I Reborn as a God Within a Statue, And You Ask Me to Enslave All Gods?-Chapter 63 --The Birth of a B-Class Devotee

To the villagers, the descent of Deus Initium signified that He was watching over them. This was the perfect moment for them to offer their most devout prayers, believing their pleas would be heard.

Under their astonished gazes, the two Earthsplit Scrolls transformed into flowing light and struck the mountains at the front and back of the village.

These two peaks, though not particularly tall, were steep and covered in stubborn rocks, making travel difficult for the people of Annasi. They had attempted to carve out paths before, but the sheer amount of rock made the process grueling. Each attempt left the village’s able-bodied men utterly exhausted, forcing them to rest for days.

However, now—at the very moment the Earthsplit Scrolls struck the mountains—the land trembled as if an unimaginable force had pressed down upon it. Then, with a deafening roar, the peaks crumbled into rubble!

What was even more astonishing was that, under the residual power of the Earthsplit Scrolls, the debris was pulverized into fine dust, forming a vast, flat plain.

The shattered mountain rocks and crushed vegetation mixed together, leaving the land looking unexpectedly fertile. Under the light, it gleamed with a rich, moist sheen.

As the two peaks collapsed, Thomas and the others, who had already noticed the commotion, stood frozen in shock.

"The mountains!"

"Those two mountains were just... flattened?"

They rubbed their eyes in disbelief.

These mountains had not only stood in reality but also in their hearts.

Yet now, Deus Initium had effortlessly leveled them!

"Praise Deus Initium! Praise Deus Initium!"

After a brief moment of stunned silence, Thomas and the others fell to their knees before the statue of Deus Initium, their hands clasped together in reverence.

The space that had once been occupied by mountains was now larger than their entire original settlement. Moreover, the newly exposed land was clearly fertile—perfect for farming. With this, the food crisis caused by the village’s rapid population growth could finally be resolved.

The ability to alter the landscape so easily—this was undoubtedly the power of divine points!

With the new farmlands granted by Deus Initium, the village could sustain even double its current population!

More importantly, this was fresh, nutrient-rich soil. It required no clearing, no plowing—it was ready for planting immediately.

As the villagers’ excitement grew, they suddenly noticed another scroll emerging from the temple, drifting down next to the previously existing Lv2 Rich Soil.

The moment the scroll merged with the earth, another Lv2 Rich Soil was born before their very eyes!

Vast and pure elemental energy surged through it, like a gathering point for mystical forces, continuously drawing in elements from the world around it. The elemental power contained within the soil became increasingly concentrated.

"Rich Soil! Another Lv2 Rich Soil!"

The villagers’ expressions were filled with elation.

By now, they fully understood what Lv2 Rich Soil meant for their community.

With Rich Soil and mystical herbs enhancing them, they could continuously raise the ranks and combat power of their awakeners.

The village of Annasi was on the brink of an unprecedented golden age!

They would not be a fleeting legend, doomed to fade into history.

"Deus Initium is truly benevolent to us!"

Thomas and the others felt their gratitude deepening.

At that moment, more scrolls radiated dazzling light as they flew from the temple, merging into the bodies of the village’s awakeners.

In an instant, eighty young awakeners were blessed by Deus Initium.

Many of those who had only been Tier-1 awakeners were instantly elevated to Tier-2 under the boost of the divine points within the scrolls, experiencing a qualitative leap in strength.

Meanwhile, Frank and others, who had already advanced to Tier-2, reached the peak of Tier-2 under the power of the Mid Awakening Scroll, leaving them just one step away from Tier-3.

As for the most intense burst of divine light, it flowed directly into the body of Village Chief John.

John had already been a Tier-3 peak awakener.

Now, enveloped in the brilliant radiance of the scroll, an overwhelming surge of elemental energy erupted within him.

His rank surged to Tier-4 beginner!

"Tier-4 awakener... I actually became a Tier-4 awakener!"

Feeling the boundless power coursing through his body, John could hardly believe his eyes.

Tier-4 awakeners were considered elite figures even within Black Iron.

This had once been the ultimate dream of his life. Before becoming a devotee of Deus Initium, he had believed it was an impossible goal.

But now, with Deus Initium’s aid, the dream he once thought out of reach had become a reality!

In his past, he had tried countless secret techniques, believing that as long as he was ruthless enough, he could reach his goal.

But now he realized—he had been doing it all wrong.

There was no need for convoluted methods. To ascend in power, one only needed absolute devotion to Deus Initium!

In fact, unwavering faith in Deus Initium was the only true path!

As his advancement stabilized at Tier-4 beginner, an immense aura radiated from him, spreading in all directions.

The villagers nearby felt an overwhelming pressure and instinctively stepped back, their faces filled with astonishment.

Half a year ago, Village Chief John had barely managed to reach Tier-3 mid.

But now, after multiple blessings from Deus Initium, he had ascended to Tier-4, becoming an elite warrior.

Even though many had personally witnessed John’s transformation, they still found it hard to believe.

Under their stunned gazes, John—his heart filled with overwhelming gratitude—fell to his knees before the statue of Deus Initium, kowtowing repeatedly in reverence.

Tears of joy streamed down his face.

Tier-4!

He had finally reached Tier-4 awakener, the goal he had pursued for so long!

"Great Deus Initium, we sing Your praises! We honor You!"

His voice, full of sincerity and fervor, ignited the same devotion in the villagers’ hearts.

Thomas, standing beside John, finally snapped out of his daze.

He had anticipated that Deus Initium might descend and grant them blessings during this great ritual. But he had never expected that John would advance to Tier-4 awakener!

A Tier-4 awakener was the backbone of any major force within Black Iron!

Previously, Thomas had been the village’s sole Tier-4, but now, with John joining him—and with many more advancing to Tier-1, Tier-2, and even Tier-3—the combat power of Annasi had increased several times over!

"Thank You, Deus Initium! The people of Annasi will never forget Your grace!"

John, Thomas, and the others bowed deeply before the divine statue.

The rest of Annasi’s villagers followed, raising their voices in a deafening chorus of devotion that soared into the sky.

Though many of them had not yet received a blessing, they could see that absolute faith in Deus Initium would eventually grant them power.

They all longed to be next.

A dream burned in every heart—the chance to rise from ordinary life and become an awakener, forever changing their fate and that of their families.

Their devotion intensified, their prayers more fervent than ever.

Meanwhile, in the Divine Space, Owen observed the growing faith of the villagers with deep satisfaction.

The grand ritual of Annasi had brought him an immense influx of divine points, and the villagers’ devotion had reached new heights—a truly bountiful harvest!

Just as he was about to examine the changes in their faith, a sudden surge of powerful energy swept across his senses.

At the same time, a particularly potent faith surged toward him!

"A B-Class devotee!"

"Tommy’s faith has reached B-Class!"

Owen was taken aback.

He had expected Thomas or John to be the first to ascend to B-Class devotee status.

But unexpectedly, Tommy had surpassed them all!
