Walking alongside Mother Gaia, Laine headed towards a sacred mountain in the heart of the continent.

The world now was different from before. With the sun, celestial bodies, and diverse weather, Khaos resembled a true world.

Perhaps because he walked upon the 'essence' of Gaia's birth, Laine didn't feel the distance.

Guided by her, he could traverse mountains and seas with a single step.

Though there were no "thousands of rivers" or "thousands of mountains" yet, with Uranus, the mountain deity, and Oceanus, the ocean deity, not yet born, the land still appeared desolate.

After less than half a day, the mountain was soon in sight.

"Laine, Your Highness."

Despite Laine's agreement to come, Gaia seemed burdened throughout the journey.

It was only upon arriving at this recently birthed sacred site that she finally spoke.

"This is where the future God-King will rule the world."

Gaia gazed at the towering Mount Othrys, where her son Uranus would be born.

"This is the highest mountain on Earth, closest to the sky."

"My sovereign will deign to rule over all creatures of the Earth as the Lord of the Sky."

"That's truly a great undertaking."

Laine expressed reverence, though his tone suggested prior knowledge.

"As the world's first God-King, only such a place can match the authority of the Heavenly Father."

"Yes," Gaia frowned, but continued, "He will rule over all things in the world, forever."

Clearly, at this time, Heavenly Father and Earth Mother were still deeply in love, with no signs of future conflicts.

"Let's go. Influenced by the birth of my twelve children, chaos reigns here with rampant divine power."

"Please follow behind me to avoid any unpleasant encounters."

Nodding slightly, Laine acquiesced gracefully, seemingly oblivious to Gaia's subtle change in attitude.

He followed behind Gaia, and the two began to ascend the sacred mountain.

As the residence of Mother Earth, the mountain was not bare like the rocks outside, but rather, primitive vegetation had spread here.

Along the way, Laine saw many strange flowers and fruits whose names he couldn't call?

These were the creations born under the domain of the Plant deity.

Perhaps in a few years, with the help of the Weather deity, vegetation here would spread across the world, adding a touch of green to the barren land.

But that was all in the future.

Soon, guided by Gaia, Laine reached the summit of the sacred mountain.

A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.

"We're here."

Mother Earth stopped, addressing Laine behind her.

The summit of the sacred mountain was spacious and flat, with no traces of any man-made structures. Compared to the later myths of Mount Olympus, this place resembled a remote hilltop.

However, Laine wasn't surprised, as for the Lord of the Sky, the sky itself was his palace.

As he stepped onto the peak of the sacred mountain, Laine observed the surroundings, while thirteen gods of various appearances also turned their gazes towards him.

Although no one was using divine power, Laine still felt somewhat uncomfortable.

There was no helping it; the primitive gods didn't know how to restrain their aura, so being close to them was inherently oppressive.

"Bowing before you, Your Majesty."

Stopping to appraise, Laine bent slightly, showing respect to the male god in the center.

This wasn't his first time seeing Uranus.

Unlike the young man he saw last time, he now appeared as a tall, majestic middle-aged man.

This was the result of the combined influence of paternal authority and the position of the God-King.

The appearance of deities changes with authority and power, which is common knowledge among the gods.

Facing the unfamiliar deities' audience, the twelve Titans were somewhat perplexed, as they sensed Laine's weak divine power. They looked towards their father, awaiting his next move. Then they witnessed their majestic father extend his hands towards the approaching deity, sparing no courtesy in welcoming him.

"I'm delighted that you've come, esteemed Prophet, God of Prophecy," Uranus's voice resounded boldly and powerfully, matching well with his divine role. "Until today, I never thought you could truly see fate. Please forgive my previous misunderstanding."

"Please take a seat, Prince Laine. You should sit with us."

"It's my honor."

Facing the different gazes of the fourteen deities, Laine found a place to sit on the mountaintop. This was a celebration banquet, also commemorating Uranus becoming the God-King. When the twelve new gods were born, he was automatically crowned ruler of the world. As everyone gathered, fruits from the mountain were brought by Gaia to serve as the feast for the banquet. The God-King sat at the center, while others were seated on both sides, with only Mother Earth seated beside him.

As the banquet commenced, apart from occasional conversations with Laine, Heavenly Father mostly spoke to his newly born children. He shared his thoughts with them, instructing them on how to respect him as their father and how to assist him in fulfilling his duties as the God-King. Perhaps influenced by paternal authority, his twelve children murmured in response to the God-King's requests, merely replying with "Tastes good."

Tasting an unknown purple fruit, Laine silently observed everything. He knew the purpose of his invitation and had his own thoughts about it. But before that, he just wanted to enjoy a couple more fruits. After all, the plants on the divine mountain were the ancestors of their kind, the first batch in the world of Khaos. These fruits also had a significant effect on the gods. At least for Kaien, they could help him reach the maximum allowed by his divine position more quickly.

Time passed swiftly, but for the gods, they cared little for the passage of time. As the day and night transitioned for the third time, Uranus finally stopped his instruction. He turned to Laine, who was sitting beside him, the deity who prophesied the birth of his twelve offspring. Although he still didn't quite understand how such weak divine power could glimpse into fate, since it was indeed the case, he didn't mind asking him some questions, especially considering what he had heard from him at the foot of the mountain.

Raising his cup, after three days had passed, Uranus spoke to Laine again. "Prince Laine."

"Before this, at our first meeting, you prophesied the birth of my twelve children."

"Fate is truly powerful," Heavenly Father exclaimed with a resounding voice, "Only wise gods like you can perceive its destined path."

"The destiny is in the hands of Lady Night." Laine smiled as he raised his cup, clinking it with Uranus's, then drank it all in one go.

"This isn't wine, just plant juice, but it's still delicious under the effect of divine power."

"So, respected Prince Laine, I have a question to ask you."

Uranus didn't care about Laine's modesty; he seemed only curious about the power of prophecy. "I hope you can use the power of prophecy to tell me."

"In Khaos, in the future of this world, am I the eternal God-King, ruling over the sky, earth, and ocean?"

The banquet seemed to suddenly quiet down. The twelve Titans looked at Kaien with strange gazes, while Mother Earth's eyes were full of...

Faced with Uranus's seemingly casual inquiry, Laine smiled faintly. Instead of rushing to answer, he set down his cup and began to explain the essence of all prophecies.
