Back on planet Carter, fifty years had passed since Ralak established the Primordial God religion. The faith had spread far and wide, and those who devoted themselves to the teachings of the church were known as Eternals, a title symbolizing their eternal dedication to their god. Those personally blessed by Ralak, given a portion of the Primordial God's immense power, were called Saints, protectors and holy warriors of the faith. Ralak, as the one who directly communicated with Carter, was revered as the Sovereign, a figure of unmatched wisdom and authority, guiding the world in Carter's name.
With the rapid spread of the church came opposition in the form of false religions and pretenders trying to draw the people away. One by one, these false prophets and their followers were crushed, their teachings shown to be hollow, until only one group remained—the Void Cult. Unlike others, this group rejected belief in any higher power, embracing only science and logic. They were primarily Nyth from the main continent, along with some Vorasis remnants. Despite Ralak's efforts to bring them under the church's influence, the Void Cult had persisted, spreading its influence among the more skeptical and intellectual factions of the world.
Their refusal to believe in gods or divine beings made them a persistent thorn in the side of the Primordial Church, and their settlement grew into a stronghold of dissent on the main continent.
Ralak had established the grand church in the heart of the Trekan continent, a monumental structure where the faith of the Primordial God thrived. The entire Trekan race had embraced the religion, making the continent its spiritual center. The towering white spires of the church pierced the sky, its halls adorned with ancient symbols of divine power and glowing murals depicting the might of the Primordial God.
While Ralak roamed the sacred halls, reflecting on his mission, the massive double doors of the church suddenly burst open with a resounding thud. A Saint, panting and wide-eyed, rushed through the entrance and fell to his knees before the Sovereign. "Great Sovereign, we have a problem!"
Ralak turned calmly, already sensing the nature of the disturbance. His piercing gaze met the Saint's frantic eyes as he spoke, his voice steady and composed. "It's the Void Cult, isn't it?"
The Saint nodded, sweat beading on his brow. "Yes, Sovereign. Their influence grows stronger by the day. They've started gathering more followers in secret, spreading their teachings across the other continents. Their science-based ideologies are convincing more of the Nyth and even a few Vorasis they even started trying to approach the fexdrin before us. They've openly begun challenging our faith, questioning the divine power of the Primordial God."
Ralak sighed, his eyes narrowing as he looked toward the horizon. "They dare question the truth, defy the will of the Primordial God, and undermine all we have built. This heresy cannot continue unchecked." He paused for a moment, then added, "Gather the other Saints. It's time we remind the world of the true power of our lord."
