God's Rebirth

All the gods in heaven disappeared.
But a single god who remained on earth lived. This was the God of law, Folset, who guarded the gate that blocked the Heavenly Path.
Winning the war against the gods, the humans wnated the wisdom and power of the gods for themselves, storming Morrigu Barrow and demanding that Folset invite them in to the realm of the gods. But Folset refused to grant them entry.
At first, the humans pointed their weapons at Folset and demanded he open the gate. But Folset answered thus: "Do whatever you wish. There is no way any of your weapons can harm me." The humans followed his words and tried to attack Folset in any way they coudl, but they were unable ot harm even a single hair on his head.
Once they learned that force was hopeless, they tried to convince him to open the gates by seducing him with gifts.
After seeing the gifts, Folset said: "Build a mountain of gifts for me if you wish. I'll make a mountain twice that size in an instant." Before Folset even finished completing his sentence, a mountain of gifts more lavish than the gifts of the humans sprang up before their eyes.
After learnign that both force and flattery were of no avail, the humans got on their knees and begged pathetically.
"If a power greater than the Shadow shoudl emrge, we would fall into ruin. But if we could regain the wisdom and power that lies beyon this gat,e we would be able to protect ourselves and not fight on another. So please, open the gate."
Folset laughed and answered them: "Was it not you who took up sword and shield and slew the gods? You shoudl suffer for your sins."
Protesting, the humans replied, "So are you saying that we shoudl have simply allowed the gods ot drive us all to extinction?"
Folset shook his head and answered: "Recall first the sins that you commited. Is it not just that sinners receive judgment?"
To this, the humans could make no reply. Folset continued to speak: 
"But all beings have the right to atone for their sins. Human! Child of sin! If you want this gate opened, then bring back the lost gods. The gods will rise again, born from the dogma of believers. If they are true gods, then I will open this gate. Bring back what has been lost, and only then can you be pardoned.
And so the humans argued over the Gods' Rebirth and once again made war against each other.
