277 The Seeds Of the Theocracy Civilization. (1/2)

While Freya had chosen a woman from the human race as her first apostle, Thalia, the Goddess of Nature and Healing had chosen a woman from the Elf race.

Aurora, the Goddess of Fire and Justice chose a human male as her first apostle while Whirl, the God of Wind chose a member of the beastmen race as his first apostle.

Both Minerva and Aether respectively known as the Goddess of War and the God of Time chose humans as their apostles whereas Sachael who was known as the God of Water and Agriculture chose a man from the Elf Race to be his first apostle.

None of them seemed to choose a member from the Orc race to be their apostles. Though the Orcs were physically stronger compared to the humans, they were still a little slow and sometimes behaved like brainless wild beasts.

Furthermore, their rate of reproduction was a hundred times slower than that of the humans which further made them less than an ideal choice.

The Celestials' decision of choosing the people from the Human race, the Elf Race, and the Beastmen Race and appointing them as their apostles were based on two criteria. The first criteria were their rate of reproduction of that race while the second one was their intelligence.

Whether it was the human race, the Elf Race, and the Beastmen Race, they each fulfilled one or both criteria while the Orcs didn't fulfill any one of them which was why they weren't chosen.

Like an irreversible and unstoppable arrow shooting rapidly across eternity, time quickly flowed by and twenty years have gone by since the seven celestials had made their appearance.

While twenty years might seem very short in the life of the celestials to the point of being negligible, it was a very long time in the eyes of the regular mortal.

Over the past twenty years, everything has returned to normal and many things have also changed.

The entire world has changed from an atheist world to a devout religious world known as Holy Septima referring to the seven Benevolent Gods that had saved it from the Evil God.

Also, the location that the seven celestials had first descended upon had become the most sacred and holy places throughout the whole world. They even built a temple in the location and each one of them was guarded by an apostle.

Every day, countless devout believers traveled from afar to pray and asked for guidance from their beloved Gods.

Furthermore, over the past twenty years, many devout followers have awakened numerous power and skills which have put them above the rest of the populace.

Through this knowledge, many of them became farmers, architects, doctors while others became Holy knights, etc.

Moreover, not only the number of humans had increased significantly over the past twenty years, but the human civilizations had also grown by leaps and bounds, which led to the creations of many towns and cities.

Soon after they entered the era of cities, the first kingdom to ever exist was established in the Central Continent known as the Volt kingdom.
