Chapter 15 The Beginning of the Magic Network
‘Artifacts and calendars. ’
Faced with Ryan's request, Earth Mother did not respond immediately, but she had already agreed in her heart.
Unlike the oracle, it is an artifact that gave birth to the world, and it can be donated and handed over. But as a companion of Mother Earth, the Vase of Life cannot really be taken away from her.
As for letting the changes of [Moon] guide plants and climate, Mother Earth is also acceptable. After all, the earth is her fundamental vocation, and the God of Weather must be willing to contribute to this.
"Cronus." Gaia called in her heart, asking her brave child for his opinion.
"I can agree to his request, but what about your three promises?"
At this time, Mother Earth's belly was not stable. When Ryan said the 'unquestionable new king', the Lord of the Ocean and the Sun God could no longer bear it.
If they had known the result earlier, they would have stepped forward. But now, they know it's a done deal. Cronus's power is not weaker than theirs. He is the most suitable sword wielder without being bound by an oath, and the Earth Mother will not choose anyone else.
"I promise." Cronus said to Mother Earth, and his voice was heard outside the body at the same time. He has gained an absolute advantage, but he has also attracted dissatisfaction from his brothers. Now he just wants to get a more accurate prophecy and sit on the throne, instead of bickering with his brother in his mother's womb.
"I am willing to agree to three conditions, Your Highness Ryan. As long as it does not affect my royal power, I will try my best to do it."
Nodding, Ryan was not surprised by Cronus' answer. For him, if he can become the God King, he can accept any price. If you can only be trapped in the belly of the Mother Goddess, no matter how small the price is, it is just an empty promise.
"Very good." He smiled and said his first request: "First, I want the origin of time and space."
The scene fell silent for a moment. Apparently neither the Earth Mother nor the Titans expected that Ryan would make this request.
Not too harsh, just weird.
After a while, Cronus's voice came. He wasn't angry, but he was a little confused.
"The origin of God can indeed be transferred, Your Highness, but the recipient can never truly own it. If you don't plan to be my god, then no matter how much I give you, it will only grow with time. Come back to me as time goes by.”
Cronus did not lie. The authority of the nature gods cannot be transferred unless the world takes it away. Otherwise, the divine authority of the twelve Titans would have been taken away by the god king. Being of God is the only way to give a gift in the long run, but no one would think of a prophet as someone else's servant.
"This is my thing. It's like the bottle of life. At least I need it now."
Ryan did not respond directly, but reiterated his request.
"Okay, I promise you. As the God of Time and Space, the departure of the origin will not seriously affect my power. I will give you as much as possible." Cronus promised.
Nodding with satisfaction, Ryan began to state his second condition.
"Well, the next request involves the future of the land beneath our feet."
"In an accidental prophecy, I saw that one day in the future, a new moon will rise in the sky. It is a solid celestial body like the sun. It is more suitable to hang there than the [moon] I created. So I want to find a new home for my creation."
"So you chose the underworld?"
"Yes." Ryan nodded and admitted.
"Cronus, the future god-king, I want you to make the following promise: The celestial bodies on the earth have entities, and the celestial bodies underground have no entities, so the sun and moon with entities are on the earth, and the sun and moon without entities are in Hades. The sun is a symbol of masculinity, so the sun in the sky is stronger than the sun in the underworld; the moon is a symbol of the feminine, so the moon in the underworld is stronger than the moon in the sky. The physical sun was born first, so all the concepts of [sun] originate from it; The incorporeal moon was born first, so all the concepts of [moon] originated from it. The sky and the earth are in harmony, which is also your achievement as the king of gods."
"I promise."
Cronus did not hesitate. After all, the sun and moon had nothing to do with him. He could also use this to alleviate his brother's jealousy towards him.
"Please tell me your third request. You are always so wise."
Kronos was indeed hard to blame for Ryan's thoughts. Just like the [Time Sequence] in the past, although no one accepted the priesthood of 'year, month, and quarter', all the gods recognized this respect for them. Now the Seer makes demands for his creation, but Hyperion benefits as well.
"Mother Earth, and all of you who are listening at this time."
Ryan's smile became more genuine, and he was grateful for this still ignorant era.
"I don't know if you have noticed that as early as between heaven and earth, among all things in the world, there are all kinds of special particles. They exist and do not exist. They can affect the material of reality and shape darkness and light. . They are scattered in the sky and the earth, even around us."
"Yes, I can feel it." Mother Earth said: "Earth, water, wind, fire, light, darkness, wind and thunder, they are special particles with different powers."
"But in the face of divine power, they are as fragile as pieces of paper. Apart from following the rhythm when the gods exercise their authority, I don't know what value they have."
Smiling slightly, Ryan refused to comment on Gaia's disparagement. What she said is not unreasonable. In the face of divine power, the power of elements is indeed insignificant.
But he was never meant to use them against divine power.
"It will happen," Ryan said, "At least controlling them will allow me, who does not have the priesthood of water, to shake the waves, and to create wind and rain without the priesthood of weather."
Gaia smiled politely, and the gods in her belly laughed more directly.
With Gaia's isolation, they were not afraid of being noticed by Ryan. They had been led by Ryan today, and they were angry in their hearts. But at this moment, the other party's request finally made them regain some confidence.
Yes, the God of Prophecy may be able to see fate, but his own power is a flaw.
"Weak power." Oceanus commented: "From [Time] and [Moon] to his idea today, he has been using other methods to gain power."
"Yes, he also tried to influence the weather."
Crius sneered, he was very dissatisfied with Ryan's attempt to use the 'calendar' to control the climate: "But the priesthood is the foundation, those ridiculous gadgets are meaningless."
"You can't say that, this is at least an attempt, isn't it? Everyone knows that the destructive power of prophecy is a joke."
Because of Ryan's plan for the sun and the moon, Hyperion now has less resentment towards him, but only a little bit.
After all, Ryan's prophecy only brought him suffering, and he missed the throne of the king of gods.
"So what are you going to do?" Unlike his brother, Kronos is not as willful as his brother at this most critical moment.
His voice was gentle and sincere, as if he was thinking for Ryan from the bottom of his heart: "If you are interested in them, after I ascend the throne, I will give you the power to control them in the name of the God King. As long as I am the God King, you can control them as if they were your own arms."
Lian smiled gently in his heart, and he understood the implication of Kronos. He remained calm and shook his head gently to refuse:
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness, but I have other ideas."
"I plan to weave a net to restrain these disordered particles. When I need it, I will let the strings of the net crisscross and ring according to the pre-set structure. In this way, I can control them."
As he said, Ryan also invited the gods:
"At that time, if anyone present wants to use this net, I will definitely welcome it."
