"Honorable God King, before the Prophecy, I hope you understand one fact, that is, Prophecy has always been an observation, not a creation."

Ryan took another sip of the sweet juice and solemnly explained, "I cannot change fate, I am only observing it, or even just observing a part of it."

"Moreover, observation is not without a price. When you know it, it also knows you."

"What do you mean?" Facing an unfamiliar field, the God King was a little puzzled, "'It knows me' means what?"

"Fate was originally uncertain. Although it has a fixed trajectory, it is not necessarily unchangeable."

"But if you try to observe it through Prophecy, then fate will become a destined and unchangeable ending. You can only postpone its arrival, distort its meaning, but you cannot make it disappear completely."

"So, do you still want me to make this Prophecy?"

In the end, Ryan asked the God King.

The previous words were not fabricated by Ryan. This was the information he obtained after acquiring the [Prophecy] divine authority.

When anyone tries to directly observe fate, whether or not they borrow the hand of another god, they themselves become a part of fate.

People cannot lift themselves off the ground by pulling their hair, so no existence can violate the shackles they have become.

When he knew this, Ryan decided that he would never Prophecy himself.

As for the "Prophecies" made by some gods in later generations, Ryan would rather call them curses of fate.

On the other side, Uranus breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Ryan's explanation, but then hesitated again.

The price of Prophecy was high, which made him less afraid of the Lady of the Night who controlled fate, but he still wanted to know his ending.

'The first God King.'

Thinking of Ryan's title for him down the mountain, Uranus made up his mind.

"I believe in my own strength." The Sky Father said, facing Ryan's gaze. At this time, he had just obtained the position of God King, and his powerful strength made him full of confidence.

"Make a Prophecy, Ryan. No matter what the result is, I promise you one not excessive condition in the name of the God King."

"I believe that with my current strength, nothing is destined to be unchangeable."

As the first God King, the symbol of patriarchy, Uranus, who originally stood at the peak of great divine power, took another half step upward.

Now he stood in the same position as the Primordial Gods, and even Gaia, who was not good at fighting, was no longer his opponent.

This made him very confident. He believed that even if the result of the Prophecy was not good, he could, as Ryan said, postpone its arrival and distort its meaning.

'Hehe, the gods of Khaos are always so confident.'

Ryan chuckled in his heart, things were still developing as he had expected.

Meeting the God King's gaze, Ryan nodded lightly, and a mysterious white light appeared in his dark eyes in the next moment.

This was not a disguised Prophecy to deceive. Ryan was really exploring Uranus's future.

But the result was obvious. The divine authority obtained merely because of a Prophecy was very weak, even the power of the Spiritual divine authority was several times stronger than it.

In a void, Ryan saw nothing. With his current strength, he was far from being able to glimpse the fate of the God King.

But this did not prevent him from making his first great Prophecy.

"One era." Under the gaze of the gods, Ryan said, "You will rule the world for one era."

"You and Gaia will also give birth to new offspring, but they will not have the divine and perfect appearance that we do."

"One day in the future, your eldest son will raise a knife against you, and your kingship will be shaken because of it."

Bang! "Nonsense!"

Before Uranus could react, Okeanos on the side could no longer tolerate Ryan's words.

Despite being only three days old, the eldest brother of the twelve titans already possessed divine power close to the intermediate level. Violent power surged within him, pressing fiercely towards Ryan, as he tried to stop the stranger god's wild words.

He did succeed, as Ryan stopped speaking; but he also failed, because the Sky Father spoke.

"Stop, my child." With a wave of his hand, Okeanos' divine power was easily quelled, and Uranus looked towards him.

"You shouldn't attack a guest."

The God King's tone revealed neither joy nor anger, but everyone present felt his suspicion at this moment.

"Father, I swear to the world that I will never challenge your position as God King."

Seeing his father speak, the Lord of the Ocean knelt on the ground, expressing his loyalty to his father.

Uranus remained noncommittal.

Oaths do have a binding effect on gods, but they are not fatal.

Even now, before the authority of oaths has been delegated by the world, violating an oath would at most result in a drop in divine power and turmoil in divine duties. But if one could ascend to the position of God King, everything could be recovered.

"Respected seer, is that all there is to the Prophecy?"

The Sky Father ignored his son and continued to ask Ryan, who had been interrupted.

If that was all, then this Prophecy was nothing more than that.

He would divide his eldest son into three parts and throw them into the depths of Tartarus, the dark void and the depths of the earth, so that he could never be his enemy for eternity.

"No," but Ryan's answer clearly did not meet his expectations.

Under the Lord of the Ocean's angry gaze, Ryan smiled and said to the God King, "Prince Okeanos will never be the true knife-wielder, Your Majesty."

"The Prophecy shows that the one who overthrows your throne will receive help from another of your relatives."

"Everything will begin where it ends."

"And the eldest son who wields the knife will certainly not be your oldest child."

As soon as the words fell, the eyes of the remaining eleven titans in the hall changed, only the Lord of the Ocean breathed a sigh of relief.

Although in the complete Prophecy, he also had the possibility of becoming an accomplice, Okeanos was certainly not the main culprit.

Everyone is guilty, which means no one is guilty, he is still very clear about this. Unless his father wants to sit on the throne alone, he will not be punished.

The hall was silent for a while, and finally Gaia broke the silence.

Her gentle face was full of worry; at this moment, Gaia was not yet the mother of the gods full of calculations.

She looked at Ryan, who had just made the Prophecy, and asked in a serious tone, "Respected Ryan, wise seer, I wonder if you can give us more hints?"

"Because of your prophecy, suspicion will fill the relationship between father and child, and the nascent divine court will hardly find peace. I don't think you want to see this scene either."

But facing Gaia's implicitly threatening request, Ryan calmly shook his head.

"I'm really sorry, revered Mother Earth."

"It's not that I don't want to interpret it, but in this regard, the prophet himself is not as wise as the listener."

"After all, I am just an observer, a relayer. The true meaning of fate is still very far from me."

Finally, Ryan gave Gaia an irrefutable answer.

"If you still have doubts about this, you can go beneath the night."

"I believe that in the realm of fate, the Lady of the Night's aspect, the destined Ananke, will have a more detailed interpretation. As her elder sister, you will certainly not return empty-handed."
