Seeing the two interfaces in front of him, Barbatos muttered in confusion, "Origin-rank? And why are there two talents awakened? Shouldn't there be only one?"
"Even on the god forum, none of the gods ever mentioned someone awakening two talents. But if anyone did, I doubt they would publicize it."
After transmigrating to the Divine God City, Barbatos had spent a week adapting and gathering as much information and knowledge as possible. He was now well aware of the common practices within the Divine God City.
When a god was born, they could awaken a divine talent. However, a normal awakening required a talent awakening crystal, which was quite expensive.
Only those with decent backgrounds could afford one, let alone newborn gods like Barbatos and the Terrans.
Fortunately, as compensation for transmigrating them without permission, the Will of the Endless Void allowed those gods brought to the Divine God City to awaken their divine talent within the first month of transmigration. This put them in a better position than other newborn gods who lacked any background.
On average, it would take at least ten years of accumulating divine energy for a newborn god to afford a talent awakening crystal, assuming they survived on the Eternal Continent.
"As far as I have read, the highest talent rank is red. I've never heard of Origin-rank, but from the novels I read before transmigrating, I might have awakened very powerful talents that aren't publicly disclosed."
Barbatos recalled the talent ranks he had read about on the god forum.
From weakest to strongest, a god could awaken a talent in the following order: white, green, blue, purple, gold, and red.
Awakening a green-rank talent signified that a god was above average. Those who awakened a blue-rank talent were considered geniuses.
Gods with a purple-rank talent were hailed as prodigies, while those with a gold-rank talent were recognized for having both exceptional ability and a strong background.
It was even said that gods who awakened a gold-rank talent had the potential to become Upper True Gods, provided they didn't meet an untimely demise.
In the Endless Void, gods were ranked according to their power and achievements on the divine path.
The major power levels, from weakest to strongest, were: Demigod, True God, Median True God, Upper True God, and Main God.
Below these, there were smaller realms. For example, the Demigod level was divided into nine small realms, from One-Turn to Nine-Turn.
Barbatos was only a One-Turn Demigod, placing him at the very bottom in the Endless Void.
"According to the god forum, red-rank was the highest talent, but that's likely because the Main Gods don't want to reveal information about higher talent ranks. It's probably confidential."
"But even then, red-rank talents could give a god a high chance to ascend to Main God rank as long as they don't die prematurely."
Barbatos pondered, "I wonder how powerful I could become with two Origin-rank talents, assuming I survive in the future?"
In the end, Barbatos knew he couldn't keep daydreaming. Even with two powerful divine talents, it would be useless if he died prematurely.
For now, he needed to focus on becoming stronger. His believers' strength was also important, so Barbatos didn't want to keep them waiting outside the ancestral hall.
Just as he was about to respond to his believers' first sacrifice, he heard a notification sound.
-Ding!
[Your believers have performed their first sacrifice.]
[Sacrificing a Second-Order Peak Stage Silver Bear corpse...]
When the believers saw the silver bear's corpse disappear from the front of the ancestral hall, they were ecstatic, especially the wolf tribe hierophant, Eldric.
This was their first sacrifice to their lord god, and they had done their best to procure the finest offering.
Normally, believers could only perform a sacrifice every year and a live sacrifice every five years. However, this was an exception since it was the first sacrifice to their lord god.
It was not only to show their loyalty and faith but also to demonstrate that the god's grace was not wasted upon them.
On the Eternal Continent, mortals could indeed become stronger on their own. However, if those mortals encountered even the weakest One-Turn Demigod, they would have no way of defeating a demigod.
The Wolf Tribe knew that even if they were defeated by stronger mortals, as long as those mortals didn't have the backing of a god, they would be safe.
With the backing of the God of Wind, Barbatos, they only had to worry about bringing sacrifices and dealing with mortals who were also backed by gods.
The gods bestowed power upon mortals, and mortals sacrificed themselves to serve the gods. It was a bond between the lord god and his believers.
To please their lord god, Eldric had sent the strongest warriors in their tribe to take down the silver bear, whose power was at the peak stage of Second-Order.
There were casualties and even deaths, but Eldric didn't mind. This was their first sacrifice to the God of Wind, and they would do everything to repay the lord's grace.
While Eldric and the wolf tribe awaited their lord god's response with anticipation, Barbatos also anticipated the rewards he would receive from using his Hundredfold Increase talent.
-Ding!
[Obtaining hundred times the reward: Fourth-Order Peak Stage Silver Bear corpse!]
After receiving that notification from the interface of his Origin-rank talent, Barbatos soon received feedback from his Origin-rank talent and discovered that a separate space was opened up.
His reward was stored in that separate space and he could take it out any time he wanted.
'As expected of an Origin-rank talent whose talent rank isn't even available in public. It even solved the flaw of using the hundred times increase talent and letting the increased treasure appear outside.'
'If that were to happen, I'd have to worry about being killed by others for coveting my treasures.'
After the hundred times increase of his believer's first sacrifice, Barbatos checked the information of the Fourth-Order Peak Stage Silver Bear corpse.
[Fourth-Order Peak Stage Silver Bear corpse: The corpse of the silver bear at Fourth-Order Peak Stage. Its blood and flesh can be used as cultivation resources to increase the power of 100 Second-Order Mortal to Third-Order.]
