Chapter Summaries

After reaching 200 pulls, Chen Luo used Resonance Summon with River God Authority, Lake God Authority, and Sea God Authority, creating an SSS-rank River God divine position. The summon also left behind a Divine Position Expansion Slot, and Chen Luo wondered whether he could use it to broaden his new authority.

• Chen Luo reached the 200-pull pity and received River God Authority before the guaranteed final pull.
• The system offered Chen Luo a Resonance Summon, and he sacrificed River God Authority, Lake God Authority, and Sea God Authority.
• Chen Luo witnessed a vision of a man emerging from the Milky Way and saying that the galaxy was a river too.
• The summon created an SSS-rank River God divine position, which Chen Luo learned he would have to explore on his own.
• Chen Luo found a Divine Position Expansion Slot that could add three related authorities to his divine position.

Chen Luo tested his upgraded River God Authority by summoning a river and turning dropped items into gold, silver, and ordinary versions, discovering that fulfilling its duties granted versatile River God Power. He then asked Yvette to appraise the transformed spirit stones, and she identified the silver one as equivalent to a high-grade spirit stone.

• Chen Luo installed the Divine Position Expansion Slot on the River God and summoned a river to explore his new authority.
• Chen Luo dropped snacks into the river, chose to appear in it, and received gold, silver, and ordinary bags whose flavor grew better with their grade.
• Chen Luo learned that River God Power came from fulfilling divine duties and converted some of it into magic power.
• Chen Luo tossed a mid-grade spirit stone into the river and brought back gold, silver, and ordinary versions.
• Chen Luo asked Yvette to appraise the three spirit stones, and Yvette judged the silver one equivalent to a high-grade spirit stone.

Chen Luo demonstrated that his River God power could upgrade items, then had Yvette help him claim an enhanced Angel Ring and test his divine ability. After giving the ring to the Herrscher of Knowledge and explaining that fulfilling his divine duty granted him power, Chen Luo asked Yvette to help with another experiment.

• Chen Luo showed Yvette that the illusory river could produce golden and silver copies of her Angel Ring, and Yvette opened the rings and examined their upgraded contents.
• Chen Luo kept the golden Angel Ring and told Yvette how to explain the silver ring, while Yvette broke the golden ring's owner seal and coughed blood from the backlash.
• Chen Luo healed Yvette and took the golden Angel Ring, then changed its appearance and gave it to the Herrscher of Knowledge, while withholding her dinner for wishing he would hit pity.
• Chen Luo explained that his River God authority granted him divine power when he fulfilled his duty, and Yvette wondered how his authority compared with that of angels.
• Chen Luo asked Yvette to help with another experiment, leaving her wary of his intentions.

Chen Luo used the illusory river to summon strengthened versions of Yvette and the Herrscher of Knowledge, but the golden copies quickly faded. Golden Shi Bao stole Chen Luo’s first kiss before vanishing, and the Herrscher of Knowledge jumped into the river to pursue her, leaving Chen Luo to discover that living beings could apparently be summoned repeatedly.

• Chen Luo ordered Yvette into the illusory river, where Golden Yvette appeared, punched him, and vanished after flipping him off.
• Chen Luo dismissed Silver Yvette and made Yvette kneel to peel sunflower seeds as punishment while the Herrscher of Knowledge questioned his ability to create copies.
• The Herrscher of Knowledge jumped into the river, and Chen Luo summoned ordinary, silver, and golden versions of her.
• Golden Shi Bao kissed Chen Luo, promised to explain why she was fading later, and disappeared before the Herrscher of Knowledge could attack her.
• The Herrscher of Knowledge jumped into the river to summon Golden Shi Bao again, and Chen Luo was pulled into the river as well.

Chen Luo tested the River God Talent by summoning enhanced versions of items and discovered why some golden versions quickly disappeared. He learned that his current strength limited summons to S-rank and that he needed divine power to unlock greater divine authority.

• Golden Shi Bao summoned many copies of herself, while Silver Shi Bao summoned copies of Herrscher of Knowledge, and Chen Luo dispelled them when they attacked him.
• Herrscher of Knowledge tossed Yu Du Chen into the illusory river, and Chen Luo confiscated the golden, silver, and ordinary versions before returning them to her.
• Chen Luo tested the River God Talent with several items, finding that golden Elemental Eye amplified its effect to forty-four times but quickly disappeared, while enhanced Void Archive versions vanished almost immediately.
• Chen Luo spent Primogems to identify the River God Talent’s attributes and learned that divine power came from fulfilling divine duty and that damaged golden and silver versions could not be summoned again.
• Chen Luo learned that his current strength limited enhanced summons to S rank, and that accumulating divine power or growing stronger would unseal further divine authority.

Chen Luo explored the limits of his River God Ability, discovering how its copies weakened or dissipated based on rank and item type. After testing several items, he concluded he was still too weak to unlock more of his divine authority, then asked how to persuade the Holy Grail War Servants to play Truth or Dare.

• Chen Luo reasoned that his River God Ability’s copies dissipated faster at higher ranks and that he needed divine power to unlock more authority.
• Chen Luo tossed the Friendship Revolver into the river and received silver and golden versions with stronger laughter effects and added penalties.
• Chen Luo threw a Primogem into the river, but it sank beyond reach, while Morgan refused to test the river herself.
• Chen Luo duplicated a Plague Gem and concluded that an enhanced Herrscher Gem would remain an S-rank ability unless further conditions or modifications changed it.
• Chen Luo wondered how strong he needed to become, and Yvette considered his support-focused divine authority far from weak.
• Chen Luo asked Herrscher of Knowledge how to convince the Holy Grail War Servants to play Truth or Dare, and Yvette suggested changing the game’s name.

Chen Luo explored the River God Ability, then examined the Moon Clock Talent Pendant and tested its time-stopping power. He learned he could move through stopped time by spending magical power, and released the others before Morgan noticed something was amiss.

• Chen Luo removed Morgan’s Command Spell, dipped it into the illusory river, and returned with nine Command Spells on his arm; he promised Morgan he would not use them carelessly.
• Chen Luo inspected the Moon Clock Talent Pendant and activated its ability to pause time, entering a grayish-white world where he could not initially move.
• Chen Luo used the Elemental Eye’s time power to move through the stopped world, but discovered that touching and moving objects consumed large amounts of magical power.
• Chen Luo plucked a strand of Morgan’s hair, freed the Herrscher of Knowledge from the time stop, then froze her again and returned her to her seat.
• Chen Luo lifted the time stop and told Morgan he had spent too much magical power; Morgan noticed him and continued staring at her tea.

Chen Luo learned that he was about to receive a divine investiture as a River God and sought Yvette’s advice on how investiture worked. Yvette explained its rewards and limits, leaving Chen Luo to wonder whether another god could control his divine office.

• Chen Luo stopped at the Bar Door after his Destiny Ability warned him that stepping into reality could trigger his investiture.
• Chen Luo sent Herrscher of Knowledge to place a teleport anchor far from home with the Xuanyuan Sword to conceal his identity during the investiture.
• Chen Luo summoned Yvette and asked her what investiture meant.
• Yvette explained how gods gained investitures, what rewards they could receive, and why the first investiture of a millennium was fiercely contested.
• Yvette told Chen Luo that the church would gather enough Faith Power for its own investiture within half a year and that early investitures granted powerful divine offices or items.
• Chen Luo asked whether a sea god or the Jade Emperor could control him as a River God, and Yvette said a higher god could appoint a subordinate god only before an investiture filled that divine office.

Chen Luo became the first River God of the millennium through apotheosis at the Luo River and received the Luo Script. He chose the River Diagram as his additional reward, then asked to take all three rewards and was expelled from the reward space.

• Yvette explained that she had been the church's apotheosis candidate and realized Chen Luo was about to become a true god.
• The Herrscher of Knowledge returned and told Chen Luo that the distant river she had found was suitable for apotheosis.
• Chen Luo underwent apotheosis at the Luo River, received a Divine Seal, and was named River God.
• A turtle shell emerged from the Luo River and transformed into the Luo Script in Chen Luo's hand.
• Chen Luo entered a reward space and chose the book, which he suspected was the River Diagram, over Faith Power and spirit stones.
• Chen Luo asked if he could take all three rewards, received permission, and was kicked out of the space.

Chen Luo completed his divine appointment as the River God of the Luo River and collected all three rewards, then evaded worldwide investigators by using the Xuanyuan Sword and obscuring the heavenly secrets around him. Back at the bar, he learned that the Herrscher of Knowledge had chosen the Luo River for him, while Yvette evaluated his rewards and remarked on their value.

• Chen Luo returned from the divine appointment with a ring, two books, and Faith Power, and realized he had received every reward.
• As the heavenly protection faded, investigators tried to divine Chen Luo's identity, but the Xuanyuan Sword shattered their phantoms and severed the heavenly secrets around the Luo River.
• Chen Luo escaped to the bar, while injured investigators arrived at the river and argued over their failed attempt to identify him.
• Chen Luo asked the Herrscher of Knowledge why she had chosen the Luo River, and she said it suited him and made the River God title sound good.
• Yvette examined Chen Luo's rewards and found that the ring held a large supply of spirit stones, though she noted the church would have claimed most of them if she had received them.

Chen Luo examined his vast Faith Power and the River Diagram and Luo Script, discovering that the ancient treasures had useful abilities and that the Luo Script could suppress the Herrscher of Knowledge. He then considered the final seal proving his River God identity and wondered whether his authority extended to rivers worldwide or only those in Huaxia.

• Yvette estimated that Chen Luo’s Faith Power could create several faith-based gods, and Chen Luo stored it away rather than placing it in either Archon’s Gnosis.
• Chen Luo and Yvette discussed the River Diagram and Luo Script’s powers, including drawing on stars, concealing heavenly secrets, discerning fortune, and suppressing targets.
• Chen Luo tested the Luo Script on the Herrscher of Knowledge, whose turtle-shell form pinned her down and later grew larger when she suggested stewing it into soup.
• Yvette explained that the final seal proved Chen Luo’s identity as a River God and could let him exercise a god’s authority.
• Chen Luo wondered whether his River God authority covered rivers across the world or only rivers in Huaxia.

Chen Luo learned that his river god seal granted him authority over China's rivers and access to the Immortal Realm Conference, then returned home with Morgan and the others. After appraising his six-star river god ability, he discovered that even its conceptual immortality could be erased by something of higher essence, and his gaze turned to his own Talent.

• Yvette explained the seal's functions and told Chen Luo that, as China's legitimate river god, he could appoint subordinate river gods across the country's waterways.
• Chen Luo reshaped his Divine Authority Seal into a halo, then left the bar with the Herrscher of Knowledge and Morgan and returned home with the River Diagram and Luo Script.
• Chen Luo considered how to spend his remaining Primogems and focused on gathering divine power and strengthening himself so he could fully manifest his river god authority.
• Chen Luo learned that destroying a god required erasing their seal and domain or defeating them in a divine war, then appraised his six-star river god ability.
• Chen Luo's appraisal revealed that he could revive in a river while the concept of rivers existed, but a higher-essence conceptual attack could erase his immortality; he looked toward his Talent panel.

Chen Luo considered how to strengthen his parents enough to become Faith gods, then accidentally entered a meeting of Chinese gods and fled when he saw their unruly gathering. He returned to the river and tested his River God role by offering a student three watches, leaving the student with all of them as a reward for honesty.

• Chen Luo weighed making his parents Faith gods or subordinate gods and searched his strange lottery rewards for items that could quickly increase their strength.
• Chen Luo activated his Divine Authority Seal and was pulled into a Council of Gods meeting, but he quickly left after seeing the solemn assembly.
• After Chen Luo disappeared, the gods argued over his identity and whether they had frightened the new River God, while Fuxi quarreled with a birdlike god.
• Chen Luo returned to a river, asked a student to identify his lost watch, and gave him the gold and silver watches after he chose his own ordinary watch.

Chen Luo discovered that his River God authority could summon him to rivers anywhere in the world, then tested whether the Milky Way in his Puppet Collection Vault counted as one. Summoning copies of Earth brought him a large but limited surge of divine power, and he was left staring at a flash of golden light beside the Golden Earth.

• Chen Luo gave a boy three watches he had retrieved from a river, rejected the boy’s request to become his disciple, and urged him to finish his summer homework.
• Chen Luo explained to the Herrscher of Knowledge that he could respond to valuable offerings in rivers worldwide and considered using clones to fulfill his River God duties.
• Chen Luo realized the Puppet Collection Vault could let him test his authority safely, gathered its false stars into a Milky Way, and moved Earth into the starry river.
• Chen Luo emerged from the Milky Way and summoned three versions of Earth, gaining substantial divine power while finding that the copies remained inside the Vault.
• Chen Luo considered what to do with the extra Earths and saw a flash of golden light beside the Golden Earth.

Chen Luo created a River God avatar in the Puppet Collection Vault and arranged the Golden Earth and Silver Earth as a sun and moon. After realizing he could travel through rivers in distant realms, he considered using Teleport Anchors to send Chinese S-rank Talent Users to sealed lands, but he was interrupted by a valuable item falling into the Luo River.

• Chen Luo dispelled the copied puppets, including Golden Yvette, then set the Golden Earth and Silver Earth on opposite sides of Earth as its sun and moon.
• Chen Luo used Faith Power to create a mindless River God avatar in the Puppet Collection Vault, where puppets could throw items into rivers to receive three versions.
• Corrupted Ji Lin tossed in the Xuanyuan Sword, and Chen Luo told her to take the silver copy back.
• Chen Luo discovered that he could sense rivers in realms such as the Heavenly Court, Heaven, and Mount Olympus, and considered charging a toll to send Chinese S-rank Talent Users into sealed lands.
• Chen Luo received a notification about a valuable item in a river, emerged with three dharma artifacts, and found himself at the Luo River among a crowd and a bewildered Old Monk.

Chen Luo escaped a gathering of cultivators after returning one of the monk’s Vajra Bracelets and keeping the other two, then realized they might have been useful for arranging trips to the Immortal Realm. The cultivators concluded that he likely possessed the River God Talent and began planning how to contact him, with Ye Yunshang throwing her storage ring into the river to draw him out.

• Chen Luo returned the Old Monk’s chopped Vajra Bracelet but kept the golden and silver bracelets, then argued with Ye Yunshang about the remaining artifacts.
• Ye Yunshang revealed that she was afraid of heights while flying on her sword, and Chen Luo teleported away as more cultivators gathered around him.
• Back at his sofa, Chen Luo realized he could have offered the cultivators a chance to visit the Immortal Realm in exchange for spirit stones and Primogems.
• Ye Yunshang told the Old Daoist Priest and the Old Monk that Chen Luo’s ability appeared to be the River God Talent, though its exact powers were uncertain.
• The cultivators discussed the possibility that Chen Luo could enter the Immortal Realm and agreed they needed to contact him, so Ye Yunshang threw her storage ring into the river as bait.

Chen Luo confronted Ye Yunshang and the other cultivators on the Luo River, trapping Ye Yunshang and capturing a heart demon that had tried to flee. After learning they wanted his help opening a passage to the Heavenly Realm, he left the request unresolved and prepared to take the heart demon back for Little Knowledge.

• Ye Yunshang challenged Chen Luo with a talisman containing her disciple's sword aura, but Chen Luo used the Luoshu and Turtle Shell to seal her inside a small cage atop her greatsword.
• Chen Luo caught a heart demon avatar attempting to attack him, and the gathered leaders identified a young girl as the likely culprit.
• Old Monk deflected the girl's shadow-claw attack, and she fled as black smoke after threatening the sect leaders.
• Chen Luo pursued the heart demon, pulled her from a bird's consciousness sea, knocked her unconscious, and captured her in a net.
• Chen Luo learned the group wanted him to establish a passage to the Heavenly Realm, but he declined to answer directly and said he would take the heart demon with him.

Chen Luo brought a captured inner demon home and introduced her to Herrscher of Knowledge and Morgan. When the inner demon attacked Morgan, Chen Luo stopped her and revealed that the Xuanyuan Sword had already badly injured her.

• Chen Luo left the group by jumping into a river after giving Ye Yunshang a way to contact him and agreeing to share any news from the Upper Realm.
• Ye Yunshang secretly asked Old Daoist Priest to investigate young, unaffiliated Talent Users who might be Chen Luo, while Old Daoist Priest warned her not to provoke him.
• Chen Luo used a Teleport Anchor to bring the beaten inner demon into his home and showed her to Herrscher of Knowledge and Morgan.
• The inner demon pretended to be unconscious, then lunged at Morgan when she approached.
• Chen Luo blocked the attack, explained that the Xuanyuan Sword had already severely wounded the inner demon, and punched her on the head.

Chen Luo captured and transformed a weak inner demon while Morgan assessed her new Master and considered what she wanted from him. He gave the Herrscher of Knowledge an official identity as his cousin, though the application described her as having grown from the soil and triggered an unexpected mission.

• The Xuanyuan Sword restrained the inner demon, and Chen Luo tied her up before transforming her into a puppet.
• The Herrscher of Knowledge rejected eating the inner demon, then consumed her Inner Demon Seed after Chen Luo removed it and the inner demon died.
• Morgan reflected on her betrayal, her weakened state, and her desire to find a way back to her Lostbelt, while considering whether Chen Luo could be trusted.
• Chen Luo told the Herrscher of Knowledge she could not have dinner after six and offered to grant her a wish in exchange.
• The Herrscher of Knowledge asked for an identity as Chen Luo's older cousin, and Chen Luo registered her as his cousin, grown from the soil, triggering a mission to become an S-rank Talent User.

Chen Luo considered whether to register as an S-rank Talent User and used divination to learn that doing so was the best choice. He arranged for Sister Meng to deliver a teleport anchor so he could visit his parents and give them modified Heavenly Scented Cardamom.

• Chen Luo read Herrscher of Knowledge’s elaborate Ghost Cousin identity and decided to put its registration task aside while considering how to reveal his S-rank status.
• Chen Luo consulted the River Diagram and Luo Script, which indicated that telling the Relevant Department about his S-rank Talent was the optimal choice.
• Chen Luo called his mother, learned that his parents were inspecting Miskatonic University, and arranged to send them two Heavenly Scented Cardamom beans.
• Chen Luo gave Sister Meng an iron box containing a Portable Teleport Anchor and a contract to ensure she reached his parents’ location before opening it.
• Chen Luo explained to Herrscher of Knowledge that he planned to teleport to his parents after Sister Meng arrived and hand her the beans to deliver.
