Chapter 72: Chapter 72: The Mystery of ’Positional Values

"Taking advantage of free gains brings joy."

"For Yang Qizhou, it meant double the joy."

"This is truly delightful."

...

...

"Lena displayed an expression of attentiveness; truth be told, she was quite curious. Why would this ancient ’King of Giant Gods,’ who possessed power stronger than that of the ’Divine Sovereign,’ not be considered a divine being?"

"Whispers you’ve never heard before emerged by your ears—this was the response from ’King of Giant Gods’ Okas."

"He spoke..."

"Divinity is not about kinship, nor is it a mere reflection of a higher order of existence."

"Not limited to divinity itself, the strength of any transcendent life is determined by the level of its ’position,’ not by elements like ’honorific titles,’ ’authority,’ ’symbols,’ or ’concepts.’"

"And as the holder of the ’Deterioration’ authority, ’King of Giant Gods’ possesses a position second only to the universe’s ’Pillars,’ as one of the Old Kings of ancient times. Ordinary divine beings don’t even qualify to stand before Him."

"I see,"

"You suddenly understood, but new questions began forming in your heart: If beings who wield ’authority’ are transcendent, then what differentiates ancient dominators from divine beings?"

"You hesitated, unsure whether you should ask this question,"

"After all, the ’Dark Crow of Profane Fortune’ had already been used once; you couldn’t return to the previous decision point anymore. If repeated inquiries caused the ’King of Giant Gods’ to feel disgust, the consequence would be irreversible."

"Being naturally cunning, you were acutely aware that offending a being stronger than all other divine beings was not a wise decision."

"The ’King of Giant Gods’ Okas, an ancient dominator from the bygone era, with power surpassing divine beings, easily saw through your thoughts."

"He did not fully address the question lingering in your heart but instead left a hint."

"Divine beings... accept divinity."

...

...

"Holy crap, this is amazing."

"The secret information revealed by the ’King of Giant Gods’ is invaluable, surpassing even the worth of an epic-tier artifact."

"Yang Qizhou halted the text refresh to digest the newfound knowledge."

"There had long been speculation: divinity doesn’t refer to tiers of existence nor a broad term encompassing certain entities. Divinities differ in strength, such as the ’Dream Hidden King,’ an ancient Divine Sovereign, who couldn’t even resist ’Mother of Beauty and Fertility’ and was easily slain."

"Previously, though, there was no clarity on how to differentiate."

"Now it’s clear. The division of strength between ’divinities’ isn’t solely determined by ’authority,’ ’concept,’ or ’symbolism.’ The most crucial factor is ’position.’"

"This revelation... carries immense value." freёweɓnovel_com

"There’s something intriguing about the ’King of Giant Gods’ last statement as well,"

"Divine beings... accept divinity?"

"Could this imply that there’s a hidden secret to attaining ’divinity’?"

"Yang Qizhou’s mind was filled with questions: How is ’position’ assigned? Why does the ’Lord of Night’ target the Giant God Clan? Can divine beings wield multiple forms of authority? What underpins the clash between the Lord of Night and Dream Realm Sovereign?"

And so on and so forth...

"Unfortunately, the text-based adventure style of [Deceit World] doesn’t allow the plot to be redirected based on the player’s intentions."

"Thus, solutions can only be found as the story progresses."

"The text continues refreshing."

...

...

"Though filled with countless uncertainties, you understood the principle of restraint and opted not to push further inquiries. Instead, you expressed gratitude toward ’King of Giant Gods’ Okas."

"The ’King of Giant Gods’ Okas was satisfied with your humility. He said..."

"Weak mortal, the conditions you present are insufficient for My kind to repay your favors. Nonetheless, your humility has earned My favor."

"Thus, I shall grant the ’Seal of Decline,’ which serves as a testament to the friendship between us. With this seal, from now on, whenever giants encounter you, they shall express respect toward you and extend help during your time of peril."

"A sudden sting pierced your arm,"

"A shade of twilight appeared—a representation of the ’Seal of Decline’ forming."

"You obtained the ’Seal of Decline.’

"Okas, the ancient dominator who wields the authority of ’Deterioration,’ has extended His friendship to you, granting you the destiny achievement ’Twilight Blessing.’

Seal of Decline (No Level Restriction): A witness to the bond between you and ’King of Giant Gods’ Okas. When giants see this seal, they may show you respect and offer aid during hardship.

Twilight Blessing B+: A destiny achievement gained through forging friendship with ’King of Giant Gods’ Okas. Achievement effect: Each of your attacks will inflict three negative statuses—’aging,’ ’slowdown,’ and ’weakness.’

...

...

"Never would I have expected such unexpected gains..."

"Yang Qizhou became exhilarated. Though the storyline was convoluted—first scheming against Alice, then attempting to annihilate the ’Dream Realm’s Child,’ utilizing even the super-epic-tier [Tree of Hunger], which nearly turned the tables in favor of the ’Old Gods’ believer—the rewards were truly remarkable."

"Terrifying disasters unfolded at the end of the First Epoch."

"The ’Lord of Night’ ascended to divinity, becoming a cosmic ’Pillar.’

"The enigma of ’position.’

"And so forth..."

"Although this secret knowledge doesn’t translate into tangible benefits, its value far exceeds that of a mere ’artifact.’ Moreover, under specific circumstances, this ’information’ could even save your life."

"And then there’s this B+ destiny achievement: Twilight Blessing."

"Setting aside the summonable item ’Shepherd Dog Farm Key,’ this destiny achievement is likely Yang Qizhou’s sole offensive ability for now."

"When conflicts arise, stacking three negative buffs will make defeating adversaries effortless."

"Finally, Yang Qizhou shifted his attention toward the ’Seal of Decline’."

"During the Destiny’s Blessing event, there was an option for ’Giant God Bloodline,’ allowing him to gain acceptance from the Giant God Clan. Although he didn’t choose it, fate seems to have circled back. While he didn’t receive the Giant God Bloodline, he gained the friendship of the ’King of Giant Gods’ instead."

"This is truly delightful."

"Just that... something seems like it’s being overlooked, something important?"

"Engrossed in the joy of his gains, Yang Qizhou didn’t dwell too much on the thought."

He shifted into a more comfortable position on the sofa and continued gaming.

...

...

"The exalted figure of the ’King of Giant Gods’ Okas gradually merged into hues of twilight. Before completely vanishing, He left behind a sentence..."

"Humans bearing the power of ’protection,’ if you ever have the opportunity, you are welcome to visit the ’Giant God Peak.’ My kind will be awaiting you."

"You gazed in the direction of the ’King of Giant Gods’ Okas’ disappearance and pondered... Giant God Peak? It must be the dwelling place of the Giant God Clan. Yet after all these eons, one questions whether any giants yet remain."

"Without the positional suppression of ’King of Giant Gods’ Okas, [Tree of Hunger] began to stir, intent on digesting you and Lena into its excrement,"

"Sensing imminent danger, both of you fled ’Fire Stealing Mountain’ immediately."

"You returned to Fire Stealing Village, safeguarded by the ’Twilight Barrier,’ finally shaking off the peril, free from further worries of safety."

"Upon witnessing your return alongside Lena, the villagers flocked toward you, firing inquiries one after another. Upon learning of Fire Stealing Village’s newfound safety, everyone burst into jubilant celebration."

"After the festivities, you and Lena returned to the Night Watcher’s hut. Abruptly, you turned to Lena, your face devoid of emotion, your gaze cold, and said..."

"Miss Lena, you still owe me an explanation."
