Only by having numerous at least devout believers, preferably zealots, true believers, with an extreme "faith" in their own god, can the small world ascend in dimension.
A little by little ascend from the edge of the world to the material world, similar to a Transcendent ascending from the fallen beastly side to the orderly divine aspect, ultimately becoming a true Divine Kingdom.
Like the Inti, who was a Pseudo-God a millennium ago, why did it dawdle for so many years? Yet within a year of the divine system supplementing underworld authority, it took a crucial step?
Byron couldn't think of it before, but now standing on the same level without a gap in quality, he instantly understands.
Whether it's the promotion of the Transcendent, the Blood of Transformation, the Panacea, the Philosopher's Stone... none could do without the "variable" of humans.
The more souls of believers transformed into Kin, the more devout, the quicker this process!
