Chapter 976: Chapter 976: Feeble Divinities vs. Despicable Believers (Part 2)
Some weaker divinities thus fell into slumber, and some even couldn’t maintain their True Spirit, dissipating directly into the world.
Only those relatively powerful divinities could still keep their consciousness and True Spirit intact, persisting within the Pantheon, waiting for humanity’s awakening.
Karrus, as a powerful Main God, although her power was greatly diminished, would not suffer fatal wounds because of it.
She would slowly guide her Believers, rekindling the Goddess of Nature’s brilliance across the continent, and re-establishing magnificent Shrines.
Unfortunately, she hadn’t waited for her Successor and encountered a person.
Among humans, the group closest to divinities is called Oracles.
They can listen to the God’s will, responsible for spreading the divinities’ brilliance over every inch of land.
For millennia, Oracles have been the most respected people on this continent, even the Emperor of the strongest Empire was a Believer of divinities and dared not disrespect the Oracles.
But that splendor was only of the past.
In today’s gradually collapsing faith, even divinities have lost their honor, let alone the Oracles that rely on divinities.
The era when Oracles of any divinity could receive all noble treatment, and Oracles of the Main God could even influence the change of Dynasties, has ended.
Now, some Oracles, even when stating their identity, face skepticism and ridicule from others.
They don’t even believe in Gods anymore, let alone Oracles?
The younger Oracles can only listen in the night as the elders reminisce with yearning emotions about their past nobility, then face the cold reality when dawn arises.
Heddy is one such Oracle.
Or rather, she wasn’t an Oracle yet, merely someone whose physique was tested to have the potential to be one, brought to the Shrine of a Water God.
That Water God had long fallen due to exhausted strength.
Heddy agreed to become an Oracle not out of firm belief, but simply because of her poor family, with the Shrine promising her meals.
Naturally, Heddy couldn’t possibly hear any divine teachings; she merely feigned saying vague words to the few remaining faithful Believers of the Water God.
Watching those Believers sincerely trust and act upon her words, Heddy inwardly laughed at their foolishness, indifferent to the so-called divinities.
Where is there any divinity?
If divinities truly existed, how could they just watch their Believers being toyed with like this?
This thought in Heddy ceased upon hearing the call of Karrus.
A call from the soul, a summons from the Goddess of Nature.
At that time, Karrus was preparing to find a new Successor among humans, trying to summon an Oracle resonating with her using Divine Sense, coincidentally encountering Heddy.
Originally, fear gripped Heddy’s heart, afraid that this legendary Goddess of Nature would see through her thoughts.
But by that time, Karrus was already weakened, urgently needing to find a Successor to spread the divine will on the continent, having no spare time to probe her soul?
Moreover, the Goddess of Nature, Karrus, never believed that anyone on the continent could evade her faith.
She was too arrogant.
Karrus bestowed upon Heddy countless Magic and Skills, making this Oracle incredibly powerful.
Yet divinities wouldn’t know that human ambition is never satisfied.
