Alfred's eyes were bloodshot as he stared intensely at Luca. "Do you know how long the average person lives? Even a Transcendent-level individual barely reaches a century! And how long can the mightiest empire last? A mere tens of thousands of years!
"But gods are different! They possess nearly limitless lifespans and the power to shape worlds! If Fratis becomes the Goddess of Dawn, the citizens of the Clinton Empire will escape poverty and become the first eternal divine kingdom on the Eternal Continent!
"Do you understand what that means?"
"It means our Clinton Empire will stand for tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions of years! It will be immortal!"
Alfred's voice echoed through the study.
His fists were clenched tightly, his emotions running high, as if he could already see the Clinton Empire becoming the brightest jewel of the Eternal Continent, shining eternally under the light of the gods.
