Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 487 The Lord of Pleasure's Demand

"Just as I expected, the Chaos Child potion was digested immediately." Roland breathed a sigh of relief, not surprised at all. More than the digestion progress of the Chaos Child potion, he was actually more concerned about something else:

"The ascension ceremony of the Lord of Pleasure is to personally facilitate the birth of an Old One. The supporting material is a book that records all my stories in this world. It needs to include the impressions and evaluations of me by everyone in this world who is related to me. The Old Chaos has no ceremony. After I ascend to the Lord of Pleasure, I will ascend to Chaos at the same time."

Thinking of this, Rowling flipped his hand and the ancient book belonging to Lucifer appeared in his hand.

This ancient book was originally a tool he used to refine Lucifer's character, but later Rowling did indeed record a lot of things in it, including his various observations and experiences.

It can be said that this book records most of Rowling's story in this world, and now it only needs further refinement.

Besides that, it's natural to let other people write down their impressions and evaluations of him on this.

"I'm starting to feel a little embarrassed..." Rowling couldn't help but laugh. He then stood up, humming a little tune, and found Little K, who was helping Bethel with his work.

"What is my impression and evaluation of you, Mr. Lucifer?" Little K asked, clearly taken aback.

“Yes, and your impressions and evaluations of Jack should also be written here.” Rowling nodded with a smile, handing the pen and the ancient book to Little K, and said, “This is very important.”

Little K was clearly confused, but he knew Lucifer would never try to fool him on something like this.

So even though he was still confused, Xiao Ke's expression became serious. After thinking for a while, he finally picked up his pen and started writing.

Rowling waited for him a while, and only after Little K finished writing did he pick up the notebook, glance at it, and then read aloud with a smile: "The best teacher, mysterious and powerful, extremely protective of his own, but a little hypocritical..."

Little Ke couldn't help but cough and whispered, "It's Mr. Lucifer, you said you wanted to hear the most honest evaluation..."

"Don't worry, I'm not angry." Rowling smiled and shook his head, then looked at Little K's evaluation of Jack. Unlike the relatively formulaic "Impression and Evaluation of Lucifer", Little K's evaluation of "Jack" was much more down-to-earth. He wrote down "best friend", "seems naive and innocent, but actually cunning", etc., filling more than half a page with dense writing. There were also some complaints and some comments that were obviously tinged with resentment.

For example, "Jack likes to make up fanfiction about other people. Although I respect personal preferences, it's really not good."

"I can see that you really have a deep-seated resentment towards fanfiction," Luo Lin said with a smile.

Xiao Ke lowered his head and quietly looked at the patterns on the table.

Hmm, this table is really a table!

"What's going on?" Just then, Bethel returned and immediately noticed the strange atmosphere on the scene, so he asked.

“It’s nothing.” Rowling shook his head, then looked at Bethel and said, “But you’ve come at just the right time…”

Then Luo Lin explained his needs.

“Impressions and evaluations…” Bethel pursed his lips, holding the pen Rolin handed him. After several seconds of deliberation, he finally wrote: “The best boss…”

Bethel didn't write much, only a few lines. After glancing at them, Rowling said, "【A soft-hearted child】, Hmm, Bethel, you still see me as a child after all."

Bethel smiled without saying a word and looked up at the ceiling.

Wow, this ceiling is really something!

Looking at the two pretending to be stupid, Rowling shook his head and didn't really argue with them. Instead, he quickly found Medici.

"Are you sure you want me to write this?" Medici held the pen, glanced at Rowling, and smiled with his usual sarcastic tone: "Don't blame me if you cry from anger."

“Don’t worry, I definitely won’t blame you.” Rowling smiled at him and said, “Besides, I don’t think my heart is that fragile.” “Heh!” Medici chuckled, then paused before picking up his brush and writing on the ancient book:

"A little monster I can be loyal to, a friend I can trust."

After finishing writing, he threw the pen and the ancient book into Luo Lin's arms, clapped his hands, and said, "Get lost, don't interfere with my work."

"That's it?" Rowling naturally saw what Medici had written, and because of that, he was quite certain that the other party had only written two sentences, or even just one sentence.

"What else do you want?" Medici glanced at him, then suddenly curled his lips into a smile and said, "Isn't this enough? I don't have many friends I truly trust in my life, and even fewer people I'm loyal to."

Luo Lin raised an eyebrow, then suddenly laughed and said, "Hmm, that's right, that's enough."

“So what exactly is going on?” Medici asked.

"I'm just preparing for my final promotion," Roland said with a smile, not hiding anything.

Medici frowned slightly upon hearing this. He paused for a moment and asked, "Is everything alright?"

"Don't worry, I'm confident," Luo Lin replied with a smile, then added, "Alright, I still need to gather other people's impressions and opinions of me, so I won't stay any longer."

"Tsk." Medici watched his figure disappear, clicked his tongue, and seemed to be thinking about something.

……

Lorin visited everyone he knew, collecting their opinions and impressions of him. Finally, he arrived at the Forsaken Land and visited the Sun God, who was rebuilding the Chaos Sea.

"You look pretty good?" Roland looked the Sun God up and down before giving his assessment.

"Perhaps it's because of the Messiah's assistance?" The Sun God smiled gently, gazing at Roland before him, and asked, "So, is there something you need?"

Rowling immediately explained the situation.

Upon hearing this, the sun god glanced at him, took the pen and ancient book, and wrote on them: "The greatest blind box I have opened, a miracle of this world, a monster we must always be wary of..."

As Rowling watched Him write, observing the contradictory comments, he couldn't help but say, "You look like you have a split personality."

"My trust in you stems from personal feelings, while my wariness of you is based on reason," the Sun God replied calmly. He then smiled gently, returned the pen and ancient book to Roland, and asked, "Are you about to take the final step?"

He didn't think Rowling would collect these things for no reason.

"More or less!" Roland didn't deny it. After putting away the ancient book, he looked at the Sun God and asked, "And what about you?"

"Probably more or less." The Sun God smiled gently, pointing to his head with a rare hint of playfulness, and said, "I'm arguing with God. If I win, I'll be the new God."

Rowling wasn't surprised at all, and simply smiled and said, "See you tomorrow, Grisha."

"Hopefully, by then, we can all become the past."

"See you tomorrow, Rolin," the Sun God replied softly, gazing at the young man before him.

May you never fall.
