Library.

After a moment, Ilith saw Xian return with a book in his right hand.

"Miss Ilith, could I borrow your hammock for a bit?" he asked.

Just kidding, he didn't want to read standing up; that would really bring him back to his high school farewell days.

"...It's my pleasure."

Although Ilith wasn't too willing in her heart, she still agreed with great respect on the surface.

Lying on the comfortable hammock woven from vines and soft silk, Xian stretched lazily with some contentment, then rested his head on the velvet pillow, engrossed in flipping through the book in his hand.

Occupied of her bed, Ilith could only stand aside feeling aggrieved. She wanted to return to her bedroom to continue sleeping, but felt that leaving without permission would be disrespectful to His Highness Mingyu, so she could only stand by the hammock like a servant, waiting for Xian's instructions.

"Creation Myth..." She glanced at the book in Xian's hand, a hint of surprise flashing in her flawless ruby-like eyes.

Isn't this a children's book that all nobles read in their childhood? Could it be that His Highness Mingyu wants to reminisce about his childhood... Ilith speculated in her heart.

Xian didn't notice the other party's subtle gaze; his entire mind was already immersed in the book in his hand.

In the endless void, a towering and supreme existence suddenly chose to stop.

Whether it was loneliness or interest, no one knew the reason, but this great existence began His self-sacrifice.

His skin transformed into rainbow-like, brilliant crystal walls, blocking the torrent of the endless void and countless prying eyes.

His left eye transformed into the sun, radiating infinite light and heat, and gave birth to the God of the Sun and Justice.

His right eye transformed into the bright moon, blooming with clear brilliance, and gave birth to the God of Moonlight and Love.

His left hand transformed into the flowing wind of the world, and gave birth to the God of Storms and Hunting.

His right hand transformed into the lightning flashing in the clouds, and gave birth to the God of Thunder and Judgment.

His feet transformed into the vast earth, and gave birth to the God of Earth and Life.

His blood transformed into the boundless ocean, and gave birth to the God of the Deep Sea and Frozen Earth.

His dreams transformed into the origin of life, and gave birth to the God of Night and Sweet Dreams.

After the Creator sacrificed Himself and the gods were born, the world became complete. Thereafter, with the evolution of life, countless races such as humans, elves, dragons, and orcs appeared on the stage of history.

"Truly incredible!"

Closing the book, Xian's mood had become excited.

"Are these things real?" he asked Ilith, who was standing obediently beside him.

Hearing this, Ilith was greatly startled.

"Your Highness, questioning myths is grounds for Church judgment, please be careful with your words... Of course, Your Highness's status is noble, so you should be free from all restrictions."

Ilith was about to advise him, but glanced at the text above Xian's head, and her tone immediately changed.

Just kidding, the heir to a fourteen-billion-person kingdom, not to mention questioning myths, even cursing the Pope to his face probably wouldn't be a big deal.

After all, that number is truly terrifying; unless a god personally descends, this Highness's status is enough to be above anyone else.

"It seems the Church holds a rather lofty position in this fantasy world!" Xian mused, observing Ilith's reaction.

Myths and legends aside, what he should be looking at next is the level classification of professions and Status Blessings in this world.

"Ilith, could you fetch me some books about Blessings?"

"My pleasure, Your Highness," Ilith instinctively straightened up and replied.

This was the first time she had been treated like a servant, and this feeling... was quite peculiar.

A moment later, from the dozen or so books Ilith brought, Xian took Understanding Blessings.

He opened the book and once again immersed himself in reading.

Blessings, so-called, are the love of heaven for all intelligent beings.

They are divided into two types: Status Blessings and Profession Blessings, but their advancement levels are the same.

They are Mortal Rank, Transcendent Rank, Morning Star Stage, New Moon Stage, Waxing Moon Stage, Full Moon Stage, Sun Wheel Stage, and Eternal Sun Stage.

The corresponding colors are white, Emerald Green, purple, blue, ice blue, silver, gold, and red, respectively.

Status Blessings originate from birth, while Profession Blessings are a summary of one's past life.

Whether it is status or profession, fame and great achievements are the key to advancement.

A true powerhouse cannot be unknown.

"Fame and great achievements..." Xian's expression flickered when he saw this.

He realized that the advancement system in this world seemed to be different from what he had imagined.

It wasn't like the diligent cultivation advancement system in those Xianxia novels on Earth, but more like the advancement system in a certain dungeon anime.

He somewhat understood why people in this world valued status so much and gave rise to such a strict class system.

After all, how could ordinary people obtain fame and create great achievements? On the other hand, nobles could easily gain fame through various mutual praises in business.

Or rather, nobles like lords who controlled the lives of countless people in their territories, their very existence was a kind of fame.

This may also be why Noble Blessings can bring all kinds of benefits, while Commoner Blessings can only make people more resistant to hunger.

Xian pondered.

"Ilith, could you hand me that Encyclopedia of Blessings?"

A moment later, he took the book the girl handed him and continued to read.

Merchant, Liar Merchant, wealthy merchant... Knight Apprentice, Knight, Grand Knight... Magic Apprentice, Magician, Magician Hunter, Hunter, Hunting Master (the above only represents mainstream advancement, because a profession is a summary of one's past life, so many variant professions will be born, such as the very few honest and trustworthy merchants who will advance to Honest Merchant, and Knights who tame dragons will advance to Dragon Knight. In addition, professions can directly advance across ranks, such as Magic Apprentices advancing to Knights, but the difficulty is extremely high and not recommended. Transcendent individuals should be consistent from beginning to end)

Closing the book, Xian let out a long sigh of relief.

Only now did he finally feel that he had a clear understanding of this world.

In addition, he was a little fortunate because professions could be advanced across ranks, which meant that even if his basic profession was "College Student", he could still advance to Magician. Thinking of this, a trace of excitement flashed in Xian's eyes.

Having transmigrated to a fantasy world, who doesn't dream of being a mage?

Summoning storms and lightning with a wave of his hand, how cool would that be!

"Ilith, do you know anything about magic?"

Looking at the silver-haired girl beside him, whose face was slightly pale from standing for so long, Xian, comfortably leaning on the hammock, felt a little embarrassed. He suddenly realized that he was being a bit too indulgent.

Sigh, what a sin, the corruption of privilege came too quickly. "Your Highness, I am a magician," the girl said softly.

Next to the white "Noble" above her head, another line of emerald green text appeared—"Magician."

"Miss Ilith, could you teach me some magic?"

"It would be my honor, Your Highness," the girl said with a slight bow.

Finally finished editing. Good night, everyone. Tomorrow, or rather today, I will continue to update as usual. I suddenly realized that I can write eight thousand words. I'm really sorry for those two chapters yesterday. I will write comfortable words properly in the future~
