56: Chapter 56 Gods and Kings (Revised Edition) 56: Chapter 56 Gods and Kings (Revised Edition) Having confird the powerful function of this “character background,” Mo Fei was ready to fully utilize it.
Ideas sprouted in his mind instantly, and with a chuckle, Mo Fei began to experint.
“Your na is Aidan, you are the descendant of the King of Stormwind and the Goddess of Life Notina…”
A prince and a demigod, that background should be powerful enough.
System prompt: The character background setting conflicts with the storyline, unable to create.
Mo Fei wasn’t surprised; it seed that the character background settings couldn’t exceed the existing frawork of the storyline, and fan-made backgrounds weren’t allowed.
Only those that fit the original setting could be generated.
Clearly, the King of Stormwind and the Goddess of Life had no romantic relationship, so conceiving a child was obviously impossible.
It seed he could only choose one parent.
“Your na is Aidan, you are the true blood of the Goddess of Life Notina, a powerful demigod…”
System prompt: Creating this character background requires 500,000,000 points, insufficient balance, please recharge.
Five hundred million points were already quite cheap compared to the reincarnation of a Creator God, but this was still beyond Mo Fei’s ans.
Being a son is so expensive, perhaps being a grandson might be cheaper?
“Your na is Aidan, you are the grandson of the Goddess of Life Notina, a weak demigod…”
System prompt: Creating this character background requires 300,000,000 points, do you wish to proceed?
Hey, it’s cheaper indeed, cutting the price by 40%.
So, it seems the divine bloodline can indeed be sold by weight!
Mo Fei was quite excited about his discovery, feeling he had found an entry point.
“Your na is Aidan, you are the very distant grandson of the Goddess of Life Notina, with your divine bloodline now extrely diluted, retaining only a trace of divine power…”
System prompt: Creating this character background requires 5,000,000 points, do you wish to proceed?
Mo Fei clicked no, sighing internally that even an eight or nine generations diluted divine bloodline still cost five million, indeed pulling ties with a deity wasn’t cheap.
However, he still planned to set a divine bloodline background for his character.
It wasn’t that he valued the slight attribute boost or the bloodline talent; it was that many hidden professions, quests, and skills could be triggered by special identity backgrounds.
Even if the chance of triggering was only 1%, cumulative attempts over ti could still result in a few lucky breaks, but without such a background, the chance would be absolutely zero.
It’s the difference between 0 and 1, which seems small but is actually worlds apart.
Regarding which deity’s grandson to beco, there was no need to decide just yet.
That would depend on the specific birth country.
Besides divine bloodlines, royals were of course essential, as gods and kings were basically the top-tier identities in Western fantasy stories.
Mo Fei was ready to take on the role of a prince.
Players with the title of ‘prince’ could access a simplified version of the lordship module, owning their lands and vassals, and aside from leveling up through quests and battles, they could also enjoy the experience of being a local emperor.
Furthermore, ‘princes’ could lead troops in the early stages.
With minions to help in battles, leveling up was naturally more secure.
While other heroes had to worry about plot-related deaths at low levels, princes were much safer in this respect.
“Your na is Aidan, you are the legitimate eldest son of the Kingdom of Lordaeron with the right to inherit the throne…”
System prompt: Creating this character background requires 300,000,000 points, insufficient balance, please recharge.
Mo Fei sighed internally.
Three hundred million, almost catching up to the price of being a goddess’s own son.
nethil, oh nethil, your throne is worth so much.
He thought about it, considering that the issue might be about the right of inheritance.
If a player actually succeeded to the throne and beca the King of Lordaeron, they could then sell titles and lands, with nurous ways to break even, so three hundred million might not be too expensive after all.
“Your na is Aidan, you are an ordinary prince of the Kingdom of Lordaeron…”
This ti it was much cheaper, only five million.
There was indeed a big gap between having and not having the right to inherit.
Still, Mo Fei couldn’t bring himself to spend that much.
He’d feel pain over spending just a hundred thousand to build a hero template, let alone five million…that was highway robbery.
After so thought, why not lower the standard a bit?
“Your na is Aidan, you are the illegitimate son of the King of Lordaeron…”
This ti it was even more affordable, only five hundred thousand.
But five hundred thousand for the identity of an illegitimate child seed too degrading, and it was unknown whether it ca with the title of prince.
Without it, that would be a huge loss.
After thinking it over, Mo Fei decided to try a different kingdom.
He opened up all the selectable powers and eliminated several non-human factions such as Ironforge, Quel’Thalas, Gnoregan, Aerie Peak, and others.
Laying out the remaining human factions in a list, he ranked them from strongest to weakest.
Generally, the more powerful the faction, the more expensive the royalty, and the weaker the faction, the cheaper the price.
Now Mo Fei looked intently at the list.

Mo Fei tried each in turn, and sure enough, it was as he had thought, the highest prices were for the Kingdom of Lordaeron and the Kingdom of Stormwind, with legitimate sons being around five million each, illegitimate children still costing five hundred thousand, and direct heirs going for over a hundred million.
Dalaran didn’t have a royal family, so it wasn’t an option, Kul Tiras princes were three million, while princes from Stromgarde and Gilneas were only two million.
The cheapest, however, were the princes from the Kingdom of Altland, going for rely five hundred thousand, the sa as an illegitimate child from Lordaeron, but an illegitimate child cost only fifty thousand.
The price for the direct heirs was even cheaper, just fifteen million tokens.
Mo Fei couldn’t help but sigh; indeed, weak countries have no human rights.
He didn’t want to spend too much money, the account’s total price of one million was already the limit he could afford.
A bronze tier hero template for 100,000, a prince for 500,000, and then 400,000 for so deity bloodlines would make everything complete.
After wavering between an illegitimate child from Lordaeron and a legitimate son from Altland for a long ti, Mo Fei eventually chose the latter, as the saying goes, better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix.
A prince of a weak country is still a prince after all, with land and vassals, definitely better than an illegitimate child with no real standing.
Once he decided on the kingdom of his birth, the choice of deity beca much simpler.
The deities of the World of Sky all had humanoid incarnations, and many had offspring with mortals; after generations upon generations, who knows how many descendants there are?
The royal family of Altland were, at the least, descended from renowned heroes; they should be able to have so connection to a deity’s lineage.
The main deity worshipped by the people of Altland is the Storm God Anronas, so Mo Fei decided to start from there; if that didn’t work, he would consider others.
[Your na is Aidan, you are the son of the King of Altland, and royal blood flows in your veins.
At the sa ti, you are also a distant descendant of the Storm God Anronas.
Although the divine bloodline in you has beco so diluted it’s nearly imperceptible, occasionally, during the onset of a storm, you can still feel the restlessness in your heart, as if a sliver of Storm Divine Power still courses through you…]
After reading through the character background generated by the system several tis, Mo Fei nodded in satisfaction and clicked to generate.
[System Prompt: Generating this character background requires 850,000 tokens, do you confirm?]
Character background for 850,000, hero template for 100,000, totaling 950,000, not bad, within the budget.
Confirm, Mo Fei gritted his teeth and pressed down hard.
