I dunno. Maybe there's like explicit No Destruction Zones that can't be destroyed even if one were to try.

I've always operated under the assumption that the medieval sect mortals are aware of/actively worship the deities. The modern sect thinks of them the same way we do with Greek mythology-- most people brush it off as myth, but there's a few people here and there who know who they are and worship them, and deities try to fly under the radar there. I also kind of figured that magic takes a back seat in the modern sect, and that most people don't practice it/ know it exists, but that could just be me projecting Earth stuff onto it depending on how magical we *actually* want the general population to be. Future sect knows deities exist but they aren't really considered higher beings, and magic and industry are very reliant on each other.
