Vision returned to Mount Othrys. When Ryan returned to the Spirit World, the Banquet officially began.
In the past, for various reasons, the Gods of Khaos rarely gathered together. But taking advantage of this rare grand occasion, some God Systems that originally had conflicts also put down their disputes and sat together in the same Divine Temple.
Perhaps because they could often learn some new Knowledge, Divine Mountain had somewhat led the trend in the past millennium. Regardless of whether they liked Cronus, the God King, the Gods of Khaos did indeed enjoy his hospitality.
In the blink of an eye, three months passed quickly. In this era when the Earth was still desolate, because there were no short-lived Humans to compare with, the Gods' perception of Time was always not profound.
At this time, the Moon was even shorter to the Gods than the Sky of later generations.
The Banquet was coming to an end, but just as the God King was about to raise his glass, an unexpected topic aroused heated discussion among the Gods and eventually reached him.
The cause of the matter was very simple. Just like the God King's past experience, in the past millennium, Ker, God of Destruction, had visited more than one God on Earth. Living in the remote Underworld, where even Plants had difficulty growing, this was one of his few recreational activities.
Thanks to him, the Gods became interested in 'Nymphs', a non-God intelligent Lifeform. But Ker claimed that this was the Creation of the Lady of the Night, and they did not dare to face the Divine might of the Ancient God of Creation, so they had to put away their thoughts.
Until today, when Ryan created a monster comparable to a True God in full view of everyone, the Titan Gods finally recalled that the Lady of the Night seemed to have these Lifeforms called Nymphs only after visiting the Underworld.
In addition, Ryan possessed the Divinity of [Spirituality] and had obtained the [Life Treasure Bottle] from the Earth Mother, so many Gods couldn't help but make some guesses.
The Gods discussed it at the Banquet. Finally, Iapetus, God of Speech, stood up first. As one of the only two Weak Divine Power Titans, the God of Speech did not feel the dignity of being a God at all. Compared to other Gods, he hoped that there would be more weak but thoughtful Lifeforms on Earth.
A sense of happiness is always compared. This is true for Humans, and it is also true for Gods.
So, under the gaze of the Gods, Cronus quietly listened to Iapetus's story. The God of Speech hoped that the God King could create some new Life on Earth like Ryan and the Mother of Night.
"I understand what you mean."
"But I'm not very clear about this matter either."
Sitting on the high platform, Cronus lied through his teeth, "I once borrowed the [Life Treasure Bottle] from the Earth Mother, but I failed to create conscious Life. Perhaps the Wisdom of Life is different from Plants, it involves the Divinity of other fields."
"As for how Ryan Your Highness and Nyx Your Highness did it, I don't know. As Ancient Gods born at the beginning of Creation, perhaps they know some Secrecy that I don't know."
Although Cronus had heard about the existence of Spirit World Lifeforms from Themis long ago, he still pretended not to know.
Others may not know about his and Themis's borrowing of the [Life Treasure Bottle], but the God of Speech and the God of Meteorology Crios were his neighbors on Divine Mountain, and they knew about it very well.
Now that Iapetus mentioned this matter, he just wanted him to come forward and ask one of these two Ancient Gods for help in the name of the God King.
Although Cronus also agreed with the Creation of Life, it was impossible for him to find someone himself.
As Cronus's voice fell, the first generation Titans exchanged glances. They did not express their opinions, but the new generation of Gods began to discuss it.
Most of the new Gods had not seen the Earth Mother, and their Knowledge of the previous era was limited to legends. Now that they heard that the God King had failed to create Life, they couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
"Can't even the [Life Treasure Bottle] create living beings?"
"Unbelievable, I thought the Earth Mother's treasure was the source of Life."
"I heard that the original Treasure Bottle contained a [Seed of All Things], which the Earth Mother used to plant a Golden Apple Tree. I wonder if using the Golden Apple can create intelligent Life."
"It seems that the God King is nothing more than that. It is said that the previous God King had power comparable to the Mother of Night. If he were still here, he could probably create Life like Nyx Your Highness."
"I heard my Father God say that when the Sky Dominator was still around, my cousin didn't even dare to breathe loudly."
"Is that so? Your Mountain God lineage really knows a lot."
"Urea Your Highness is one of the few Ancient Gods who was not suppressed by the Sky Father. Of course, he has no scruples about these things. It's naturally different for you Titan God Race."
"."
His expression remained unchanged, but Cronus couldn't help but feel a little impatient as he listened to the gods' increasingly off-topic discussion.
Casting a sidelong glance at the God of Speech, Cronus decided that since he was so interested in creating life, he would let him face Ryan.
"Cough, cough—"
Clearing his throat, Cronus drew the attention of the gods. He looked at Iapetus and said with a gentle smile:
"Iapetus, God in charge of Speech, perhaps the esteemed Lord of the Spirit World is indeed more proficient in the matter of bestowing wisdom upon Creation."
"Since you brought up this matter, then my brother, I'll leave it to you."
"In the name of the God King, I entrust you to visit Ryan, Your Highness, and invite him to jointly create life. If such a feat can be accomplished, I believe the gods will remember your merit."
"But, Your Majesty—"
Before the God King could finish speaking, Iapetus's expression immediately changed.
The battle three months ago was still fresh in his mind. He couldn't even defeat the monsters Ryan had just created, and he didn't want to run to the Underworld at all.
But clearly, since a busybody had jumped out on his own, the gods wouldn't give him a chance to refuse.
"I think what God King Your Majesty said makes sense," Okeanos said first.
Perhaps because of Cronus's steadily increasing God King Divinity, the Lord of the Outer Sea used an honorific this time.
"Isn't the Divinity of [Speech] meant to be used here, my brother? I believe you can persuade him."
"If the Earth can be filled with conscious life, I hope you remember to add some new life to the sea as well."
"Yes." Pontus's firstborn, Nereus, Friendliness of the Sea, didn't want to be left behind either: "The near seas should also have life. If you can accomplish this, my father will also be grateful for your achievements."
The two Sea Gods spoke one after another, and the gods also began to discuss it. In the end, under the gaze of the gods, Iapetus accepted the task.
The banquet, which was originally intended to be terminated, was postponed. The gods watched the God of Speech head to the Underworld, waiting for the results he would bring.
Although they weren't very clear about what it would take to create life, they didn't think Ryan would refuse the request of so many gods if it wasn't too difficult.
But whether he refused or not, whether the person who went to make the request would be remembered by the Lord of the Spirit World was not within their scope of concern.
Even the Lord of the Outer Sea, after learning that Atlas's relationship with his father and brothers was average, no longer took this brother to heart.
The Divinity of [Speech] was ultimately too weak.
