Although he could do as he pleased and directly bestow Blessing upon Mumei and Ayame.
However, according to his three conditions for bestowing 'Blessing', none of them met the criteria.
First, possessing the wish and belief to fight for all good things throughout one's life.
Second, having a kind heart and talent that could potentially lead to becoming a God.
Third, having a shining quality that makes him personally take notice, such as an outstanding personality or a face that appeals to his preferences, making him unable to resist (like Saya Takagi).
Although Mumei is the female protagonist, she lacks a unique shining quality as a female protagonist.
"So, it's better for them to first become the shrine maidens stationed at this world's shrine, and then ascend to the Celestial Realm after their good deeds reach a certain level."
The shrine maidens and priests he appoints to be stationed at the shrine will be able to enter the Celestial Realm as 'Celestial Maidens' in a non-divine form once their good deeds are sufficient.
Entering the Celestial Realm through good deeds would be recognized by everyone, both in terms of emotion and reason.
The rules of the Gods must still exist, even the most chaotic Greek Gods must abide by their rules.
At this moment, they still did not know that immense good fortune was about to descend upon them.
Xianjin Station was currently holding a three-day celebration.
Not only Xianjin Station, but the entire world designated the day of God's descent as God's Arrival Day, and the day Kabane completely disappeared as the New World Welcome Festival.
And the heroes who vanquished the Kabane, as well as the divine envoys who descended from the heavens to save the world, were given the most enthusiastic reception.
After the people prayed to Xia Wei, all the wine and food were brought out for the three-day festival.
Because they would later have the ability to accelerate food growth, people did not hoard food.
Those who had fought alongside the two divine envoys enthusiastically offered wine, while ordinary people only dared to watch from afar with fervent gazes.
"Alright, alright—that's enough, hiccup~" Sanemi Shinazugawa smiled slightly, his hand on Purgatory Anjuro's shoulder: "Kyojuro, I lost consciousness back then. Can you tell me again what I did? How did I defeat that thing?"
Purgatory Anjuro put down his wine glass. Although he couldn't drink all the wine offered to him, he planned to take it all back. This was everyone's kind intention, and it absolutely could not be wasted.
"Hmm, Sanemi was very powerful then. He almost single-handedly defeated that monster."
"Yes, yes, we all saw it back then." Ikoma leaned in, his eyes full of longing, and said: "It was like,
that, then this, and then that!" He gestured wildly as he spoke.
"Shinazugawa-sama is a true hero!"
"Yes, he is a true hero! The great hero of all humanity!"
Sanemi Shinazugawa laughed heartily: "Ahaha, you all admire me so much."
Saying this, he patted Ikoma's shoulder: "As long as you uphold justice, you too can become a hero. No one is inferior to me."
Kyojuro Rengoku nodded, enthusiastically proclaiming loudly: "Sanemi is right, I saw everyone's bravery. Everyone is very strong, undisputed heroes. All humanity has contributed to saving the world."
"Moreover, our ability to save the world also comes entirely from God's Blessing."
"If not for God, what we could have accomplished would be limited."
"Yes, praise God."
"I wish God could also participate in the festival," Mumei said.
"God might be watching us right now."
"Really?" Mumei looked towards the table of offerings placed in front of the shrine.
In these past few days, she had sought news of her 'Brother' and the 'Hunters'.
But there was no news in any city.
Perhaps 'Brother' had died in a disaster later on.
Mumei was dispirited for a while, but she cheered up with everyone's comfort.
Although her 'Brother' was gone, she had found a new place to belong.
After all the Kabane disappeared, she discovered that her glowing heart had returned to a normal heart. She had become human again, though her body still retained the strength of a Kabaneri.
Time gradually passed, night fell, and the nationwide celebration banquet slowly quieted down.
Kyojuro Rengoku received a divine oracle, informing Mumei, Ayame, Na, and Pig to go to the shrine to listen to the divine oracle.
"God's divine oracle?" Mumei blinked in confusion, but her movements were quick, and she bounced towards the shrine.
"Ah! God has given me a divine oracle!" The drunk Na instantly sobered up: "Oh no! This is bad, this is bad!" He slapped his face with both hands: "I've been drinking. Will it be disrespectful to God to go see him now?"
"God has summoned me?" Pig was flustered. She hadn't gone out to fight Kabane with everyone, had she? Her Blessing was 'Harvest Art', which only made crops grow quickly.
Yokawa Family.
The Yokawa Family had already rebuilt in the former noble's house that was burned down by the Innocent Karma Fire. To say rebuilt isn't quite right; at most, the layout of the mansion was changed.
The Yokawa Family wasn't particularly good to the commoners of Xianjin Station, but not bad either, so they still had some prestige among the commoners. Coupled with Ayame Yomogawa also receiving a Blessing, with these factors combined, the Yokawa Family still had a certain basis for maintaining social order.
"God has summoned you, my good daughter. This is the glory of the Yokawa Family," Kaneshiro Yokawa said excitedly.
Since ancient times, how many people have been able to be summoned by the Gods in the heavens?
"Yes, Father, I understand."
"Go."
Ayame Yomogawa's heart pounded. Summoned by the supreme God, she didn't know how to express herself, only that her heart was beating too fast.
Whatever it was, it was her destiny.
In the shrine.
Xia Wei sat casually on the cushion in front of the 'Goshintai' offering.
The so-called 'Goshintai' is an object in which a God resides; it can be a sword, a stone, or anything at all.
However, that is how it is for specters. The 'Goshintai' offered to the true Gods of heaven are items that the God has used.
His 'Goshintai' was a sword he casually materialized, just for the sake of it, nothing more.
Mumei, Ayame, Pig, and Na successively arrived at the shrine.
Seeing God's casual demeanor, they immediately prostrated themselves on the ground.
Xia Wei rested his palm on his cheek and said with a smile: "Raise your heads."
The four then sat upright, their eyes filled with devout light.
"I am returning to the Celestial Realm, and my dependents will also leave."
"The shrine will be empty, so I plan to have you all become the shrine maidens who worship me at this shrine."
Ayame, being a well-informed young lady, covered her mouth with her hands in surprise: "Shrine maiden!" Her head felt light, happiness had come too suddenly.
To become God's shrine maiden!
