Chapter 205: The Twelve Divine Beings' Temples and the Rise of Worship

The Twelve Divine Beings had ascended beyond mere rulers of their respective realms. Their influence now stretched far beyond the multiverse, manifesting in the hearts and minds of all who lived within it. Their power was no longer just a distant concept or celestial force—it had become a religion, deeply intertwined with the very fabric of existence. The rise of worship had swept through the realms and even into the heart of Earth.

The Temples Across Realms

Across the Earth and countless realms, temples dedicated to the Twelve Divine Beings were erected. These sacred places were not just architectural marvels but profound conduits of divine energy. Each temple was uniquely attuned to the power and presence of its respective deity, designed to channel the very essence of that being into the realm around it.

On Earth, the construction of these temples began in the heart of major cities and even in remote places where the divine energies had begun to manifest. The temples radiated with mana-rich environments, transforming the landscape around them. What were once barren lands became vibrant fields of life, teeming with lush vegetation, flowing rivers, and skies that shimmered with unnatural brilliance.

In other realms, the temples were even more awe-inspiring. Some were carved from the mountains of ancient worlds, others floating in the celestial void, suspended by divine magic. These places were not just for worship; they were places where followers could commune with the divine, feel the touch of their gods, and bask in the glow of their power.

The Surge of Followers

As the divine presence of the Twelve Beings intensified, so too did their following. Millions, billions, and even trillions of worshippers flocked to the temples. The old religions, which once dominated the spiritual landscapes of Earth and other realms, were now mere relics of the past. Their beliefs had been outgrown, eclipsed by the undeniable truth of the Twelve Divine Beings' power.

Adherents from every walk of life, from powerful monarchs to humble peasants, came together to pledge their faith. These followers came not out of fear, but out of awe and reverence for the beings who had reshaped their worlds. The divine priests of each being taught their followers to channel the energies of their gods, enabling them to wield powerful magic, perform feats of strength, and even commune directly with the gods themselves.

The mana-rich environments that began to permeate the realms were key in fueling this newfound worship. As the presence of mana became more pronounced, people found themselves becoming more attuned to the divine. Atheists, who had once rejected all notions of spirituality, now found themselves turning toward the divine. They, too, could feel the power of the Twelve Divine Beings resonating through the air. Their skeptical beliefs faded away as they were drawn into the embrace of something greater—something tangible, real, and infinitely powerful. The energy of the divine could no longer be ignored.

The Extinction of Old Religions

The old religions, with their fragmented pantheons and forgotten deities, found themselves powerless against the rise of the Twelve Divine Beings. What had once been systems of belief centered around lesser gods and mythical figures now seemed trivial in comparison to the living, breathing power of the Twelve. These old gods could not match the raw might and influence of beings who could shape worlds, control the flow of time, and command entire realms.

As the influence of the Twelve grew, the old belief systems withered. Temples dedicated to forgotten gods crumbled into ruins, abandoned by their followers. The gods of the old world, once revered as supreme, were now reduced to mere stories, fading into the annals of history. In their place, the divine temples of the Twelve Divine Beings flourished.

A New Era of Worship

This massive surge of worshippers and the widespread transformation of Earth and other realms into mana-rich environments marked the beginning of a new era—one in which the Twelve Divine Beings were not just rulers but gods in every sense of the word. Their divine power flowed through every temple, every prayer, and every person who turned their gaze toward the heavens in worship.

The age of doubt was over. The age of belief had arrived. Whether they hailed from ancient kingdoms, modern cities, or distant galaxies, the people of the multiverse now shared one common truth: the Twelve Divine Beings were the true masters of all existence. Their influence spread across all realms, rewriting the very laws of nature and reality.

With the old religions wiped from memory, the Twelve Divine Beings held the hearts and minds of all in their hands. Their reign, once thought to be a distant ideal, had now become a living, breathing reality. The world—all worlds—had been forever changed.
