Chapter 325: Chapter 84 Paradise Mountain and the New Era

“`

Great Divine Power is subject to disparities, whether it is the greatness achieved in the form of a ‘world’ or the innate greatness like that of the Primordial Gods. Ultimately, the measure of power ultimately lies in its symbolic strength or weakness within the world.

Although, aside from the Mother Tree from beyond the realm, the entities walking the world of Chaos World are still incomplete, this does not affect the clear power disparity among them due to their hierarchical status.

Especially as Laine gradually fills in the final gap of Divine Power, with the continuous fall of Mother Earth’s power and the opening of Samsara, Laine’s ‘sample’ is becoming more and more sufficient. If in the past, he only knew that he ‘improved the Spirit Realm’, and then his ‘power rose’, but he did not know exactly how much it increased or how far it was from the limit, now he is gradually gaining clarity.

When the Spirit Realm was just opened, the ‘Spirituality’ it symbolized had just reached the lower limit of Great Divine Power; by his own set standards, it had broken through the limit of level 20 of strong Divine Power and reached level 21.

Later, through the changes of the entire second age, the digestion of Source Power, and the construction of the first three layers of the Spirit Realm, the ‘symbol’ of Spirituality also rose with the tide. When Samsara was opened, not only was the ‘symbol’ of ‘cycle’ established, but Spirituality itself also reached the peak of level 24 with the appearance of the fourth layer of the Spirit Realm. At this point, in terms of the completeness of the symbol, Laine was no worse off than The Dark Overlord. In fact, compared to the latter, as the creatures of the world increase and the status of Samsara becomes more important, the symbol of Spirituality will continue to expand.

As for the other Primordial Gods, Gaia was at about level 30 at the time of her birth, symbolizing all matter in the world and being the only one in existence, but now, she probably has only the baseline of Great Divine Power left. Nyx, when not considering the Tri-phased Incarnation, is about the same as Erebus, both at around levels 24 to 25, while Abyss Tartaros is at about level 28 to 29. What keeps him from reaching the peak of Great Divine Power is simply because there is more to the world beyond the Abyss.

Meanwhile, as eras change, the increase of Deities, and the strengthening of the world, complete Godhood such as [Ocean and Water], [The Sky], etc., also rise with the tide, and even the slightly lesser [Sun], [Light] also have the potential to advance further. If it were not for the former being fragmented and the latter being slightly diluted by [Meteorology], and also conflicting with the increasingly powerful twisted [Patriarchy], they too would be able to construct their own Great symbols.

In such a situation, while Laine pursues the path from the bottom up to become a complete Great Divine Power, he naturally does not forget to continue to improve the Spirit Realm, increasing the ‘Spirituality’ symbol’s share in the whole world.

“This matter is not urgent, after all, the land is still uninhabited for now. Take care of the new human matters first, and then talk about it. The people sent by Zeus are about to arrive, and it would be somewhat troublesome if you were late.”

Wearing a smile, Laine noticed that near Delphi, the God of West Wind already began to make an indistinct appearance, and so he stretched out his hand and drew a portal in front of him.

“I will send you on your way, lest you miss the time.”

“Okay.”

Nodding her head, Themis did not ask any further questions. It must be said that the authority over space and time is indeed handy, as she stepped through the portal and disappeared on Mount Sinai.

Others prayed to her, and she responded; it was all too natural.

With the departure of Themis, the Temple of Lops once again quieted down. Behind her, Laine pondered for a moment, then looked ‘down’.

He saw Eclipses roaming in the fifth layer of the Spirit Realm, as well as the true forms of those Spirit Realm Stars. Emitting light of varying brightness, they released different types of power.

But this did not change the chaotic state of the fifth layer of the Spirit Realm, where it would be difficult for any non-divine life to exist for long.

“Aster.”

Speaking softly, Laine called upon the Goddess of Starlight, whom he had not summoned for a long time.

“I am here, Your Highness.”

The starlight cascaded like a waterfall through the palace, and with the call, the Angel arranging the stars appeared before Laine. Silver wings adorned with light, her expression as devout as ever.

“The skies should have stabilized by now, haven’t they?”

Laine asked upon seeing the newcomer.

“Yes, the turbulence of the skies has already returned to normal after these years, and the Zodiac Regions have completely become our domain. Even without the aid of a God of Stars or Heroic Spirits, no more energy tides will arise there.”

She answered reverently, and as Aster said, the skies were no longer as they used to be. In the ancient times, when the God of Sun had just been dethroned, his last act of fury shook the star realms. Even the Spirit Realm Angels who were appointed to manage them needed the help of the Golden Humanity’s Heroic Spirits to replace the permanently resting Gods of Stars to stabilize the skies. But it was different now.

Just as the Sea God can gradually assimilate unclaimed oceans into their own, and even through war seize other Sea Gods’ realms, the God of Stars possesses a similar ability. Once the Zodiac Regions that are managed by their angels are completely controlled, those Heroic Spirits that used to travel between the stars also lose their purpose.

“Is that so… well done.”

He praised offhandedly, and the outcome was not unexpected for Laine. Since they were no longer needed, there was also no need to keep them there any longer.
