That's 4500 Primogem for two high-level rewards, plus the entire Schicksal.

Kallen can still enjoy this kind of VIP treatment with close protection.

So much so that Chen Luo didn't accompany Herrscher of Knowledge to beat up Otto.

It's such a pity.

At that moment, Chen Luo suddenly noticed that his threat level progress bar had suddenly surged to 60, a level that indicated that the future had been altered.

If Chen Luo wasn't mistaken, Otto was being beaten up by the Herrscher of Knowledge.

However, Chen Luo was not worried. This kind of thing would not fail immediately once the progress reached 50. Rather, it was necessary to keep the progress below 50 before Chen Luo and the others left, otherwise the future would change.

So there's still time to lower this progress bar.

"Mr. Demon, what does hell look like?" Perhaps she had been there for too long and was feeling lonely, or perhaps it was because Chen Luo was floating in the air and had attracted Kallen's curiosity, Kallen even started talking to Chen Luo, the demon.

"Beautiful lady, please don't misunderstand me. I'm Imaginary Demon, not a demon in the true sense of the word. I don't hang out in Hell, and I'm different from the demons in your myths and legends. Also, there is no God or Hell in this world," Chen Luo said, glancing at Kallen.

"Is there no hell? And no heaven?"

"No, no, no, don't misunderstand. Hell and Heaven both exist, they just don't exist in this world. I've been to Hell, I've seen angels, and I even killed one," Chen Luo said, shaking his head.

Hell naturally refers to the demon realm in the world of the Little Evil God.

Chen Luo had seen many angels, and Yvette was the angel who was killed.

"Does that mean there are many other worlds besides this one?" Kallen asked, somewhat surprised.

"This is not something you should be concerned about, because you will die in two hours," Chen Luo reminded him, having confirmed Kallen's execution time through Otto, the person involved.

"..."

Truly heartbreaking

To die the moment Chihise, while still filled with a thirst for knowledge, is truly tragic.

Chapter 527 The team battle can be lost, but the (seven) traitors must die!

There are only two hours left until the execution. In two hours, Kallen will either be reborn or die.

"Mr. Devil, where do you think my soul will drift after I die? Will it be able to ascend to heaven?"

"I've already told you, there is no heaven in this world. So your soul naturally can't go to heaven either, and it's more likely to fall into my hands," Chen Luo said after stretching in the air.

"I don't think I would sell my soul to you." Kallen shook her head.

"You may have misunderstood. In fact, whether you sell it or not, your soul belongs to me. After all, when you die, your soul will have no place to stay and will naturally perish. At that time, whether you agree to this deal or not, your soul will fall into my hands."

"The difference is that a soul that falls into my hands willingly is more delicious. And I don't mind waiting to savor a rare delicacy."

"Mr. Devil, you really are a devil."

"Thank you for the compliment, thank you for the compliment." Chen Luo smiled shyly.

"... Mr. Devil, have you lived for a very long time?"

"I can't say how long I've lived, but if you go back 50,000 years, you might be able to see me."

"50,000 years... So, Mr. Demon, is your daily life spent searching for the souls of pure young girls all over the world?" Kallen continued to ask.

"No. I don't only accept souls here; I also accept other kinds of transactions. It's just that you only have a soul left. And apart from the dead, I prefer sustainable development. I won't directly use someone's soul as a bargaining chip."

"However, being a demon isn't an easy job, since you occasionally encounter some troublesome customers and some troublesome transactions."

"In a sense, demons are actually quite trustworthy beings. After all, once a deal is made, they will definitely grant your wish, which is much better than those ethereal gods," Chen Luo said sincerely.

Now, even Chen Luo believes he is a demon.

"So, make a wish, any wish is fine, as long as it's commensurate with the value of your soul," Chen Luo tempted.

"..." Kallen shook her head again.

"What an inflexible fool! Since your soul will eventually fall into my hands anyway, why not take this opportunity to make a wish?"

Are you there? Can I ask you for a favor?

Please!

After Kallen fell silent, a silence fell between the two... the three of them.

Although Otto sat there without saying a word, that doesn't mean the other person is dead.

Soon after, Chen Luo received a notification that the threat progress bar had dropped. It seemed that the Herrscher of Knowledge had found Otto, beaten him up, healed his injuries, or simply erased his memories.

"Wait, why is the threat level still 59?" Chen Luo, who had just breathed a sigh of relief and thought the threat level on the progress bar would decrease, was surprised to find a problem.

While rationally speaking, 59 is indeed 1 less than 60, this level of threat is still quite high.

And it was enough to change history.

What happened?

Chen Luo started to panic slightly.

A short while later, the Herrscher of Knowledge transformed into a wisp of green smoke from the small window and drifted to Chen Luo's side.

Of course, Kallen was blocked.

At this moment, the Herrscher of Knowledge looked very happy, indicating that Herrscher of Knowledge was indeed enjoying beating Otto, but Herrscher of Knowledge hadn't yet realized the seriousness of the situation.

"Ah, beating up Otto was so satisfying." The Herrscher of Knowledge stretched.

"... But, Herrscher of Knowledge, have you noticed a problem?" Chen Luo asked after a moment of silence.

At the same time, Chen Luo also temporarily blocked Kallen.

"What's the problem?" Herrscher of Knowledge asked.

"Otto now possesses the Void Archive and can even mimic the Heavenly Fire Judgment, which means the Void Archive is on Otto. So the question is, while you did erase Otto's memories, did you erase your memories of the Void Archive?" Chen Luo asked.

This is a question that Chen Luo only thought of after analyzing it for a while.

"?!?!" The Herrscher of Knowledge was visibly stunned for a moment.

"Oh no, what should we do?" The Herrscher of Knowledge panicked.

"Alright, alright, don't rush. Now that we know what went wrong, it'll be easy to deal with."

"You don't need to worry about this. I'll go find Otto and resolve it later. With the Void Archive after its transcendence, are you worried about not being able to control the Void Archive before its transcendence?"

"Besides, do you think my Furniture Mastery is just for show? After gaining control of the Void Archive, it's no problem for the AI inside to delete some records. I can also delete the memories that Otto might be reminded of by the Void Archive again while I'm at it," Chen Luo said, waving his hand.

Things haven't reached the point of no return, or rather, it's not too difficult for Chen Lulu.

"Phew, that's great." Herrscher of Knowledge breathed a sigh of relief.

Throughout the entire process, Otto remained quietly there without saying a word.

It was as if the person they had just discussed beating up wasn't themselves.

Anyway, it was my past self who got beaten up, not my present self.

"Forget it, I'd better go now. Otherwise, if it's not for this reason, it might be too late to salvage the situation." But after thinking about it carefully for a while, Chen Luo shook his head and said this.

Never be overconfident in something, nor overly trust someone's ability. Go do it now; if you fail, you'll at least have two hours to make amends.

And if in the end it turns out that it really can't be done, then it's really over.

"Then I'll go too," Herrscher of Knowledge quickly said.

"What are you going to do there? You won't be of any help. Just find somewhere to wander around, or just stay here and watch Kallen," Chen Luo said.

Because in this matter, the Herrscher of Knowledge is indeed of no help.

"Or perhaps you still have some unresolved worldly ties from 500 years ago. After all, it would be a real shame to come all the way back 500 years and not see your past self," Chen Luo continued.

"But the problem is that I'm constantly seeing my past self, or rather, most of my past selves." The Herrscher of Knowledge shrugged.

"...That makes sense." Chen Luo nodded in agreement.

From a purely rational perspective, such an opportunity to see one's future or past self is indeed quite rare for Herrscher of Knowledge, especially since she can see herself 50,000 years ago.

"But now that you mention it, something comes to mind. Alo, give me a few dozen Puppet Mark." The Herrscher of Knowledge seemed to have suddenly thought of something.

"What are you doing? What do you need dozens of Puppet Mark for?" Chen Luo was stunned for a moment.

To be honest, if we calculate based on Chen Luo's normal weight of one Puppet Mark, Kallen would only need about 6 at most. If you need dozens of Puppet Mark, are you trying to poison a boss?

"Oh no, you should give me over 100." The Herrscher of Knowledge then changed his mind.

"What are you going to do with over 100 of them? Go to space?" Chen Luo was even more stunned.

"Traitorous disciple, traitorous disciple," Herrscher of Knowledge said.

"Wait, how does not giving you the Puppet Mark make me a traitor?"

While it is indeed, in general terms, the Tai Xu Sword Qi Chen Luo from the Church of the Herrscher of Knowledge, or at least half of it, calling oneself a traitor just because of this is going too far.

"I wasn't talking about you, I was talking about those seven traitors who killed the old relic! Don't you think it's a pity to let them just drift away with history? So hurry up and give me over 100 Puppet Mark, and I'll go and implant them in them. That way, when we return to modern society, we'll have seven more dolls," said the Herrscher of Knowledge.

"Holy crap, you... you really have a wild imagination."

"So, what do you think? Isn't my idea brilliant? Is it feasible?"

"Uh, I'm not sure, but it's highly feasible," Chen Luo said after thinking for a moment.

After hearing the Herrscher of Knowledge's thoughts, Chen Luo recalled the contract he had discovered deep within Otto's soul.

Chen Luo now understood why he had signed that contract; there was a 99.9% chance it was due to the influence of the Herrscher of Knowledge.

That's outrageous.

I wonder if those who travel through time have ever thought about this question: In the long river of history, there are so many sages. If there were an opportunity to gather them all together, what would you choose to do?

Of course, these sages are not important to Chen Luo. In any case, their research is indeed relatively backward for Chen Luo, and frankly, they can't really help Chen Luo. What's more important are some very special people.

For example... Cheng Lixue.

Waaaaah, my dear Senior Sister Lixue, you died such a tragic death!

Well, Chen Luo felt that Cheng Lixue definitely wouldn't mind being able to reunite with Fu Hua.

The problem is, who would be the most suitable person to do this?

Chen Luo suspected that the reason might be that he hadn't received the mission assignment, so his self from 50,000 years ago only assigned Cecilia and Yae Rin's mission to Grey Serpent.

Moreover, Yae Rin is already dead, so Yae Rin must be handed over to Grey Serpent. In that case, it wouldn't be a bad idea to add Cecilia as well.

After all, completing the task early means getting the reward early.

"Ah, forget it, time is such a complicated thing. As long as I can save people, that's all that matters." After thinking for a while, Chen Luo gave up on thinking about it because of the time issue.

In short, I'll just go back and complete a commission from Fu Hua.

Throughout history, there have always been a few people who need to be saved, and a few regrets that need to be made up for.

Chen Luo never treated the puppets as mere tools, as Otto suggested. Chen Luo always felt that they should have their own lives.

Of course, Chen Luo wouldn't deny that he was a demon who turned people into puppets and controlled their lives.

In a sense, Chen Luo's self-description as the Imaginary Demon is genuine.

But demons may be demons, there are still a few people who do need to be resurrected.

"Ah Luo, please, just give me a few hundred Puppet Mark." The Herrscher of Knowledge clung to Chen Luo's arm and pleaded, interrupting Chen Luo's thoughts.

"Goodness, it went from a few dozen to over a hundred, and now it's several hundred? You think too highly of your apprentices. Ten of them each would be enough to handle them. Even if you double that, it's still 140." Chen Luo said, rubbing his forehead.

Those Herrscher of Knowledge truly don't know the value of firewood and rice when they're not in charge of the household. Chen Luo is now waiting for his powers to be restored, and he will immediately convert them into Puppet Mark and store them. He has already stored several thousand.

These Puppet Mark were used to create vaccines for Honkai Sickness, which were then distributed to the Previous Era.

However, these few thousand Puppet Mark are still a drop in the ocean compared to the vast number of humans in the Previous Era.

So although Chen Luo is quite frugal now, he still has a long way to go.

God, tell me, how can I accomplish this Great Deeds?

Damn it, they've put an entire Earth's population onto another Earth.

Just thinking about it gives me a headache.

By the way, those who believe in God shouldn't come here to join the fun; Chen Luo doesn't think that believing in God can fulfill his wishes.
