Strands of divine power continued to grow, Hades' divine power and laws increasing at a visible speed. It felt like the enhancement of a divine kingdom, and the self-improvement that came with it, continued as time passed.
Hades seemed to see the final barrier, but at that moment, everything fell into complete stillness, halting just a step away from progress. This feeling was unbearably frustrating. However, Hades quickly regained his composure.
For Hades, under absolute rational control, even though this situation was indeed uncomfortable, he soon recovered. If the final step couldn't be taken for now, there was no need to rush. Having reached this point, he was already at the door, even having pushed it open by a third or half.
Take it slowly! For him, maintaining a stable mindset was the most important thing. If his mentality faltered, that would be the biggest problem. As for this last bit of distance? It wasn't an issue; he had already found his origin.
In the future, even if he advanced step by step through cultivation, in tens of thousands of years, he could still steadily reach the level of a God-King. This had never been a problem, especially since his foundation was so solid. Both his divine power and laws were cultivated to a very stable degree, which was the most crucial aspect.
"However..."
Hades quietly watched the Ouroboros. At this moment, with the passage of time, as the sky and earth gradually took shape, the state of the Ouroboros seemed to change drastically. Strands of special divine power began to emanate from the Ouroboros, and its divine power was rapidly increasing, solidifying firmly at the level of a God-King.
Even?
"An Ancient God?" Hades showed a rare expression of surprise and doubt in his voice. He had always maintained his rationality regardless of the situation.
But now, Hades could never have imagined that the Ouroboros would undergo such a significant transformation. This change seemed too astonishing.
The birth of an Ancient God?
Indeed!
The Ouroboros was gradually advancing to the level of an Ancient God, which left Hades momentarily stunned. He couldn't comprehend that it could reach such a level.
However!
Hades did not rush. He continued to watch everything before him calmly. As time passed, the Ouroboros began to coil, eventually biting its own tail at the top of the World Tree.
Ouroboros.
The connection of head and tail formed the Ouroboros. At this moment, the Ouroboros, having absorbed the divine power of heaven and earth, gradually merged into Hades' World Tree, forming a true Ouroboros and a perfect cycle of heaven and earth.
"However..."
Hades thought for a moment and said lightly, "Next, it will take a long time to nurture. For the Ouroboros to transform perfectly and possess the infinite seal, it will take a very long time."
After some thought, Hades left. Yes, after absorbing heaven and earth, the Ouroboros was gradually transforming into an Ancient God, an Ouroboros, mastering the infinite laws.
However!
This was an extremely long process. As time passed, Hades was absolutely certain that the Ouroboros could be born, transforming into an Ancient God mastering infinite laws. But as for the process?
Hehehe~~~
That's an unpredictable matter.
Hades withdrew his thoughts and returned to the Elysium, sitting on his divine throne, contemplating many things. With the Ouroboros' transformation, the sky and earth were born from the World Tree.
The next step would be the birth of the four elements: earth, water, fire, and wind, gradually pushing the world to become more complete. However, this was not an easy task. Moving forward was even more challenging.
"Pillars."
Hades softly whispered these words.
Pillars!!!
Exactly.
Pillars were the core of the next step. Unlike other World Trees that were nurtured step by step, Hades' World Tree was essentially the core of his divine kingdom, a part of it.
In this context, for Hades' World Tree to give birth to earth, water, fire, and wind, it required a core point—a pillar. It could be called the Pillar of Heaven, the Pillar of Earth, or any similar name.
These names were arbitrary, but a pillar was what the underworld needed most now—a very perfect pillar.
If this pillar couldn't be obtained, the development of the underworld would almost certainly stagnate. Moreover, this pillar had to match the attributes of the underworld. You couldn't just find any pillar and expect it to work.
For this reason.
Pillars!
This was Hades' most important and pressing issue now. The problem was clear, but how to handle it and find a suitable pillar?
That was the biggest issue.
Hades quietly pondered how to find this suitable pillar. It was indeed a problem; at least in the mythical world, he hadn't found a suitable pillar.
Unless!
He considered the underworld? After some thought, Hades dismissed the idea. The underworld was transformed from the body of the Ancient God Tartarus. Finding a pillar within it was also impossible.
Hades understood this well. The pillar needed for the underworld would have to be found bit by bit, step by step. Otherwise, future issues would remain troublesome.
This wouldn't hinder his advancement to the God-King level, but the development of the underworld would come to a halt. Only by finding a pillar and giving the underworld a support point could it continue to advance.
