As the abyss devoured and merged with the chaotic source, Tartarus began to focus on the Book of Creation.
Originally, the Book of Creation contained five pages of text, but now its volume had increased to ten pages, adding five more.
Meanwhile, new changes had occurred on the first five pages.
Book of Creation The first page remained unchanged.
[Page 2 – God of Deception – Divinity (Incomplete – 45%)] By deceiving the Mother Goddess of the Earth, Gaia, for the first time, Tartarus had activated the God of Deception, thereby gaining a portion of divinity.
This time, he had seized the chaotic source for his own purposes but claimed it was to help others.
All three gods believed him, and he successfully deceived them, bringing his divine purity to 45%.
“The first successful deception of a deity brings the greatest percentage of completeness.
Subsequent successful deceptions of the same deity yield smaller percentage increases.
Of this 15% increase, 10% may be attributed to successfully deceiving the Sky God.” “However, I believe the Sky God may not have been entirely deceived.
But it is certain that he gains less and less benefit from successfully deceiving the Mother Goddess of the Earth, Gaia, and the Dark Goddess, Nyx.” “I will try not to deceive these two deities again.
As they grow older and gain experience, it will be easy to expose me.
Gaia trusts me, and Nyx is very kind to me.
It would be wrong to deceive them again.” Tartarus pondered this as he opened the third page of the Book of Creation.
[Page 3 – God of Chaos – Divinity (Incomplete – 80%)] “I have absorbed quite a bit of the Chaotic Source, but less than one-tenth of the Black Sphere of the Chaotic Source.
It’s normal that there’s no increase yet.
I hope this time it will reach 100% at once—that would be ideal.” Tartarus turned the page to the fourth— [God of Devouring] [God of Devouring – Divinity] [Abilities: Devour] [Divine Powers: Devouring Black Hole, Devouring Space, Devouring Divine Chains.] “Learning more about divine power: the Devouring Black Hole is the vortex black hole behind me, capable of absorbing everything on a large scale.
Devouring Space should represent a small space temporarily preserved after previously absorbing the chaotic black sphere.” “This Devouring Divine Chain must have been learned from the dazzling divine chains that descended from the sky god Uranus.” “This Devouring Avatar possesses immense potential.
By absorbing the origins and divine power of some gods, it can learn the corresponding methods of using divine power.” “In the future, I will have opportunities to fight other gods to expand the variety of ways I can use divine power.
Although I am only at the early stage of intermediate divine power, my potential is limitless, and I will focus on strengthening it.” Then Tartarus opened the fifth page of the Book of Creation…
God of Prophecy [God of Prophecy – Divinity (Incomplete – 10%)] [Complete Method: Several successful predictions obtained.] “The birth of darkness and night was the first successful prophecy, activating the divine status of the God of Prophecy.
Then the birth of the Sky God was my second successful prophecy, increasing its probability to 10%.” “Not bad.
I have already predicted the birth of the ocean, the mountains, the sun, and the moon, and all these predictions will come true in the future.
The twelve Titan gods will be born one after another.
It seems I need to find an opportunity to continue making predictions.” “In ancient Greek mythology, Prometheus, the god of prophecy, made several predictions, most of which came true.
It seems there are certain established rules in this world, and all predicted events will surely come to pass.” “Knowing your own future, even if you make adjustments along the way, you will only delay the time when the prophecy comes true, or it will become reality in a different way.
In the end, no one can change predestined fate.” “So, my appearance in this world means that the future will likely change, and some aspects of what I knew in my past life will undergo new changes.
If the divine authority of the God of Prophecy is truly activated, will it be able to foresee my unknown future?” Not being certain and not fully understanding it, Tartarus stopped pondering.
He turned the page and saw the following five new pages that had appeared.
Page 6 — [God of Water] [God of Water – Divinity (Incomplete – 1%)] [Complete Method: Approach the element of water, understand the laws of water, and absorb its essence.] Page 7 — [God of Fire] [God of Fire – Divinity (Incomplete – 1%)] [Complete Method: Approach the element of fire, understand the laws of fire, and absorb its essence.] Page 8 — [God of Earth] [God of Earth – Divinity (Incomplete – 1%)] [Complete Method: Approach the element of earth, understand the laws of earth, and absorb its essence.] Page 9 — [God of Wind] [God of Wind – Divinity (Incomplete – 1%)] [Complete Method: Approach the element of wind, understand the laws of wind, and absorb its essence.] Page 10 — God of Elements [God of Elements – Divinity (Incomplete – 1%)] [Complete Method: Achieve the titles of God of Water, God of Fire, God of Earth, and God of Wind.] Tartarus stared blankly at the last five pages.
“In my past life, the ancient Greek world I knew, in terms of matter, seemed to be composed of four elements: earth, sky, ocean, celestial bodies, and so on.” “This is not precise, and Greek mythology does not describe the structure of the world in detail.
But I am certain that this time I have learned a great deal.” Tartarus was very pleased, recalling the dazzling chains of divine power he had seen earlier.
“The divine essence of the four elemental gods was likely obtained after I absorbed the primal source and divine power falling from the sky, then activated and gained fragments of the divine essence of the four elements: water, fire, earth, and wind.” “Moreover, possessing all four elemental divine cores allows one to become the God of Elements, which is certainly a more powerful divine authority than possessing only one.” “This time, we made the right decision by seizing the chaotic source.
If the Sky God had not stopped us, and we had simply absorbed the chaotic source, the benefit would have been far less than what we have now.” “Uranus, the god of the sky, is truly a generous deity.
He is not only the son of Gaia, the Mother Goddess of the Earth, but also the son of the Chaos realm.
His origin and divine power are based on many magical forces.” “I absorbed only a little, yet I have already activated many divine fragments.
What if I absorb more?” “Generous Son of the World, glory to you, my dear nephew!
Even if you had not come, I would have personally invited you to visit the Abyss.” Tartarus now eagerly awaited the arrival of this future king of gods in the abyss—or better yet, his permanent stay there.
If the divine body of the sky god were fully absorbed, the divine bodies of the four elements could become complete.
At the same time, a question arose in his mind: “At present, I do not understand the structure of the Chaos realm, but assuming that the four elements are the foundation of the world’s formation, then all its origins are necessary for the world’s development.” “The origins of the world are roughly divided into stable and beautiful positive origins, and turbulent and unstable negative origins.
The earth is almost entirely composed of positive origins, while the abyss is almost entirely composed of negative origins.” “If I were to become the God of Elements, I would be the very essence of the Abyss, 99% composed of negative origins.
And if I were to absorb and merge with all the positive and stable origins, then…” After a brief pause, an incredibly audacious idea suddenly came to Tartarus’s mind.
“Then…
could I use the abyss as the foundation to create a new world?”
