Chapter 9: The Cyclops

The Divine King drove away his own children, compelling them to fulfill their divine duties. In the chaotic primordial world of Chaos, time was always the least valuable thing. However, unlike the "Time Immemorial" of the East, since the advent of sequence and the division of years, months, and days, the passage of time has been recorded. In the blink of an eye, fifteen hundred years have passed since Lian made his prophecy on the divine mountain.

On this day, once again, fierce arguments erupted on the divine mountain. This was not the first time. Ever since the birth of the three strange children of Uranus, every now and then, there would be such disputes between the Heavenly Father and the Earth Mother.

"Uranus, they are your children too!" Gaia's voice rang out, but amidst the gentleness, there was a tinge of weakness and sadness. Countless times she had tried to persuade the Divine King to accept those three offspring, even if only to guard his gate, but Uranus repeatedly refused her.

"Children? No, they are not. They are nothing but bastards born of accident." The echo was icy, and the Divine King was weary of such arguments. "Enough!"

Fifteen hundred years have passed, and the divine mountain has grown taller. The King of the Gods stood in the place closest to the 'heavens' in this world, coldly interrupting Gaia's plea. Before him, three monstrous creatures with single eyes glared angrily.

Although the divine power of the king pressed them to the ground, they seemed to know no fear, still glaring at Uranus with their single eyes full of anger.

"Look, Gaia. Such twisted lives, yet they dare to face my wrath." After scrutinizing the three giants on the ground again, Uranus seemed to have determined something.

"The eldest, but not the oldest. Heh, the leader among monsters, isn't that also the eldest?" "You are mad, Uranus!"

She didn't understand, thinking that they were not afraid simply because they lacked intelligence. How could Uranus think that they could become the Divine King? No divine king would be anything less than divine.

"Am I mad? Heh, perhaps, but you should stop your foolish pleading as well." Gaia's words finally completely enraged the Divine King. With a disdainful glance at his once beloved wife, he pushed her aside.

Standing at the peak of the divine mountain, Uranus once again wielded the authority of the Divine King to pass judgment on the giants.

"I have tolerated you for far too long, perhaps a hundred years, perhaps two hundred." Uranus examined the three giants before him, but still could not see fear in their eyes.

"But there is a limit to tolerance, you filthy, ugly, disgraceful lives that taint my bloodline, I am done with your existence!"

"Cyclopes? Laughable title. I will no longer forgive you for Gaia's sake, but send you where you belong."

"You wretched garbage, the bottomless abyss is your destination. I declare in the name of the King of the Gods that you are guilty for your inherently base nature. Your sentence is eternal!"

The resounding voice echoed from the heavens. In a cave, Lian raised his head slightly.

The sky outside dimmed, and the sun tried to conceal its radiance.

This was the wrath of the ruler of the skies. Although Uranus was no longer the sky itself after my birth, he still wielded absolute influence.

"You've strayed a bit far."

Simple vision was not enough for Lian to see the divine mountain, so he resorted to another method, using the celestial body, the Moon, to observe for himself.

Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation.

After fifteen hundred years of operation, this artificial celestial body had finally become somewhat complete. Its representation of the Moon deity had also gradually risen to the level of divinity tier 3.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Through the perspective of the Moon, Lian could vaguely see three streaks of light flying out from the divine mountain at the center of the earth, and then falling to the west of the earth, directly piercing through the thick layers of the earth.

Through the pitch-black cave, Lian could feel an immensely chaotic aura emanating. It was the Abyss, the bottom of the world, the husk of the primordial god Tartaros.

Unlike the other three primordial gods, Tartaros seemed to have forsaken awakening to self, instead maintaining this chaotic and disorderly state.

Thus, he was the only existence that did not fall in power due to personification, remaining a great god of the divine power level.

"The Cyclopes..."

Lian muttered the names of the three streaks of light softly, not feeling surprised. Unlike the Titans, the Cyclopes were more akin to monsters possessing immense power.

When they were born, there were no corresponding disturbances in the laws, and there were even no traces of them outside the divine mountain. Uranus naturally refused to acknowledge their existence.

Even the future second Divine King did not acknowledge his "brothers." Zeus later rescued them, but only treated them as craftsmen and jailers.

Although the Divine King tolerated them for two hundred years because of the Earth Mother's existence, the Heavenly Father was never a tolerant god, and in the end, he could not resist casting them into the abyss.

Boom!

Another roar echoed, and this time Lian didn't need the Moon to see it, because the heavens and the earth connected once again.

It seemed that Gaia's pleading had enraged Uranus. He made the heavens and the earth tightly adhere, just as it was before the birth of the Twelve Titans.

The sun panicked and hid, the elements retreated from the earth into the ocean, and a vast amount of vegetation was destroyed, returning the once verdant earth to desolation. The Divine King unleashed his primitive desires furiously to vent his dissatisfaction.

Lian hid in a cave, quietly watching this scene.

The Divine King ruled the world for fifteen hundred years, and his twelve sons diligently performed their divine duties under oppression, but Uranus still did not like them.

He often shattered celestial bodies, watching the cries of pain from Chaos with cold laughter. Occasionally, he would pluck the sun and throw it into the ocean, watching his children and brothers suffer from the conflicts of their powers. This was his rare entertainment.

There were no melodies, no fine wines, and not even any creatures on the earth. Besides the other primordial gods, Uranus could only vent his excess energy on his children.

As for Lian, he never had much presence, and his prophecies seemed to make the Divine King somewhat wary. So while Uranus couldn't ignore his existence, he still didn't trouble Lian.

"I wonder how much longer."

"Five hundred years, or perhaps a thousand. The era of the Heavenly Father is indeed boring, whereas the reign of Cronus is more interesting."

Glancing at the Moon in the sky again, Lian no longer focused his energy on the outside world.

The scattered and ownerless memories had been mostly integrated, and as a result, the spiritual divine position had risen a level. It could be foreseen that when the memories were fully accommodated, the spiritual divine position would rise again.

Aside from divine positions, in terms of divine power growth, unlike the spiritual divine position, which currently provides scarce divine power, the temporal divine position provided Lian with a large amount of divine power every second.

Although the maximum limit of divine positions was the same, it did not mean that the speed of providing divine power was the same. Just as powerful as Light, the Sun accumulated divine power at a faster rate than Light.

Although the temporal divine position was not easy to increase divine power, compared to the spiritual divine position, which had remained unchanged for thousands of years, it appeared superior.

After fifteen hundred years, he had already reached the peak of Weak Divine Power. It was expected that he would be able to break through this lowest level of divine power before the birth of the Hundred-Handed Giants.

The commotion outside continued, and Lian once again entered a deep slumber.

Divine positions were limits, and divine power was what he currently possessed. Before advancing further, he would not leave here.
