Due to the large-scale effects and the possible ramifications of the Welcoming Ceremony, everyone's attention was glued to it.
The normal people who worship the churches treated this event as a miraculous, once-in-a-lifetime scene, while the clans that are ruled by the churches gave this event a wary look.
As for the evil religions that were excluded from the invitation, they took interest on the ceremony, even if they were banned from even approaching the place.
Both metaphorical and physical feelers were released by these evil religions in order to make sense of what was happening, and they made it sure that they were not caught by their enemies.
This action allowed even these religions to know what was happening, but it also went beyond that.
Some of these evil religions did not just investigate the facts about the event itself. Some also delved deeper on the identity of the new Divine Maiden, and they also investigated the ones who were invited.
