The DanMachi Arc Ends Here

It was because of this that Gaia became certain of Ming Ge's sincerity and believed in Ming Ge once again.

This includes the element of Ming Ge's trustworthiness, but it also reveals just how naive Gaia truly is.

"Ming Ge."

Gaia gazed at Ming Ge with an ethereal look, and Ming Ge could also see Gaia.

Even though they were in different dimensions, the two could still look at each other so easily.

"I love you!"

Gaia revealed joy and tenderness, showcasing her pure love.

It was not a grand love for all things in the world, but a small love for Ming Ge alone.

In the beginning, she loved the world, loved life, and loved the gods who were like her own children.

Therefore, she created the world, created life, and established order, yet she was rejected by what she created.

Ultimately, the chaotic and dark side symbolizing Gaia was amplified, and she was banished to the dark and chaotic side of the world.

As a primordial natural force and the original earth mother goddess Gaia, she can nurture all things on the positive side of the planet, and also assimilate with darkness on the negative side.

The goddess, who had fallen into darkness, hated the world and the life she had given birth to. Therefore, she used the power of the Earth Mother to draw upon the planet's ley lines, thus creating the Dungeon.

The monsters in the Dungeon hate life and hate the world!

The banished goddess longed for sunlight and the sky, so the monster yearned to come to the ground, dreaming of one day welcoming back the banished goddess.

That's all.

Thank you for your love.

Ming Ge said softly, "Love is mutual. I am just a human being and cannot fall in love with you immediately."

"But I think this is only temporary... I will fall in love with you over the long years, so—please pamper me as much as you like."

Gaia, being too sacred, cannot be judged in the same way as ordinary human love.

It's not about men and women, but from a much broader perspective.

Compared to human love, the love of gods is greater, and also more profound.

That concludes Chapter 153, the "Disaster in the Land" arc.

Once, a goddess was born from chaos and disorder.

This goddess deeply loved this world and fulfilled her duties.

She altered the planet's ecosystem and established the original order.

She created the heavens, perfected the rules of the world, and from this she gave birth to many gods.

Her appearance symbolizes the world's transition from chaos to order.

Then the gods began to be born, which represented the transition from order to complete order.

The process of order transforming into completeness will gradually give birth to gods, which means that the rule gods of this world are not born all at once, but one by one.

The gods who came after her were all born from the clouds in the heavens, so not all gods saw Gaia.

However, because the gods are 'omniscient' and can find the answers in the world's database, they all know of Gaia's existence.

The sea of clouds in the heavens is vast, covering the entire celestial realm; therefore, the gods were not born in the same place.

Furthermore, the pantheons of this world— Greece, Norse, Far East, and so on—are not independent and separate regions, but rather formed by the aggregation of gods after their birth.

In the original text, the Greece gods often mention the word "fellow countrymen".

It is important to note that the gods were not born from a pantheon, but rather formed a pantheon after their birth.

The existence of pantheons merely divides the celestial realm into regions and powers; they do not have any significance in terms of an actual cosmology.

After the rules were perfected, the celestial realm fell into an eternal stagnation, which is a symbol of the complete celestial order.

The seasons no longer change, there is no longer a concept of life and death, and all things are eternal and unchanging.

Therefore, deities symbolize immutability.

In contrast, the lower realm is constantly changing, with both chaos and order, the changing seasons, and the endless cycle of life.

This is why unchanging gods seek change, and why many gods deeply love the mortal realm.

"I can sense the network of the Dungeon... what am I...?"

Ming Ge blinked, seemingly lost in thought.

"I'm handing over Dungeon to you."

Gaia's ethereal voice reached Ming Ge's ears. She said, "Your growth requires this: the order of humanity, the order of heaven, the order of the planet—all of this is within the scope of your power."

"You are the child of humanity; it's only a matter of time before you take control of humanity."

"As long as you kill the gods as before, the order of heaven will eventually fall into your hands."

"The planetary order is the only fundamental principle, vast in scope, and without shortcuts. The Dungeon I created can be transformed into your power, helping you accelerate your control over this planet."

"I see." Ming Ge suddenly realized, then closed her eyes.

"Second Magic - Magic Network."

By maximizing the power of the Magic Network through humanitarian authority, the network of Dungeon can be reshaped.

Now, even if the Dungeon is restored to its original state, it will not affect Ming Ge; on the contrary, it will free some of Ming Ge's puppets.

It's quite troublesome to have Ming Ge's puppets lead the protection of the adventurers every time, but it's Ming Ge's promise after all, so we can't just ignore it.

After being restored to its former state, the Dungeon became a place purely for grinding monsters.

Besides that, there are two other very important aspects to the Dungeon.

The first point is that Ming Ge needs to extend his control over the earth's veins through the Dungeon, the core of which is the second magic, the Magic Network.

Managing, controlling, utilizing, and transmitting ley lines—this is the core purpose of the second magic.

The second point is the reincarnation system. Ming Ge intends to control reincarnation, but the reincarnation system is constructed by the order of heaven, which means it is naturally controlled by the gods.
