These devout followers are not the reason for the realignment of the stars at all.
Ordinary mortal followers, no matter how numerous or devout, absolutely lack the power to trigger such terrifying phenomena concerning the world's origin.
Their true role is to act as precise coordinates and waypoints, using their purest and most fervent Power of Faith to construct stable faith bridges to prematurely usher in the Seven Great Gods, who were originally due to awaken from slumber a few days later.
So that Their wills and powers can descend upon this world sooner.
For each church's thousands of devout followers, their lives and faith are like the crisp and melodious bells ringing before the start of a feast, awakening those seven ancient deities sleeping deep within the river of time and inviting Them to partake in this grand feast of old.
"These devout followers have been missing for so long, why did both Elizabeth and I subconsciously overlook their existence?"
