Let’s systematically summarize the settings of God in this book:
God is the "collection of faith", the only one.
The incarnation is the "faith puppet", and only one can exist at the same time.
Apostles are “executors of faith,” and there can be more than one at the same time.
Believers are the “source of faith”.
god--
God does not necessarily have a physical body.
The current Lanlewin, Nesis, Ruimugange, and the Featherless One are all collections of pure faith without entities.
This is also the reason why Yicha does not call existences such as Lanlewin gods. Yicha is a deconstructive theist and an energy scholar. He will interpret it from the perspective of energy flow, not from the religious aspect.
If you don't strictly adhere to the concept, you can call them pan-plane gods, because the scope of their belief source is pan-plane.
The same goes for titles like "Saint of Joy" and "Hand of Destruction". They are single-race gods on this plane.
Strictly speaking, these divine titles are not equivalent to the incarnation itself, but believers generally cannot realize this level, and often lump them together with the incarnation, collectively calling them XX gods. It is often called this for convenience of description.
The strength of "god" is only related to the strength of the collection of faith.
The strength of the belief set is closely related to the scope, density of believers, universality and urgency of the belief.
Incarnation——
Gods usually have corresponding incarnations.
Incarnations are instances of God and must have a physical form. And this entity must be a single individual.
The avatar can be any pre-existing concrete creature. The process by which God becomes incarnated is called "Advent."
The incarnation has the full scope of divine power. But the strength of the incarnation, in addition to the strength of God's faith, is also related to the strength of the incarnation itself, the degree of acceptance, and the completeness of its advent and execution.
Hikisi and Ifo are all incarnations. They have the entity types and characteristics of normal concrete creatures.
The process of the "hand of destruction" coming is similar to lightning ('becoming a god', that is, incarnation.)
Ifomni, adjusts itself as the closest receiving point to direct the lightning. After the descent is completed, he will have the corresponding set of faith as a source of power. That is, "becoming a god".
The most common way to become a god is the "Happy Holy Maiden" Hikis. It is a bottom-up way to become a god by beguiling believers and concentrating their faith. What Ivo destroys is from the top down (this is the brilliance of Solena).
Sariel is also an incarnation, but the situation is different. He comes through the featherless one triggered by the miracle of Seraph. Very special and difficult to reproduce.
The connection is seamless, close to "full advent."
Therefore, he inherited the history, knowledge, and complete will of the Featherless One. Therefore, at present, Sariel can almost be equated with the featherless one. (If his divine power is the same as that of a featherless person, his memory is the same as that of a featherless person, and his current thoughts are the same as those of a featherless person, then it is difficult for him not to be a featherless person.)
Most individuals who know the inside story believe that Icha is the incarnation of "Shepherd" Nesis.
This is what Sariel and the "Shadow of Conspiracy" think.
apostle--
Both avatars and gods can lend their powers to apostles for use.
Apostles are executors of divine power. They have some of the power that they have been given.
They are who they are, just with extra powers. Similar to the ability granted by Ifomie to Nese's Apostle of Destruction, it does not change him much.
They are less restricted and freer than the Avatar, but their power is limited in degree and scope. And avatars and gods can control or take back this part of their power.
A powerful incarnation brought by a powerful god can give the corresponding apostle terrifying power, which is no worse than a weaker incarnation.
In a broad sense, this powerful apostle may also be called "god". After all, the difference between these two is difficult for believers to discover directly.
(The above is from the article "Shen Flow - The Study and Application of Faith" that Ichaint will one day write)

The third volume is a groping volume. Changed the writing.
This is most evident in The Spying Devil and Bloody Noon.
Overall, this volume intentionally reduces the length of psychological activities, descriptions of feelings, and pure settings, and shifts its content more to dialogue and story narration. The author has experienced a significant reduction in the number of episodes of unintelligible illness (I think).
(The bracketing of subconscious mental activity was inspired by the influence of Stephen King.)
(I find this expression very useful when there are two levels of mental activity)
After a few days of rest, I will open the fourth volume~
