Chapter 263: Divine Heaven (3)
—
Neji hadn’t revealed the Konoha incident to his girls yet. Three of the eight girls on his planet had people they cared about in Konoha, even if some weren’t blood-related families like Tenten's. Obviously, hiding it from them was a dumb thing to do since it was irreversible— but that’s the thing, it may not be irreversible. Sure, he couldn’t bring them back from the dead because their bodies didn't exist anymore but… he could bring their souls back.
He was a God now.
He had a Divine Heaven now.
A heaven where he could keep some souls if wished. So that— even though most Konoha people were dead, by bringing their souls to his heaven they could meet anyone they wished as long as Neji allowed. Same with the other way around, his girls could meet their dead family. With that, these girls wouldn’t have to go through the same episode Nejire and Momo had to. He didn't wish to see that.
So he inquired about how to use and the limitations of a Divine Heaven from Lady Luck. Sisty suggested it's better to ask the entity rather than herself. The problem with that was, well, he didn't hold back from pissing on her earlier.
[“Heh. Beg, go on, beg with your eyes teary and ask mommy for forgiveness.”]
“You want me to beg Tsunade and ask her for forgiveness?” Despite the situation, Neji couldn’t hold back from teasing her.
Naturally, she threw a tantrum and didn't want to answer any of his questions after that. Sadly, he was too witfull for his own good.
Sisty sighed. [No, you are a dumbass.] she said, daring to insult him. [Why are you pissing off a Multidimensional being?]
“She doesn't mind." Neji shrugged.
[How are you so sure?]
“Well. Let's ask her.” Neji looked up. “Are you mad? Will you erase this puny existence of mine because of my joke earlier, my beautiful lady?”
After a short silence where the air became intense, a giggle answered him.
[“Don’t ask stupid questions like that ever again. Your ‘twin’ is right though, you made this Queen mad. Hmph. You must make up for it once you are done in that lower-world.”] Lady Luck answered as Neji smirked.
“Looking forward to it. In any case, now if you would explain-”
[“I will not. Sayonara~”]
Then her voice vanished.
“…”
[…Suits you well. Sorry, I didn't mean to be mean. I just always thought that a being of her depth just saw you as a mere entertainment medium, given her Quest and all. By the way, I am using your “Blank” skill, so don’t worry, she isn’t listening.]
Neji waved it off. "Don't worry about it, she's not that bad."
Billion-year-old or whatever, she liked him. Maybe not the same amount of liking he did, maybe she didn't love him, but oh well. She was old, making her fall would take some time. But he will make her fall for him sooner or later, than was inevitable. She was in this process already— but for now, she mostly did see him as just an ‘interesting’ little thing, Sisty was right on that. He was only pulling Lady Luck's leg because Neji knew this ‘quarrel’ made their bond stronger rather than the other way around.
“In any case, my dear, if you’d kindly explain the heaven thing to me. Since my mother divine won't."
["Ahem,"] Lady Luck coughed before Sisty could reply. ["It's fine. I will explain."]
Neji smiled while Sisty gave him a wow.
["A Divine Heaven is an ability that not all Gods have but most do. It allows them to create a pocket dimension where they control everything. You want food? You just wish for it. Do you want angels to entertain you? Now that you have Ying-Yang Release, you can create life as well— so angels are possible, and they'd also do as you wish. Anything, as long as you can imagine it, can happen there."] Lady Luck explained. ["You can change the terrain of the heaven according to your wish, as in make "Hell" if you wish. You can also bring souls to this heaven as long as you can summon them first. You can restrict the use of heavenly resources to the souls who would live in this realm, which I suggest you do since every wish is paid from your Faith Points."]
That was a good enough explanation.
["Also, although you can create heaven anywhere, I suggest you do so in your Pocket Dimension Planet, or whatever that is. Since it can move along with you everywhere, it's better there."] Lady Luck finished. ["Now go go, do your job."]
Neji narrowed his eyes at her cheerfulness. Was she planning something?
Whatever the case, he created a portal to Arcane Plane and jumped into it. He didn't want to make it while staying in Naruto world because there were Gods in that world and they might intervene or something if he tried creating his heaven. He was honestly surprised why none of them had come to him yet.
I'm Arcane Plane, he planned to refrain from meeting anyone, but Yue still managed to sense him and appeared beside him not a minute after that.
"What're you up to?" Yue asked as she hugged his arm. "You feel… similar to me now, in a way. Did something change?"
"Something did, yes." Neji gave her a hug (because she was irresistible) and then proceeded to explain the situation to her. Once done, he brought her inside his Pocket Planet. He worried if she would be able to enter that place or not, at first, since she couldn't leave the Arcane Plane. But luckily, since the planet was technically inside the arcane plane, it worked.
The girls inside the Planet may pose as a distraction, so he went far from their living quarters. He kept Yue to his side though since she was quiet enough. She nudged closer to him and decided to observe him create the heaven.
Neji patted her head. "By the way, you are a God too. A Vampire God. Can you not create your own Heaven?"
"No," Yue shook her head. "I think it's that entity Luck who is behind giving you this power. Even though your quest may not have mentioned it."
"Oh," Neji blinked, looking up at the sky. "Thanks, darling luck, I appreciate it."
["Don't call me that."] Lady Luck humphed in his ears. ["...But sure."]
Cute.
Neji then focused on creating heaven. It was surprisingly easy, he just had to channel his will and imagine how he wanted the dimension to look like. In his case, it was one endless cloudy terrain. As he concentrated in his imagination, with his divinity moving altogether to make the imagination into reality, the terrain around Neji and Yue changed. Everything around them became cloudy, filled with a rich yellow cloud and as Neji focused further, creating houses and trees— he felt the dimension growing it size.
The skill, being Level-1, only allowed the planet to be 10 kilometres radius. Yet as his divinity forced the place to become bigger, growing larger than a country, it levelled up multiple times.
However, creating things on such a Highland was slowly getting harder.
Just then-
[Ding! Certain Conditions have been met! The Gamer System has unlocked the option of "Heaven Simulator"! Master can now use this option to customise his heaven in whatever way he wishes.]
Huh.
Neji opened the option and blinked as a very easy interface appeared in front of him. Upon clicking the '????️' icon, his view became that of a satellite as the entire planet's image was directly projected to his head.
He had dozens of options in front of his vision as well. Options that let him spawn items on anywhere in the cloudy planet. From magical things like the Tree of Immortality, to normal things like birds, dogs, and cats– basically, all of the wildlife that he was aware of was there. Along with inanimate objects like rocks, mountains, fountains, houses, accessories to decorate the houses and buildings, everything. Heck, it even had city models. For example, the entire Konoha before its destruction.
However, they needed to be bought. Using a currency called "Faith Points", which basically was the divinity points he earned once people prayed to him. He actually had 13 million and 300k faith points already, probably due to the prayers he got every day from the people of Arcane Plane that had been piling up on him for the last 15 years.
That much was enough. Neji went to work.
It was as easy as raising his hand in the air and waving it, making houses ripple and form out of thin air.
First, he created a replica of Konoha, except all the buildings were better and new, and a few miles away from the floating island of Konoha, he created the Garden of Eden, where a tree that carried the Fruits of Immortality stood in the middle of all the other, normal trees. Because why not? He also created a modern city another few kilometres from these two pieces of land that floated over clouds and were therefore unreachable by one another. Then he created a basic heaven, a garden that stretched up to 300 kilometres radius that was filled with beautiful, wooden houses not far from each other.
The rules here were simple. As long as the inhabitants pray to him, their basic wishes will be answered. Such as fancy food, basic sports, and a TV in their house that streamed any show Neji could think of, and more. As for how? Probably the [Heaven Simulator], somehow. In short, this really was heaven given the supply of food and entertainment both were here. Though honestly, souls living here wouldn't really need to eat or take care of their natural needs afterwards. But eh, he kept the option available. Even if they don't want to, just living here was a feeling of pleasure to the souls. He actually felt that effect on himself while tweaking with that option, and quickly decided to stop it for himself since he might get addicted.
After thinking for a moment, he destroyed the Konoha model. It would be weird for the incoming souls to live there since a few people were still alive and would leave a gap in their lifestyle. So he decided to change their lifestyle entirely. They were dead after all, a change was a must.
They would rather spend their afterlives in the basic-heaven model.
Around seven hours of work later, his heaven was done for now. His System made things far easier. The land was made of yellow clouds, with a green sky above his head where constant aurora danced beautifully. Birds flew from one tree to another and chirped beautifully for each other.
From where he stood, in the distance, a large castle flew into another island of clouds. The Palace of God. His living quarters, basically. That's why his girls were currently, and he could feel the other girls asking Hanabi to fell them just what was happening outside. When travelling the world, he planned leave his girls in that palace. Every heavenly citizen will simply stare in awe there but never step in unless he wants them to.
Now that his heaven was complete, it was time to work on creating manpower.
It was time to summon angels.
Neji did so, by using the [Angel Creation] option that came with the Heaven Simulator. This option allowed him to either create an angel manually, like a Character Creation from games, or just imagine an already existing character for their appearance to automatically load.
Upon clicking [Create], Neji felt a tremendous amount of his Mana and Divinity leave his body. Exactly 200k Mana and 5-million Divinity to be precise, as golden light left his body and the particles rapidly took the shape of a woman wearing a beautiful white dress, with black wings on her back.
An impeccable beauty, the woman had lustrous jet-black hair and the face of a goddess. She had golden irises and vertically slit pupils; on her left and right temples were two thick horns protruding crookedly, and on her waist are a pair of black angel wings.
“Mhm,” Yue, who was silent until now, chewed on her finger. “A fallen?”
“25% Dragon, 25% Succubus, and 50% Angel. That's the composition of her existence. The black wings are a side-effect of her succubus part, the horns are draconic, and her pure magic powers are from her angel part. I can apparently change my angels' race as long as they still are somewhat angelish in the end.” Neji explained to Yue and walked over to the angel and patted her cheeks. “Your name is Albedo, from now on."
The woman blinked briefly, her emotionless eyes gaining a mischievous light as she smiled flirtatiously– Neji having given her a personality to match her name.
"How may I serve you, milord?" Albedo asked, looking at him with lust-filled eyes.
“In a while, I will summon thousands of souls here. You are to take care of them. I am lending you the power to create angels, create as many as you think you may need in order to ease your job. Though I prefer you to make them both personality and powerless. Creating one with powers and personality like you is costful.”
[Albedo – Peak Tier 9]
She was strong, that’s why she took 5 million divinity points. Otherwise, 50,000 points were enough for an angel who had common sense, enough wisdom, and just did as asked.
“Yes, milord.” Albedo curtsied before turning around and focusing on her job. As she created an angel, Neji felt his Divinity points leave him. It was a basic, blonde-haired blue-eyed angel.
“I will leave now, I suppose.” Neji throughout and created a portal out of here. He gave Yue a look before turning but sighed once he saw her expression. “Sorry, I can’t take you out of here given your rank as a boss…” he blinked. “Wait, come here for a moment.”
Yue did so, running up to him and hugging him, and Neji enforced the already opened portal with [Yomotsu Hirasaka], and then used Flying Thunder God. He felt a suppressing force, but he fought it with his authority as the Dungeon Master, and in the next instant, he found himself and Yue teleported out of heaven, now standing in Konoha.
“Ah…” Yue gasped before her lips formed a huge smile. “I-I am outside!”
Neji smiled. “That you are.”
