"I believe in the Prophet and firmly believe that he will lead us forward."
The outside world resembled the apocalypse, but the old man sat calmly on the sofa, smiling as he spoke to Augustus:
"Even if the enemy is a god, it doesn't matter."
"When I was young, I doubted his existence. I even slandered him and questioned his greatness. But now... as time goes by and I become an old man, I realize how wrong I was."
Keynes, addressing Augustus, reiterated his insistence once again:
"The Prophet has never given up on us."
Augustus: "…………"
“Sigh, you’ve said these words so many times these past few days.”
“I’m not a rigid person, but I have my own principles, and I will see things with my own eyes.”
Augustus no longer doubted the prophet, and was shocked and grateful for the prophet's actions in stopping the saint, but trust... to be honest, was still not much.
To date, the other party has not revealed their true identity and has been hiding their true nature.
This sense of mystery is irrelevant to Awakened Ones below the Legendary level, but it's somewhat unnecessary for Saints like Augustus.
Is there anything else you want to keep from us?
Having finally received a verbal promise from Augustus, Keynes blinked and then smiled:
"Then let's wait and see, the Prophet will not let us down."
"Never."
"Have faith in him, just as he has faith in us."
His usually indifferent blue eyes flickered with complex emotions, but eventually returned to calm.
Augustus finally shook his head and gave a reluctant reply:
"I'll consider it."
Having said that, the Archmage vanished in a flash before Keynes could continue his persuasion.
The deed was already done, but he still had to take charge of the overall situation.
"Uh... is it really necessary to run this fast?"
Keynes, left behind, winked with amusement and muttered to himself:
"However, this is enough."
Yes, that's enough.
...
...
The gods have returned.
This is the biggest event since the gods disappeared a thousand years ago.
When people first hear this news, they will only treat it as a joke on a variety show and won't take it to heart.
That's impossible; those are just myths and legends.
But when it actually happens, any awakened person with even a little knowledge of history will not be relaxed or careless.
That's a god!
Once, the gods resided high in the heavens, controlling the fate of all living beings.
No amount of preparation is too much.
However, contrary to what mortals, who were on high alert, imagined, the gods did not immediately fight to regain control of the heavens after announcing their return.
The methods that the gods were expected to use did not unexpectedly occur.
They do not speak with any mortals, and even their most devout followers have never had the opportunity to meet them.
"Why?"
As time went by, Augustus felt more and more uneasy.
Why are the gods so... quiet?
The Watchers are unaware, the Awakened cannot comprehend it, and ordinary people are even less aware...
Only the gods know why they did this.
Because they are...afraid.
The gods are terrified!
The moment they finally returned to the world, they sensed something was wrong!
Something's wrong with this world!
Something's not right!
!
The number of gods doesn't match up at all!
Even after excluding the gods who haven't awakened yet or are actively hiding themselves, it still doesn't feel right; too many stars have dimmed.
The number of fallen gods was far greater than they could have imagined.
Moreover, the world has become very different from what they remember.
Malice.
The divine spirit has been inspired by the malice of the world!
Unlike before, the world no longer welcomes them; instead, it is filled with crisis.
There's one more thing... The gods discovered something utterly unacceptable.
The power that once belonged to them has been stolen!
Thieves have stolen their treasure!
Unforgivable.
The world is different now.
This different world makes the gods extremely uneasy!
Before figuring out the reason, they instinctively chose to hide themselves and quietly recover their strength.
Until he regains sufficient strength to protect himself, no one, whether ally or believer, can be trusted.
The gods hid in the shadows, silently contemplating:
What exactly happened in this world?
"Why did it turn out like this!?"
...
...
Why did it stop?
"Are you referring to the reasons for no longer reducing their numbers?"
"God of War, Lord of the Dead, Lord of Beasts, Mother of Insects... Excluding four of them, and with all the gods of plague dead, let's stop here for now."
Is that enough?
"That's enough."
Da da da...
Ning Feng tapped his fingers lightly on the table, once again refining the script he had written for the actors.
There's a reason why these actors were chosen to be the first to leave the stage.
"Their rank may not be high, but their power is very troublesome and can easily cause a lot of harm to mortals."
"Only by keeping these forces in our hands can we maintain a steady control of the situation."
