Chapter 278: The Evolution of Systems and the Rise of Worship
---
1. The Gift of Creation Systems
Sung Jin-Woo, in his boundless generosity and wisdom, granted his subjects—the Sung Clan, Apostles of God, Heavenly Soldiers, Dark Apostles, Dark Heavenly Soldiers, Shadowkins, Dragonkins, Shadow Lords, Fiery Dragon Lords, and his Centillions of Centillions of Materialized Shadow Soldiers—the ability to create unique systems of their own.
Purpose of the Systems:
These systems were designed to guide their followers, worshippers, and priests in unlocking their full potential.
By following these systems, mortals could ascend beyond their natural limitations and achieve extraordinary power.
Framework:
Each system was a reflection of its creator's essence, granting abilities, challenges, and rewards aligned with their domains.
The systems were integrated into Sung Jin-Woo's overarching divine order, ensuring harmony and balance across the multiverse.

2. The Emergence of Worship
As the systems spread, mortals across the multiverse became aware of the immortals who had become creators. This revelation gave rise to widespread worship:
Choice of Deity:
Mortals chose to worship immortals based on their nature and the benefits their systems offered.
Some pledged loyalty to the Apostles of God, drawn by their purity and light.
Others revered the Dark Apostles, fascinated by their mastery of shadow and power.
Even the Materialized Shadow Soldiers found worshippers who admired their resilience and tenacity.
A Clear Distinction:
Immortals Who Were Creators:
These were Sung Jin-Woo's subjects, each holding immense power, beginning at S⁹⁹-Rank and ascending far beyond.
They wielded the ability to create systems, realms, and followers of their own.
Immortals Who Were Non-Creators:
These were worshippers or followers who had risen to S⁹ to S²⁰-Rank, achieving great power but lacking the ability to create or guide others.

3. The Nature of the Systems
Each immortal creator designed a system tailored to their philosophy and domain:
Apostles of God:
Their systems emphasized enlightenment, spiritual growth, and the pursuit of divine perfection.
Followers were trained in disciplines of light, healing, and harmony.
Dark Apostles:
Their systems focused on mastering the shadows, overcoming fear, and wielding destructive yet controlled power.
Followers learned stealth, manipulation, and resilience.
Heavenly Soldiers and Shadowkins:
Their systems cultivated warriors and strategists, emphasizing discipline, loyalty, and martial prowess.
Followers gained physical strength and mental fortitude.
Dragonkins and Fiery Dragon Lords:
Their systems inspired dominion over nature, unyielding willpower, and the spirit of conquest.
Followers were taught to harness draconic energy and elemental power.
Materialized Shadow Soldiers:
Their systems valued perseverance, adaptability, and the art of survival.
Followers gained skills in endurance and strategic thinking.

4. The Rise of Worshippers and Priests
As these systems flourished, entire civilizations arose, dedicated to the worship of their chosen immortals:
Worshippers:
Ordinary mortals who aligned their lives with the teachings of an immortal.
They sought guidance, blessings, and the chance to ascend.
Priests:
Mortals who became intermediaries between the immortal creators and their followers.
They were granted special powers through their connection to the system.
Holy Orders and Temples:
Followers built grand temples and formed orders to honor their chosen immortal.
These institutions became centers of learning, worship, and power.

5. Balancing Power and Responsibility
Sung Jin-Woo ensured that the rise of worship and systems did not disrupt the balance of the multiverse:
Divine Oversight:
He closely monitored the actions of his subjects and their systems, intervening if necessary to maintain harmony.
Any misuse of power by the immortals or their systems was swiftly corrected.
Unity Among Creators:
Sung Jin-Woo's subjects, despite their individuality, remained united under his leadership.
They worked together to advance his divine plan while nurturing their followers.

6. A New Era of Ascension
This evolution marked the dawn of a new era in the multiverse:
Mortal Ascension:
Through the systems, countless mortals ascended to power levels unimaginable before, becoming legends in their own right.
Some even achieved immortality, joining the ranks of the non-creator immortals.
Expanding Influence:
The immortals who were creators extended their influence across realms, shaping the multiverse in Sung Jin-Woo's image.
