Game World: I Can Share Talents

Chapter 166 - 164: You Got Your Way After All

"That kind of blessing?"

The Pure Holy Spirit’s lovely lips parted slightly as she said,

"That would be equivalent to re-blessing an entire bloodline and making you the progenitor of the Qinghui Bloodline. It’s an extremely taxing affair."

"That’s exactly what I want. Do you find that difficult?"

Westheid raised an eyebrow. ’Is this unworthy ancestor of mine just being stingy with the Holy Spirit Power she uses to maintain her garden?’

Given the Pure Holy Spirit’s heaven-defying nature, it was entirely possible. In that case, Westheid would have to be the one to lay down the law.

He couldn’t let their relationship sour, so he had to find a way to assert his dominance while also making the Pure Holy Spirit submit willingly.

’Should I give her one good pounding? Or two? Or maybe three?’

’A good pounding it is!’

However, the stunningly beautiful, white-haired girl simply narrowed her eyes, sized up Westheid, and nodded with delight.

"You’re much better looking than the first ancestor of the Qinghui Clan, so no problem!"

Holy Spirits typically chose to bless those with exceptional talent or unparalleled achievements, thereby establishing a Holy Spirit bloodline. The Imperial Family and the other [Branch of Prosperity] families were all formed this way.

The ancestor of the Qinghui Clan was the sole exception. Merely a shepherdess, she was chosen by the Pure Holy Spirit for a very simple reason: she was beautiful.

Beautiful in the purest sense of the word. At the time, the Pure Holy Spirit considered her the most beautiful mortal alive. They hit it off instantly and, without hesitation, became intimate.

As for the Westheid of today, he was the ultimate product of a thousand years of the Qinghui Clan’s genetic ascension. Combined with his [Flawless Face] and [Heart and Soul’s Gift] Talents, his Extraordinary Charm was unparalleled in the Mortal World. The only ones who could possibly compare to his Charm were the yet-to-be-deified [Emperor Qianlu] and special existences like the Pure Holy Spirit herself.

Bestowing the blessing of lineage anew was against the rules, in principle. But the Pure Holy Spirit felt that if it was for Westheid, then principles weren’t an issue.

"Tsk, what a shame."

Westheid sighed with regret. Since his ancestor was being so reasonable, he no longer had an excuse to display his "filial piety" with his fists.

And so, on the small island in the center of the shallow lake, Westheid knelt on one knee. The Pure Holy Spirit cupped his cheeks, closed her eyes, and brought her cherry-red lips to his forehead.

The Holy Spirit’s kiss traced a path from his forehead to the bridge of his nose, finally settling on his lips. Using this as a medium, she transferred her Holy Spirit Power into Westheid’s body.

The Magic Power throughout the entire Holy Land fell into disarray. The Pure Holy Spirit focused all her strength to bless Westheid, causing his body to emit a soft glow that cleansed his bloodline and elevated his spirit.

’It’s not as... stimulating... as sharing a Tier T0 Talent,’ he thought.

But Westheid wasn’t after the power of this bloodline, which was a T1 at best. He was using this as a chance to advance to the [Hero] Tier.

[You are receiving a blessing from the Pure Holy Spirit. Your Purity Forest Bloodline is undergoing sublimation.]

[Your valor, combat achievements, and the recognition you have earned have accumulated sufficient merit.]

[This shall serve as the foundation, providing the qualifications for advancement.]

[Your Tier has been raised from "Exemplar" to "Hero."]

[You have awakened a new Talent from your bloodline—"Bright Radiance Manifested in the World."]

A comfortable warmth spread through his body. Westheid once again felt the ecstasy of advancing a Tier. It was a leap, an elevation stemming from the very instinct of life itself—a unique miracle that no ordinary sensation could ever replicate.

HSSS—

Westheid couldn’t help but let out a cry of pleasure, his body trembling slightly as he savored the changes from his advancement.

A moment later, the Pure Holy Spirit pulled away, her face pale. She stuck the tip of her tongue out.

"Hah, haah... I’m so tired."

A blessing of the highest level was not something easily accomplished, even for a being of a Holy Spirit’s standing. The last time she had performed such a blessing was... well, the last time.

The white-haired girl immediately whimpered like a little animal and flopped onto the ground.

In stark contrast to the Pure Holy Spirit, Westheid, Duke Qinghui, stood up, looking as if he wasn’t quite finished, and licked the corner of his lips.

CRACK—CREAK—

He stretched languidly, and a series of satisfying pops echoed from his bones.

"Congratulations, Brother!"

Yolanda clapped her hands in delight from the side.

"To advance to the [Hero] Tier so quickly... you’d be hard-pressed to find more than a few examples in the entire history of the Mortal World!"

Among the Extraordinary Tiers, the [Hero] Tier was an absolute watershed. Before this point, Transcendents could only be considered Middle-Low Tier and didn’t yet deserve the title of "Powerhouse."

But upon advancing to [Hero], one became a figure whose name was worthy of being recorded in the annals of history.

They could be high-ranking members of a holy order, generals in the army, or deans of academies. In more remote territories, they might even be the local head of state.

The power creep in *Poem of Destiny* was still manageable. Even in the future era when the Celestial Gods no longer appeared and mortals began to madly pursue forbidden powers, the number of those at the Legendary Celestial Rank never became so commonplace that they were walking down every street. The rank still held its value.

Conversely, once one entered the ranks of High-tier Extraordinary beings, further advancement became extremely difficult. At the very least, achieving the Legendary Celestial Rank would not be so easy. It was foreseeable that Westheid would need to consolidate his power at the [Hero] Tier for a long time.

"It’s nothing special."

’I’ve shared so many Tier T0 and T1 Talents, advancing to the [Hero] Tier is a cakewalk. Not to mention I have the advantage of foresight. If I couldn’t advance quickly with all this, I might as well go find a block of tofu to smash my head on and die.’

But more than his advancement to the [Hero] Tier, Westheid was interested in his newly awakened Talent.

[Bright Radiance Manifested in the World]

[Gain authority equivalent to a Holy Spirit. All lands you conquer and rule can be incorporated into the Purity Forest. Gain the power to weave a legacy; all those with whom your bloodline has merged shall be linked.]

[The purest Holy Spirit Power has cleansed thy body. May you be ever-victorious and undefeated. May you be eternally pure and immortal. May your glory last for ten thousand ages.]

[Spread the Light of Qinghui! One day, Qinghui shall outshine the blazing sun!]

This Talent... it wasn’t any of the clan Talents Westheid knew of. It was completely unique.

’So this is a true bloodline awakening.’

Westheid clicked his tongue in pleasant surprise. "It’s even a Weaving Technique Talent... Tsk, tsk. Don’t tell me this means I can create my own Tier T0 Talent?"

The [Bright Radiance Manifested in the World] Talent was an extremely rare "Weaving Technique" type, which was a prerequisite for Ascension.

In terms of raw power, it offered no immediate enhancements and added nothing to his combat strength. However, it provided an unimaginable boost for his journey up the Ascension Ladder.

The ability to expand the borders of the "Land of Clear Radiance" was already absurd. The Qinghui Territory, whose domain had been fixed for a thousand years, could finally grow. If this power could be further strengthened, it might even be the prototype for a "Celestial God Law."

The other power was also a game-changer. "All those with whom your bloodline has merged shall be linked..." Westheid realized he could potentially take a shortcut to create an Extraordinary legacy all his own.

This was just like the "Knight Path" established by the Yonglan Riding God and the "Holy Tree System" established by the Radiant Holy Tree. Both were examples of fulfilling one of the three requirements for godhood: "creating a groundbreaking new legacy."

The first thing that came to his mind was how, in Yolanda’s original destiny, she became the [Glowing Blade] by "shouldering the burden of her family."

Although the idea was a bit heaven-defying, he had to admit that it had indeed blazed a new trail for the Qinghui bloodline. It was worth a try.

"Heh. I tried to prevent this day and night, but in the end, you still got your way."

Westheid laughed and shot a helpless look at Yolanda.

"Hm?"

The platinum-blonde girl tilted her head, confused about what her brother was saying.

"What I mean is, Yolanda, I want to increase the population of the Qinghui Bloodline, and I’ll need your cooperation."
