing, and subsequent healing will continue gradually. Don’t you feel much better now?” Chen Luo asked.

“Sorry, no, I’m using a Soul Steel body right now.” Otto shook his head.

"No wonder. But why did you switch back to your Soul Steel body?"

"It's tiring. Shopping with girls is really tiring," Otto replied helplessly.

"..."

"Then what deity is on this statue?" Otto asked next.

"River God. The halo above the other person's head is the River God's Ring, and the colorful ribbons floating around the other person's body, dotted with stars, are the Milky Way."

"River God?" Everyone looked at Chen Luo.

“That’s right, it’s me. You should have noticed, just like Sirin, that the figure on this statue looks a lot like me, right?” Chen Luo said, touching the statue next to him.

The overall design of this statue is based on the seven statues of the gods on the continent of Teyvat, and Chen Luo can also adjust his own posture on the statue at will.

"How arrogant! It's unbelievable that you would go so far as to create such a god-like image for yourself," Theresa retorted.

"I think it's very cool." The Herrscher of Knowledge looked up and examined the statue.

“Then your aesthetic sense is indeed very strange,” Theresa said.

Or as the saying goes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

“What can I do? For this idol to be effective, something has to sit on the throne. After all, how can it be called an idol without a god? Moreover, this idol also has the function of collecting faith, and at the same time, it can make it easier for my believers to be resurrected under this idol.”

Perhaps it's a triple combination of the River God's abilities, the teleportation anchor, and the Domination ability. Furthermore, the teleportation anchor's level is too high, at least higher than the Domination ability. Therefore, when Chen Luo revives his puppet under the statue, the consumption is greatly reduced, but it also consumes the healing amount stored in the statue.

The dolls of Chen Luo worship Chen Luo, so they are naturally Chen Luo's followers.

At the same time, since the healing power in the statue is replenished at any time, there is no need to be too frugal.

"Um... I have a question."

"explain."

"You know... don't you think I should get some royalties?" Wendy, who had just been alone on the second floor, asked.

Wendy's love for Windrise is unparalleled. Today, she turned the second floor into Windrise and drank alone there. Then, Wendy saw the huge statue that Chen Luo took out.

Honestly, what's the difference between this and the 7-day statue?

Isn't this exactly the same?

"If that's what you're saying, then shouldn't you pay for my drinks?"

"Haha, I suddenly remembered that the wind in my place of origin hasn't stopped, so I'll go down first. You guys have fun, and remember to call me back up from the first floor when you're done."

After Wendy finished speaking, she immediately left. There was no way she would pay for the drinks; there was no way she would ever pay for them. Wendy didn't have a penny to her name.

"Aro, Aro. Can you help me improve my strength too? I want to become the strongest Valkyrie." Kiana suddenly ran up to Chen Luo and said after Wendy left.

"But isn't Kiana already the strongest Valkyrie in Schicksal?" Chen Luo looked at Kiana with some confusion.

"Huh, really? I'm the strongest Valkyrie now? Do you really think so? Hehe..." Kiana was somewhat surprised.

While it may not be possible to become the strongest Valkyrie in the true sense, it would still be a good experience if it is recognized by those who do.

"I wasn't talking about you."

"Huh? Didn't you say Kiana is the strongest Valkyrie of Schicksal? Wait... I didn't mean this Kiana! I meant I want to become the strongest Valkyrie of Schicksal, don't play word games with me!" Kiana quickly understood what Chen Luo meant, and with her hands on Chen Luo's shoulders, she began to shake his body back and forth.

I mean, I want to become the strongest Valkyrie in Destiny.

I didn't mean to make Durandal (Kiana) the strongest Valkyrie in Schicksal.

What are you doing?

Chen Luo never intended for Durandal to remain silently behind the scenes, unable to even reclaim her name, as that would be too tragic for anyone. But Kiana also needed protection.

Therefore, Chen Luo went to great lengths to tell them the right truth at the right time.

Fortunately, the people around Kiana are kind; they are the kind of people who still care for Kiana and Durandal even after they know their true identities.

Furthermore, with the help of the resurrected Cecilia, Kiana and Durandal's relationship is growing stronger every day.

Sometimes Kiana just can't handle enough intense care.

After all, the grueling training from one's own older sister (or mother) can sometimes be unbearable.

"Alright, alright, stop shaking me. It's impossible for you to become the strongest Valkyrie of Destiny. After all, you've fought Durandal before, and you know how adaptable she is. Plus, she has an entire world to back her up. You can't beat her. At least, you can't beat her by being a Valkyrie."

It's impossible for me to surpass Durandal in this lifetime.

What type of hard-working genius is Durandal?

This doesn't mean that the other person became a genius through their own efforts, but rather that they are both hardworking and talented.

As long as you work hard, you can keep getting stronger. This strength may have an upper limit, but it is clear that you have not yet reached Durandal's upper limit.

But Durandal is incredibly hardworking.

Kiana couldn't beat him even if she tried to fight him head-on.

"Uh, you mean you can let me surpass Durandal through methods that aren't Valkyrie methods?" Kiana keenly noticed the loophole in Chen Luo's words.

"Think of it this way: since you can't become the strongest Valkyrie of Schicksal, then you can become the strongest Herrscher of Schicksal. Since you're both the strongest, what's the difference?" Chen Luo said.

"...It doesn't sound like a bad idea. But it still feels strange."

“You know about the River God’s abilities, right? He can even copy the powers of a Herrscher. So under these conditions, with the combined powers of your original body and the Gold and Silver versions of the Herrscher, becoming the strongest Herrscher of Schicksal would be a piece of cake,” Chen Luo continued.

"Really? Then..."

"Don't get so excited. Let me ask you, how well do you control your Void Sword Qi?" Chen Luo asked.

"Uh... I learned it," Kiana said.

"...That's it?" After waiting for a long time without hearing Kiana mention her study progress, Chen Luo couldn't help but draw out his words.

"That's all." Kiana awkwardly fiddled with her hair.

"Actually, Kiana is making progress in cultivating the Taixu Sword Qi, and she's learning it very quickly. However, it will still take some time to fully master the Taixu Sword Qi," Fu Hua said, offering a fair assessment.

“Then there’s nothing I can do. You can’t fully control the power of the Herrscher of the Void right now, and you haven’t learned the Void Sword Qi to control the Herrscher’s core, so naturally you don’t fully control the Herrscher of the Void’s powers. Therefore, I can’t help you strengthen yourself right now. Otherwise, something bad might happen,” Chen Luo said to Kiana.

The essence of Taixu Sword Qi is a technique that teaches people how to better control the Honkai energy within their bodies. That's why Fu Hua passed on Taixu Sword Qi to Cheng Lixue in order to control the Honkai energy within Cheng Lixue and prevent it from eroding her.

Although Kiana is essentially Sirin in a sense, they are ultimately two consciousnesses within the same body. Kiana's control over the Herrscher of the Void's core is definitely not as strong as Sirin's.

The core of a Lawyer and their powers are two different things.

Just like in the original timeline, after the Herrscher of Knowledge and Fu Hua fought for the body, Fu Hua successfully won back her body, but Xiao Shi took away the Herrscher of Knowledge's powers, while the Herrscher's core remained in Fu Hua's body.

However, Fu Hua, who possesses the Herrscher Core, cannot use it unless she goes to the Herrscher of Knowledge.

Chen Luo wants to use the River God's power to help Kiana evolve to a higher level, which requires Kiana to truly control the power, not just possess the Herrscher core.

Only in this way can the Herrscher's powers be stripped away, thrown into the river, and then strengthened.

A simple evolutionary herrscher core is useless.

“But the Void Sword Qi can’t be mastered overnight; it’s very difficult to learn,” Kiana sighed.

After experiencing a major life change and realizing she was no longer herself, Kiana's pursuit of power, while not reaching an extreme, still yearned for the ability to protect herself and her family.

Realizing in an instant that you're actually an orphan, not a member of this family, would make anyone mature a bit, wouldn't it?

Kiana is like that now.

Although he hadn't experienced the life-and-death separation of the future, he was no longer impulsive and began to seriously study the various practical and theoretical courses of Valkyrie.

Separation from her family, finding her parents, realizing she is not Kiana, yet still being accepted by those around her... the whole process is like a catalyst, like forcing Kiana to grow too fast.

But Kiana did withstand it.

Compared to the past, Kiana has become more patient and, under Durandal's guidance, is overcoming some of her past weaknesses one by one.

Durandal once walked this path. Before the age of 12, Durandal had the same problems as Kiana now, after all, they are mother and daughter. But Durandal overcame these problems and is now passing on her experience to Kiana.

“Actually, it’s not impossible to achieve it all at once… Never mind, never mind what I said. You should just stick to learning the Taixu Sword Qi.” Chen Luo shook his head.

"Hey, don't leave it half-said! Just say what you want to say!" Kiana quickly pressed.
