My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 2270

Becoming gods and the awakening of the gods… While these two events might seem unrelated at first glance, they were, in reality, part of a grand plan orchestrated by the old man in white robes, the manager of the West.

The old man knew that to satisfy his ambitions, he could not simply stop there. He did not just want to be a god of one realm; he wanted to become the god of the entire world! This was an ambition that began decades ago.

One day, he handed a congratulatory card to a businessman. "Let me see your determination if you wish to become a god."

The task was akin to the one entrusted to Nash and Clint by the old priest today. The old man in white then began selecting candidates for godhood. He knew that the awakening of Western gods required time, and that he had to expand his influence during this period.

The old man sought capable individuals in the mortal realm and assigned them exclusive tasks to broaden his power. As he gathered more and more people, these individuals also began to self-organize.

Today, more than half of the founders in the Western world were those he had chosen before.

The old man granted these people power and assigned them missions. As long as they completed their missions within the stipulated time, they could achieve divinity! However, the tasks were not as simple as they seemed.

To facilitate the completion of these tasks, numerous organizations were established, including the Illuminion and the Reaper Guild. BrightState Enterprise was a product of this system.

However, the old man in white robes no longer personally selected the candidates. Instead, he had entrusted the task to his chosen knights, and they were the four projections seen earlier.

After being chosen and ascending to godhood, the knights began assisting the old man in his grand design. The Illuminion's leader, the elders of the Crossover Judges, and Ioan were all examples of the chosen ones.
