It's still ongoing, it's on what should be the last volume supposedly.

It's not really a spoiler, because it was mentioned in the beginning of the story. The first-generation hero of that world completed the trials of the Seven Pillar Gods in that world, and as a reward he was invited to the Divine Realm where he was made a subordinade god by those seven gods. So, it's an established concept that a human can be a made into a god, or what Satou calls "Divine Ascension" if they wish it. This is why Satou wasn't worried about the 100 children thing, because he knew there was "more than one way to the finish line".

Basically, the entirity of Volume 16 of the WN is him doing those same trials, so he can get an audience with the gods and possibly see how he could become a god. Although things don't quite go to plan, there is actually a possibility for him to become a god in Volume 17 of the WN, however, it's just a question of whether Satou himself as noticed it or not.

As a reader, you can put together the requirement, but it would seem Satou hasn't quite yet noticed. Incidentally, it's explained that the reason humans normally can't become gods is because their Soul Vessal, which houses fragments of divinity cannot sustain the divinity, house enough frangments/authorities and you can become a demi-god/subordinate god. This means that a person needs a method to expand their soul vessal to achieve true godhood. To basically, if Satou has a means to expand his soul vessal and house a the right amount of divinity, he will become a "True God". At which point he would be qualified to marry Aze, in fact, Aze would technically be his subordinate, so she would not be in a position to require anything else from him to marry her. Not that Satou would force himself on her, though.
