Ancient God in the Modern World

After the shrine was finished converting the natural energies into divine energy, it began transferring them to Allen, and only kept a bit for itself.

Allen could tell that the shrine had become better. Though not to a big degree, an improvement was still an improvement.

Meanwhile, the divine energy that Allen received was comparable to the total amount of divine energy that the Plague Priest's divine mark had collected.

Then, adding the divine energy that Allen received during the confrontation, Allen awakened some of the memories that he had forgotten due to the lack of divine energy.

This information is the ranking system of the followers of a divine spirit. As well as, the complete training regime.

Fighting technique and training regime are two different things. Training regime defines the path of the believer while fighting techniques enable them to fight.

The training regime of a Believer starts with the seed of faithfulness. Just like the Plague Priest and the others. Those that formed a seed of faithfulness are called Believers.

Then, little by little, the seed of faithfulness will sprout, which implies that the follower reached the next stage.

In the next stage, the follower needs to choose a path, they could become either a Knight or a Preacher.

Then, the Knight becomes a Grandknight while the Preacher becomes a Priest. After that, they will become a Saint, then an Angel.

Their level up depends on the growth of the seed of faithfulness, which will grow little by little into a miniature Divine Tree. And, by that time, they would already become an angel.

This information could help Allen as he had decided to combat the demons.

As of now, the demons may not be targeting him, but later on, they will be the hindrance towards his return to his peak.

Allen condensed some of his divine energy into three divine scrolls along with a podium for each of the scrolls.

One of the scrolls is white, which resembles his authority over Life. Then, the next one is black, which is Death. And, the last one is golden, which symbolizes glory.

The Death Scroll contains the training regime on the death side of his authority and almost all that was related to it including the fighting techniques that he remembered.

The Life Scroll contains the training regime for his authority over life and most that were related to it.

Then, lastly, the Golden Scroll will contain the achievement of his followers.

After Allen finished the three scrolls, he closed his eyes and lay on the altar.

The shrine still needs a lot of things. It was bare and empty. But, now is not yet the right time. Well, maybe when Allen no longer lacks divine energy.

Anyways, the shrine will take care of itself and Allen does not need to worry much about it.

As long as it was not destroyed, the shrine will grow little by little. It was like the other divine items, it could think for its own.

Allen sat on the edge of the altar with his foot submerged in the water. He was thinking of a way to make more followers.

With that in mind, Allen took a deep breath as he had decided to use more of his divine energy to speed up the development of the shrine.

Then, the whole shrine lit up as Allen altered and redesigned it.

He made the altar grander. Then, he created a magnificent throne at the front of the cascading waters of the waterfall.

Then the crystal pillars that he created began glowing in golden light and were no longer reflecting light from the sun, which implies that they were now serving their true purpose.

Allen did not create them on a whim. He has a purpose from the start.

The pillar will support the shrine because the shrine, as it grows, will hide itself in a separate space as a protection against the enemies of the Divine Spirit.

Again, this was part of the divine legacy of a Divine Spirit.

In truth, the only thing that Allen created in his past life is the techniques and the training regimes as well as the City of Life and some other things that Allen is yet to remember.

Speaking of which, the more Allen recovers his lost memories, the more he is confused as to what is the real purpose of the divine spirit and who gave them the divine legacy.

After the process was done, the shrine unlocked a new function, which is the Pathfinder.

Using Allen as a reference, the Pathfinder is a system that enlightens the believers of a Divine Spirit through visions.

The Pathfinder would also help the believer to choose a training regime using a vision and will guide them through a series of signs that would serve as warnings.

Right at the moment that Allen finished speeding up the development of the shrine, the Pathfinder did its work and showed the path that Elioenai and the Plague Priest could follow.

They could either follow the path of the Preacher or the path of the Knight. Then, they could also choose to side with either life or death part of Allen's Authority.

…

The plague Priest was sitting in his office and was drinking tea after a long day. But, all of a sudden, his eyes widened as he saw his surroundings change.

His office desk disappeared along with the whole Plague River Church.

He 'arrived' at an unfamiliar space. There is a waterfall and a magnificent throne on its front. Then, there was an altar that was surrounded by pillars that were glowing in golden light. The altar was surrounded by a pool of water from the cascading waters of the waterfall.

The place was beautiful, which made the Plague Priest want to take off his clothes and submerge in the water but in the next moment, he noticed that the place has a familiar aura that made him reverent.

The Plague Priest felt the aura of his Lord. Then, he realized that this place was not ordinary.

The Plague Priest did not hesitate and kneeled meekly on the floor.

Then, the Life Scroll and Death Scroll glowed.

They were part of the Pathfinder system since they contain the training regimes and the fighting techniques.

Then, the Plague Priest received a vision of what he would possibly become.

One is he could become a knight or a preacher.
