Unwittingly, more than a dozen years had passed since the War of the Gods, and the people of the Empire had gradually grown used to days without the presence of Divine Spirits.
Even the Life Divine Teachings was no exception.
When the last group of the most devout Believers went to the Far West to pay respects to the new god Mary, all they learned was that on the second day after the war ended, Mary had suddenly vanished without a trace. As for where she had gone, opinions within the Church Court were divided. Some believed that in her final battle against the True Gods who had fallen into Chaos, she had exhausted all her strength; others believed that, like the True Gods of seven epochs ago, she had quietly faded from people's sight.
Yet this time, no rumors of "Doomsday" were passed down.
The oracles of the gods could no longer point out tomorrow's path for the Believers. Some people fell into confusion and panic, but for many more, the future held infinite possibilities.
