Senior, your integrity is truly admirable!

God of Love and Maidens.

One of the new gods who has been quite active in Pro World in recent centuries. Due to the fall of the God of Love, they are currently competing with the Fallen Goddess of Lust for the orthodox domain of the God of Love's divine office.

Their power is very weak, possessing only a weak Divinity and divine power. If it weren't for their identity as the daughter of the God of Love, they would have been swallowed up by other covetous gods long ago.

Even in Pro World, their followers are very limited. This time, they are ambitiously entering Earth, hoping to carve out a large share and even directly inherit their mother's divine office and Divinity.

Xu Nan recalled this impression from his bloodline.

"What the heck. Just a god with weak divine power..."

Xu Nan was somewhat speechless, "Leaving aside the strange name 'Love and Maidens'; this sudden Divine Favor is too ridiculous, isn't it? Why would it choose me?"

"Could it be because I caused massive critical damage to couples, which attracted its attention, and then it saw how handsome I am?"

He thought for a moment and found this reasoning to be quite plausible.

Then he resolutely chose to refuse!

Are you kidding? Choosing to become a Chosen One of a weak god in Pro World right now is something only someone with a pig's brain would do, right?

No matter how great the temptation of Divine Favor, even if it could make him a Demigod in one go, he wouldn't consider it for half a second. In fact, he highly doubted whether the God of Love and Maidens could even achieve that.

Xu Nan had no interest in gods, nor did he have any faith. Becoming someone else's lackey was something he deeply resisted in his heart.

Even if it was given the nice-sounding title of "Chosen One," it was the same.

Even if the other party was a beautiful maiden, it was the same!

This was also one of the reasons Xu Nan gradually developed a slight resistance towards Zhang Yingluo. Ever since he learned she was a Paladin of the God of Truth, he found it rather dull.

He felt that as a Chinese person, one should only revere, not believe; if one were to believe, they should believe in themselves, or in their wise ancestors.

In the bloodline memories of the Ron Sorcerer, the gods of Pro World were not beings worthy of admiration; there were several Ron Sorcerers in the current world who could sit as equals with gods!

"Let's go deal with the issue of those privileged guys in the Alchemy Heart."

After refusing the Divine Favor, Xu Nan started to get a headache.

The Lost Paradise Alchemy Heart kept sending him invitations, like spam messages, and there was no way to refuse.

If he blocked them, there was a good chance he would be retaliated against by these privileged guys the next time he entered the Lost Paradise.

The Ron Sorcerer bloodline was essentially just a bloodline; and the system, whose full name was "Bloodline Growth Guidance System," was designed by powerful Ron Sorcerers to facilitate the growth of their descendants.

Theoretically, the Ron Sorcerers at the Lost Paradise headquarters had the authority to deactivate the systems of certain Sorcerers who severely violated the rules; and Sorcerers who were stripped of their systems could, of course, still awaken their bloodline in their own way, but the danger was much greater.

Furthermore, they would not receive technical support from the Lost Paradise.

There were also a few Sorcerers in history who were stripped of their systems, but their fates seemed to be not very good.

Xu Nan knew that the Lost Paradise Alchemy Heart could not represent the will of the Lost Paradise headquarters. If the big shots at the headquarters were like group owners, then these guys in the Alchemy Heart who were spamming him with messages were, at most, a group of administrators.

"Sigh, when you're under someone else's roof, you have to bow your head!"

Xu Nan ultimately chose to compromise. No matter what, he would go to the Alchemy Heart first and try his best to preserve his interests. This unexpected situation was probably because they didn't expect Xu Nan to accumulate so many Activity Points in one go!

After agreeing to the Alchemy Heart's request, a golden teleportation gate opened before Xu Nan.

Xu Nan stepped into it.

A mysterious sensation enveloped him.

"Welcome to the Lost Paradise Alchemy Heart!"

The next second, a floating single-person airship slowly opened its hatch. Xu Nan sat inside.

The single-person airship instantly rose from the ground.

At that moment, Xu Nan saw countless scenes surrounding the Alchemy Heart. He saw towering Titan giants carrying out missions on various planets; he saw powerful Ron Sorcerers casting spells that shattered half a plane; he even saw scenes of some Ron Sorcerers engaged in Alchemy, many of them busy.

Countless orbital vehicles circulated at high speed in this seemingly ethereal plane!

This was completely different from the backward Alchemy Heart Xu Nan had imagined.

It was like a futuristic science fiction world.

The speed of the single-person airship was simply too fast. With Xu Nan's current physical condition, looking at the outside for too long would only make his eyes ache.

"Seventh Alchemy Heart Special Reception."

The airship slowly stopped.

Xu Nan got off the ship, and an apprentice-like person was already there to guide him, "Are you Mr. Xu Nan? We are truly very sorry, this matter was due to our Alchemy Heart's inadequate preparation. We didn't expect that someone could get so many lottery opportunities."

"The two people in charge have been waiting for a long time. This kind of accident happening is very difficult for them as well, so please be understanding."

This apprentice spoke quite well.

Xu Nan nodded. At least these people didn't resort to using their authority to suppress him or anything similar.

The reception area was quite spacious. When Xu Nan walked in, two Alchemists in white robes were discussing in low voices:

"Bat droppings and teeth are one thing, but those materials must be recovered."

"We gave him the Alchemy blueprints too. Anyway, we copied them from everywhere, so intellectual property rights don't exist."

"And the gems and precious metals, try to recover as many of those as possible too. Oh, and all that magic equipment."

The two of them only coughed and stopped their discussion when they saw Xu Nan enter.

Xu Nan's face showed displeasure.

Were these two saying this on purpose for him to hear?

When he was doing the lottery, he actually felt he had gone a bit too far. Everything that appeared later was things like Greater Demon Hearts, Devil's Hands, Ancient God Severed Fingers, and so on.

Not to mention the magic equipment, precious metals, and gems that filled the warehouse.

These items were incredibly tempting, even for Legendary Professionals.

Xu Nan, a first-rank Sorcerer, carrying these things was actually dangerous. His idea was that some of the items could be returned, and the magic equipment, metals, and gems too, but hearing the tone of these two, it seemed they wanted to recover everything!

This, Xu Nan was not happy about!

After exchanging pleasantries, the two politely invited Xu Nan to sit. Xu Nan looked innocent: "Did I do something wrong?"

The two exchanged a look and coughed, "The physical rewards for the first-rank Ron Sorcerer guidance system are handled by our Seventh Alchemy Heart; to be honest, Mr. Xu Nan, the points you earned are unprecedented and have severely exceeded our material reserves..."

"So, you're saying you weren't prepared?" Xu Nan interrupted.

The two looked awkward, "That's what it is, but we've never encountered this before..."

"Whether you've encountered it before or not doesn't really matter, does it?" Xu Nan smiled, "I didn't exploit any loopholes; I followed the rules completely. From what you two are saying, you want to take back my rewards?"

The two shook their heads rapidly, "No, no, that's not what we mean."

"Mr. Xu Nan certainly didn't break the rules, but this matter is quite significant, which is why I invited you over to discuss it."

"Regarding the rewards that are recovered, we will try our best to compensate you in other ways."

Xu Nan smiled, "What ways?"

One of the Alchemists tentatively suggested, "Gold ingots?"

Like turning stone into gold?

Xu Nan couldn't help but want to complain. These Sorcerers were truly shameless. It was clearly their own dereliction of duty, yet they wanted someone else to take the loss.

He said calmly, "As for compensation, gold ingots won't do; Mithril, Adamantine, Tears of the Monarch, and Tears of the Stars are all acceptable, or other rare metals and gems are fine too."

The two Alchemists' eyes widened. Xu Nan's request was a bit beyond their capabilities.

One must know that Mithril and Adamantine weren't common items either. Most Mithril mines had disappeared from Pro World along with the banishment of the Arcane Empire, and the same went for Adamantine. As for Tears of the Monarch and Tears of the Stars... let's just discuss Mithril and Adamantine!

Xu Nan's exorbitant demands made things very difficult for them.

"This matter is beyond our authority."

One of the older Alchemists sighed, "How about this, we won't bully you with our seniority. Let's ask the Legendary on duty today to make a ruling."

Another Sorcerer frowned, "Mr. Luo Mang is currently locked in a fierce battle with an Abyssal Lord on the forty-sixth layer of the Abyss. It might not be good to bother the old gentleman, right?"

The next second, a booming voice rang out:

"Who is it, calling out my name?!"

A bright radiance flashed, and a tall, muscular old man with a full head of white hair, leaning on a staff, emerged from the void!

Although the old man appeared aged, he walked with vigorous strides, a staff in his right hand, a sword on his left hip and a saber on his right, radiating an imposing aura.

"This humble one, Ersen (Water), greets the Radiance of the Sun Chaser, Guardian of the Lost Paradise, God Kingdom Hunter, Abyss Trembler, Purgatory Dominator, Star Realm Ten Seats, Pride of the Dragon... Mr. Exxon Romang!"

The honorifics the two Alchemists recited made Xu Nan's head ache.

He only heard the last name clearly.

Exxon Romang? Isn't that...

"It's alright. Don't mind these empty formalities."

Luo Mang's voice was deep. He glanced at Xu Nan, "I am aware of your matter. Wait a moment."

Suddenly, an uncontrollable chaotic force surged from the void!

A terrifying monster emerged. Luo Mang instantly cast over ten Legendary spells, fixing the nearby space-time and planes.

Through the amber-like plane mirror,

Xu Nan saw a disgusting and somewhat comical monster rise from the Abyss. Its entire body was covered in heads!

Face after face stared coldly at the Sorcerers in the Lost Paradise, emitting a sound like a chorus: "Exxon!"

"I've found the secret to defeating you! The reason I lost to you a few days ago was because I only had one head, and you are best at headshots!"

"Now, I've had a succubus from the sixty-seventh layer transform me into a new form with over ten thousand heads!"

"Let's see what you can do to me, hahahahaha!"

Before the laughter faded,

Old Mr. Luo Mang said, "Fool!" Then he stepped into the Abyss, raised his staff high, and transformed into thousands of figures. In just ten seconds, he blew up all ten thousand heads!

Xu Nan didn't even see how he did it. The battle was over.

When the old gentleman returned from the Abyss, he held only a crystal ball. Inside the crystal ball was clearly that comical Abyssal Lord!

"Amazing... worthy of being one of the three legends of Lost Paradise."

The two Alchemists were filled with emotion.

The old gentleman calmly waved his hand. "I pretty much know what happened now."

"Xu Nan, you just need to return the Ancient God Severed Finger and the Devil's Hand."

"You don't need to return the other things. After all, this was a mistake on our part at Lost Paradise, so there's no reason for you to return anything else."

The two Alchemists' eyes widened.

Xu Nan immediately beamed and shouted loudly:

"Senior, your integrity is truly admirable!"
