Human Civilization Third Branch, Old Deli City.
Akshadam Temple, a temple that can accommodate 100,000 devotees daily, saw its numbers swell to millions in these few days.
Countless devotees were prostrated on the ground, resembling a dense swarm of ants.
They recited scriptures and listened to the prayers of the High Priest.
The drastic changes in the external environment had the panicked populace urgently in need of spiritual solace.
In this moment, religion exerted a powerful force.
Local officials, tycoons, and religious powers quickly banded together, providing stable food supplies to calm the devotees.
Old Deli isn't a kind of industrially developed supercity, but it has plenty of good farmland, and the local rulers aren't foolish—only stability ensures a future.
Even the statue of Mahatma Gandhi was placed inside the temple...
After all, anything that could provide a stable anchor of faith was good.
