Bogart, after a moment of contemplation, revealed a shocking statement: "The Supreme Deity became a deity through cultivation, not as an ancient deity."
"What?" Ethan was so startled he almost jumped up.
Bogart nodded slightly, his voice deep and melodic, as he began to recount the tale: "When the Supreme Deity was known as Altorius, he was a dark magus. He was once one of the most powerful magi on the continent but turned to an evil path in his quest for eternal life."
Ethan listened intently, not interrupting. Learning about the growth and rules of a deity was a rare opportunity.
"During an experiment, Altorius accidentally opened a portal to the world of the dead, bringing a multitude of Wraiths into the world of the Supreme Deity. These Wraiths began attacking humans and other creatures, causing a massive disaster. To control these Wraiths, Altorius founded the Wraith Cult and started recruiting followers to help him fulfill this vision."
