Chapter 977: Chapter 977: Weakened Divinity vs. Despicable Believer (Part 3)
Heddy grew increasingly powerful, gaining enough prestige and status among the mortal realm.
Yet her ambitions also grew.
She began to feel dissatisfied with the current state of affairs: clearly, it was she who spread the gospel of the Gods, she who resolved the doubts of the believers, she who inherited the faith of the Goddess of Nature.
But in everyone’s eyes, there was only one Goddess of Nature!
The vast majority of the Power of Faith from believers surged into the bodies of the Gods, while the Oracle could only obtain a very small portion.
But even this tiny portion brought Heddy considerable benefits.
Heddy’s strength had increased greatly, yet she wasn’t satisfied: from such a small portion of power alone, she had grown so much stronger; what if she could gain more Power of Faith?
Wouldn’t she become even more formidable?
Yet the amount of Power of Faith an Oracle could obtain was always limited; only the divinities could truly reap the maximum benefits.
If Heddy wanted to advance further...
A terrifying thought began to flash through her mind.
It lasted merely an instant.
Heddy didn’t even dare to contemplate it a second time, because divinities could read the thoughts lingering in the minds of their believers at any moment.
Even if the Goddess of Nature was weakened, she was not someone an Oracle could contend with.
But Heddy overthought it; the Goddess of Nature had no time to examine her thoughts and had never doubted human faith.
Karrus’ impression of humans still dwelled in the era when faith in the Main God was strongest. At that time, even if a God commanded a believer to die immediately, they wouldn’t flinch.
Heddy’s ambition, fueled by the continuous growth of her own strength and Karrus’ indulgence, swelled without limit.
Finally, one day, Heddy committed the greatest transgression under heaven - among the divine hierarchy, she became a Godslayer.
By the time someone realized something was amiss, everything was settled.
The Goddess of Nature, Karrus, who had presided over the Pantheon for hundreds of thousands of years, fell, and the new inheritor of the Natural Divine Power, the Goddess of Nature Heddy, was born.
The continent’s people would never know what happened.
Heddy, who became a divinity, had thoughts entirely different from those born divine.
She knew that waiting for humans to awaken on their own was impossible.
Any human who dared to offend the Domain of the Goddess of Nature would face unforgiving divine retribution.
However, in this situation, the reputation of the Goddess of Nature spread even further.
More and more humans became devotees of this powerful goddess, her strength amassed continuously, until one day, she overshadowed the other four Main Gods and became the sole Supreme God of the Pantheon.
Millennia later, everyone worshiped their one and only Supreme God, Heddy.
No one knew that for hundreds of thousands of years, it was Karrus, the Goddess of Nature, who had quietly safeguarded them.
Gu Shengyin silently organized the storyline in her mind, feeling rather speechless.
She asked, "System, are the Gods of this world all unworldly beings?"
After reading the plot, that Goddess of Nature, Karrus, seemed just like an aloof, naive goddess with a high-and-mighty demeanor.
Given the vast difference in strength between her and Heddy, clearly, if she had just been a bit wary, she could have crushed Heddy with a flick of her hand, yet this truly aloof but naive "fake" goddess played her cards into such a pitiful situation.
The system paused in mysterious silence, as if organizing words: "Karrus wasn’t foolish, she was simply overly confident in her own faith."
Divinities who lived through the era of strongest belief hardly ever doubted the purity of faith.
