Li Si looked at the records before him, barely able to keep his expression composed.
According to these Elven records, the giant pantheon was a divine group centered around Annan, Father of All Things.
No giant tribe had come into being naturally. Rather, they had been born from Annan and his different consorts, then multiplied and flourished. Their faith and legends were deeply rooted in giant civilization and history.
Annan was the supreme god of the giant pantheon, known as the Father of All Things or the Father of Giants.
In giant mythology, he had created the framework of the world and the giant race, and was even believed to have shaped the elements themselves.
Different giant subspecies worshipped him in different ways.
Hill Giants regarded him as the giver of abundance, while Stone Giants revered him as the embodiment of art and craftsmanship.
Annan possessed both philosophical contemplation and instinctive desire.
His power encompassed a considerable number of domains, yet because he chose to remain "unaware" of certain matters, he became embroiled in the struggles among his offspring.
His prolific nature and romantic affairs led to the pantheon's complex conflicts, eventually even causing its schism.
Despairing over the struggles among his children, Annan disappeared from Gaia World and rarely interfered with reality thereafter.
His avatars had appeared in Gaia World only a few times, and there had been no news of any appearance for nearly ten thousand years.
Annan's pantheon had been centered on the gods of rank, but this system gradually collapsed amid later conflicts.
Annan's marital history was complicated and had a profound influence on the pantheon's division.
His first consort had been an "unknown Sky Goddess." Together, they had borne their eldest son, Sun God Sichou Maozi, and eldest daughter, Xiyati, God of Nature and Hunting.
