Ryan didn't take it to heart after casually creating an alternative God of Beauty.

Ceto actually doesn't have much presence in later generations; only her monstrous children appear in the epics of Humans, and then are used to highlight the great achievements of Demigod 'Heroes'.

As a fellow monster, compared to King of Ten Thousand Demons Typhon, she is not even as good as Typhon's many offspring.

But now, as a God, Ceto may leave some new traces in the History of Khaos.

Since the birth of Metis and Ceto's rebirth, another seven hundred years have passed.

The world never revolves around one person. Although Ryan has lived in seclusion for seven hundred years, it does not affect the world of Khaos becoming more and more prosperous.

One hundred years after returning to the Spirit World, a bright Moon hung again in the night Sky of Khaos, which had been dim for nine hundred years. That was the daughter of Hyperion and Theia, the Moon Goddess Selene.

This Goddess, who should have been powerful in the original trajectory, was extraordinarily weak, because she had lost all concepts related to the [Moon]. Her limit was Weak Divine Power, and this was thanks to the Moon being the largest luminous Celestial Body in the night Sky.

This matter greatly annoyed Hyperion. He suppressed his son because the Sun could not be divided, but Selene, as his daughter, should have been his best Helper in ruling the Starry Sky, but she disappointed him greatly.

For this reason, Hyperion hesitated for a long time, but he finally came to the Underworld. After all, in his opinion, as long as he didn't seek Prophecy from Ryan and allow himself to be caught in the Net of Fate, then the so-called God of Spirituality was nothing to be afraid of.

The Twin Gods of the Night, who had retreated in the past, had mostly made the same mistake as the two generations of God Kings, binding their own hands and feet because of Prophecy.

Therefore, Hyperion searched everywhere in the Underworld. He tried to find Ryan and have him return the concept of the [Moon]. The Sun God was unwilling to cause trouble for himself for a sister with whom he had an ordinary relationship, but a daughter with the potential for Great Divine Power was different.

But facing Hyperion's actions, Ryan was too lazy to pay attention. So, after searching for several years, the Sun God could only angrily release power around the Shadow Moon, but could not touch the Light Body that was close at hand.

Returning without success, Hyperion turned to Cronus. He thought that Ryan was able to take away Selene's power by relying on the God King's decree. As long as Cronus canceled this order, the concept of the Moon would return to its original owner.

But Cronus decisively refused. Not to mention that the ownership of the 'Moon' was an Oath he had made to the world, even if it wasn't, he wouldn't give this brother, with whom he had always been at odds, a good look.

Moreover, others may not know, but Cronus was very clear. Referring to his own Space-Time Origin, he knew that before the concept of the [Moon] gathered in the Past, it might have been controlled by Ryan because of the God King's Divinity; but after the Past, it would probably be gone forever.

So, in order to cover up the truth of his own Origin loss, Cronus was even less likely to agree to this rude request.

Hyperion was furious at being repeatedly rejected, but feeling the increasingly powerful aura of the God King, he was somewhat helpless. In the end, he had no choice but to return to the Sky and vent his anger on the surroundings.

So, during that time, the Sun in the Sky wantonly released its power, and the temperature of the entire world rose. Fortunately, at this time, the Earth was basically inhabited by Gods, so it didn't cause any disasters. However, because of this incident, the Third Generation Gods of Khaos also learned that in the Underworld, there was an Ancient God who controlled the Shadow Moon and Spirituality, but rarely came out.

After some more years, Astraeus and Eos were born one after another. The former was the son of the God of Meteorology and Eurybia, the God of Constellations. The latter was Hyperion's second daughter, the Goddess of Dawn.

And different from what was recorded in mythology, this time there was no scene of rape. Or rather, Ryan didn't think there was much truth in this myth in the first place. It was rumored that Eos was cursed by the God of Beauty to only fall in love with Mortals, but looking at her later actions, she didn't seem like a Goddess who cherished her purity.

So, after only a hundred years, these two new Gods spontaneously came together. They gave birth to the Four Wind Gods and many Star Gods, most of whom were God-like beings without Divinity.

There was only one exception among the Star Gods, she was Astraea, the Star of Justice, the Goddess of Purity. Although her power was not strong, as a genuine True God, she was regarded as a leader by the Star Gods.

The Anemoi Wind Gods were much more powerful. They tore apart part of the Divinity from their grandfather, the God of Meteorology, and represented the winds of four directions respectively.

They were the North Wind God Boreas, the South Wind God Notus, the God of the East Wind Eurus, and the West Wind God Zephyrus. With their birth, the airflow of Khaos became more varied.

At the same time, on the Earth and in the Ocean, the Ash Tree Goddesses and the Goddesses of Vengeance were born one after another.

They were transformed from the God Blood left by Uranus. The former were called Meliae, and the latter were called Erinyes.

Perhaps because Ceto, the Danger of the Sea, had drunk the God Blood before the Goddesses of Vengeance were born, they regarded Ceto as their eldest sister and stayed with her in the Outer Sea.

The three Ash Tree Goddesses came to Mount Othrys to pay their respects to the God King and were taken by Rhea, who had already become the God Queen, to her side.

On the other side, Iapetus on the Divine Mountain also had his own God Child. He and Clymene, the daughter of the Lord of the Outer Sea and his own niece, successively gave birth to three Gods, all of whom would become famous in later generations.

The initial God of Strength, later the Sky Holder Atlas. The Creator of Bronze Humans, the Foresighted Fire Thief Prometheus, and the Hindsightful Dullard Epimetheus.

Unlike the weakness of his two older brothers, Atlas displayed extraordinary Divine Power from the day he was born, possessing the potential to become a Great Divine Power.

For this reason, the Lord of the Outer Sea personally came to congratulate the birth of his nephew/grandson and blessed him to never be violated by the Ocean.

Of course, while his brothers were working hard, Okeanos, who loved Fertility, was not idle himself.

For seven hundred years, thousands of children were born one after another in the Khaos world, and rivers and lakes began to spread across the Earth.

Most of them were Regional Gods, but there were still a few True Gods. They were Eurynome of the Waterweed Pasture, Goddess of Boiling Water Perseis, Goddess of Foresight Pronoia, Goddess of Gentleness Doris, and Goddess of Healing Philyra.

Because of the increase in children, the conflict between Pontus and Okeanos became more and more intense. Their children had several battles on the Sea, but there were no obvious results.

However, discerning people could see that if it weren't for the God King on the Divine Mountain, perhaps the War would have broken out between these two Sea Gods long ago.

In addition to this, in the process of the birth of many Gods, there was also something that made the Gods confused.

Probably a thousand years after Cronus ascended the throne, many Mountain Gods and River Gods on the Earth noticed that a emerald green Light flew out from the ground and went to the Earth Mother's residence next to the East Sea.

After that, the Khaos Earth vibrated inexplicably for three years. That was the Earth Mother's anger, but there were no subsequent results.

Later, the God King Cronus came to visit the Earth Mother and borrowed the [Life Treasure Bottle], but returned without success. It was not until the Goddess of Justice, God Queen Rhea, went to ask for it with him that they got what they wanted.

But what disappointed the three Titan Gods was that as the source of Life in Khaos, the [Life Treasure Bottle] could indeed create living beings, but none of them had consciousness.

Helpless, Themis had to give up the idea of creating Life for the time being and continue her preparations.

So hundreds of years passed, and the preparations that lasted for one thousand five hundred years came to an end. On this day, the Goddess of Justice and Law finally stood on Mount Othrys and began to legislate for the world.
