Tartarus did not know the scale of the earthquake that had occurred in the Chaos realm when he was born.
Judging by their current power, the Earth was stronger than the Abyss.
The divine pressure generated at his birth had not posed much of a threat to Gaia, the goddess of the earth.
When Erebus, the god of darkness, and Nyx, the goddess of night, were born, the earth and the abyss were forever separated, causing colossal changes in the world.
But being from the abyss, he had felt no pressure at all.
Eros, the god of love and desire, had exerted no pressure on the first four gods.
The birth of this new god—the God of the Sky—caused a genuine upheaval in the Chaos realm.
The earth trembled, the abyss shook, and even night and darkness shifted violently.
It was as if the entire Chaos realm had been shaken.
Even before his true birth, the God of the Sky had already caused Tartarus, from within the Abyss, to inexplicably sense divine power pressing down upon the earth.
A black light flashed, and Nyx, the goddess of night, appeared above the abyss.
She looked up and said: “Brother Tartarus, I sense a very powerful divine pressure.
This new being is mightier than I.” “It is also stronger than me.
This domineering and powerful divine force poses a threat to me.” The figure of Erebus, the god of darkness, silently appeared to the side and then spoke: “Go and see,” Tartarus replied.
Then he directed his divine power.
Deification!
He was far from the two gods, at a distance beyond their perception.
In one section of the abyss, a powerful devouring force erupted.
A deep, tangled vortex, resembling a black hole, emerged, and from it a figure slowly appeared.
At first, the image was somewhat blurred and not very clear.
As it stepped outward, its gaze became increasingly fixed…
In particular, this was about Tartarus’s deification as the God of Devouring.
He had already sensed it when he felt the divine energy devouring him.
The God of Chaos had not yet fully formed.
Being the Abyss, he was not capable of creating a divine body from his Abyssal essence to control the Abyss.
However, the divine nature of the Devouring God was complete.
Now he was not only the god of the abyss but also the god of devouring.
He was able to create a divine body that controlled devouring, using the power of absorption.
His current ability to devour was far weaker than that of the abyss.
Naturally, the divine power possessed by the body of the Devouring God was much weaker than that of the God of the Abyss, but unfortunately, the Abyss could not yet be deified.
However, the greatest advantage was that after gaining divinity, he obtained a divine body and could move freely.
He was about to descend to the earth to witness the birth of the god of the sky.
This was the first generation of king gods in the Chaos realm—more powerful than all the gods of his time, the first generation of the king of gods.
A mighty being whose strength surpassed that of the primordial gods.
With only a few steps, the figure emerged from the black hole and stared intently.
The deep black hole behind her dissipated, and the powerful devouring force that had spread around her also faded.
The Devouring God, with his deified divine body, was fully born!
At that moment, Tartarus experienced a strange sensation.
As if he possessed two bodies, two perspectives, and two divine thoughts.
The first was the god of the abyss.
He possessed immense divine power and divine sense, had full control over the abyss, could perceive everything within it, and see everything inside it.
The second was the Devouring God, who after deification manifested a divine body.
His divine sense was not strong, and though his divine power was not weak, it was far inferior to that of the Abyss.
He felt an overwhelming desire to devour everything before him, to consume everything that his divine sense perceived.
For millennia, Tartarus had maintained an approximate classification of the gods’ power.
Based on the strength of divine might, it could currently be divided into the following categories: peak divine power, powerful divine power, intermediate divine power, and weak divine power.
Each stage could be further divided into early, middle, and late phases.
At present, Gaia, the goddess of the earth, was far stronger than the four primordial gods and stood at the peak of her power, at the late stage of peak divine power.
All three gods—the Abyss, Darkness, and Night—were at the stage of powerful divine power.
He sensed that, as the true form of the Abyss, he possessed powerful divine power at the late stage, approaching the peak of divine might, and was stronger than the Dark Knight.
Darkness and Night were most likely at the intermediate stage of powerful divine power.
At present, the God of Devouring had been deified but had not yet devoured anything or developed further; he was at the early stages of intermediate divine power.
Eros, the god of love and desire, was a weak god.
In the future, demigods born from the union of gods and humans would likely be weaker than gods of lesser divine power.
Gods could grow.
Thousands of years ago, Tartarus had sensed that Gaia was roughly at the late stage of her divine power, while he himself was at the early stage.
However, as the chaotic source diminished and became less pristine, and for the expansion of the world, the Chaos realm naturally endowed the earth with greater growth potential, as the earth’s growth would make the world more prosperous and powerful.
The earth expanded rapidly, leaving behind a vast abyss.
But the abyss itself had also grown significantly.
The strange sensation of having two perspectives and two divine senses lasted only an instant before fading.
At that moment, Tartarus felt as though…
The abyss was his body; the body of the Devouring God was like one of his arms, or rather, one of his fingers.
The abyss was his main body, and the devouring limbs were his appendages; these two origins were inseparable and could be controlled at will.
If explained using the cultivation methods of the Eastern system from his past life, it meant that he now had an additional divine avatar of the Devouring God.
It perceived the entire body.
The newly born Devouring Avatar of Tartarus was a tall, muscular youth with long black hair and a handsome face, in which a faint sinister aura could be sensed.
Beneath his sword-like brows were eyes black as ink, like two deep, dark whirlpools, eager to devour everything they saw.
“Let us go and see.” Tartarus spoke, and his voice reached the ears of Nyx and Erebus.
By controlling the abyss, the devouring clone, which had been far from the two gods, instantly appeared before them.
“Brother Tartarus, you have become a god?” The Goddess of Night, Nyx, expressed surprise, but there was also a note of joy in her surprise.
The abyss had gained a divine body!
She remembered the words spoken at the birth of Eros, the embodiment of love and desire.
However, she quickly realized that something was wrong.
The dark god Erebus was very perceptive.
He looked at the devouring Tartarus clone with his gloomy eyes, as if trying to discern its mysterious structure.
“This is Tartarus, but it is not the deification of the abyss; it is the deification of another kind of divine authority,” said Erebus.
“It is different.
Although it is much stronger than Eros, its divine power is too weak compared to the Abyss and us.
What is happening?” Nyx asked.
Tartarus calmly said: “Sense the primordial essence of the abyss, and within it lies a mystery.
After a long period of perception within the abyss, a new divine authority has developed.
The abyss is not deified; it is merely my avatar.” He paused, and then his words became enigmatic: “The sky is about to be born!
Chaos will begin its journey toward prosperity, but also toward turmoil.
Let us go and see!” “The sky!
Prosperity?
Turmoil?”
