In the interstellar future, gods and humans coexist.
Those blessed by the gods can wield extraordinary power.
At the new student orientation, everyone knew the school had a student with a 100% divine affinity.
A once-in-a-millennium gift. If she wanted, every god would answer her, including the supreme gods whom everyone else could only worship from their knees.
Yet, in front of the expectant eyes of the generals and teachers,
the new student firmly chose a weak god no one had ever heard of.
-
Qi Yue has a secret no one knows.
She has a god's secret identity.
Because this god has no followers, they are very weak.
But that's all right. She is her own most devoted follower.
No one could love her more than she loves herself.
She will offer everything she has to the "god" she believes in, without asking for anything in return.
She will do whatever it takes to make her "god" stronger.
So:
Faced with the earnest advice of all her teachers and interstellar generals,
and tempted by the supreme power and status she could gain by switching to a supreme god, Qi Yue didn't so much as blink.
Qi Yue: I can't hear you! I can't hear you! I can't hear you!
Even if she ends up so poor she has to scavenge through trash, she'll do it all for the god she chose!
Watching Qi Yue stubbornly refuse to change her mind, some people shook their heads and sighed, others were frustrated by her refusal to see reason, and still others gloated.
But all the students and teachers believed that, as time passed and Qi Yue realized this god couldn't protect her at all, she'd regret it.
Instead, all they saw was her risking her life again and again for that weak god, willing to pay any price.
In a world where everyone pursues strength, how could there be a follower like Qi Yue?
The gods had the same question.
Because of Qi Yue's 100% divine affinity, they could hear every one of her prayers.
They heard her tell that weak god how much she loved them, time and time again;
They could feel that she always put that weak god first;
They watched as, even on the brink of death, she only blamed herself for being too weak and unable to do more for her god.
A soul so devoted, a soul so pure...
Enough to make every god's heart stir;
Enough to make every god want to claim her for themselves.
-
During a military exercise on the battlefield.
Everyone knew that, with Qi Yue's abilities, she wouldn't last a day on the battlefield.
But while they coldly watched her face danger, they saw:
A dazzling, boundless light gently drive away the threats around Qi Yue;
A god deliver an oracle to illuminate her path;
A god stir up a breeze to soothe every wound on her body;
A god use divine power to smooth every rough patch and pothole in her way...
Everyone watched in disbelief as Qi Yue effortlessly received what they had spent their whole lives yearning for: the gods' favor.
The favor of so many gods, no less.
Yet she seemed not to care at all. Her eyes shining, she simply picked up an energy stone at her feet and carefully slipped it into her pocket.
The gods knew it was an offering she had prepared for that weak god.
No matter what they did, she never once wavered in her faith.
At that moment, the high and mighty gods finally understood what jealousy was.
