Among the three matters being processed, the Corrupted Spirit was the first to be resolved.
Closely following that was the Second Generation Behemoth.
[Law Crystals: 13 -> 20]
On the contrary, the location of the Polluted Sacred Fire, due to being some distance away from Orario, required Levi's Spirit Clones to activate their Arcanum of Space and fly for a full three days back and forth to reach it.
However, the moment Rindr and Hilde descended upon the Human Realm Sanctuary, Olympia, which had remained unchanged day after day, the Lower World crisis that was set to erupt in the near future instantly turned into rootless duckweed.
In the original timeline, the reason the gods needed to sacrifice Hestia to seal the Polluted Sacred Fire was not because the power of the deities in this world was insufficient, but simply because they had self-sealed their Divine Power while in the Lower World.
Without the blessing of Divine Power, Arcanum was still manageable—at least it could be driven by Mind, though the power would be significantly smaller—but the Divine Domains bound to the gods could not truly manifest.
But at this moment, as Levi's clones, Rindr and Hilde could release the Divine Domain.
Then, there was no 'then'.
The Polluted Sacred Fire, which 'The Fool' Epimetheus had relied upon to take revenge on the Lower World, was instantly contained after Rindr unfolded the 'Starry Paradise'. The corrupted parts within were decomposed and transformed under the unique rules of the Divine Domain, leaving behind only a cluster of Sacred Fire that had become pure once again.
It was then controlled by Hestia, who had set foot in this small world, and thoroughly fused with her own Constellation manifested in the sky—the [Hearth Goddess Constellation].
When Hestia was in Tenkai, she was originally the goddess who watched over the Sacred Fire.
Now, successfully retrieving the seed of the Sacred Fire that was once stolen by Prometheus, although it could not bring about a transformation in strength for herself, it allowed her lover, Levi, to utilize the Consciousness Divine Domain to master an additional Sacred Fire Arcanum on top of his original Constellation Arcanum.
Obviously, as one of the core powers of a deity, the Starry Paradise still had quite a lot of things to be developed in the future.
And Levi was not a character who only knew how to take without knowing how to give.
After resolving all the small 'crises' that might appear in the near future, he shut himself into the consciousness space for two consecutive days.
When he emerged again, the Falna system within his body, which had already been modified once, inevitably ushered in a further metamorphosis.

The combination of Divine Power + Spiritual Light + God-killing Power allowed Levi to successfully shed his mortal body after completing the final step of an adventurer ascending to godhood, transforming into the first—but not the only—Star Spirit God Race of this world.
In the following days, Hestia, Hephaestus, and Demeter also completed their reincarnation one after another.
At this point, the connection between the three goddesses and the Divine Domains they originally controlled was completely severed. Even if they unfolded their Divine Power just like Levi, they would no longer be forcibly sent back to Tenkai.
Amidst the busyness, a new month arrived quietly.
After the item stock in the Exchange Store refreshed, Levi, as in the past, exchanged all 50 Law Crystals and took the opportunity to consume one to purchase and use a Card Pool Fixation Ticket.
[Law Crystals: 25 -> 74]
Having reached his current level of strength, the supernatural powers of ordinary worlds, to be honest, were actually no longer of much use.
To continue becoming stronger, he either had to improve his own origin source, which was the 'Three-phase Divine Power' and the 'Starry Paradise', or he needed to further sublimate the Arcanum he controlled into Authority.
And the facts were indeed so.
The new World Card Pool was named 'Demon Slayer'. The maximum level of the card pool was only Lv.3. Things like Demon King Bloodline or Breathing Style Swordsmanship couldn't even bring the slightest reinforcement to Levi.
As for the Lv.6 Card Pool rewarded after writing the new Falna system previously... because several World Card Pools had already been solidified, the content was quite rich.
Unfortunately, a single draw required 10 Law Crystals, and a ten-draw was 100. Levi currently had no capital to exchange for it at all, so he could only tentatively treat it as nonexistent.
After being bestowed the Divine Name 'Cronus' by the World Will, it took Levi less than half a month from start to finish to thoroughly consolidate his foundation.
During this period, he had actually been waiting for news from the Guild. But the other side was like they were dead, having absolutely no intention of contacting the Hestia Familia.
On the other hand, the patron gods of other Familias living in Orario sent visiting cards one after another.
When Levi obtained the status of a Demigod, they had actually already regarded him as one of their own kind. After all, from Demigod to God Rank, under the premise of holding an Arcanum, one only needed to accumulate enough Divine Power.
And now, a deity who could use Divine Power at will in the Lower World without being sent back to Tenkai because of it—even if promoted post-natally—no one would fail to understand what that meant.
In a certain aspect, Cronus had already become the Uncrowned King of the Lower World in the truest sense.
The decisions he made were even more convincing than those of Great Gods like Ouranos and Odin.
Facing the visiting cards of the gods, Levi had Hestia find a random excuse to politely decline them at the time because he was making up for his final shortcomings. However, he also sent word out.
He expressed that he very much disliked the existence of the Pleasure Quarter and the Casino.
In a world where mighty power belongs to the individual, power is inherently equivalent to authority.
When he was just an ordinary adventurer, the Guild's higher-ups could pretend not to hear what Levi said. When he became a Demigod, Ishtar and other deities stepped up to the front.
But now...
It took less than a week from start to finish.
The Pleasure Quarter and the Casino suddenly issued announcements stating they would suspend business for rectification. As for the specific reopening time, it would need to be determined later.
"Are you satisfied now?"
Inside the Hestia Familia residence, the twin-tailed goddess looked at her lover.
Not only her, but Hephaestus, Demeter, and Artemis—who had been frantically courting Levi recently—as well as Astrea, who had run over to watch the show, all cast their gazes upon their 'youngest brother'.
Being watched by everyone, Levi nodded indifferently but didn't chat much on the related topic. He simply looked at Artemis.
"What did Zeus and Hera say?"
Because they were discussing serious business, Artemis's expression was slightly solemn.
"They agreed. The condition is that they hope you give the children of Tenkai a chance to reincarnate as Heroic Spirits."
"Acceptable."
To want others to exert effort, one always had to pay a little price.
"Counting Odin, Ra, and Brahma, the majority of the Great Gods in the Lower World are now on our side. As for the other gods, those in the Order and Good factions are easy to talk to; after all, if the Lower World is gone, everyone will die, and no one can escape. But those Evil Gods and gods who do it for the 'lulz'..."
Levi narrowed his eyes, not speaking the rest of the words aloud.
—The ship of the new era cannot carry so many gods of the old era.
