Xi Wei had read many otherworldly web novels before he transmigrated, and there were clear classifications for those who could wield supernatural powers such as Bronze, Silver, Gold, Swordsman, Sword Emperor, Sword Saint and so on.
But after transmigrating to this world, he realized that such things did not exist.
It was true that there were strong and weak people, but in a world where gods existed, strength could not be completely equated with fame and status.
In the Brilliant White Church, which worshipped one of the Seven Divine Fathers, Lionel, the God of Light, there was a seemingly complete path for paladins: Praise Knight → Glory Knight → Glory Knight → Divine Knight.
However, most of the Glory Knight titles were obtained by noble children through the purchase of God's Grace Tickets. Even among the Glory Knights, there were many people who got their titles through experience. In terms of strength, they were no match for the soldiers who obtained the title of Praise Knight through military merits. Only Divine Knights barely retained some authority since they were personally appointed by the deities.
From a certain point of view, the social classes of this world were already solidified.
After all, no matter how devout the poor were, they would still have to work to make ends meet and feed their families, to the point that the divine energy they prayed for a year might not even be as much as the Illum crystals the nobles offered in a day.
In a world filled with deities, there were only a few lucky ones who could catch the attention of the deities at birth and become a Chosen One or Saintess.
No matter how hard a person worked, they would never be able to climb up if they could not catch the attention of the deities.
After all, this was the real world, and the deities were not omniscient and omnipotent. It was understandable that such a situation would occur when the structure of society was completely controlled by humans.
Be that as it may, it also gave Xi Wei an opportunity: the commoners whom every church viewed as leeks to be harvested and whom they didn't care about were the ones whom he, the God of Games, could quickly win over and convert into believers!
Perhaps because Xi Wei was a transmigrator, he realized that he had the authority to travel between worlds apart from the Divine Authority of the God of Games. While there were some limitations, it was a huge advantage compared to other deities.
After all, other deities were bound by the laws of the world, and there were only three ways for them to descend to the mortal realm.
The first was to descend by divine decree, and split a portion of their consciousness to attach to a divine object or statue that they blessed, or directly enter the dreams of their believers (those who were devout and above). Almost all oracles were delivered by the gods to the Mortal Realm in this way.
The second was to descend through possession, using one's Chosen One as a temporary 'vessel'. The power of this descent was determined by the capacity of the 'vessel' itself. However, the Chosen One, who was favored by the Gods, would not have a small capacity as a vessel.
Finally, a projection would descend and wear down one's Divine Spark to temporarily project a shadow of the main body to the Lower Realm. This was the strongest form that a god could display in the mortal world without violating the laws of the world. It had about 80% of the power of the original body. Even the projection of a third-rate god was comparable to a Legendary powerhouse, not to mention other high-level gods.
Leaving aside the fact that the Divine Oracle didn't have any combat power, although the Possession Descent could last for quite a long time, it would cripple a Chosen One every time. It should be known that even the Church of the Seven Divine Fathers, which was currently at its peak, didn't have more than 30 Chosen Ones.
Not only would the projection only last for a short time, but it would also damage the Divinity. It should be known that the Divinity was equivalent to the soul to humans. It could be said to be the most important thing. If it was not as a last resort, the Gods would not use this method to descend.
As for the descent of the main body, that was basically impossible. The laws set by the Three Saints of Creation were difficult to surpass. Even the Seven Divine Fathers, the highest of the Gods, would have to pay a price if they wanted to cross the World Barrier. If it was light, their Divinity would be damaged, and if it was heavy, they would fall!
However, Xi Wei's Transmigration Authority allowed him to bypass this restriction. At the cost of divine energy, he could directly descend into the mortal world from his previous life, and he could even use the power that was preserved in the Divine Realm. It was completely against the rules … although his current power in the Divine Realm was still very weak.
"Hmm, the remaining divine energy can probably last for about seven days … Alright, I'll go all out!"

Kennington Village was a small village in the mountains far away from the city.
Remote and poor were almost synonymous with this village.
Other than intermarrying with a few other villages, there was almost no movement of people in the village.
There used to be a few young men in the village who dreamed of going to the big cities, but in this extremely xenophobic era, they had no other skills other than hunting and farming. In the end, they could only return to the village dejectedly, continuing to live a dangerous and poor life.
Until three days ago, a special guest suddenly came to the village.
Twelve-year-old Eleena carried a small basket, skipping across the barren chestnut and potato fields, her silver ponytails swaying with her every movement. She came to a small stone house outside the village and lightly knocked on the door.
A moment later, the old wooden door creaked open.
A tall and skinny young man appeared behind the door. He did not seem to be in good health, his face was pale, and he looked a little weak.
"Hello, Mister Xi Wei." The girl was the first to greet him politely.
"Oh, it's Eleena, how's your uncle?"
The young man was naturally Xi Wei, who came from the mortal world.
However, due to the scarcity of divine energy, he could not waste too much of it on creating people. In the end, he could only use his previous life as a blueprint and spend 1 divine energy to create a minimal body.
He came to Kennington Village with the identity of a priest, and under the village chief's arrangements, he temporarily stayed in this stone house.
Yesterday, Eleena's uncle was heavily injured when he went out hunting, and it was Xi Wei who healed him and pulled him back from the brink of death.
"He's almost recovered. Grandpa chief said that your divine healing arts are even better than the priests in the Brilliant White Church in the city!" The girl said happily.
Nonsense, I'm a deity after all, alright? Xi Wei said in his mind.
"This is the tiger deer meat my uncle hunted two days ago. It's already roasted, and I brought it just for you."
As she spoke, Eleena handed the basket to Xi Wei, gulping. "My aunt's cooking is amazing. Try it if you don't believe me."
Xi Wei took the heavy basket. It seemed that there was quite a lot of roasted meat in it.
He looked at the greedy little girl and couldn't help but smile. However, that smile always gave off the feeling that he was weak. "I can't finish it all by myself. You should come and eat with me."
"Really?!" The little greedy cat's eyes lit up, but then she seemed to remember her family's warning and asked shyly, "But won't I disturb you?"
"Oh, then I'll have to eat by myself." Xi Wei shook his head and sighed.
"Ugh …" The little girl's head drooped, and her little face drooped looked especially cute.
"Alright, don't look so sad. Come in and eat."
