Chapter 727: Godfather Class, Fertility Increase Spell
Chapter 727: Godfather Class, Fertility Increase Spell
Neo blinked.
Then let out a short laugh.
“That explains a lot.”
He nodded to himself.
With millions of traits, each giving even the slightest increase, amplification at that scale made sense.
It was absurd, but it made sense.
It also explained how he had leapt from peak Stage 5 to early Stage 6 in terms of combat prowess despite the massive gap that usually blocked progress.
[Honestly, this isn’t even a Trait anymore.]
Neo tilted his head.
“What do you mean?”
[You resonated millions of souls, each carrying a different trait, and stored them into a new Womb of Devil, correct?]
“I did. What about it?”
[What do you think the breakthrough rate is for these traits?]
Neo narrowed his eyes.
“…What are you saying?”
[Each trait will continue to progress. With your current talent, breakthroughs will keep happening. But since you sealed away their individual abilities, leaving only the common denominator to show its effect, only your physical strength boost remains. Meaning—]
The words paused before finishing.
[Your physical strength will grow by 1% every day. When your traits rise to higher stages like Stage 4 or above, the growth rate will increase further.]
Neo’s eyes widened.
He had expected power, but this… this was constant growth without limit.
He rubbed his chin slowly.
“That’s pretty sweet.”
He leaned back, exhaling through his nose.
A small smile pulled at his lips.
“Let’s call this a physique,” Neo said.
[Understood.]
The Record glowed faintly before producing a new entry.
[Transcendental Physique (Ancient Grade) : Level 1]
Neo read the words, then closed his eyes.
“Alright, that’s good enough.”
Neo wanted to test his strength but he held himself.
“It’s funny how I’m a peak Stage 4 God, whose Existence level is low Stage 5, and can fight Stage 6 Gods.”
Shaking his head, he spoke again, “Primogenitor, how do I go to next Heavenbreaker rank? I’m already at peak of [First Step].”
[Question detected.]
[Question: Would you like to use one of your free Primogenitor slots to receive the answer?]
“Yes.”
[One Slot has been used.]
[Please wait while we confirm the modification’s feasibility.]
A pause, then—
[Ding! Answer found!]
[Answer: To breakthrough to Second Step Heavenbreaker rank, you need to evolve your Path.
Your basic ’class’ from your Path is Godfather. The class Level is 1.
You need to reach Level 10 in your primary class to attempt breakthrough to Second Step Heavenbreaker rank.
The answer of how to level up your Godfather Class cannot be provided by Primogenitor as it’s a Unique Class created by your Path, and only you have knowledge about it.
However, given the name of the class, it is assumed you need to increase the number of people you rule, and increase their quality of life and strength.]
Neo read the details and nodded.
He had two primary Classes.
Administrator and Godfather.
Administrator was max level already, and Godfather was Level 1.
“Heavenly Record, how do I level up Godfather Class?”
[Analyzing….]
If Neo wanted, he could simply increase the number of Godfather Class in the status scree.
However, that wouldn’t strengthen his Class in actual terms.
There needed to be tangible difference between Level 1 and Level 2 to actually matter.
Neo did his best to ignore the Godfather name of the class, and focus on the screens flashing before him.
[Analyzation complete.]
[Current population of Nine Heavens: 314 trillion, 27 billion, 921 million, 120 thousand.]
[Current population of Cosmos: 1 quadrillion, 289 trillion, 482 billion, 450 million.]
Neo was a bit surprised.
He hadn’t paid close attention to the exact numbers before, but seeing them laid out like that reminded him just how much ground he had gained.
Even if many of those beings were created, summoned, or absorbed through war, it still meant the scale of his rule was something only ancient monsters used to dream about.
[Requirement to reach Godfather Class Level 2: Increase combined population by 10 times.]
Neo leaned back slightly.
“Ten times, huh? So… I’d need around ten quadrillion in Cosmos and three trillion in Nine Heavens just for the first jump.”
He rubbed his jaw.
“That’s insane.”
A few spells came in his mind that would help him with the requirement.
[Requirement to reach Godfather Class Level 3: Increase combined population by 10 times again.]
Neo’s eyelids twitched.
He then sighed, and thought it through.
Numbers like that weren’t impossible for him, not anymore, but it meant he’d have to expand aggressively and continuously.
The real problem was maintaining stability.
A massive influx of population without structure would collapse his systems faster than anything.
“I will need to create some guardians and more Overseers,” he muttered, already feeling the incoming headache from work.
[Requirement to reach Godfather Class Level 4: Increase combined population by 10 times again.]
Neo nodded, not even surprised anymore.
But then the tone of the messages shifted.
[Requirement to reach Godfather Class Level 5: Population increase by 10 times and satisfaction threshold must be met.]
[Current satisfaction of Cosmos: 60%. Required: 65%.]
[Current satisfaction of Nine Heavens: 40%. Required: 50%.]
Neo stopped tapping his knee and frowned.
“Satisfaction levels? I need to make their lives good, and make them happy?”
[Yes.]
[Clarification: Without loyalty and stability, your dominion cannot be sustained. Godfather Class is based on rule, not simple ownership.]
Neo shook his head, half amused.
“Yeah, I get it. You can’t just cram people into a cage and call it leadership.”
He exhaled slowly.
“Alright, why did the requirements reach so high though?”
[Reward: Upon achieving Level 5, a new skill will be granted to the Godfather Class.]
His brow lifted.
“I get a reward?”
[Yes, Master.]
[Upon reaching Level 5 in the Godfather Class, you will obtain the skill ’Summoning.’]
[It will allow you to summon a person from your Cosmos or Nine Heavens into reality.]
“Hoh?”
He couldn’t help but be surprised.
Pulling items out of his Cosmos wasn’t anything new.
He had been doing that for a while now.
The issue was that it only applied to objects he had personally placed inside.
If someone was born within his Cosmos, he couldn’t take them out.
The same was true for the Nine Heavens.
He couldn’t pull anyone out at all.
“How does the skill work exactly?”
[Master, according to our calculations, once you meet the requirements to reach Level 5, a Stage 6 existence will emerge in either your Cosmos or Nine Heavens.]
[When one reaches a Stage 6, the Creator God—what you call Heavenbreaker—can draw them out from their own Cosmos.]
[That is the foundation of the Summoning skill.]
Neo rubbed the back of his neck.
“Stage 6, huh. But wouldn’t the people coming out of my Cosmos be weaker compared to the Stage 6 gods here? Since my Cosmos is weaker than Elemental Cosmos?”
[That would be the expected outcome, yes.]
[However, it will not happen in your case.]
“Why not?”
[Because your Path is much stronger than the Awakened Path or the Elemental Path. The difference is significant.]
[As such, a Stage 6 from your Cosmos will not be any weaker than a Stage 6 god of this universe.]
That was a good Neo.
The only way for his Cosmos to surpass the Elemental Cosmos was for Neo to outgrow the creator of his Cosmos—if there was one.
Now, knowing his people could be as strong as people from Elemental Cosmos despite his Cosmos being weaker was a surprise and welcoming news.
Neo tapped his fingers against his knee, thoughtful.
“This changes quite a few things.”
Outwardly, his expression stayed calm, but inside he was excited.
The possibilities of this skill were enormous.
The people living in his Nine Heavens were all Heavenbreakers.
To outsiders, that title carried a lofty meaning.
To Neo, it was easier to think of them as programmers.
A programming language represented a Path.
The programs created with it were skills and abilities.
Each Heavenbreaker needed to develop their own programming language (Path).
For it, they required knowledge, tools, and insight.
Neo had done it himself.
He had created his own programming language, his Path, and now he used it to build new programs (skills, and classes).
The Heavenbreakers in his Nine Heavens had the tools.
They had the potential.
They just didn’t have the knowledge yet.
In fact, none of them even realized they could create their own programming language (Path).
And Neo had no intention of telling them.
A Heavenbreaker was only special because they carved out a Path on their own.
If he guided them, then they wouldn’t truly grow.
That was same as squandering their potential.
’I wonder when one of them will manage to create a Path on their own.’
’Would I be able to copy that Path?’
’Would the Cosmos created by the new Heavenbreaker be inside by Cosmos?’
The possibilities seemed endless, but he pushed the thought aside before it could distract him further.
“Alright,” he said after a moment. “Use a fertility rate increase spell across the entire Cosmos and Nine Heavens.
“And, design a genetic backbone for a Cupid-type race. I’ll create them once you give me the base.”
[Master, the Nine Heavens are already under the maximum time acceleration possible.]
[If we apply a fertility-increase spell on such a scale, we will have to reduce the time acceleration.]
[Your existence cannot handle the burden of both maximum time acceleration and full-scale fertility increase manipulation at the same time.]
Neo frowned slightly.
“Didn’t I get stronger after creating the new physique? That should let me handle more burden.”
