Chapter 63 - Wisps New Religion (1/2)
There were a plethora of ways to reach divinity. One could try to become an immortal first, ascending to a higher realm before trying to spread their influence through multiple realms and worlds by gathering the faiths of innumerable beings.
Usurping the owner of the existing gods' portfolios was also one of the ways to snatch their throne and become one themselves. Or they could just strive from the bottom naturally with a minor portfolio.
Deities meanwhile, were the beings that thrive through faith from the very beginning of their journey. There are two kinds of divine beings, a former mortal deification, and a natural divinity.
There were other types of subconscious energy other than faith and the one that was used for symbols pill, one of them were emotion, loneliness, and longingness.
Over time, these kinds of subconscious energy regardless of their variation would eventually attach themselves onto an materialistic object or non-materialistic concept that have their history of time upon the world they originated from.
The combination of both would result in a stronger entity, Ouroboros was a culmination of both materialistic symbols and the materialization of the strong meaning behind it.
Hence why even an old rock with enough age could gain 'sentience' with the right environment and enough life form to emit subconscious energy.
That was the current grasp of the knowledge that MF had throughout the years of her pilgrimage for wisdom and enlightenment.
”A guardian!” one of the wisps shouted. ”This land is not without an owner. I believe in the words of the kind and observant.”
”Parents? We're children?”
”I'm piqued! We need a deity for this land!”
”Comfortable light, I'll follow. The Mighty One, lend us your wisdom.”
Out of the eight wisps within the vicinity, MF began to feel a streamline of 'Faith' from five of them. Two of them possessed the highest intellect from their vocabulary.
MF reached out both of her hands to the two respective new followers with the most faith. ”Both of you, come closer.”
Without hesitation, the aforementioned pair of wisps approached as the others spectated.
Wisps are beings full of energy, spreading their nourishing influence upon the land they tread. Currently, most, if not all, were young, so MF assigned the role of a leader and teacher to the two new followers that she had chosen.
”Do not be afraid,” MF gently whispered, donning her caring smile as she closed her eyes to show that she was vulnerable and meant no harm.
The wisps were entranced as they got closer to the soothing halo of her. MF then reached her hands and placed it onto the ethereal center of those two wisps.
