The Immortal Realm Conference Convenes

"Well, that's the next issue I wanted to discuss with you. First of all, within China, you are undoubtedly the most legitimate river god, capable of overseeing all the river basins in China. However, you are not incapable of ruling abroad, but the effect will be correspondingly weakened."

"From a mythological perspective, there is more than one river god, but you are the only river god in the world who has been officially deified without a specific river region. Other river gods in mythology are either subordinate gods appointed by certain deities or river gods with specific river regions. As long as no river gods appear in other regions, your power may even be above those subordinate gods, since they do not have a formal position."

"So you've been fiddling with this thing for ages, have you found anything yet?" Yvette asked, looking at Chen Luo who was playing with the seal.

As Chen Luo's puppet, Yvette has recently been receiving more information from him because Chen Luo thinks she's been behaving well.

It changed from 1% to 2%.

At the same time, through their time together, Yvette gained a better understanding of Chen Luo's abilities.

For example, the ability to use any weapon or tool, and to quickly master anything.

Although its true nature remains unknown, that doesn't stop Yvette from making the greatest possible assessment and imaginings about it.

After all, all sorts of outrageous things have happened to Chen Luo, haven't they?

Yvette will assume for now that the other party has the ability to control everything, and will gradually gain complete control over it as the contact time increases.

"Oh, you might have misunderstood. I wasn't thinking about figuring out how powerful this thing was. I was wondering if I could break it," Chen Luo said after a moment of surprise.

"Why did you smash it for no reason? It's proof of your divine status!" Yvette was quite confused.

"You don't know, but when I conferred the title of god just now, didn't a huge golden energy pillar descend from the sky? When I was enveloped in that golden pillar, I felt myself being strengthened. But after being strengthened for a short time, the pillar began to shrink, eventually gathering all the energy into this Divine Authority Seal."

"So I was wondering, if I smashed it, would I be able to absorb it?" Chen Luo began to ponder.

"...Be kinder to your Divine Authority Seal. In a sense, it represents the presence of the gods."

"The effects of the Divine Authority Seal vary from country to country. For example, the Divine Authority Seal of countries like Greece are generally not in this form because they don't focus on this. They are more often in the form of weapons, such as the trident of the sea god."

"Actually, you can also think of this seal as a trident of a river god. Although I don't know its specific effects, it should have some common functions."

"For example, issuing edicts, concealing heavenly secrets, displaying divine authority, participating in Council of Gods, collecting faith, and so on. Given that yours is the seal of the river god, it should also be able to mobilize the waters of the waters, extract the essence of the waters, enlighten the life of the waters, command the creatures in the river, and so on," Yvette said.

"Wait, wait a minute, I can understand the rest, but what does it mean to attend the Council of Gods?" Chen Luo was stunned.

"It means exactly what it says. After becoming a god, you can participate in every meeting of the gods. Oh, you might call it the Immortal Realm Conference or something like that here. It's mostly a meeting of the local mythological system. Of course, if it's a general meeting of the gods held across the entire Earth, you'll be included as well. The seal can serve as a manifestation of your power, transforming into your avatar, and then you can go to the meeting place to participate in the discussions."

"And that's why gods were very valuable 50 years ago Spiritual Energy Revival, but are very worthless 50 years later, because they can exchange information with the gods in their own mythology by participating in the Council of Gods."

"In your modern terms, this thing is a pass; with this pass, you can join the gods' chat group. But I don't think it'll be of much use to you," Yvette said honestly.

"Why?" Chen Luo asked, somewhat puzzled.

Logically speaking, being able to discuss things with those who have been granted titles of authority should be quite meaningful.

Take Yvette for example. If she were to attain godhood, she could discuss matters with the angels in the Heavenly Realm, receive knowledge from them, and better control her abilities. Wouldn't that be a huge win?

"The significance of this right lies in the fact that those beings in the Upper Realm who are confined to their own lands pass information to you, and then you pass the information to their disciples and descendants. You can use this intelligence network to quickly improve the overall strength of the country."

"However, since these big shots have already come down once this millennium, their value is slightly lower. Of course, they still exist. But... do you dare to communicate with those special forces within China?" Yvette asked.

"Uh..." Upon hearing Yvette's words, Chen Luo fell silent instantly.

Yeah, even if those people pass the message on to me, I wouldn't dare to pass it on to anyone else.

Unlike those who became gods due to powerful backers, Chen Luo was all alone. Moreover, Chen Luo didn't want to cause much trouble in this main world. Being a good student was already quite good enough for him.

"You're not even willing to reveal your S-rank Talent User in this world, let alone your godhood. Since you won't reveal your identity, then all that information exchange is pointless, because you don't even dare to communicate with them."

"At the same time, there is indeed no precedent for this in your China, because in the past several thousand years, there has never been a person in China who was the first to be deified. Therefore, the Chinese pantheon has never cared about this matter."

Simply put, they've given up.

The Chinese people have always believed in their ancestors, not in gods.

Aside from being extremely respectful to their ancestors, their attitude towards deities is hard to describe.

In the previous few millennia, things were better. The people were not enlightened, social development was relatively backward, and people were more superstitious, so collecting beliefs was not a big problem.

But this millennium, in particular, is a story that is hard to describe.

At least for now, no religion in China has successfully developed.

"If you really don't believe it, you can try attending the meeting. Although you're a newbie, believe it or not, the other gods in your pantheon are even more caught off guard than you are," Yvette said, shaking her head.

These situations haven't been encountered in thousands of years, so it's no wonder that people would know what to do now.

Furthermore, each pantheon has different methods and customs of communication. Yvette's church and the pantheon of Chen Luo's country are not very compatible, so Yvette has no experience to pass on to Yvette.

"But then again, you might actually do quite well within your pantheon," Yvette suddenly added.

"Huh, what do you mean?" Chen Luo asked, puzzled.

"It's worth mentioning that you are simply a river god, meaning you rule over all the river basins of the entire Chinese land. Do you understand what that means?"

"Hmm, I don't understand..." Chen Luo shook his head.

"Did you know that, apart from Eastern Land, China has the most gods? This is mainly due to your customs and the vastness and abundance of your land?"

"Just like your country is so big, every place has its own mountain gods and river gods, and some even have dragon kings, right?"

"Ah, that's definitely right." Chen Luo nodded.

"Most of these gods are subordinate gods. Some gods did become mountain gods or river gods in a certain place through their own faith, but most of them became subordinate gods because they were appointed by certain special gods."

"But their divine positions are illegitimate and unjustified. Now that you, the river god, have appeared, you can take back all the authority of these subordinate gods of the river region."

"In this sense, the sea god is really no match for you, the river god, because there aren't many seas, but there are many rivers, especially in China. Moreover, in China, you can even divide a river into different sections and appoint a river god for each section." Yvette offered a very constructive suggestion.

"That makes sense." Even Chen Luo had to admit that Yvette was indeed quite capable.

"So don't even think about smashing your Divine Authority Seal and absorbing it. In this world, gods do sometimes need divine seals to exercise their Divine Authority Seal, just like the sea god needs his trident. Otherwise, even if you are sealed as the river god, without this seal, your control over the river and the boost you receive when fighting enemies on the river will be greatly reduced," Yvette said.

"But the problem is, I feel like I can control the river even without this thing." Chen Luo clenched his fist after placing the Divine Authority Seal aside.

"Is it possible that I myself am a river god?" Chen Luo proposed a hypothesis.

"... Fine, whatever makes you happy, I don't care anymore." After hearing Chen Luo's words Yvette was silent for two seconds, waved goodbye to Chen Luo, and went straight back to her Puppet Collection Vault.

We can't be friends anymore.

"Hey, why are you running so fast?" Chen Luo said reluctantly, watching Yvette run away at a remarkable speed.

"However, this Divine Authority Seal seems to have quite a few uses, especially when combined with the Faith Power and divine power." As Chen Luo spoke, he picked up the Divine Authority Seal again, and after weighing it in his hand, the Divine Authority Seal suddenly changed its appearance.

"Haha, now I'm a real river god." Chen Luo placed the Divine Authority Seal, which had transformed into a halo, on his head.

Then Chen Luo gained his own halo.

How could a river god not have his own aura?

"Alright, we can really leave the bar now. This time we've finally returned home in glory." Chen Luo greeted the Herrscher of Knowledge and Morgan again.

Returning home in wealth and honor is like wearing brocade at night.

But Chen Luo became a god and returned to his hometown, yet Chen Luo dared not tell anyone about it.

Although Chen Luo's current strength is enough to easily defeat 99% of the people in this world, there is still the Abyss, isn't there?

Speaking of the river god being able to be deified, Chen Luo thought of his parents.

If I remember correctly, although subordinate gods aren't very powerful, they seem to be able to live forever, right?

Just like Chen Luo in this world, even if he is killed, not counting Chen Luo's various resurrection abilities, Chen Luo can still be resurrected through the Divine Authority Seal, which is the ring on Chen Luo's head.

Although the river god is weak in combat, he is immortal.

"How are you feeling?" Chen Luo asked Morgan, who had come to this world with him, after leaving the bar.

"..." Morgan shook his head.

"It's good that you're alright. It seems that being a spirit has its advantages." Chen Luo breathed a sigh of relief.

Morgan's current situation is much better than Chen Luo's when he returned home after becoming Herrscher. Chen Luo almost knelt down in his own world back then. The differences between worlds are quite large, but the difference between the Moon World and the Main World doesn't seem to be that big. The key is that Morgan is still a spirit.

So the situation is much better. Apart from Chen Luo providing the other party with a little more magic power, there are no other problems.

After finally returning home, Chen Luo threw the tortoise shell and the animal skin paper transformed from the Hetu diagram onto the table.

The River Diagram and Luo Script are now all with Chen Luo.

"Hmm, I only have 13,000 Primogem left. What should I do now? How should I spend them?" After sitting on the sofa, Chen Luo looked at his remaining Primogem and became depressed.

It's impossible to draw cards. Chen Luo is now fully aware of his luck. Don't go for card draws if you're not prepared to do 200 draws, because you won't get anything at all.

Although you can get some items after drawing cards, it's really uncertain whether you can use these items.

For example, Chen Luo currently has 21 four-star items in his backpack, as well as a large number of items below four stars.

Chen Luo still needs to figure out how to use these items. After studying them, he will put them in the box and make three copies.

"Moreover, we must now focus on collecting divine power or improving our own strength in order to liberate the river god's divine authority."

The fact that the River God's divine authority could not be fully manifested because of his own lack of strength was indeed somewhat beyond Chen Luo's expectations.

To be honest, wasn't the River God in "100,000 Cold Jokes" also pretty weak?

Nobody can beat me!

And you could easily get beaten up and have your golden and silver axes stolen...

But despite being a vegetable, its vitality is truly remarkable!

Chapter 578 The Convening of the Immortal Realm Conference

Chen Luo's position as the River God in his original world guarantees that Chen Luo will not die there, because after a god is conferred a title, even if he dies, he will be resurrected in his own divine domain (in any river). He will only become very weak for a period of time, experiencing a rather long period of vulnerability.

Of course, true immortality does not exist.

There are quite a few gods who fell after being conferred titles; Chen Luo only learned this after downloading Yvette's knowledge.

Several conditions need to be met to completely kill a god.

First, he smashed the other party's Divine Authority Seal, which is the ring on Chen Luo's head now.

Secondly, they wiped out all the areas the other side ruled.

The City God destroyed the City God Temple, the Mountain God flattened the mountain, and the River God filled in all the pits.

However, killing Chen Luo might be quite costly, requiring the filling up of all rivers throughout China and even globally.

In this way, once Chen Luo is killed again, Chen Luo will truly be unable to be resurrected.

Of course, if you think filling up all the rivers in the world is too much trouble, there is another way.

A divine war was initiated by another god against this god.

Loser's Feast, Winner Takes All.

However, if they truly cannot defeat you, the gods can refuse a divine war.

Unfortunately, this divine power can only be Chen Luo in this world, and it's not even possible to fix this ability into a conceptual power.

Because this is a unique system specific to this world.

However, in Chen Luo's opinion, it might be possible to do it even without using these two methods.

For example, by using conceptual or even multiple conceptual means to erase something.

Conceptual attacks have extremely high priority.

Even the enhancements to concepts and multiple concept items by the Six-Star River God will be weakened.

"Oh, right, by the way, let's double-check that the River God is immortal." Thinking about how real-world River Gods are quite immortal, Chen Luo began to doubt the abilities of his six-star River God.

Primogem - 200

There's no reason why a River God's position could do something like this; a six-star River God's position couldn't.

Incidentally, the reason why the River God's divine position cannot be fixed as a conceptual ability is twofold: firstly, because the River God's divine position is a divine position, not an authority, and divine positions are unique to this world; secondly, because Chen Luo himself is already the River God, so he cannot be fixed as the River God.

After a while, the river god's fourth ability gradually appeared.

[Effect 4]: The River God is immortal. All gods are immortal. As a conceptual god, as long as the concept of a river exists, the River God will not completely die. After death, the River God will be resurrected at a selected river or in any random river.

However, there is no absolute immortality in the world. The concept of immortality can be obliterated by attacks from other, higher concepts.

And being immortal does not mean it cannot be sealed away.

"A concept of higher essence..." Upon seeing this entry, Chen Luo subconsciously shifted his gaze from the talent panel upwards.

Then I saw my talent.

As it turns out, there are indeed talents in this world that are fundamentally superior to 6-star SSS-rank Talent.
