Chapter 14 Artifact Calendar and Three Conditions

In the underworld, without the sky, everything seems silent.

When the earth was torn apart, Ryan had passed through the earth and came to this empty land.

This is one of the three parts of Chaos. The sky and the earth are one, the ocean and the river coexist, and only the underworld shrouded in darkness exists alone.

Under the influence of divine power, when Ryan passed through the stratum and looked around, what came into his eyes was an endless gray plain.

The underworld at this time is very different from the myths of the previous life. There is no river of fire, no three-headed dog, no Styx and Acheron, and no palace of Hades. This gray land, which was called the "Pastoral of Truth" by later generations, is empty and more desolate than the ground a thousand years ago.

At that time, the ground at least had mountains and seas, but at this moment in the underworld, there is nothing.

"This should be the destination of the soul."

"But it won't be in the future."

Shaking his head, Ryan silently made an assertion. He used his divine power to pick up a small hill, and made himself a set of tables and chairs made of mud.

This was Chaos's new invention, so he gained a bit of skill and creative divinity.

"It's better than nothing."

Ryan casually let this divinity, which was not even "power", merge with [spirituality]. He did not continue to create new things, but quietly waited for his guests.

After all, without users and admirers, [skills] cannot become a priesthood. When new gods are born and humans appear in the future, he will have a better way to obtain them.

Time passed day by day. Although there is no sun and moon in the underworld, Ryan can still judge how long it has been through the perception of time and moon.

About twenty-four years after the twelve Titans returned to the mother body, with a dark green light flashing, the empty underworld finally ushered in the second guest.

When he saw Gaia again, Ryan obviously found her old age. Now the mother of the earth looks like an old woman in her fifties. Her emerald green eyes were dull, her hair, which was originally decorated with flowers, was dry and yellow, and even her skirt was covered with dust.

"Long time no see, Earth Mother."

Without getting up, Ryan pointed to the stone chair opposite with his right hand, indicating that the other party could sit down.

He was not polite. Strictly speaking, he had never liked these ancient gods.

Gaia looked up at Ryan. The fourth meeting, she clearly felt the change in his attitude.

Unlike the respect and courtesy in the past, Ryan was now indifferent and distant to her.

Gaia was not surprised by this. With the wisdom of a prophet, she must have noticed her and her children's dissatisfaction with him.

Before, she was the Queen of Gods, the Earth Mother, and the ancient god with supreme power, so the other party greeted her with a smile. But now, although he didn't know what the other party relied on, it was obvious that Ryan was no longer afraid of her.

"Long time no see, wise His Highness Ryan."

After looking at Ryan for a while, Gaia finally sat on the chair. No matter what the god in front of her thought, she didn't want to endure it any longer.

First, six offspring were imprisoned in the abyss, and then twelve children were forcibly stuffed back into the mother's body. After doing such a brutal act, Uranus did not hesitate to vent his desires for more than 20 years.

Gaia could feel her origin passing away every moment. Although as a god, she is immortal, if she continues like this, sooner or later, she will fall into eternal sleep.

"I came to seek help." Gaia said tiredly: "I gave birth to the prophesied knife, and you once claimed that it could shake the throne of the God King.

"I asked my children, although most of them swore an oath and dared not oppose their father, Kronos bravely took over the responsibility of holding the knife. "

"I am the assistant in your prophecy, but now, the biggest problem is in front of me. Prophet, wise Lord Ryan, please tell me how to truly shake the kingship of Uranus, and even make him no longer a threat forever. "

Faced with the Earth Mother's inquiry, Ryan smiled slightly and did not respond.

"What do you want?" The Earth Mother spoke again. Facing Ryan's silence, she asked directly.

"I can do my best to fulfill your request, as long as you tell me how to end this nightmare."

"Your Highness Gaia, you alone may not be able to give me what I want."

Not moved by Gaia's words, Ryan said calmly.

What he wants is not what Gaia can give alone, and even in comparison, Gaia's part seems unimportant.

"I need the destined knife bearer, and now it seems to be the honorable His Highness Kronos. If he can end the rule of the Father, he will be the unquestionable new king. I want you, Earth Mother, to help me do two things, but I need him to agree to three conditions. Then, you will know what you want. "

This is Ryan's price tag, two things from the original god, three conditions from the future God King, this price tag is really not low.

Although Gaia is still very weak, she still ripples with power. Faintly, although she has not been able to come out again, the power of time and space is also gathering in it.

"You made a prophecy, but you met me many times." Gaia said coldly: "If the God King knew about this, he would not let you go."

"Maybe, but you don't have to worry about it. As early as when we first met, I foresaw this day. "

"I originally prepared three things for you, but since you followed the agreement before, the oracle offset one. In addition, two requirements, three conditions, none of them can be missing. "

Faced with Ryan's toughness, Gaia was a little angry, but also a little helpless.

Although she didn't believe that the other party could see today thousands of years ago, she had to admit that since the prophet dared to sit here, he must have been fully prepared.

At least in terms of "foresight", Gaia admitted that she was far inferior to the other party.

"Tell me your conditions. Although I can't agree to you on behalf of my child, I am willing to listen to your requirements for my part."

After thinking for a while, Gaia said in a deep voice. Things have come to this point, and she can no longer hesitate.

With a slight smile, Ryan was not surprised by Gaia's surrender. Obviously, compared to a little external property, she hated the tyrannical king more.

"An artifact." So he said: "【Life Aquarius】, I want to borrow it for a thousand years, this is my first request."

【Life Aquarius】 is Gaia's companion artifact. Only in her hands can it be powerful. Without Gaia, the Life Aquarius will gradually become silent until it becomes a mortal, so Ryan only plans to borrow it temporarily.

Of course, Ryan couldn't guarantee whether it would be complete when it was returned.

"I agreed. What about the second one?" Facing Ryan's request, Gaia nodded and continued to ask.

"The second condition is simpler." Ryan said: "I ask you to arrange the growth of plants and climate changes under the waxing and waning of the illusory [Moon] according to the calendar I set. It cannot be changed until you challenge the God King."

This is Ryan clarifying the control of [Time] and [Moon] over plants and climate, and further improving their powers.

Theoretically, the Earth Mother can abolish it at any time after the new king ascends the throne, but Ryan doesn't care.

He only needs this time, as long as Chaos's "plant growth" and "climate change" are temporarily under [Time] and [Moon], when he swallows this origin, everything will be a foregone conclusion.
