The Gods had been more active recently.
As Atlas wasn't progressing through the Tower as fast as his peers and doing meaningless things instead, he'd lost the attention of most of the larger Gods who were watching him.
People like [Great Sage, Heaven's Equal] who had names that resonated even outside the Tower had moved on to other Ascenders, curious about the achievements of this generation's frontrunners.
Still, Atlas had a consistent following of sorts.
[Treacherous Phoenix] was always around. They didn't say much, only chiming in occasionally to announce their presence or offer small bits of help, but they seemed particularly interested in his journey.
[Huntress of the Night] liked to show up every once in a while and ask him how he was doing.
As for the rest, most of them had long and unexplainable names that belonged to lower Gods who didn't have the same established Myths as the ones with shorter, more direct names.
