"Um?!"
Gaia frowned slightly, raising her head in thought, and whispered softly, "Erebus, Nyx, did you truly make such a choice? The moment your breath entered the Underworld..."
They are also Primordial gods!
Gaia naturally sensed the movements of Erebus and Nyx. When they entered the Underworld, she understood exactly what that meant.
Yes, this signified that these two Primordial gods had embraced the Underworld and become its deities.
Such a choice is unimaginable for any Primordial god.
Primordial gods possess their own arrogance! That kind of pride makes it almost impossible for them to bow their heads.
Because of this, even if every Primordial god feels that the world is gradually restraining them—if this continues, they will be swallowed up by it—they still refuse to create a small world to escape into. This is the arrogance of the Primordial gods.
Even though Erebus and Nyx live quietly in the darkness, they remain in the grand world, unwilling to retreat to a smaller realm. This makes their choice all the more shocking; it's astonishing that these two Primordial gods would join Hades in meditation.
This is truly surprising, perhaps even unimaginable. What kind of power does Hades possess that could persuade two Primordial gods to set aside their pride and choose to enter the Underworld?
For any god, this is almost unbelievable, yet Hades has done it; he has truly achieved this feat.
"Huh"
Gaia exhaled a breath of stale air and murmured, "Erebus, Nyx, you chose Hades, but I didn't expect you to commit so completely to the Underworld. Perhaps your choice is indeed the correct one..."
Sighing softly, Gaia withdrew her gaze and chose not to dwell on it further. Some decisions are made, and her denial would be meaningless; it is not something she can dismiss.
Gaia's perspective is gradually shifting.
As an original Primordial god, Gaia understands that across many multiverses and the entire Chaos Sea, she has transformed into an absolute god.
When one reaches such a state, self-containment fades, and one may become part of the world as it develops, or become confined within oneself.
However, regardless of the outcome, her destiny seems set: to become a pure force that vanishes forever.
Compared to the courage of Erebus and Nyx, Gaia feels somewhat defeated, even in light of the power of the heavens.
The Lord God of the universe, too, finds himself in disarray.
What he's doing now is merely resisting the notion of allowing his child to disappear in such a way.
As for Gaia's actions?
In truth, she hasn't done much at all. Gaia really doesn't want to take any action anymore; she shakes her head silently, no longer wishing to think about anything.
This is the mindset that emerges from despair. When one realizes that no matter how hard they try, they remain trapped, like a puppet unable to escape, it can lead to resignation.
The mountains trembled slightly, and the figure of an elegant woman emerged, stepping forward and whispering, "Hades! You have surpassed Cronus and consumed most of Tartarus. Now, have Erebus and Nyx also made their choice?"
She is Uriah, the goddess of the mountains!
As one of the Primordial gods, Uriah also chose the path of the god king. However, like Gaia and others, her investment is more casual, not binding her to any particular outcome.
Uriah, Eros, Pontos, and Uranus represent a more casual investment in the divine. Even if they fail, it is just an initial investment. If it doesn't work out, so be it! But if it succeeds, that is the ideal outcome.
Yet because of this casualness, their investment feels meaningless. Unlike Erebus and Nyx, who have fully committed to Hades. They will support him as long as necessary, solving any issues that arise.
Although they are not thugs to aid in battle, they have done their utmost; after all, if they were to play the role of thugs, it would render growth meaningless.
"Well!"
Uriah sighed slightly but ultimately shook her head. Some discussions, she felt, were futile. Every being has its own destiny, and now the fates of Erebus and Nyx are slipping away from the world.
Such a disappearance is indeed enviable! But regardless of the circumstances, what has happened is unchangeable.
Erebus and Nyx nurture Hades like caring parents, their only absence being the act of chasing and feeding.
Under these circumstances, Hades' attitude toward Erebus and Nyx is unquestionable. As for the other Primordial gods who wish to enter the Underworld?
Hehehe
Do they think he needs them? He simply doesn't want them! Especially considering that the current Underworld spans two grand worlds. With Hades returning to his true self, the Underworld will continue to experience growth; over time, it will only become more powerful.
This is the future path of the Underworld.
To put it plainly!
There's no need for doubt!
In many cases, as time progresses, the Underworld's speed of growth will be extraordinary. Just like Meng Po, who is absent from Hell! All the hells, the Underworld, and Hades...
Everything from the heavens and myriad worlds can be included in the Underworld. Even if the seventy-two demon gods originate from minor realms, that doesn't diminish their essence. As long as they are within the Underworld, they can continue to grow, and with Hades' blessing, they can devour their peers.
Given such conditions, everything becomes different. This is the future path of the Underworld, a journey of glory. No matter how envious these Primordial gods might feel, they cannot shed their pride. Likewise, Hades also looks down upon them, establishing a firm foundation for their relationship.
