Chapter 92: Chapter 92: A Child with a Mother is a Treasure

Moreover, as the cost of gaining strength, one needs to serve the force that opens the channel between the two realms for many years.

It can be said that for ordinary people to grow to their limit and ignite the Divine Fire to become a God is quite difficult.

Of course, this refers to purely ordinary people; if someone has connections or is valued and supported by a powerful figure, the difficulty level would drop significantly.

For regular Divine Territory Players, choosing a college in the high school exam is akin to choosing a faction. Once chosen and accepted, it’s like joining a massive Divine System and having a powerful backer, so one must be cautious in their choice.

However, this is a consideration only for senior-year students nearing their college entrance exams. For a sophomore like Lin Xiao, there’s no need to rush; he can think about it next term.

Just as he was watching the live broadcast of the college’s founding with great interest, he suddenly heard an ethereal and crisp singing voice. He immediately turned around and saw a mist of light converging in the center of the room to form a portal, from which a slim figure stepped out. A Demigod no longer needed a Divine Realm Login Device and could directly enter the Divine Realm.

In less than two seconds, a pretty young girl enveloped in the light of stars, dressed in a light blue dress, walked out. It was the incarnation of his mother. Seeing the joy on Lin Xiao’s face, she appeared before him in a flash, tiptoed to touch his head, and said with a smile:

“Son, you’re back. Let mom take a look if you’ve lost any weight recently.”

“Uh, it’s okay; I haven’t lost weight.”

He responded with a smile, allowing his mother to affectionately touch his head and face. This feeling, it was very comfortable.

Mothers in the world are all the same, whether ordinary people, Demigods, or even True Gods; they all love and cherish their children from the bottom of their hearts.

Lin Xiao felt very fortunate to have such a wonderful mother in this life, giving him the feeling of being pampered.

Yes, it’s the infamous indulgence that often leads to a spoiled child; to be honest, if it weren’t for him being a reborn person, such pampering would likely have spoiled anyone else into becoming a good-for-nothing heir.

Before, seeing such spoiled side characters in movies and novels would make one grind their teeth in vexation, but when one personally relishes this affection, it’s truly delightful!

“Son, come, mom has prepared something nice for you.”

Lin Xiao grabbed an unknown bright red fruit off the table, took a bite, and looked up to see his mother holding out a card that emitted a dazzling orange light. His first thought was that it was another legend-level card.

Jin Yunzhu was pleased with her son’s astonished expression, pushed the card into his hand, and said:

“Mom heard you did really well on your final exams this time, this is your reward.”

Hehe, thanks, mom!”

He took the card without any reservations and was rather surprised upon seeing it.

Indeed, it was a legend-quality card, but not the five-star card he expected; it was a three-star card, a legend-quality three-star card.

No matter if it’s one-star or five-star, the quality is the same, ranging from low to high: ordinary, Green Rarity, Blue Rarity, Purple Epic, Orange Legend, and Gold Myth. However, lower-tier cards are not commonly found in high qualities.

For example, a one-star card is usually a small clump of trees, a dozen soldiers, a hundred or so fish, etc., with limited quantity and typically low quality. In any case, Lin Xiao had never heard of a one-star card reaching Purple Epic quality, not even Blue Rarity.

Two-star and three-star cards are generally the same, but high-quality cards are more common at four stars and above, with the most being found at five stars.

A three-star Orange Legend quality card; honestly, this was Lin Xiao’s first time seeing one. He was not only surprised, but the contents sealed within the card were also beyond his expectations.

Three-star Resource Card – Flower Fairy (Legend): Summon ten Flower Fairies.

The card depicted a delicate and beautiful miniature woman with transparent wings on her back, holding a small basket and flying among the flowers with a cute and exquisite face.

Lin Xiao knew about Flower Fairies; they were a kind of elf, not the typical kind, but more like the mischievous sprites that loved to play pranks on people. Quite small, usually the size of a human palm, they had little combat power and liked to feed on dew, nectar, or small insects. Generally, beauty-loving goddesses kept them for their charm.

As far as Lin Xiao knew, other than tending to flowers, to make them bloom more vibrantly, Flower Fairies seemed to have no other use.

For Lin Xiao’s current state in the Divine Realm…

They seemed rather pointless, right?

He looked up in confusion, and Jin Yunzhu said to her son:

“You think they’re only good for looking after flowers and being pleasant to look at?”

He nodded honestly.

His mother chuckled and shook her head:

“Normally, that would be the case, but what I’ve given you is specially cultivated by me. Besides taking care of flowers, they can also tend to other plants, whether economic fruit trees or fields. With their care, the maturation speed of the fields will increase by ten percent, and the yield by another ten percent.”

Uh! How much area can these ten take care of?”

“Don’t underestimate them. One can take care of ten acres; ten can take care of a hundred acres. That should be enough for the size of your Divine Region Land now.”

Lin Xiao:…

It was indeed more than enough; even for an expanded Divine Region Land, that would suffice. An acre is the equivalent of an area 30 meters long and 20 meters wide, so a hundred acres would be 300 meters by more than 200 meters…

Well okay, his Divine Region Land was indeed much larger than that, already spanning thousands of acres.

Even if the size of the Divine Realm expands in the future, this Flower Fairy can also be increased.

“Okay, thanks, Mom!”

He promptly put it away.

Unfortunately, he couldn’t use it now. Speaking of which, he currently had several items he couldn’t use—the Bloody gladiator arena, the Flower Fairy Card, and two Five Star Epic cards, along with two rare Five Star cards—he still needed at least four slots.

The mother and son chatted for a while, and his mother, delighted, went to the kitchen to cook. A Demigod who could call the wind and summon the rain in the Foreign Dimension was personally making him food—that feeling…

A child with a mother is truly treasured!

In the following days, he lived a life of a rice weevil, with food put right into his mouth, and after meals, he would accompany his mother around Lin Family Fortress, occasionally joining her for a jaunt or play around nearby scenic spots.

Until five days later, Jin Yunzhu returned home spirited, wearing a large sunhat and oversized sunglasses, with Lin Xiao trailing behind carrying an enormous pile of shopping bags that nearly obscured him, exhausted to the limit.

Indeed, the love of shopping is a woman’s nature, whether she’s a regular woman or a Demigod.

Originally, Mom was reluctant to leave, not wanting to leave the rare opportunity of shopping with her son, but there was no helping it—Dad had returned from the Different Domain, and in two more days, Grandpa was going to celebrate his three hundred and thirtieth birthday.

Upon entering, he set the shopping bags aside and saw his mother sitting on the couch, chatting intimately with a handsome middle-aged man who bore a striking resemblance to Lin Xiao. Lin Xiao took the magically floating water handed to him by a hand-like mist and thanked it, then sat down in front of his father and said:

“Dad!”

Lin Haolin looked up at the young man in front of him, who very much resembled himself, and the sternness he usually wore on his face eased as he showed a smile, saying:

“1 hear you did well on your final exams this time. Do you have a shot at getting into the elite class?”

Lin Xiao nodded:

ii

If there’s no major surprise, 1 can get in.”

“Good. Once your grandfather’s birthday celebration is over, you’ll join me on a trip to the Outland during the holidays.”

“Thanks, Dad!”

Clearly, Dad was planning to give him some good stuff; going directly to the Outland meant they could circumvent the rules.

That’s the difference between ordinary people and those students with connections. Students of civilian origin don’t get such perks.

Of course, one shouldn’t expect to use this loophole to suddenly skyrocket to great power.

In theory, if they’re willing to pay the price, big clans could use this loophole to push their descendants to become Demigods instantly, but in reality, doing so would mean that Demigod would be their limit in life.

Dozens of thousands of years of history in the Divine Region have proven that the growth of new Divine Territory Players must follow step-by-step rules; progress should be made smoothly and allow for minor surges, but there can be no undue haste in power jumps.

It’s not just about the stability of the Divine Realm; primarily it’s because a rapid rise in power weakens the foundation as if skipping a segment on the path of growth. Correspondingly, these skipped experiences can leave gaps and flaws.

The consequence is that during the consolidation of Godhood and the Ignition of the Divine Fire, a Deity’s consciousness will come into contact with the Gaia Will and world rules of the Main World. At this step, the individual will face a test from the Gaia Will and the world rules. If one’s foundation is shaky and flawed, you can imagine the chances of success.

Godhood consolidation might be forcibly achieved through other means, but there is no shortcut for the Ignition of the Divine Fire. With an unstable base or gaps, it’s impossible to successfully ignite the Divine Fire.

This can be compared to a formidable cultivator from Eastern fantasy facing inner demons during ascension—if there are gaps in one’s soul, it’s certain they cannot overcome the tribulation.

Lin Xiao’s current condition has already reached its short-term growth limit; he cannot integrate more cards, but he can still obtain some non-material benefits, such as experience, which is even more precious than mere materials.

Then his mother went to cook, and Lin Xiao sat opposite his father, chatting casually.

It was mostly his father asking about some aspects of his life at college, as well as growth issues, or sharing some of his father’s past experiences and lessons.

Lin Xiao didn’t disclose his current condition to them; he wanted to surprise everyone at Grandpa’s birthday banquet.

Cough, truth be told, he just wanted to show off to a few of his cousins at the family gathering, because they always liked to boast in front of him.

To succeed in one’s hometown and not show off would be like taking a journey in brocade at night—what fun would that be?

Streets lined with colorful lanterns and neon lights extended to the end of the thoroughfare. The shops along the streets were all decorated with festive red ribbons today, marking the three hundred and thirtieth birthday of Lin Family Fortress’s fourth branch head, Lin Chenglei.

In the streets and alleys, many adults walked with their children, their conversations mostly about the birthday banquet.

As the fourth branch head’s major birthday, all businesses from the branch closed for three days, and all employees received a generous red envelope, giving everyone reason to be happy.

Lin Xiao climbed out of his warm bed to find he was alone in the house; his parents had gone early to Grandpa’s place to prepare for the birthday banquet.

Opening the window, the warm morning sunlight streamed through and felt exceptionally comforting on his skin. Looking down from the villa’s window, he could see the flow of people just outside the high walls, and occasionally luxury cars flying towards Grandpa’s residence on the other side.

All those were relatives, friends, or corporate heads related to their branch in one way or another.
