My Talent Panel Can Add Points

After a brief moment of shock and confusion, Tang Ruobing quickly regained her composure.

Maintaining rational thinking at all times is the first, and most important, lesson in becoming a Mage.

She crossed her hands in front of her, analyzing seriously, ”If nothing unexpected happened, your follower most likely encountered a Spiritualist, and then, based on their own needs, posted a task request. Coincidentally, that Spiritualist was quite capable and fulfilled her needs.”

”Short-tailed Cat?”

Ye Mingqiu directly gave the answer.

He sold [Beast King Summoning] to Lu, and since Lu didn’t need it, he would most likely sell it to a Spiritualist with a lower level but strong financial capability, and Short-tailed Cat happened to fit the bill.

If Short-tailed Cat recently used [Beast King Summoning], she might just happen to encounter the Light and Shadow Apostle in the Aredoya World and complete her task. After all, a task to acquire the World Origin isn’t something an ordinary Spiritualist can achieve.

”That’s right, I also guessed the same.”

Tang Ruobing smiled, then went to the lounge area, sat down casually on the sofa, and looked at Ye Mingqiu beside her, saying, ”But that’s just a guess, it’s not certain. Besides... I have an interesting idea.”

”You want to deceive her?”

”Can I?”

”Of course.”

Ye Mingqiu answered with a smile. The two exchanged glances, their smiles growing increasingly pronounced.

—— Team Channel ——

Broken Star: @everyone, does anyone know [Lord of Light and Shadow]? I haven’t heard of this name before.

Lu: Don’t know.

Short-tailed Cat: [Lord of Light and Shadow]?

Short-tailed Cat: I’ve never heard of this divine entity before either, but I recently happened to meet a follower of His, and that follower is quite formidable, at Dominator Level.

Broken Star: A Dominator Level follower? It seems this [Lord of Light and Shadow] isn’t simple.

Short-tailed Cat: Exactly!

Short-tailed Cat: That person is ridiculous!

Short-tailed Cat: Did you know? Even though she’s just a Level 3 Dominator, in a real fight, she doesn’t fear Level 4 Dominators and can even gain the upper hand in a short time. Her basic stats are much higher than normal Dominators!

Broken Star: Is that so? If the followers are so powerful, then this divine entity must also be quite formidable.

Broken Star: Haven’t you thought about connecting with them?

Short-tailed Cat: I’ve thought about it, but my family advised me to avoid too much contact with divine entities. Relationships in the divinity circle are complex, involving both power and cost, so I haven’t connected.

Broken Star: You could try a temporary job.

Short-tailed Cat: A temporary job? Do you mean a temporary transaction contract ritual?

Broken Star: Yes.

The relationship between a Spiritualist and a divine entity isn’t limited to establishing a connection through faith. Establishing a faith-based relationship is akin to signing a long-term contract, making the follower’s and the divine entity’s fortunes intertwined.

However, many Spiritualists don’t want to bind themselves to a divine entity but still want to gain sufficient benefits from them, so they developed the [Temporary Transaction Contract Ritual].

This ritual is a one-time event where the Spiritualist offers something to the divine entity, and the divine entity provides a return to the devotee through the given item.

Short-tailed Cat: I’m a bit afraid, after all, this divine entity is a stranger to me, and I can’t determine His temperament. What if He takes my offering and doesn’t reward me? Wouldn’t I be done for?

Broken Star: That possibility exists, but it’s generally because the offering isn’t valuable enough, so the divine entity doesn’t respond.

Broken Star: If the offering is valuable enough, you should easily get a response from the divine entity.

Short-tailed Cat: No, it’s too risky.

Divine Monarch: I have some understanding about the [Lord of Light and Shadow].

Short-tailed Cat: Hmm?

Broken Star: Let’s hear it.

Divine Monarch: This is a newly ascended divine entity, so not many people are aware of Him. But precisely because He is a new divine entity, the number of followers isn’t large. Making offerings or establishing faith at this time greatly increases the chances of receiving benefits.

Meanwhile, Short-tailed Cat in the Aredoya World suddenly realized why the [Lord of Light and Shadow] was so good to His followers and didn’t have much of a reputation; it turns out He is a new deity.

New deities differ from the old gods. Old gods have stable faith systems, many followers, and preferred devotees they favor more closely.

New deities, on the other hand, don’t have many followers yet, as they are in a growth phase. Entering a deity’s sights during this period, and offering faith or devotion, results in much greater benefits than doing so with an old god, providing higher value for effort.

Because they need follower development!

Short-tailed Cat: Forget it, I’m not interested in worshiping deities. Being an independent Spiritualist is perfectly fine, even if He offers me a lot, it won’t matter.

Divine Monarch: True.

Broken Star: Makes sense.

....

[Notice: Spiritualist-Short-tailed Cat has offered you 0.15 units of World Origin]

[Notice: The current World Origin is stored and maintained by the Spirit Realm. You can choose to use the World Origin at any time or convert the World Origin into Power of Faith through the [Lord of Light and Shadow] title]

”She offered me 0.15 units of World Origin, she’s really made an investment.” Ye Mingqiu said with a smile.

”Such duplicity.”

Tang Ruobing shrugged helplessly, then continued, ”The reason she’s willing to offer you the 0.15 units of World Origin is likely because the amount is too little to be useful, so offering it is probably the only thing to do, better to give it a try with you.”

”How much blessing should I grant as a result? Give me a suggestion.” Ye Mingqiu asked.

”Divinities favor their followers. When non-followers make a temporary ritual offering, the blessings they receive are half of what followers get. Also, the divine entity must gain some benefits from their blessings, let’s assume that’s one-third.”
