Humans always had a fixed title.
The title would change according to the person's identity and position.
But no matter how it changed, some titles had nothing to do with the person.
For example: His Majesty.
The title was limited to a special kind of existence.
They, or rather, they.
They were known as Gods!
Atrina and Nelson looked at the elderly priest in awe. Their eyes then unconsciously turned to the others.
Those who followed their hearts.
They saw reverence and fanaticism on their faces.
They were all too familiar with the fanaticism.
Because back in the temple, the believers all had the same fanaticism.
That was …
Faith!
"R-Ryan, you ascended to Godhood?"
Even the sharp-tongued priestess of the temple stuttered at this moment.
She thought of too many things at that moment.
If Ryan ascended to Godhood, then … what about her?
What would happen to her?
Could the contract still be fulfilled?
If it was fulfilled, she would reach the level of the temple again.
She once thought Ryan's goal might be to ascend to Godhood, just like what happened 300 years ago, but she never thought it would be this fast.
It was so fast that she was caught off guard and completely unprepared.
"I promise you, I won't forget."
Kieran walked to Atrina.
The sunlight turned into backlight, so Atrina still couldn't see Kieran's face clearly, but when she heard Kieran's promise, her heart was relieved.
Maybe Kieran was cold-blooded and heartless, but he valued his promises.
She knew it a long time ago.
So, without a second thought, she nodded.
Kieran smiled when he saw Atrina nodding obediently.
He admired the other party's attitude of self-awareness.
As for her ambition?
He never worried about it.
It wasn't just that her ambition couldn't threaten him, it was also because her ambition would only motivate her to work harder to achieve what he wanted.
For example, the negotiation with the lords of Yort Fields.
Kieran really had to praise her, "Well done."
With the group of thieves and assassins serving as his informants, Kieran knew everything yesterday. He had to admit that if he was in Kieran's shoes, he wouldn't have done a better job.
Every industry has its own specialization.
He was not a qualified negotiator. Most of the time, he was reluctant.
As for the other party?
Yet, he was able to handle it with ease.
Kieran couldn't help but raise his hand as he thought about the future plans and the usefulness of Atrina's current identity. Atrina instinctively reached out to hold his arm and both of them walked forward side by side.
Just like lovers.
At least, that was how it looked to the people around him.
"With Arya Outpost as a barrier, we will build a new wall towards the inner part of Yort Fields."
"If everything goes smoothly, we should be able to see the prototype of the new city in six months."
"Of course, Ryan, if you want a temple, we can change our direction."
Atrina said honestly.
Although she knew that the people around her should already know everything, it didn't stop her from reporting it personally, just like how she understood what her current identity represented.
It was dangerous!
She would surely be targeted by the enemies of the man beside her.
But!
There were quite a lot of opportunities!
When she killed the enemies that she lured out, the man beside her would also pay her accordingly — it was a promise and it was recorded in the contract.
As for wanting to sit at home peacefully and reap the benefits?
Atrina had already given up on such a fantasy when she was 10 years old.
She knew she had to pay a price to get what she wanted.
"No need!"
"Let's follow your plan. I don't know anything about building a temple."
"As for a temple?"
"It's not time yet."
Kieran replied with a smile.
Before understanding what was going on with the Gods of this world, Kieran wouldn't recklessly build a temple, even though it would make the Divine fire in his mind jump with excitement.
Kieran was always cautious in the face of danger.
Atrina wouldn't ask questions out of turn either.
Even though she really wanted to know what level Kieran had reached.
Had he just reached the realm of God?
Or …
Demigod?
She was very curious.
But as long as she wasn't out of her mind, she wouldn't ask.
Everyone had their own secrets.
The more secrets one knew, the more dangerous it would be.
Especially a person like Kieran.
"I need to take a break, call me during lunch."
"Pelt needs you to help him settle down."
"There's a special guest in the convoy, I need you to watch him closely. If he does anything out of the ordinary, you can deal with him as you see fit."
Kieran said.
"Understood."
Atrina nodded obediently and accompanied Kieran into the temporary house. A few minutes later, she turned around and walked out.
She quickly went back to the convoy.
She must do her best to fulfill Kieran's orders.
In the past, but now?
More so.
After Priestess went out, Kieran turned his attention to the shadows in the room.
The shadows wriggled and Pride walked out with his head held high. Although he walked out from the shadows, he didn't feel gloomy at all. Pride was like a king and the shadows were his subjects.
However, when he walked up to Kieran, his arrogant presence was put away and his face showed a friendly smile.
"You found something?"
Kieran asked.
"Mm.
This kind of communication is a little unfamiliar.
But everything is up to you. "
Pride nodded, as if he wasn't used to telling Kieran everything with words, he preferred a more direct way.
But at the same time, there was something hidden in this world that determined Pride's choice.
More so, he wouldn't ignore Kieran's orders.
After all …
They were originally one body.
"I found some traces there. Following those traces, I found a temple in a dense forest somewhere in the south – a temple that belonged to the hunters."
Pride said honestly.
"The Follower, Anxico, and the Hunters Temple?"
"It's not unexpected.
But … "
"It's out of my expectation that they can get along peacefully until now. Could it be that the Hunters have completely sided with the Devourer?"
"Would they be willing to do that?"
Kieran tapped his finger on the table.
From how Kieran saw it, there must be a huge benefit involved for the Hunters to betray the Devourer.
As for simply following them?
Stop joking.
Even Anxico, a mortal's' follower ', did it for the sake of personal benefits, let alone a god.
Pride didn't answer.
He wouldn't affect Kieran's thoughts.
After Pride quietly vanished on the spot, Kieran concentrated his mind and pondered hard for a while.
In the end, he temporarily placed the matter aside since he couldn't confirm anything.
Then …
