You're on the path to divinity. This path is rife of struggle and trials.
You start with a shrine and only a shrine, this shrine being able to be placed anywhere you'd like. This shrine is your place of worship, where people can bring gifts and offerings.
When someone gives your shrine an offering, you gain knowledge of that person and how much the offering is worth for them and you. A person of wealth giving you 5$ would be the equivalent of a poor person giving you pocket change.
Thoughts and feelings, too, can affect this. A treasurer finding you worthy of the treasure they have, even if they have thousands of treasures, will be more worthwhile than a person carelessly giving you the same treasure.
With that in mind, you can give minor blessings in accordance to these offerings, dependent on how much the offering was valued.
The closer you are to true Divinity, the more powerful your blessings can be. Blessings are still reliant on offerings to begin with, but eventually you will not need them. As it is, your shrine needs those offerings for you to bless anyone, and your blessings start off only being, at most, minor.
Worship can strengthen you, but the boosts are temporary. Accolades can increase your speed of growth to ascend into divinity, taking it from centuries to decades. Or, if the feats are great enough and recognized globally, into a matter of years. The path of divinity is difficult, but you have the first gateway to find it using what you have.
