CHAPTER 69: CH 69 : BLESSINGS

Ten minutes.

That’s all the time Sunny had left to choose his next talent.

He was in deep thought, his mind racing through a list of countless possibilities.

He had many talents to choose from, but only a few were truly useful for his current plans.

Nova’s time affinity was powerful, but she was already handling the time flow well enough.

His thoughts then fell on Mammon’s intuition or Nova’s space affinity for a future project.

Sunny quickly decided on intuition.

The space affinity was not immediately required, but intuition could come in handy, a constant warning in case of danger.

He closed his eyes and reached out with his mind, a connection forming between himself and Mammon.

He found his new demigod instantly, located in the demonic capital, standing in front of the current demon king, who held the highest position under the Demon Lord Deimos.

Sunny didn’t waste any time.

He used his Skill-Resonance talent and, in a flash of divine energy, copied Mammon’s intuition talent.

Sunny then used his God’s Eye to peer into his own soul and found the description of his new talent.

[Talent Name: Divine Intuition

Grade: SS

Description: You now possess the ability to foresee any possible danger.

This talent will also help you in finding the right choice to make.

Your sixth sense is enhanced.

Your life forms now have a greater chance to acquire the Intuition talent.]

"As expected," Sunny said with a quiet satisfaction.

He had already guessed the upgrades this talent would provide.

He liked the feeling of knowing future danger in advance.

Now he could have rested well if not for the many things that required his personal touch.

The first was to give the blessings talent to all the demigods who participated in the battle against Xar’gath.

Sunny gave 2 billion merits to each demigod.

This would allow them to acquire the talent of giving blessings to their race, and with the remaining billion merits, they could use this talent multiple times.

All the demigods decided to bless some of the life forms in their race with the talents they had copied.

This created a cycle: they would take a good talent from a member of their race and then bless the strongest life form with it.

This would increase the overall strength of their entire race.

When the demigods possessed hundreds of talents, this ability would shine the most.

But for now, the blessings were not as powerful as it could be, as giving an SS-Grade talent was out of their power, and giving a low-grade talent was not as beneficial.

The only ones who truly benefited from this were Nova and the demigods of life, Uranus and Gaia.

Nova earned the most merits because she single-handedly defeated the demon and made him run away.

Uranus and Gaia earned the most because they were a single entity but got merits based on two demigods.

In this period, Anaske had already returned to the Realm of Advancement, as his father, Thorn, was already dead.

The soul of Thorn was then caught by Uranus and Gaia to take him to the heavens.

Thorn was now living in heaven.

It was a feeling he had never felt before, a peace so profound he felt like he had been living in a dream.

He had been living there for more than 15 years.

The number of souls in heaven kept on increasing.

Many left for reincarnation, while others enjoyed the bliss of heaven, forever content.

Thorn was the only one who had the opportunity to be reborn into a new body and with new and powerful talents.

Today, however, a strange feeling washed over him.

He felt a tinge of guilt in his heart.

"Why does it hurt?" Thorn said as he placed his hand over his chest.

Suddenly, he saw a raven perched on one of the branches.

Its eyes were like two small stars in the vast cosmic sea.

He was mesmerized and quickly bowed in front of it.

But the raven just flew away.

Thorn, compelled by a force he didn’t understand, followed it.

After ten minutes of continuously following the raven, a grand structure finally came into his view.

It looked like it was made up of cosmic dust.

The walls shimmered like stars, and even the floor looked like the night sky.

Thorn entered the giant palace without much thought, as he was too familiar with those eyes.

They were none other than his god’s, God Cosmos’s.

Upon walking into the deepest part of the palace, he found what he had been trying to find the most when he was alive.

"God Cosmos," Thorn said, kneeling on the ground, his head touching the ground made of cosmic dust.

"Thorn," Cosmos asked in a deep and calm tone, "Why did you follow the raven now?"

"I wanted to meet my god since I was a child. You were the first to recognize my talent and also the one who protected us from the demons by creating powerful demigods," Thorn replied earnestly.

"Then what were you waiting for, for 15 years? I haven’t noticed your wish to meet me, and the raven was always there since the last 15 years" Cosmos said, his mask hiding all his emotions.

"It..." Thorn’s mind felt blank.

He couldn’t deny it. For the past 15 years, he had lived comfortably in heaven and had no desire to leave, so he had forgotten about his long-cherished wish to meet Cosmos.

And the reason he thought he was not able to see the Raven in the last 15 years was because of his weak faith.

"I am just kidding. I don’t need you all to leave your good life for me," Cosmos said in a serious tone. "I came here today to ask for your future paths. You have a chance to be reborn, an opportunity not all souls would possess."

"I don’t know," Thorn sighed and replied to Sunny’s query. "Even if I return to Veridia in a new body, I don’t think I will be happy by being reborn."

"you should think about it more. Sooner or later, Veridia will need you," Cosmos replied.

With his reply, the entire scene shifted. Thorn returned to his house in heaven, and Sunny’s clone returned to the God space.
