"Ryan."

On Divine Mountain, Rhea, who had been constantly by the God King's side, suddenly spoke.

The gods' gazes were drawn over. The Goddess of the Passage of Time speaking at this moment clearly represented not only herself but also the God King's will.

"Ryan, your creation fills me with awe, but the Earth cannot be without the Sun, just as the Underworld cannot be without the illumination of the Shadow Moon. If the day were to lose its Light from now on, all things in the world would head towards desolation."

The collision in the Sky continued, the Sun God's power fluctuating more and more. If it were only Hyperion himself weakening, Rhea wouldn't have wanted to say anything.

Her words clearly had an exaggerated element, but feeling the Great Sun's origin's turmoil, the God Queen was very clear that the world under Cronus's rule lacking a Celestial Body was something he absolutely could not accept.

The Sun God could pay the price, but the Sun could not be harmed.

Noncommittal to the God Queen's suggestion, Ryan looked at the God King and God Queen, whose expressions had slightly changed, and still did not insist on going through with it.

Putting aside the fact that he actually didn't have the ability to destroy the Sun, even if he did, he couldn't think of any benefit to doing so.

"Hyperion should be punished for his arrogance, but you are right, Khaos truly cannot be without this Celestial Body."

"So, with the gods as witnesses, I can barely make some concessions. If Hyperion is willing to apologize to me and swear to relinquish control of the Sun for five hundred years, letting his own son run it in his place, then I can forgive his actions."

His lips twitched, and Cronus beside him didn't know what to say about Ryan's 'concession'. Not permanent, just five hundred years, which seemed very broad, but the God King didn't even need to think about it. Having experienced true freedom, Helios would absolutely not be willing to continue accepting his father's control.

Perhaps a father-son feud would once again play out in the future, but that had nothing to do with the God King. In fact, deep down, Cronus was quite happy to see this scene unfold.

In the Past, the God King's orders did not leave Divine Mountain, but if he could take the Starry Sky, he would also have a territory that he could control.

"Respected Sun God, I imagine you have heard."

Since he had received a reply, the God King no longer hesitated. He looked towards the Sky and said to Hyperion,

"As the Lord of the Spirit World said, you should pay the price for your actions. The Celestial Bodies' movements have their theorems, and the Sun rising in the east and setting in the west is the Great Sun's proper trajectory. Now, it is time for my Nephew and you to jointly govern the Starry Sky."

As his voice fell, the gods present also looked towards the Sky. If Ryan insisted on destroying the Sun, even if they were not close to Hyperion, they could not sit idly by and watch such a thing happen. But if it only involved the Sun God's family dispute, that was another matter.

In the Sky, listening to the voice coming from the Earth, Hyperion unwillingly threw out a punch. But looking at Eclipse, which tore apart and then closed again, he finally succumbed.

He didn't know if this monster had a limit to the transformation of the Sun's origin, but if it continued like this, he was afraid that he would become the second God in Khaos to fall from Great Divine Power.

Stopping his attack, Hyperion took a deep breath. He was silent for a while, trying to force a smile on his face, but he ultimately failed.

"Yes, you are right."

"Ryan, I apologize to you for my previous actions. You have undisputed sovereignty over the Moon, this is an agreement witnessed by the Mother Goddess and us together."

Nodding, looking at the Sun God's stiff face, Ryan still had no expression.

Hyperion's cheeks twitched. He knew what the other party wanted, so he looked at Ryan and said, word by word,

"I swear to the Styx that for the next five hundred years, my Firstborn will run the Sun in my place, this is the Punishment I deserve."

In the next moment, a wave of laws descended here. This was the spontaneous feedback of Styx's Divinity, far away in the Underworld, she had witnessed the Sun God's Oath.

"Very good." Seeing this, Ryan was finally satisfied.

"Come back, Eclipse."

He waved towards the direction of the Sun, calling out to his creation.

Although the consciousness of the Evil Spirit was chaotic and disordered, it still couldn't resist the summon of its creator. Upon leaving the Sun, as an immortal Spirit Body, it directly shattered its form, returning to Ryan in a scattered state.

Darkness ended, and sunlight once again shone upon the Earth. Everything seemed unchanged, yet everything seemed different.

"This is just a lesson."

In the sunlight, Ryan closed the Codex of Creation, smiling as he surveyed the Gods, then looked towards the disheveled figure in the sky.

"But if there's a next time, it won't just be a lesson."

His face darkened, but seeing the Black Mist wandering around Ryan, Hyperion ultimately remained silent. He turned and left, Theia and Selene, who had been silent throughout, closely following behind.

The young Moon Goddess seemed a little frightened. She had thought that her father's trip would not be successful, but she did not expect the ending to be like this.

Her eyes glanced at her aunt Phoebe. This Titan's Divinity was not strong either, but her husband Coeus, as the God of Lightless Celestial Bodies, had even touched a little of the domain of Darkness. Even among the Great Divine Power, his power was by no means ordinary.

The Moon Goddess had some thoughts again, but unfortunately, she couldn't think of any powerful God in Khaos who had a close relationship with her father.

The Sun God's family left, and around the Divine Mountain, the expressions of the Gods were different.

Some were worried, some were panicked, some were indifferent, some were in awe, and some were wary. But what they had in common was that they all silently listed Ryan in the category of "untouchable" in their hearts.

Although they were well aware that the act of eroding the origin of Divinity was by no means as easy as Ryan had shown, no one wanted to experience such a thing personally.

And Ryan, under the gaze of the Gods, felt the Divinity of Solar Eclipse on the Evil Spirit, and his mood couldn't help but be a little happy.

It wasn't that he didn't want the first Solar Eclipse of Khaos to last a little longer, long enough for Hyperion's Divine Power to completely plummet, but Ryan knew that if it continued, it would be easy for the other party to see some clues.

The origin of the Sun was indeed shaken, but that was actually the will of Khaos personally taking the knife. Eclipse was regarded by the world as a new God born from the emotions of the previous God King, and Solar Eclipse was his Divinity.

So the previous loss of origin was actually more like the division of Divinity at the birth of a new God, but Ryan used the Divine Artifact to influence the form of this process. To really compare power, even with the restraint relationship, it was difficult for the Evil Spirit to cross two Divine Power levels and truly threaten the Sun God.

However, after this time, when the Solar Eclipse concept it seized is taken over, absorbed, and digested by the Spirit World, and then re-integrated with Eclipse, possessing the power of Intermediate Divine Power and a double restraint buff, it will be a true nemesis of the Sun.

"Since the farce is over, then I won't disturb you all."

"I'm sorry to have disturbed your celebration banquet."

The latter sentence, Ryan said to the Goddess of Law.

Themis shook her head upon hearing this, she didn't care about these things in the first place.

Seeing Ryan preparing to leave, the Gods present, no matter what they thought in their hearts, all paid their respects to him. Ryan nodded in response one by one, and then the power of Space-Time emerged, and his body gradually blurred.

Before leaving, Ryan glanced at the God of Meteorology on the Divine Mountain. Theia was biased towards her husband, which was understandable, but he saw Crios's act of mobilizing Divinity to help.

However, he had already done enough today, and in the future, there would be a more suitable candidate to inflict Punishment on him.

Ryan left, and as the two Protagonists of the previous conflict left one after another, the atmosphere in the field also eased.

Today's scene made many new Gods recognize this ancient existence who lived in seclusion in the Underworld. Even the first generation Titans had different thoughts at this moment.

Okeanos couldn't help but start thinking about whether he had the opportunity to turn Ryan into his 'relative' as well. And Crios was already regretting that he shouldn't have helped just now.

As for Cronus, this God King had not shown any other performance except for intervening to mediate in the middle, as if everything was within his expectations.

But as Ryan said, the farce was over, so he didn't remain silent any longer.

"Everyone," the God King said loudly, "what happened before was just an accident. Now that the problem has been resolved, please move to my Divine Palace and enjoy the feast I have prepared for you."

Although this celebration banquet prepared for the successful legislation had a small interlude, as far as the God King was concerned, neither side of the conflict was a good person, and he was happy no matter who lost.

Now, it was naturally time for the banquet to officially begin.
