Chapter 142 - 111 The Fourth Layer

Chapter 142: Chapter 111 The Fourth Layer

“...I do not know, respected Mother Earth, I think no one dares to spy on the Father God’s whereabouts.”

“Perhaps he left on his own, perhaps... he has returned to the embrace of the world.”

Although it was somewhat hard to accept at the moment, and wondering how the situation had changed so drastically in such a short time, Zeus’s heart couldn’t help but flare with excitement, feeling the faint connection to the title of Divine King.

Unlike the previous epoch, even though the title of Divine King had now almost faded to nothing due to lavish squandering, it was indeed handed down by the previous Divine King himself, not directly usurped.

By comparison, Cronus had taken five hundred years to become the true Divine King, but Zeus would immediately become the new king as soon as he acquired it.

As for how to restore its power, that was a matter for another time. His father had set a good example for him, making it clear what kind of deeds would please the world.

It was just unfortunate that others, not just himself, but Hades and Poseidon as well, had also formed a connection with the Divine Authority.

Zeus gave a relieved glance at the God of the Ocean, who, supported by the primordial water goddess, had already fallen unconscious.

The two brothers were an easy matter, as their contributions paled in comparison to his own; perhaps some bargaining would make them abandon their vain hopes. But if his dear ‘father-in-law’ were unharmed now, no one knew if he would follow so-called ‘fate’ and support his rise to the throne.

After all, among the original six male Titans, the God of the Ocean and the God of the Sun had both revealed covetous glances at the title of Divine King to varying degrees.

And with his numerous followers, it went without saying whom Mother Earth would choose between her son and herself.

“Left yes,”

Gaia, to the side, paid no attention to the latter part of Zeus’s statement, dismissing the idea of ‘impacting greatness, returning to the world’ as mere fiction.

Turning her gaze to the distance, Gaia saw that the colliding Spirit Realm and the Realm of Lightness had suddenly calmed and begun to fade away silently. After all, once one party left, there was no longer any need for the other to continue.

“Indeed, it was those two...”

“Both you and I are the same. Even in the end, we cannot see clearly what truly happened.”

With a cold snort and a cryptic remark, Gaia did not care for the will of the other deities present, and turned to leave.

Her initial intention had been to entangle the ‘Divine King,’ waiting until his disguise was exhausted, to then see his true face.

But clearly, Gaia had overestimated her strength; she couldn’t entangle him at all.

Therefore, she needed to visit the Underworld to seek answers from her brother. Even though he most likely would not tell her the truth, Gaia still needed to seek an explanation from him.

At least, she had to figure out where Cronus had gone.

“Sigh”

“It’s over, Zeus.”

In this situation, Laine thought of a simple solution: since I am restricted, then you all should be restricted as well. As long as everyone is brought to the same level, it’s as if none of us were restricted.

Thus, there was the collapse of Mount of the Gods, bathing the East Sea in sunlight. Even if The Dark Overlord had acted later, Laine had other measures ready to deploy.

“It’s fine, even if the constraints are fewer now, everything will come back once The King of All Monsters is born.”

“Unlike me, it will not talk rules with you.”

Looking towards the periphery of the Underworld, Laine saw the shimmer of Gaia’s figure in the fleeting Realm of Lightness, which had retracted to its original place.

It was not surprising that she did not seek him out first. After all, compared to Laine, her own brother was definitely more trustworthy to her.

But without even thinking about it, Laine didn’t believe Gaia would have gained anything, even though her actual contact with Erebus wasn’t much.

She was likely easily persuaded by him, for in both power and wisdom, they were not on the same level at all.

“And Nyx.”

“How strange, are we on good terms?”

Confused, Laine had not accounted for the Lady of the Night in this turn of the era’s collision.

She shouldn’t suddenly stand on the opposing side, but neither did she have any reason to aid him. Yet, in the midst of the clash with the domain of the Lord of Darkness, Laine sensitively noticed a familiar black skirt hem.

Although she ultimately did not take action, her presence there at that time in itself implied some underlying stance.

“Forget it, it’s normal to be puzzled.”

“The thought processes of Chaos deities are not something that just anyone can understand. I’ll leave that for later.”

Like Gaia, like the goddess of discord, and several other deities. They always manage to act in ways that, if not for later generations’ memories, ordinary people would have trouble comprehending.

Now with one more, Nyx, it doesn’t seem so strange anymore.

“Sigh—it’s about time.”

Laine withdrew his gaze, no longer paying attention to the various external matters.

The world at this moment must be very lively. Not only because of the aftereffects of the battle that had just ended but also because of the competition for the position of the new Divine King, though that was no longer his concern.

“Soon, you will have a new name.”

Looking towards the still chaotic fourth layer of the realm, Laine spoke softly.

The first layer of the Spirit Realm, Phantasmal Spirit Realm; the second layer of the Spirit Realm, True Spirit Realm, also known as the Communicating Spirit Realm; the third layer of the Spirit Realm, Dream Spirit Realm.

From today onwards, the fourth layer of the Spirit Realm will also have a name that belongs solely to it.
