Their commission was suspicious.

“Yes, that’s right.” Chen Luo nodded.

"Could the second method be applied to the Sea of ​​Quanta?"

"No." Chen Luo knew it wouldn't work without even needing Zelrich to conduct the experiment.

Let alone Zelrich's second magic, even Merlin's clairvoyance is almost useless in this world.

The second method involves parallel worlds.

Parallel worlds do indeed exist in the Honkai world.

For example, when Su was using the Second Divine Key to observe other worlds, he discovered another version of a parallel world.

In that parallel world, Su is a woman, and this female Su uses her abilities to pull all the people on Earth into an illusion.

The female Su was much stronger than Su, and even noticed Su's observation. If Su hadn't run fast, he might have been caught by the female Su.

That's why Su left a scar on his arm, a scar left by the Black Abyss White Flower.

If Su's body is indeed possessed by some special being, then the user of the Black Abyss White Flower can extend this scar to Su's entire body, thus preventing the intruder from wreaking havoc on this world by killing Su's physical body.

"Although I can feel the world's rejection of me even without saying anything, the compatibility gap between worlds is so huge that it seems that traveling to another world is indeed very dangerous," Zelrich remarked.

"That's right, I often tell people in bars that traveling through the world is really dangerous."

"Water is essential for fish, but it is also extremely deadly for machines, causing them to rust and short-circuit."

"How about we make a bet? Chen Luo will definitely use this world as a negative example," the Herrscher of Knowledge said, leaning closer to Dan Zhu Cangxuan.

“I bet Chen Luo will absolutely whip this world to death,” Dan Zhu said.

"Add 1"

"Tch, a betting game can't stand without a wager."

"Take the collapse of this world, for example. It could be fatal to ordinary people. If I hadn't had the Eye of God, I probably would have been back home within 10 seconds of arriving in this world," Chen Luo said.

"...See, they're really whipping a corpse." The Herrscher of Knowledge sighed.

"Ahem." Chen Luo was a little embarrassed by what the Herald of Knowledge said.

However, it cannot be denied that Honkai Impact 3rd serves as the best negative example.

"Anyway, I'll equip that magical girl Teriri with a second magic first. Whether it works or not depends on fate," Zelrich said.

"Okay." Chen Luo nodded.

Chen Luo did not reject the proposal, because he was thinking that if the Second Mage alone was not enough to cross the world on the Imaginary Tree and the world bubble in the Quantum Sea, what about adding the Quantum Holy Mark?

To be precise, it's the knowledge within the Quantum Stigmata.

If that doesn't work, then how about adding the Herrscher Core of the Second Herrscher?

In short, this knowledge is not suitable for Zelrich; it would be better for Chen Luo to modify it himself after the enemy's armor is manufactured.

"Alright, can we go now? It's already 11:30, time to go eat. After eating, we can go beat up Yakumo Yukari. After beating up Yakumo Yukari, we can take a nap and wait for the stage play. After the stage play, we can beat up Yakumo Yukari again," suggested the Herrscher of Knowledge.

Eat, sleep, and beat up Yakumo Yukari.

"You guys go ahead, I'm really not hungry," Chen Luo said.

Those who have the energy to stroll through the St. Freya Academy Festival should not be hungry, since there is not much else but food at the St. Freya Academy Festival. On the contrary, the Herrscher of Knowledge, Fu Hua, Kiana and others who have been rehearsing should have used up a lot of energy.

"Then what are you going to do? You can't just stay here forever, can you?" said the Herald of Knowledge.

"I'm going home for a bit, and I'll pick up Xiaoyuan and Yunxia while I'm at it," Chen Luo said.

Su Yuan and Yun Xia must have taken some time to go to the Abyss Passage in Xinghai City to place a teleportation anchor for Chen Luo, so they didn't come.

Liu Wenxuan and Yun Lian'er, these two idle people, accepted the invitation and came to the Honkai World, but Chen Luo didn't meet them.

It was quite unexpected that Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu, while showing Chen Luo around the celebration, ended up leading him to the Equipment R&D Department.

The Herald of Knowledge expressed his understanding of Chen Luo's absence this time, since Chen Luo had entrusted Su Yuan to place the teleportation anchor point, and now he should naturally compensate him.

At the very least, you should bring everyone along to have fun.

Chen Luo used the teleportation anchor point to arrive at his living room, where two people were already slumped on the sofa in the same position.

"Can you two sit up straight?" Chen Luo said, his face darkening as he looked at Su Yuan and Yun Xia.

Chen Luo returned home after receiving feedback from the toy dolls he had arranged in his house.

"And don't lead Xiao Yuan astray," Chen Luo said to Yun Xia.

"Hmm... Is it possible that she corrupted me?" Yun Xia said, even she herself didn't believe it.

"Hmm?" Chen Luo suddenly frowned.

"What's wrong?" Yunxia asked.

"You two go to the bar first. The dinner party will probably take place there later. After that, have a few people show you around St. Freya Academy. I suddenly have something to take care of."

"What is it?"

"Although I don't know why, I sensed that a large mass of faith power had fallen into the river in the West. And it should be the faith power of the church."

Chen Luo usually keeps the alerts active for high-quality items falling into the river. Now, quite coincidentally, he received this alert.

"The power of faith? Falling into the river? This must be a trap to lure you in, right?" Yunxia said.

“But I can’t ignore the power of faith. The fact that the power of fate didn’t give me a warning shouldn’t be a bad thing. You guys go to the bar first, I’ll be right back.”

Feeling the call from the river, Chen Luo disappeared from the spot.

Chapter 751 Who killed Yvette?

"Young Pope, did you drop this ball of golden faith power? Or this ball of silver faith power? Or this ordinary ball of faith power that seems to have a connection with me?" Chen Luo, with a halo above his head and his body enveloped in light, emerged from the river, with three balls of faith power floating in front of him.

Standing in front of Chen Luo was an elderly man with slightly gray hair, dressed in papal robes.

On either side of the old man, Chen Luo saw a cardinal from Xinghai City whom he had glimpsed a long, long time ago, and a white-haired woman he did not recognize. Because she was wearing a mask, Chen Luo could not see what she looked like.

Although he didn't know what the other person looked like, Chen Luo knew that the other person was an angel, because Chen Luo's feet were already starting to stir.

"I choose... the ordinary power of faith." The pope pointed to the power of faith in the very center after Chen Luo came out.

"Very good, you are very honest. I'll reward you with a verbal compliment." Chen Luo nodded in satisfaction and then pocketed all three clusters of faith power.

"..."

"Don't look so stiff. You summoned me because you need something or want to kill me. In any case, I should at least pay for my journey, right?" Chen Luo said after putting away his faith power.

"And you guys are really outrageous, actually digging a river right in front of the church." Chen Luo complained, looking at the newly dug, makeshift "river" that was only about a meter wide at his feet.

Behind the three was a pure white, pointed-roof church, which was extremely close to the river where Chen Luo was. Chen Luo could sense the church's extraordinary nature; the newly dug "river" in front of it was clearly a precaution against Chen Luo.

“Lord River God, we have given you that ball of faith power. But we have no ill intentions in coming to you this time,” the Pope said.

"Judging from your attire, you must be the Pope, right?"

“That’s right.” The old man nodded.

"But to be honest, your posture doesn't give me any sense of security at all, especially with that angel watching me like a hawk," Chen Luo said, pointing to the angel beside him.

"Oh, you can tell she's an angel? She's never revealed herself before."

"Please, I'm a river god, can't you show me some respect? Okay, that's not the point. The point is, why did you call me here?" Chen Luo didn't want to discuss too many irrelevant things with the other party.

“Of course, before that, I want to know how much you know about me so that I can make a deal with you later,” Chen Luo continued.

Chen Luo felt no aversion towards the church member in front of him, even though the other party was the Pope.

Although Chen Luo had a very negative impression of the church because of Yvette, now that Yvette is kneeling on a keyboard every day, Chen Luo can't get angry anymore.

Furthermore, the Heavenly Emperor had also told Chen Luo to remember to cooperate with the Western pantheon.

Now is not the time for infighting when facing the Abyss Plane.

However, given that Yvette from the opposing camp had indeed brought Chen Luo a fatal crisis, Chen Luo decided to raise the price "a little".

I always felt that the church and Chen Luo were inherently incompatible.

Because Chen Luo lost an S-level angel talent, and this angel talent was the first candidate for the God-Making Project.

It's too awful.

However, considering the considerable amount of faith power they had just thrown out, Chen Luo decided to listen to what they wanted to ask.

"It's probably because... you went to the Celestial Realm and then came down." After a moment's consideration, the Pope decided to tell Chen Luo the truth.

There's no point in hiding it from the River God himself, since the information he knows is based on the River God's own experiences.

“Good heavens, I just came down from the Immortal Realm yesterday and shared the information with Ye Yunshang. You guys already know about it today? China's internal problems are quite serious.” Chen Luo said, stroking his chin.

When Chen Luo discussed the matter with Ye Yunshang, he did not hide the fact that he obtained the secret manual through time travel rather than through the Immortal Realm Conference, or rather, he could not hide it at all.

If information from the upper realm is obtained through the Immortal Realm Conference, at most the other party will pass on sword techniques to Chen Luo, who will then write them down from memory. It is impossible to obtain physical objects as well. In fact, Chen Luo even took a jade slip and a letter specifically to criticize Ye Yunshang.

"Of course, I have no intention of judging what impact this matter will have on me. But since you know that I can travel freely between the Immortal Realm, why did you call me here?" Chen Luo asked.

“We would like you to go to the Celestial Realm. If the opportunity arises,” the Pope said, bowing slightly.

"We are willing to pay a certain price for this."

"for example?"

"If the higher realms are willing to provide us with some resources to enhance our exploration of the abyss passage, we will pay you a satisfactory reward. There's no need to worry about that."

"And there's no need to worry about us breaking our promise. At this point in time when we are separated by death, you are definitely a strategic partner who can travel back and forth between different worlds. We will not cut off the supply that we may receive in the future for the sake of short-term gains."

In short, the church isn't stupid; it won't do one-off deals.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

[Heavenly Support]: The church was able to contact Heaven and obtain its agreement to help transport supplies.

Rewards: 500 Primogems + 20 points of overall church member favorability + church reputation level increases by one stage.

Difficulty: 3 stars

"That's not impossible, but as you probably know, I can only appear in that river when someone throws things into it. Does heaven have a river?"

“There are rivers, of course,” the Pope nodded.

"And if you want me to help you, you have to share the coordinates of Heaven with me. Otherwise, with so many places around the world where people throw things into rivers every day, I simply can't take care of it all."

“Now I can choose to only accept summons from high-quality items that have fallen into the river, but you can’t guarantee that everything that falls into the river in Heaven will be a high-quality item. So I need to specify the location,” Chen Luo said.

"...Yes." The Pope hesitated for a moment before nodding.

The church contains a map of the location of Heaven left behind by the angels of Heaven when they descended to earth; the coordinates on the map are somewhat blurry.

Although this is highly confidential, it is not an insurmountable price to pay if it can establish a connection with the upper realm.

"You also need to give me a token, otherwise I'm afraid I'll be mistaken for an invading enemy once I go up there," Chen Luo said.

“This has already been prepared.” The Pope said, gesturing to the cardinal beside him.

The cardinal nodded and took out an item from his storage ring.

"This is..." Chen Luo was somewhat surprised.

"The angel's feathers, only ten of them are preserved in the deepest part of the church. They are healing relics left behind when the angels descended to earth, but unfortunately only three remain now. These can be used as tokens of identity," the Pope said.

"It seems there's still quite a bit of faith power on it," Chen Luo said, examining the feather as he took it from the reluctant cardinal.

"...Your Excellency River God, if possible, please do not take the power of faith from this feather. If you urgently need the power of faith, we can offer a portion of the Church's accumulated power of faith as a reward after you successfully communicate with the upper realm. Moreover, if possible, please guarantee the safe existence of this angel's feather," the Pope said with some hesitation.

It's clear that the Pope values ​​this angel feather very much; he wouldn't have taken it out if it weren't for its purpose of serving as a token to gain the trust of the angels in the upper realm.

“Since you used honorifics with me, I promise I won’t take the power of faith from this feather, and I guarantee its safety,” Chen Luo said.

Chen Luo was quite pleased that the other party, as the leader of the church, could still address him as "Your Excellency."

Of course, the guarantee Chen Luo just mentioned only applies to the power of faith on this feather.

“The gods of the East are beings of the same rank as angels, so it is normal for them to use honorifics with you,” the Pope said.

"..."

Chen Luo almost forgot...

Apart from the religiously isolated region of China, where the focus is on the usefulness of a deity rather than its veneration, people in other parts of the world generally maintain a basic level of respect for their gods.
