Chapter 18: Fertile Life of Liora
Seeing the shop named "Fertile Life of Liora," Barbatos made up his mind and entered.
"Greetings, Master~"
"Welcome to the Fertile Life of Liora!"
Inside, he was greeted by beautiful goddesses wearing risqué clothing that cleverly hid their intimate parts but showed a lot of skin.
Barbatos' eyes widened in shock, 'There are several Gold Demigods among them, and even two True Gods!'
'If this were the Eternal Continent, I'd already be dead if I met them. But here, in the marketplace of the Divine God City, even they, who are far stronger than me, can only greet me seductively.'
Barbatos pondered, 'As expected of a shop called "Fertile Life"! This place exudes life and fertility.'
He recalled from the god forum that the Fertile Life of Liora was run by the Goddess of Fertile Life, Liora. She was a True God, just half a step away from becoming a Median True God, and had an Upper True God as her mentor who also held the divine position of life.
'Not only is she stronger than my classmate Taleos, but her mentor is also stronger than Taleos' mentor.'
Barbatos realized that the Divine God City was teeming with powerhouses. Of course, he felt this way because he was currently weak. If he were a True God, having these Gold Demigods treat him seductively would be beneath his divine status.
As a Silver Demigod weaker than them, Barbatos appreciated the warm reception at the Fertile Life of Liora. He had heard from the god forum that even Bronze Demigods were treated the same because all customers were valued here.
In the marketplace of the Divine God City, money, or divine energy, was the primary measure of a god's status. Customers with more divine energy were treated better than those with mere power.
Those Bronze Demigods with more divine energy would be treated better than a True God.
The only exception would be Main Gods. No matter how poor a Main God was, they would still be richer than a Median True God. However, Barbatos didn't have to worry about meeting them since, let alone Main Gods, even Median True Gods rarely appeared in this marketplace located in the outer area of the Divine God City.
The Divine God City was divided into three areas. The outer area housed Demigods and True Gods, the inner area housed Median True Gods and Upper True Gods, while the core area was reserved exclusively for Main Gods.
It's not that Demigods couldn't enter those areas, but which Demigod would dare?
Imagine walking in the inner area, surrounded by Median True Gods and Upper True Gods. It's like a weak sheep hanging out with wolves and lions. If that isn't courting death, then they must be tired of living.
Although a god's power was reduced in the Divine God City, this rule only applied within the city's limits.
For example, in the inner area, the power of Median True Gods and Upper True Gods was reduced to a certain percentage. If they entered the outer area, their power would be further reduced. However, even with these reductions, a demigod would still be outmatched by sealed gods whose power remained superior.
Therefore, aside from demigods who were mentors to gods in the inner and core areas, none would dare to enter those regions. Barbatos was no exception.
He didn't want to risk offending anyone there. Even if a Main God couldn't attack him directly in the Eternal Continent, they could still deal with him through other means.
Realizing this, Barbatos understood he needed to become stronger as soon as possible.
Faced with the seductive reception of the beautiful goddesses, Barbatos smiled politely, his demeanor as gentle as a spring breeze. "I'm here to purchase standard reproduction cards, and it's my first time here. Can one of you assist me with my purchase?"
Although Barbatos greeted them with a smile, the beautiful goddesses sensed that he was not interested in their seductive approach.
Recognizing his intent, one of the Gold Demigods instantly changed her attire to that of a professional receptionist and greeted Barbatos warmly, "Esteemed customer, please follow me. I will be your guide here."
Fertile Life of Liora not only sold standard and elite reproduction cards, but also offered weapons and resources related to the divine position of life. However, what truly made them famous was their unique services: customers could experience firsthand the process of creating life.
This was why the beautiful goddesses greeted Barbatos in risqué clothing—they were offering him the opportunity to choose one of them for a session in the love-making room. Fertile Life of Liora functioned both as a shop and a brothel.
But since Barbatos showed no interest in their sexual services, the beautiful goddesses didn't press him. Instead, one of them transformed into a professional receptionist and guided him to where the reproduction cards were sold.
Of course, Barbatos was well aware of their sexual services. Before visiting this shop, he had thoroughly researched the Fertile Life of Liora.
Although the goddesses were beautiful and even stronger than him, Barbatos had no interest in them.
For gods, beauty and charm were indispensable. There was no god who was ugly; all of them were charming, with the exception of Dark Gods or those with divine positions related to ugliness.
Moreover, none of these goddesses could compare to Restara's beauty. Barbatos still preferred his future wife Restara.
Even if he were to start a harem, he wasn't the type of man who would sleep with just any woman. He had high standards and would only sleep with those he loved and was willing to marry.
He wasn't interested in one-night stands. For him, it was more important to focus on his divine cultivation rather than indulge in sex and desires.
After being led by the Gold Demigod staff, Barbatos arrived at the interior of the shop, where countless reproduction cards were displayed for sale. There was even a sign indicating that if the displayed reproduction cards weren't enough, customers could ask Liora for more.
However, Barbatos didn't have enough money to buy in bulk, nor was he interested in doing so. For him, using time acceleration was a much cheaper alternative than purchasing reproduction cards.
The only reason he didn't use time acceleration was that his main believer race had only around a hundred members. Accelerating time under these conditions wouldn't produce a significant number of new members.
After picking fifteen standard reproduction cards, Barbatos paid 150,000 divine energy strands and left the Fertile Life of Liora with the reproduction cards in hand.
He mused, 'Now that I have these reproduction cards, it's time to return to the Eternal Continent and increase the number of my believers.'
