Not far from the oracle of Delphi, the large yellow serpent twisted and transformed, turning into a handsome god again.

The gods of Kaos, regardless of their conduct, were indeed handsome men and beautiful women, and each had its own sense of beauty.

Like the sun god Hyperion, he is masculine beauty, just like his priesthood. The ocean god Okeanos is rugged and beautiful, muscular but not boring. They were all tall, but they didn't look awkward at all.

And like the god king Kronos, it gives people the feeling of majesty and solemnity, not to mention Atlas, the god of power, who looks like a brave hero in myths and legends.

Or rather, heroes like him.

As for Iapetus, the god of speech, he, like his eldest son Prometheus, gives a sense of weakness. But the breath of the gods reminds everyone who sees his existence that he is by no means powerless.

Slowly stepped forward, until he saw a hut made of plants in the distance, and the god of speech stopped. Vaguely, Iapertos could feel the breath of life behind the house.

That's not Mother Earth, because on the earth, it's hard for ordinary people to tell the difference between Gaia and the earth. So it is not surprising that it is the first plant in the world, and the golden apple tree that is said to have part of the [life] power and symbolize the [plant] itself.

"Iapetus, come and greet you, Mother Goddess."

Touching the chest, the god of speech respectfully greets.

"Hello, but I'm not very 'safe,' my child."

After a while, with a 'squeak' sound, the woman in the green dress walked out of the house.

The afterglow swept over the Earth Mother, and the God of Speech could clearly see that Gaia's current appearance was not much different from when he created a man, and small wrinkles were faintly visible in the corners of his eyes. It can be seen that with the birth of Demeter, the power she had recovered for thousands of years has indeed dissipated again.

But even so, Iapertus still felt the immensity of oppression.

The personality of the great divine power, even if there is little left, is an essential gap.

"Mother God, the priesthood of the new god is determined by the laws of the present world, and if there is a choice, His Majesty the God King does not want to give birth to such a daughter."

This is not speaking for the God-King, but it is true.

After all, if there is a choice, the other party wishes that all his children are weak gods with weak divine power.

"I know, but I don't care about that anymore. Kronos is still reluctant to release his brothers from the abyss, and I don't think he takes me seriously. ”

With a cold snort, Gaia looked at his weakest Miko.

"I have a mission for you to do, Iapetos, my child, do you see the humans outside?"

After thinking about it for a moment, the God of Speech didn't know what Mother Earth wanted him to do, but he still responded:

"I saw, Mother Goddess, who gathered around the oracle and prayed day and night to their Creator, but they too came to the end of their lives. Maybe five hundred years, maybe a thousand years, and their bodies will return to your arms, and their souls will go to the interface of the Lord of the Spirit Realm."

As he spoke, Iapetus's voice slowed, he probably knew what Gaia wanted him to do.

Sure enough, Mother Earth spoke up right after.

"Yes, as you can see, human life is coming to an end, and it is a death determined by fate."

"When they pass away, the plain will be empty again. The God-King did not want his mother to live with him, and my second son, Pontus, who was in charge of the offshore seas, was also hiding under the pressure of his nephew, and I had to stay here alone. ”

Gaia stepped forward and looked at her child.

"You should understand what I mean, I need you to go to the spirit world for me and fetch the well water from the [Well of Origin] for me. You tell Ryan that if he agrees to my terms, our old grudge will be written off. ”

Iapetus didn't know what the grudge between the Earth Mother and the Lord of the Spirit Realm was, but he knew that the God-King had forbidden the birth of a silver human. If he chooses to go, then he will never be accepted by the God-King again.

"Use the priesthood of your words, Iapetus, and I believe you can do it. As for Kronos, you don't have to worry. ”

As if sensing the concern of the God of Speech, Gaia promised him, "I swear in the name of the primordial god that the earth will protect you from now on if you do well in relation to creation." ”

"As long as you're on the earth, no one can force you to do what you don't want to do, not even me."

"And you have to think about it, the daughter of the god king has been born, fate has begun to turn, you have seen your father's power, do you really think, Kronos can overcome fate?"

No matter how much I said before, I couldn't reach the last sentence. The reason why Iapertus came to see the Earth Mother was because deep down in his heart, he also felt that the God King might not be reliable.

Even he himself was plagued by prophecies and curses, so how could he make others believe him?

I will do my best, Mother Goddess, but I can't guarantee what the outcome will be."

Bowing his head slightly, in Gaia's satisfied gaze, Iapetus still gave the answer that the other party wanted.

"Very good, you will succeed, after all, the birth of the silver human race is what he predicted."

"By the way," Gaia finally admonished, as if remembering something.

"The matter of creation is really a bit complicated, and I think that except for humans, the rest of the lives can be handled by you."

Although he didn't get his hands on it himself, the strange life that the gods had pinched up before still left a deep impression on Gaia.

On the one hand, she didn't want all new lives to be like this, because it reminded her of the giants who were imprisoned in the abyss by their Heavenly Father because of their ugliness. But on the other hand, she didn't want to spend time and energy on transforming them herself.

In this case, having someone else do it for you is a good idea.

"And it's too troublesome to create again and again, so give those beings who are very different from God the right to reproduce on their own."

"I see."

There is another layer of burden on his body, but he doesn't have to worry about more debts, and the god of speech responds decisively.

He also participated in the creation of life last time, although it was indeed troublesome, but after an experience, he was still somewhat sure.

As for 'multiplication', it's not really difficult. What really determines whether life can reproduce on its own is not simply the creation of females, but the power to give them related to reproduction.

But at this point, the god of speech is not worried about rejection.

After all, the increase in the number of spiritual beings will inevitably increase the speed at which the divine power of the Lord of the Spirit Realm will increase, and once the life can expand on its own, they will soon spread all over the earth. As for the behavior of others taking the initiative to help with the part-time job, Iapertus felt that no one would object.

So after answering, he asked the Earth Mother for a branch of a golden apple as a gift, and then flew directly down the passage opened by Gaia, towards the underworld beneath the earth.

For the other gods, only a handful of gaps in the earth can lead to the gates of the underworld. But in the hands of Mother Earth, every part of the earth can connect to the underworld.

So once again, Iapertus and the god of the west wind hovering outside the great plains did not have a chance to meet, but went directly to the familiar river Styx.
