Chapter 952 - A Bright World
🕑 Added 2024-07-12 11:17:04 +0000 UTCIt was inevitable not all planets would survive this system event, especially not the planets that chose to face the event alone. On Olliandra’s planet, Jake learned that some World Leaders had truly become drunk with their measly power, believing themselves capable of things way outside their capabilities. She had just been lucky that she had only gotten too overconfident after also deciding to join the alliance.
The planet that had fallen was one that wasn’t part of the alliance, so it wasn’t even as if anyone could have saved it, even if they wanted it.
One of the first things Jake checked was the information provided by the system that gave a general overview of the planet. What he saw wasn’t very positive. According to the report, the number of enlightened people still alive was a bit less than a million. A meager number for an entire planet.
Next up, he checked something else: the possibility of teleporting there. However, as they had not been part of the alliance, they had never received or created the teleportation circle provided to those part of the alliance. They naturally also hadn’t claimed the Prima Vessel either, meaning there was no easy way to get there… at least not without the teleporter Arnold was working on.
Jake also considered for a moment what would happen on the gray-flag planet now. The Prima Guardian would have gained its second key and gone to claim the Planetary Pylon, and once that was done… Jake wasn’t entirely certain what would happen next.
If the Prima Guardian was like the two other ones he had seen, it would die by itself after some time due to the instability of its soul. When that happened, the planet would be left in the hands of the Primas. It was also a good question if they would remain Primas after the event ended. Perhaps they just wouldn’t be able to have offspring that was also considered Primas, meaning the variant would die with them, and in only a single generation, the planet would be dominated solely by beasts and monsters, many of which had Prima parents.
With the Prima Guardian claiming the Planetary Pylon, the Pylon would also be transformed back into simply being a Planetary Core. For the planet itself, this wouldn’t matter, all it did was reduce the value of the planet for any enlightened who wished to claim it. If this reversal to a normal Planetary Core happened after the Prima Guardian died, Jake wasn’t sure.
All he knew was that monsters couldn’t claim and control Planetary Pylons. At least not usually. It required a certain level of nobility title to do so, and since monsters couldn’t get nobility titles, they couldn’t claim it. Well, the King was an outlier, but he was also literally a Unique Lifeform, so him having unique circumstances shouldn’t come as a surprise.
This isn’t to say that claiming a Planetary Core wasn’t valuable to a monster. One could just look at the Ghostvine on the moon that had claimed the moon’s core that wasn’t even a real Planetary Core. The core was a wellspring of pretty much infinite energy and a top-tier natural treasure for any monster that claimed it and slowly absorbed its energies to grow. The only downside of a Planetary Core was that it was really hard to move around, and moving it would often end up ruining it.
While thinking, Jake even began to theorize part of the reason these Prima Guardians were even a thing was to make sure the Planetary Pylons were turned into Planetary Cores should the planet lose during the system event. However, even if the Pylon was turned into a core, that didn’t mean all enlightened died, right?
Let’s hope the remaining survivors can survive till the planet potentially opens up or until Arnold finds success… maybe the regular Primas aren’t as aggressive toward people after the Planetary Pylon has been claimed… for their sake, I hope that’s the case, Jake thought, though he knew it was very hopeful thinking.
This was the risk one faced if they chose to take on the Prima Guardian alone. It was scary to consider that the choices of one incompetent World Leader could doom an entire civilization in such a direct way, and Jake was happy he had chosen to divvy out any such responsibilities and decision-making. Oh, and that when he did make unilateral decisions, he was at least strong enough to back up his own choices.
Then again… perhaps that is also what the now-dead World Leader of the fallen planet had believed.
Shaking his head, Jake focused on helping out where he could actually do something. He began quickly checking out planets to apply to, and shortly after, he found one that seemed worth visiting. Having actually read the descriptions, this one mentioned the World Leader’s intentions to face the Prima Guardian as soon as they believed they had gathered a powerful enough force, and they were recruiting anyone willing to join them from the galaxy. No mentions of Ell’Hakan anywhere, either.
In fact, it mentioned that it was open for debate for people to be able to stay after the event, with even offers of high-ranking positions up for grabs. All of this seemed great, and the planet seemed interesting, but one thing caught his attention more than anything else… the population.
A hundred and seventy-two billion people.
That was more than twenty times the people Earth had before the integration, with that number lower now due to the many deaths. Sure, in the future, Jake didn’t doubt their population would balloon, especially with how big Earth was now, but for a planet to have this extreme population numbers now must have meant they had a huge population before the system.
He did question why they didn’t believe they had a big enough force to face the Prima Guardian with that many to choose from, but he would probably learn why shortly if they accepted him.
Applying to the planet, Jake waited for a few minutes with nothing happening. Sighing, he began to look for other places to go instead, but just then, a notification appeared, informing him his application had been accepted. He had been a bit worried his title as World Leader would prove a problem, but luckily that wasn’t the case.
In fact, maybe it even proved to be a boon.
Using the teleporter, Jake was whisked through space across the galaxy for the third time that day. Luckily, the teleportation was always instant, as his vision only turned black for less than a second before he found himself standing on top of a large teleportation circle. Through a Pulse he immediatly released upon arrival, he saw he was within a large dome of metal, not unlike the one Arnold had made. This dome was placed in the middle of nowhere, as only pure wasteland could be seen all around.
The teleporter itself was in a room in the center of the dome. Jake also quickly noticed that this wasn’t the only one. Several teleportation circles were placed on different floors on top of one another, seemingly all linked together somehow. As he arrived, he saw three people walking toward him. All of them were elves, wearing similar white and gray robes, with the woman in the middle having a slightly more elaborate robe with two men at her side wearing simpler ones. Yep, definitely a clear sign the woman was of higher rank than the two dudes.
”Greetings, hunter. Or should I say, World Leader,” the woman said with a smile as she approached. Her way of greeting made it clear she had fuck-all idea who Jake was besides the information he’d given.
”Greetings,” Jake responded with a nod. ”I believe my application made my purpose for coming clear?”
He had added a little extra in there besides what Miranda had given him.
”You wish to join the team that will take on the Prima Guardian. However, before that, allow me to invite you to the Council Estate, where you can receive the proper welcome of a World Leader,” the woman said. ”Do not worry. The team for the Prima Guardian is still being assembled as we are hoping more capable mercenaries will appear.”
”I assume this Council Estate houses the current leadership of this planet?” Jake asked clarifyingly.
”Certainly. Rather than rely on the judgment of a single World Leader, we have chosen to adopt a council to make more informed decisions in unison and to ensure the unity of every country,” the woman answered. ”I am sure the council will be more than happy to explain further once you arrive.”
”Not that dissimilar to my world, then. We also have a council of representatives,” Jake said, getting an approving look from the woman. Jake saw no reason not to at least make himself a bit more relatable by sharing minor details like that.
The three elves proceeded to escort Jake out of the large metal dome that Jake assumed was constructed for safety should a troublemaker arrive. Toward the outer edges of the dome, teleportation circles were set up to take people elsewhere on the planet, one of which they quickly went to and teleported to the capital city.
Now, Jake had wondered why so many planets had been medieval before… it turns out far from all of them were. Perhaps the metal dome should have been a clue, but the moment he appeared in the capital, he was overwhelmed by what he saw. He was also practically blinded.
Massive highrises filled the skyline, and every single building gave off an intense white light as if coming from a far too powerful LED. The entire city was bathed in this white light, making it look even more sterile than it already did, considering every single building was also white, amplifying the light. Everything was just white on white, with the most daring colors off-white or gray here and there. Oh, and they really loved reflective surfaces.
”Interesting architectural choices,” Jake commented as he was led unto a floating disc that would transport them to the Council Estate. Naturally, the disc was also glowing.
”Others have made similar comments,” the elven woman responded. ”We simply choose to embrace the light. There are many cultural, historical and religious reasons for this I will not bother you with, but our post-system logic is the increased appearance of young ones with the light affinity.”
”I see,” Jake nodded. That… kind of made sense. Exposing people a lot to one affinity could lead to it appearing in them, especially children. So, living in an environment filled with intense light energy would help if that was something they wanted. As for Jake, who decidedly did not have the light affinity, it was just annoying. Luckily, his high Perception allowed him to easily filter out the light enough to still see without any problems.
After flying through the high-tech planet for a while, they arrived at a massive building with several glowing spires on top of it. It was naturally the Council Estate, and Jake was led inside to meet with the council. On the way through the city, he saw millions of elves, all wearing similar clothes, and he really wanted to question what kind of society they were building but began to feel like there were a lot of… cultural issues that could pop up if he asked too many questions.
Better to just focus on the Prima Guardian. If Miranda then decided establishing positive relations with this planet was worth it afterward, so be it.
Inside the Council Estate building, Jake finally saw people who clearly weren’t from the planet. The building was large enough to have several wings, and within one of these wings, he saw about fifty people, all within different private rooms. Some of them were together in small groups, while others were alone, and all wore various equipment and were of multiple races. It was definitely the other mercenaries the planet had recruited so far to fight the Prima Guardian.
”How many mercenaries have you recruited so far?” Jake asked while they walked.
”A few hundred, with most of them out there fighting the Primas along with the armies,” the elf responded.
Jake nodded as they continued to walk in silence until they reached a large semi-circular meeting room. Within, Jake saw quite a few people already gathered, while he saw magical constructs occupying other spots. Clearly, they were waiting for his arrival, and the escorting elf motioned for Jake to enter, which he promptly did.
The room’s design was pretty interesting in that it didn’t use height to place the council members higher up than anyone visiting – a very popular design choice that even the system used during the World Congress.
Inside, Jake found himself standing before twenty-nine elves who were there in person and exactly fifty who were there only as projections, likely because they were busy elsewhere. Again, that made sense, seeing as they had a Prima invasion to deal with.
”Greetings, World Leader,” one of the elves who were there in person said. ”I am the representative of sector nineteen and shall serve as the speaker of the council for this meeting. It’s a pleasure to meet you.”
”I go by Thayne; it’s a pleasure to meet you all, too,” Jake nodded in greeting as he quickly did a scan of the room and noticed something a bit odd. While he couldn’t see the levels of the projected elves, he did see the ones of the elves present, and they were all surprisingly low. Not a single one of them was even above level 230.
Perhaps this was also why no one reacted when Jake introduced himself. He had very much expected at least one of them to recognize who he was, but nope.
”This may seem a bit direct, but may I ask why another World Leader has chosen to volunteer himself to help another planet fight their Prima Guardian? Much less why he has decided to do so on his lonesome?” the representative asked Jake.
Honestly, that was a pretty legit question, as it definitely was weird for a World Leader to act like Jake did. As for how he would answer, he saw no reason to lie.
”I have already led the forces of my planet to slay the Prima Guardian and all other Primas and now seek to hunt down more Prima Guardians as per the event to increase my own reward,” Jake answered, finally getting an emotional reaction from the people there as a lot of their facial expressions warped for a moment. Some with shock, others with disbelief, and quite a few with suspicion. Again, pretty fair. So was the next question.
”Truly?” the representative asked. ”To have completed the event already on your planet is truly impressive. If almost a little unbelievable.”
Jake just looked up at the council member, not answering, prompting them to continue.
”How are you affiliated with the one who calls himself the Celestial Child?” the speaker questioned, and from the tone, Jake instantly infered these people were definitely not allied with him.
”I’m not,” Jake simply answered. ”I would also like to turn that question back on you. How is this planet related to him?”
”He attempted to have us join his course, but by the guidance of the Great Bright One, we chose to reject such propositions,” the council member and speaker answered with a bit of disdain in their voice.
Jake wanted to ask about this Great Bright One right away but chose not to do so immediately. Instead, he nodded and asked some more general questions about how the efforts against the Primas were going and about the planet in general.
What he did do was use Identify a few more times. Usually, Jake didn’t look for Blessings, as the more he tried to see with Identify, the more likely its usage was to be detected. However, this time, he made an exception and…
[Elf – lvl 214 – Minor Blessing of the Great Bright One]
[Elf – lvl 219 – Minor Blessing of the Great Bright One]
[Elf – lvl 217 – Minor Blessing of the Great Bright One]
[Elf – lvl 215 – Minor Blessing of the Great Bright One]
Clearly, a god had a great hold on this planet. But, again, Jake chose to not pry too much. Who their Patron was shouldn’t matter too much if all he wanted to do was kill the Prima Guardian.
After Jake spoke with the council a bit longer, they seemed satisfied enough, as the speaker smiled.
”If you are truly as capable as you claim, would you be willing to prove it to us? Before we take the massive risk of activating the Prima Guardian, we will need some kind of assurance,” the elf asked.
Jake nodded, seeing no reason not to reject this. ”Very well.”
”Great,” the representative smiled. ”The attendant waiting outside can take you to one of our battlefields where you can prove your prowess. If the general approves, we can proceed to engage the Prima Guardian afterward.”
”Sounds good,” Jake said, relieved that the process of convincing them seemed quite simple.
”Irrelevant to your performance, we also see opportunities for diplomatic relations with your homeworld and would love to send a delegation once things are concluded here,” the speaker continued. Jake nodded once more, feeling pretty good about how things were going. He had even managed to do some good politicking.
”I’m certain we can figure something out,” Jake responded, as he asked something he could perhaps come to regret. ”Now, if I may… could you tell me a bit about the Great Bright One you mentioned?”
”Hm? This is surprising; I would have thought you had heard the divine one, seeing as you are not related to the heretic who calls himself the Celestial Child,” the speaker responded in a casual tone, still not hiding their disdain for Ell’Hakan. ”But allow me to enlighten you about the Great Bright One, the Creator of Light and Life and maker of the system itself.”
Oh… oh, great.
Yep, this pretty much confirmed it. Jake was dealing with a delusional cult.

thank you

Click on the Membership tab on this page, then under Quick Links there is a link that will take you to the Discord server.
Shaibene
Jakes going to get the god to expose themselves as a heretic and the holy mother will kill them in an instant, removing all the elves blessings
Luis
Can someone give me the link for the primal hunter discord server please. (I installed discord today and don't know how everything works yet)
Jeff McCulley
Jake doesn’t do religious shit. He does, however, tell people they’re being idiots when they choose to get right in his face about it. Which these folks may well be about to do. If not…he’s got a Guardian to hunt. And Miranda to warn about idiots.
Mat
No way Jake is going to do some religious shit. It’s Prima guardians Hunting season
Rhysal
He should definitely leave them alive. If he kills them Yip and his chosen will use that in their narrative where as right now they all hate Yip and his chosen.
Clint
Having the whole world specialize in the light affinity seems like a great opportunity for Jake. Lots of high rarity light-affinity herbs!!
Rezkin
I know the feeling and am in the same boat
Demonshadow639
Is it wrong that I hope the later happens and he ends up having to do a planetary ritual of sacrifice. And kills all of those on the planet that worship the great bright one? Who is actually an evil god probably. Well that or he is a god from before the system due to faith energy and now he is elevated and thinks he is the top. That will be fun maybe Jake can even kill the god and get a huge bonus before anyone else in his universe???
Mr. Truthly
Kills the random god xD
Jordan Rogers
No I’ve run out of chapters😱
Kevin
Interesting idea about the unique lifeform. While a god wouldn’t get good records from 1 planet, the potential benefits from the people making it to higher grades makes the investment worth it.
Naotsugu97
When it’s presented as a directive from a “god” and perpetuated by a religion. The Catholic Church in the dark ages is a good example. In modern times research papers from the UN highlight the importance of education in regards sustainable development. The more religious a country the less access to education. I was just making a light hearted observation about the aberrant population referenced in the chapter. But evidently Catholics and people from Utah took offense.
Stuart Thwaites
I might be miss reading this but, do You think that getting rid of contraceptives would make people ignorant and poor?
Mat
No way Villy will be interested unless Jake perform a planetary sacrificial ritual and Jake won’t done that
Jj
Tftc
Jj
It makes sense though, right? Unless they have ties to other planets or a are aligned with God's that let them know the situation how would they know? What information they get from any source might be skewed or an outright lie anyways.
Hunter Thornton
This is only gonna end in 2 ways. 1 Ol Jake turns the entire planet into heretics, which will further his profession or 2 they all try to kill him when they find out he’s Villu’s chosen, which will prolly upset him a bit cause there doesn’t seem to b very many high level folks there. Honestly I hope Zo flips a coin for this
Josh Hietpas
“Hey jake, you know what will be really funny and interesting? Watch this.”
Josh Hietpas
Lmaooooo
Josh Hietpas
They would lose their minds if they found out his profession lmao. Not only is he a heretic, hes also the chosen of a different god, so to them, like double heretic… heretic squared? Thats 4x heretic. Very heretical.
John Looney
His profession could use some levels lmao
DirePants
*sigh* 🤦🏾♂️ can I block people on this app? I really have no patience for dumb people who know everything.
Vega
Will he turn an entire civilisation away from their god? That’s gotta count for some good Heretic points
Moontunnels
Modern science is the worst
Moontunnels
I love this series
Taylor
Jake “Oh great here I go genociding again”
Kyle Hunt
Interesting thought, however, unless it is a subordinate god to Eversmile, no. Jake would have seen through a false blessing tag in his identify. Also, if I remember correctly, Jake can sense blessings without identify, and he is very familiar with Eversmile's aura.
Kyle Hunt
I could see the sisters having their "little sis" give a warning to some fledgling god on their behalf if they found it too troublesome. She's kinda a big deal in the eyes of the sisters as, to them, she holds a near equivalent rank.
Kyle Hunt
A stopping point is the "end" of something, this stopped at the "beginning" of something... The practice of which can absolutely be called a "cliff-hanger." Zogarth does this in nearly every chapter, rarely ending a chapter at an "ending," and usually ending a chapter at a "beginning." It is a tool that works well for building anticipation and the like at the end of a week, or occasionally in the middle of the week. Zogarth overuses the tool, however. This isn't a slight, just a critique.
SmokeJam
Late Night High Thought: Could this be one of Eversmiles experiments?
Kyle Hunt
Technically, if he added a bit of Jake juice, he could potentially shoot an arrow that perpetually circled a planet, stopping for nothing and penetrating anything in its path.
SmokeJam
Or he just adjusts his Primordial Shroud and lets them see his Blessing.
Kyle Hunt
Probably didn't seem worth it. These are mortal affairs, and he knows Villy is busy with divine affairs. He may ask later out of curiosity, to get a real answer... However, the answer will probably be "Who?"
Ansordia
Typical of a mushroom hater...
Kyle Hunt
You're assuming this Great Bright One even knows about EH and Yip. Remember the 4th Desert Queen from the Endless Empire that tried to label Jake a heretic? Perhaps the Great Bright One is similarly unaware, or perhaps he/she simply doesn't care, because let's face it, Yip probably doesn't care either.
Kyle Hunt
Why would going to Nevermore prevent them from believing in the precepts of this Great Bright One? The existence of non-believers does not invalidate belief, whether that belief is true or false.
Gwiddion
It could perhaps be a unique lifeform that is able to bless people before godhood. As it gets stronger through it's following. I doubt any hod would proclaim himself creator of the system just for a few measly record's. But a d/c grade unique lifeform would gain a zon from sth like this.
Trevor Mergen
Thanks
DDHG
There couldn't be. Outside of some interesting ripple affects. There should be no way for a god to directly influence a planet before the system. Concepts and records may spread like with Artemis and the Pantheon of life, but just like that. A entire planet following one god before the system? Nah. That has to be post tutorials fuckery, and some balls on that god to claim he made the system.
Jake Atwood
Honestly think it would get him close to 300 or at that level cause that’s a lot of very devoted people and the amount of records he would get from it would be a lot too
Tommy
If the Bright Ones name is Lightbulb I will lose my shit 😂 Thanks for the chapter!
DirePants
Great. Another cult. IRL or not. I hate cults. They do make interesting plot points tho.
Naotsugu97
Don’t kid yourself. Any religious directive to do away with birth control does not take personal choice into consideration. Rather, it’s a way of keeping the masses ignorant and poor.
Historia Jinn
I don't think it'll be a problem at all, all Miranda gotta do is not badmouth there god and it'll probably be alright, unless they learn of Jakes heretical status of course, then it'll be big problem for Jake I'd imagine
TyranT-Rex
All the other system events transported them somewhere else and blocked the connection. I assumed he could still talk to Villy since they weren't transported and Jake didn't mention feeling Villys live stream go off.
John Durrett
The difference between a Religion and a Cult is a matter of Numbers. Once a cult reaches a sufficient size to defend itself from external attacks and hold its turf - Its a Religion. Same principle applies to when a collection of people is recognized as a Nation...their big enough to defend their turf against powerful adversaries.
John Durrett
Haven't heard Jake talk to Villy for a while now.
John Durrett
Or maybe their really family oriented, getting married and have kids.
SmokeJam
Their worship song is "You are my Flashlight"
SmokeJam
TFTC. Sounds like a proper well maintained small-god-project, love to see the little guys putting in the work too. Maybe we don't have to kill them but The Lightbulb gets recruited by the Viper.
Forrest
I can forsee Villy turning off a light
Jeff McCulley
I think that you need to take a closer look at those definitions. The one you’re referring to isn’t referring to a group worshipping a god. This one is more appropriate: “a relatively small group of people having religious beliefs or practices regarded by others as strange or sinister.” “Relatively small” meaning a mere single planet. Or however far they’ve managed to spread the influence, still relatively small compared to the multiverse.
Jeff McCulley
Miranda doesn’t deal with gods. Her patrons, maybe—as opposed to Villy—but not Miranda.
Stuart Thwaites
If you look at the definition, all religiousgroups are cults Cult: a system of religious veneration and devotion directed towards a particular figure or object. But yeah, definitely some indoctrination went on at this planet. The god is also asking for serious trouble. They're not just making an enemy of 1 divine faction but ALL divine factions. Every other god recognizes that there are other gods and that no matter how powerful they are, the system is above them in the pecking order
Gallagher.563
This is way too small a problem for Villy. I am not even sure this is a problem at the level of someone in S grade. This is like a Miranda level problem someone (C or B grade). A grades and beyond should be dealing with whole galaxies or at least Star Clusters.
joel southard
Nice thank you for the chapter
Gallagher.563
The dynamic of these planets knowing nothing or very little about the bigger Multiverse is fascinating.
James Faulkner
Great lol
Abhishek
Your insight astounds me. Salute
Dan
Jake's either about to give them a huge lesson in multiversal history, or he's gonna keep his mouth shut, kill the guardian, and move on so he can just get the reward and leave the education to Miranda later. I'm betting on the latter
Jeff McCulley
I kinda feel like maybe they were a god here before the System? Either that, or they were the sole Tutorial sponsor.
Jeff McCulley
So…just how many Profession levels does Jake get for turning an entire planet into heretics? Seems like that would a way to catch his lagging Profession up to his Class.
TyranT-Rex
To be fair, if Yip is openly challenging primodials, he would consider every other God a minor one. The Bright one might not have anything against Yip, as his path is about creating a story of a Hero. And both the Bright one and Yip can exist in that narrative. EH's bloodline can actively work to change these elves subject of worship to him. Seems that he doesn't want the elves to interact with EH because of that. But i do think this is a smaller God that is trying to set up something similar to the holy mother.
Arieh Sochaczevski
Thanks for the chapter! I can see Jake getting by with just keeping his mouth shut for now. I suspect that delegation will prove to be a larger problem. Maybe even a Villy problem.
Ivo Wißen
But he can make a deal with the wyrmgod
Ivo Wißen
Can he ask villy? It is a system event is the communication with god's limited like every other system event?
Andromeda Adams
Yes, that would be a problem. I can already see it lol.
DDHG
You know what. I can respect the hussle of this god, find a planet, get a hold of them quickly and lay claim to them before other gods can muddy the water. Make yourself out to be the beacon of light that will improve their lifestyle and monopolize it. Technically not a cult as the god of real, is it scummy? Yes. Will it be funny when the Viper bitches slaps their god for trying to have Jake killed for being a heretic? Yes. New Jake elf harem potential? Yes.
hachetnif
Yeah I'm already having terrible ideas about what's going on on this planet like whoever does not serve the bright one are hunted down by the drone inquisitors and so on.
Thewalterwhite
Villy should use Jake to flex on him a bit
Thewalterwhite
When they already think EH is a heretic, what will they think about Jake??
Jeff McCulley
I think the “problem” will be whether Hake can keep his mouth shut over the next few minutes. Otherwise he may need to use that “first privilege” of his ring.
Jeff McCulley
I’m not sure whether Jake’s going to have to ask Villy…or if Villy’s gonna pop in if his own accord, after hearing that!
Kuniku778
Would you like to hear about your lord and savior, the great and benevolent Bright One!
Mat
It’s all good until they want Jake to acknowledge the Great Bright One as a superior being
Jeff McCulley
You consider that a cliffhanger? It’s simply a stopping point.
Andromeda Adams
No, he already had an affinity with darkness. Which is how he got Shadow volt to begin with. Also because he had got those bracers of Umbra before that.
Aerlevsedi
I wish it was late March so we could have an April fools chapter where the great bright one is the first sage. Would be hilarious.
Ian
Wow, that was a while ago...wasn't that due to his Shadow Step being of Umbra, thus pushing him more towards a darkness affinity at the time?
Abhishek
These cliffhangers are getting ridiculous!!
Cordell Patrick
Depends on the size and if he can feel the target but possibly later on when his sphere can encompass a world then yes he could probably shoot an arrow around it
Phasmatic7
Thankies for the chapie zogie
Jerrid Klassen
Yeah back in book 2 I think he even had a weakness to light affinity against the stag if I remember right
Justin saldana
😂😂😂 Jake would find a cult of elves
Michael Lambus
Could Jake shoot an arrow around the world?
William WIlson
No they are in c grade. C grade starts at level 200
Rad
I always found “the difference between a religion and a cult is how many people and how much money are in them” to be a funny and typically accurate way to think about it. This “Great Bright One” is likely comparatively a cult in relation to the actual big religions in the multiverse.
William WIlson
The Order of the Malefic Viper is generally considered a cult.
One Winged Angel
Please tell me the cult of the bright one is led by a radioactive ghoul trying to go to the moon....
ItWasIDIO!!
Cultist to his has to be a Cultist his patron is an "Evil" Snake God this should be ok as long as Jake doesn't try to argue
Conclave
The amount of bullshit like "Creator of the System" make that outcome pretty possible lol
Conclave
Mmh. Jake will have to play the honesty card at some point, at least after he deal with the Guardian as I don't see a way were hidding his identity as the Chosen of the Danger Noodle end up good. As long as this bunch ends up being "The ennemy of my ennemy is my friend" everything should be alright. Especially when the Friend shows dominance
Olof Karlsson
Thanks for the chapter!
Seen Death
Tyfc! Im curious how this god plans to uphold the potential lies hes told his followers, atleast saying they created the system should be easilly disproven, unless they did infact make A system that kind of works with the actual system?
Drew
How much you want to bet this god is like...barely over the threshold from S-grade and freaks out when finding out who Jake is.
Mantiqore
yay you've chosen to follow one delusion over the other
JJB4345_80_815
Yes, thank you for the chappy Zogarth!
Ahmad Kiam
To be fair every organization is a delusional cult compared to Jake.
BubblyGhost
Technically every religion is a cult, but there's a difference between the delusional ones lol
TyranT-Rex
Oh man, I sure do hope that Jake doesn't do something heretical and mess up The Great Bright Ones faith farm.
Govir Drauka
TBF to cults, isn’t Miranda’s god a cult too? I feel like someone we know is referred to as in a cult.
TyranT-Rex
He'll probably ask Villy next chapter.
BB8ALREADY
I think they just aren't in C grade yet no?
Dolduck
Delusional. The word you're looking for is delusional
James mMcClellan
I feel jake is gonna ask Villy about the bright one and it either a bound god for the planet or the god gonna die for disrespecting all God essentially for being in the system and said God being cockyer the yip of yore. ( jake ask Villy ->most elves start screaming and fainting due to death of god)

Okay, that was a great chapter! You can almost hear Jake sighing at the end as he realized it was a cult. Considering Jake definitely can’t use light affinity well if at all. Will this guardian be a problem? Thank you for the chapter!

The chosen of a snake cult complaining about a shiny cult.

Lol, you know this is probably one of the few times someone can run a scam like that. If the God is trying to, that is. Like to a new universe an average god can actually preach to be beyond their means. "I am the creator of the multiverse". Lol, I imagine one might even do it to stave off boredom. Edit: also I'm surprised he didn't just ask Villy or had the event limited divine communications?

Or their world just didn't produce any standout talents... If they had the same number of monsters and pylons and such as a world with 1% of their population, level growth could have been much slower with opportunities harder to find.

Ahh they are elves so maybe the Altmar Empire has a god called Great Bright One. Bright as in smart not light.

This god surely can’t be some minor one right? To openly stand in the way of Yip’s chosen is asking to have a visit… unless they are minor and feel sheltered enough by someone else powerful to do it… My first guess was someone connected to the Holy Church but does not quite make sense as they are supporting Elle right now.

The population number is probably bc contraceptives are banned by the “the bright one”!

There’s no way their god can prevent the wyrmgod from providing nevermore tokens so I am guessing they just don’t return and then taking the token became taboo

It's religious cult. I bet Jake does something heretical.
