Scythe Khaos world, at the foot of an unnamed mountain, a conversation significant enough to influence the world was ongoing.
Sensing the Power of History, Ryan faced the Earth Mother's inquiry, indicating his helplessness.
"I am the God of Prophecy, not the God of Wisdom." Shaking his head, Ryan said.
"Respected Earth Mother, I can only see the results, and even then, only as difficult-to-interpret futures."
"If you must have me offer a suggestion, then I can only say that the God King cannot be overthrown by Power alone."
"Prophecy shows that the Knife Wielder will shake the God King's Throne. Not defeat him, and certainly not kill him, not only because the God King's Power is unmatched, but also because his throne comes from the world, not from conquest."
"The God King's Throne, not obtained through plunder, naturally cannot be stripped away by mere Power."
Hearing this, the Earth Mother's expression was somewhat bewildered. She did not know what, besides Power, could make Khaos retract the bestowed God King's Throne.
"As a God King crowned by the world, his authority comes from himself. He is the first being to give birth to new Gods through intercourse, the manifestation of Paternal Authority allows him to rule the world, and I do not know how to shake his throne."
"Then I am powerless, Respected Earth Mother." Ryan smiled and shook his head: "For the sake of your trustworthiness last time, I am willing to try to think of a way. But as I said, I am, after all, not the God of Wisdom."
"Alright." After a while, the Earth Mother proposed several ideas, but they were all rejected by Ryan one by one. In the end, sensing Uranus's aura returning to the Earth from the Sea, Gaia had no choice but to leave temporarily.
Previously, she had come out while the Sky Father was going to his children for 'entertainment'; now, she had to hurry back.
"Respected Ryan, in any case, I am grateful for your help." The Earth Mother said finally: "However, in the near future, if I really make up my mind, I hope to receive your Prophecy."
"I will." Ryan could not wish for more: "I will do my best to foresee the success or failure of things for you after you are ready."
Nodding in satisfaction, the hem of Gaia's green dress disappeared before Ryan in a trance. Even with her vitality greatly damaged, the Earth Mother's whereabouts were still not something he could detect.
However, Ryan was not envious, after all, he knew that Gaia's Power would continue to weaken. Even in the distant future, she would become the only Primordial God to completely fall from Great Divine Power.
Giving birth to Typhon, this monster king who once defeated Zeus, would cause her origin to be depleted again; the birth of the Goddess of Agriculture would tear apart her control over [Plant]; the appearance of the King of the Underworld would cause the land of the Underworld to leave her; Urea's Mountain God descendants and the Lord of the Ocean's River God descendants diluted her control over the Earth—this goddess, born with the most abundant origin, would thus become ordinary in successive births and betrayals by the world. Perhaps in the eyes of ordinary people, she was still powerful, but the God Kings of past generations had never really taken her seriously.
Returning to the Divine Mountain this time, I am afraid that before long, she would be greeted by another torment.
"Level 7 Divine Power, once I get what I want from Cronus, everything will be on track."
"Next time we meet, I won't be so easy to talk to."
Looking again at the place where Gaia disappeared, Ryan knew that although the Earth Mother was very respectful to him, it was only superficial.
In terms of Power, the Earth Mother, like other Gods, had never taken Ryan seriously. In terms of emotion, although Ryan had always stood by her side, she was still somewhat dissatisfied with Ryan.
Being lenient with oneself and strict with others, in this respect, there was no difference between humans and Gods.
Silently examining his own Divine Power, Ryan continued to slumber.
Among the three generations of God Kings of Khaos, in the era belonging to Uranus, he was just a witness. The Earth, which did not even have animals yet, was not the time for the Power of [Spirituality] to be displayed.
At least until the Second Generation God King took the throne, the First Humans were born, and a new generation of Gods descended into the world, would this world have room for his activities.
Before that, he could only wait.
...Mount Othrys, the God King's residence.
Happily trapping Phoebe in the seabed, Uranus admired the 'Sea of Light' for a long time. The Goddess of Luminous Bodies made the waves ripple with brilliance, but the Ocean, still without Life at this time, was quickly tired of by the God King.
'They are getting stronger and stronger.' Returning to the peak of the Divine Mountain, the God King thought.
Two thousand years passed, and the Power of the Titan Gods was nearing its peak. Even with the Sky Lord's perspective, if he disregarded the boost the God King's Throne gave him, he had to acknowledge the Power of his descendants.
'Three hundred years, five hundred at most, I have to do something.'
Having made up his mind, the God King rose and walked towards his wife.
In the current world, Gods were scarce. If he didn't want to be the sole ruler of this world after dealing with his children, he needed to hurry and create a few more Gods.
He had done so before, but Gaia's two births had disappointed him. He was even starting to wonder how the Sky and Earth could produce such freaks.
If Tartarus didn't lack a personified consciousness, he would have suspected that this Ancient God, who spent all year at the bottom of the world, had done something to offend the King of the Gods.
"Gaia, my wife, my God Queen." Lost in thought, Uranus arrived before the Earth Mother.
He was completely unaware that the Earth Mother had once left the Divine Mountain. As the personified manifestation of the Earth, Gaia easily deceived Uranus's senses.
"Your Majesty."
Gaia seemed to sense the God King's intentions. Although she knew it would be futile, she still pleaded, "Continuous Fertility has left me exhausted, and Your Majesty's Power is so great. Perhaps you could allow me more time to rest; it might make our next child more to your liking."
"But isn't that your own doing?" Uranus retorted.
Immediately afterward, he ignored Gaia's refusal and pinned her beneath him as usual.
"You know, Gaia, birthing Gods is different from birthing monsters."
"The Power of Gods comes more from Divinity; the world bestows gifts upon them. Except for my foolish brother Urea, who divided your Divinity at birth, the birth of other offspring has never left you so exhausted."
With a cold laugh, Uranus's actions became more violent.
"But birthing a monster is different; they are born strong and need no growth. They have no Divinity, yet they are immortal. All their Power comes from the mother; your origin withers with their birth, which is why you are weak."
"So, give birth to a normal God, Gaia, like in the beginning."
"Let us strengthen the Power of the God race together, instead of providing the Abyss with a few immortal snacks."
Gaia seemed to yield; she no longer tried to persuade her husband. Under the gaze of the Khaos Gods, the Sky descended once more, level with the peak of the Divine Mountain. They knew that it was another union of the Sky Father and Earth Mother.
But where the God King couldn't see, the last hesitation vanished from Gaia's emerald eyes.
Just as he said, Gaia had no intention of creating 'immortal snacks,' so she made up her mind.
'Fate is on my side,' Gaia thought, 'I will succeed.'
And then, her anger began to burn. Beneath the Earth, in the place where gold and stone intertwined, the Earth Mother's authority caused magma to flow. The sharp aura was extracted, and a special stone slowly took shape. It needed no Forging, for it was nurtured by the Earth. It was curved and sharp, symbolizing Gaia's conflicting emotions and final resolution.
Thus, three hundred years later, the first Scythe of Khaos was born.
