The sky.
The earth.
Although the World Tree in the underworld had reached this stage, it lacked the fundamental core to truly nurture the sky and the earth. But now, everything was different.
With Hades bringing the serpent of heaven and earth into the underworld, everything changed completely. The sky and the earth began to gradually take shape as the serpent merged into them.
Originally, the serpent was struggling violently. But sensing the birth of the sky and earth, it ceased its struggle, as if by instinct, and started to merge into the emerging sky and earth.
Buzz~~~
Buzz~~~
Endless divine hues spread from the World Tree, seemingly to cover the entire underworld. In a short time, the underworld had already reached an extreme.
Hades quietly observed everything. The nurturing of the sky and earth would be a long process, but this nurturing was one of the most crucial events for the entire underworld.
"It has begun," Hades whispered. "The nurturing of the sky and earth. The next step is earth, water, fire, and wind. As long as we proceed step by step, the underworld will develop the most perfect foundation."
Hades knew very well that although he had gradually dealt with internal issues through substitution, these matters were never simple. The current underworld enjoyed benefits without fulfilling duties, which wasn't easy. Over time, problems would arise. How to handle these matters became the most important issue.
This became the most crucial issue. Hades quietly observed. As time passed, the World Tree, which was fundamental, continued to nurture, grow, and take root.
The future?
The World Tree would lead the underworld to become a true mythological world. If that day came, both would be equal. Naturally, Hades would have accomplished everything he wanted.
However, these are matters for the future. The current growth of the World Tree should be considered laying a foundation, requiring time to perfect this foundation.
The serpent of heaven and earth had completely integrated into the sky and earth nurtured by the World Tree. With strands of divine power emerging, the entire underworld was undergoing tremendous changes.
The underworld experienced significant upheaval. Whether it was the underworld created by Hades, the Elysium, or the Contract Hell created by Mephistopheles, or each Underworld Star forged by every underworld god.
Sleep Star, Death Star, Space Star, Daylight Star, Fate Star, Misfortune Star, Ghost Star, Mockery Star, Destruction Star, Sorrow Star, Retribution Star, Deception Star, Friendship Star, Age Star, Vice Star, Rot Star.
A total of 16 Underworld Stars, all orbiting the World Tree. Their essence was the divine nations of the underworld gods, akin to the Contract Hell created by Mephistopheles.
All had integrated into the underworld. As the underworld evolved, they would also transform. Each underworld god would bring about change. If the divine heart signified their status as Hades' subordinate gods...
Their lives and deaths were in Hades' hands. By completely integrating their divine nations into the underworld, it represented something else.
Their essence had merged completely with the underworld, becoming gods whose fates were tied to the underworld. They could no longer escape or detach themselves from this.
There was no doubt about this. As everything unfolded, what would be the outcome?
The sky and earth were nurturing, and the underworld was evolving. The boundless divine power fed back into each underworld god, rapidly enhancing their divine power and their comprehension of the laws at a visible speed.
That feeling...
If not experienced personally, it would be hard to believe. This rocket-like ascent was too thrilling and exciting.
But!
The reality was so. Especially for Mephistopheles, who was almost laughing with joy. What? Being sealed by the dark star? It's unimportant! It's not important at all!
Mephistopheles didn't care. He was extremely happy now. If the divine power remained so ample, a few more times of this, and wouldn't he break through to the God-King level?
Mephistopheles had reached the peak of a Titan Lord ages ago. His divine power and laws were honed to the extreme.
However!
Breaking through was exceedingly difficult for Mephistopheles and all gods. Mephistopheles knew this was the best opportunity. Grasping this chance would allow him to break through to the God-King level.
This was the most important. Everything else was meaningless. For any god, further improvement was paramount. Everything else was truly insignificant.
Mephistopheles quietly awaited the infusion of divine power, feeling his growth. While the underworld elevated the underworld gods, it also underwent a tremendous transformation.
Many divine items and resources were being nurtured, which was astonishing. These divine items and resources could be used or reintegrated into the World Tree, feeding it once more.
Hmm~~~
Was this forming an internal sales loop? More or less! If understood this way, there was no error. In summary, this method would gradually form a perfect cycle within the underworld.
In reality.
Each mythological world was striving for transformation. This is the nature of mythological worlds. Everything seeks to improve, whether gods, humans, monsters, or even the worlds themselves.
This is indisputable!
As time progresses, ultimately, everything aims for further enhancement. What is the next step for mythological worlds? No one knows, not even the Absolute Gods.
However!
These matters are too distant for Hades. Now, he is just one step away from becoming a true God-King!
