Jax's clone remained kneeling, unmoving, while the golden light descended from the heavens, bathing the village in a blinding radiance. The voice that echoed from within the light was not human; it was deep, serene, and filled with divine authority, as if the Dream God himself were speaking.
"I will hear all your prayers," the voice declared, "but in this world, nothing comes for free. If you want my favor, you must give me your faith and your hard work. There is nothing I despise more than a mediocre people… Only the worthy shall receive my power!"
The light fell directly upon a young man who had sung louder than anyone else. His body was flooded with pure energy, erasing his hunger and exhaustion. His level surged from 2 to 15 in an instant, and he collapsed once more to his knees, worshiping with renewed fervor.
The villagers, speechless, watched as the energy flowed. The voice continued, resonating over all of them:
"My envoy will teach you what you must do next."
