Mythology: Spiritual Ruler

Not far from the Delphi Oracle, the yellow snake twisted and transformed, and turned into a handsome god again.

Regardless of their conduct, the gods of Chaos are indeed handsome men and beautiful women in terms of appearance, and each has its own beauty.

Like the sun god Hyperion, he is masculine and beautiful, just like his priesthood. Oceanus, the ocean god, is rough and beautiful, with strong muscles but not boring. They are all tall, but they don't look awkward at all.

And the god king Kronos gives people a sense of majesty and solemnity, not to mention the god of strength Atlas, who looks like a brave hero in mythology.

Or to be more precise, it is the hero who looks like him.

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

Walking slowly forward, the God of Speech stopped when he saw a small house made of plants in the distance. Faintly, Iapetus could feel a breath of life behind the house.

That was not Mother Earth, because on earth, it was difficult for ordinary people to distinguish Gaia from the earth. So it was not surprising that it was the first plant in the world, the golden apple tree that was said to have some [life] power and symbolize the [plant] itself.

"Iapetus, I come to greet you, Mother Goddess."

Touching his chest and bowing, the God of Speech greeted respectfully.

". Greetings, but I don't say 'hello' very much, my child."

After a while, accompanied by a 'creaking' sound, the woman in the green skirt walked out of the house.

Glancing at Mother Earth, the God of Speech could clearly see that Gaia's current appearance was not much different from when she created humans, and fine wrinkles could be vaguely seen at the corners of her eyes. It can be seen that with the birth of Demeter, the power she had recovered for thousands of years was indeed dissipated again.

But even so, Iapetus still felt the vast oppression.

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

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

This is not speaking for the King of Gods, but the fact.

After all, if there is a choice, the other party would like all his children to be weak gods with weak divine power.

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

With a cold snort, Gaia looked at his weakest son of God.

"I have a task for you to do, Iapetus, my child, have you seen the humans outside?"

After thinking for a while, the God of Speech didn't know what the Earth Mother 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 are gradually coming to the end of their lives. Maybe five hundred years, maybe a thousand years, their bodies will return to your arms, and their souls will go to the interface of the Lord of the Spirit World."

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

Sure enough, the Earth Mother spoke immediately.

"Yes, as you can see, human life is about to end, this is a death determined by fate."

"When they disappear, this plain will be empty again. The God King doesn't want his mother to live with him, and my second son, Pontus, who controls the offshore, is also hiding in the seabed 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 spirit world for me and fetch the water from the Well of Origin for me. Tell Ryan that as long as he agrees to my conditions, our previous grievances will be written off."

Iapetus didn't know what grievances there were between the Earth Mother and the Lord of the Spirit World, but he knew that the God King had expressly prohibited the birth of silver humans. If he chose to go, he would never be accepted by the God King again.

"Use your ministry of speech, Iapetus, I believe you can do it. As for Kronos, 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 things related to creation well, the earth will protect you from now on."

"As long as you are on earth, no one can force you to do things you don't want to do, even me."

"And you have to think about it. The daughter of the God King has been born and fate has begun to turn. You have seen the power of your father. Do you really think that Kronos can defeat fate?"

No matter how much I said before, it was not as good as the last sentence. The reason why Iapetus came to see the Earth Mother was because deep in his heart, he also felt that the God King might not be reliable.

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

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

Slightly lowering his head, in Gaia's satisfied eyes, Iapetus still gave the answer the other party wanted.

"Very good, you will succeed. After all, the birth of the silver human was predicted by him."

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

"The matter of creation is really a bit complicated. I think you can do the rest of the life except humans."

Although she didn't do it herself, Gaia was still impressed by the strange life that the gods had created before.

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

In this case, letting others do it for her is the best idea.

"And it's too troublesome to create repeatedly like this. For those lives that are very different from God, give them the right to reproduce on their own."

".I know."

He had another burden on his shoulders, but he didn't worry about too many debts, so the God of Speech agreed decisively.

He also participated in the creation of life last time. Although it was indeed troublesome, he was still somewhat confident after having the experience.

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

However, at this point, the God of Speech is not worried about being rejected.

After all, the increase in spiritual life will inevitably increase the speed of the spiritual master's power, and once life can expand on its own, it will soon spread all over the earth. Iapetus felt that no one would object to others' initiative to help with work.

So after agreeing, he asked the Earth Mother for a branch of golden apple as a gift, and then flew directly along the passage opened by Gaia to the underworld under the earth.

For other gods, only a very small number of gaps on the earth can connect to the gate of the underworld. But in the hands of the Earth Mother, every part of the earth can connect to the underworld.

So once again, Iapetus and the West Wind God hovering outside the Great Plains did not meet, but came directly to the familiar Styx.
