Since Themis left the Divine Mountain, another five hundred years have passed in a flash.

Time in Khaos is just so worthless, even after the first generation of Humans appeared. At least until the era of the Bronze Humans, the Gods became accustomed to calculating time in 'years' rather than 'centuries'.

Three hundred years ago, on Mount Othrys, Cronus truly became the God King. Driven by the Oath, he announced new rules for the Sun and Moon in the name of the God King, and the few remaining concepts related to the Moon completely flowed into the Spirit World.

Unsurprisingly, the future Moon Goddess will not be able to control anything except for having a huge, luminous Celestial Body of her own.

Even the Light emitted by the 'Moon' has no mystical significance other than being named 'Moonlight'.

Regarding the second Oath, Cronus also announced Ryan's sovereignty over the [Elements] and his qualification to weave the [Net] to control them.

The power of the Elements thus flowed into the Spirit World, but apart from the [Fire Element], the other Elements were mostly superficial.

Although there is no Wind God yet, [Wind] belongs to [Meteorology]. Water, Earth, Light, Darkness, etc., also have their respective Gods, only [Fire] does not.

So, unsurprisingly, there will be a Fire God in the future who cannot control the Fire Element. Moreover, as Ryan fully accommodates the Source Power of the [Fire Element], he can further touch the true [Fire] and bring this unowned natural Divinity into his grasp.

Perhaps in the future, when the God King's Firstborn is born, Khaos will still give birth to a Fire God, but she will just be a God in charge of the Material burning. From then on, the Spirituality of Fire can harm Material, but the Material of Fire cannot touch Spirituality. Therefore, within the scope of Spirituality, Ryan defines [Fire] as the first one.

In addition, during these five hundred years, Khaos has also seen many God Birth Phenomenons.

The most well-known of these is Helios, the Firstborn of Hyperion, the original Sun God.

On the day this new God was born, the entire world could see the Great Sun, which had become a thousand times more dazzling. The original [Sun] Divinity was divided into two, the larger share returning to the Titan Ancient God, and the smaller share belonging to his child.

Hyperion still represents the Sun, but his Firstborn represents the trajectory of the Sun's movement. The original Khaos world had no sunrise or Sunset, but now, there is Twilight and Dawn.

And with the division of Divinity, Hyperion, who was already close to Divine Power Level 18, was also greatly weakened, barely maintaining the level of Great Divine Power. But Divine Power can be maintained, and Divinity can be cut, but the Sun cannot become two.

So Helios, as soon as he was born, directly became a Sun God without a Sun. Losing the Celestial Body corresponding to his Divinity, Helios, even after being born for nearly a hundred years, still maintains the appearance of a child.

He has the [Sun] Divinity of Divinity Level 15, but like Ryan at the beginning, he is just a Weak Divine Power, a weak True God. This family Drama of the Titan Ancient God has caused no small amount of laughter among the Gods of Khaos.

In addition, Asteria, the Meteor Goddess, the second daughter of Coeus and Phoebe, was born. A wandering Celestial Body has been added to the Sky of Khaos. But what surprised Coeus was that his daughter only represented the Celestial Body itself.

The Light she emits does not contain the slightest energy, even though she is also a kind of star.

Leaving aside the small episodes in the Sky, there are many more Gods born in the Sea. Especially Okeanos, he is very interested in bearing children.

Hundreds more God Children were born, and many rivers, lakes, and springs appeared on the Surface, and the Lord of the Outer Sea's power began to expand outward.

Although as the 'World-Encircling River', Okeanos actually governs the far Sea and ocean currents. But as his children increased, friction began to appear between him and the Ancient Sea Gods.

A God's Divinity cannot be taken away, but that does not mean that those with similar Divinities will not fight. Just as the Earth has been expanding, the Ocean is actually getting bigger. The increased Ocean does not have a natural belonging, although the two Sea Gods previously divided these Sea Areas, it does not mean that they will always continue like this.

The two Ocean masters did not directly fight, but their children had many conflicts. But what dissatisfied the Lord of the Outer Sea was that although he had many offspring, there were only two True Gods, and Styx lived in the Underworld all year round and did not come to serve her father at all.

There was nothing he could do about it, so he could only continue to conceive children with the Goddess of Primordial Water, Tethys.

In such an environment, Metis of Wisdom in later myths, the current God of Hydrology, was born.

"Congratulations, my brother, another True God, your God Faction is getting stronger and stronger."

In a Palace in the far Sea, the God of Meteorology congratulated his long-unseen brother.

Since Themis built her Divine Temple on Mount Othrys, soon, Palaces of all sizes were all over Khaos.

At least in enjoying this, the Khaos Gods learn quickly.

"You're getting there too, aren't you? Crios, I heard you and Eurybia are together?"

"Counting the days, your first child should be born soon."

Okeanos smiled blandly, appearing less than enthusiastic.

Nearby, Crios looked somewhat embarrassed. He knew very well that Okeanos was expressing his dissatisfaction.

After all, everyone now knew that the Lord of the Outer Sea and his uncle had a conflict. Although neither had directly taken action, they hadn't been in contact for over a century.

At this time, Crios chose the youngest daughter of the Ancient Sea Gods, naturally making him very unhappy.

"I know you've had conflicts with Pontus," Crios said somewhat helplessly, "but you don't need to resort to war."

"So, which side are you on?" Okeanos asked unceremoniously, ignoring the God of Meteorology's platitudes.

".I will stay on Mount Othrys. I don't want to fight Eurybia's relatives, but I won't fight you either."

Saying this, Crios was well aware that, for him, who had not yet become a Great Divine Power, taking either side was not a good thing.

"Best be, my brother."

Okeanos glanced at Crios with a hint of warning, then turned around, looked at the Gods who had come to the banquet, and announced loudly:

"To celebrate the God Birth of my daughter, Metis, the God of Hydrology, let us begin the celebration."

"Everyone here is a friend of the Ocean God Faction."

As the words fell, the atmosphere, which had been slightly stiff due to the two Titans, finally became cheerful. The Gods spoke words of blessing and began to enjoy the Wine at the banquet.

Once these drinks, which had spread from Divine Mountain, appeared, they became the Gods' favorite things—no banquet could be without them. Rumor had it that they originated from a God in the Underworld, but no one cared about their origin.

The Gods only cared about one thing: that 'Wine' allowed them to enjoy themselves, and that was enough.

In front of the Palace, the Gods were celebrating, but in a place they couldn't see, in the Spirit World, a figure silently arrived behind the Oceanic Temple.

When the Spirit World began to spread towards the Surface, Ryan didn't choose the Continent first, but the more remote Ocean.

At this moment, he stood in the first layer of the Spirit World, looking at the small infant on the bed outside, his expression somewhat hesitant.

She was originally Metis, who was in charge of [Strategy], [Wisdom], [Thought], and [Hydrology], the first wife of the third-generation God King Zeus, and the mother of the Goddess Athena.

But now, she was just a weak infant in charge of [Hydrology].
