Chapter 1850 True God Sparks vs Faith-based God Sparks vs Faithless God Sparks

"I'll think about it."

Eren responded to the goddess Great Mother's proposal, tactically refusing to commit.

Although he liked the goddess' proposal and thought it feasible for him, he wanted to see what the witch goddess had to say to him.

Only after hearing the other side and weighing the pros and cons of his potential actions would he allow himself to proceed forward.

The goddess Great Mother didn't mind. She also half-expected Eren to respond this way. She was even impressed by him because of how level-headed he was to her proposal.

She was sure that any other demigod in his shoes would have a hard time keeping their cool.

Of course, since she had expected this, the goddess Great Mother hadn't shared the complete coordinates of the blue planet that was housing an Elder Seed Artifact at the time.

The reason she had created the consciousness-pulling formation and gave him partial coordinates was to create intrigue in Eren's mind.

According to the goddess' knowledge, Eren had plenty of time to make up his mind. However, he needed to act at the time of Hvergelmir Springs' appearance. Only after making sure that Eren was in her camp would the goddess Great Mother give him the other half of the coordinates.

After asking the goddess some more questions and getting some valuable information out of her, Eren bid adieu to the goddess Great Mother. He had a lot of things to do.

Plus, he didn't find it too comfortable when the descent of the goddess' Divine Sense attracted too much attention. So he left in a hurry, refusing to indulge in the goddess' hospitality any more than he had to.

The goddess was also busy, not forcing Eren to stay with her. The time of her Divine Sense possession was limited. Simi would regain control of herself in a few days when the goddess' Divine Sense left her body.

As such, the goddess contacted all of her allied organizations and asked them to convene a meeting. Her organization was the leading force in Labh Salem against the demonic faction.

As such, she needed to establish the rules of engagement within the divine faction, profit-sharing margins of the wartime products that would get produced as a joint venture between various forces, and general war strategies.

She needed to wrap up a lot of things before her temporary incarnation exhausted its operational time. As such, she started working as soon as she sent Eren off.

"This trip was totally worth it," Eren thought to himself as he traversed through a dense forest, heading towards a particular city away from the goddess' base of operations.

The goddess had told him a lot of things. He was sure that she did this to make him see her in a favorable light. Even so, Eren appreciated the gesture.

Therefore, in most cases, they only offered these God Sparks to followers who had reached the end of their Path. This selection process proved beneficial for both Immortals and their followers.

Immortals gained a powerful ally if they selected an S-Plus-

ranked individual to wield their faith-based God Spark. Conversely, S-Plus-ranked individuals who saw no further progress in their Path welcomed the opportunity provided by the Immortals they worshiped.

However, faith-based God Sparks created by Immortals had limitations. They were not as potent as those created by a world's World Will and came with restrictions imposed by the Immortals who crafted them. Plus, accepting these God Sparks meant that they would never be able to hierarchically climb above an Immortal.

Therefore, Practitioners, especially those of S-Plus Rank, would carefully consider before accepting a God Spark from Immortals.

Most S-Plus Rankers would only resort to this option as a last resort when they had reached the end of their lifespan and saw no further path of progression.

Then there was the God Spark created by potential Faithless Celestials, which differed significantly from those crafted by the universal laws of the boundless cosmos or the faith-based God Sparks created by Immortals.

When creating a faithless God Spark, the most crucial consideration was that it had to be done gradually. Additionally, it was not created by a higher being but by the individual who was intended to wield it.

During the creation of a God Spark, a world's Will utilized the universal laws of the boundless cosmos as the canvas and Existential Concepts as the medium to depict a clear image known as a God Spark.

When an Immortal followed the same procedure within their Immortal Plane, they had no choice but to taint it with their Individualities, resulting in a somewhat blurry picture.

However, when a Faithless Celestial embarked on forging their Path entirely on their own, the resulting God Spark they eventually assembled was not predetermined. The quality of the faithless God Spark was solely dependent upon the Practitioner's talent.

Technically speaking, accepting a God Spark forged by a world's Will was akin to receiving a top-notch weapon as a gift from a master artisan.

One didn't need to pay any price, there were no predetermined conditions, and the product received was assured of its quality.

Accepting a God Spark from a faith-based Immortal was like paying for a weapon that would get the job done. This was not a gift but a transaction, and one had to pay a certain price.

When it came to the Faithless Celestial, the whole idea of receiving the weapon as a gift or through a purchase was thrown out of the window.

The Faithless Celestial needed to create the weapon themselves, learning forging techniques, toiling countless hours in the smithy, and smelting the parts in the end to forge a weapon for themselves.

It was akin to a lone person trying to achieve mastery in various fields just to create a single product all by themselves.
