Chapter 109: Celestial Patronage
"Now, we have to place all the buildings we have collected and summon the clansmen so that we can become a real cultivation family," he said.
He wanted this not only because there are so few people but also because each time a family upgrades its level, it will receive generous rewards from the World's Will.
And when he thought about this, he could not help but remember the rewards he got before the world had merged. He received two rewards but did not check them.
One was for spending billions of luminas in the game mall, and the other was for helping the World's Will popularize the game.
He did not check those items because the system told him that the World's Will wanted him to check them after using his family token, which made him curious at that time.
But after a few days, his attention shifted, and he lost interest in them until now when he was talking about the resources they got and how to distribute them.
So he quickly opened up his status bar and checked the inbox section, which had a small "2" on the top right section.
He opened the inbox and saw two gift boxes for him sent by the World's Will.
He then clicked on the first gift which was given to him for spending so much money.
Gift Name: Celestial Patronage
Type: Divine Blessing
Description: The Celestial Patronage is a rare gift the World's Will gives to someone who has spent a huge amount of money in the game Immortal Odyssey: Paths of Destiny.
It's a special reward that comes with powerful benefits and marks the recipient as someone truly important.
Effects:
Heavenly Aura: The holder gains a glowing aura that makes others naturally respect and admire them. This aura is a helpful tool for making a good first impression on everyone they meet.
Divine Insight: The holder is granted a deeper understanding of the world's secrets, allowing them to see through tricks, find hidden treasures, and avoid dangerous situations.
World's Favor: Luck is on the holder's side, making battles, events, and important encounters more likely to favor them. Breakthroughs and success come more easily.
Immortal Soldiers: The holder is granted a special Army manual that is unique in the whole void.
When they are first trained, the soldiers trained by this manual have Peak Ace level strength. However, the holder can only transfer one soldier per day due to their immense strength.
They are given the right training and equipment, and their talents are boosted.
Divine Summons: Once a year, the holder can call upon the World's Will for help in a critical situation, receiving protection, guidance, or a temporary boost in power.
Legacy of the Celestials: Once every hundred years, the holder can go to a special subspace under the Supreme Will with the legacies of some of the most sought-after figures.
Feedback: Celestial Patronage has never been seen in the long history of the void, and even the Supreme Will has no idea about it, as the World's Will crafts this blessing with the help of two unknown figures.
When he read about all the effects of the blessing, he was shocked. He had never seen or heard of the World Wills of other planets giving out blessings like this to anyone.
Each effect can be deemed powerful in itself, but when combined, they make this blessing seem too OP.
The first effect, Heavenly Aura, is similar to the charm effect seen in the succubus clan or the nine-tailed fox clan, who are able to have a subconscious effect on everyone to have a positive impression on them, which has caused them to be the most loved and hated races in the void.
However, Xu Qianghua liked this effect as it helped him a lot with first impressions, which sometimes decide whether the other side wants to talk to you or try to kill you and loot all your treasures.
And this has happened many times in his last life, but they were mainly with people who played the game before the world merged.
But they were, for some reason, used to killing each other and looting, which gave all the players a bad name for the first few hundred years.
Next up is Divine Insight and the World's Favor, which are all the things a protagonist would have in many novels.
This leaves Xu Qianghua speechless as he does not see himself as a protagonist even though he has a harem from the start, has been reborn, and has transmigrated to a different world.
The only reason he thinks so is because all of his life was a happy and joyful one except for the time when his parents died, which made him sad for a few months, but compared to his original life, it is miles better.
But with these two effects, he can almost be regarded as a protagonist, except that no major villain comes after him or his family.
Then there are the Immortal Soldiers, which is something he had never expected, as Army manuals such as these are rare, even in the Top 100 races all across the void.
As they start with the strength of Ace units which is not something that is hard to find in many races as Ace units are not something that can be trained with just the manuals.
They need the correct equipment and the right personnel who have enough qualifications and talent as most of them start from Peak Conscripted units before they are vigorously trained to become Ace units.
There are many races who do not have any Ace units altogether as their physiques are not suited to handle the grilling training process, which is the most necessary requirement.
But the human race has many different Ace units and units above that, along with the Top 50 races, but he does not know what they are called as the highest he has heard were the Ace units.
However, he will soon find out when these Immortal Soldiers rank up from the Ace units, as he knows for sure that this will not be their final strength.
Next is the Divine Summons, which, to be honest, does not need to be said much but to say I can call in the Heavenly Tribulation on my enemies once a year, which is something he never thought would happen.
And why is he sure it would be the Heavenly Tribulation? Because that is the only attack method the World's Will is allowed to use, as anything else damages the planet itself, which is not conducive for itself.
Then there is the protection, which sums up to him not being spied upon by anyone in this world or in this void sector.
That does not mean that this kind of protection is invincible as it can be broken by cultivators who are from a high-level world.
Which they most likely will not do as they do not care about ants like him, even if there was a high-level world in this sector, so he does not have to worry about that at all.
And as the world's level increases, so does the limit, so he does not need to worry much, even if he offended a cultivator of that caliber.
Lastly, there is the Legacy of the Celestials, which he has never heard of in his last life, but he is not surprised about that as, from what he read in the description, it is one of the private subspaces controlled by the Supreme Will.
This means that only those who the Supreme Will acknowledges are able to get a quota to go to this subspace, so when he saw this, his only question was.
'What kind of services did the World's Will provide to the Supreme Will to give it this permanent quota.'
But what he did not know was that this quota was not obtained by the World's Will but by his parents after they had a 'Gentle Talk' with the Supreme Will.
And when the World's Will saw this, it also made sure to record the message 'Never mess with this couple or their son' in its central core so that even if it goes to deep sleep, the subconscious system that manages things while it is asleep does not make any mistakes.
Meanwhile, Xu Qianghua, who had read all the effects and understood their importance, couldn't help but laugh, which caught the attention of all the ladies who were still talking about resource distribution.
"Why are you so happy?" Bai Lingyun asked with a knowing smile as she could see why he was so happy but did not explain.
But Li Xinyue, who still has the backup system which functions like before when her soul was still in his body, saw the playback from his perspective and found the reason for his happiness and had the same reaction.
