Chapter 1313: Chapter 874: Titan World

Abyss.

"I see."

Kana nodded and looked at Raelia, "Since you have already listed the inventory, let’s negotiate according to the rules. Priority is to ensure the fortress’s needs, and under that premise, we help as much as we can.

"As for the price... well, it’s not easy for them to come from so far, so we can be a bit flexible."

In his words, he established the core principles for the supply of goods.

Normally, there was no need to deal with these, but since it came up, he decided to set the tone.

"Yes, Lord Kana," Raelia responded respectfully.

But to Kana, it sounded somewhat sarcastic.

When did Raelia ever call him Lord Kana?

Though he could understand, as they were in front of outsiders, and the other party held great respect for Kana.

Kana’s presence and this very "grounded" way of speaking seemed to draw an invisible line instantly in the meeting room.

Raelia, Abis, Grey Fang, and the others listened to Kana’s instructions and conversed with him in an extremely natural state, as if handling an ordinary business while the boss happened to drop by to say a few words.

Meanwhile, the members of the Blood War Fortress emissary team felt enormous psychological pressure due to Kana’s divine status, becoming cautious in their speech and actions, weighing every word for fear of offense.

Gelong even restrained all his roughness, trying hard to emulate Aryan’s refinement. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

The meeting continued, delving into more detailed discussions around the specifics listed.

But the subtle difference in atmosphere persisted.

When Raelia answered Aryan’s question about the effectiveness details of the "high-efficiency magic neutralizing potion," she inadvertently caught a glimpse of the unmistakable reverence and nervousness in the other’s eyes.

A thought suddenly crossed her mind: ’Do the outside world’s gods all need their followers to worship them with utmost reverence?’

This thought made her pause for a moment.

She, Abis, Grey Fang... all the original Night Watchers, they had always received knowledge, power, protection, and equal exchange from Kana.

Or rather, Kana placed himself in a position of "equality" or even "companionship," rather than a high-up deity.

They were used to calling Kana directly, used to complain about tasks being too difficult, used to expressing their thoughts in front of Kana—even if some thoughts might be a bit foolish.

Kana would also reprimand, would encourage, but that core based on protection, guidance, and equality never changed.

However, the emissary team’s attitude, like a mirror, clearly reflected the status and significance Kana now possessed within the Star Realm—a being that needed to be addressed as "Venerable," required to be treated with utmost caution, deserving of worshipful reverence.

Raelia took a tactical sip from the glass on the table, suppressing the peculiar sense of distance she realized for the first time.

She looked at Kana, who was carefully examining the list and quietly discussing the cost of certain enchanted arrowheads with Grey Fang, and then glanced at Aryan, who was cautiously choosing his words, beads of sweat on his forehead visible.

’So to others... gods are so different.’

A vague understanding quietly formed in Raelia’s heart.

This realization was not about alienation but rather a clearer awareness of the value of the trust and closeness they had been given.

She looked at Aryan again, with less pure military scrutiny in her eyes and more tolerant understanding.

"About the stability of the batch of forge runes for armor-piercing arrowheads," Raelia continued the discussion that was interrupted earlier, her tone calm but confirmatory.

"We will provide quality inspection reports for three recent production batches for reference, ensuring the enchantment effectiveness decay rate is below 1 in 10,000. This... should be acceptable to you, right?"

She tried to make her language seem formal, avoiding causing the other party unnecessary nervousness.

The lights in the meeting room cast varying shades of shadow on everyone’s faces, while the light reflected off the document on the table emitted a stable and orderly glow.

The negotiation continued, now laced with a subtle tinge named "the deity’s presence."

For the Night Watchers, this color was the norm; for the outsiders, it was a disruption of their understanding, a shock heavy with pressure.

At long last, the negotiation ended.

The members of the emissary team bowed to Kana and then hurriedly left.

Outside.

Aryan exhaled heavily, wiping the actual sweat from his forehead; even his back was drenched.

"Phew, I have never been so close to a Venerable before, let alone communicated with one."

"Brother, give me a hand, my legs are shaking."

The dwarf said, grabbing the mechanical arm of the compatriot beside him.

"But Lord Kana is indeed amiable, not at all like a deity, more like a leader or something."

Despite the tremendous psychological pressure, they had to admit that Kana’s attitude indeed made them feel somewhat flattered.

"After all, as a god with the title of a Savior, besides the power of Order, he should also possess benevolence."

For those more acquainted with the outside world and the gods.

A god’s title is of utmost importance.

The path taken since becoming a deity, the ideology of a deity, and the manifestation of a certain power are all contained within.

Indeed, a title is more of a mark that the will of the Star Realm bestows.

It is not entirely useless, aside from making it easier for other beings to understand the god better, its main function is to form a sort of anchor point.
