Chapter 56: Vision For The Netherworld
She paused, the smile fading, leaving only politeness in her faint smile, her gaze becoming profound and sharp.
She stared at Zeus and said, “I now have only one question.”
“So, how should we deal with the existence that has now appeared and violated the laws of the gods?”
Zeus frowned slightly; He naturally knew who Nyx was referring to.
He sighed lightly and said, “Merciful lady, that is not the fault of the existence that was gestated, but the fault of the god of gestation.”
“Since it already exists, how can we destroy Him?”
“Moreover, we are in urgent need of helpers right now; He is an indispensable aid. How can we cut off our own arm and weaken our power?”
The Lady of Night’s lips curved slightly in a semblance of a smile: “Honored Son of Cronus, dark and night have never been separate. Even if night cannot master dark, even if the former Heavenly Father placed dark beneath all things, who in this world understands the essence of dark better than night?”
The goddess of night, who sees through truth, questioned bluntly: “Are laws without spirituality even considered ‘existence’? If they did not exist from the beginning, why have they ‘again’ appeared?”
Zeus’s heart skipped a beat; He knew there were no absolute secrets in the world. As far as He knew, there were at least five great gods He could not hide from.
Zeus avoided the topic and said slowly in a soft voice: “The living beings of the world are increasing, and many living beings are not immortal. When their lives fade, the spirituality they have condensed can only endure loneliness and torment in the world. Without the bounty of the gods, they can only slowly disperse with time and return to the sky dome.”
There was a trace of pity in His tone. “This is too tragic and too regrettable. Every life’s spirituality should have its destination. All spirits with self should not endure such torment.”
“Therefore, I wish to grant fragile spirituality of mortal things a shell of protection called soul. Spirituality hides within the soul, able to act and grow, free from loneliness, slowing the dispersal of self-consciousness.”
“I will create another realm under the earth, in that endless darkness, named the Underworld, making it as vast and boundless as the earth above, a pure place of rest for souls.”
“All decaying mortal living beings of the world, when their lives above the earth decay, their souls will go to the Underworld to live. Until self completely disperses, the spiritual origin returns to the world from darkness once more, cycling endlessly, generation after generation.”
“Honored Lady of Night, what do you think of my idea?”
Nyx listened to Zeus’s plan, her profound beautiful eyes growing brighter, marveling in her heart at Zeus’s mercy and inspiration.
She nodded gently, finally showing a sincere smile.
In that instant, the smile was breathtakingly beautiful, like the first ray of light born from endless darkness, supremely beautiful and shocking, allowing Zeus to truly witness the mysterious charm deeply hidden in the primal night.
“Honored future God King, your brilliant idea fills the gods with admiration, and your merciful generosity fills the gods with endless admiration.”
Zeus smiled faintly: “This is just my conception. To achieve all this, I cannot do without the lady’s help. Moreover, governing the Underworld is not a task for one god alone.”
“I wish to invite you and your children to help me. As respect and reward for your hardship, how about making this Underworld the honor of the Dark Night gods?”
Nyx’s heart shook greatly upon hearing this; she did not agree directly but lowered her head in contemplation for a moment.
After a long time, she raised her head and said earnestly and firmly: “Merciful Zeus, thank you for your generosity, but no god should overstep your honor.”
“I thank you for your bounty, but I cannot overstep your honor.”
“I will help you construct this Underworld, contributing the power of night. But night’s children can only be your helpers.”
“To have the universe accept Dark Night, allowing the Dark Night gods to enjoy the universe’s honor, that is already enough.”
She paused, looked at Zeus seriously, and said softly: “From now on, night’s children are also your children.”
“Night’s prosperity requires your participation, your shelter and guidance. Please promise this.”
Zeus slowly revealed a smile, sincere and firm. He resolutely replied: “I seek nothing more! This is my supreme honor!”
Darkness once again enveloped Nyx’s entire body; the beautiful, mysterious, and elegant figure of Dark Night gradually blurred.
A voice gently came from the blurring darkness: “From now on, night obeys your command. When you determine the time for the final decisive battle, please summon night at any time.”
The voice faded into the distance, like the murmur of an illusion: “Night anticipates the arrival of the day of final victory, anticipates the birth of the new order.”
Zeus stepped forward, as if to grasp the night that was about to disperse, and gave His solemn promise: “Lady of Night, I will absolutely not let you down. Let us share the honor; I will absolutely not enjoy all the honor exclusively!”
The Lady of Night’s figure quietly departed, without a sound, leaving Zeus alone standing for a long time, finally slowly exhaling and turning back to the divine palace.
He was now one big step closer to victory and the final vision.
Creating another realm on the basis of the existing world was not difficult; after all, it relied on the world, and endless darkness was a ready resource.
As long as He obtained His Great Thunder, let alone splitting darkness, even splitting Chaos would not be difficult!
However, creating a realm with pure darkness would make that place rather desolate and deathly silent.
Still, this was not a big problem.
Hades possessed authority over the nether dark, and with the Lady of Night’s help, the Underworld could be gradually constructed.
Now, only one thing remained.
That was the authority created by God King Cronus.
To properly engage in construction and create a prosperous new world, the supreme authority of creation was indispensable.
The authority of creation must and could only be held in the God King’s grasp!
After Zeus fully won over the Night God, God King Cronus was not idle either.
The cunning and ever-changing Prometheus, in a tactful manner through the mouths of other gods, proposed a suggestion to Cronus that brightened His eyes.
Thus, God King Cronus immediately set out quietly, personally seeking out two Primal Titans renowned for their insight and intelligence.
When Coeus and Phoebe saw Cronus, the husband and wife did not need to think much. As Titans of insight and intelligence, they instantly knew the purpose of Cronus’s arrival.
In their hearts, they had already resolved to brush it off; they truly did not want to wade into this muddy water.
With their wisdom, they could naturally see that the current situation was really not favorable for Cronus.
The two Titan Gods came out together to welcome Him, respectfully ushering the God King into their divine palace.
With warm smiles on their faces, Coeus spoke first: “Honored Your Majesty the God King, what important matter brings You here in person?”
