Before being able to obtain a true divine body, there were only two ways for deities to enhance their power.

One was by fighting a divine war to determine victory and thus devour the divine source of a deity whose authority heavily overlapped with their own.

The second was by gaining the power of faith through believers or fulfilled wishes.

The Goddess of Love, Freya, had followers spread across the entire Seraphis Continent.

One could say that any normal race would not lack young people, and the union of young men and women would inevitably involve love as a seasoning.

The Goddess of Love was born from the emotional expectations of all beings.

The Goddess of Love disliked war.

Devouring the divine source of other deities through battle was not her preference.

Since the first method was not feasible, only the second could be implemented. However, the power of faith also varied.

The faith provided by ordinary mortals and that provided by a High-tier mage were naturally incomparable.

Different personal abilities would result in different amounts and purities of faith power.

And if one were to ask whose faith power was the most potent supplement? There were only two options.

One was a deity, the other was a Descender not from this world.

If deities of the same rank provided faith power, it would naturally be considered immense fortune falling from the sky.

But since one could become a deity, no one was a fool. How precious was faith power? Why would they give it to you?

And every deity walked a different path. The divine paths they pursued were all independent and opposing.

If a deity were to worship another deity, they would very likely fall from their divine throne.

The second type, Descenders, was also easy to understand.

Things from outside were always more precious and novel than one’s own. Descenders themselves possessed unique luminous souls.

The faith generated by a powerful soul was extremely vast, coupled with the unique nature of a Descender’s own beliefs.

No wonder Descenders, these convenient and unexpected gifts on the Seraphis Continent, were hot commodities in the eyes of every deity. After all, who wouldn’t like a sustainably exploitable ATM falling from the sky?

“The Saintess of the Great Dragon Divine Dynasty is a Descender, but why is her aura in the memory rubbing so indistinct?” Freya looked at the memory fragment suspended in her hand and asked with a frown.

“Because that girl isn’t a complete Descender.” Radon stroked his chin, slowly saying.

“When my memories were vague, I once dreamed, in an endless dream, of a star falling from outside the heavens. The dream was utterly chaotic. I subconsciously swung my dragon tail towards that star. The star was struck by the dragon tail and shattered, and in the star river, its falling direction was precisely to the west of the Seraphis Continent.”

As old acquaintances who had known each other for an unknown number of years, Freya was one of the few who could barely understand Radon’s riddles.

To translate: This old dragon once dreamed, in its slumber, of a star falling towards the Seraphis Continent. A deity’s consciousness could wander beyond the heavens, and a star from outside the heavens heralded the arrival of a Descender’s soul. The old dragon struck this star with its tail, causing the Descender’s soul to shatter, and the west of the Seraphis Continent was precisely the direction of the Great Dragon Divine Dynasty.

“So you caused her soul to be shattered?”

“Yes, I feel quite guilty about that, but I also left a mark on her, and the divine power on the mark repaired her soul.” Radon nodded, saying so.

“But even if repaired, she isn’t the same person she once was. The power used for repair was your divine power, so her soul naturally became imbued with the native aura of Seraphis. Combined with her shattered soul, this perfectly explains why she has no memories from before her arrival, correct? The Goddess of Love truly lives up to her name, instantly guessing Radon’s hidden secret.”

“Indeed, so in that girl’s self-perception, she does not consider herself a Descender, but rather an indigenous dragon of Seraphis.”

This is also why Radon referred to Aurelia as a “half-Descender,” and it explains why the Goddess of Love could only sense a faint Descender aura from her memory rubbing.

“You scoundrel, I see you sleeping all day, yet you’re quite cunning, aren’t you?” Freya narrowed her pink eyes, speaking mockingly.

“Can you blame me? She completely delivered herself to my doorstep.” Radon shrugged, adopting a posture as if it had nothing to do with him.

“So now you want me to fulfill that promise from back then, to use it to bring together the romantic fates of these two Descenders?”
“Indeed.”

“To be honest, among the loves I’ve connected, there have been those of the same race, different races, forbidden romances between deities and humans, and even pursuits of affection between deities… But intervening in the love between two Descenders, this is my first time~”

As she spoke, excitement and eagerness appeared in Freya’s eyes and expression.

These days, Descenders were harder to find than deities.

Although deities were difficult to be born, after the long history of Seraphis, their overall number was still respectable. But Descenders were different…

This was purely like a lottery among deities. Whoever found one would hit the jackpot. Currently, only a handful of Descender identities were known, and many Descenders, once found by deities, immediately concealed their identities.

This feeling was akin to being a veterinarian who usually treated cats and dogs, but now someone had pushed a patient desperately needing surgery in front of you, asking you to treat them.

“Not to say world-shattering, but at least the highest-risk ever. You can’t guarantee success, can you?”

“Not impossible, just never done before. That sense of urgency and novelty brings an an unprecedented thrill and challenge.”

“However, this is a business with huge profits for little investment. Anyway, love isn’t dangerous. If the threads of love don’t connect, then they don’t connect. But if they do connect…”
‘Oh my goodness, that’s the power of faith generated by the love of two Descenders! Freya could barely imagine how comfortable it would be to bathe in such pure faith power.’

“Can it be done?”
“It can, but there are some challenges. However, what I like is a challenge!”

Freya leaped down from the swing. Her slender fingers lightly tapped the space, and a silver ripple accompanied a book falling into the Goddess of Love’s hand.
[Divine Artifact: Book of Names] She began to quickly flip through its information.

In fact, the main function of this divine artifact was like a census register.

The Goddess of Love could use this book to search for information on all registered individuals on the Seraphis Continent.

If a Descender, all information except their name would show as uniformly unknown.

Of course, this couldn’t be used as a method to screen for Descender identities, because if you didn’t know the true person’s name and appearance, opening the Book of Names would only yield a blank page.

Aurelia’s information was quickly found. Looking at the Book of Names, all information except her name was unknown. Freya then contentedly locked onto the aura in the book.

One had been found. Now, she just needed to find another name, Conde, in the Book of Names, and she could begin connecting the two individuals’ romantic fates. However, this time…

No matter how the Goddess of Love concentrated her will to imagine Conde’s appearance and name in her mind, the Book of Names only yielded a blank page.

Repeating it several times, the result was always the same, and a look of bewilderment spread across Freya’s face.

‘This is impossible! The Book of Names can even track down undocumented Descenders, so why can’t it find anything about a living person like Conde?’

‘Wait… No information found. Is there a possibility that this person named Conde had his “registration” moved by another deity before I could search for him?’
