Sincaro said, "I know you have many questions right now, feel free to ask me anytime."

"Can we stop this thing first?"

Ethan pointed at the red sun suspended in the sky of this world, its light gradually being consumed by darkness, forming an eclipse-like scene.

As time passed, the sky had become closer to a dark red.

This is a natural phenomenon, but in this world filled with mysticism, it brings omens of destruction and misfortune. The Holy Scripture of the Life Church has recorded several eclipse events, and almost every eclipse has brought disasters.

"No, the ritual has already begun."

Sincaro said, "This will be an unprecedented ritual, isn't this what they have always longed for?"

To witness and even embrace the arrival of a new deity.

It grants everyone an opportunity.

"You must have also witnessed it firsthand, humans are always yearning for the divine to descend, for this they tirelessly conduct deification ceremonies."

Initially, there were high-level gods and middle-level gods.

After the fall of those betrayers, some attempted to welcome new gods, but those later gods were too weak and their lifespans too brief to stir the river of time, becoming legends with no clear truth, their "divinity" unable to gain widespread recognition.

"Until your arrival, this is the outcome everyone has been waiting for. Even the royal family is willing to help you ascend the final step."

Sincaro suddenly changed the topic, "But, can they really discern the true form of 'God'?"

He expressed doubt about this.

Interestingly, "divinity" is also a term created by humans, seemingly used only to differentiate high-level gods, middle-level gods, and the newcomers, a way to protect their "authority."

This term is most widely used in the church, as if one day, they suddenly gained the power to define the divine spirits.

In Sincaro's view, when humans regarded those betrayers as divine spirits, it already said everything.

They cannot, and don't need to, differentiate properly.

They are eager for a god, whose real purpose is to extract sustenance from them.

"Some seek protection, some peace, and others power, which is why the concept of 'God's chosen' exists, isn't it? This is not a term we created."

The God's chosen are the elect closest to God in this world, they should naturally be special, so much that they often exercise divine powers in place of them.

Such beautiful and tempting privileges, even the followers of the Old Gods widely acknowledge the existence of this identity. They believe that those who pass through the rituals are definitely special beings, willingly accepting the leadership of the God's chosen.

Sincaro was pleased to see this result.

Observing humans was his hobby, despite their fragility and smallness, he could always gain insight from them.

Perhaps, this is the gift left to them by their ancestors.

"For those in need of money, a loan officer of the Imperial United Savings Bank is like a god in their eyes; for those who crave knowledge and power, the mentors of the Astrology Guild are enough to become gods in their eyes; and for those small countries ravaged by war year after year, do you know what the Imperial Military Industry means when it provides them with firearms?"

Sincaro could list many such examples.

The more Ethan listened, the more alarmed he felt. According to his earlier assumptions, if Sincaro and all the Old Gods were preset "AI," then Sincaro as an AI had clearly deviated. He not only thought about matters beyond his identity but also turned his ideas into social experiments.

The Imperial Reserve, Astrology Guild, and Imperial Military Industry are all happening right now, their presence felt across and beyond the Empire.

Could it be...

The Lofic Consortium, and Flor the Tycoon, were actually tools selected by Sincaro for conducting social experiments?

"Fulfilling others' wishes is the divine power."

Sincaro concluded from his long experiment, "By that time, even if you deny it with all your strength, they will still sing your deeds, write holy scriptures for you, erect statues in your name, make decrees to ensure everyone remembers your name, but that is not for you, it's for them."

Sincaro's voice became more and more excited, a book fell from the top of the bookshelf, controlled by an invisible force, it slowly floated in front of Ethan.

The long-dusted book opened.

This time, wind elements were not needed for translation, the light and shadows in the book eagerly emerged.

Still vague and distorted figures, gathered around a square table.

Although their appearances couldn't be discerned, all the participants' identities were known, including a few familiar figures.

The Knight Lord sat in the chairman position, flanked by the Goddess of Life and Kadela, forming a stark contrast to Cynthia, the Hunt Goddess, who appeared somewhat impatient, resting her face on her left hand, while playfully twirling her bangs with the right.

This might well be considered the most important meeting in human history.

The Elemental Shaper representative McCarthy Delin was the only "human" attending this meeting.

Their voices were ethereal, as if coming from the other end of time.

The meeting took place after the victory in war.

"The shadow of the Evil God has receded, and the grace of the high-level god has for the first time descended upon this land."
