Chapter 143 Continuation of Creation

"Yes."

"I am no exception."

The root deity of the sky responded.

"I have received too many honors in my life. You all think that I am a latecomer, but I am not, you are."

"But you call me the first latecomer."

"But I am not. I am the root of the sky, the creation of Gaia, the earth god."

"I was born to be great. But I didn't understand until now that the title of the latecomer is not my glory, but my hypocrisy, my competitive spirit, and my shackles."

"Although I was weak when I was born, I will surely become great. Because I am the creation of Gaia, I am Uranus, and I am the opposite of the earth—the sky!"

"Maybe I have never been weak at all, but I dreamed of getting the honor of being a latecomer."

"Now, I see it all."

"So you want to exchange? Vulcan..."

"In exchange for what?" Hephaestus asked.

Uranus pondered. "In exchange for my past, the secrets you got from chaos, and the maps of those fallen worlds."

Hades must have told him.

Hephaestus looked at Uranus, rubbed his fingers, and made a rustling sound: "Chaos stretches without boundaries, it is mysterious and unknown. Your past is limited, and this exchange is not equal."

"But I changed."

As Hephaestus spoke, he took out a silver cup out of thin air, and tipped the golden pot to fill himself with rose-colored wine.He raised his glass to signal Uranus, and drank it down.

"Respect you."

"You primitive ancient gods are all giants, and so are you. I respect your giant's mind."

Uranus turned the silver cup in his hand, staring straight at the engraved pattern on the silver cup.Hearing this, he laughed at himself: "It's not a mind."

"Although I have the power of a god, I am a mortal at heart. This is why Gaia conceived me."

"She has decided my destiny since I was born, and I am destined to be devoured by her and become the food for her to return to the highest level."

"I'm always groping and resisting. The only difference between me and ordinary people is that I succeed and they fail."

"So I am the original god king, and they are the undead of the underworld."

"The road to becoming a king is bound to be accompanied by disputes, tricks, conspiracy and blood in the dark night."

Uranus talked too much today. Hephaestus threw the golden pot of wine to him, and he caught it firmly, filled himself with fine wine and drank it down in one gulp.

He drank too fast, and a little wine dripped from the corner of his mouth.

He simply stretched out his hand to wipe it, only to realize that Hephaestus on the opposite side was staring at him.

He smiled freely: "This is my original face. I am the original god king, and I am also an abandoned son who ascended to the throne."

"Don't worry, I only put my mind to tricks and tricks, and in equal exchanges, I have always been the most fair."

"Even Themis, who is in charge of the concept of justice, will never be as determined as me."

"It won't hurt you."

As Uranus spoke, he walked towards the threshold of the temple, and his absent eyes fell on the beautiful coastline of Lemnos Island.The distant sea area of ​​Lemnos Island is a vast void, which swallows the infinite sea water and blocks the power of the ocean from Lemnos Island.

Anyone watching this scene must stop.It is not only a stunning scene created by a god in the human world, but also all the concepts of the god's observation and perception of the world-returning to nothingness, but returning to the road in the mist.If the world itself is a cycle, what is the meaning of the endless cycle?Is it to maintain the status quo, or is it accumulating the power to disperse the void?

Uranus, with his back to Hephaestus, sat on the threshold, staring into the distance.

But the order in his words was exceptionally clear.

"Now, listen, let me tell you the stories of those old days."

"That was not long after the world opened up, when life was sprouting."

"The original gods were conceived by the world one by one, and Gaia fell from the supreme throne."

"Things should have developed like this, continuing the fate of those fallen worlds in the eternal years."

"But when Eros was born, everything seemed to be an accident. The rest of the original people still don't know what the source of Eros's symbol and the authority it holds."

"When he was born, he was like an ignorant lunatic, chanting a name all the time - Chaos!"

"When his sanity was a little clearer, he also called Chaos Chaos. At that time, we still couldn't understand what Chaos meant, but now we know that it is the "land" that carries the world outside the world."

"After a long period of time, Eros was finally fully awake. He began to call Chaos Chaos, and no longer expressed other meanings. He seemed to be really awake, thinking that Chaos is the "land" that carries the world outside the world."

"But as one of the two people who watched Eros conceived and born little by little, Gaia always believed that the Chaos Chaos that Eros chanted when he was ignorant had a specific point. It should be the name of a god, yes The first god in the true sense of the world."

"She wanted to find the man, so she prayed wildly to him."

"But... she actually succeeded..."

"In the chaos, give her the vase that gave birth to life."

"Hephaestus, can you believe it? Gaia attributed the coincidence to another god, but she herself was the original god."

"And then there's Gaia's story."

"In order to find Chaos and get close to him, Gaia wants to return to the Supreme even in her dreams."

"She created me out of the vase of life - her opposite."

"She treats me like a dead thing, just to fulfill herself."

"But I am not a dead thing! I have a will of my own, I am a god!"

"I spent a long time fighting with her, accumulating strength, and then confronting her. I succeeded, and I became her husband."

"That's what's going on today."

"But the truth of the matter is not like this. Your ancestor Cronus is not actually my child, nor are his brothers and sisters. I, he, them, we are all life bottles in the hands of Gaia creation."

"And you, Hephaestus, you are the continuation of creation, the heir conceived by the descendants of creation."

"At least... I used to think so."

"But now it seems that my vision is narrow. We were born in the past. What matters is the name, not our tortuous life. It doesn't matter how we were born."

"However, just for me, for you and Hades, this process is very important."

"You should have been conceived by the world itself, and then born into the world through a mother's womb."

"But your mother's womb is just a creation, just like... me."

"After passing the aquarium that conceives life, you will be connected by it. Life after life, your children and grandchildren will always be the continuation of creation."

"This connection is the rule of the vase of life itself. It engraves your name on its body and makes your name a part of it."

"Although I don't know what the consequences of this connection are, I have already taken my name away."

"And you, all the descendants of Cronus, the continuation of creation, have not yet..."

"My story is over, I didn't let you down."
