The Luo Book and the River Map

"Once someone obtains a position through the Investiture of the Gods, they will immediately push that person down. Moreover, once someone becomes a true god through the Investiture of the Gods ceremony, they only need to manage their own little territory and don't need to pay any attention to their mythological superiors."

"This is equivalent to a feudal system, or even more lenient. The other party only has nominal jurisdiction, but whether you listen or not depends on your own conscience."

"I see." Chen Luo nodded, indicating that he understood somewhat.

"Speaking of which, who did your church choose to Giant God?" Chen Luo asked curiously.

"Me," Yvette said calmly.

"... Why is it you again? You're the Battle Nun, you're the Inquisition Chief Judge, and you're the candidate for Godhood?" Chen Luo was somewhat confused.

"Because the stronger one is, the greater the rewards one will receive after being conferred the title, and my innate identity is that of an angel. If I were to be conferred the title, I might gain powers such as the Judgment Angel. Otherwise, do you think, given my past personality, I would have paid so much attention to matters related to the conferment of gods? And known such knowledge?" Yvette said.

"If I'm not mistaken, the Church must have been very anxious during my time of death, right?" Yvette said, as if anticipating something.

"Good heavens, they're more than just anxious. They even dared to go head-to-head with three S-rank Talent User just to monitor me, someone with an extremely low monitoring sequence. Even after being warned, they didn't restrain themselves at all."

They're a bunch of mad dogs!

However, Chen Luo roughly understood why he was being watched so closely.

They also knew how important Yvette's position was in the church.

"It's a pity that more than a month has passed, and they may have already started looking for new Giant God," Yvette sighed.

After all, since the person may already be dead, we can't let that stop the plan from continuing.

"I don't care, I don't care at all," Yvette whispered.

"..." by Chen Luo.

Yvette cared a lot.

"But none of that matters anymore. Anyway, the first true god to be conferred a title in this millennium is about to appear." Yvette looked at Chen Luo.

"I'm back." The Herrscher of Knowledge pushed open the bar door and walked in.

"You're finally back! Why did you take so long? It's been more than half an hour, hasn't it? You must be tired," Chen Luo said.

"It's not hard work, it's not hard work. In order to live a peaceful life in the main world, we naturally have to work hard. I found a huge river, and it's far away from our home. Don't worry about becoming a god, it won't be a problem." The Herrscher of Knowledge said, pointing behind the door.

"Hmm." Hearing the Herrscher of Knowledge's reply, Chen Luo nodded with satisfaction, then picked up the Xuanyuan Sword beside him and walked towards the door.

Yvette did not return to the Puppet Collection Vault during the half hour; instead, she followed them up and leaned against the door.

Yvette cannot go into the real world right now, otherwise she would be easily detected.

But watching is still allowed.

As soon as Chen Luo stepped out of the bar, a golden light appeared directly above Chen Luo and showered Chen Luo with a golden bath.

After coming into contact with the golden light, Chen Luo realized that it was a vast and extremely pure energy.

As these energies washed over him, Chen Luo's physical strength, the purity of his internal energy, and his mental power all increased rapidly.

This enormous golden light was extremely conspicuous, and the sky above that golden pillar was immeasurably high.

[Clang!]

A deafening bell rang out above Chen Luo, its sound instantly spreading in all directions.

Ordinary people didn't notice anything unusual after hearing the bell and continued with their own business. Even ordinary people several kilometers away couldn't see the extremely conspicuous beam of light.

But for those Talent User, those cultivators with spiritual power, and so on, even if they are far away, the deafening sound of the bell seems to be right in front of their ears.

As the clouds rolled and unrolled, a huge scroll formed by golden light slowly condensed.

Then, the enormous scroll slowly unfurled before the eyes of all the members of the Dark World.

The force of that impact didn't last long. After bestowing a certain amount of reward upon Chen Luo, the golden pillar of light grew smaller and smaller, eventually coalescing into a small, exquisite, square seal, which landed steadily in Chen Luo's hand.

Divine Seal.

The enormous pillar of light that just descended—99.9% of its power was concentrated in this thing—means Chen Luo could only absorb about 0.1% of its energy.

Looking at this thing now, and recalling the speed at which his power had increased, Chen Luo felt an urge to smash it and absorb the energy.

[Seal...] Just as Chen Luo was pondering over the seal in his hand, a loud, neutral voice suddenly came from the sky.

This also means that the Investiture of the Gods has officially begun.

When they heard this voice that reached the ears of all the members of the Dark World, the whole world seemed to be muted.

"How is this possible? The Investiture of the Gods?"

"No way? It's only been a short time, and someone has already met the requirements for becoming a god?"

"Based on past cases every thousand years, it should take at least 35 to 40 years before someone can be deified, right? Even if it's something specially bestowed by our ancestors, it shouldn't be this fast, right?"

While some were surprised, others were happy, and still others were sad.

"Great! Has the church's plan to create gods finally met its requirements?" Someone exclaimed, tears welling up in their eyes.

"Are you stupid? Why didn't you look in the direction?" Then the next moment, the person next to him was slapped.

"Wait? The East? No, those heretics in the East who have no faith, how could they create gods? Whether it's based on the number of believers or the distribution of their faith, there's no reason why anyone in the East could become a god through faith. It couldn't be that they became gods through their own strength, could it?"

"If I say you're stupid, then you're stupid. To become a god through strength, you'd have to be at least SS-rank Talent Holder! At least! And if you had that kind of strength, would Dongfang have kept it hidden?"

"But how do you solve the current situation? You should also know that the Chinese are not even novice believers. They don't care who they believe in. They only care which god can grant their wishes! They are incapable of generating the Faith Power!"

"How would I know? Anyway, you're a fool. Maybe their ancestors left some kind of backup plan?"

"If you fucking want to fight, just say so?"

The Western Church members were indeed quite bewildered, but the Chinese were even more bewildered.

They were even more confused than the people in the Western Church.

Because only they themselves know that they really have no backup plan.

The big shots in China have also tried to obtain the first deification after the Spiritual Energy Revival, but they have tried several times without success.

Ancestor worship and the worship of deities have been prevalent in China since ancient times.

I'll believe if you bless me, and I won't believe if you don't.

The problem is that no one can perform miracles before they become gods through faith.

Due to the repeated resurgence of spiritual energy, all the famous ancestors with great achievements are now living in self-imposed seclusion.

This creates a vicious cycle.

To achieve godhood, one must first have a renowned ancestor, but these ancestors are all confined to their self-imposed lands and cannot leave.

By the time those famous ancestors were able to emerge 50 years later, the first spot for deification would have already been snatched up by someone else.

That's... outrageous.

[The deity was appointed River God, and because the place of the investiture was on the Luo River, the deity was named River God. The Luo Shu (Book of Luo) was bestowed upon her.] The grand voice continued to resound, deafeningly powerful.

"Huh? Luo Shu?" Chen Luo was taken aback and looked down.

From the great river beneath Chen Luo's feet, a strange divine light emanated, and a giant tortoise shell emerged from the middle of the river, slowly flying towards Chen Luo, shrinking as it flew.

When it reached Chen Luo's hands, it turned into a palm-sized tortoise shell, but after a flash of divine light, it transformed into a book.

"Huh? Is this the Luo River?" Chen Luo paused for a moment, then turned to ask the Herrscher of Knowledge in the bar in the distance.

"Hmm." The Herrscher of Knowledge nodded.

Chen Luo was surprised when he saw the other party nod.

Goodness, no wonder it took you half an hour to fly.

It flew really far.

Chapter 575 Luoshu and Hetu

The Yellow River produced a map, the Luo River produced a book, and the sages modeled themselves on them.

The River Diagram and Luo Script are said to have appeared earlier and are even more mysterious than the Classic of Classic of Mountains and Seas.

I am not only extremely precious in a practical sense, but also a rare treasure in a mythological sense.

However, the River Diagram and Luo Script do not seem to have any offensive capabilities recorded in mythology.

The River Diagram and Luo Script are ultimately more of a supplementary tool, especially since Chen Luo only has the Luoshu.

"It's alright. Luckily, we came to the Luo River instead of the Yellow River. If we had gone to the Yellow River, wouldn't we have to be called the Yellow God? I couldn't bear that embarrassment." Chen Luo said with lingering fear after hearing the two words that appeared on the Divine Seal after the Investiture of the Gods.

Whether someone is strong or not is a matter of one version, but whether someone is handsome or not is a matter of a lifetime.

"This thing is destined for me," Chen Luo exclaimed, looking at the Luo Shu in his hand.

Chen Luo's name contains the character "Luo," and she is currently the River God of the Luo River, having been deified on the Luo River. It would indeed be unreasonable not to give her a Luo Shu (a book of mythology associated with the Luo River).

"!!!" Just as Chen Luo held the Luo Shu in his left hand and the Xuanyuan Sword in his right, Chen Luo suddenly felt an overwhelming and unparalleled consciousness summoning him in an instant.

At this moment, Chen Luo's only thought was...

Alaya is indeed quite pathetic.

Whether it's the Honkai Consciousness or the Heavenly Dao of this world, there's no need to seek Chen Luo's opinion.

Although one reason for this is that the way Alaya summons can harm Chen Luo.

But now... it's just a simple reward space, which can be said to be completely harmless.

Chen Luo has indeed received the title of Luo Shu, but the problem is that the first person to be deified in each millennium receives special additional rewards.

It was once again a pure white space that felt somewhat familiar.

[Chen Luo, the River God, is the first person to achieve godhood in this millennium and has received an additional reward. Please select your reward.]

As the sound rang out, several things suddenly appeared in front of Chen Luo.

First, there was a golden light. Chen Luo recognized this thing; wasn't it the Faith Power?

Secondly, there was a ring with two large characters "Spirit Stone" floating on it.

This means that the ring is filled with spirit stones.

Thirdly, it was a book. Whether it was Chen Luo's imagination or not, when Chen Luo saw the book, a rather strange-looking Pegasus suddenly flashed through his mind.

"Uh, could this thing be the Hetu?" Chen Luo looked at the third book with some uncertainty.

From a purely rational perspective, neither the Hetu nor the Luoshu are ordinary books. However, the Luoshu has transformed from a tortoise shell into a book and has fallen into Chen Luo's hands.

The Hetu is also a book, so it's not a big problem.

There are only these three things in this space.

The amount of Faith Power is unknown, but there are definitely a large amount of snacks and possibly a book called Hetu.

Looking at these three things, Chen Luo began to think.

Chen Luo no shortage of Faith Power, after all, he has two Gnosis.

The Anemo Archon's Gnosis is complete, and the Faith Power within it is also complete. The Geo Archon's Gnosis is merely a real-world version, but since it was a reward obtained from the Geo Archon, it may also contain half of Liyue's Faith Power.

Only after Chen Luo became a god did he realize just how immense this Faith Power truly was. And the current surge of Faith Power was even slightly less than the Faith Power possessed by the Geo Archon's Gnosis.

Therefore, Chen Luo decisively gave up on this thing.

If you throw the Gnosis into the river, you might get three more Gnosis and three portions of Faith Power.

Even if there are only three Gnosis and not three portions of Faith Power, Chen Luo's puppets are a group of fanatical believers, so Faith Power is not a problem for Chen Luo.

As for the unknown number of spirit stones, Chen Luo didn't really like it either.

Chen Luo would definitely like the spirit stone, but the problem is that even the best spirit stone doesn't surpass S-grade items. So, if he throws the spirit stone into the river, Chen Luo will receive the full reward, which is three times the reward.

With Chen Luo's current speed of operation, Chen Luo will become rich sooner or later. Moreover, Chen Luo is not in a hurry to lack spirit stones, so this plan fell through.

So Chen Luo finally reached for the book.

In Chen Luo's view, both the Faith Power and the spirit stones seemed to be branch rewards that were used to confuse the main reward.

"By the way, is it okay if I want them all?" Chen Luo suddenly asked just as he was about to touch the River Map.

[Can.]

The next moment, Chen Luo felt himself being kicked out of that space.
