Passing through the land, Iapotus came to the underworld.

Although strictly speaking, at this time, the [Underworld] is also a part of the [Earth], perhaps because it is tightly wrapped by the four ancient gods of creation, so that there is a feeling of 'self-contained' here.

No matter where they enter the underworld, whether it is the bottom of the ocean or the center of the earth, unless it is a time-space jump like 'Spirit Travel', anyone will first appear at the edge of the underworld, a place guarded by the three-headed dog Cerberus in the afterlife.

Behind the door is Akron, the River of Pain, flanked by the edges of the Land of Eternal Night and the Lightless Realm, and anyone who wants to enter the underworld has only one way to cross it.

Of course, at this time, there is no portal in the underworld, and the river of pain has not yet been born.

Carefully avoiding the realm of the two Creation Ancient Gods, the God of Speech stepped into the Great Gray Plains. Only one of the five great rivers of the Styx of later generations now exists, and that is the concept of 'circumnavigating the underworld for seven weeks', but in fact one end connects to the present world and the other goes deep into the Styx River in Tartarus.

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

Unsurprisingly, some time passed, and he did not get any response. But the god of speech was not angry, and just continued to fly towards the center of the underworld.

As the goddess who presides over the law of Kaos's Oath, Styx has been alone in the underworld since her birth. Even her father, the ocean goddess Okeanos, rarely sees her, so she is one of the few gods who does not visit the 'legislative'.

But despite this, the god of speech still does not dare to ignore the other party easily. When Styx took over the Pledge's delegated authority from the world, she became one of the few gods in Kaos who could increase the strength of her priesthood on her own.

Witnessing God's oath can bring her the tilt of the world's source power. And punish the gods who break their oaths, and you can get additional buffs. There may be limits to this enhancement, and growth is slow, but at least so far, Iapertus has not seen where its ceiling is.

With some envy in his heart, the God of Speech quickly swept across the gray plains, flying straight towards the dark moon in the sky.

As a weak divine power, Iapetus does not fly fast.

But before leaving, Kronos and the four wind gods gave him temporary blessings, allowing him to travel quickly between the sacred mountain and the underworld. So on the third day after leaving Mount Odils, he came to the pre-Hades.

According to the Goddess of Justice, the Hades Moon is the official gateway to the abode of the Lord of the Spirit Realm. As long as he is called here, he will receive the gods who come to visit.

"Dear Highness Lane, I am Iapetus, the god of speech."

"By order of the God King, I have come with the request of the gods, hoping that you will meet me."

Facing the Stygian Moon, which seemed to be close in front of him, but in fact it was untouchable, Iapetus said respectfully.

Unlike other Titans, the God of Speech doesn't have a stand. He now put himself completely in the position of 'messenger', and he was not going to say a word more.

Convey the meaning of the gods truthfully, and then go to the sacred mountain to reply to the letter, this is what he wants to do. As for using the priesthood to influence Ryan's decisions or something, it was impossible.

He came for the good of the gods, not for himself alone. When he becomes the king of the gods, he will come again to 'serve the gods.'"

"The god of speech?"

After waiting for a while, next to the dark moon, an unfamiliar female voice came.

Iapetus followed the prestige and saw a goddess in a black dress silently appear in front of him.

The goddess in front of her had wings on her back, and her silver-white wings shimmered with seven different brilliances. A faint aura of divine power swirled around his body, this was a god who was close to the limit of weak divine power

In his heart, the god of speech knew that according to the advice of the righteous lady, this was the goddess Lyanna, who was in charge of the moon on behalf of the lord of the spirit world.

Themis advises Iapetus not to despise the other party, even though she often thinks of herself as Lane's servant, but the god of speech feels that the reminder of the goddess of justice is completely superfluous.

Just kidding, the premise of contempt is a sense of psychological superiority, but the reality is that without using his hands, Iapetus knows that he can't beat the other party at all - although the divine power is not much different, [Stygian Moon] is not comparable to [Speech].

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

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

"At the behest of the gods, I have come here to visit the Lord of the Spirit Realm, and to ask him about the secrets of creation, and to show me the way."

Nodding, Lyanna accepted the salute from the god 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 who couldn't predict anything, and he has already felt the rhythm of fate soon after returning to the spirit world.

Although he never actively observes his fate, as a symbol of uncertain fate, a predestined observer, Ryan can always get some revelation from fate to a greater or lesser extent. The more closely an event is associated with it, the lower the level of power involved, and the higher the probability and clarity of the revelation.

Undoubtedly, the birth of the earth's creatures was extremely important in the trajectory of fate, and the participation of 'souls' in it was high enough, so Ryan naturally foresaw the visit of Iapetus.

"The Lord knows what you are here for," said Lyanna calmly, meeting the gaze of the God of Speech, "It is not enough to create a body to make living beings wise. 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 what makes the flesh."

The voice fell, and Lyanna waited quietly for an answer. As she said, Ryan had no interest in participating in the preparation of the creation. Although he also looks forward to life, he is only willing to give souls, at most to witness the birth of the golden human race in person.

Anyway, the first generation of life has no ability to reproduce, and they all have to die in the end. The gods only wanted to make squires and pets, not species that could perpetuate themselves.

Even when it comes to creating human beings, he actually has more thoughts about verifying conjectures, after all, the human beings of the Golden Age are a bit different from the 'humans' in his understanding.

With a lifespan of thousands of years, an appearance that is born as an adult, and does not change when it dies, and as if it has been stamped with thoughts, only pious beliefs and positive emotions, this kind of life, except for the similarity in appearance, Ryan really can't see where it looks like a human.

Even from the perspective of 'human nature', the gods of Kaos at this time are far closer to the 'humans' that Ryan understood than the mortals of the Golden and Silver Ages.
