Chapter 1234 Grace's Shocking Request!

Chapter 1234  Grace's Shocking Request!

At that instant, he could sense Anara, Dariya, and Malaia entering the manor and meeting the other women within the building. He knew that Anara had summoned Dariya and Malaia to assist her in caring for Grace and Sylvalis, as he had been observing them through the fragment of the Divine Medallion of Sovereign Accord. So, he wasn't surprised by their sudden appearance.

Orion refocused on Grace and explained, "To cut it short, your mom, Maeve, is going to ascend into godhood soon and will be like you if the new Mysteries determine that she's passed the necessary criteria and is worthy enough to do so."

"That's amazing! Hehehe… We have another goddess to play with, little sister Liora… Wait, why didn't I create such a scene when I ascended? Daddy, why was mine different?" Grace said, her tone excited before it shifted to suspicion, then filled with fear and worry.

"It's because you ascended before the emergence of the new Mysteries. But we'll have to wait for your next ascension to see. However, even if you don't create such a scene, remember that you and I possess a special condition that can't be replicated through such an event," Orion responded, rubbing his cheek against Grace's. He had considered the possibility of such an event but wasn't sure, as Grace had only gained the qualifications to ascend to divinity because of him. They would need to wait for his subsequent ascension or observe if the same thing occurred with any children born to his tree nymph partners to find an answer.

"Oh," Grace's eyes twinkled in realization, and she nodded in understanding. "Then ascend quickly so we can try it out," she said, her expression serious as she looked at Orion.

Orion responded with a firm nod. He also wanted to ascend quickly. Unfortunately, it didn't work that way.

"You all really know how to cause a ruckus," a familiar voice sounded behind them, causing everyone to snap their heads around, ready to attack. Upon seeing the figure covered in blinding light, they swiftly held back. The entity before them was the Will of the Divine Mysteries, who had just left earlier.

General Reynold frowned, narrowing his eyes at the Will of the Divine Mysteries, as he hadn't sensed his presence or entry through the barrier. It was as though he had appeared effortlessly, making him wary and wondering if he had miscalculated the Will's capabilities.

Oberon, Aurora, and the others were also cautious about the Will of the Divine Mysteries sudden appearance, keeping their senses on high alert for any sign of danger.

"I wasn't expecting your presence. If you had informed us beforehand, I would have prepared a suitable arrangement to host you," Orion said, gathering his courage as he addressed the Will of the Divine Mysteries.

Though he was also wary of the entity, he felt slightly encouraged by the presence of the stairs, embodying the new Mysteries, the Will of the new Mysteries, and all the divine beings in Paradise, except for Zera and the water nymph demigoddess. If they couldn't guarantee his safety, no one could.

The Will of the Divine Mysteries snorted and replied, "Did you give me notice when you decided to cause a ruckus again?"

"I have no way to contact you. If I did, I would've informed you before all this unfolded," Orion responded.

After a moment of thought, the Will of the Divine Mysteries flicked his hand forward, and a shard of light emerged from his body, heading toward Orion.

"Watch out," General Reynold warned, but before he could intercept, the Will of the Divine Mysteries said, "It's not an attack. Take a look."

The Divine Medallion of Sovereign Accord emerged on Orion's neck, and the shard of light darted around General Reynold, entering the medallion. The process elicited a "woah" from Grace, who was in Orion's arms, watching as the medallion radiated a soft hue before returning to normal.

"With a thought, you can contact me if such occurrences transpire in the future, and I will be there," the Will of the Divine Mysteries said.

"Thank you," Orion replied respectfully, his tone filled with gratitude.

General Reynold snorted in disdain, staying in his position. He focused his gaze on the Will of the Divine Mysteries, about to speak but was swiftly interrupted.

"Are you the one who gave my father that beautiful jewellery? Can I get one, too?" Grace asked, peeking her head from behind General Reynold and staring at the Will of the Divine Mysteries.

Orion was about to stop her, but it was already too late.

The Will of the Divine Mysteries looked at the girl curiously. He had already noticed her and the Will of the new Mysteries but had been too focused on the ascension about to take place, planning to address them later. However, since she was bold enough to speak, he entertained her.

"Do you want a divine mandate, too?" the Will of the Divine Mysteries asked.

Grace nodded furiously. "If you can, give me one for my siblings, my mommies, and one for my new best friend, Sylvalis. I heard she's a Will like you, so I think she'll be happy to get something from you, too," she said, pointing at Sylvalis, who was observing the Will of the Divine Mysteries with a cautious and curious gaze. She continued, "…then you'll be the best Will of the Divine Mysteries in the entire world," her tone earnest. Grace had heard her father and mother endlessly praise the Divine Mandate's capabilities, so she was very curious and interested in what other divine mandates the Will of the Divine Mysteries could make aside from the Divine Medallion of Sovereign Accord. Since it was far more powerful than any artefact and couldn't even be ranked as one, it would guarantee their safety and that of Paradise.

Orion and the others were stunned by her request but remained silent as the Will of the Divine Mysteries had yet to respond.

"Interesting..." the Will of the Divine Mysteries mused with a thoughtful hum before focusing on Grace. "If there were a ranking for the best Will of the Divine Mysteries in existence, I would certainly be at the top. I can give you a divine mandate as a gift for being the first of your kind- a new race- to attain divinity."

"I can also provide divine mandates to the rest of your household who have attained divinity as a form of reinvestment. Considering the overflowing profits I've gained from your father, it's a worthwhile gamble. However, I can't offer this to the rest of your family, as they are still mortals."

"Even if they have the potential to become anomalies in the future or will once they ascend to divinity, I don't make losing investments. As for the Will of the new Mysteries will depend on her choice since her origin might conflict with mine. But I've never attempted this, so it's worth satisfying my curiosity."

Orion blinked, surprised that Will of the Divine Mysteries had confirmed that Grace was a new race and had accepted her request. Although Orion didn't fully understand how his efforts in improving Paradise had provided the Will with overflowing profits, he knew that if he continued down this path, he would undoubtedly uncover the reasons. Nonetheless, he was inwardly excited, as these gifts meant that his household and Paradise would reap another fruitful harvest, bringing them to new heights.

General Reynold, Oberon, Aerialia, and the others were equally stunned. With their extensive experience with divinity and various encounters with the Divine Mysteries and its Will, they knew the immense value of a Divine Mandate. So, the idea that the Will of the Divine Mysteries would bestow such a gift so casually left them in disbelief. They began to wonder if the Will of the Divine Mysteries was merely joking with Grace, as she was still a young girl, and this was the most eccentric Will of the Divine Mysteries they had ever encountered. They wouldn't put it past him to say such things.

Meanwhile, Ilse's mouth hung agape as she stared in disbelief at the Will of the Divine Mysteries. Even if it were just a joke, to her, it was an expensive joke, far beyond anything she imagined the Will of the Divine Mysteries would entertain.

"Are you serious about your words?" General Reynold asked, narrowing his gaze at the Will.

Everyone's attention was piqued as they awaited the Will of the Divine Mysteries' response.

"Yes. As long as everyone in the household ascends to divinity, I will grant each of them a Divine Mandate," the Will of the Divine Mysteries responded.

Everyone present gulped, their minds racing.

"And why would you do such a thing?" General Reynold asked, frowning, his tone laced with hostility, unable to believe that 'it' would offer something so valuable without expecting something in return.

"Didn't I just mention my reasons? I'm reinvesting for a bigger return. I would have cashed in bigger if I had put more effort into the past. So now I want to put it to the test—the bigger the investment, the bigger the profits," the Will of the Divine Mysteries replied.
