The higher-ups who knew about Cana's ascension to godhood have remained silent.

They neither publicized it nor explained it within the Night's Watch.

However, they underestimated the impact and power of Kanah's ascension to godhood.

Even before Cana became a god, many within the Night's Watch firmly believed in his identity as the "savior."

Their feelings for Kana have long since evolved from initial admiration and respect to a level of faith.

After Kanah became a god, these believers quickly noticed something amiss.

Because in a belief system, believers offer their faith to deities, and the deities' power, in turn, gives back to the believers; this connection is the foundation of the power of faith.

If Kana had become a god through faith, he might have been able to control or sever that connection of faith. But the problem is that he did not become a god through faith, so the power of faith is like a chicken bone to him.

And so, faith began to operate on its own according to the usual pattern.

Even though the power of faith is stored in the Six Dragon Spear, it does not affect its target being Kana.

Therefore, those believers truly felt the change in the leader and realized that the leader seemed to stand at the top of the spiritual world.

Although they did not fully understand what this change meant, they spontaneously formed a cult-like group within the Night's Watch.

On the surface, this group's ideals are not much different from those of the Night's Watch; it's just that the members have disagreements with their colleagues on ideology.

They worshipped Kana as a savior and a god, and regarded the badge representing Kana as divine radiance, carrying it close to their bodies.

One of the most fanatical even began to write chapters about Karna's godhood and various doctrines based on the Night's Watch's historical records.

He moved among the Night's Watchmen who knew Cana, talking to them, asking Cana what he had said, and then rewriting those words after embellishing them.

In other words, he has already begun compiling the scripture.

Kana, who had already noticed all of this, did not stop it.

Because in his view, there was nothing wrong with it.

Regardless of how one becomes a god, it is inevitable that this will trigger a surge of faith.

Moreover, it's perfectly normal for Kana to have his own organization, and for its members to become his followers.

In this world where gods truly exist, faith is no longer the feudal superstition of the past.

Forcing believers to deny their own divinity when they themselves are gods is a pointless act of self-deception.

Moreover, the scriptures written by these followers of Cana are highly consistent with the core ideas and code of conduct of the Night's Watch.

As their faith deepened, these believers became increasingly resolute and gradually gained some attribute bonuses from the Six Dragon Spear.

In other words, they became stronger and more mentally resilient. While dedicating themselves to saving the world, they also incidentally acquired their own gods.

"So what should we do now? Should we restrict their development, or reveal your identity?"

Alysse stood beside Kana and asked.

This is indeed a problem that urgently needs to be solved.

After a moment's thought, Kana waved his hand.

"Let them be. Restrictions are useless, and besides, they haven't done anything outrageous."

"Let them spread freely, but there's no need to provide any special assistance. The number of believers we have now is sufficient."

After all, he still needs at least six thousand strong believers to form his Six Dragon Lance Knights.

……

The fact that Cana became a god did not cause a great stir.

The Night's Watch's important plans continue to proceed in an orderly manner.

It is evident that people around the world are making oaths, and most of these oaths are high-ranking officials from various countries.

However, making a vow does not come without a price.

For example, in a noble circle of a certain country, several nobles made an oath, then spontaneously combusted on the spot, turning into ashes, and finally even the ashes were absorbed by a mysterious force and disappeared without a trace.

Subsequently, the Night Watchmen launched an investigation at the Adventurers' Guild's stronghold in the city. It turned out that these nobles had secretly worshipped an evil god and participated in sacrificial rituals.

To dare to make an oath under such circumstances is simply courting death.

In other places, there have been cases of nobles dying mysteriously shortly after making vows.

The reason is that they violated the provisions of their oath.

It's important to understand that the oath goes beyond simply promising to save the world; it also includes not harming the world's vulnerable populations and not actively endangering or killing life.

In this world, there is no shortage of greedy and selfish nobles.

They were turned to ashes on the spot for breaking their oath, and their energy was recycled by the world.

After this incident, no nobleman dared to make oaths lightly for the sake of data power.

For them, doing so would be a losing proposition.

This is exactly the situation that Canna wanted to see.

Northfield Kingdom, White Mountain Town.

This place once served as a Night's Watch outpost.

After the Night's Watch left, the taverns in the town barely managed to stay afloat.

But recently, the town's residents discovered that the tavern had been renovated, and it was now larger than before, with an additional floor added.

In addition to the tavern itself, some new auxiliary buildings have been constructed next to it.

They even bought two houses in the vicinity.

Such a commotion is quite rare for this quiet town.

The people in the town are paying close attention to this change.

When the tavern reopened, it was completely transformed.

The sign reads "Adventurers' Guild - Outpost".

"What does this mean? What kind of organization is this, or is it some kind of tavern name?"

An old drunkard asked with a puzzled look on his face; the combination of these words left him somewhat confused.

"How would I know? Anyway, I'm sure I can still drink. I can smell the alcohol."

"As long as they can drink alcohol."

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!"

However, the tavern's layout was different from what they had imagined. These non-adventure drinkers could only go to a separate, off-the-beaten-path area to drink.

They didn't seem to care about that.

The young people in the town seemed to know more about this change. Many of them knew from childhood that the tavern had once been the Night's Watch's stronghold, and that many had received help from the Night's Watch there.

For example, Kurta came to the association's base and met a long-lost acquaintance.

"Grandpa Batel! You're back!"

The old man, known as Batel, turned around. He was blind in one eye and his face was covered with scars.

He was slightly taken aback when he saw Kurta.

"It's you! You've grown so much!"

"Yes, it's been almost four years since you left here."

"Has it really been that long?"

"Grandpa Batel, how did this place change like this? What new changes have you noticed since you came back?"

The boy asked, full of curiosity. (End of Chapter)
