Their commission was suspicious.

"Aponia was able to perfect a person's future as much as possible by constantly summarizing the patterns. But because it requires analysis rather than seeing things directly, Aponia saw a person's end before seeing their life process. After all, life can be wonderful, but there are only a few ways to die."

"It sounds like Morse code. Everything about a person's future is coded into that line in Morse code. Only by cracking the Morse code can Aponia analyze with almost no error what will happen to this person in the future," the Herald of Knowledge made an analogy.

"Pretty much. So there's no rush to find Aponia now. We can wait until she can't resist her curiosity and comes looking for me."

"Because Aponia can't see your future until she figures out the pattern?"

"No, according to Aponia, even though she grasped the pattern of the marionettes in time, she still couldn't see my future. Because my destiny marionettes are slightly different from others', she can discover my specialness, but she can never decipher my future."

"Shouldn't this be a good thing? Why is there still a hint of regret in your words?" Xiao Shi asked curiously.

“That’s because I’m also very interested in my future. I can’t see very far into the future myself, because it’s very difficult. It’s like the saying, ‘The healer cannot heal himself.’ Even if the Hetu Luoshu can enhance the power of the Fate Line, it is still a major taboo in divination. I’m really curious to see what level I will have developed by the time I reach the end, from Aponia’s perspective.” Chen Luo’s words were full of anticipation.

Unfortunately, for a traveler who traverses the world, seeing his future and his fate is a little too difficult.

"You really have no sense of romance at all. As a traveler, you should have the expectation for the journey and the belief that the process should be something you strive for, regardless of the outcome." The Herrscher of Knowledge looked at Chen Luo as if he were a disappointing child.

“What you say makes a lot of sense, but you can’t put food on the table. But thinking about it carefully, don’t you think my fate is unpredictable? Even if my fate is determined during this period, any new customer in the bar can bring about a great change in my fate.”

Although it sounds sad, Chen Luo probably won't be able to see his own destiny in this lifetime.

Chen Luo possesses the ability of the Fate Thread, and he has naturally tried even the most difficult things, using the Fate Thread's ability to see his future.

Similarly, Chen Luo also borrowed the abilities of the Hetu and Luoshu during the process, and was then successfully backfired.

Fortunately, the backlash wasn't severe enough to warrant dying again.

That time, Chen Luo clearly saw the map of his destiny.

And that thread of fate led precisely to the moment Chen Luo entered the bar.

Then... once I stepped into the bar, my fate was completely thrown into chaos.

Moreover, every time a customer enters the bar, Chen Luo's fate is thrown into chaos, each time the bar is entered, chaos ensues.

Chen Luo later discovered that if he wanted his fate to operate accurately according to the destiny chart, he first had to throw away the bar.

Each visitor from another world who comes to the bar is a parameter that brings variables.

The arrival of new guests is especially significant.

Just like if Tachibana Kanade had never been to the bar, Chen Luo would never have had any connection with the afterlife in his life, and naturally he would never have come into contact with the existence of the [world-like consciousness] now.

“By the way, I suddenly have a question. Did Aponia see the two lines of fate floating above your head?” The Herrscher of Knowledge said, pointing to herself.

The Law of Consciousness has been staying in Chen Luo's sea of ​​consciousness, so logically Aponia should be able to see the two marionettes.

"You mean yours? My dear Lady Herrscher of Consciousness, do you really think that the sea and the number in the sea of ​​consciousness you sleep in are just decorations?"

"Isn't that right? Oh, by the way, the leaves on that tree are a bit annoying; a bunch of them keep falling from the sky. You should do something about it."

"...The Sea of ​​Quanta and the Imaginary Tree have immense resistance and suppressive power against the abilities of the Honkai world. If I really wanted to, I could even make Aponia unable to see my Fate Thread. But actively using the power of the Imaginary Number and the Sea of ​​Quanta is quite tiring. However, you live between the Sea of ​​Quanta and the Imaginary Tree, so the Fate Blocking effect on you is always in effect."

No matter how wonderful and dazzling the Honkai world may be, it is merely a real world on a branch of a tree, just like a leaf on a large tree.

Unfortunately, although the Imaginary Number and the Quantum Sea are very prestigious, and Chen Luo has been stamped with the mark by the Imaginary Number Tree and the Quantum Sea, these two things cannot help Chen Luo directly personify the Honkai World, a real number world.

"Alright, let's go." After tidying up everything, Chen Luo looked at the room he had renovated with satisfaction.

Chen Luo's room was originally too unremarkable.

It now looks more like a personal style.

"...Where to go next?" The Herrscher of Knowledge didn't intend to say much about the fact that Chen Luo had placed several dolls in his room.

Boys should have some hobbies, after all.

At least Chen Luo is only fickle when it comes to dolls, not people.

The doll is only this big, no need to worry.

As for people, the Law Enforcers keep a close eye on them, and at least Chen Luo has never been unfaithful under their noses.

"Go check on the progress of the Abyss Passage construction. Also, an S-rank talent will be asking me to train various resistances this afternoon, which will be a good opportunity to obtain some special items from the Abyss Passage. I'll be busy this afternoon."

"I thought we were going to visit the world of Akame ga Kill! Honestly, Aro, you're so biased! You took Flandre but not me." The Herrscher of Knowledge crossed her arms, looking somewhat aggrieved.

"...My adorable Herrscher of Knowledge, may I ask who I specifically invited to go to the New World yesterday, but they didn't come and even said I was annoying?" Chen Luo leaned closer to the Herrscher of Knowledge and pinched her cheek without any politeness.

"I called you twice yesterday. You didn't go, and now you're blaming me?"

"Uh, well, isn't that because of the old antique? Yes, it's all the old antique's fault. She insisted on playing chess with me, even though she knew I couldn't beat her. And she wouldn't let me win. It was too much!" The Herrscher of Knowledge decisively shifted the blame onto Fu Hua.

"The most important thing is that you still lost. Don't tell anyone you're with me in the future. I can't bear the shame," Chen Luo said disdainfully.

I, Chen Luo, have been playing chess for dozens of days and have never lost!

"Huh? How can you blame me? You just don't know how to play chess!" the Herald of Knowledge said matter-of-factly.

Although the Herrscher of Knowledge possesses the same memories as Fu Hua, the problem is that playing chess, besides skill level, also depends on your thought process.

The thought process of those who understand the laws is quite unique.

Fu Hua can't fall for provocations, but those who understand the Herrscher of Law can. Fu Hua can't pull off some crazy maneuvers, but those who understand the Herrscher of Law can.

Even with the same level of chess proficiency, the Herald of Knowledge cannot defeat Fu Hua.

"And how dare you tell me this? I at least know a little about Go, but you don't even know how many stones there are in a Go board, do you?" The Herald of Knowledge said, somewhat unconvinced.

“But you can’t beat me at chess,” Chen Luo emphasized.

"..." Those who understand the law have nothing to say.

You talk as if no one can beat you.

Seeing the Herrscher of Knowledge's cheeks gradually puff up, Chen Luo knew he couldn't continue, otherwise he would have to coax him later.

So Chen Luo grabbed the Herrscher of Knowledge's hand and ran into the bar.

slip away.

……

"You've been working on this for so long, and this is what you've come up with?" Chen Luo sat on the top of the Heavenly Prison, looking at the newly built building next to it that looked exactly the same as the current Heavenly Prison.

"Lord River God, we have no choice. After all, the image of this mental hospital is already deeply ingrained in people's minds, so even if it's just for the sake of disguise, we have to create a new mental hospital, right?"

"However, this mental hospital is not as simple as it looks. In addition to the fact that the building is made of special materials, we have also taken various protective measures around it."

"But there's no one here. Where are they? You don't think you can maintain order in the Abyss Passage with just this few people, do you?" Chen Luo asked the director.

Although several buildings were added near the prison, along with some deceptive decorations and people hidden inside, there weren't many people on site—no more than 20 in total.

"The deployment of personnel will take time; they will be transferred here only after the mental hospital is fully completed. In addition, relevant departments in Xinghai City also tend to relocate here. In this way, there is no need to worry about the military force defending the Abyss Passage."

"And most importantly, even if the Heavenly Prison is moved, it will still be placed not far away, right? As long as the warden is guarding the Heavenly Prison, practically no one in the world will be able to break through this defense and cause trouble in this abyss passage," the director said.

"Speaking of which, what are you planning to do with the warden?"

"Well... first, I'll use my shackle ability to stack the shackles on the warden, then the Discipline Master will draw up a gentleman's agreement with the warden. For the next 10 years, the warden will likely stay near the Heavenly Prison, and will need to apply to leave. Although it sounds like excessive confinement and restriction of freedom, his intention to seize control of the Heavenly Prison is even more chilling," the director sighed.

After all, that's the Heavenly Prison, something left behind by a powerful figure from the Immortal Realm. If the warden were to actually steal it, wouldn't the powerful figure from the Immortal Realm vent his anger on the relevant departments?

"Never mind, I'm not really concerned about that. Just tell me I can attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the Abyss Passage in a few days," Chen Luo said.

"Oh, a ribbon-cutting ceremony? Are we going to hold this?" The bureau chief was taken aback.

"Huh? What nonsense are you talking about? Doesn't every company or shop need a ribbon-cutting ceremony when it's built?"

Chen Luo suddenly sensed that something was wrong.

Chen Luo remembered that the mission he accepted for the Cangxuan Book required him to successfully participate in the ribbon-cutting ceremony after confirming the security work for the Abyss Passage in Xinghai City.

If they don't hold a ribbon-cutting ceremony, where will they cut the ribbon themselves?

How could the mission possibly be completed without a ribbon-cutting ceremony?

"Well, if you insist on doing it, River God, it's not impossible." Although it was strange that the River God would have such a peculiar hobby, the director decided to satisfy Chen Luo. Anyway, it wasn't anything important. He could just find a few people to make some banners and some ribbons later.

It's not worth arguing with Chen Luo about this.

After seeing that his identity and mission were protected, Chen Luo breathed a sigh of relief.

"It should be almost completely set up in three days, at which point the Abyss Passage can be reopened," the director said to Chen Luo after inquiring about the current progress of the project from the designer.

"Understood." Chen Luo nodded.

After finishing his business, Chen Luo said goodbye to the bureau chief and returned home.

A short while later, a knock came at the door.

Here comes the sucker.

Ahem, it's those S-level talent users who want to improve their resistance in a certain area, or who want Chen Luo to heal one of their friends.

Chen Luo was very curious about what strange abyss passage products they would bring back.

Chapter 860 Judah's Oath - Divine Awakening!

"Those S-level talents are really generous. They actually bought the villa next to Xiao Ke'er's house and converted it into a clinic and training ground, which they then gave to me. No wonder I heard renovation noises when I got home yesterday."

"But why didn't Xiao Ke'er remind me?" Chen Luo wondered.

"Probably didn't notice. After all, if I remember correctly, the order you gave Xiao Ke'er was just to monitor your home, right? And isn't Xiao Ke'er basically free now? Because someone is guarding her home." The Herrscher of Knowledge sat on the sofa and pointed to Shen He next to him.

After Shen He's identity certificate was issued, Xiao Ke'er was declared free by Chen Luo, because with Shen He guarding the house, there was no need to worry about other people suddenly barging in.

Xiao Ke'er is probably shopping with Bai Zhi right now, right? Besides the fact that Xiao Ke'er has been cooped up for more than a month helping Chen Luo guard the house, it seems that Bai Zhi's worldview has also been impacted.

It's clear that what Shen He said to Bai Zhi yesterday had a significant impact on Bai Zhi's worldview.

Just now, Chen Luo and the two S-level talents were conducting endurance training in that newly renovated house.

The endurance training is also very simple. First, poison them with the poison they want to increase their resistance to a dozen times, and then have Chen Luo treat them a dozen times.

Although it's simple, brutal, and painful, it's very effective.

Treating others is even simpler; just wrap it in a cocoon, then leave it aside for a few minutes.

S-class talents are truly wealthy, both in terms of resources and actual money.

The villa was a free gift from the other party, and in addition, they brought the expected reward, such as all sorts of strange things brought out from the abyss passage. One person even brought 5 game contracts, asking Chen Luo to help his sister regenerate her severed limbs.

"How do I... solve the bar's problems?" After dealing with these trivial matters, it was already afternoon, and Chen Luo should start thinking about the bar's issues.

"What are you thinking about this time? Tell me," asked the Law Master.

"It's about the bar. I've noticed that many people are active at night, including in bars. There are many things that need to be done at night, but the problem is that I have to run the bar at night and can't leave it. So I'm thinking about where to find someone who is skilled in cooking and mixing drinks," Chen Luo said, somewhat troubled.

"The last Holy Grail War was the same, and so is this Akame ga Kill!; most of their operations take place at night."

“Then why don’t you just adjust the time like you did during the Holy Grail War? Adjust their evening activities to before 8 pm or after 12 am,” said the Herrscher of Knowledge.

"It's possible, but we can't keep doing this, right?" Chen Luo said helplessly.

"And if there's an emergency at night, leaving the bar will cost you 50 Primogems. Who can afford that?"

"In the end, it's because you're stingy." The Herald of Knowledge curled his lip.

"Sigh, isn't this all to save up the money to become a Herrscher of the End? Besides, the conceptualization of Herrscher abilities plus the cost of extracting the next 6-star item really adds up to a lot of expenses," Chen Luo said.

"And how can a traveler remain indifferent to raw gemstones?"

"Why are you thinking about your Herrscher of the End all day long? Is the Herrscher of the End as powerful as me, the Herrscher of Knowledge?" The Herrscher of Knowledge crossed her arms.

"...Ahem, it's hard to say. Although each Herrscher's ability costs 1 Primogems, their potential is quite high. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be possible to acquire it for 15,000 Primogems, but it's surprisingly cheap. In that case, I can't speculate on what the power of the Herrscher of the End, which can be synthesized from 13... no, 12 Herrschers, will be like."

"It's just so-so. It's not like I haven't fought the Herrscher of the End before," the Herrscher of Knowledge said dismissively.

"What about the results?" Chen Luo asked.

"...Don't bring up things you don't want to talk about."

"Anyway, you need to help me think of a way. How can I find someone who is proficient in both cooking and alcohol mixing?" Chen Luo said.

"Hmm... Shen He, can you cook?" The Herrscher of Knowledge asked Shen He after a moment of contemplation.

"..." Shen He shook his head in silence.

"Shen He eats Qingxin every day, so why would he need to cook? How could he possibly have master-level culinary skills?" Chen Luo complained.

"Then...then let's find the all-knowing traveler."

"Hmm?" Chen Luo tilted his head.
