Benjamin has been rescued for several days now.

I've tried all sorts of healing medicines, but none of them have been very effective.

He even went to great lengths to travel to the starship, hoping to show Guderian, a fourth-level mage, what he was capable of.

The Lord of the World must have many good things in his possession.

Whether he can recover depends on whether the ancestor has any relevant treasures.

But the greater Benjamin's hopes, the greater his disappointment.

Guderian possessed a considerable collection of treasures and numerous healing potions.

But for an injury like Benjamin's, it can't even be called an injury.

It's like all five internal organs are missing, erased!!

There wasn't even a trace of the original structure left; everything had to be rebuilt.

How to treat the injury?

If Benjamin weren't a demigod, a third-tier mage would have been dead long ago.

So he only managed to get some decent healing potions from Guderian.

It can slow the deterioration of his injury.

Benjamin's hopes for recovery rested entirely on this conquest of the Elf world.

Such a vibrant world must surely give birth to extraordinary healing artifacts.

Putting aside everything else, there's the Tree of Life, one of the three ancient trees in the Elf world.

Its heartwood is definitely good.

"But how can we get it? And at what cost?"

Benjamin was extremely worried.

If he doesn't make it to that point, he'll have to become a lich!

If we lose all human emotions and desires, can we still be considered human?

But just as Benjamin was becoming disheartened and began collecting materials to transform a lich.

Things finally took a turn for the better.

He found out about the Bronze Dragon Knight Elena through various channels.

The person who was targeted by that elf ranger later on also suffered a severe injury.

Some of their injuries were similar to his.

But now the other party has made up for what they lost.

Benjamin was overjoyed, feeling no less excited than a patient diagnosed with impotence.

The feeling of standing up again one day.

He quickly invited Elena over, and after making inquiries from various sources, he found out more.

Only then did I realize it was Ron, the chosen one of the world.

He possessed a treasure called the "Life Gem".

Although Elena didn't particularly like Ron, she was fond of Benjamin, a demigod senior from the same faction.

There was still no concealment:

"From what he said, it seems to be a newly created treasure from the advancement of the Terran world."

The world's consciousness appeared in his dream, guiding him to find it!

Benjamin found it somewhat unbelievable.

"A dream?"

"This sounds so unreliable."

"Is this how the chosen one of the world is treated?"

"Damn, thank goodness I didn't completely offend him."

Benjamin never became the Son of the World; he had only heard many strange tales about it.

So it doesn't seem so far-fetched that this happened to Ron, the Son of the World.

Benjamin decided to wait until he recovered.

Break Ryder's leg and make him apologize to Ron.

This is for Ryder's own good!

Otherwise, if you offend the Son of Heaven, he might become powerful in the future.

Is there any chance that Ryder will survive?!

Regarding Ryder's previous actions that tricked Victoria and Ron.

Benjamin had wanted to mend his relationship with Victoria before.

That's why, at the meeting, he took the lead in agreeing with Victoria that Ron was the Son of the World.

But he truly hadn't expected that Ron was actually him!

Moreover, the chosen one of this world is the chosen one of the world after the advancement of the Terran world.

It's quite different from before.

"How much did he gain?"

At this point, Elena chimed in, adding that she had heard quite a few rumors about Ron:

"I heard that even the Guardians of the World aren't as favored as Ron, the Son of Heaven!"

"The World Consciousness originally wanted to choose Ron to be the Guardian."

"He said he was too busy, so he turned it down."

"That's why Elizabeth became a Guardian; otherwise, it wouldn't have been her turn."

These rumors were naturally spread by the bards at Ron's behest.

He has put in a lot of effort behind the scenes to solidify his status as the chosen one of the world.

Furthermore, the World Guardians haven't visited the Silver Kingdom in decades.

He didn't care what Ron did.

So quite a few people actually believe this rumor.

After hearing what Elena said, Benjamin became even more convinced of his own thoughts.

We absolutely must take Ryder to apologize.

He would give up everything he owned without hesitation.

So, the first thing I did upon learning the news from Elena was...

Benjamin then sent someone to fetch Ron.

Ron also took Victoria with him to Benjamin's camp.

Although at this point, it's unlikely that anyone would be lying in ambush on Ron.

But he remained cautious and always carried the Little Garden Knights with him.

When Ron entered Benjamin's tent, the tent was filled with a strong smell of herbs and potions mixed with a faint smell of blood.

Ron saw the demigod of the Magic Empire leaning against a makeshift cot, looking as if something had been drained from his body.

His face was abnormally pale, his lips were almost bloodless, and what was most striking was the empty hole in his chest.

That hole was so big, no bandage could help.

So it was left completely exposed to the air.

This demigod, who once displayed great power in the mechanical world, now looks utterly pathetic.

"I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Sir Ron!" Benjamin said weakly, as if speaking required an extra effort.

"May you recover soon, Venerable Benjamin," Ron casually remarked.

Both of them knew the reason for this meeting.

But Ron won't speak up on his own; Benjamin has to be the one to ask for the deal.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to extort money from them.

Since Benjamin had invited Ron, he naturally knew he was bound to be extorted.

I just don't know how big Ron's appetite is.

Even if I'm being blackmailed, as long as I can save my life...

It's all worth it, no matter how much it costs.

Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated and spoke first:

"Sir Ron, I understand that you possess a Life Gem that is highly effective in healing injuries."

"Look at me like this..."

Benjamin had no lungs left, so speaking was still somewhat difficult for him, but he still managed to finish his request, albeit haltingly.

"I wonder if Sir Ron would be willing to part with it? I am willing to pay any price; whatever I have, just name your price."

Ron burst out laughing after hearing that: "Hahahaha~"

"You've heard about the World Consciousness appearing in my dreams? Oh dear, how come these things just can't be kept secret!"

"World consciousness, sigh, it's still too good to me."

"I want to do more things to make her happy, to repay the world's favoritism!"

Benjamin looked a little embarrassed after hearing this: "Who asked you that!"

But when I need something from someone, I still awkwardly smile along.

"Yes, yes, Sir Ron, your virtues have spread throughout the entire Tyrannosaurus."

"It is only right that the world's consciousness favors you."

"You are the chosen one of this world!!"

"Oh! You think so too!" Ron was quite pleased with Benjamin's flattery.

That hit the nail on the head!

And being flattered by a demigod just feels different.

I feel refreshed and invigorated all over!

Benjamin was really going all out for the red agate, saying with a righteous expression:

"Of course, your noble character has been collectively certified by our People's Federation."

I doubt even the Heart of the Stars can match you!

You are the one we all recognize as the Son of the World.

"If it were anyone else, I, Benjamin, would be the first to object!!"
