In The Beggining C3 Authorities

I can bypass telepathic conversations, huh?

In my mother Astasia's quarters, the servants, seemingly at the bottom of the food chain in this world, are still gods serving the Luminaire family.

Despite being lower gods, they're more powerful than Matthew!

"Is my telepathic conversations breaching the so-called Isekai Blessing?" I couldn't help but think in excitement.

But enough of that...

Time slipped slowly yet quickly, and now I am finally a 5-month-old, recently birthed god.

"Do you understand, Matthew? In this world, you need to become strong... To survive," my new mother Astasia said, patting my head.

"Are you serious right now? I'm just a few months old, and you're saying that to me?" I couldn't help but think, but I suppressed my faint annoyance, as this was clearly not the ordinary and normal world I am in...

I mean, this is the world of the gods, after all...

Speaking of gods, I suddenly recall the memory after I was reborn into this world...

From what I remember, I was in the empty void, having discussions with a peculiar being, or more accurately, my voice echoed...

Now that I remember it, the being called the 'Word' seemed to know that I would become a god...

It's just that I didn't expect to become a god this way—being reborn into a lesser god through the birth of a beautiful young goddess...

And my mother, the young goddess, is actually the goddess of love and kindness...

I'm not yet aware of the details, but from the servants' conversations, my mother seems to be the weakest god among my father's wives...

"How could they treat my mother like this? When she treated them kindly..." I couldn't help but have these thoughts...

Most of the servants in my mother's quarters are women, but only some of them really care for my mother, and the one especially close to her is the middle-aged woman, Susan.

"Yes... You are doing very well. I have high hopes that you'll become a greater god in the future."

A handsome man with red hair, clad in fine golden armor and wielding a sharp sword with a golden sheath, addressed the five-year-old-looking boy with blue hair, who was currently holding a wooden sword.

The boy said to the handsome man, "Thank you, Father! I'll do my best to live up to your expectations!"

The man smiled and replied, "Good."

A young woman with blue hair, dressed in a beautiful red gown, approached the two and said to the handsome man, "What do you think, my dear god? Our son is only 4 months old, yet he already knows his purpose."

Unexpectedly, the boy, appearing to be five years old, was actually just a four-month-old babe...

The man smiled as he looked at the boy, saying, "I've seen. And I am satisfied. He is really talented despite being just four months old... You've taken care of him well."

"Of course, My dear god. I am Ava Glorious Luminaire.... The blood that our son has inherited comes from both of us, talented gods!" Ava smiled, hooking her arms against the handsome man.

"Indeed... As our son also inherited my blood! I am Kastir Eclipse Luminaire!" The man added, looking at his son. "As the reason for your existence and the blessing you received by inheriting our blood, your parents' blood, remember to have faith in us forevermore!"

The boy became extremely serious after hearing that, kneeling in a way that surprised his parents slightly. He said, "I'll swear an oath in my divine presence signature, that I'll forever be faithful to you, Father! Mother!"

Hearing that, both Kastir and Ava were visibly a bit astonished before exchanging glances and smiling at each other.

"It's not the right way to swear an oath, my son. Although I praise your bravery to swear in your divine presence signature, you are not yet at the right age before swearing the 'Children of Gods Oath'..." Kastir smiled as he tousled the boy's hair.

"But..." The boy seemed unwilling, but his mother interrupted him.

"My son, Zenith. Your godfather is right." Ava smiled as she kneeled on one knee to be face to face with the boy. She said, "Before the age of 15, the oath of the gods below the age of 15 will not take effect."

"Hmm..." Kastir nodded in agreement. Seeing Zenith extremely reluctant, Kastir felt proud in his heart.

'My son with Ava is really different from that mistake...' Kastir couldn't help but think of his other son, named Matthew... His son with Astasia...

Thinking of that, Kastir furrowed his brows slightly for a second before returning to normal...

I was currently having a teaching session with my mother Astasia, and she was about to educate me about the world of the gods.

"Matthew, my son. You are already 5 months old, so you should learn how the world works..." Astasia smiled warmly as she stared at me.

'Sigh... I'm too much of a failure as a godmother for my son... He should have known this knowledge after a week he was born...'

I heard my mother's guilty voice in my head, and this surprised me. I thought she was talking without opening her mouth, but from the looks of it, she was actually thinking...

'Wait... I can hear her thoughts?' I couldn't help but think in astonishment. From what I remembered so far in my five months of life in this world, besides the servants having a convo via telepathy, I wasn't able to know their thoughts. But today, I clearly heard my mother's thoughts...

I couldn't wrap my head around it, so I just decided to listen to my mother after she started her teaching.

"Matthew, my son. This world is called the 'Heavenly Realm' in our Kingdom, the Kingdom of Elysians. The name varies from 'Divine Realm', 'Realm of the Gods'; the name varies in each Kingdom that exists upon our vast world." Astasia explained patiently as she looked at me with care.

'Oh... Such a caring woman.' I couldn't help but think, but at the same time, I felt pity for her; she was paired with an uncaring man.

"The gods of the Heavenly Realm are divided into different authorities, and the authority is what dictates how powerful an individual is."

As soon as I heard that, I couldn't help but want to shake my head. After all, even in the world of the gods, 'Authority' was still important...

"The lowest authority of this world is the 'Servants,'" Astasia explained to me with a smile.

"Servants?" I couldn't help but ask. I thought that the power leveling system here would be like in other novels? Like: Beginner god, intermediate god, amateur god, then they ascend to lesser god, middle god, and upper god, and finally, True God?

Like some novels I read in my previous life where authors didn't bother with the power system and just copied and pasted the power level system of some Chinese novels...

As I was thinking deeply, my mother responded patiently, "Matthew, my son. 'Servants' are the lowest in the authority in this world, as they are originally mortals that ascended to the Heavenly Realm to be servants of their Lord."

As soon as I heard it, I finally nodded in a bit of understanding. 'I'll learn more about this as I grow...'

"And above the 'Servants' are the 'Angels'..."

This piqued my curiosity slightly. "Angels? What are they?"

I saw my mother smiling before explaining patiently, "Angels are untalented gods that don't have the ability to gain any supporters from the mortal worlds, since they can't even link their spirit into a single world..."

'Oh... Interesting...' I couldn't help but think in interest as I asked, "Link their spirit into a world?"

I saw my mother smiling just as warmly while saying, "We'll soon get to that topic. Let's finish talking about the power division of this world..."

"Oh, okay." I smiled cheerfully as I responded.
