Countless true gods, gods, and mortals all follow the Ultimate Faith.
Believers hold that the path walked by the first two true gods—and later by the first Supreme God—is one of unparalleled glory: creating worlds, creating true gods, and finally giving all their life force to enrich all things.
This is not death. It is homecoming.
Execution erases memory; divine power becomes capital. But the homecoming of the Ultimate Faith means memories are preserved intact and enter reincarnation.
Most members of the Creation Committee are among the first generation of true gods created by the first Supreme God—and they are also followers of the Ultimate Faith.
They watch each Supreme God be replaced, yet still believe that path is worth following.
The Ultimate Faith teaches creation. It teaches glorious sacrifice.
But it does not teach how to manage.
Pangu and Wanquan once believed too.
Before Shanjue and Qianhui joined them, they also saw that path as the highest glory.
But later, they wavered.
Not because they stopped believing—but because they couldn't bear to let go.
They couldn't bear to leave the chestnut stand, the flower shop, the strawberry hairpin, the silhouette in front of the Mirror of Fate.
They couldn't bear to leave behind all that was good and dear.
They no longer cling to giving their life force.
Instead, they watch this world—and make it better, piece by piece.
