Myth: The Ruler of Spirituality

Chapter 428: Chapter 114 Arrows and Gifts



The small vial shattered, and the blood foam of the former Heavenly Father fell into the well water, instantly stirring up a thousand ripples.

Deep beneath the Well of Reincarnation, intertwined destinies and gradually converging consciousness seemed to have found an object to cling to. They immediately surged towards the direction of the Divine Blood, merging with it and undergoing a metamorphosis.

Thus, beneath the bi-colored water surface, a massive cocoon of light slowly took shape. It greedily absorbed the surrounding energy, transforming it into nourishment for growth, as the breath of life within grew increasingly more intense.

Meanwhile, during the formation of the light cocoon, two streams of light emerged from nowhere, circling indecisively to its left and right. Their auras interlinked and transformed into each other, tending towards a singular entity—that was none other than the two segments of the Divine Lance Gungnir.

In the past, Laine had split the lance, which had absorbed the vitality of the World Tree roots, into three parts. The middle section inherited the aspect of 'oath,' while the two sides bore the power of 'certainty.'

He cast them into the Well of Reincarnation, hoping they would be fully utilized to become an extraordinary Divine Artifact. Now, they were evidently influenced by the birth of the new deity, drawn to it and becoming its accompanying entities.

As time ticked by, the light cocoon swelled even more, and faintly, the sound of a heartbeat began to emanate from within. At the same time, feeling the increasing suction force, Laine spared no effort in infusing various powers into it.

It was not only pure energy but also an array of memories and faith related to specific emotions. With their infusion, the aura emitted from the light cocoon grew more unique, even causing the nearby souls, cleansed of memories and awaiting reincarnation, to be affected and stir slightly.

However, these souls were swiftly subdued by the guards surrounding them. These beings summoned by the Three Goddesses of Reincarnation, although somewhat affected, maintained their autonomy under the protection of Divine Power and upheld their duties.

"Let them back off, this influence will only get more intense. In a while, even your Divine Power won't protect them,"

Seeing this, Laine instructed Erinys, who immediately executed the order.

As for this special influence, Laine could have forcibly stopped it, but considering it involved the birth of a new deity, it was better to let nature take its course.

Soon, the area around the Well of Reincarnation cleared. Standing on the well's edge, Laine continued to await the birth of the deity. The bi-colored well water at the core began to spin faster and faster, even forming a vortex at one point, relentlessly swallowing everything around it.

As energy accumulated, rather than growing, the core cocoon shrank. At one moment, when the swallowing of external matter reached its peak, the well water's vortex suddenly stilled for an instant, then burst forth tumultuously, stirring up towering waves.

Accompanied by a crisp crackling sound, the light cocoon shattered. An endless flood of light poured out, illuminating every corner of the fourth layer of the Spirit Realm.

Desire Twins—Volos/Eros

The new deity was born, and its true name resounded, but just as Laine had anticipated, it did not cause any world-altering phenomena. Even the newborn deity didn't appear powerful, but rather exceptionally weak.

In the world's conception, the former Primordial Deity was already dead, and Its innately held authority had long since scattered. Even reborn, It was destined not to reclaim them.

Aside from retaining a few traits of the Primordial Gods, which made some of her powers nearly exempt from anything less than Great Divine Power, the new deity was merely a True God, not even reaching Intermediate Divine Power.

However, at this moment, observing the figure that leaped out from the cocoon, Laine's lips twitched slightly.

"What is this situation, how did the mythological Little God of Love split into two?"

Although he did not voice it out loud, looking at the boy and girl before him, both about eleven or twelve years of age and each wielding a 'miniature' bow, Laine was a bit baffled by the logic behind it.

Perhaps there was some issue between the destiny he manually grafted and the original mythology, or perhaps the nature of reincarnation was such, or maybe there was something in the blood foam used to shape their bodies—the blood he took contained not only Aphrodite's image but also a part of the Three Furies, after all, they had not yet been born when Laine arrived.

Indeed, the blood of Uranus could give birth to deities, but it was not without aim but took place when the spilled blood matched certain opportunities or concepts. The Three Furies matched his hatred towards his offspring and Mother Earth, and Aphrodite, naturally, had to do with his desire.

Even Laine had once wondered whether the intense desire of the Heavenly Father was influenced by the scattered authority of the Primordial Deity throughout heaven and earth, and the fact that the mythical Little God of Love was nurtured by the Goddess of Beauty was yet another manifestation of this influence.

It was due to the influence of the Primordial Deity that the Heavenly Father's Divine Blood could give birth to the Goddess of Beauty. Conversely, the offspring of the Goddess of Beauty likewise seemed to become the vessel for the Primordial Deity. The current world shuns greatness, and the mythological Eros was even less visible than other Primordial Gods.

If it wasn't for Laine's arrival leading to Its premature demise, then It indeed might have chosen to descend in such a way, avoiding the world's constraints.
