30 Years After Reincarnating, It Turns Out This World Was A Rofan?! novel Chapter 137

Divine Power

It was one of the "First Mysteries" bestowed by the gods.

From ancient civilizations to the present, divine power had its roots in the faith of the Sun God and Moon God, who still dominated the continents of the West and East. There were also the gods of the sea, earth, and sky, now mere shadows of their former glory but still worshiped by small groups of devotees.

The flames of divine power were first gifted to humanity by these ancient gods. As the faith of their followers grew purer, the divine power bestowed upon them grew stronger.

For this reason, most ancient nations were theocracies.

They expanded their territories, established agrarian societies, and built the foundations of their civilizations through the might of divine power.

But as time went on, the abuse of this power for personal wealth and influence led many of these theocracies into corruption.
