"Energy that comes as a result of mortal worship," he emphasized, "the growth of our realm, the sustainability of our realm, our growth in strength and power, all depend on this energy."
"Because of how important this energy is to us ascended gods," he explained, his voice gaining a sharper edge, "many newly ascended gods go out of their way to expand their religion to gather as many mortal worshippers as they can."
