Time is funny,
It changes for none,
And travels at the same speed for all,
Yet when it comes to thrilling experience,
It seems to pass slow,
As if playing with us,
Letting us experience misery to its fullest!

The whole world seems beautiful. Such a beautiful scene with flowers blooming, birds singing, air blowing, and petals flowing, yet no single soul is there to see except, of course, Ryan, who is now fully committed to looking at Rakesh and too busy to notice the beauty around. The scene in itself could be called heaven. Yet, a body is seen bleeding from its body, reconstructing muscles and bones with the divine power of Gods. Yeah, moving towards being a creature greater than mortal, smaller than Gods. Yeah, it's the saints. Yet, all things seem to not go well as the language of pain is seen on Rakesh's face, yet his unyielding resolve lets him fight against death itself. But the sad thing is, how can a mere 10000 faith points suffice for the great cause?

Slowly but surely, the faith points and faith power repairing his body are decreasing, and all things look bleak. Even Ryan has sadness on his face.

World Consciousness: Sigh! It's all fate!

Just when hope seems to leave the world and a beautiful soul was starting to turn into bits of flesh, other people start to wake up!

"The world, it's so different,
The air, it's so fresh,
The filth, it seems to disappear
And my vision, it seems to have changed
My body, I feel my qi running
My qualification seems to have been improved!" says a villager, and as he looks around in amazement at the beautiful scene he sees, and that's when he realized all the villagers seem to gaze towards a bloody figure which seems oddly familiar.

Just when a strange silence and tension were spreading between this beautiful scene which remained unnoticed, a figure is seen rushing towards him.

"Brother, you told me that you will take Meme to see the beautiful world. Let Meme experience beautiful cuisines and beautiful people and nature. You told me that Meme also could go to another village and spread the gospel of Gods. You said you will take me, you promised me, and you remember it rightttt!" She says in a loud emotional voice as she is rushing towards the place.

"You helped me take revenge. You helped me achieve something I would have never imagined achieving. I thought of every warrior as a piece of shit in the road, and I was incredibly saddened by the thoughts that I can't do anything about it, and that is what my child has to bear and witness too. I was even thinking of castrating myself." Says Krish as if remembering a miserable period, and his words were so heartfelt and seem to resonate with masses.

"You know how we found you; it was miserable. We saw cry marks in your eyes. But you were smiling and tackling it like a warrior so good that I still don't know your misery. I still don't know what you went through, yet you helped me and in fact helped us be who we are today. In fact, if God helped us achieve everything, then you showed us the way. It's as if you are our teacher, yet we are unfilial, can't help, only look at your misery while smiling." Says Rudolf, and his speech seems to contain magic, and all of a sudden, a unique halo seems to radiate from everyone. A unique fragrance seems to drift in the environment. A fragrance of respect, a fragrance of regret, and a fragrance of pure and selfless care.

"I was so dead. Obeying the orders of Baron, doing all the dirty works for him. Seeing people's life turn into misery and hopelessness. I thought I was a devil. I was waiting for my turn to hell, yet from the beginning, you gave me kind vibes, ultimately freed me from my miserable fate with the Great God. I am sorry, I am thankful, I am sad, I am regretful."

"Those were dark days. I saw how my wife died. Saw how my children's voice disturbed their pleasure, leading to their amputation. I had lost all hopes in life. I stayed drunk always, and I was not even a good father. They didn't have good food to eat, yet I had wines and alcohols to drink. TBH I just wanted them to die and leave this world of misery, yet I saw their mother in them. Yeah, I was dying to free them, yet I can't cause I loved them too much to cause them harm. I wanted to starve them, but I couldn't eat without them eating. I am so self-centered I know yet I see no fate and no change but you changed that. Now my child, they are warriors, and their murderers are at hell instead. Yet... I am regretful, yeah, it seems nothing changed, haha(drinks the alcohol)."

"Food, yeah, even food was luxury to have. Having a dead husband who died plowing their field, shedding tears for them. Yeah, we were always hungry. It's funny how we cultivate food yet we are hungry. But it all changed, it all changed because of you. I am happy but sad at my happiness seeing you...I am sorry."

Different stories but a common point in their life. Yeah, his life was so thoroughly connected to theirs, and yeah, he was so significant to them.

Sigh!

Just then the fragrance starts to concentrate and transform in purity and form as it resonates with the hub of faith. The wonderful scene and mirages created start to concentrate at him with the unique aura of respect awfully close to faith which was then amplified by The skill and situation. Creating a huge power that could be worth hundreds of thousands if not millions of faith points. Yeah, faith!

With the influx of faith, his situation seems to improve.

World consciousness: Sigh! Yet it's still the same. Without even a single step of purification, the raw power it is enough to assimilate even a divine being into something indescribable. Yet he is using so much of it. Will he be the same?

Just as world consciousness finishes sighing, Rakesh wakes up!
