After gaining some experience from Morax, Vorthis was now ready to try flying using his divine power.
However, since it was his first attempt, his movements were a little awkward.
Morax, on the other hand, stood by, intrigued, watching him.
"An interesting God +1."
Vorthis could feel his divine power located at the heart of his being, embodied in a six-sided transparent light blue crystal he had bought online from Amazon.
Vorthis called it the Manifestation Crystal.
He drew divine power from the Manifestation Crystal and, following the guidance of the experience Morax had given him, began to channel the power.
"I... I think I can fly now."
Vorthis looked down in surprise. His feet were no longer touching the ground.
But this was still only the most basic form of flight.
A more advanced version of flying would involve transforming into a streak of golden light, disappearing in an instant, just like Morax.
It was somewhat akin to pulling a golden card from a gacha.
"Hahaha!"
"Well, keep it up."
Morax casually offered a few words of encouragement.
This newly born God was quite amusing. It had been a long time since he had encountered such an entertaining one.
Morax was unclear about the precise use of the Manifestation Authority.
But as a God, lacking many common experiences, it amused him.
Perhaps there had been some issue at the time of its birth that led to the loss of some basic knowledge?
Vorthis nodded and continued to experiment with his divine power.
Before nightfall, Vorthis had mastered the ability to transform into white light and fly at high speed.
Morax, who had been watching from the side, was waiting for this moment.
"Morax! I've learned it! Now I can go visit your territory with you!" Vorthis said, his tone excited as he looked at Morax.
Speaking of which, Morax's territory probably wasn't located in Liyue Harbor, was it?
Vorthis wasn't entirely sure.
But once they arrived at Morax's domain, he would surely find out.
Morax nodded slightly.
"Well, since that's the case, let's head out."
"You've just learned how to fly. I'll slow down a bit to help you keep up."
"Thank you!" Vorthis replied.
A streak of golden light and a streak of white light soared into the sky. Under Morax's guidance, they flew across an unknown distance.
Vorthis eventually arrived at a human settlement.
This should be Morax's territory.
The people here were followers and worshippers of Morax.
Gods may love their people, but the ways they express that love are not always the same.
"It's the God of Geo!"
"The God of Geo has returned!"
"Who is the young man beside the God of Geo? Is he a friend of the God of Geo?"
"Welcome back, Lord Geo!"
As Morax and Vorthis flew over the settlement, the people who saw them immediately paused what they were doing, gathering toward Morax with smiles, greeting him warmly.
It seemed that Morax was generally very kind to them, as Vorthis could see no fear or anxiety in their eyes.
Morax nodded to the crowd.
"Yes, I've returned from visiting the immortals."
"This is my friend, the God of Manifestation, Zennos."
Upon hearing Morax's introduction, the people, upon realizing that the young man was also a God and a friend of Morax, immediately bowed in respect.
"Lord Zennos!"
This made Zennos feel a bit awkward.
He could feel Morax's gaze, as if he were being mocked.
"Uh, there's no need for that. Since it's our first meeting, let me give you a gift," Vorthis said.
This was the first time Vorthis, a 16-year-old boy, had ever experienced such a scene.
He wasn't sure what to do, but since it was their first meeting, it wouldn't be inappropriate to give a small gift, right?
Vorthis had already decided in his mind what kind of gift he would give.
Upon hearing that Lord Vorthis was going to present a gift, the people felt both nervous and excited, eagerly anticipating a gift from a God.
It was sure to be something special!
In this era, food was scarce.
Morax emphasized self-sufficiency for his people. While he protected them from other Gods or monster threats, he didn't provide food.
If the people wanted food, they had to hunt, gather, or farm.
Vorthis looked at the crowd and then activated his Manifestation Authority.
Although he had previously drained some of his power, he had regained a fair amount. As long as he didn't overexert himself, there wouldn't be any problems.
Earlier, wanting to rely on Morax's power had been an unrealistic idea.
Vorthis still didn't know the true extent of the power his current body possessed...
Suddenly, in front of the crowd, a long white light appeared, as if something was being shaped.
Moments later, the white light solidified and took the form of a long baguette.
Yes, a baguette that was over a meter long. It could be used as a weapon or even eaten.
To the people of this era, such a baguette was a rare delicacy.
"This is called bread, a type of food. Feel free to enjoy it," Vorthis said.
It was hard, long, and... it was called bread? And you could eat it?!
Naturally, the people had no reason to doubt Vorthis's words.
They received the gift eagerly and immediately began expressing their thanks.
"Thank you, Lord Zennos!"
Vorthis awkwardly smiled, nodded, and looked at Morax.
"I also thank you on behalf of my people."
"That over there is my residence. Let's go talk there."
Morax glanced at Vorthis and spoke.
Vorthis nodded, agreeing to the suggestion.
It seemed that Morax now understood the concept of Manifestation Authority from what Vorthis had just demonstrated.
Could it be that he could create things?
What a powerful ability.
Vorthis could also feel that this body he was in was likely something he had manifested using his own authority.
He could sense that the strength of this body was considerable.
Morax seemed to understand why Vorthis's origin had been damaged.
