Game World: I Can Share Talents

"How can we be of assistance?"

After learning of Westheid’s identity as a "Divine Favored," the formerly arrogant, aloof, and haughty Celestial Vault People immediately lost their otherworldly air. They thumped their chests and said:

"If it is to carry out the will of the Divine Ancestor, we will not shirk our duty!"

"It’s nothing too major, really."

Westheid spread his hands. "As you can see, I plan to build up my own territory and use it as a starting point to cleanse the Mortal World. However, having just cleared out the Chaos Contamination, the Qinghui Territory is in ruins and needs to be rebuilt from scratch. It’s an incredibly difficult task. I don’t mind working myself to the bone, but if it affects the Venerable Lord’s grand cause of purifying the Mortal World, then my crime would be unforgivable."

"Indeed! If this is what the Divine Ancestor desires, the Celestial Vault People will naturally do everything in our power to help!"

Jing Mu’s eyes lit up. "Once we report this to the Kings, for the sake of the Divine Ancestor, the Warriors of the Celestial Vault Kingdom would not hesitate to sweep across the entire Mortal World!"

"No, please don’t tell anyone else about this."

Westheid hastily interrupted, putting on an expression of deep shame.

"This is my mission alone, and it’s a Trial given to me by the Venerable Lord. Logically, I shouldn’t even be in contact with you... but I have no other choice. I’m in desperate need of some technical support from the Celestial Vault Kingdom."

"I see. I was being presumptuous."

Hearing this, Jing Mu also calmed down. ’Thinking about it,’ he mused, ’if the Divine Ancestor granted his favor to an Earthling, it must be a test and a Trial for him. Otherwise, if it were for some grand undertaking, why not issue a divine decree directly to the Kings?’

’Does this mean... I actually have a chance to participate in a Trial the Divine Ancestor has given to a mortal?’

’What... What an honor!’

An intense sense of honor and mission enveloped Jing Mu, causing the Celestial Vault Person to straighten his back, clench his hands on his knees, and say in a solemn voice:

"I am a Civil Servant from the Celestial Vault Kingdom responsible for foreign trade. I have a certain amount of authority. I wonder, what kind of technical assistance do you require?"

The Celestial Vault Person thought for a moment, then added, "However, if the technology and facilities are too critical, I don’t have the authority to make the final decision. I would have to report it to my Clan."

"Civilian technology will be enough."

Duke Qinghui rattled off a list as if he knew it by heart, counting on his fingers:

"For example, self-contained ecological cycle systems, material printers, food synthesis factories..."

"And also modular construction machinery, a central administrative computer, automated smelting furnaces..."

"Oh, and if possible, I’d like as many Floating Battleships as you can supply. The Celestial Vault Kingdom already sells warships externally, so that shouldn’t be too difficult, right?"

The coolly beautiful Jing Xiao’s eyes widened slightly, clearly surprised by Westheid’s knowledge of the Celestial Vault Kingdom. Her lips twitched as she said:

"Some of those things aren’t actually sold externally... but they are indeed considered civilian technology. Are you planning to build this place into a Floating City on the ground?"

Westheid smiled. "I prefer to call this kind of highly urbanized and automated settlement an Ideal City. You two, I wonder if you can provide me with this support?"

Jing Mu and Jing Xiao exchanged a look, then paused in silence for a moment before answering:

"The allocation of these technological products does not exceed our authority. It can be done."

"However, since you don’t wish to expose your identity as a Divine Favored, we will also need to create a pretense. For example, we could designate the Qinghui Territory as a key trading partner in order to legally and properly transfer these facilities here."

"No problem. Just follow the normal transaction procedures."

Westheid said sincerely:

"It already goes against your principles to make things so convenient for me. If I were to shamelessly ask for even more help, I’d be too ashamed to continue fulfilling my oath."

’In truth, he didn’t have the guts to keep taking things for free. The more he asked for, the more likely his bluff would be called.’

The bluff of being the [Venerable Master of the Azure Heaven]’s Divine Favored was just too effective. Even the arrogant Celestial People, who usually looked down their noses at others, were being unbelievably friendly to Westheid.

Although all Realms of Order were Fanatic Realms dedicated to their respective Divine Ancestors, the Celestial Vault Kingdom was among the most zealous. So-called race and nationality were worthless in the face of faith.

The official business of technical support and trade channels was settled in just a few words. There was no disagreement at all; as long as it was within their authority, Jing Mu and Jing Xiao agreed to everything.

Next, the two from the Silence Clan pestered Westheid, hoping to discuss doctrine with the "Divine Favored."

However, the [Venerable Master of the Azure Heaven] was such a background character that there was pitifully little information about him even in the *Poem of Destiny*. Westheid couldn’t use his informational advantage to bluff his way through this.

So, Duke Qinghui frankly admitted his shortcomings:

"My deepest apologies. Although I am the Venerable Lord’s favored, I myself know little about the deeds of the Celestial Gods. In fact, I would like to ask you to teach me about the great deeds of the Venerable Lord."

Jing Mu leaned forward, his voice filled with excitement:

"Ah, that is something we forgot. In the Celestial Vault Kingdom... no, even on the Floating Cities, the stories of the Divine Ancestor are only passed down within the Clans."

’Preaching to a Divine Favored! I can brag about this experience for the rest of my life! How can those guys from the Sound Clan possibly compete with me now?!’

’Can any other Clan do this?!’

Jing Mu shook his head and said with a serious expression:

"The Mortal World knows far, far too little about my Lord, the [Venerable Master of the Azure Heaven]. Earthlings do their utmost to praise and flatter the Celestial Gods of their own nations, yet they ignore my Lord’s achievements."

"The Celestial Vault People naturally scorn such self-deceiving behavior and pay it no mind, but as the Divine Ancestor’s favored, you absolutely must not believe that false propaganda!"

"Duke Qinghui, please allow me to explain why, compared to the other Celestial Gods, my Lord is the greatest and most supreme being!"

"First is [Star Abyss Wings], who committed the sin of pride."

"He revealed a disdainful smile just for conquering the Mortal World with his descended followers. Such an arrogant Celestial God was doomed from the start, and so it proved. After getting the upper hand on the Divine Ancestor through an insidious sneak attack, he went into a steady decline, eventually fading away into the Supreme Heaven, his fate unknown."

"Compared to him, our God is very humble. He does not contend with the Dragon God, engaging only in limited border skirmishes. This is all due to the mercy the Divine Ancestor shows the Dragon Race. It’s not that our God is incapable, He simply doesn’t want to drive His opponents to despair with a flawless performance, so He deliberately holds back. It’s laughable that some people don’t understand the Divine Ancestor’s kind intentions and even use these incidents to mock Him. I’d advise them to mind their tails."

"Then there is [Yonglan Riding God], who committed the sin of wrath."

"He took up his blade for revenge simply because Demon Beasts killed his entire family. When others questioned his power, he furiously charged into the Chaos Domain and slayed two [Chaos Source Gods] just to prove himself. This violated a line from the Divine Ancestor in the *Prayer of Ascension*: ’I believe a Celestial God must be able to control their emotions well.’"

"And so, the Divine Ancestor sent down His punishment, and the Country of Yonglan has been trapped in a barbaric and bloodthirsty cycle ever since."

"Next is [Radiant Holy Tree], who committed the sin of sloth."

"It thought it was so great just because it defeated [Star Abyss Wings] with the Divine Ancestor’s help, so it founded its own empire and occupied more than half of the mortal lands. And what most don’t know is that when the [Radiant Holy Tree] first ascended to godhood, the one who performed the coronation for this junior was none other than our supreme Venerable Master of the Azure Heaven..."

"After that is [Emperor Qianlu], who committed the sin of envy. He was merely a fledgling, yet he seized the miracle of Ascension, and this, of course, was only because the Divine Ancestor permitted it."

"Then there was the one who committed..."
