Chapter 384: A Month Passes, Lili's Evolution, The Current State of the God Domain?
....
Lili's talent was far from bad.
Even though she had worked as a Supporter, she had never slacked off on training her base stats. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for her to act as a skilled thief.
In the original story, Bell Cranel managed to reach Level 2 in just a single month. Seito figured that if Kitahara Iori and the boys stepped in to help Lili push her training to the absolute limit, she should be able to break through her limits in a very short time!
As for her Great Feats... Seito planned to teach Lili his own Spatial Phase-Step skill to see if she could grasp the concept.
"I understand!" Lili nodded heavily. She knew Seito was doing all of this entirely for her own good.
"Mhm. Let's call it a night then," Seito said, heading back to his bedroom with Kirukiru Amou and Maple. It was already very late, so there was no point in lingering. Hestia and Lili chatted for a bit longer before turning in as well.
Time flew like an arrow, and in the blink of an eye, a month passed.
Currently, because of the presence of Kitahara Iori and the other Level 10 powerhouses, a massive wave of intense training had swept across Orario!
Now, Level 5 and Level 6 adventurers were merely considered mid-tier fighters! As for Level 1 and Level 2 adventurers, they had completely become the absolute bottom of the food chain. This shift in the city's standards forced the local deities to push their children to grow faster.
As expected—the greater the pressure, the faster the progress.
Meanwhile, on Seito's end. Over the past month, he had been trying to track down isolated gods in the Central Region of the God-King Star Sector, but he couldn't find a single target. As for the Eastern, Western, Southern, and Northern quadrants, he couldn't openly challenge them yet since his faction's baseline foundation wasn't deep enough. Because of this, his power growth had temporarily hit a bottleneck. Fortunately, he wasn't in a rush.
As for the Hestia Familia, Lili—being the very first child under Hestia's name—naturally received an immense amount of attention from everyone. For the past two weeks, Seito had spent time guiding her almost every single day.
After all, learning a core spatial skill was exceptionally difficult. Thank goodness Seito was the Space God-King himself; otherwise, it would have been impossible to teach her the basic concepts in such a short period.
Armed with the Spatial Phase-Step skill, Lili's leveling speed skyrocketed! Under the close protection and training of Kitahara Iori and the boys, she had already successfully broken through to Level 3! Setting aside the max-level monsters of the Fatui Guild, she could now be considered a prominent small powerhouse within Orario!
Lili's absurdly fast progression rate naturally caught the eyes of many people in the city. Everyone knew that the only reason she could break through so rapidly was due to the absolute backing of Seito's Familia!
This realization made countless adventurers desperate to join either the Hestia Familia or Seito's Familia. Even Kirukiru Amou and Maple were constantly approached by adventurers begging to pledge their loyalty.
However, they didn't accept a single applicant. After all, the absolute majority of these people harbored deeply dishonest intentions. Mortals were completely incapable of lying to a god; the moment they tried to spin a fake excuse, Seito and the girls simply told them to screw off.
Furthermore, those outsiders viewed the situation far too simply! Lili's rapid growth was entirely inseparable from her own brutal hard work. If anyone wanted to boost their base stats at such a speed, they had to be willing to fight for their lives!
Every single time Lili returned from the Dungeon, her clothes were completely drenched in thick blood. Some of it belonged to monsters, but a large portion was her own. Thank goodness Iori and the boys had high-tier healing skills on hand; otherwise, Lili would have died a dozen times over!
Continuous life-and-death combat naturally forced her instincts to evolve, causing her combat techniques to advance at a breakneck pace. Even gathering Great Feats was no longer an issue!
However...! To ensure Lili's ultimate potential reached the highest parameter possible, Seito ordered her to completely max out every single one of her base stats to their absolute ceilings before triggering a level up. Lili agreed without a single second of hesitation!
Seeing her child working so incredibly hard, Hestia naturally stopped worrying and fully backed her choice.
Right now, inside the front yard of Seito's Familia estate...
Lili was actively sparring with Kitahara Iori.
BANG!
Iori delivered a soaring kick, forcing Lili to stumble back several steps before restabilizing her stance.
"Alright, let's wrap it up for today. Lili, you're already Level 3 now. As long as you keep grinding according to the training routine the boss laid out for you, your actual combat power will become terrifyingly strong!" Iori grinned widely, looking at the young girl before him.
Over the past month, Lili had completely become the absolute pet of the entire guild. The reason wasn't just because everyone adored her, but primarily because she was a disciple they had all collectively raised from scratch! Watching her grow so strong filled the suited tough guys with immense pride and satisfaction!
"Understood," Lili nodded heavily, a bright smile breaking across her face.
During this period, she had completely transformed from a helpless Supporter into a dedicated combat adventurer, and her entire development path had pivoted toward active warfare. Although her initial innate skills were built around supporting, things were completely different now. The Spatial Phase-Step Seito had taught her had officially become the absolute anchor of her build!
"Lili, take a good rest for the next couple of days. Don't push yourself to go down to the Dungeon for a while," Hestia said, looking at her child with pure affection.
A child who brought so much honor to her name made it incredibly easy for a deity to feel satisfied. Life in the heavens was far too boring, which was why the gods descended to the lower world. Down here, it was the era of the adventurers; when a Familia member showed spectacular results, it gave their god an immense amount of face! And Lili did exactly that.
"Oh right, I remember Lili's official adventurer title was finalized today, wasn't it?" Seito asked out of nowhere.
A title was a unique designation given to every adventurer who reached Level 2. However, most of the titles generated by the Denatus were completely awful, since the native gods loved to mess around and play jokes. As for why Kitahara Iori and the boys didn't have titles? It was entirely because of the bizarre names they had registered with in the first place! With names that distinct, there was zero need for the gods to generate a title anyway.
"That's right!"
The moment the topic was raised, Hestia clapped her hands together, resting them on her hips as she spoke with immense pride.
"The gods didn't dare to mess around with Lili's title at all. After all, everyone knows she was personally trained by you and the Grand Drunkard's crew. Her official title is [Spatial Saint]!"
Hearing her new title, Lili's eyes instantly lit up with a brilliant light! Her heart pounded with intense excitement because her title explicitly carried the word "Spatial." And Seito was the Space God-King! The underlying bond between them was already glaringly obvious.
"That's a pretty fantastic title," Seito smiled, catching the meaning behind it instantly.
Tap, tap, tap~~
Right at that moment, a set of footsteps approached from the main gates. Seito and the others turned their eyes toward the entryway.
They watched as Kirukiru Amou and Maple walked into the yard, and walking right between the two goddesses was a stoic, golden-haired girl.
Seeing the newcomer, Seito froze for a second.
"What brings Aiz over here?"
