"This relates to the faith system of the Church of Writing." The Goddess of Writing, Reitia, held nothing back and immediately explained her faith system to them, or rather, her divine arts system.

The biggest difference between the Church of Writing and other churches was that rather than calling it a church, it was more like a guild. There were no clear hierarchical divisions internally—everyone was on the same level, unable to manage each other, with no superior-subordinate relationships. Everyone could communicate and learn on equal footing.

In the church system, it was definitely an oddball among oddballs.

Perhaps precisely because of this, the Church of Writing had very few believers, almost negligible. There might not even be more believers than clerics.

But while positions had no hierarchy, divine arts had levels! And advancing in divine arts required not just providing faith, not just gaining recognition from the Goddess of Writing, but more importantly—fame!

The entire divine arts system was divided into nine major levels.

Sequence 9—Reader: After conversion, they needed to read as widely as possible—customs and cultures, geography, historical records, the ways of the world. In this process, the believer's perception and observation would continuously climb. By the end, they'd basically be at the level of a top psychologist, able to glimpse others' true thoughts from actions and expressions through comprehensive analysis, and even guide them subtly to achieve hypnosis.

Sequence 8—Author: After accumulating to a certain degree, they'd begin writing and advance instantly. This level's characteristic was being able to create slight illusions. At this point they'd gained some peculiar abilities, but weren't very strong—at most comparable to mage apprentices, able to influence ordinary people.

Sequence 7—Bard: At this stage, they needed to spread their works as far and wide as possible...

From Sequence 7 onward, fame became extremely important. Whether for leveling up or supernatural power, everything depended on fame.

For example, if someone wrote and spread a book about a giant with immense strength, then that believer's strength would continuously increase. Things like that.

As their created books became more famous and their faith became more devout, the clerics would become stronger and stronger. Upon reaching Sequence 1, they'd master the readers' ocean of consciousness and possess an ability similar to "coincidence"—they could make some prophecies, and these "prophecies" had a high probability of coming true through strange coincidences.

There was once a Sequence 1 believer who prophesied the disappearance of the primordial elves, and then the primordial elves disappeared. However, no one knew whether this was coincidence or whether they'd really been influenced by that believer.

People had also prophesied the Gray Fort Empire's reforms, prophesied wars in the Kingdom of Dawn... There were way too many prophecies.

Ren listened in silence. Was this coincidence, or did they really have the power of prophecy? But it didn't really matter—those earlier sequences were definitely real, truly able to draw power from the books they wrote.

Understanding the Goddess of Writing's faith system clearly, Ren and the Goddess of Magic naturally got it. Getting to the root of it, Ren felt the core of the Church of Writing was just two things: seeking fame and blurring reality with fiction. Seeking fame was the process, blurring reality with fiction was the result.

And the Magic Net would inevitably become their best place to seek fame.

There was no other place in the world that could simultaneously gather so many literate people. Once cooperation was achieved, they could even do it from their own homes—write and gain fame! The danger level would greatly decrease while the rate of return would massively increase. No wonder the Goddess of Writing came in person, even willing to give up 50% of the faith power!

If successful, never mind 50% of the faith power—even at 70% she'd still be making a profit!

"50%—I can agree to that." Ren nodded slightly. "But we need to sign an additional condition."

"Oh? What additional condition?" The Goddess of Writing immediately showed a delighted expression.

She was just a humble minor deity with fewer than ten thousand believers. Before the Goddess of Magic and the God of Technology, she really didn't measure up. What's more, they controlled such a "divine artifact"! You could say her entire future was tied to this.

"We'll sign a performance-based agreement." Ren was blunt. "Simply put, if we develop a Magic Net that ordinary people can use, we get seventy percent of the faith power."

"Seventy percent?! That ordinary people can use?" The Goddess of Writing was clearly stunned, not expecting such an answer.

The Goddess of Magic was the same!

Asking for seventy percent right off the bat! Taking more than half, and the other party would still be doing most of the work while they only needed to invest some resources upfront... Wasn't that a bit inappropriate?

"As far as I know, the Magic Net seems to require magic power to activate?" The Goddess of Writing took a deep breath, her heart finally showing some fluctuation.

"That's why I'm calling it a performance bet. What if we do develop it? In that case, Magic Net users would skyrocket by countless multiples. Plus, before long, influenced by me, there will be a huge number of literate people appearing in the mortal realm. Think it over carefully!" Ren said with a smile.

The Goddess of Writing's brain raced, and she quickly came to a decision: "If the number of supernatural beings on the Magic Net reaches 800,000, or ordinary people reach 3 million, I can accept giving you seventy percent of the faith."

Once those two numbers were exceeded, based on the possible reader numbers she'd observed during this period and information on how long they read, even giving away seventy percent of the faith, the total amount would still be greater than her expectations. Right now, the only channel was in their hands—as long as she didn't lose money, she could accept it.

Ren had originally been thinking of setting a standard of 5 million people, but unexpectedly she directly said 3 million. He immediately agreed without further ado.

Contracts between gods would directly integrate into the laws of heaven and earth, so neither side worried about the other breaking the agreement. After signing the contract, the Goddess of Writing finally breathed a sigh of relief: "How long will it take for this feature to go online? I'll also prepare to communicate with my believers and have them activate the Magic Net as quickly as possible."

"Fast would be one week, slow would be... 30 days." Ren instinctively almost said one month, but suddenly realized that in this world, a month was over 90 days. Good thing he reacted in time.

"Take this Magic Net Ring with you. Create an account, we'll add each other as friends, then create a group chat. If anything comes up, we can communicate directly through this." Ren used the King of Creation's authority to control a Magic Net Ring and float it over. "This ring doesn't need prayer to activate."

"Thank you." The Goddess of Writing was slightly stunned, then nodded.

Everything was quickly completed, and the Goddess of Writing took her leave. After the divine realm barrier closed again, the Goddess of Magic finally couldn't help but speak up: "We're taking 70% of the faith right off the bat—isn't that a bit excessive?"
