“Decades? Hahaha, just give me a couple of months and I’ll give you more,” I laughed before adding, “for me favourite points kept raining down on me without even trying to get them.”

“Sigh, I really envy you, people at the apocalypse,” he gave me such a pale smile before adding, “compared to gods like myself, you are having a great time in the apocalypse.”

“As if fighting to survive is nicer than immortality,” I couldn’t accept his comment and retorted back.

“I started my path just at the same spot as you,” he snorted, “but I was unlucky enough to find my shrine getting destroyed when I gained my godhood. Anyway… Let’s not talk about such an old tale…”

He was still feeling pain, immense and deep pain about the fate of his race. In respect for him, I decided to put down the matter for now.

“Anyway, I have five ready to gain your support. Once I go back, extend your blessings to them. As for the favourite points, how can I give them to you?”

I knew my time of one hour was on the verge of ending. So I had to sum things up before going back.

“After getting my blessing, I’ll send you a request to transfer the points to me.”

“O… Just one second… Can’t you just give me a quest for that?” I suddenly had this flash of an amazing idea in my mind.

“A quest for what? I don’t understand…”

“Didn’t you say blessing is given by the system in return for quests? Why not give me a quest for favour points?”

“You mean…” he paused while his eyes shook with realisation.

“You send me a chained quest to bring favour points to you. As for the reward of each point, the system would assess the value of this deal and give me blessing points in return…”

My eyes were already shining with greed. If the system determined the blessing points per quest value, then I might gain tens of thousands of blessing points without the need to even break a sweat.

“That… Won’t that be considered cheating?”

Damn! Don’t tell me that old man was an honest god in his days! I looked at him closely before I recalled how he tricked me before. No he couldn’t be this just like Selvators.

“Don’t say useless things,” I said, “leave it for the system to decide.”

“Good call,” he even gave me a thumb’s up. Yes, this was the shameless old man I knew for years.

Your one hour is almost up

You can extend for another hour by paying one thousand blessings…

“Take me out,” I didn’t even wait to read the rest of the message before I asked to leave, “make sure to send me the requests once I…”

I didn’t have time to completely say what I wanted before the system took me away. That portal moved so fast and didn’t give me any time to complete my last words to Lok.

But I was sure he already got the general idea.

As I returned, I looked around and found the piles of stat points I left were gone. These new boys of mine were just as good as their lord.

But what I liked was that even after I left, they still maintained their sense of order. The five generals of mine really were doing a great job here.

“Trunk, Seif, and the other three…” I already forgot what the names of the Grounders’ generals were. Sigh, why did they have such weird and similar names to one another?

“It’s Fort, Lort, and Gort my lord,” Seif was the first to arrive as he said with a short laugh that he had to cut when I gave him a cold gaze.

Even if I missed their names, he shouldn’t be this funny.

“Sorry, lord,” he said and I simply waved my hand at him.

“We did what you ordered, lord,” Trunk was the last to come, weirdly enough. Despite his big body, he seemed to be the slowest compared with the three grounders. Their speed in traversing the ground was a surprise for me.

“Good, and I have more good news to all of you…” I paused while receiving the message of the system.

You got a blessing support from God Lok

Do you want to accept it?

“I do.”

You have two free blessing slots available

You accepted the blessing of god Lok

A separate interface for each god of yours is now created for easier control and access

“What is it, lord?” Seif asked while trying to not add any more useless or funny comments of his.

“It’s about your gods,” I said before adding, “you will receive requests to sponsor you. Just accept the requests without making any fuss about it.”

They looked at me without saying anything, yet after a few seconds I heard a shout of shock coming from one of the grounders.

“Wow! It’s just like what the lord said!”

“Really?” another one asked but soon everyone went into silence before shouting in delight. Even that giant Trunk jumped high in the air and caused a small earthquake in this region.

Anyway they deserved to celebrate this. And now it was the time for me to get the quest I waited for.

“Lok, what’s wrong? Why didn’t you send me the quest already?” but after waiting for ten minutes until all of my generals controlled themselves, I didn’t get any quest or notification from him.

What? Did the system refuse to let him issue such a quest or what?

Just check your quest menu

I hit my forehead when I heard his voice. Damn! I just overlooked this and thought he would issue me a direct quest.

I opened my profile, opened my sponsorship menu, before finding two icons to select from. One was Sith and the other was Lok.

Of course they didn’t have their names written over the two icons, but one had the symbol of a stick like the one Sith held and the other had a rough sketch of an angel.
