"Do you know, Gaia, that all things need nourishment to grow?"
"The world draws strength from its own cycles and the void, while the gods extract power from their corresponding symbols through godhood. One quality transforms into another, and equivalent exchange is the unchanging law of this world."
"So what?" Gaia frowned as she listened to Erebus's words: "Of course, I know this."
"Even the plants that I create need to draw nutrients from the earth, and I don't need you to teach me that. What do all these things you are saying have to do with life and the soul?"
With a faint smile, Erebus remained unhurried. Perhaps influenced by his godhood, The Dark Overlord quite enjoyed the sensation of revealing secrets bit by bit.
"Is that so? Then tell me, my sister, plants draw their nutrients from the earth, but where do those lives created by the gods obtain the strength to maintain their existence from?"
