Chapter 1798 Blessing Templates

Blessing Bestowment allowed the Immortals to bless their followers, enabling them to grow their faith.

Usually, Immortals or pseudo-Immortals like Eren would be able to figure this thing out on their own as they kept amassing followers and growing their faith.

However, Eren's accumulation in terms of Origin Force Points was beyond ordinary. It exceeded the conventional incubation period required for a normal demi-god to get familiar with their divinity.

Fortunately, Eren had traveled to Labh Salem, where he could make use of the Mesh to counter his inexperience as a demi-god. He only needed to pay the Goddess Menaka in Origin Force generated through his followers and ill-fame.

Eren gladly accepted this deal considering its future aspects.

"Let's see what the descriptions say about these Blessing Templates," Eren thought to himself and decided to check out Option 1 presented on his Spectral Screen.

[ Elder Ichor Blessing: Expedited Regeneration

Employs the user's Life Force and mana in the right combination as per the constitution and situation to heal major injuries. The effect decreases with each subsequent use in a short time. Cannot heal internal injuries caused by poison or other harmful substances.

The user needs to pay 100 Menaka's Runes per use. ]

"Pretty simple and effective," Eren commented as he read through the description of the first Blessing Option he could bestow upon his followers.

"Expedited Regeneration has pulled me out of a pinch many times when I was a low-leveled Ranker. It's not fancy like Goddess Bastet's Blessings that offer nine lifelines to its users. However, it should still be very helpful.

Plus, it's not like I ask my followers to break a bank when using my Blessings. 100 Menaka's Runes is a small sum to pay," Eren concluded.

Eren realized that the Blessings came with a few conditions. He could ask his followers to do certain things for him in exchange for using his Blessing. He could set the conditions of the Blessing use himself.

For example, he could ask his followers to offer him some resources as tribute or tell them to perform a certain set of tasks to do his bidding and grow his faith further.

The followers would then be able to make use of the blessings consistently after fulfilling those conditions. Eren could also inflict some form of penalty onto the followers if they were unable to fulfill his demands. He could also revoke the Blessings he had imparted and bestow them to someone else who was more capable.

Of course, Eren wasn't a big shot like other Immortals. He could bless no more than 10 of his followers. The limit to grant blessings upon followers would increase if and when Eren invested more of his hard-earned Origin Force Points into the function. The amount of 100,000 Origin Force Points that had been deducted from his account only gave him access to the most basic features of the Blessing Bestowment function.

It was said that Eren could even descend to the place where his followers were in intangible forms if he had the Divine Sense and his followers had enough resources as tribute and sacrificed to avail this feature of the Blessing Bestowment.

The features that one could unlock with the Blessing Bestowment changed per the Immortal and their divinity. These features were made available to the followers after taking into account the experiences and expertise of the Immortals who had activated the function of the Mesh. As such, it was said that the Blessings offered by the Immortals were as numerous as there were stars in the night sky.

"100 Menaka's Runes for a single use of the Blessing is pretty decent considering how simple and straightforward the Blessing is," Eren thought to himself as he studied the Blessing Template. "I shouldn't try to change the condition mentioned in the template for now. I'd need better Blessings for demanding something significant from the followers," Eren thought to himself and closed the Template description of the first option.

Without wasting time, Eren selected the second template that was up for his review.

[ Elder Ichor Blessing: Sedated Perception

Slows down the perception of time for the user. Can be executed using the combination of mana and Spirit for enhanced effects. The Blessing can be made to activate automatically upon sensing life-threatening situations. The Blessing stays active until the user runs out of mana or Spiritual Force reserves, unless it gets manually deactivated.

Note that the continuous usage of the Blessings for prolonged periods can negatively impact the user's sense of perception of time. Thus, a cool-down period of a few hours is suggested after a considerable use of the Blessing.

The user needs to pay 100 Menaka's Runes per use. ]

"Aaah! The side effect of using the Sedated Perception might be a deal-breaker for some followers," Eren conjectured.

"However, the automatic activation of the Blessing can come in handy for many. Sedated Perception has helped me many times. Heck, it even allowed me to contest with stronger opponents while I was nothing more than a pebble. I'm sure it would also help a lot of Practitioners who don't have experience in executing time-element Skills."

Eren also observed that the Blessing Templates generated by the Mesh for him were effectively some of the most used spells he had relied on from the moment he rebooted his journey as a Ranker. They didn't particularly align with his core divinity.

For example, there was no Blessing Template that could allow him to bless his followers with Sin Series Marks. Likewise, he couldn't bestow his followers with water-element related Blessings either. It was as if the Mesh was telling him that he lacked both experiences and Origin Force Points for him to enable such options for him and his followers.

"No need to sulk about the lack of options right now," Eren sighed as he consoled himself.

"I'm just starting as a demi-god. It is already impressive that I could bestow my followers with Blessings. And it only took me 6 years to improve this much as a demi-god. I shouldn't think of these trivial things as of now.

Instead, I must concentrate on farming more Origin Force Points. The greater the risks I take, the more substantial my earnings will be."
