Chapter 62: Ch 62 : Overgrowth!

Sunny used his God’s Eye on himself, a reflexive habit that now felt as natural as breathing.

[God Name: Cosmos]

[Profession: B-Grade Mage, C-Grade Body Refiner]

[Talents: Skill-Resonance (SSS-Grade), Magic Affinity (SS-Grade), Manifestation Affinity (SS-Grade), Cloning (SS-Grade), Divine Growth (SSS-Grade)]

[Faith Points: 21 billion]

His mind immediately latched onto the newest addition.

The name was “Overgrowth,” but the talent he had copied in the turns out to be evolved version of it,”Divine Growth”.

A flash of insight hit him, and the details of his new SSS-Grade talent flooded his consciousness, a torrent of pure, unadulterated knowledge.

[Talent Name: Divine Growth]

[Grade: SSS]

[Description: With the increase in understanding of the talent,it can grow and reach SSS-Grade.

This talent’s potential is limited to SS-Grade for lifeforms.

There is also a chance of learning new talents if one attempts to learn them, but this is impossible if you do not have any affinity for it.]

“What? How? Why?” Sunny’s mental voice echoed with genuine shock.

He had simply copied a talent that was supposed to make his lifeforms’ talents a tier higher, a boon for their development.

But this… this was something entirely different.

The potential of this talent was staggering.

He imagined a day when all his lifeforms would become demigods, their enhanced talents providing him with a colossal stream of faith points.

This talent meant his people would no longer be limited by their inborn potential, but could grow based on their own efforts and desires.

A born archer could become a master swordsman simply by training and having a desire to do so.

It was a revolution, a divine gift that would change the very fabric of his world.

Sunny was not one to do things anonymously.

He wanted his people to know the source of their good fortune.

He gave this information to the high priests of every race, and upon hearing the news, the entire population of Veridia erupted in a chorus of joyous praise.

But the most heartfelt reaction came from Thorn, the wise human leader who had been stuck at C-Grade for 250 years, with only 200 more years left to live.

The Divine Growth talent was a lifeline, a new chance for him to reach B-Grade and increase his lifespan to 1,000 years.

The next few hours were the best of Sunny’s divine life.

The Gods were praising God Cosmos for the Cosmic Shop, which had revolutionized their tedious existence, while his life forms were showering him with gratitude for the Divine Growth talent.

Sunny didn’t play any games or read a single novel.

His entire focus was on the growing number of faith points and the learning of new talents in Veridia.

The time acceleration was set to a staggering amount—8 hours for him would be 100 years for them.

It had been 50 years in Veridia, a period that became known as the Great Technological Boom.

The first five years were a period of intense study as humans tried to uncover the concepts of engines they had seen in the Divine Library.

Then, it happened.

The talents for “Engineering Machines” began to appear, directly tied to the new knowledge.

This talent was what helped them to truly understand and innovate in the field.

In the 20th year, the first stream engine was created.

The human demigod earned a huge amount of merits for that, which spurred the other demigods to push their races to produce similar results.

A new collaboration began.

The elves, with their deep understanding of mana, proposed using it as a power source instead of steam.

The dwarves, masters of craftsmanship, used the elves’ blueprints to create the first mana engine.

The demigods of both races earned a massive chunk of merits, fanning the flames of friendly competition.

All over Veridia, races began to produce items they were best at.

Pixies created stardust, a magical dust that came in different colors, each providing a unique boost to the user.

The stronger the pixie, the more potent the effect.

Giants, with their innate strength, became masters of brutal combat and large-scale construction, building new cities in both Veridia and the Realm of Advancement.

The Titans, with their enormous size, decided to live in the mountains.

They graciously refused the offers to live in cities, fearing they would accidentally crush a life form in a moment of inattention.

The Machina Race was currently working on advancing the next generation even more, incorporating powerful inbuilt weapons with the help of the dwarves and humans.

Merfolks explored the vast oceans, providing valuable materials and resources.

The Beastfolks assisted other races according to their talents, their natural abilities a perfect complement to technology.

Fairies, with their light magic, worked as exorcists, using their magic to cleanse any traces of demonic energy from Veridia.

As per Sunny’s command, Nova was only allowed to kill the demigod of the demon race and leave the rest for the life forms to kill.

This had become a daily training exercise, with the Dragonborns proving to be the most proficient demon slayers.

While all this was happening in Veridia, the population was also increasing at a huge rate every year.

According to Sunny, it wouldn’t be long before their interstellar journey began.

But before that, he needed to plant a core idea in their minds: that Veridia was just a small ground, and the entire universe was theirs to conquer.

For that, he turned to the Divine Library.

Now, many books talked about the conditions and resources of different planets and universes.

He knew that the next step was to unite all the races and form an empire.

This was made easier by the fact that all the races already worked together in the Realm of Advancement.

In the third hour of the ninth godly day, the Cosmic Empire was born.

The rules and regulations were still imperfect, but they were being changed and evolved through the combined discussion of all the races, a true democratic union.

“Almost there,” Sunny whispered to himself, a feeling of anticipation coursing through his veins.

He looked at the long list of numbers in front of him, the number that represented the culmination of all his efforts.

[Faith Points: 99,999,999,142]
