Myth: The Ruler of Spirituality

Chapter 2: Chapter 2: The Day of the God's Birth

The deities of Chaos were divided into rankings of strength and weakness.

According to the laws of the world, the gods of this realm were generally classified into four tiers.

Laine, for instance, embodied the typical Weak Divine Power.

And the Primordial Sea God Pontus was born with Moderate Divine Power, later growing into a being of great strength.

As for the Primordial Gods, they were even more magnificent than those with great divine power before their consciousnesses were born, but after becoming conscious, they were only about half a tier higher. ƒгeewёbnovel.com

"Hum—"

The humming of the laws resounded once again, and as Laine looked toward the ocean, the anomaly of the Chaos World persisted.

The moisture in the air condensed once more, shaking the recently stabilized godhood of Pontus.

The godhood of natural-born deities couldn't be taken away by the later generations, but the world that nurtured them was an exception.

Apart from the Spirituality that Laine had condensed from his own soul, the world itself could retract all power.

Of course, apart from when nurturing new gods, the unconscious world wouldn't interfere too much with the deities either.

"Luckily I arrived early. If the five great Primordial Gods had already been born with consciousness, I suppose my Spirituality godhood would have also become the world's possession."

Shaking his head, Laine continued to watch this century's epic unfold.

The condensation of water vapor continued, and Oceanus, who had just been born, exhibited the same symptoms.

Both gods, who shared dominion over the sea, lost part of their authority at the same moment, which was the aspect of their godhood related to pure Water.

The world's laws vibrated, and all existing deities understood the implicit meaning.

Thaesis, the God of the Primordial Waters, another ancient Titan had been born!

With the consecutive births of two water-related deities, the power of the world began to shift from the sea to the sky.

Laine felt that the next Titan would be born there.

"Pontus was just a little short of maintaining his Intermediate Divine Power."

"Even so, he could still beat me with one hand tied behind his back."

With a resigned smile, Laine turned his gaze toward the sky.

The combat strength of a deity was not only related to their Divine Power Level but also to their authority. Fire God and God of Spring may have similar divine powers, yet their combat abilities were vastly different.

But unquestionably, even if Pontus's authority wasn't the best for battle, it was certainly much stronger than mere Spirituality.

After all, pure Spirituality was like physical strength— it seems useful, but it isn't very.

"Hum—"

After waiting for a while, as if it had recovered its energy, the world's laws became active once more.

This time, the Chaos World directly birthed two Ancient Gods and a brand-new celestial body.

After thousands of years, Laine once again saw the Sun in the sky.

Gazing at the sky, that new celestial body radiated light and heat, and the origin power of the entire world increased in an instant.

Hyperion, the original Sun!

Theia, Mother of Light, God of Eyesight!

As the world's origin power rose, even though Laine was just an insignificant God of Spirit, his power also increased.

The special Spirituality godhood did have its advantages—he wouldn't be blamed for the world's decline, but he could profit from its strengthening.

If classified according to the levels Laine himself had detailed, this wave had likely moved him from Divine Power Level 2 to Divine Power Level 3.

If he could ascend three more times, he would be able to shed his status as a deity with "Weak Divine Power" and be promoted to become one with "Intermediate Divine Power," at the Divine Power Level of 6.

This detailed division was not innately present in the Chaos World, but rather a classification entirely fabricated by Laine, which helped him to measure the varied strengths of the divine powers among deities.

Just like now, as the world as a whole ascended, Pontus, who had been teetering on Divine Power Level 11, finally regained some strength and stabilized his power.

"Om——"

The humming noise began again. The laws of the world did not stall for the will of a single god; the Source Sea churned once more.

Soon, three consecutive tremors of the laws announced the birth of three new deities to the world.

In an instant, storms swept across the land, and numerous lightless celestial bodies appeared in the sky, a manifestation of the authority of two deities.

The third deity followed her sister's path, partitioning a portion of the light from her newly born sister, Theia, and siphoning some power from the sun.

Coeus, God of Celestial Bodies!

Crius, God of Meteorology!

Phoebe (Phoebe), God of Luminance!

The emergence of the three new gods caused a rise in the world's Source Power, but the extent was not as prominent as when the sun appeared.

However, although his divine power had not increased, Laine still felt a new power gestating within his body.

This force had been present since the moment the first Titan came into being. With each new birth, it grew more substantial.

Finally, it had become perceptible.

"Very good!"

Seeing his expectations realized, and despite this being the change he had long awaited, Laine could not help but smile.

Fortunately, this was not the era of King Zeus's reign; in these dark ages, there was still much he could achieve.

"I must at least try hard not to end up a weakling in the future. It's a minor issue if others look down on me, but a major one if Zeus takes an interest."

He couldn't help but shiver at the thought of the gods of later generations, who did not differentiate by gender or race. The determination to become stronger solidified even more in Laine's mind.

In this regard, at least, Uranus was quite trustworthy. Apart from Gaia, he took interest in no one else, and his twelve children seemed to have inherited his fine tradition.

"Hmm?"

He was clearly engrossed in watching the 'big picture,' yet he suddenly recalled the past. Laine refocused his mind and instantly sensed the source of the influence.

Two new deities were born, one after another, their powers leaning towards the domain of the spirit, hence the active laws affected Laine's psyche.

Mnemosyne, originally the goddess of memory, speech, and innate script, but until her name spread throughout the world according to the law, the godhood of memory still had not emerged.

Iapetus, God of Souls and Speech, similarly, for some reason, the aspect of his soul seemed to have vanished without a trace.

Regarding this, Laine said this is not my responsibility to bear, although it was indeed my doing.

"Fortunately, I was not exposed earlier. Otherwise, Iapetus might not have been too much of a concern, but Mnemosyne would probably have been brought by Mother Earth to my doorstep by now."

He breathed a sigh of relief, feeling extremely fortunate for his previous actions.

The soul and spirituality are two sides of the same coin and have already become a part of him. Memory, being subordinate to the soul, could not be attained as a godhood by anyone without his permission.

If he were a deity naturally nurtured by the Chaos World, he either would have had his authority torn apart like Pontus or have already become a sub-god for one of those two new deities.

However, his Godhood of Spirit stemmed from his own creation; he was the God of Origin for spirituality, the first soul to appear in this world, hence the world could do nothing against him—unless it killed him outright.

But killing a God of Origin was tantamount to annihilating the authority it represented, and spirituality would likewise vanish from the world, never again to birth souls in the Chaos World.

Therefore, Chaos, acting purely on instinct, ignored the divine authority of the soul and memory, and directly allowed the birth of two new deities.
