CHAPTER 82: CH 82 : ADAM’S PREDICTION

"Still 30 minutes left for the next talent acquisition," Sunny sighed to himself.

A mere thirty minutes was less than the blink of an eye for a god, but for Sunny, it felt like an eternity.

His talent acquisition had already been enhanced to one talent every eight hours, a rate that would make any mortal gasp in disbelief.

Yet, his impatience, a very human trait that had followed him into divinity, still gnawed at him.

He wanted it to be even faster, but there was nothing he could do.

The reason for this infuriatingly slow pace was the sheer scale of the SSS-Grade treasures that the old Gods had left behind in the Realm of Advancement.

This information, along with many other cosmic truths, had been shared by Adam in his three-hour speech on the day the old system had died.

Because of the treasures, both Veridia and the Realm of Advancement were equally important in the grand cosmic scheme.

This meant that the time difference between the two worlds couldn’t be too vast, as a large discrepancy would negatively affect the lifeforms in both realms.

Bored, and with nothing to do, Sunny decided to visit Adam.

He appeared in the modern house that Adam lived in and his eyes immediately fell upon Adam.

Adam now looked even more ethereal, his form so translucent that it seemed as if at any second, he might simply vanish into the shimmering light of Sunny’s God Space.

He wasn’t engrossed in a game as he had been on Sunny’s last visit, but was instead looking at Veridia, a rare expression of quiet contemplation on his face.

A smile, as luminous as it was fleeting, appeared when he saw Sunny.

"So, what does our God Cosmos need to know from this old soul?" Adam said, his voice a soft echo, a tone so full of humor that it almost made Sunny forget the reason for his visit.

"I just came to visit you, as your old soul is about to return into the Cosmos," Sunny replied, returning the joke with his own.

"Haha, Cosmos, you do have some humor," Adam said, his laughter a silent, beautiful light.

"Well, let’s cut to the chit-chat. I wanted to know, is there any way to save you?" Sunny said, his voice now serious, the jesting tone gone.

Adam thought for a second, the light of his form flickering. "There is a way, as you know. SSS-Grade treasures can have wondrous effects on a God."

Sunny nodded. He hadn’t used any SSS-Grade items yet, but the effect of the SS-Grade treasures he had used was more than enough to make him understand.

"And there exists a Pill of Life. It is an SSS-Grade treasure that only appears once every few million years," Adam continued, looking at Sunny, trying to read his face for any sign of greed or even hope.

But Sunny showed no emotion at all. He just listened and nodded, his expression completely unreadable.

"I understand," Sunny said, his voice devoid of any emotion.

After a while, he said his farewells to Adam, but a seed of thought had been planted in his mind.

Sunny sat on his throne, his thoughts wandering. He looked at Veridia, the planet now a living, breathing testament to his power, but his thoughts were on his conversation with Adam and his talent, Divine Growth.

This talent had a function that allowed it to evolve any talent to SSS-Grade with prolonged and continuous use.

His thoughts suddenly drifted towards his affinity for the Law of Manifestation, and he decided to use his Divine Growth talent to evolve this talent.

He decided to manifest the base of his future source of income.

He first manifested a subspace within his God Space, a pocket of nothingness.

Then, from the vast cosmic dust and gases, he manifested a huge chunk of a new world, a place of his own creation.

He then used his faith to increase the pressure on the dust and gases to form a perfect sphere, a new planet, large enough to accommodate ten billion people.

He didn’t stop there. He manifested air, an atmosphere, and planted the seeds of different kinds of fruits and trees.

Then, in a final, majestic act of creation, he created a fireball from his faith, a never-ending sun burning at around fifteen million degrees Celsius. Sunny made this fireball rotate around the sphere in an elliptical path, bringing light and heat to his new world.

"A few more finishing touches," Sunny said in a voice filled with a sense of mysterious satisfaction.

He then manifested a portal near the subspace, and it consumed around twenty faith points.

This portal was a doorway, a link between his God Space and the subspace he had just created.

Then, Sunny created another portal, but this time, it was far away from the first one. It still costed him twenty faith points.

"How strange. It still takes just twenty faith points, even after I doubled the distance between the portal and the subspace," Sunny mused, a new question now on his mind.

"Does that mean distance is not the key here? So how does it work?"

Sunny wanted to solve this mystery. He could manifest a portal to any subspace after analyzing the portal to the Realm of Advancement, but he didn’t know the mechanism behind it.

He wanted to understand the reason behind it.

He called Nova, the demigod of space, to understand the mechanism behind this.

Only a painter truly knows how to draw, and only a master of space would know the true nature of such a portal.

In a few seconds Nova arrived in the God space of Sunny.

Nova bowed respectfully in front of Sunny and began to analyze the portal according to Sunny’s wishes.

"Master, the principle behind this portal is actually very simple. It connects two points of space and joins them. This thing is easy to create if we have the coordinates for both locations," she said, her mind currently in a state of epiphany.

Sunny didn’t disturb her. He knew that for a demigod, such an epiphany meant a huge opportunity.

It could allow Nova to create a new spell or even an entirely different opportunity.

As all this was happening, Adam, floating like a ghost, arrived outside of his house and looked towards Nova.

He then turned to Sunny and, with an expression of profound certainty, said, "Your dragon has a huge chance of becoming a God in the future."

This statement sounded like a melodious ringing in Sunny’s ears, a divine prophecy.

He quickly looked towards Adam and asked him for the meaning of his statement, his mind already racing with the implications.
