"In the third phase, I did not bring up the matter of sacrifice again," Nellie slowly reconstructed the previous situation. "Though you said that Danacus was a deity from the First Epoch and his relationship with believers differed from those in the Third and Fourth Epochs, after all, he was a deity. He had to maintain the dignity typical of deities and only by keeping a distance and a sense of mystery could he garner faith. Too close a proximity can even erode emotions, let alone a faith that goes beyond emotions."
"What you are saying does make sense," Pannis did not deny Nellie's opinion, nodding and saying, "Even in the First Epoch, although deities often descended to the mortal world to live among their believers, they still needed to maintain sufficient distance. They would never get too intimate with their believers, as it would be hard to gain their respect."
