This is the original text from the Holy Scripture of the Life Divine Teachings. It was later incorporated into hymns in different versions and interpreted word by word by Popes in different eras.

But at least at the start of this meeting, the concept of Upright Gods and Middle-Level Gods had not yet been born, which was precisely the central topic of discussion for this meeting.

Although the war was won, they still had much work to do: communication and construction on various fronts, along with the academy's construction plan. Kadela proposed the concept of the Mage Tower during the meeting. They should select the top Elemental Shapers and Great Mages to become members of the Mage Tower, responsible for the management and daily maintenance of the magic network.

Kadela also proposed the ideas of "politics" and "rulership."

These were later considered the existence of Upright Gods, with each presenting their views in the meeting until the Knight Lord interrupted the discussion.

"Cynthia, what do you think?"

The Hunting Goddess had the largest number of followers, with her network of informants spread everywhere, making her very suitable for the role of liaison.

"Boring, I'm leaving. We'll meet again if fate allows."

This was an unexpected answer to everyone.

During the war, Cynthia had always been their most reliable ally, an invaluable companion.

"But, they still need us!"

The Knight Lord's voice remained firm and powerful.

"Yes, but what does that have to do with me?"

Cynthia sounded a bit impatient, "The Holy Hall was built for you, the throne was crafted for you."

Ethan sensed disbelief from the Knight Lord's blurred and distorted silhouette.

"Are you jealous? They'll build shrines and statues for you too..."

"Absolutely not."

Cynthia interrupted him, "I would rather they bring me some unseen biological specimens or write their experiences from around the world into a book. Being willing to be bound to the throne is your choice, not mine. I have already spent too much time on this war."

"But without us, they..."

The Goddess of Life interjected. Ethan had never met her, but from the voice, he surmised she should be a gentle woman.

"That's just what you all one-sidedly believe, but I'd say your existence only makes them increasingly dependent on you. But how long can such a life last? 50 years? 100 years?"

Cynthia's sudden outburst left everyone at a loss, and some glanced at McCarthy Delin, hoping he could act as a mediator.

McCarthy Delin was evidently unprepared, looking like he was forcibly put on the spot, and said reluctantly, "Cynthia, maybe they aren't as bad as you say. Haven't we previously discussed establishing an academy?"

Clearly, this persuasion did not achieve the desired effect.

Ethan always felt that Cynthia looked even more annoyed, only to see her stand up straight, "I wish your academy greater success!"

With these words, she became the first to leave the table.

Cynthia's actions elicited responses from some people.

"Yes, we don't have much time left. Sorry."

...

Some people left, some stayed.

Ethan vaguely sensed the reason Sincaro showed him this book.

"This meeting determined the division between Upright Gods and Middle-Level Gods."

As the book closed and the distorted blurred figures dissipated, Sincaro's voice rose again.

This significant meeting was not recorded in human history, nor did it align with today's evaluation of Upright Gods and Middle-Level Gods.

The mainstream viewpoint distinguishes them from Upright Gods based on the premise that there are evil followers among Middle-Level Gods. In the original context, Middle-Level Gods represented by Cynthia often left people with a negative impression.

When people talk about Cynthia, they more often mention the widely spread "role-playing" among her followers. Some Hunting Goddess followers imitated monsters and ultimately turned into monstrous beings, which has caused her much criticism.

But in fact, Pope Julius and his teacher Turzan can be described as the twin heroes of the Holy See. The damage they brought to the Empire is likely much greater than all the werewolf attack cases combined. In Ethan's observation, apart from the Neseriel Sanctuary having explicit oath-breaking punishments, other Upright God followers mostly relied on self-discipline.

The judgment of good and evil is based mainly on belief. If you truly can't believe, then there's a series of decrees issued by the Holy See to help correct your thinking.

If even that doesn't change you, then it only shows that you are innately evil and can only be tied to the stake to be burned, to purify the Empire's atmosphere.

Ethan always felt that there was something subtle about the evaluation of Middle-Level Gods and their followers.

It's filled with a sense of "If we weren't considering your past contributions in the war, we'd have to kick you over to sit with the Evil God."

The eclipse continued, and Sincaro seemed to be getting more excited.

Ethan hesitantly asked, "So, do you want to correct this atmosphere?"

"Correct? Why correct?"

Sincaro said, "Ethan, what do you think I should do?"

Having learned the truth of this world and realizing that perhaps he never truly conversed with the ancestors.

According to the content of this Memory Palace, he should stubbornly proceed down this path, finding every clue left by the ancestors, and at a critical moment, revive them to reappear in this world.

That is intimately related to the "Doomsday," an inevitable fate this world must experience.
