Chapter 23 - Birth of faith

The class was abuzz with anticipation as Keshav entered, the atmosphere charged with curiosity and subtle tension. The students had just created their first intelligent lifeforms — now came the next step: guiding them.

Teacher came in class and said

"Today, you will choose your God's Name, your divine domain, the structure of your future Clergy, and set the rules for how you absorb faith energy."

She paused, sweeping her gaze across the class.

> "You must also learn the basic conversion rate: 10,000 units of Faith Energy equals 1 Divine Power."

> "Once you accumulate 10 Divine Power, you will be eligible to condense your Godhead and step into the ranks of Lower Gods."

Students inhaled sharply — some with excitement, others with nervousness.

The teacher continued:

> "Choose wisely. Your Domain determines your future growth path. Your God's Name defines the symbol your believers will worship. Your Clergy structure will shape the governance of your religion."

Keshav's System Interface — Updating...

[Kingdom of God Interface]

[God's Name]: Not selected yet

[Godhead]: Not condensed

[Clergy]: Not selected

[Diameter of the Kingdom of God]: 12,486 km

[Environment]: Vibrant (Seas, Continents, Ecosystem thriving)

[Number of Species]: Many (various plants, small animals, intelligent species)

[Race]: Intelligent Species: Space-adapted humanoids

[Time Flow]: 1:365 (1 day here = 365 days there)

Keshav's eyes narrowed slightly as he thought hard.

> "God of Space..."

It was the most natural choice — his entire world was aligned with space energy, and his intelligent species had adapted to it instinctively. Becoming a God of Space would reinforce his influence over his creation perfectly.

His fingers moved.

[God's Name]: Voidwalker Sovereign (he considered a few names and settled on this one — mysterious and grand)

[Clergy]: The Star Priests (he envisioned a clergy based around astronomers, explorers, and space-seekers among his people)

As soon as he confirmed, the System responded:

> [God's Name Registered: Voidwalker Sovereign]

[Clergy Established: The Star Priests]

The [Kingdom of God Interface] updated again, glowing with faint divine light.

Keshav took a deep breath. A strange feeling bubbled in his chest — a sense of power, ownership, and destiny.

> "This is only the beginning," he thought.

Meanwhile, in the System Core…

The System silently recorded everything.

It had already scanned thousands of divine templates, thousands of sect structures, and faith energy management systems.

In the background, it continued processing — simulations, optimization pathways, and the best strategies for maximizing Faith Energy yield.

> " Keshav's path is established. Faith accumulation efficiency optimization: underway."

Teacher said "Now that you had decided on all that's needed to be decided, its time for next step."

She waved a hand, and the classroom dimmed as a massive holographic globe of an early tribal civilization flickered to life above them.

"You've given your species life," she began. "Now, you must give them purpose."

A pause.

"Today's lesson is about initiating the Tribal Age — the birth of culture, order, and belief. Your intelligent lifeforms must form bonds, hunt, gather, discover fire, build shelters — and most importantly: begin to revere you as gods."

Whispers broke out among the students.

The teacher continued, unfazed. "To help with this, you will access the Creation Website and select one Technique — magical, martial, or cultivation-based — suited to your world's nature and species. This will be your 'miracle' — your gift of divine knowledge. Use it wisely."

Holographic interfaces appeared in front of each student, linking directly to the Creation Website, now filtered by their world parameters and species adaptability.

"You must descend into your world — not physically — but with divine projection. Use this moment to establish faith. Perform the technique, let them witness your power, then pass it to a chosen believer."

"Their belief in you is the first step in forming a Divine System — a foundation for future godhood."

A student raised their hand. "Can we introduce multiple techniques?"

The teacher shook her head. "Not yet. At this stage, multiple systems will divide your people's focus. You are still weak gods. Let them unify first. Power comes from structure."

Keshav, hearing all this, felt the weight of the moment settle in. He opened his Creation Website panel and began browsing techniques suited for his space-energy-adapted species — guided by filters and options, while the system silently scanned and stored every blueprint in its growing database.

Keshav scrolled through the vast selection of techniques, filtering them by compatibility with space energy and intelligence level of his newly created species. His eyes flicked past dozens of powerful-sounding arts — Void Step, Celestial Orbit Flow, Graviton Pulse Arts — until one caught his attention:

[Stellar Vein Scripture]

A foundational cultivation technique that allows users to sense and manipulate spatial nodes within their environment. Strengthens body through space compression and unlocks minor teleportation in advanced stages.

It was elegant, thematic, and most importantly — suitable for tribal-level comprehension with divine guidance.

> "Terminal, select [Stellar Vein Scripture]."

> Selection confirmed. Technique downloaded. Divine Projection initializing…

He closed his eyes and focused.

In Keshav's World...

A sudden pulse of divine energy washed over the primitive forest village. The intelligent species — tall, violet-skinned beings with faint shimmering auras — froze. Elders dropped their stone tools. Children stopped mid-play. Hunters returned from the forest, weapons trembling in hand.

A figure of light appeared above the central clearing — Keshav's divine avatar.

A glowing sphere of compressed space floated in his palm. In a booming voice that echoed through the minds of every living being, he spoke:

> "You are chosen."

> "This is my gift — the path of stars and space."

He performed a simple spatial ripple, folding a small section of the world inward. The sky shimmered. A large rock vanished and reappeared twenty meters away. Gasps echoed through the forest. Awe filled their eyes.

A scroll of light descended from the heavens, landing in front of the tribal chieftain — who dropped to his knees and pressed his forehead to the ground.

> "We… We worship the Voidwalker Sovereign…"

Thus, faith was born.
