Myth: The Ruler of Spirituality

```

For the vast majority of beings in the Material Realm, the domains above the second layer of the Spirit Realm were unknown.

Even for those Faith Gods who elevated their Divine Kingdoms to the fifth layer of the Spirit Realm, they rarely knew much about the preceding layers.

Especially the Dream Spirit Realm; no one knew how many dangers lurked within that interface formed by the dreams and chaotic chronology.

For thousands of years, more than one deity had attempted to develop faith and establish a divine kingdom there, but without exception, they all paid a price.

Gradually, it came to be regarded as an exclusive forbidden zone.

No one dared approach anymore, except for Ande.

After all, the answers he sought were there, so for centuries, he had been relentlessly searching for a way to reach the deepest part of the Spirit Realm.

Although he ultimately failed due to the constraints of his own strength, it wasn't without any gain.

At least he was able to confirm that the "path" to the core of the Spirit Realm should truly exist, and during this period, Ande also learned many things unknown to outsiders.

The so-called Hypnos Pen was one of them.

"In other words, Ande, is 'Hypnos' the name of a god?"

He didn't know when the God of West Wind would arrange the next task, but Heracles was determined to visit Silver Moon City.

However, what Ande said before piqued his curiosity, a deity at the pinnacle of the true gods... It should be a great god comparable to the Goddess of Wisdom, Athena.

"But how come I've never heard of his existence? Such a deity, even if not part of Olympus, shouldn't be so obscure."

"There are many powerful deities in this world who are unknown; it's not strange that you've never heard of one."

He said casually, though Ande did admit that among those powerful deities, Hypnos indeed was the most obscure.

"He was the deity who governed sleep and a descendant born of the Spirit Realm and the power of the Eternal Night."

"The Eternal Night bestowed peace upon him, whereas Spirituality gifted him with dreams."

"According to legend, this ancient God of Sleep wielded power that no deity could escape from; even a being comparable to the King of All Gods would, in an unguarded moment, be influenced by his power and fall into slumber."

"Thus, the great will of the Spirit Realm designated the third layer of the Spirit Realm as his domain, and he became even more arrogant... Of course, this also fueled his ambitions." Find more to read at My Virtual Library Empire

"I see."

Heracles nodded slightly, even without hearing the rest, he could guess.

Every Divine King throughout history was like this, merely a rebellion, except this deity named Hypnos did not succeed, leaving behind only a divine artifact to witness his glory.

However, the God of Sleep… Vaguely, Heracles had an intuition that he might find slumber to be useful in his future trials.

Although he was confident that his strength was unmatched, that confidence only applied to the Mortal World.

Not to mention the future possibility of going to the Spirit Realm, even the Underworld and the stars had power levels beyond demigod.

In such places, no one dared claim invincibility. Heracles was confident but not an arrogant lunatic.

"So, Ande, do you know where this banished God of Sleep went? Or, is there anything in this world that contains his power?"

"I don't know about that. Even within the Spirit Realm, few beings understand his whereabouts."

Shrugging, Ande admitted his ignorance.

However, after pondering for a while, he provided another answer.

"I naturally don't know the true whereabouts of the God of Sleep, Hypnos, but I do know of a place where something containing his power exists."

"Where?"

Instinctively, Heracles asked, then realized he was no longer alone.

Heracles turned to look at the young man named Amon, but Amon, who noticed his movement, just smiled at him, seemingly unaware of what had been said.

"It should be in the Eternal Night land of the Underworld."

"That place wraps the domain of the Underworld and is also the essence of the primordial god, an eternally peaceful holy land."

Without regard for Heracles' actions, Ande's voice grew solemn.

"The Mother of Night resides here, and it's said that the God of Sleep was also born here."

"In those ancient times, Hypnos walked out from there and never returned."

"However, in the place of his birth, his power must have remained."

"I see, the Eternal Night land, huh..."

Learning something more, Heracles nodded silently. However, seeing his reaction, Ande immediately warned him.

"Don't overthink it. Just because I told you doesn't mean you can go there."

"The Eternal Night land is unlike anywhere else; it's a forbidden zone for all humans and gods on Earth. Even the King of All Gods on Mount Olympus would not dare tread there lightly."

"Though you may seem strong, you are nothing there. Unless you find the correct path, you have no business there."

"The correct path, what is that?"

Heracles pressed further, and Ande casually responded, "The correct path... I'm not exactly sure myself."

"But nothing is absolute. Even the domain of the primordial god is the same. It is said that in the Eternal Night land, there exists the one correct path, also known as the legendary Path of Nyx."

"Following this path, you can avoid ninety percent of the threats there. Beyond that, anyone or god entering the Eternal Night land essentially faces death."
