Mythology: Spiritual Ruler

On Mount Odile, another eight years passed.

When everything was ready, the first real war of gods broke out in Chaos with the order of the God King.

The war was fought in the name of the God of Weather and the God of Sun for the ownership of the Star God. The God King just stood on the top of the God Mountain and released his power from afar. So except for the family of the God of Sun, no other gods went to help Hyperion.

Even the two sea gods were just silent spectators.

In stark contrast to the short war of gods that only lasted for seven days, it was easy for gods with medium or higher powers to distinguish the superiority, but it was difficult to distinguish the victory or defeat. Unless there was a crushing gap, they would not end the battle in a short time.

So when the Mother of Light was held back by the God of Celestial Bodies and his wife, the battle faced by the Queen of Gods and the God of Weather became protracted. Being in the starry sky, with similar levels of divine power, the power of the God of Sun was extraordinary. Even if Kronos gave the sickle that had hurt the Father of Heaven to Rhea, they still had to fight for several years before they could temporarily force Hyperion back.

After all, this post-natal high-level artifact has the greatest damage to [Sky], the second most to the God King, and has no effect on [Earth].

Facing the Sun God, it can indeed make up for Rhea's weakness in fighting, but that's all.

The battle between the main gods lasted for a long time, and the gap in the number of true gods became obvious.

Compared with the few true gods in the Sun God family, the three ash tree goddesses beside Rhea, the other three of the four wind gods, the gradually growing sky-breaker Atlas, and even the second and third sons of Crius who were born not long ago, all shined in this battle of gods.

In the first one or two hundred years of the battle, because of Hyperion's strength, the overall situation was still in a stalemate, but as the power of the new generation of gods gradually increased, the balance of victory and defeat began to tilt towards the God King.

Although it is difficult to completely occupy most of the starry sky without thousands of years due to the vastness of the starry sky and the frequency of battles every few years, the result of the war is already foreseeable.

Star fields changed hands one after another, and the star gods whose bodies were in these star fields also changed sides. If there were no changes, it seemed that Hyperion was doomed.

At the same time, on the sea, the relationship between the two sea gods also took a sharp turn for the worse.

Two hundred years after the war in the starry sky, the short honeymoon period ended. Although several daughters of Nereus, the gentle sea, were born one after another, the war of gods still broke out in the sea.

Unlike the starry sky, the Ocean God and his wife had an absolute upper hand from the beginning. Even with the help of the God of Mountains, Pontos still lost three battles.

A large number of unowned sea areas were taken under the control of the Ocean God. As long as he could digest them in thousands of years and incorporate them into his duties, these sea areas that appeared with the expansion of the world would help him move towards the peak of powerful divine power.

However, as the sea god and the earth god who are best at recovery and long-term battles, a war on the sea takes longer than the starry sky, and often lasts for decades. In addition, although the Earth Mother did not intervene, she still lent out the [Life Bottle], so the war is still unlikely to end in a short period of time.

For hundreds of years, the collision of divine power has occurred one after another on the earth, in the sky, and in the ocean. Many creatures on Chaos were accidentally injured and killed. The scattered humans did not understand why, and they thought that it was the gods who were angry, so they worshiped more devoutly, but few gods cared about them at this time.

When the creatures died, their souls also followed the traction of the dark, drifted into the underworld, or came to the ocean, and returned to the embrace of the spirit world.

In such an environment, after seven hundred years, the first god transformed by the spirit world finally appeared.

······

In the depths of the Land of Eternal Night, in a two-story wooden house, Ryan brewed a pot of black tea for himself and quietly watched the final changes of the embryo of the God of Sleep.

Of course, it is not appropriate to call it an ‘embryo’ now. The originally white sleeping flower was magnified thousands of times, and the petals that covered the sky and the sun also had some mysterious dark golden lines. Faintly, a faint fragrance came from the pistil, which made people feel drowsy when they smelled it.

Around the big flower, a series of shadows that were not real or real were looming. They seemed to be the companions of the flower, and there was a strange connection between the two.

"How long will it take?"

"Just in these two days."

Taking a sip of tea, Ryan did not expect that this transformation took so long.

And in his original estimate, the embryo of the sleeping god was likely to become an evil thing similar to [Sun Devourer] [Uncertain Mist], but obviously, the result was not the case.

After being accepted by the spirit world, although this god embryo also absorbed a little chaotic source power, perhaps because it was bred by the world in the way of orthodox gods at the beginning, it quickly rejected the power of chaos.

At this moment, most of the embryo is still orderly. This means that it will come to the world as a god.

"After being transformed by your spirit world, its breath seems to have become a little strange."

Nyx frowned slightly, and was a little unsure of the situation.

The feeling of the divine embryo in front of her was different from that of the Chaos gods. It seemed to have a little breath similar to Tartarus.

Although it was not obvious, she would never make a mistake.

"It is indeed a little strange."

Ryan nodded. He felt this special breath more clearly.

If you must say it, it has a bit of "born evil" meaning.

"I thought it would become a new ancient evil creature, and I even named it [Eternal Night Dream]. But now it seems that it is more appropriate to call it an evil god."

"It has relatively complete wisdom, unlike the evil creatures with confused thinking, but because it has been exposed to some chaotic power, its emotions are also weaker than ordinary creatures."

"Secular morality, rules, and order are just tools for it. Perhaps only power can make it a little more peaceful."

Concentrating slightly, sensing the godhead that has condensed in the embryo in front of him, Ryan said slowly.

Condensing the godhead instead of directly merging with the source power means that it is already a true god.

Although direct contact with the source power will bring stronger power, for gods, whether they hold power in a rational state is the only criterion for judging true gods.

"There are indeed many secrets of the gods. Even as the Lord of the Spirit World, I only know the problems involving the source power and the body of the god, but I don't know why."

Shaking his head, Ryan knew that this was because his own power level was not enough.

If he were a great god, he would definitely be able to analyze many mysteries of the essence of gods by controlling the spirit world. But now, he can only verify his conjectures little by little in practice.

"Even with the help of the body, I don't know much about the essence of gods, so don't think too much."

Nyx did not expect Ryan's idea.

Apart from anything else, the reason why gods are "immortal" is that no existence can interpret it.

"It's started!"

After another half a day, in the casual chat, the last step of the birth of the evil god finally arrived.

The huge petals began to close, and the mysterious power was gestating. But perhaps because of the influence of the spirit world, the vision of the birth of the gods did not appear in the entire Chaos, and only the land of eternal night responded to it.

The power of the night floated over, and then turned into petals falling all over the sky. Under the shining of the stars, there is a different kind of beauty.

Ryan could feel that the originally hazy consciousness in the embryo began to become clear. As a god bred by the Land of Eternal Night and the Spirit World, it will be born with knowledge like the Twelve Titans, rather than growing up slowly from a baby.

Time slowly passed until a certain moment, accompanied by an invisible force that made all beings fall asleep and dream, the petals opened again, and a young god with wings on his back squatted in the middle with his hands on his knees.

His eyes and hair color are black, but the wings behind him are light gray. On his body, a cloth transformed from divine power wrapped around his body, which is a unique way of dressing in the world of Chaos.

Hypnos, the god of sleep, is just different from the gentle gods in the original mythology. As the lord of the spirit world, Ryan can clearly feel the true emotions of the god in front of him.

The kind of indifference hidden under the appearance, "Except me, everything is empty."
