Strictly speaking, He isn’t a True God of Faith either, but exists similarly to an ancient god, merely deified through inheritance like Eve.

The war in the Underworld is going smoothly, and on the other hand, in the southern part of the Holy Maniya Empire, as demigod Kai Leici and large player guilds joined the battle, the demons entrenched in the Southern Territory began to retreat step by step...

The once-lost territories were recovered bit by bit; however, the pollution of the abyss has left permanent scars.

And this will take time to purify.

If everything goes well, in another month, players can break through the strongholds the demons have built, and the demons entrenched in the Segis Continent can be completely annihilated.

As for beyond the Segis World, the Silent Annihilation Wilderness, which has become one of the player training grounds, has also been mostly cleared of demons.

Perhaps soon, Eve can intervene and fish out the entire plane from the abyss.

Eve still looks forward to this.

Although He gained considerable knowledge in the inheritance about salvaging planes from the abyss, He hasn’t done it yet.

Before sinking into the abyss, the Silent Annihilation Wilderness should also have been a pretty good Main Material Plane, still having certain potential.

If the path to elevation to greatness is really as Eve speculates, by first merging the Segis World as the foundational plane, then incorporating plane after plane, then the Silent Annihilation Wilderness is also a good choice among them...

In short, after Eve revealed his identity, His power ushered in a new rapid development again, and the balance of power between different forces in the Segis World is changing at an astonishing speed.

Meanwhile, Eve has become busy again.

Because He welcomed another wave of mythic visits.

Among them, most were independent ancient gods and True Gods of Faith.

Including the Dwarves and the God of Forging, Dorfte, who also came to visit.

Moreover, he descended in person, and in his words seemed closer to Eve.

For these visitors, Eve naturally received them warmly.

He had no interest conflicts with them, at most His plan to merge the Segis World might affect some mythological interests.

However, as a mighty divine power, planning to ascend to greatness, these conflicts can all be mediated.

The Segis Universe is no longer the Segis Universe of a thousand years ago; the believers of the myths are no longer dependent on the Segis Plane for faith.

In this era, which True God doesn’t have a plane or half-plane as a backyard of faith?

And if there really is any resistance, Eve would just have to confront it.

However, as a mighty divine power, apart from the Pantheon of belief gods, no one else would dare confront...

Not to mention, when Eve’s secret fusion with the source completes, the done deeds cannot be undone.

Honestly, such behavior may seem a bit sly, but it’s also Eve’s only choice.

To oppose the Eternal Lord, to compete for the seat of mighty divine power, merging the Segis World is necessary for Eve.

To prevent Yiteo, who manages the Pantheon, from stopping Him, this matter must proceed in secret.

To those myths affected by this, Eve can only say sorry.

After all, make up for it later.

Even if He merges with the Segis World, according to Eve’s calculations, it would be equivalent to "swallowing" the Segis Plane, making it part of Him.

As long as other myths obtain Eve’s permission, they can still enter, live, or even preach within.

Of course, by then, it’ll surely depend on Eve’s favor.

Eve, while continually receiving visiting myths, continues to secretly merge the essence of the Segis World.

At the same time, He hasn’t relaxed surveillance over the Human Kingdom.

The Eternal Church is restless, making moves; a war probably isn’t far off.

Yet Eve doesn’t plan to be the one to provoke war.

Time is on His side; as magic power returns, problems within the Human Kingdom are becoming more exposed, and social contradictions more acute.

Conversely, the longer it drags on, the stronger Eve’s forces become, the bigger the influence grows, and players expand like a snowball, unifying the Segis Continent becomes ever easier...

This is the trend.

This trend began the moment Eve called upon players, spread faith.

Obviously, throughout this process, Eve hasn’t forgotten to stoke the fire in the Human Kingdom...

...

Fengyue Free Territory, capital Zelolan.

In front of the Life Temple, where the number of believers is increasingly growing, a figure donned in a simple white robe, wearing a badge shaped like a Life Scepter and holding a "Life Scripture," slowly walked out of the temple.

It was none other than Old John, who had taken the suggestion from Demacia, coming from Luck City to the Fengyue Free Territory.

After so many days, he had embraced the belief of the Life Church, transforming into a true life believer.

If someone were to view his faith with the eye of belief, they’d be surprised to find that he had grown from a non-believer to a fervent zealot!

That intense light of faith was something even elves would view with respect.

Only those who have experienced misfortune understand how hard-won happiness is.

Only after seeing the decay of the Human Kingdom and witnessing the Eternal Church’s corruption do they realize how bright and vibrant the Life Church is...

"John, have you really decided? Aren’t you going to stay in Zelolan? I’ve heard you’ve obtained the token from the Amway Chamber of Commerce, and now you’ve awakened the NPC system; if you joined the chamber, you could become a high-level deacon!"

"Do you know what a high-level deacon is? At the Amway Chamber of Commerce, even if you do nothing but hand out tasks to the Chosen Ones, you can earn fifty gold pounds a month!"

"Damn, that’s fifty gold pounds! I can’t earn that much in a year!"

Jason, the guard, excitedly said before Old John.

However, after hearing his old friend’s words, Old John shook his head, saying fervently:

"No, I’ve made up my mind to return to the Empire to spread the faith of Her Majesty the Goddess..."

"Are you crazy?! It’s a total mess there now! And you’re not a professional!"

Jason shook his head.

"But... someone has to do this."

Old John said solemnly.

His expression bore a touch of sanctity:

"The civilians of the empire are still struggling in dire conditions, with no future, no hope, they need someone to bring hope..."

"I have witnessed too much misfortune, the people need awakening, the people need new faith, and I... am willing to be the torch that lights the hope."

After hearing Old John’s words, Jason opened his mouth but was at a loss for words.

Looking at his old friend who seemed to have turned into a different person, his eyes were very complex:

"John... you’ve changed."

"Of course, I now understand what you said before, the Life Church truly is the hope for the future, and the development of Fengyue Free Territory has proven everything."

Old John said solemnly.

At that moment, a gentle voice came from behind him:

"Are you ready? Lord John."

It was none other than Caesar, one of the high-level players who had become the High Priest.

Additionally, it was he, coincidentally in Zelolan on a mission, who imparted the Goddess’ faith to Old John, who regarded him as a mentor.

"Of course, Lord Caesar, I have resolved to devote the rest of my life to Her Majesty the Goddess, to the Life Church."

Old John respectfully bowed to him.

Caesar smiled slightly, a flash of light in his hand, revealing a set of Life Priest Robes:

"May the Goddess bless you, may life and nature be with you! Lord John, you are now one of us."

Upon seeing the priest robes, Old John’s expression instantly became excited.

With both hands, he reverently accepted them, saying excitedly:

"Thank you for your trust! Lord Caesar, I swear here, I will spread the faith of Her Majesty the Goddess to every corner of the Empire!"

As his words fell, a golden light blossomed upon him, and a majestic sacred aura slowly descended.

That was the Goddess’ Divine Favor.
