Strands of mysterious divine power gradually emanated from Hades, wisps of an indescribable essence that filled the air with a special kind of divine energy. In this moment, Hades exuded a presence that was profoundly unique.
This divine power evoked feelings that defied description, a remarkable and enchanting force. As these strands of power emerged, Hades' expression gradually settled into calm.
Everything returned to silence, as if nothing had ever transpired. Hades' breath took on an endless tranquility, creating an experience that felt both profound and surreal.
At this moment, Hades did not resemble a typical god. While he embodied a divine temperament that transcended mortality, there was a distinctly human quality about him. This captivating contradiction made him feel both relatable and extraordinary.
Divinity, soul, ultimate power, Pluto, Underworld garment, Magic Star—each element contributed to his sublimation. At this instant, Hades truly embodied the essence of a Primordial god—the supreme deity. As he slowly opened his eyes, the nine-pointed star on his forehead began to evolve into a ten-pointed star, a transformation that seemed impossible.
The nine-pointed star had signified the ultimate pinnacle of divinity. Now, as it evolved into a decagram, it marked a profound evolution of Hades' very essence—a remarkable transformation.
Hades completed this change, and as he opened his eyes, a strange aura emanated from him—death, darkness, eternity, fate—yet none of these descriptors fully captured his essence. It could only be encapsulated as Pluto.
Hades was now the Primordial god of Pluto, a title that defined his existence at this elevated level.
As a Primordial god, Hades had sublimated the laws of the Underworld to align with his divine essence, similar to how the Titan gods refined their own laws into those of the Primordial gods. His future path was now set.
Even if he sought further advancement, the next critical step would be transforming his Primordial god laws into those of an absolute god. This daunting challenge loomed ahead. It may sound straightforward, but the path was fraught with difficulty.
Regaining his composure, Hades' gaze took on an indifferent quality. He envisioned the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss as he sat upon his throne, perceiving the entire Underworld—beginning with the Yellow Spring, traversing the Eight Great Hells, Yan Mo Hell, and Soul Hell. In the next moment, he channeled boundless divine power and laws into the Underworld.
In an instant, black chains enveloped the entire realm, altering the atmosphere once more. This monumental change reshaped the Underworld according to the laws of the Primordial gods.
The Pluto enchantment that descended was impenetrable to ordinary gods—impossible to see through or break.
"This is the power of the Primordial gods."
"Origin."
"I see."
Hades perceived the laws of the Primordial gods but experienced them in a wholly unique manner. Although he had once defeated his father god, that victory had come under conditions of extreme weakness and held little significance.
Now, however, everything felt different. He sensed profound changes, aware that his essence had undergone remarkable evolution. Whether he had been the main god of the past, a Titan main god, or a god king, mastering the law had been about utilizing the law itself. The power of the law was merely a fragment of the greater whole.
Upon becoming a Primordial god, everything transformed.
The law of the Primordial gods was no longer a mere law; it had become a pure source, signifying that he had become the foundation of this law.
Once he attained the level of a Primordial god, Hades could begin to influence the heavens and the myriad worlds, solidifying his avatar throughout the Chaos Sea. This fundamental principle was of utmost importance.
In the vast cosmos, countless multiverses and parallel universes exist within the Chaos Sea. Even as Hades emerged from minor realms, he remained Hades. Each iteration of him exists both as false and real, for they all coexist.
However, this distinction is crucial: if one cannot reach the level of a Primordial god, they cannot claim dominion over themselves. The power of a god king cannot extend that far. Yet, upon achieving the Primordial level, one can truly condense their essence, gradually involving all beings known as Hades. These divine powers, laws, and origins would eventually be absorbed by him.
In the end, they would merge into one, transcending and becoming the supreme absolute god. But this path is anything but easy.
Take, for example, the Lord God of Heaven, who has invested countless efforts into this journey. Even after transforming into a transcendent state, they struggle to truly return to themselves.
This challenge arises because, when other Lord Gods attempt to transform into Absolute gods, it becomes increasingly difficult for them to maintain their identity.
Of course, this is heavily influenced by the Lord God of Heaven's need to retreat and stabilize transcendent powers. Otherwise, given the chasm between the Absolute God and the Primordial God, the other Gods of Heaven would stand no chance of resistance.
Indeed, while any God of Heaven is born a Primordial god, Hades is fundamentally different.
As a Primordial god, Hades' essence is not merely that of a deity; a substantial gap exists between him and the essence of a true Primordial god. Hades embodies the essence of a Titan main god, making this journey markedly more attainable.
