God of Spirituality

"In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth."

"Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters."

"And God said, 'Let there be light,' and there was light."

"God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness."

"God called the light 'day,' and the darkness he called 'night.' And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day."

—Genesis

..."Another year."

On the empty and desolate earth, Ryan awoke from his slumber.

As far as the eye could see, the familiar yet strange land was as it always had been, as if it had never changed.

He had been in this world for many years, but Ryan still couldn't get used to this emptiness and desolation.

Unlike the divine creation recorded in the Bible, Khaos evolved from chaos, which he had witnessed firsthand.

Therefore, it did not become complete in just seven days, but still appeared 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.

"The Twelve Titans, I've finally waited for this day."

Feeling the rhythm of the laws and the waves of the source sea, Ryan looked up.

On the distant horizon, brilliant ribbons of color danced in the sky, and the vibration of the laws became more intense.

That was a sign of the birth of a new god.

This was not the first time. In the nascent Khaos world, Ryan had witnessed the birth of many gods in succession, the last time being seven hundred years ago.

Of course, in the early days of heaven and earth, "year" was an inappropriate term. Because at this time there was no sun and moon, no change of seasons, and naturally no concept of "year."

But Ryan liked to call it that, so the chaotic Khaos had its second word for recording time, "year."

It is worth mentioning that the first word, "day," was also created by Ryan after witnessing the birth of Nyx, the mistress of the night, the triune ancient god.

Therefore, he obtained the authority of 'Chronology'.

But unfortunately, authority is not power; it is only the prototype of a divine office, so Ryan is still just the God of Spirituality.

"Cronus and Rhea, the true masters of time are about to be born."

With a long sigh, Ryan leaned against the excavated cave, gazing at the fantastic scenery transforming between heaven and earth.

Even with the perception of a god, separated by the boundless earth, he could not feel the source of everything.

But Ryan didn't need to 'see' because heaven and earth were close together.

No matter where in the world, on the hills, under the sea, the aura of desire was rising, and new life was being conceived.

Over the millennia, in Ryan's observation, the newborn Khaos differed significantly from later myths, but it seemed basically consistent in the birth of gods.

The source of all things began in the dark void, with the vast earth and Earth Mother born together.

Before the sky existed, the Lady of the Night occupied the boundless emptiness, and the chaotic Tartarus appeared in slumber beneath everything.

As the first self-aware being in the world, Ryan witnessed the birth of the primordial gods, and the chaotic Khaos welcomed its first living beings.

Later, under the Earth Mother Gaia's nurturing inspired by the world, the sky, the sea, and the mountains appeared in succession, and Uranus, Pontus, and Urea were born as a result, with Khaos moving ever closer to becoming a complete world.

Now, one thousand three hundred years after Ryan began to measure time in 'years,' the Earth Mother Gaia's eldest son, the Sky Father Uranus, married his nurturer, and the Twelve Titan Gods are about to arrive in this world.

Of course, at this time there were no 'Titans' yet.

They are great innate gods, supreme beings nurtured by the Sky Father and Earth Mother, ancient gods who were born with powerful strength.

The laws of the world will be perfected with their birth, and the throne of the God King will be crowned upon the Lord of the Sky's head due to the manifestation of patriarchy.

Besides Ryan, and perhaps Eros who existed at the beginning but seemed to die instantly, Uranus will be the first generation of God King.

"But this has nothing to do with me."

Shaking his head, under Ryan's divinity-filled eyes, the laws of the world are jumping and becoming complete.

The desolate Khaos is becoming more colorful and prosperous due to the birth of the new gods.

But the excitement belongs to them; Ryan has nothing.

As a weak transmigrator, a God of Spirituality, his power is not even comparable to a single hair of the Sky Lord.

Thousands of years ago, when he arrived here at the beginning of the birth of heaven and earth, Ryan was very confused.

Other transmigrators, whether they were reincarnated, possessed, or had their souls merged, at least had a body for them.

But when Ryan arrived, Khaos had just been opened, and the primordial gods were still being nurtured; he didn't even have an object to possess.

Fortunately, as the first existence in this world, Ryan's original soul transformed into the origin of spirituality and a weak spatial-temporal divinity.

Ryan used this to shape a divine body, avoiding the fate of his soul being scattered.

Later, the authority of Chronology also relied heavily on this—it's not like just anyone can create a new concept and acquire authority.

The existence of spatial-temporal divinity allowed Ryan to take a shortcut; he barely managed to get the world to recognize the existence of 'year' and 'day,' acquiring the weakest Chronology.

But authority is not power; the latter is the essence of a divine duty, while the former is just an extension of the domain.

If he wants to sublimate authority into power and obtain the identity of the God of Chronology, he still has to go back to those two paths.

Using a direct method, inscribing the concept into the world with great power. Or letting the embodiment of the law, enough gods, recognize him as the "creator," and then gradually acquire this divine duty over a long period of time.

Unfortunately, Ryan can't do either of these.

He has neither the great power to shake the world nor the ability to gain the recognition of the gods.

So Ryan had to wait quietly, waiting for an opportune moment.

For example, when this God King is about to be born.

"Buzz—"

A buzzing sound suddenly rang out, without a source, yet it seemed to be everywhere. The sound was clear but not harsh; it was the agitation of the laws.

The next moment, endless light and infinite water were created in the void.

In the nascent Khaos world, the earth was in the center, with the ocean enveloping the land from all sides. But at this moment, in places beyond the reach of the sea, on the land, and in the sky, new water appeared out of nowhere and gradually formed into streams.

Okeanos, also known as Oceanus, the eldest of the Twelve Titans, the Lord of the Great River, the World-Encircling River, was finally born in the Khaos world.

At this moment, Ryan could clearly feel that the authority originally belonging to the primordial sea god Pontus was divided into two, one of which was heading straight towards the ocean currents surrounding the world.

That was the world cutting his power.

The overall power of the ocean and water increased, but Pontus was greatly weakened instead.

He still held the divine duties of the seabed, the offshore, and the saltwater, but the symbols of freshwater and ocean currents were replaced by the newly born god.

In Ryan's perception, the originally powerful aura in the ocean weakened instantly.

To be more specific, it probably fell from [Greater God] to [Intermediate God].
