Chapter 1: The God of Spirituality
"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth"
"The earth is void and chaos; There is darkness in the abyss; The Spirit of God hovers over the waters. ”
"And God said, 'Let there be light,' and there was light."
"God sees light as good, and He separates light from darkness."
"God called the light day, and the darkness night. There is evening, and there is morning; It's the first day. ”
- Genesis

"Another year."
On the empty and barren land, Ryan awoke from his slumber.
As far as the eye can see, the familiar and strange land is the same as before, as if it has never changed.
It's been many years since he came into this world, but Ryan still hasn't gotten used to this emptiness and desolation.
Unlike the creation recorded in the Bible, Kaos evolved from chaos, which he saw with his own eyes.
As a result, it did not become complete in just seven days, but still looks desolate and dilapidated.
But today was different, because as Ryan was awakened, he could clearly feel that a new god was about to be born.
"Twelve Titans, it's finally time for this day......"
Feeling the rhythm of the law, the waves of the source sea, Ryan looked up.
In the distant sky, brilliant ribbons danced in the sky, and the vibrations of the law became more and more violent.
It was a sign of the birth of a new god.
This is not the first time. In the nascent world of Kaos, Ryan witnessed the birth of many gods in turn, the last time being seven hundred years ago.
Of course, in the beginning of the world, "year" was an inappropriate title. Because there is no day and moon at this time, there is no change of the four seasons, and naturally there is no concept of "year".
But Ryan liked to call it that, so Chaos Kaos had his second word for time, "years."
It is worth mentioning that the first word, "day", was also coined by Ryan after witnessing the birth of the Lord of the Night, the ancient god of the Trinity, Nyx.
Thus, he acquires the power of 'timing'.
But alas, power is not authority, this is only the rudiments of the priesthood, so Ryan is still only a spiritual god.
"Kronos and Rhea, the true masters of time are about to be born."
With a long sigh, Ryan leaned against the cave he had dug out, looking at the wonders of heaven and earth.
Even with the perception of the gods, separated by the boundless earth, he could not feel the source of everything.
But Ryan doesn't need to 'see' because heaven and earth fit together.
No matter where you are in the world, on the hills, under the sea, the breath of desire is rising, and new life is being born.
For thousands of years, in Ryan's observations, there are many differences between the newborn Kaos and the myths of later generations, but in terms of the birth of gods, they are basically the same.
The source of all things arises from the dark void, and the vast earth is born with Mother Earth.
Before the sky existed, the Night Lady occupied the vast void, and the chaotic Tartarus, who appeared 'below' in his slumber.
As the world's first self-aware being, Ryan witnessed the birth of the primordial gods, and the chaotic Kaos ushered in its first creatures.
Later, under the inspiration of the world, the sky, the sea, and the mountains appeared in turn, and Ouranos, Pontos, and Uria were born, and Kaos moved closer and closer to the complete world.
Now, 1,300 years after Ryan began to measure the 'years', Ouranos, the eldest son of Gaia, the Earth Mother, has married his Conception, and the twelve Titans are about to come into the world.
Of course, there was no 'Titan' at this time.
They are great innate gods, supreme beings conceived by the Father and Mother Earth, and ancient gods who are born with great power.
The laws of the world will be perfected with their birth, and the throne of the god-king will be crowned on the head of the lord of the sky by the manifestation of patriarchy.
Except for Ryan, I don't know if there ever existed, and it seems that Eros died in an instant at the beginning of his birth, he will be the first god-king.
"But it doesn't have anything to do with me."
Shaking his head, under Ryan's eyes containing divinity, the laws of the world were leaping and complete.
The withered Kaos is becoming more prosperous with the birth of a new god.
But the excitement was theirs, and Ryan had nothing.
As a weak traverser and spiritual god, his strength is not as strong as a hair of the Lord of the Heavens.
Thousands of years ago, when he came here at the beginning of the birth of heaven and earth, Ryan was very confused.
Whether it's the reincarnation of other traversers, or the reincarnation of the corpse, or the soul is fused or something, there is still a body for them.
But when Ryan arrived, Kaos had just opened up, the primordial gods were still in their infancy, and he didn't even have a person to take away.
Fortunately, as the first existence in this world, Ryan's original soul turned into a spiritual origin and a faint divinity of time and space.
In this way, Ryan shaped the body of the god and avoided the fate of his soul.
Later, the power of the time sequence also relied on this—it was not just someone who created a new concept and could acquire it.
The existence of the divinity of time and space made Ryan take a trick, and he reluctantly made the world admit the existence of 'year' and 'day', and obtained the faintest time sequence.
But power is not authority, the latter is the essence of the priesthood, and the former is only an extension of the realm.
If you want to sublimate power into authority and obtain the identity of the god of time, you still have to return to those two paths.
In a direct way, the concept is carved into the world with great power. Or let the law be carried out, and enough gods will recognize his status as "creator", and then gradually acquire this priesthood over a long period of time.
It's a pity that Ryan can't do either.
He has neither the power to shake the world, nor the power to be recognized by the gods.
So Ryan had to wait quietly, waiting for an opportune moment.
For example, when this god-king is about to be born.
"Hum—"
The buzzing sound suddenly sounded, and there was no source, and it seemed to be everywhere. The sound is clear but not harsh, it is the restlessness of the law.
In the next moment, endless light, infinite water, was generated in the void.
In the nascent world of Kaos, the earth dwells in the middle, and the ocean envelops the land from all sides. But at this moment, where the sea cannot reach, on the earth, in the sky, new water appears out of thin air and gradually grows into a stream.
Okeanos, or Oshenus, the eldest brother of the Twelve Titans, the Lord of the Seas, the River of the World, was finally born in the world of Kaos.
At this time, Ryan could clearly feel that the authority that originally belonged to the primordial sea god Pontus was divided into two, and one of them was crashing straight towards the ocean current that surrounded the world.
That's the power of the world cutting through him.
The sea and water have risen overall, but Pontus has suffered a major loss.
He still holds the priesthood of the seabed, the near sea, and the saltwater, but the symbols of freshwater and ocean currents have been replaced by newborn gods.
In Ryan's perception, the originally powerful aura in the ocean instantly weakened.
If you are more specific, it is probably from [Powerful Divine Power] to [Medium Divine Power].
