The concept of 'Divine beings' wasn't a foreign thing to Varian or any human. There were plenty of myths from the old earth from all traditions and cultures.
But some of these divine beings were proven to be the descendants of Devas who were merely worshipped by the earthlings for their miraculous powers.
Could they still be allowed to be called as gods?
Varian didn't really think much about it. But at least from the perspective of divine paths, it was incorrect.
The beings from Level 1 to level 9 were termed as mortals. The next range beings were called Celestials. And the ones above were referred to as Divines.
Still, according to the system, none of them really called themselves gods.
[There are no living gods today. But once upon a time, there were three.]
Varian slowly approached the twisting strands of divinity as the System narrated.
