Novice Gift Pack!
Deus fell into deep thought after hearing about Helene's situation.
"My Lord, there's something I don't understand."
Old Ming had a face full of doubt. He was quite familiar with Deus's temperament after following him for a while. Everything the Young Lord did had some reason. Every situation was carefully crafted by him even if someone couldn't see it.
What he wanted to understand was why his Young Lord let that Hiro off after only suppressing him once?
It was normal for Old Ming to have that question.
After transmigrating and fusing with the memories of the Original, it wasn't hard for Deus to arrange his words to not give himself away.
"Regarding that," Deus's eyes were still indifferent, and he enunciated each word slowly, "that Hiro is blessed with great Fortune, so I might be able to get a fortuitous opportunity through him.
These words weren't incorrect. After all, Hiro had Fortune that had to be shaved off his body. What's more? The Heavens must have arranged quite a few fortuitous opportunities for these Favored Children. Wouldn't he be a disgrace if he didn't use these rat – 'cough' – radars to obtain all those opportunities?
Deus couldn't help but shake his head as he thought about this.
"So that's how it is!"
Old Ming nodded in surprise.
His Young Lord was hailed as a God-Child from the moment of his birth. He could see through what many of the older generation monsters couldn't, so Old Ming had no reason to doubt his words.
After all, his Young Lord looking to widen his horizons was a mere front for the people — the real reason he descended upon the Mortal World was to look for a Heavenly opportunity to ascend the throne.
"Go to the Prison and closely observe Hiro's every move, but no matter what happens, don't interfere."
Deus ordered after thinking about something.
He had somewhat figured out how he could shave off Fortune Value from the Favored Children of Heaven. Fighting them was one method, stealing their opportunities was another. Some matters, such as relationships, weren't under the direct protection of his Lord Father, the Heavens.
Like before, when he drove a wedge between the heroine, Helene, and Hiro.
"I will do as My Lord commands!"
Old Ming responded, and then his figure disappeared into the thin air.
Deus, on the other hand, considered obliterating Hiro's Fortune through the heroine, Helene.
That looked like a good method.
Back in the hall, he had easily destroyed Hiro's mental state through Helene. That made it clear to him that destroying the relationship between the Favored Son of Heaven and the Heroine of his story was a viable counter.
Furthermore, he could use some tricks on Helene, too, now that he knew of her weakness.
...
'Helene's 2000+ Fortune Value…it makes me salivate!
Deus's expression changed as he shook his head and thought about this matter. He was becoming more and more comfortable with his current identity.
In the next moment, he called out to the System and the Attribute Panel appeared in front of him.

"Novice Gift Pack?"
Deus's mind churned as he wondered how he forgot about this piece of information? How had he not noticed the existence of this Warehouse before?
// Would you like to receive the Novice Gift Pack?//
The System prompted?
Deus sneered in his heart. How was it possible for him to not receive it right away now that he knew about its existence?
"Receive!"
Deus's heart thumped.
**Shua!**
Soon, a dazzling box radiating with divine, golden light appeared in front of his eyes and slowly opened.
**Ding!**
//Congratulations to the Host for having great luck! You have obtained: Domain Traversing Talisman x1 | Five-Colored Mystic Vest x1 | One-Third Fragment of a Devil Seed x1..//
The System's prompt rang in his ears. Deus found that the Novice Gift Pack was no different from a Lottery Box, something that depended on luck. And although he had a Black Level Fortune, it didn't seem to affect the System.
All of the items seemed pretty good.
The [Domain Traversing Talisman] did what the name suggested. It let one break out of a Domain, or traverse from one Domain to another.
The [Five-Colored Mystic Vest] was a defensive artifact. As Deus read it's introduction, he realized that it was quite a powerful artifact that could withstand a full-powered blow from a Dao Emperor Realm powerhouse. He will be safe in Immortal realm with it.
These were the Cultivation Realms Deus was familiar with. As for Realms beyond the Dao Emperor Realm, those belonged to the worlds beyond Immortal Realm, and couldn't be described in simple terms. They held might that could even overturn Heaven and Earth.
Immediately, Deus put on the [Five-Colored Mystic Vest]. From the outside, it looked like a silverish inner shirt made of some strange material. With the hazy brilliance flowing around it, it looked like some garment for the Immortals. Apart from having an extraordinary appearance, there was nothing special about it.
After that, he checked the introduction of the [One-Third Fragment of the Devil Seed].
[A complete Devil Seed, when refined, can nourish a Devil Baby of its own inside one's body, with a self-sustaining life and death.]
"Creating a Devil inside your body? Now that's interesting.
This thing could be called a Godly treasure. Deus's eyes lit up as he thought about how it could be used for escape if he encountered a crisis in the future. A Life of Devil within one's body was a good one to receive damage for him.
After all, no one could guarantee they would never end up in a precarious situation without a way out.
It was a pity that he only received a third of it.
Deus sighed, "Forget it, I will think about it in the future. For now, I should increase my Cultivation instead of fretting over external assistance."
In the vast Heaven and Earth, personal strength was what truly mattered in the end. No one will hinder him from increasing his Cultivation!
"System, add points!
You could call it 'personal strength' if it was obtained through your hard-earned Choas Points, right?
