The fate of myths, everything is predestined. From the moment of creation, it operates only in this way. This is true for all myths.
Even in the ancient times, wasn't it the same? Whether they were innate gods or practitioners defying the heavens, they would perish with the world's end. Even the saints of the heavenly way? Who knows what the result will be.
Hades remained silent. There was no need to say anything more because it was meaningless. In the end, everything was laid out before him, including Erebus and Nyx's investment in him.
In simple terms, this was just another investment. If it succeeded, great. If it failed, they would have another chance. After all, Hades wasn't the only successful God-King.
In the mythological world, attempting to break through and transcend fate repeatedly was easiest for gods with the status of God-King.
Uranus, Cronus, Hades, Poseidon, Zeus, Abel, and Athena.
Greek Pantheon · Mythological World.
These seven held the status of God-King from the birth to the end of myths. They were more capable of transcending and breaking the shackles of fate, like Hades' invincible Titan God-King father.
In fact, Cronus had already broken the shackles. He could abandon his position as God-King without any effect and continue to accumulate power for further breakthroughs. But Cronus was unwilling. He wanted to grasp power step by step and oppose the world.
Each primordial god could also choose ordinary gods. It's not that ordinary gods couldn't transcend fate's shackles, but the process was too difficult, almost impossible.
"But," Nyx smiled, "no matter what, we must keep moving forward, Hades. The path of the gods is always full of difficulties and obstacles. We can only choose to move forward."
"I know," Hades nodded quietly, understanding the outcome. There was no other choice. This was the only result.
Transcend!
Die!
There was no second option.
Buzz...
Buzz...
At this moment, Erebus took out two stones, saying quietly, "Hades, these are two stones most suitable for you, nurtured by us primordial gods. Essentially, they are stones with almost infinite evolutionary potential."
"I understand." Without hesitation, Hades accepted the two stones.
Primordial Origin Stones.
These things...
Well, it's known that the Ultimate Power is the absolute divine power only possessed by primordial gods and Cronus, the Titan God-King who has transcended. It surpasses the will of the gods and the small universe, representing the pinnacle of divine power and the prototype of everything.
What about the battle armor or divine armor worn by primordial gods? Hades and other gods forge their divine armor, incorporating their characteristics. The material's quality and the god's power determine the armor's grade.
The Twelve Titans' armor, however, was created by Gaia, second only to the battle armor of primordial gods, known as Chuzhen.
The battle armor worn by primordial gods is the Great Secret Treasure, essentially part of their bodies. Primordial gods represent rules and nature, and the Great Secret Treasure embodies these.
The Primordial Origin Stones are similar to the Great Secret Treasure, being top-tier divine items with unlimited evolutionary potential. Each stone is theoretically equivalent to the Great Secret Treasure, though they require long-term nurturing.
Erebus's Origin Stone is named "Darkness," and Nyx's Origin Stone is named "Night."
These two Origin Stones were given to Hades as the third investment by the two primordial gods. With these stones, Hades could forge artifacts with unlimited evolutionary potential, initially as powerful as Chuzhen. Moreover, these artifacts could potentially become Great Secret Treasures.
"Additionally," Nyx continued, "Tartarus's Origin Stone is in the Underworld. However, we can't find it. As another primordial god, you'll have to find Tartarus's Origin Stone yourself, Hades."
"Yes," Erebus nodded, "Hades, with your innate status as the ruler of the Underworld, finding Tartarus in the Underworld shouldn't be difficult. You can do it."
"I understand," Hades nodded silently. With this information, he would continue the search.
Then, Nyx continued, "Hades, you obtained a vial of the Lament of the Gods from Metis, correct?"
Indeed, with the power of primordial gods, knowing anything was easy. However, such matters weren't simple. Random prying could trigger a backlash.
For this reason, Erebus and Nyx couldn't watch Hades constantly. But as primordial god spouses, they were genuinely pleased.
They were delighted with their chosen investment target. Hades was excellent. With each step, he was close to retrieving his origin, almost assuredly becoming a God-King. Wasn't that impressive?
Hades quietly replied, "Yes."
Erebus said seriously, "Hades, the origin of the Lament of the Gods is very special. I can only say it's an extremely precious divine medicine. If you keep it, we can help you enhance it into the true Lament of the Gods."
"I understand," Hades nodded. The third interaction with the two primordial gods concluded, and it was time to leave.
As for the issue of the Lament of the Gods, the two primordial gods didn't bring it up, and Hades didn't continue asking because it was meaningless. If Hades could retrieve his origin without using the Lament of the Gods, it wouldn't be too late to discuss it later.
