Palace and Wine

Somehow still not fully satisfied, Themis returned to where Lyanna was.

She had kept the master of this place waiting for too long. Although strictly speaking, the current Khaos did not have a perfect 'etiquette', she still felt that it was not good to do so.

"How was it?" Lyanna asked with a smile.

"Eye-opening."

In half a day, Themis had walked through the surrounding tens of thousands of miles of land, and saw thousands of strange 'Spirit World lifeforms'. Some of them fed on Plants, some fed on other lifeforms, and some fed on certain concepts, all of which the goddess had never seen before.

In comparison, her weird-looking younger brothers didn't seem so strange.

During her observation, Themis had tried to stop the fighting between different lifeforms, but later she gradually understood. Mortals were different from gods. Food was an enjoyment for the gods, but it was a necessity for them.

The goddess had seen Spirit World lifeforms fighting each other more than once in order to compete for food, and she had also witnessed the unique fighting styles of Spirit World lifeforms.

Their power was weak, but their fighting skills were primitive and fierce. Unlike the gods who simply used their authority and Divine Power to fight, the Spirit World lifeforms also knew how to probe, set traps, and disguise themselves.

When I go back, I will mention this to Cronus. The agreement between the Mother Goddess and Ryan still has seven hundred years. When the Life Treasure Bottle returns to the Mother Goddess as agreed, we should also use this artifact to create life on the earth.

Following Lyanna across the light gate, Themis made a decision in her heart.

Compared to the empty and lonely Khaos world now, the Spirit World gave her a feeling of more vitality.

"Hmm?"

Passing through the illusory portal, the aura of Source Power that rushed towards her instantly stopped Themis's thoughts.

Looking around, the goddess found herself on top of a mountain that was bottomless. Seven crescent moons hung in the sky, and six layers of seemingly real interfaces were pierced by the mountain. Standing on the mountain, although she couldn't see the specific appearance of those interfaces, Themis still had a feeling of stepping the world under her feet.

[Mount Sinai], also known as [Nairalas], this was the name of the Divine Mountain, translated as 'the beginning of the moon', 'the source of Spirituality'. When she ascended here, this information was instantly 'understood' by the goddess.

Moreover, in the dark, she felt that there was a power very similar to the origin of her Divinity, which was breathing, flowing, and slowly changing its nature in the Divine Mountain.

"If all of this was opened up by Ryan, then it is truly a great feat."

Taking a deep breath, the goddess of justice sincerely praised.

Opening up interfaces and creating living beings. At least with Themis's divine authority, she didn't know how to achieve it.

"It is naturally a great feat." Lyanna said as a matter of course:

"The current world has not yet spread the Lord's name, but one day, they will know the Lord's supreme power."

With a polite smile, although she was shocked by the scene in front of her, Themis still felt that this was due to the special nature of the authority.

The gods had absoluteness in their respective fields, just like the goddess of agriculture in later generations could prevent all things from growing, but without the corresponding authority, even an existence like Uranus could not change this result by relying solely on power.

Themis didn't know what kind of Divinity [Spirituality] was, but she thought that everything in front of her was probably the embodiment of the absoluteness of this Divinity.

Following Lyanna forward, under her feet were steps paved with unknown materials, and various strange man-made objects on both sides of the road made the goddess dazzled.

The location opposite the light gate was not the summit of the mountain, but a part slightly lower. After all, although it could be done, Lyanna would not directly open the portal to Ryan's palace.

However, Themis didn't feel that she was being slighted. On the contrary, she was observing the surrounding scenery with great interest.

Everything in front of her was a novel scene that she had seen for the first time. This more 'civilized' product was naturally in line with the upper position of the [Law] Divinity and the [Order] Divinity.

Themis had made a decision; she would replicate the setup on Mount Othrys as well.

Time flowed slowly. Although flying was forbidden on Mount Sinai, the two were already not far from the summit. Soon, under Lyanna's guidance, Themis arrived before the palace.

The magnificent man-made structure, unlike anything she had seen before, once again made Themis's eyes light up. Compared to the Khaos gods' current practice of using the sky as their tent and the earth as their seat, this creation, which seemed to exude order and civilization, undoubtedly pleased the goddess greatly.

The buildings were not densely packed, and each had a different style and aesthetic. Although Themis could only see a few nearby, she still noted their designs one by one.

This is where the gods should reside, the goddess thought to herself.

"This is it, the Lopes Temple, where my master welcomes guests."

Pointing to the magnificent hall before her, Lyanna smiled slightly, then bid farewell, "I have completed my task of guiding you. Next is your meeting with my master."

"I—"

Unexpectedly, Lyanna was leaving just as they reached the entrance. Themis was about to ask her to stay when she saw the black-robed goddess smile at her and then gently take a step back.

With that one step, just as when she had first appeared, she vanished without a trace.

However, this time Themis did discern some clues. This movement of hers seemed to be using the Space-Time power of the Spirit World, instantly arriving in a different layer of the Spirit World.

Even if she hadn't moved at all, once the two were separated by a layer of worlds, she naturally wouldn't be able to perceive her existence.

Seeing this, Themis couldn't help but think of the first layer of the Spirit World, the Phantom Spirit World, which was exactly like the Underworld.

Perhaps before, Lyanna had actually been standing beside her, standing in the Shadow Moon, but because she couldn't see through the barrier between reality and a layer of the Spirit World, she hadn't noticed it at all.

Can Cronus achieve this level of Space-Time power?

After a moment of contemplation, Themis shook her head. She didn't dwell on it but instead stepped towards the hall before her.

Now that she had arrived at the door, it wouldn't be good to keep the master waiting. Besides, for a goddess who also wanted to build a palace, the interior furnishings of the palace were also worth learning from.

Stepping over the threshold, her eyes suddenly brightened. Compared to the light of the crescent moon, the palace interior seemed brighter.

Looking around, there were desks, lamps, utensils, decorations, and the black-clad god rising from the main seat. Although Themis didn't yet know what 'civilization' was, she felt that everything she saw was more to her liking than anything she had experienced in the past.

"Welcome, madam."

Lightly raising his cup, Ryan smiled at the approaching goddess of justice and said, "Before we discuss serious matters, please enjoy the dinner I have prepared for you."

"Thank you for your hospitality, Ryan."

Raising an eyebrow slightly, Themis accepted the floating cup and drank the red liquid in one gulp.

This is wine.

The liquid seemed to contain 'Memory'. When she drank it, Themis knew its name.

To her, it was just a decent drink. But the goddess believed that her brothers would definitely love this creation.

Putting down her glass, Themis stepped forward and took a seat. She had a bit more anticipation for the dinner to come.
