Myth: The Spiritual Dominator

Crossing the earth, Iapitus came to the underworld.

Although strictly speaking, [Underworld] is also part of [Earth] at this time, but perhaps because it is tightly wrapped by the four ancient creation gods, it feels like a world of its own.

No matter where you enter the underworld, whether it is the bottom of the ocean or the center of the earth, unless it is a time-space jump similar to the 'spiritual world shuttle', everyone will first appear on the edge of the underworld, and one place will be three-headed in the future. The place guarded by Cerberus the dog.

Behind the door is the River of Pain, Acheron, and on both sides are the edges of the Land of Eternal Night and the Lightless Realm. No matter who wants to enter the underworld, there is only one way to cross the river.

Of course, there is no portal to the underworld at this time, and the River of Pain has not yet been born.

Carefully avoiding the realm of the two ancient creation gods, the God of Speech stepped onto the gray plain. Only one of the five great rivers of Styx in later generations has existed, and that is the River Styx which conceptually 'circles the underworld seven times', but actually connects the present world with one end and goes deep into Tartarus with the other.

Iapetus stopped here, nodded slightly in the direction of the River of Oaths, and then waited for a while.

As expected, some time passed and he received no response. But the God of Speech was not angry and just continued flying to the center of the underworld.

As the goddess in charge of the laws of Chaos [Oath], Styx has come to the underworld alone since her birth. Even her father, Oceanus God Lord Oceanus rarely sees her, so she is one of the few gods who has not visited 'Legislation'.

But despite this, the God of Speech still dare not ignore the other party easily. When Styx took over the power of [Oath] devolved from the world, she became one of the few gods in Chaos who could increase the strength of her priesthood on her own.

Witnessing God's oath can bring her the power of the world. And punishing the gods who break their oaths can gain additional benefits. This enhancement may have its limits, and the growth is very slow, but at least so far, Iapetus's knowledge cannot see where its upper limit is.

Feeling a little envious in his heart, the God of Speech quickly passed over the gray plain and flew straight towards the dark moon in the sky.

As a weak god, Iapitus does not fly very fast.

But before leaving, Cronus and the four wind gods gave him temporary blessings, allowing him to quickly travel between the sacred mountains and the underworld. So on the third day after leaving Mount Odiles, he came to the dark moon.

According to Lady Justice, the Dark Moon is the official gateway to the abode of the Lord of the Spirit World. Just call him here and he will receive the visiting gods.

"Dear Your Highness Ryan, I am Iapetus, the God of Speech."

"According to the command of the God King, I come with the request of the gods. I hope you can meet me."

Facing the dark moon that seemed so close but actually untouchable, Iapitus said respectfully.

Unlike other Titans, the God of Speech has no airs. He has now completely put himself in the position of a 'messenger' and does not intend to say a single unnecessary word.

Convey the meaning of the gods truthfully, and then go to the sacred mountain to reply. This is what he wants to do. As for using the priesthood to influence Ryan's decision-making, that is impossible.

He came for the benefit of the gods, not just for himself. When he becomes the God King, he will come to 'serve the gods' again.

"The god of speech?"

After waiting for a while, a strange female voice came from beside Ming Yue.

Iapetus looked around and saw a goddess in a black dress appearing silently in front of him.

The goddess in front of her has wings on her back, and the silver-white wings are shining with seven different brilliance. A faint aura of divine power lingers around the body. This is a god who is close to the limit of weak divine power.

In his heart, the God of Speech knew that according to the instructions of Lady Justice, this was the goddess Lyanna who was in charge of the underworld on behalf of the Lord of the Spirit World.

Themis advised Iapetus not to despise the other party, even though she often regarded herself as a servant of Ryan, but the God of Speech felt that the reminder of the Goddess of Justice was completely unnecessary.

Just kidding, the premise of contempt is a sense of psychological superiority, but the reality is that without taking action, Iapitus knows that he can't beat the opponent at all - although the difference in divine power is not much, [Pluto Moon] is not [Speech] Comparable.

So the next moment, he expressed his respect without hesitation.

"Your Highness Lyanna, the goddess of the moon who always shines on the underworld, your beauty is amazing."

"I obeyed the requests of the gods and came here to visit the Lord of the Spirit World and ask him for the secrets of creation. I also ask you to guide me."

Nodding, Lyanna accepted the tribute from the gods in front of her, but she had no intention of opening the portal to the spirit world.

Today's Ryan is not the god of prophecy before who could not predict anything. Not long after he returned to the spirit world, he had already felt the rhythm of fate.

Although he never actively observes his own destiny, as a symbol of uncertain destiny and an observer of destiny, Ryan can always get more or less some revelations from destiny. The closer an event is to him and the lower the level of power involved, the higher the probability and clarity of revelation.

Undoubtedly, in the trajectory of destiny, the birth of creatures on the earth is extremely important, and the participation of 'soul' in it is high enough, so Ryan naturally foresees Iapetus's visit.

"The Lord already knows your purpose," Lyanna said calmly, facing the gaze of the God of Speech: "Simply creating a body is not enough to make living beings intelligent. Living beings also need souls to carry thoughts and memories. .”

"The Lord can give souls to all things, but it is up to you to figure out how to shape the body."

After the words fell, Lyanna quietly waited for the answer. As she said, Lane had no interest in participating in the preparation of creation. Although he also looks forward to life, he is only willing to give souls, and at most he can witness the birth of a golden human being in person.

Anyway, the first generation of life has no ability to reproduce and will eventually die.The gods simply wanted to create retainers and pets, not a species that could perpetuate itself.

Even when he created humans, he actually had more of an idea of ​​testing his conjectures. After all, humans in the Golden Age were actually quite different from what he understood as "human beings".

With a lifespan of thousands of years, an appearance that will not change when he is born and will not change when he dies, and as if he has been stamped with thoughts, he only has devout beliefs and positive emotions. Apart from the similarity in appearance, this kind of life is actually very different from Ryan. There is nothing resembling a human being.

Even from the perspective of 'human nature', the gods of Chaos at this time are far closer to the 'human beings' in Ryan's understanding than the mortals in the Golden and Silver Ages.
