Chapter 173

"Unknowingly, seven months have passed since I obtained the Myriad Realms Fishing System."

"Time passes really quickly."

Ye Xuan sighs slightly.

His lifespan has become long, he has goals to pursue, and his life is fulfilling and busy. If it weren't for the fishing times reminded by the Myriad Realms Fishing System every month, he would find it difficult to notice the passage of time.

The breakthrough of life level, the all-round growth of ability, plus the five-element bloodline given by the Fire Shadow Stone... just as Angel Zhi Xin once insighted, his lifespan limit has long broken through a thousand years, and it is still increasing with the improvement of strength.

In this case, his perception of time is destined to be different from ordinary people.

Fortunately, it is not now.

If he forgets to fish in the future because he is immersed in cultivation, resulting in the fishing times of the month being wasted, it is not disappointing, but there will be some regrets.

Fishing times cannot be accumulated, which is the only flaw of the Myriad Realms Fishing System.

"System, start fishing."

As Ye Xuan's voice falls, the scene in front of him changes suddenly.

In an instant, he is in the boundless galaxy, with countless flashing world light points under his feet, like scattered stars, and an ancient fishing rod condenses into shape in his hand, with faint light flowing on the rod body.

Without the shock and hesitation of the first time, Ye Xuan flicks his wrist, and the fishing line falls silently, disappearing into the vast world sea.

While waiting, a trace of expectation arises in Ye Xuan's heart.

The "Hongyun Qitian Gu" fished up last time, although it was only an eighth-rank luck-path Gu worm in the Gu world, and the world system and strength of the Gu world itself were not high, but "Hongyun Qitian Gu" brought him four Myriad Realms treasures in the real world, as well as the dimensional creature Fire Qilin.

The Emperor Armor is higher in level and upper limit than "Hongyun Qitian Gu" itself, but it was also harvested by him because of the influence of luck.

Theoretically, he who has fused "Hongyun Qitian Gu" far surpasses his former self in luck, and the rewards of this fishing will also likely be higher than previous rewards, but Ye Xuan doesn't think "Hongyun Qitian Gu" can affect the system's fishing.

Even because the harvest last time was too rich, he feels that this time it might be balanced back, and the level of the items fished up will not be too high.

While Ye Xuan is thinking, the fishing line suddenly tightens! He lifts his wrist instinctively, and the fishing rod bends into a full moon.

Deep in the galaxy, a stream of light that is dazzling to the extreme roars across the long river of the starry sky, and wherever it passes, countless stars around are covered by this light.

"This is...?"

Ye Xuan's pupils shrink. After six fishing sessions, this is the first time he has seen such dazzling light!

【Ding】

【Congratulations to the host for obtaining the status: Child of the World (Growable)】

The system's voice also rings in Ye Xuan's ear. At the same time, a massive amount of information pours into Ye Xuan's mind.

【Item Name: Status: Child of the World (Growable)】

【World of Origin: *Re: Zero - Starting Life in Another World*】

【Item Information: Originating from the status possessed by the character Reinhard van Astrea in *Re: Zero - Starting Life in Another World*, the possessor will be loved by the world's will.】

【Item Characteristics: Destiny returns, the world's will will actively cater to the possessor's growth trajectory, and everything will help him become stronger in the most ideal way.

Wish fulfillment, what is thought in the heart will definitely become reality, unless the status possessor himself does not think so.

Bad luck immunity: Any accidents, plots, curses will be automatically corrected by world rules and will never cause any impact on the status possessor himself.】

【Remark: Because there is a difference between the current world and the status's native world, the degree of favor is limited, but it has a higher growth upper limit.】

【Remark: World favor is affected by the rules of the status's native world and will appear on the host in the form of blessings.】

【Remark: Reinhard van Astrea is the person most loved by the world in *Re: Zero - Starting Life in Another World*, so he possesses "acquired blessings," that is, the world will grant him corresponding blessings according to what Reinhard van Astrea wants;

The host does not possess "acquired blessings" before becoming the person most loved by the world.】

"..."

Silence.

Long silence.

After a long time, Ye Xuan comes back to his senses, and an incredible expression slowly appears on his face.

"No..."

"What did you say I fished up?"

Ye Xuan can't believe it. He is not joking; he really can't believe it.

Child of the World status?

Originating from the status of Sword Saint Reinhard van Astrea in *Re: Zero - Starting Life in Another World*?

Can this kind of thing also be fished up?

Although the system did say that it can fish up all tangible or intangible items such as abilities, props, talents, and fates in the Myriad Realms, but the status he fished up for the first time is at the level of 【Child of the World】, is it a bit too much?

This is not the 【Child of Luck】 like Xiao Yan who still has to be a waste for three years and then grow step by step, but the 【Child of the World】 who is truly loved by the world and afraid that he will die, and is also the well-deserved strongest in *Re: Zero - Starting Life in Another World*.

This is also one of the very few existences who are clearly not the protagonist of the world, but are called "True Protagonist" and "Author's Biological Father."

Ye Xuan takes a deep breath, trying to calm the emotions in his heart, and the entire information of "Reinhard van Astrea" emerges in his mind.

Reinhard was born into the "Sword Saint" Astrea family and belongs to the Royal Guard.

As the contemporary "Sword Saint" and possessing the world's strongest strength, he is also known as the "Knight of Knights." He is a well-known celebrity in the royal capital and the only existence in the world who can compete with the Witch of Envy, but they cannot distinguish the winner due to compatibility issues.

He is rigorous, honest, upright, brave, humble, and polite, taking the prosperity of the kingdom as his own responsibility; plus he has the courage to help the weak, even on holidays, he will do his best to help people in trouble, and is a national hero who has gained great trust from the people.

However, these are not the most important things. What is important is the favor he possesses as the 【Child of the World】.

In the world of "Re: Zero," when people are born, the world will give people blessings through the Od soul power Lagna Source Pool. This blessing is called a blessing.

Most people are born without blessings, people born with blessings know their blessings without being told, and some blessings are limited to a certain race.

According to the settings, only 1% of the whole world has blessings, most of which are useless; 0.1% have useful blessings; 0.01% have rare blessings; 0.001% have very practical blessings; 0.0001% have extremely rare blessings; 0.00001% have multiple blessings.

And Reinhard has at least 251 blessings.

Yes, at least, not only.

Once "acquired blessings" are opened, as long as he needs them, the world will grant them.

It can be said that he is the well-deserved Child of the World, but the perspective of the work is based on Natsuki Subaru.

Ye Xuan obtained Reinhard's 【Child of the World】 status. Although he certainly cannot enjoy the treatment of Reinhard in the real world, even if it is only a part, it is probably terrifying enough.

After all, in terms of world level, whether it is spiritual energy recovery or dimensional invasion, the real world is far more powerful than the "Re: Zero" world in potential.

"Hongyun Qitian Gu, superimposed with 【Child of the World】 status..."

"Broken, did I really become the protagonist?"

Although he says so, the smile on Ye Xuan's face is hard to restrain. Who would dislike their own luck and being loved by the world?

That is, this is the real world, and Hongyun Qitian Gu and 【Child of the World】 status do not originate from the same world. Otherwise, if these two were fused together, I am afraid they could practice a ninth-rank or even tenth-rank Gu worm.

"System, claim the reward, and start fusing."

Without any hesitation, Ye Xuan says directly to the system.

As his voice falls, the galaxy flows in the system space, and the stream of light containing the 【Child of the World】 status turns into thousands of starlight, slowly merging into his soul origin.

The fusion process is surprisingly calm, without any strange phenomena, nor any unbearable transformation. After all, it is a status, not power; just like spring rain moistening things silently, Ye Xuan only feels a certain sublimation in essence, as if he were gently embraced by the whole world.

When he opens his eyes again, the system space is still shining with stars, and it seems that nothing has changed; but when his intention moves to exit, the entire galaxy suddenly ripples strangely.

【Status fusion complete】

【Detected that the world consciousness where the host is located is sleeping, and is establishing a connection with world consciousness...】

The moment Ye Xuan came out of the system space, he hadn't even looked at reality, and his consciousness was pulled into a mysterious state.

He "sees"—no, he perceives a huge and hazy consciousness appearing in front of him, slowly stretching like a water lily awakened by the sun.

"This is...?"

At the level beyond dimensions, Ye Xuan "gazes" at that azure consciousness. It seems to perceive his existence and suddenly ripples gently.

【Parent-child】, 【Favor】, 【Luck-favored】... countless intentions beyond language intersect in the void, and the Blue Star consciousness trembles ignorantly, like a mother identifying a long-lost wanderer.

In its billions of years of sleep, it has nurtured countless children of luck, but it has never felt such a close child of luck.

Not only carrying more luck than the children of luck it nurtured in the past, but also having the world's blessing, but this blessing doesn't seem to be its?

How can this be?

In a trance, Ye Xuan feels warm light particles seeping into his soul. This is a gift instinctively given by Blue Star consciousness, and then it appears on Ye Xuan in the form of "blessings."

Although it is not as exaggerated as Reinhard, with the gradual awakening of Blue Star consciousness and the greater weight of Ye Xuan in this world, he will one day reach the degree of being loved by the world like Reinhard.

When the connection is about to be interrupted, Ye Xuan seems to hear the murmur of Blue Star consciousness that is almost like a child:

"... Be... good."

Then, the azure brilliance returns to silence, continuing its long sleep.

When Ye Xuan opens his eyes again, his consciousness has returned to reality; but at this moment, the azure and magnificent world consciousness is still clearly reflected in his mind.

"Is this the will of Blue Star?"

He mutters softly, his palms unconsciously stroking his chest. Even with his current Stage Five strength, he is still as small as a drop in the ocean in front of that vast planetary consciousness.

Although there is an infinitely distant gap between Stage Five and Stage Eight, that magnificent, deep, and motherly warm will far exceeds any of his previous imaginations.

Are all planetary consciousnesses so vast, or is Blue Star so special?

This question hovers in Ye Xuan's heart, but is quickly suppressed.

"It's too early to think about this now."

Ye Xuan shakes his head. For him now, there is still a long way to go before he can truly understand the Stage Eight realm of such existence.

Rather than being ambitious, it is better to be down-to-earth and continue to become stronger. When his strength is strong enough, the problem will naturally be answered.

Ye Xuan closes his eyes and concentrates, carefully perceiving the newly obtained power in his body; the blessing given by Blue Star consciousness is now flowing in his body in the form of "blessings":

1. 【Blessing of the Sword Saint: Can kill things that cannot be killed, and exert the sword's ability to the greatest extent】

【Remark: You seem to like swords very much.】

2. 【Blessing of Evasion: The opponent's long-range attacks cannot hit】

【Remark: Be careful of sneak attacks.】

3. 【Blessing of Arrows: Own long-range attacks must hit】

【Remark: Are arrows also swords?】

4. 【Blessing of Elements: 80% immunity to elemental attacks such as gold, wood, water, fire, earth, ice, thunder, light, dark, etc.】

【Remark: Elements are very dangerous things.】

5. 【Blessing of First Sight: If it is an attack that can be seen, the opponent's first attack must not hit (whether it is a blind spot or the person himself is unconscious)】

【Remark: Sneak attacks are not just long-range, right?】

6. 【Blessing of Re-arrival: If it is an attack that can be seen, the opponent's second and subsequent attacks must not hit】

【Remark: Once and for all is better.】

7. 【Blessing of the Sky: Strength will increase in sunny, rainy, cloudy, hail, day, and night (can be superimposed)】

【Remark: Come on, defeat the enemy.】

8. 【Blessing of Spirit: Possesses great resistance to mental attacks, but cannot be immune】

【Remark: You seem very worried about being hypnotized.】

9. 【Blessing of the Phoenix: Can be resurrected once.】

【Remark: You cannot die.】

10. 【Blessing of the Phoenix: Continued: Automatically appears after the Blessing of the Phoenix is triggered, no limit on the number of times】

【Remark: Life is a very precious thing.】

"Is this the favor that the Child of the World can enjoy?"

"It really is, incredibly exaggerated."

Ye Xuan feels the many blessing powers flowing in his body and can't help but sigh.

Too exaggerated, really, too exaggerated.

He feels that each of these blessings is incredibly exaggerated.
