Chapter 76: 075 Still unclear effect

Chapter 76: 075 Still unclear effect “This...” Shane was at a loss for words as he read the contents of the book. If that was the case, then he almost didn’t need to wonder anymore about who bestowed the “Supreme God’s Blessing” upon him or why. No, ever since he had first heard of the existence of the “Supreme God,” Shane had some understanding of who the being that blessed him, or rather, who Nien, the one who gave him that blessing, might be. Now, the content in the book told Shane the true identity of his blessing and of Nien, the one who had granted it to him. “Each and every one of them hides quite deeply, huh.” ... Shane felt vaguely dissatisfied. Because the more he understood about this, the clearer it became that he had been drawn into a deep vortex of facts. “According to this book, basically, all life in the Human Realm receive God’s Blessing; any member of the Human Race is brought by their parents to the Temple for the bestowal of blessings upon turning one month old. If an individual with astonishing potential is born, they might even attract an Upper Level God to grant the Blessing.” Under such circumstances, it was said that if a being of the Three Great Goddesses level were to bestow a blessing, then that blessing could transform a person, accelerating their growth or even endowing them with talents and qualities they didn’t originally possess, allowing one to learn skills and magic they were previously incapable of learning. The effect was quite astounding. Throughout history, the number of lives that had received such a level of Divine Blessing could be counted on one’s fingers. The blessings that heroes summoned to this world received come from any one of the Three Great Goddesses. As for the Supreme God, it seemed that they had never bestowed a blessing upon any individual. But now, no matter how one looked at it, Shane appeared to have come into possession of that Legendary Grade thing. While the other heroes only received blessings from one of the Three Great Goddesses, he had directly received the Supreme God’s Blessing. Was it because he was more special than those heroes? Shane always felt that the reason couldn’t be just that. “Hero summoning occurring after a thousand years, in a time where the war had ended and peace was made among the Three clans, was itself an extraordinary event.” Without a doubt, the pinnacle of the Divine Race is the Supreme God, an object of worship and unquestionable loyalty for all in the Divine Race, even to the point of blind loyalty, as the Divine Race’s life all originates from the Supreme God. Members of the Divine Race must regard it as a mother and an absolute ruler. Following this are the first-born Three Great Goddesses, with the rest of the Divine Race being divided into Upper-level Gods and Lower Grade Gods. Their status and rank are very distinct. Unquestionably, the pinnacle of the Demon Clan is the Demon King, and after the Demon King’s death, the Six Great Demons are held in the highest esteem, followed by the Upper-level Demon Clan and the Lower Demon Race. The hierarchy is very similar to that of the Divine Race, with the difference being that for the Divine Race the determination of rank and status is based on the importance and number of domains they oversee, whereas with the Demon Clan, it is purely based on the level of their power. If a particularly powerful and promising individual were to emerge, they may even be directly recruited by one of the Six Great Demons to join their personal staff, elevating their status above even those of the Upper-level Demon Clan. For instance, Killian is from the Upper-level Demon Clan and used to be under the command of the Dragon Demon, one of the Six Great Demons. His superior was one of the Dragon Demon’s personal staff. Had Killian continued to develop unobtrusively, he might have become one of the Dragon Demon’s personal officers after a hundred years, and then, excluding the Six Great Demons, Killian’s rank in the Demon Clan would have been amongst the highest. Unfortunately, Killian joined the Old Demon Clan Faction and now has left the Dragon Demon’s command, becoming a major criminal and wanted fugitive. Regarding the Divine Race, as earlier mentioned, rank and status aren’t determined by power, but by the importance and number of domains overseen, so there are Upper-level Gods with no combat abilities and Lower Grade Gods with extraordinary combat skills. Only the Three Great Goddesses have powers incomparable by any others, existing on the same level as the Six Great Demons. “So you’re saying, in the modern world where the Demon King has perished and the Supreme God has also secluded himself, the Three Great Goddesses and the Six Great Demons are the visible pinnacle individuals in terms of both status and power?” Shane somewhat understood. “Looking at it this way, the Divine and Demon worlds aren’t complicated. They have clear hierarchies and simple structures, whereas the Human Race is much more intricate.” The Human Race is divided into several races such as Humans, Dwarves, Beastmen, and Elves, with each race having different standards of rank and status and uneven distributions of power. Compared to the Divine and Demon clans, it is undoubtedly much more complex. The Mitra Kingdom where Shane currently resided was just one among many countries of the Human Realm. “I wonder what the highest level of combat power is within the Human Race, or to put it another way, who would be the strongest among humans?” With this thought in mind, Shane returned the book “Divine’s Blessing” back to the bookshelf. Of course, there was much he still did not understand, and Shane would have to learn little by little. For now, Shane wanted to look for other books. “I wonder if they have it here.” This, in fact, was what Shane was most looking forward to. With that expectation, Shane began to roam around the library. About half an hour later, he left the library in a good mood, carrying a book with him. The title of the book was “Magic Basic Studies.”
