Their commission was suspicious.

"Hmph! Alo, that old relic is bullying me." The Herrscher of Knowledge ran to Chen Luo's side in dissatisfaction and hid.

"..."

Chen Luo felt that it wasn't appropriate for him to get involved.

What right do I have to interfere when my mother is disciplining her daughter?

"Alright, alright, Hua, sit down there first. I know Xiao Shi definitely knows he was wrong, right?" Chen Luo said, pressing the Herrscher of Knowledge into the seat next to him.

"I did nothing wrong!" the Herrscher of Knowledge said, her neck stiff.

"Hmm?" Fu Hua narrowed her eyes.

"Alright, let's not talk about who's right or wrong for now. Let me tell you what it means to deceive the world." The Herrscher of Knowledge ignored Fu Hua and turned to Chen Luo.

As for the Herrscher of Knowledge's indirect submission, Fu Hua no longer insisted on whether or not to make the Herrscher of Knowledge admit his mistake.

In Fu Hua's view, as long as the purpose of correcting the Law of Knowledge is achieved, it doesn't matter whether the other party is willing to admit their mistakes or not.

Of course, strictly speaking, the Herrscher of Knowledge is not wrong. Fu Hua just dislikes the Herrscher of Knowledge's tone and the actions he wants to put into practice.

Now that he dares to verbally flirt with Chen Luo, Fu Hua can't even imagine what he'll dare to do in a while.

"In fact, just like deceiving a person's vision, it is not impossible to deceive the afterlife."

"I believe you've already noticed that in this world, technological creations can be manufactured. But fantastical creations cannot be manufactured. No matter how much you understand these items, or even if you spend every day with them, you simply cannot manufacture them," the Herrscher of Knowledge said to Chen Luo.

"Hmm...indeed. Meow."

Chen Luo glanced at the Heavenly Fire Judgment in his backpack and nodded with some difficulty.

From a purely rational perspective, what you said does make sense.

"Since it is very familiar but cannot be recreated, does that mean that the history of the afterlife has its own unique set of operating rules, and only what is recorded in these rules can be copied?"

"But it's definitely impossible to record a world analyzed by a theoretical system within 40 minutes, so I changed my approach—creating technological artifacts. Although the Anti-Entropy mechs do contain Honkai energy, they are still technological artifacts to some extent, and they can at least be started with electricity."

"That's not the point. I'm not surprised you can build the Reverse Merchant Mech, after all, you've dismantled them countless times before. The question is, why are you able to build so many? Meow," Chen Luo asked.

"Shouldn't you be asking yourself that question? How were you able to create a Moon Throne in 20 minutes? Isn't that even more outrageous than what I did? Putting aside whether a Moon Throne can even be created, the amount of work involved is enormous."

Even if weapons can be made from clay alone, the sheer amount of clay required to create the Moon Throne is unimaginable.

Moreover, the workload is enormous.

"Oh, my method might be different from yours. I used alchemy directly. Although I don't know much about alchemy, I'm still at the proficiency level. It's a bit difficult to make a real Moon Throne, but making an earthen Moon Throne is quite simple. Meow."

"Well, you actually cheated!" the Herrscher of Knowledge said, somewhat agitated.

"To be fair, we've never stipulated that abilities can't be used during the manufacturing process. Otherwise, wouldn't you be breaking the rules too? I don't believe you manufactured all those anti-entropy mechs on the playground normally. Meow."

"Ahem... Okay, actually, it's like this: manufacturing the Anti-Entropy mech isn't that difficult, but the internal structure needs to be reconstructed, so it took me 30 minutes to build one. But considering that what you've built must be extraordinary, I thought I'd make a few more." The Herrscher of Knowledge glanced away somewhat guiltily.

“But normal production is definitely useless. After all, it takes 30 minutes to build a mech, and the remaining 10 minutes are not enough to do anything else. So I came up with a bold idea, which is to deceive the world.”

"But it is impossible to do this with the power of the Lawgiver alone."

So...meow.

"Of course, it's about adding all the powers of the inner demons and the Herrscher of Consciousness to the illusion that Merlin mentioned could deceive the world. The superposition of the three mental abilities is not just a simple addition, but an exponential increase. Finally, with Feather Dust as an amplifier, this ability was amplified, and it actually made a slight contact with the consciousness of the afterlife. Then, the illusion was used to make the fake real."

"Apart from the Anti-Entropy Tactical Mech I was sitting on at the time, all the other mechs were Anti-Entropy mechs that I sculpted in 10 minutes, only having a vague shape. Then, using the mechs I made by hand as templates, I placed these templates on top of all the other mechs." The Herrscher of Knowledge proudly recounted her discovery and invention.

This is similar to an assembly line project, which can greatly improve efficiency.

However, Chen Luo was not interested in the simple assembly-line production method of the Herrscher of Consciousness. What Chen Luo cared more about was that the Herrscher of Consciousness could temporarily use illusions to deceive the world.

“This method of using illusions to deceive the world can probably only be applied to worlds with special rules and the ability to materialize objects. After all, illusions and fantasy have a high degree of overlap in certain aspects,” Yukari Yakumo said from the side.

“I know. Meow.” Chen Luo nodded.

"Moreover, this kind of deception can only be used on a very small scale, such as on a mecha that is only a few cubic meters in size. It's impossible to replicate something like the Moon Throne that you made by hand. Unless you have a stronger ability to deceive the world," the Herrscher of Knowledge added from the side.

"Suddenly, I feel like that world is my paradise." Upon hearing someone talking about his illusion magic, Merlin dragged himself over here, with a bandage wrapped around his arm and hanging around his neck.

This was Morgan's result. According to the other people in the bar, it took Morgan less than an hour from when he stormed into Avalon to beat up Merlin to when the two rushed back to the bar.

Merlin's leg became lame after entering the bar, although Yukari Yakumo suspected that Merlin was faking it.

But pretending to be lame is better than actually being pestered by Morgan and having your leg broken.

In any case, when the two reappeared, Merlin was already injured and looked quite disheveled, and his injuries were not minor.

Morgan, standing to the side, still looked furious, which explained why Merlin was acting so pitiful.

Whether he was truly seriously injured or not is not important; what matters is that Morgan has a genuine sense of having vented his emotions.

When Yukari Yakumo asked Merlin what the sentence Merlin had ultimately left unsaid was, Merlin simply remained silent after being glared at by Morgan.

Although outsiders cannot know the details of the battle, the flower field that Yukari Yakumo happened to glimpse, which had been completely ravaged and was in a terrible state, seemed to confirm everything.

"Merlin, give up on this beautiful wish. If you want to deceive the world, your illusion magic alone is not enough. You also need to have a very high level of attainment in the realm of consciousness, so that you can understand what the will of heaven is. Only after you have truly come into contact with the will of heaven can you use illusion magic that can deceive the world to deceive it." The Herrscher of Consciousness waved her hand and said in response to Merlin's question.

"God willing……"

“Yes, what makes you think that destiny is not a kind of consciousness?” The Lawbringer nodded.

“Although this existence cannot be sensed at all in other worlds, it can be vaguely felt in the afterlife. However, to reach this level of being able to vaguely perceive it, one must first have the corresponding authority, and the strength of that authority must also be extremely high. Otherwise, one cannot make contact, and naturally, one cannot deceive it,” the Herrscher of Knowledge continued.

Upon hearing the Herald of Knowledge's denial, Merlin sighed somewhat unwillingly.

I thought I had found the perfect world for a master of illusion.

"Chen Luo, what are you thinking about?" Yakumo Yukari looked at Chen Luo, who had been silent and lost in thought since earlier.

"I'm wondering if this kind of divine will also exists in that normal world, but it merely watches over everyone from above, and no one can detect it. The afterlife is too peculiar and somewhat small, so its level of divine will isn't very high, making it easier to detect. Meow."

"Take our world for example, there really is such a thing as the Heavenly Dao. Meow," Chen Luo said, giving an example.

"If I could, I'd like to have a conversation with this divine will. Meow."

“Give up, it’s impossible. At least I can’t do that for you, because I can only vaguely sense it myself, and I can’t even speak to it,” said the Herrscher of Knowledge.

"What if the two of us overlapped? Meow," Chen Luo asked.

"Hmm...it's hard to say." The Lawbringer was somewhat uncertain.

"And to achieve this shared state, you'd better possess illusion abilities as well. I consumed all the illusion seeds you gave me back then. If you really want to consume them again, perhaps you can kill Merlin again. This time, I'm referring to his true form," the Herrscher of Consciousness said, pointing at Merlin.

"Eek! I just came over to listen to some gossip, am I going to be silenced?" Merlin was so shocked that he stopped limping.

"So... are you ready? Meow." Chen Luo said as he drew the sword that was meant to stab whoever gave it to him.

"!!!"

Upon seeing the short sword that had stabbed him dozens of times, Merlin instinctively clutched his kidney.

Chapter 794 Substitute...Talented individuals are attracted to each other!

"I told you not to pull out this damn sword all the time! Don't you have any other way?" Merlin looked at the sword that had been used to stab anyone who had given it to him with a pained expression.

As for why it's painful? If you were stabbed in the back and killed more than 30 times by the same sword, you would also feel pain whenever you saw that sword.

"Of course! Meow."

"Then go ahead and use it."

"But it's so expensive. Meow." Chen Luo was somewhat reluctant to take back the sword that had been used to stab someone.

Of course, Chen Luo would never actually stab Mei Lin, since people shouldn't hurt each other in a bar.

Even if it's really a stabbing, it has to be done outside the bar.

The rules of a bar cannot be broken; if they are, the atmosphere of the bar will change.

If you can stab Merlin, you can stab us.

While such persecution complex is not recommended or encouraged, it does contain some fallacies.

Merlin wasn't afraid of being stabbed by Chen Luo; he just felt a pain in his back just looking at the sword.

Chen Luo now has two options in front of him.

One option is to directly purchase illusion abilities from Merlin.

However, this is very expensive, really expensive. Merlin's current discount is only 5.5%, which is already cheap enough, but it's still very expensive, and its usefulness doesn't seem to be that great.

The second option is to directly purchase the Herald of Knowledge's abilities from the Herald of Knowledge again to correct the abilities.

This is cheap because it's 10% off, but Chen Luo wants to wait until the treasure has grown bigger before making a purchase, since the more times the ability is corrected, the more raw stones he'll have to spend.

"Alright, stop thinking about how to kill Merlin. Your goal is to communicate with the world, not to deceive it. You don't necessarily have to think about deceiving it. Why don't you find a bigger amplifier to communicate with it?" Yukari Yakumo said.

"Emmm...okay. Meow."

Chen Luo keenly felt that communicating with the afterlife might be an opportunity to broaden his horizons and gain a deeper understanding of countless worlds.

How does the world work?

Why are the plots in anime the same as the plots that were supposed to happen in these worlds?

And why do these anime exist in the first place?

Furthermore, Chen Luo could also perceive the subtle convergence and uncertainty of the world within it.

In some worlds, fate is inescapable; in others, if you even slightly alter fate, it will dare to cause a complete collapse.

Chen Luo always manages to find him in the places he least wants to see, where there's a sense of closure. And in the places he wants to see him, he can't find a single thing.

For example, if pre-collapse civilizations had this kind of convergence, Chen Luo wouldn't have to worry about the threat level progress bar going off the charts.

However, there is no need to rush this matter. If you want to communicate with the world, you must first be able to communicate and demonstrate your value.

Just like making a deal with Alaya, if Chen Luo himself doesn't have the ability to resolve the evils of this world, Alaya probably won't bother with Chen Luo.

While not every special consciousness is as utilitarian as Alaya, it's always better to be stronger.

Of course, another strategy can be adopted, which is to adapt to the development of the world.

Since this world is a place for people to be reborn, helping more people be reborn in this world might earn enough goodwill from the world, allowing them to come and interact with you.

“And I have another question,” Yukari Yakumo suddenly said.

"What suggestion? Meow."

"How about you take me to that world? I feel my abilities can help you to some extent," Yukari Yakumo said.

"To be honest, my realm ability is applicable to the vast majority of worlds. I can't say I'm that strong, but the essence of my ability is very high, making it easier for me to connect with the world. For example, in the Type-Moon world, I feel that I'm closer to the Root than any of you."

“But what’s the use if you’re too scared to go in? If you’re so capable, go to the source. Meow.” Chen Luo said.

"Ahem, I can definitely go, but I might not be able to come back. I guess I'll pass," Yukari Yakumo said with an awkward laugh.

Knowing that Chen Luo had died once in the Root, at least Yukari Yakumo was even more afraid to go.

It's hard to say how strong Chen Luo is, but his ability to escape and protect himself is the strongest that Yakumo Yukari has ever seen.

“But you can’t deny that I might actually be able to communicate with that world,” Yukari Yakumo said.

“You’re right, meow.” Chen Luo did not deny it.

Yukari Yakumo's Boundary ability is a kind of cheating ability. If Yukari Yakumo had put in just a little more effort, she wouldn't have needed to worry about the Dragon God's opinion when creating Gensokyo.

The ability of realm itself is a special ability that is similar to the root, and it involves the origin of the world.

However, it has a high level of pretentiousness but low actual output.

There's nothing we can do about it.

“Then…” Yakumo Yukari’s face lit up with joy.

"Let's wait until Zerich finishes making the magical girl armor. Meow," Chen Luo said.

"And we can also call Zelrich over together. Meow."

Chen Luo is still very interested in worlds other than the afterlife.

Maybe we can find something interesting.

This is where Zelrich, who possesses a second magic, will have to do it.

Although Zelrich's magic might be halved in that world, what if there's a chance to travel to a parallel world?

Moreover, Chen Luo's desire to bring Yakumo Yukari along wasn't simply to see her transform into a magical girl. Rather, it was because Yakumo Yukari's gap ability also allowed her to travel between worlds. If Yakumo Yukari and Zelrich were to collaborate, they might create some unique sparks.
