Chapter 522: Your Backstory In Terra

[Other worlds had to rely on those Light Bearers who had blacksmithing skills to forge Light Bearer artifacts and items. But for Terrans and a few chosen human races, they could acquire such items just by opening Treasure Chests.]

[Of course, Treasure Chests weren’t omnipotent. It was just a freebie perk given by the Universe Will to ensure that weaker Terrans and chosen humans could have the means to survive that period of weakness and become stronger.]

[Due to this, most Treasure Chests, even those dropped by powerful Dark Monsters, couldn’t exceed Celestial-grade. Even killing a Dark Monster Lord wouldn’t drop a treasure chest with Divine-grade items.]

[Unlike your Unlimited Food Creation (Gold), the Universe Will couldn’t create these items out of nothing. Origin energy was still used to create them, which made it unsustainable to create Divine-grade items.]

[Due to this, there were Light Sovereigns among Terrans, but their Light Lords were pitiful. Those who had already become a Light Lord had already left Terra to deal with the Dark Monster Lords.]

[Those Terran Light Lords didn’t even wipe out those Dark Monster Sovereigns in the Forbidden Zones. Otherwise, with their power, they could completely drive away the Perpetual Darkness in Terra.]

[Unfortunately, doing that was quite unwise, since Terra would lose the means to become stronger by relying on the Light Bearer Path.]

[Although the Perpetual Darkness caused suffering for the weak, it indeed allowed talented, strong people to rise from mediocrity and shoulder a portion of this universe’s burden.]

[Hearing that you didn’t acquire the Light Bearer Ship from the Treasure Chests, Paul looked at you in a different light.]

[Not only have you comprehended the Everlasting Light Authority and suppressed him despite being several major ranks lower, but you could even forge Light Bearer artifacts and items!]

[Knowing this, Paul couldn’t help but bow his head towards you, speaking in gratitude, "Thank you for sparing my life!"]

[After showing his gratitude, Paul recalled your previous answer and replied, "If Your Excellency is a blacksmith, I can connect with the Light Bearer Associations in this world."]

["They will pay greatly for a blacksmith. Although they can acquire Light Bearer items from treasure chests, it’s still completely random and won’t guarantee that they’d acquire the one they wanted."]

["Moreover, there’s almost no precedent in acquiring a vehicle-type Light Bearer artifact like Your Excellency’s Light Bearer Ship, which is something that a lot of Light Emperors and stronger powerhouses sought after."]

[Paul didn’t hesitate to change his title to you and even called you as if you were a Light Emperor, especially one stronger than himself.]

[After all, even fellow Light Emperors wouldn’t call each other with such a humble approach unless the gap between them was that despairing. The most usual case was a Light Emperor Initial Stage rank powerhouse being humble towards a Half-Step Light Sage rank powerhouse.]

[But for Paul, it didn’t make much difference since he could feel that you could kill him either way. Dignity and pride were useless in front of sheer power, and upholding them was stupidity.]

[As someone who greatly valued his life above all else, Paul wouldn’t just joke about such a matter. You even confirmed with Hint Prompt that his recommendation to you wasn’t a way to trap you, but he truly planned to introduce you as a capable blacksmith.]

[However, there was still a doubt that Paul had, which you’ve decided to resolve. "I can see that you doubt my origin, but fret not, I am from Terra as well. For example, I can see that Silver Chest there."]

[Pointing towards a certain area below you, Paul, and the others, it was even something that Lilith’s XX-rank All Seeing Eyes couldn’t see.]

[After seeing you point towards a treasure chest, they could already confirm with utmost certainty that you were a Terran Light Bearer powerhouse.]

[You estimated that All Seeing Eyes had to be upgraded to an XXX-rank innate talent before it could see those treasure chests.]

[An XX-rank innate talent was roughly comparable to a Divine rank, which meant that the treasure chests could only be seen by brute force through a Heaven rank powerhouse’s means.]

[Moreover, no matter how Paul and the others looked at it, they really couldn’t be convinced if Lilith claimed to be a Terran, especially with her succubus bloodline being so pure.]

[Fortunately, both you and her had not only restrained your charms, but also the bloodline pressure emanated by the two of you.]

[Otherwise, not only would they be reduced to charm slaves that would sacrifice themselves for Lilith’s sake, but you couldn’t even guarantee that Paul and the others wouldn’t turn gay due to how handsome you were.]

[Of course, the bloodline pressure could also turn them into meat patties and implode into blood mists. Dealing with these Normal Humans, a Half-Step Primordial Human such as yourself could easily kill them with just bloodline pressure alone.]

[You estimated that the limit of such influence could reach up to Celestial rank.]

[In other words, even if you were a human with no power rank, you could kill a Celestial rank powerhouse as long as they were still a Normal Human, let alone an Aether rank powerhouse like Paul.]

[You continued, "I used to live in this world, but I had unfortunately stepped into a temporary spatial gate that appeared out of nowhere, which brought me to the Pink Lust World."]

["It’s only after my wife saved me that I trained there and eventually became strong enough to return here."]

[Hearing your backstory, Paul and the others believed it. After all, setting aside that a powerhouse like yourself would have no reason to lie about something that could be confirmed if it were dug deeper, your backstory wasn’t far-fetched.]

[Although it would take a truly unlucky fellow to accidentally step into a temporary spatial gate that suddenly appeared, it wasn’t out of the possibility.]

[Afterwards, you added, "As for your recommendation, I do plan to check the Light Bearer Association. Since I’ve already returned to my home world, staying here for quite some time would be a given."]
