Talent Swallowing System

<Please give a name to your Grade 1 World and select a god for your world>

Before explaining more things about the worlds and their grades, the Ancient God asked Leo to pick a name and a god for the world.

"Name and God?"

Leo frowned as he suddenly remembered something that the system explained to him earlier.

Once a World gets a grade, it would have a World Emperor and a World Emperor.

<A World Emperor was one who governed and sets rules for the natives of that world. It could be said that he was the God for the natives of the World>

Seeing that Leo was frowning, the Ancient God thought Leo didn't even have basic information about the worlds

Actually, the Ancient God mistook Leo for being a native of some Grade 1 world who entered the Dragon World to conquer and thought he must have the basic knowledge.

'It looks like I have to explain to him about the world emperor and the world god.'

This was the thought in the Ancient God's head as he continued to explain the basics of the World Encyclopedia.

<Whereas a World God was the one who could sponsor things to the World Emperor in exchange for some mysterious energy produced by the worlds. Of course, if you can become his apostle, he would sponsor you unconditionally and help you participate in the special events hosted by Ancient Gods like me>

'Hm'

Leo remained calm and listened to everything that the Ancient God was telling him.

"Is it mandatory to select a God for my World? What happens if I don't select any God?"

Even though there were great benefits to becoming the apostle or selecting a God for his world, Leo didn't like both options.

Hence, he asked the Ancient God whether it was possible to not select a god for his world and at the same time, he asked about the dangers to his world of not having a god.

<It is not mandatory to select a God for your World>

Leo heaved a sigh of relief when he heard those words.

In the next second, the Ancient God said what happens if there were no World Gods for the Worlds which made Leo's eyes shine with excitement.

<If there is no world god for your world, any God could send his remnant spirit to your world without any penalties. Of course, their strength will be limited to a level your world can bear. For example, a Grade 1 World could only allow Legend Grade Beings to enter and not the Mythical Grade Beings>

"Really?"

When he heard those words, Leo felt as long as he was careful, he could have a great feast of the Remant spirits.

<Huh?>

On the other hand, the Ancient God was a little surprised to see Leo's response after hearing his explanation of what happens if a world doesn't have a world god.

<There are a few arrogant World Emperors in the past who decided not to select any gods for various reasons; however, not a single of them or their worlds survived the past 10 years>

Hence, he replied that the outcome of the world emperors who didn't select a God for their world.

Unlike the other Ancient Gods who hated the human race and wanted to get rid of it, this Ancient God didn't show hatred or love for a specific race.

For him, all races are equal and he should follow the rules and complete the duties he was given without showing bias towards specific races.

"Huh? 10 years?"

Leo was surprised that the world emperors were able to survive for 10 years without a God for their world.

'Does they also have a system? Or a talent that could help them swallow the remnant spirit?'

Leo silently thought in his head as he wondered how they were able to survive 10 years.

Even though it looked easy to swallow the remnant spirits of the Gods, it was extremely risky because according to the Ancient God, they would have the maximum strength that their world could bear which was impossible for a newly ascended World Emperor to kill.

So, it became a question in Leo's head.

<Yes, 10 years. As soon as the 10 years are completed after the world assessment, they would lose the World Protection blessed by the Ancient God. Without that world protection, the gods will easily send their remnant spirits without any penalties>

The Ancient God felt that Leo would change his decision and select a god for his world. So, he helped him understand a few more things.

<If you don't pick a god for your world, you will only get World Protection for 10 years whereas if you pick a god, then you will get World Protection for 25 years. What's more, the World Gods could spend some mysterious energy to even extend that duration>

The Ancient God was not showing any favouritism for Leo right now. Even if there were someone else, the Ancient God would have done the same thing because it was his duty to make the World Emperor select a World God.

'10 Years of Protection?'

Suddenly, Leo's earlier excitement disappeared when he heard about the World Protection of 10 years.

When Leo learned that the remnant spirits of the Gods would enter his world if there was no World God, he thought to swallow them because he would be upgrading two of his super special talents to the Legend Grade.

Moreover, his [Supreme Nether Domain] would automatically upgrade to the Legend Grade if he has at least single Legend Grade talent and if was lucky, he might either have a new super special talent or even a legend grade super special talent.

With such trump cards, Leo was confident in devouring all the remnant spirits of the Gods that entered his world; however, now, the Ancient God was saying that he would get a 10-year world protection by default.

'Is it working? It might be working judging by how serious he was thinking.'

The Ancient God looked at Leo as he silently muttered to himself; however, Leo's next words nearly made him fall to the ground.

"Can I not have any world protection for my world?"
