Myth: The Ruler of Spirituality

Chapter 751 - 266: Cycles and Achievements

Autumn had arrived, and the weather had cooled.

Unlike the bustling activity of the Eastern Coast, a hill in the distant Thebes was untouched by the chaos of the external world.

A tall figure with golden hair looked down from the heights and could see a few herds of cattle leisurely grazing on the already yellowing grass.

Standing beside him was another figure, who respectfully stood and recounted something.

"..."

"Yesterday, there was turmoil in Eryxis. Divine Descending occurred, and the King of Athens fell."

"On the same day, in condemnation of the former King of Athens’s tyranny, the Argos Kingdom, leading those who worship the Heavenly Empress, criticized Athens’s policies and proposed supporting Prince Demophon to succeed the throne."

"Her Majesty the Heavenly Empress intended to establish the Anti-Athens Alliance to use military force to dismember the Kingdom of Athens."

"Many of the gods responded, but it still required some time for discussion."

"..."

"In the stars, the Titan God Phoebe recently visited his reclusive sister alone, for reasons unknown and results unclear."

"But according to speculation, it was most likely related to the Sun and the Moon."

"There’s also in the north of the continent..."

"..."

The voice was neither loud nor low, but just so could be clearly heard.

Zephyrus listed the various events occurring in heaven and earth, and Zeus quietly listened.

The Divine King occasionally asked questions, sometimes receiving answers and sometimes not.

However, he didn’t much care; he was more interested in understanding these matters.

"Hestia... that’s also normal."

"The scale of this event may have been too large, perhaps in her view, if I’m unwilling to intervene, then only the Mother Goddess could."

"But sadly, you went too late."

If this had happened right at the end of the banquet of the Golden Apple, Zeus believed that Rhea’s intervention might have been able to stop the dispute.

But now, the King of Athens was dead, and Eryxis was about to face retaliation. The blood debt was already established and was not so easily cleared.

"Moreover, in just a short time, the power of the world has shifted multiple times, and the strength of many in Godhood has increased; it seems this upheaval is nearing its conclusion."

"Another change in the world’s order, Primordial Gods... you are already strong enough!"

As the King of All Gods, Zeus’s understanding of global macro changes deepened with the increase in strength.

And precisely because of this, he could sense Chaos’s Increasingly strong ’breathing’ and internal cycle. Maybe once this upheaval, which started thousands of years ago, ends, many parts of the world would ascend further, and many of the Primordial Gods would benefit the most.

As for the so-called ’breathing’ and ’internal cycle,’ they are easy to explain. According to Zeus’s understanding, they are simply methods of growth by obtaining power from outside or inside.

The world ’breathes,’ which shows a world seeking growth from the ’outside.’

By assimilating external powers, such as devouring fragments of the Nine Realms or dissecting a complete world, it could swiftly and efficiently grow its own volume.

But external elements cannot be integrated effortlessly; the power from the Otherworld also needs digestion, which requires internal cycling to resolve.

The more complete the structure of the world and the clearer the order, the smoother the practice of Godhood, the stronger the internal cycle, and the world can more easily make the devoured entities a part of itself.

During this process, the power obtained from beyond the world would circulate through this grand web woven of universal laws, incrementally worn down by the world. Each part constituting this cycle could benefit.

However, the more similar the entities, the easier they are to digest, and hence less likely to

gain growth.

Hence, if a world dominated by [Darkness] is devoured from beyond, then during the cycle, the [Darkness] of this world would digest the fastest and gain the most growth, while the others would lag far behind.
