‘Minerva suddenly wants to have dinner with me?’ Chang-Sun wondered.

She was probably inviting him to her divine ground, just like Mephistopheles had. However, even though Mephistopheles made it look so easy, a deity actually had to go through a great deal of trouble to summon a mortal to their divine ground. They would have to go against the causality and personally bring the human to their ground while dealing with all possible side effects.

That was why the invitation was also of great significance to humans who received it. Humans were just one of the many followers who devoted their faith to the deities, so deities sometimes considered them less than bugs. Taking that into consideration, an invitation to a deity’s divine ground meant the deity thought very highly of the mortal.

Back when Chang-Sun was still the ‘Divine Twilight,’ he hadn’t really interacted with Minerva since she wasn’t really socially active despite her popularity. That was why Chang-Sun was shocked even though her invitation wasn’t completely unexpected. He had expected that if he continued to not choose a Guardian, some Celestials would bring Chang-Sun before themselves and directly try to coax him. Minerva moved faster than he anticipated, though.

‘I didn't think they would wait until I became a high ranker, but I thought they would at least wait until I became a ranker,’ Chang-Sun thought.
