Chapter 570 - 487
However, this was merely the ideology of some Divines.
Represented by the Dream God Laren, these Divines were adamant about keeping the Path of Divine Creation hidden, forever unknown to mortals.
"We cannot afford such indulgence. Once indulged, mortals will make demands. Should a despicable person gain power, the disasters they cause could never be rectified by a hundred righteous people.
No mortal should possess this power, not one is worthy. As long as it remains unknown to others, it might as well not exist."
This was the initial ideology of the Golden Hall towards the Path of Divine Creation, which, to this day, had garnered support from many Divines.
Facing the bet lost by the Gods, this group of Divines believed that although they couldn’t directly intervene with the mortals exploring the Path of Divine Creation, they could still stop them through indirect means.
For example, by sending out their own Chosen Ones, Prophets, High Priests, etc., to obstruct them in every possible way or, by instigating their believers to oppose and block news of the Path of Divine Creation.
Besides the aforementioned two ideologies, some Divines held a third perspective.
These Divines did not wish to completely block the Path of Divine Creation like the Dream God Laren and others, considering it unsustainable, nor did they want to actively accept its existence, which was undoubtedly permissive.
Their thoughts were far more grandiose than both sides.
"Rather than that, we should actively differentiate among mortals, granting only a small fraction the ability to access the Path of Divine Creation, while the rest serve as their subordinates, creating an insurmountable chasm between the two. In this way, not only would the authority of the Gods remain unshaken, but that small fraction of mortals would also become our Swords."
