Creating Life

In the main hall, Nereus was still expressing his opinions.

Many gods didn't really care about the ownership of souls, and they didn't understand the value of souls at this time. They just chose to wait and see, thinking that they didn't need to pay anything anyway.

Moreover, it must be said that Nereus's subsequent views sounded quite reasonable at first.

"Everyone, souls are just creations of authority, not precious things. To Ryan, they are like seawater to me, and rocks to Urea. They are insignificant in themselves, and there is no burden as long as not too many are created."

"Moreover, I heard that Ryan also possesses the Divinity of [Memory]? From this perspective, the souls of creations should also belong to each god."

Nodding slightly, at least to the latter, many gods showed expressions of agreement.

The souls of mortals contain memories, and no god wants their secrets to be known by others. Perhaps they might inadvertently mention things in front of mortals that they shouldn't know.

"But you can bestow Divinity."

Listening to the gods' discussions, Themis spoke.

"Letting too many creations live forever is also a burden for the gods, but a few are different."

"As long as those you favor are immortal, there will naturally be no issue of souls returning."

Faced with Themis's suggestion, the gods fell silent. Not all of them hadn't thought of this, but few who had thought of it didn't point it out, after all, it wasn't them who were giving up souls.

"Let's try again."

Finally, a god suggested, "Just some souls, maybe Ryan will change his mind?"

As soon as this suggestion came out, some gods agreed, and more chose to acquiesce. But this time, Iapetus refused to go again.

He had already been an envoy once and achieved a good result, so the gods did not force him, but sent Zephyrus, the God of the West Wind, to go.

Although the wind gods and the star gods were siblings, the blood relations in the Khaos world were really not valued by many gods. Compared to their maternal grandfather, they were closer to Crios, who was in charge of Meteorology, so even though the star god lineage had returned to the Sky with Hyperion, the four wind gods still chose to stay.

Accepting the appointment, Zephyrus set off immediately. He transformed into an invisible stream of air, rushing towards the Underworld along the cracks in the earth. But this time, after a full half month, when the wind god returned, he angrily stated that no god paid any attention to him at all.

He stayed in front of the Shadow Moon for more than ten days, trying every means to find the entrance to the Spirit World, but the result was obvious, so he had to return the same way.

"There's no need to send anyone again." The God King finally spoke, he knew this would be the result.

Only these foolish fellows would think that Ryan was willing to give souls to Life because of the gods' requests. As early as when Themis saw the Life of the Spirit World, he had already questioned this.

Ryan was happy to see the emergence of Life, the God King was very sure of this, but he definitely had other requests for it, but Cronus still sat back and watched the gods' useless actions. Now, watching the wind god return without success, Cronus couldn't help but feel a sense of inexplicable pleasure.

Only the God King's Wisdom could discover the true nature of some gods, instead of being like them, who still didn't know that some gods could devour the origin.

If Ryan were here, he would tell Cronus that this was a sense of superiority of 'I am the only one sober while everyone else is drunk, I am the only one pure while the world is turbid'.

"The Lord of Spirituality should have all rights to the Soul, this is the right given to him by Divinity."

Looking around at the gods, Cronus said unhurriedly:

"So if no one is willing to try to use his 'power' to change this result, then let's settle it like this."

"Five hundred years later, we will go together to ask the Earth Mother for the [Life Treasure Bottle], use it to create the bodies of living beings, and then Ryan will bestow souls."

"Then let's do that." Okeanos sighed.

Although he was also very interested in the Soul, it wasn't enough for him to do anything about it. After all, he wasn't very clear about what the meaning of the Soul's existence was.

As for Cronus's mention of five hundred years later, he wasn't surprised by this. The Sun God's son replacing him in operating the Sun was a foregone conclusion. Although everyone knew that even after five hundred years, Helios would definitely not be a match for his father, this God King was probably planning to take the opportunity to do something.

The father of many Star Gods was the eldest son of the God of Meteorology, Crios, Astraeus. If the God King brought another Sun God under his command, even the other Titans would have to admit that he had the qualifications to interfere with the Sky.

"Then it's settled."

"We will each create the Life we want and have full ownership of them."

"Gods on land create those on land, Gods in the Ocean create those in the Ocean, and they don't interfere with each other."

The Gods nodded. Neither the God King nor the Lord of the Outer Sea were willing to take the lead, so naturally they wouldn't do anything extra.

With the matter of Life settled, the banquet should have come to an end. But in the end, Cronus's suggestion aroused the interest of the Gods.

He hoped to create a special species, similar to Gods, but without Divinity.

"Your Majesty the God King, is it really necessary to gather the power of the Gods to jointly create a species?"

"Of course." Cronus said with a smile, "I plan to create a race that worships us, modeled after the Gods."

"Even with the Life Treasure Bottle, none of us are Gods who are good at creation, and no one can complete such a feat alone. But if we unite, this kind of Life may be born."

"I agree." Iapetus was the first to support it.

The reason he initially proposed the idea of creating Life was because of his insignificance in power among the Gods. Compared to displaying authority in front of a group of strange-looking Life, he preferred to have some Life similar to himself, but much weaker.

"Will creating Life like us damage the dignity of the Gods?" a God asked.

"No, they will 'die', but we won't. Although I haven't seen what 'death' is yet."

The Goddess Rhea's words made the Gods nod. This Goddess rarely spoke, but since it was her husband's suggestion, she still spoke out in support.

Scanning the Gods, Cronus nodded in satisfaction. He didn't care what Ryan thought of the 'Soul', but filling the earth with Life under his rule could also enhance the God King's position.

Themis's behavior gave him some Inspiration. Although that guy who lived in the Spirit World had many conspiracies and tricks, as long as they didn't plot against him, he could still gain some benefits.

As for his last proposal, in this regard, he and Iapetus wanted to go together.

As the King of the Gods, his position among the Gods was not as good as the Lord of the Outer Sea and his two uncles. Even if the Divinity of the Sun God had not been divided, and Theia still needed a few years to reach Great Divine Power, Hyperion was probably more present than him.

Under such circumstances, creating some beings similar to the Gods and watching them worship him was not a bad choice.

On the other hand, his Divine Palace also needed some other Life. As it was now, even offering delicacies and wine required the Gods to do it themselves. Cronus also hoped to have some creatures that conformed to the aesthetics of the Gods to complete these trivial tasks for him.

"Since everyone has no objections," Cronus finally said, "then let's end today's gathering."

"Five hundred years later, Gods who are interested in participating in this matter can go to the East Sea Coast, and then visit the Earth Mother together."

"Creating Life is not a simple matter, I guess you all need some time to prepare."
