The Luo River was fine, but the disturbances caused by the fight made the small fish and shrimp in the Luo River suffer greatly.

And indeed, there was damage to the vegetation along the Luo River.

Could it be that these bastards came here specifically to find Chen Luo?

Surprisingly, Chen Luo actually saw a few familiar faces inside.

Chen Luo's Friend's Ledger can record the identities and past situations of all of Chen Luo's friends, as well as the books they have read.

Therefore, as long as Chen Luo has the Friend's Ledger, he can see their past. That's why Chen Luo likes these friends so much, because he can learn a lot by reading their past, and may even learn some secrets.

The friend list now shows that several of the people present are Chen Luo's friends.

Good grief, you've chased me all the way to the Luo River, haven't you?

But seriously, wouldn't you say I've walked right into a trap?

I bet all of these people are after me.

"Amitabha, fellow Daoist, please return my Dharma implements immediately," the Old Bald Monk said, his hands clasped together.

"So which one is your magic weapon?" Chen Luo forced a smile again.

Since the other person can't see what I look like, it's not a big problem.

"A monk does not lie. That Vajra Bracelet that was slashed twice is indeed my Dharma implement," the Old Monk said quite honestly.

"Alright, here you go." Chen Luo handed the Vajra Bracelet back to the other party.

As for the remaining gold and silver Vajra Bracelet, Chen Luo accepted them with embarrassment.

This thing seems to be a pretty good magical artifact.

"Hey, wait, wait, you river god, that's not fair! Logically speaking, the bald monk has already told the truth, so why don't you give him all three magic artifacts?" Just as Chen Luo was about to go back, a woman dressed in black robes, holding Fly Whisk, who looked to be about twenty or thirty years old, pointed at Chen Luo and said.

Chen Luo turned and glanced at the other person, then fell silent.

This female cultivator must be a cultivator, since she has spiritual power within her.

This female practitioner gave people a stunning first impression, with a graceful and elegant demeanor, a cool and aloof air that transcended the mundane world, and a faint sense of languor emanating from her.

This languidness did not leave a bad impression on others; on the contrary, it attracted more attention.

But this is on the premise of ignoring the Flying Sword the size of a door beneath the opponent's feet and the fence installed next to it.

It looks very... awkward, especially when the other person is still gripping the fence tightly.

Goodness, so she's a fairy who's afraid of heights?

"River God?"

"River God".

"Is this the River God?"

Although the fairy's voice wasn't loud, the others who were fighting definitely heard it.

The powerful figures from the cultivation world who had gathered here because of the River God all stopped fighting and looked in this direction.

"What are you looking at? I'm talking about a river god with innate talent, not a river god who has been deified. You bunch of guys who don't read Aesop's Fables. Keep fighting." The female cultivator with the better-looking face said to the crowd.

"Ignore them. Let me tell you, these old fogies are a bunch of illiterates. They've never even heard of the River God story." The female cultivator then turned to Chen Luo and said.

"And don't play dumb. Let me tell you, I've watched anime. Don't let my current appearance fool you; I used to be a professor, a cultured person, and I've read Aesop's Fables. Isn't it a bit unfair of you to just return an ordinary magical artifact?"

The female cultivator gently patted the railing of the Flying Sword beside her, and the Flying Sword slowly flew towards Chen Luo.

Although the female cultivator told the others to continue fighting, how could they continue fighting when they heard the name of the River God?

These people weren't really fighting; they just got together and, since they were already there, decided to have a fight. They weren't really serious.

There were even a few people standing by and watching, just like this woman.

Upon hearing the name "River God," the group of people, who looked quite old, gradually gravitated towards Chen Luo.

There were also a few beings inside that were not human, but their numbers were very small.

Take, for example, that inner demon over there, whom everyone keeps at a distance, who looks to be the same age as Chen Luo.

Oh, right, right, I'm talking to you! Don't come any closer!

Don't try to influence me with your inner demon abilities, you idiot!

Most of the people in this group didn't really fight, but there were a few exceptions, such as the inner demon and those who weren't human. They were surrounded and beaten by several people, but the inner demon seemed to be unharmed due to its special nature.

"Why are you silent, young man? Are you ashamed by what I said? Are you about to have a change of heart? Well then, how about this? Just give me the silver one, and I won't mention it again. How about that? You can take the gold one; it's not mine anyway." The female cultivator said after carefully maneuvering her Flying Sword closer.

"From a purely rational standpoint, I could indeed give him everything, but he didn't want it, so why should I give it to him?" Chen Luo rolled his eyes at the cultivator and said.

"And don't come any closer. Be careful or I'll knock your Flying Sword off," Chen Luo added.

"!!!" Upon hearing Chen Luo's words, the female cultivator's hand instantly gripped the fence beside her, and her Flying Sword did indeed subtly retreat a little.

"No way, you're really afraid of heights?" Chen Luo looked at the female cultivator with surprise.

"What are you looking at? Be careful, or I'll have my disciple beat you up. Who says cultivators can't be afraid of heights? Who says cultivators have to be proficient with the Imperial Censor's Flying Sword? Can't I not do that? If you keep staring at me like that, I'll hit you." The female cultivator seemed to have her embarrassing situation exposed, and angrily clenched her fist at Chen Luo.

"Um... cough cough, Benefactor Ye, could you please explain what happened in detail?" The person next to Chen Luo and the other person, the monk, coughed twice, interrupting the conversation between Chen Luo and the female cultivator.

"I don't talk to people who haven't read Aesop's Fables," said the Benefactor Ye after glancing at the Old Monk.

"..." The Old Monk suffered because he was uneducated.

That's not right either. The main thing is that they're mostly studying Buddhism, not Greek fables.

"If there's nothing else, everyone, I'll take my leave now. Goodbye." Seeing that more and more people were gathering in this direction, Chen Luo clasped his hands in a fist salute and then used the Teleport Anchor.

Wow, so many people! It's terrifying.

What if they gang up on me and I accidentally kill them all?

Chen Luo wasn't exaggerating this time. Although this group of people seemed very powerful, they were all cultivators. While it's true that cultivators and talents should go hand in hand, it's not certain whether there were any S-rank Talent User among them.

However, these people should all have some pretty good magical artifacts. For example, the Vajra Bracelet that the bald monk just threw was indeed a pretty good magical artifact.

The gold ones should all be at least S-grade.

The original version would probably be rated A, which is at the bottom of the class.

Overall, it's uncertain whether this group can fight, but they are definitely rich.

Because these cultivators should all be those who benefited from the large number of magical treasures and spiritual stones left behind by their predecessors in the Immortal Realm.

However, although this group of people had their trump cards, Chen Luo also had his.

For example... the gold-quality, Insanely Modified Thermobaric Bomb.

After Chen Luo produced this thing, Chen Luo was completely dumbfounded.

It's hard to imagine that a disposable item, initially classified as a four-star item, could be upgraded to a five-star item, and its golden super-enhanced version even surpasses S-rank.

Four-star items are grade A, while five-star items are grade S and SS rank.

Currently, the River God Ability can only summon S-rank items.

However, it's not a big problem. Although the golden modified thermobaric bomb can only exist for one minute, it's a one-time use item. Let alone one minute, 10 seconds would be enough.

Combined with the Void Archive's ability to instantly create a large number of one-time, Insanely Modified Thermobaric Bomb... throw them all into the river and detonate them all.

Let us all go to see God in a joyful manner.

Art is Patrick Star!!!

The key point is that the Insanely Modified Thermobaric Bomb has a damage penetration effect and has extremely high priority.

"Ah, um... did I come back too early?" After returning to the sofa, Chen Luo suddenly covered his face and said.

Thinking about it carefully, wasn't that just a good opportunity to sell—to sell the spots to the Celestial Realm?

Everyone wants to go to the immortal realm, so the other party can send spirit stones and Primogem, and Chen Luo can also send his cousin up there.

A win-win-win situation!

This refers to Chen Luo winning three times on his own.

"But wouldn't it be a bit awkward to go back now..." Chen Luo was a little embarrassed.

Chen Luo was thus caught in a dilemma.

"Benefactor Ye, what should we do now? Is the other party really the River God?" The Old Monk asked the female cultivator, looking at the spot where Chen Luo had disappeared.

"You bunch of old fogies who never watch anime, all you think about is cultivation, don't you know how to enjoy life? Fine, fine, stop looking at me like that, I was wrong, Martial Aunt." Just as this female cultivator was looking down on everyone, she saw an Old Daoist Priest slowly float over and gently raise the Fly Whisk in his hand.

Most of the immortal cultivation sects in the Huaxia Xuanzong sect are related by blood or marriage.

Even if they are not from the same sect, they still need to address each other as "Shishu" (a term of respect for one's senior martial uncle).

The woman's cultivation level was already very high, enough to look down on everyone, but unfortunately, the Old Daoist Priest in front of her had an even higher cultivation level.

"Speak quickly, Yunshang. And all of you, can you just go to the side? Don't meddle in our sect's affairs." But then the Old Daoist Priest pointed at the Old Monk and said.

"Oh, Old Daoist Priest, don't be so stingy. You know we'll eventually find out about this, won't we? After all, everyone here has so many tricks up their sleeve..."

"Hmph!" the Old Daoist Priest snorted coldly.

"Ahem, actually, it's like this. When I saw him come out with gold, silver, and ordinary things, I felt like something serious had happened. First, I'd like to ask, can Talent User become a god after acquiring a talent?" the woman asked.

"Yes, for example, the Talent User in the church, the Night Roaming God in China, and your disciple's sword immortal talent. But these talents only represent inclinations and cannot directly grant divine authority."

"But those with special divine authority, such as the Heavenly Emperor, the Primordial Heavenly Venerate, and Gabriel, cannot possibly possess such talents," the old Daoist said.

"Then... what about the river god?" the woman asked again.

"Impossible. Such talent is impossible," the old Daoist said decisively.

"But if I'm not mistaken, the other party's talent is that of River God Talent. After all, if you think about it carefully, new Abyss Plane have appeared in the last thousand years, so why can't something that hasn't appeared before appear?"

"..." Everyone present fell silent.

"You mean to say that the other party obtained the River God Talent, and then was deified because of the talent itself?" The Old Monk spoke first after a period of silence.

"I'm just guessing, but the prototype of the ability the other party just had really was the River God." The woman blinked and said innocently.

Chapter 582 You think you're the only one with inner demons?

"What are the other party's innate abilities?"

"... It's probably about making three copies of something, so that it can appear in any river, right?" the woman said uncertainly.

But it's probably not as absurd as saying that the Milky Way is also a river, right?

"Any river?"

"I already said it's just a rough estimate. Anyway, all the talents are slightly different from the original talents. You can't be unaware of this, right?" The woman waved her hand impatiently.

"Then... what about the Milky Way in the Immortal Heavenly River?" The old Daoist's question once again plunged everyone into silence.

"If the other party can freely enter and leave the Immortal Realm..."

The value of that is self-evident.

"... So how do we find them now? And even if they can't enter or leave the Immortal Realm, they can still attend the Council of Gods. We need to contact them."

Even if Chen Luo cannot enter or leave the Immortal Realm, just considering the other party's identity as a river god, he should make good contact with him. After all, wasn't the most important characteristic of the first person to be conferred a god communication with the Upper Realm?

He doesn't need to bring anything; he just needs the other party to pass on a message.

Even so, they are willing to pay a considerable price.

Come to think of it, isn't the reason you all started fighting after you couldn't find each other's whereabouts?

Few of the people present truly harbored any ill intentions; they simply wanted to communicate with the Upper Realm.

Finally, a deity from China appeared, and the first one at that, but it turned out that the person was not a member of any faction at all, and no one had even heard of him.

"Find the other party? That's easy. Just throw something valuable into the river, right?" the woman said, taking off her storage ring and throwing it in.

"Ye Yunshang! How dare you put this ring..." The old Daoist priest glared at Ye Yunshang's actions.

"It's about casting a long line to catch a big fish. But everyone here should be careful, they might be S-rank Talent User, we might not be able to beat them. Or rather, we definitely can't beat them," Ye Yunshang said, leaning against the railing.

Ye Yunshang herself wasn't worried about herself, because she was just someone who came to watch the excitement.
