Chapter 93 Reproduction
Chapter 93 Reproduction
Not far from the Oracle of Delphi, the big yellow snake twisted and transformed, transforming into a handsome god again.
Regardless of their character, the gods of Chaos are indeed handsome in appearance and handsome in female, and each has his or her own sense of beauty.
Like the sun god Hyperion, he is masculine and beautiful, just like his priesthood. The ocean god Oceanus is rugged and beautiful, with strong muscles but not boring. They were all tall, but not awkward at all.
Cronus, the god-king, gives the impression of majesty and solemnity, not to mention Atlas, the god of strength, who looks like a brave hero in myths and legends.
Or rather, a hero should look like him.
As for Iapetus, the god of speech, he, like his eldest son Prometheus, feels weak. But the aura belonging to the gods reminds everyone who sees his existence that he is by no means powerless.
Slowly walking forward, until he saw a hut made of natural plants in the distance, the God of Speech stopped. Vaguely, Iapitus could feel that there was a breath of life behind the house.
That is not Mother Earth, because on the earth, it is difficult for ordinary people to distinguish the difference between Gaia and the earth. So no surprise, it is the first plant in the world, the golden apple tree that is said to possess part of the [life] power and symbolizes the [plant] itself.
"Iapetus, come to say hello to you, Mother Goddess."
He stroked his chest and bowed, and the God of Speech greeted him respectfully.
".Greetings, but I don't say hello, my child."
After a while, with a "squeaking" sound, the woman in a green skirt walked out of the house.
Scanning the Earth Mother with his peripheral vision, the God of Speech could clearly see that Gaia's current appearance was not much different from when she created humans, with tiny wrinkles vaguely visible at the corners of her eyes. It can be seen that with the birth of Demeter, the power she had restored over thousands of years was indeed dissipated.
But even so, Iapitus still felt the vast oppression.
No matter how few of the great divine powers are left, there is still an essential gap.
"Mother Goddess, the new god's priesthood is determined by the laws of this world. If given the choice, His Majesty the God King would not want to give birth to such a daughter."
This is not to speak for the God King, but it is the truth.
After all, if given a choice, the other party would wish that all his children would be weak gods with weak divine power.
"I know, but I don't care about this anymore. Cronus is still unwilling to release his brothers from the abyss, and I think he doesn't take me seriously either."
With a cold snort, Gaia looked at her weakest son of God.
"I have a task for you to do, Iapetus, my boy, do you see the humans out there?"
After thinking for a while, the God of Speech didn't know what Mother Earth wanted him to do, but he still responded:
"I saw it, Mother Goddess. They gathered around the oracle, praying to their creator day and night, but they gradually came to the end of their lives. Maybe in five hundred years, maybe in a thousand years, their bodies will return Your arms, while the soul travels to the interface of the Lord of the Spirit World."
As he spoke, Iapitus's voice slowed down, and he probably knew what Gaia wanted him to do.
Sure enough, Earth Mother spoke immediately.
"Yes, as you can see, human life is coming to an end, a death determined by fate."
"When they disappear, this plain will be empty again. The God King does not want his mother to live with him. My second son, Pontos, who controls the offshore sea, is also hiding under the sea under the oppression of his nephew. I can only stay here alone."
Gaia stepped forward and looked at her child.
"You should understand what I mean. I need you to go to the spiritual world for me and get me the water from the [Well of Origin]. You tell Ryan that as long as he agrees to my conditions, our previous grudges will be wiped out."
Iapitus didn't know what grudges the Earth Mother had with the Lord of the Spirit World, but he knew that the God King had explicitly prohibited the birth of silver humans. If he chooses to go, he will never be accepted by the God King again.
"Use the priesthood of your words, Iapetus, I believe you can do it. As for Cronus, you don't have to worry."
As if seeing the worry of the God of Speech, Gaia promised him: "I swear in the name of the original god, as long as you do something related to creation, the earth will protect you from now on."
"As long as you are on earth, no one can force you to do something you don't want to do, not even me."
"And you have to think carefully. The God King's daughter has been born and fate has begun to turn. You have seen your father's power. Do you really think Cronus can defeat fate?"
No matter how much I said before, it can't compare to the last sentence. The reason why Iapetus came to see Mother Earth was because deep down in his heart, he felt that the God King might not be reliable.
Even he himself is troubled by prophecies and curses, so how can he make others believe in him?
".I will do my best, Mother Goddess, but I can't guarantee the result."
Lowering his head slightly, under Gaia's satisfied gaze, Iapitus still gave the answer the other party wanted.
"Very good, you will succeed. After all, the birth of Silver Humanity was what he predicted."
"That's right," Gaia finally warned as if she remembered something.
"Creation is a bit complicated. I think that apart from humans, the rest of life can be taken care of by you."
Although he didn't do it himself, Gaia was still deeply impressed by the strange lives created by the gods before.
On the one hand, she doesn’t want her new life to be like this, because it will remind her of the giants who were imprisoned in the abyss by the Heavenly Father because of their ugliness. But on the other hand, she didn't want to spend the time and energy to transform them herself.
In this case, it is the best idea to let others do it for you.
"And such repeated creation is too troublesome. For those beings that are very different from gods, just give them the right to reproduce on their own."
".I see."
There is another layer of burden on me, but I don’t have to worry about the debt. The God of Speech decisively agreed.
He also participated in the creation of life last time. Although it was indeed very troublesome, after the experience, he was somewhat confident.
As for 'reproduction', it's not really that difficult. What really determines whether life can reproduce on its own is not simply creating females, but giving them powers related to reproduction.
But at this point, the god of speech isn't worried about rejection.
After all, the increase in spiritual life will inevitably increase the speed of the growth of the spiritual power of the Lord of the Spirit World. Once the life can expand on its own, they will soon spread all over the earth. Iaptus felt that no one would object to others taking the initiative to help with work.
So after agreeing, he asked Mother Earth for a branch of a golden apple as a gift, and then flew directly along the passage opened by Gaia toward the underworld below the earth.
For other gods, only a very few gaps in the earth can connect to the gate of the underworld. But in the hands of Mother Earth, every part of the earth can be connected to the underworld.
So once again, Iapetus had no chance to meet the God of West Wind hovering outside the Great Plains, but came directly to the familiar River Styx.
