The reason he wasn't staring blankly at the river was because Chen Luo had already dispersed the river.

"Huh? What happened? How did it turn into mana replenishment?" Because of that damned Herrscher of Knowledge's sneak attack, Herrscher of Knowledge was quite concerned about the words mana replenishment and mana.

"It's nothing, I just ran out of magic power," Chen Luo said, waving his hand.

Although it sounds a bit far-fetched, the series of things Chen Luo just did did indeed deplete Chen Luo magic power, to the point that Chen Luo didn't have any magic power left to attack Morgan.

Fortunately, Chen Luo's 33 times faster magic cultivation speed, along with his constantly running visualization method, quickly re-established the magic supply channel.

"It's fine if you're just walking through the cracks in time, but if you bring an item or even a person with you, the consumption increases dramatically."

Actually, bringing the items wasn't so bad. Although some of the mana-consuming bullets were manageable for Chen Luo, the problem was that he had also pulled the Herrscher of Knowledge into the gap, which depleted a lot of Chen Luo's mana, leaving him with only 20%.

Moving other people's bodies was fine, as it didn't consume much magic power.

Chen Luo then dedicated all his remaining magic to Yvette.

But given how much magic power this function consumes, can it really work in battle?

But when Chen Luo saw the last item on the Moon Clock, he gradually felt relieved.

The text above describes Chen Luo's affinity with time, which gradually increases as he spends more time in the gaps of time.

It practically states that Chen Luo can reduce energy consumption by using his abilities more frequently.

"Pfft, hahaha... Yvette, what kind of hairstyle is that?" The Herrscher of Knowledge couldn't help but laugh.

The Herrscher of Knowledge pointed at Yvette's messy hair and the colorful stickers on her face and laughed rather rudely.

"... Hmph." Upon hearing the Herrscher of Knowledge's laughter, Yvette almost instantly pulled out a mirror, and at the same time saw her hairstyle and the decorations on her face.

After giving Chen Luo a cold snort, Yvette vanished instantly, returning to her Puppet Collection Vault.

Yvette knew without even guessing that it was Chen Luo who was behind it.

"Let's go, Primogem, go explore our world. I have some things to do back home, so you can familiarize yourself with your room while you're at it." After finishing his tea, Chen Luo stood up and said to Morgan.

"That's rare. You actually agreed to return to your own main world today. You still remember that's your main world." The Herrscher of Knowledge looked at Chen Luo in surprise.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Of course I know." Chen Luo rolled his eyes at the Herrscher of Knowledge and walked towards the Bar Door.

Herrscher of Knowledge and Morgan also got up and followed.

Bars are usually quiet except at night.

Morgan needs Chen Luo to Mana Supply, otherwise he will be expelled. Therefore, he must stay with Chen Luo. In addition to the possibility of being expelled, he also needs Chen Luo to maintain his own existence.

Morgan's situation is somewhat special.

Besides having nothing to do in the bar, Chen Luo also wanted to put the River God's abilities into practice in real life.

But just as Chen Luo pushed open the bar door and was about to step into reality, a series of images flashed through Chen Luo mind, and an extremely strong special feeling surged into Chen Luo heart, causing Chen Luo to pull back the step he had just taken.

"..." Chen Luo looked at the reality that was only one step away from him and fell into deep thought.

"What's wrong?" The Herrscher of Knowledge asked, puzzled, as Chen Luo abruptly stopped in his tracks.

"My Destiny Ability finally came into play, giving me a rare glimpse into its emergency response capabilities," Chen Luo said, still shaken.

"Uh, what do you mean?" The Herrscher of Knowledge did not understand Chen Luo's meaning.

"That means I can't step out of this door," Chen Luo said, pointing to the door in front of him.

"Why?" The Herrscher of Knowledge, somewhat puzzled.

"Does it mean someone is hunting you down, and you're locked on and chased as soon as you get home? Could it be that information about Yvette has been exposed?" The Herrscher of Knowledge immediately thought of this possibility, but then felt it was unlikely, since Yvette had been dead for a long time.

Moreover, apart from Yun Lian'er and the others, no one else knows that Yvette is still alive.

Yun Lian'er and the others have signed a contract with Chen Luo, so there's no need to worry about them leaking information.

"Investiture of the Gods." Chen Luo uttered the two words.

"What's the meaning?"

"I am Chen Luo, the River God, and also a concept god."

"So what?"

"So that's how they became gods. Although I don't know the exact principle, I gained some strange knowledge when I took that first step, and fragments of Destiny Ability flashed through my mind, so I knew about this. However, although I roughly know about it, the details are still not very clear, so I know I can't go out."

"If I go out, I'll probably be punished at home, right?" Chen Luo looked at his own door and didn't dare to go in.

Goodness, thankfully the Destiny Ability did work once, otherwise Chen Luo, who has never liked being on the main world's path, might have caused quite a stir.

"What should we do then?" The Herrscher of Knowledge was somewhat bewildered.

Herrscher of Knowledge didn't know how Chen Luo had suddenly been granted an official title.

"No problem. Um, Xiao Shi, could you bring me the Xuanyuan Sword, the one used to ward off evil spirits?" Chen Luo said to the Herrscher of Knowledge, pointing to the Xuanyuan Sword hanging in the hall directly opposite the entrance.

The Xuanyuan Sword was used by Chen Luo to ward off evil spirits. It was a random item drawn from the game, and its effect... simply put, it makes one immune to all magic and conceals the secrets of heaven.

Unless the person investigating Chen Luo is so powerful that they can easily defeat countless powerful figures throughout China for countless years, then it is indeed possible to see through Chen Luo's true identity.

But... that's not very realistic.

With this thing, and by combining it with another item, Chen Luo could achieve godhood without anyone noticing.

"Oh." Even in this situation involving a major event, the Herrscher of Knowledge remained very honest.

He quickly ran over, took the Xuanyuan Sword, and placed it in Chen Luo's hands.

"And then?" the Herrscher of Knowledge asked.

At the same time, Morgan also turned his attention to the matter.

"Next... take this and find a place as far away from home as possible to put it down, preferably by a river. Ideally, it should be a well-known one," Chen Luo continued.

What Chen Luo handed to the Herrscher of Knowledge was a portable Teleport Anchor.

"You don't need to go. We're Master and Servant, so even if we're separated by a few cities, you could easily disappear." Chen Luo looked at Morgan helplessly.

Chen Luo settled Morgan at Old Worm's house around 12 o'clock, and by 8 o'clock in the morning, almost all of the other party's people were gone.

In other words, the opponent must be strong and have a very high level of magic, possessing the ability to weaken resistance; otherwise, the opponent might have disappeared.

Even so, the other party didn't say a single word.

When Makiri saw the other person's condition, she was almost paralyzed with fear.

Is this person really that simple-minded?

Watching the Herrscher of Knowledge vanish in an instant, Chen Luo sat back down in the bar and then summoned Yvette had just finished combing her hair.

"Is there something you need?" Yvette asked, drying her hair with a hairdryer.

"Uh, do you need a hair dryer?" Seeing that the hair dryer had stopped working because it was out of plug, Chen Luo kindly handed over a Herrscher Core of Wind Core.

The true Herrscher Core of Wind is still the silver version.

"My family is poor, so we'll just have to make do."

Chapter 574 The Luo River? The River God? The Book of the Luo River?

"Unsolicited kindness is always suspicious. So, what do you want to ask?" Yvette could tell at a glance that Chen Luo needed her help.

Although Yvette really wanted to say, "Now you know how to ask for help? Too late!"

Unfortunately, Yvette couldn't say it.

Yvette could not refuse any of Chen Luo's requests.

It's anything!

Even if the other party tells you to die.

"So, have you heard of the Investiture of the Gods?" Chen Luo asked his question.

"Investiture of the Gods? Where did you learn this term from?" Yvette looked at Chen Luo with some surprise.

"Well, River God, you saw my experiment just now. Just as I was about to leave, I learned something about the Investiture of the Gods. So there's a very high chance I'll be granted godhood in a little while. That's why I asked about the relevant information," Chen Luo said.

Having an elder in the family is like having a treasure.

Although Yvette isn't very old, she's definitely a gem.

After all, the other party holds a high position in the church, enjoys excellent treatment, and is also an angel-level Talent User, meaning they have powerful backing.

Moreover, it took the other party a long time to become Talent User, otherwise their progress in breaking through levels would not have surpassed Yun Xia and Yun Lian'er, or even been on par with Su Yuan.

The key is that it's easy to summon.

"... Is this really okay?" Yvette suddenly looked at Chen Luo with a rather indescribable expression.

"What's wrong? Why that expression?" Chen Luo asked, somewhat puzzled.

"No, it's nothing. Let's get back to the matter of the Conferred God. The so-called Conferred God is the reward bestowed upon you by Heaven and Earth after you have collected enough faith, purified your divinity, ignited the divine fire, condensed your divine personality, and become a god."

"Of course, simplifying these steps and becoming a god of faith can also earn you a title, which is called godhood. The biggest difference between the two is strength. Note that I said simplification, not omission. It is extremely difficult for an ordinary person to become a god of faith solely through the Faith Power."

"After being granted the title, one will naturally receive corresponding items and rewards."

"Generally speaking, the first person to be conferred a title in each millennium is usually from one of the major powers. Of course, there are exceptions, such as the Lord from 2000 years ago. He was able to rise to the top because he successfully became a god at the beginning of the millennium by consolidating his faith, purifying his divinity, igniting his divine fire, and condensing his divine essence."

"What? The rewards for being conferred this generously?" Chen Luo stared wide-eyed in surprise.

"That's not the case. It depends on the attributes of the god you are conferred, and it's quite random. The reason why a certain famous person in the church two thousand years ago was strong is because he was genuinely strong, not just because he was conferred a godhood. The items after being conferred a godhood are merely icing on the cake, but this icing on the cake is quite large."

"Generally speaking, in every millennium, what all the powerful forces are fighting for is the first spot to be conferred a title. Because being first always comes with privileges, doesn't it? The Heavenly Dao always gives extra rewards to the first person to be conferred a title through their own efforts after the Spiritual Energy Revival."

"As for what the reward is..."

What is it?

"How would I know? Although the Church has preserved its traditions quite well, these records are all high-level records, so I don't have the authority to view them right now, and of course, the Pope doesn't have the authority to view them either."

"If even the Pope can't see it, then who can?" Chen Luo asked in surprise.

No one is allowed to see it.

"..."

"Alright, let's continue with the matter of bestowing titles upon gods. Generally speaking, the rewards for bestowing titles upon gods are indeed quite generous, and it is related to your type of god. True gods naturally receive generous rewards."

"There is another group of people who want to prolong their lives. They have a certain level of strength, but not enough to become gods normally, so they use the method of becoming gods through faith. They take a different path. In short, many of them are people with connections. The rewards they receive are extremely rare."

"Therefore, the gods in this world who have an officially recognized and established system are either extremely powerful or extremely weak."

"Moreover, besides the righteous way of obtaining a divine position through the conferment of titles, there is another kind of conferment of titles, which is when a deity with special powers bestows the divine position of a subordinate deity that is not occupied upon his or her children or subordinates, making them subordinate gods (followers). This is what is known as 'when one person attains the Dao, even his chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.'"

"However, in this case, if someone obtains this officially recognized deification system, the subordinate divine office and divine authority conferred by the deity itself will be taken back and then bestowed upon the person who is deified."

"This millennium is quite different from the previous millennium. In the previous millennium, there was no invasion of the Abyss, so everyone was basically in a situation where they had neither money nor medicine, let alone treasures."

"The initial rewards obtained during the Consecration of Godhood were extremely important at that time. Under normal circumstances of Spiritual Energy Revival, the rewards for Consecration of Godhood are quite generous, let alone in the early stages of Spiritual Energy Revival."

"Therefore, generally speaking, the first place to be conferred a divine title is always in a strategically important location."

"Although the Abyss has invaded and those powerful figures left behind initial funds for their descendants while resisting it, this first deity to be enshrined is still extremely popular."

"The Church is no exception. And if I remember correctly, in at most another six months, the Church will have collected the minimum amount of Faith Power required for the Godhood." Yvette looked at Chen Luo with a complicated expression.

That's why Yvette's eyes looked so strange just now.

"Huh? What a coincidence! Speaking of which, is the first chance for deification still available?"

"Don't worry, the Church is the fastest at collecting Faith Power in this world. That's beyond doubt," Yvette said firmly.

"And there will be a prompt when it is the first time a deity is conferred."

Logically speaking, what is the world's most popular religion with the largest number of followers?

Isn't it a church?

"Oh, right, there's one more thing, although it's definitely not useful to you, but I'll still tell you. In the first 50 years of the Spiritual Energy Revival, those who are conferred godhood will receive a fairly powerful divine position or items. However, those big shots who obtained their godhood after they were unsealed will be a bit weaker, and those who worship gods will be even weaker."

"It's no use telling me this. I'm within 50 years now, and it's about to happen. But then again, my divine position is basically 100% the River God. Can the Sea God or anything like that control me? Or can the Jade Emperor or anything like that control me?" Chen Luo asked with some concern.

If it were possible to manage him, wouldn't Chen Luo suddenly have a boss?

This will make Chen Luo very unhappy.

"There's no need to worry about that. Before a subordinate god position appears, the superior god can arrange for someone to take that position, making them a subordinate god. This is essentially putting people in through connections."
