Mythology: Spiritual Ruler

In the fifth level of the spiritual world, the illusory stars flickered slightly.

"Are you busy with such boring things again... How much strength can you increase by spending hundreds of years here?"

Stepping into the spiritual world, the chaotic time and space cannot affect the graceful figure under the black skirt at all. Nyx looked at the prototype of the interface that was moving up and down in front of Ryan, and easily saw Ryan's plan.

The ladies who stay the night don’t quite understand this kind of behavior. She could still understand Erebus's actions. He was trying to get rid of the shackles of the laws of this world and become a more comfortable great person, but Ryan had already achieved this.

For him, there are no threats in this world. Even the laws of the world themselves cannot control Ryan in the spirit world.

If Nyx also had an interesting world like the spirit world, she would probably just play the development game behind closed doors instead of spending time and energy on becoming stronger - she doesn't have many enemies, so she would have to do that What is the use of strong strength?

"A little adds up, Nyx, everything is accumulated little by little, not to mention that compared to what I want to do, my current strength is actually far from enough."

Shaking his head slightly, Ryan understood the gap in concepts between the two parties.

After all, he is not born immortal, so he is somewhat different from the gods of this world in many ways.

"There are still so many unknowns in the world, just like how everything was born from nothing in the first place, and what is outside the world. In the past, you could still think that Chaos was the only one in the world, but the Nine Realms Existence has negated this."

"Do you still remember the [Mother Tree of Flesh and Blood]?" As if remembering something, Ryan talked about what was left after the destruction of that world: "With your power, you should have discovered his existence when he entered the world."

"The destruction of a world...I think it's enough to serve as a warning to me."

"Maybe, as long as you're happy."

Noncommittal, Nicks was clearly not interested.

"If the world is going to decay, no matter what you do now, the end result will be the same."

"Compared to Chaos itself, the present world is just one aspect of him. Even if you can develop the spiritual world to its peak, or even become another aspect far away from the present world, what's the point?"

"Oh, let's talk about it then."

Shaking his head again, Ryan didn't want to argue pointlessly.

"So Nyx, why did you think of coming to see me today?"

He thought that the other person was just interested, and came to visit when he was bored, or asked him for some souls to take back and make a 'figure' - before they separated last time, Ryan shared a lot of experience in creating life and souls with Nick. Sri Lanka.

The Land of Evernight is probably more lively now, and there may be other changes in the future. However, what Nyx said next was beyond Ryan's expectation.

A snow-white cow turned into a human, crossed the mountains and the sea, fell into the whirlpool where Prometheus was, and was then sent out by the benevolent god of enlightenment. She finally reached the end of the sea and disappeared before Nyx's eyes.

The Mother of Night used her supreme power to penetrate time and space and found some scenes of the unfortunate human being heading to the East China Sea. But there was nothing wrong with everything before. Until he disappeared in front of Nyx, everything was so normal.

"What's her name?"

His expression gradually became serious, and Ryan realized that perhaps, as he just said, he really didn't understand the world as well as he thought.

"I roughly checked the traces of her arrival... She seems to be called Io, and she has some relationship with the new god king on Mount Olympus."

With a calm expression, Nyx could not find any trace of Io after she disappeared, but the traces she left before she disappeared were very conspicuous.

"If I can't find the answer here, I'll have to go to Olympus and have a look. I hope the new god-king won't answer me 'I don't know'."

The corners of his mouth twitched, but Ryan agreed with this.

"I have some guesses about this...but you can still go to Zeus to confirm. In fact, not long ago, there did seem to be a little accident there."

Ryan was referring to the inexplicable transfer of intellectual authority. After finishing the task at hand, he planned to go and see what happened for himself, but if Nyx was willing to do it for him, there was nothing wrong with it.

However, Ms. Ye obviously had no interest in this. Compared with a god king, she was more concerned about Yi'e disappearing in front of her eyes. Now that Ryan already has an idea, there is no need to go to Olympus anymore.

"Tell me your guess." He tilted his head. Under the changing veil, Nyx seemed a little excited.

"Well, if nothing else happens..."

After hesitating for a while, finally, looking at the edge of the sea pointed by Nyx, Ryan said slowly:

"The human princess who disappeared without a trace is probably on the bank of the Nile now... Maybe the Nine Realms was just an accident, and that's where the 'food' that Khaos captured early in the morning was."

Because of Ryan's existence, the trajectory of fate has long been disrupted. The smaller the matter, the more likely it is that it will deviate from the original story. Before, he actually didn't expect that the mythical Io would be born as scheduled, because compared to Zeus's later lovers, she neither gave birth to some famous heroes, nor was she the mother of a true god.

As an ordinary mortal princess, her existence itself should not be that important in her destiny.

Theoretically, Io should have disappeared long ago due to the disturbance of fate. There may be another human princess who is favored by Zeus, or similar things may happen, but the existence named 'Io' should not Will appear again in the world of Khaos in this life.

But the reality is that she still appears, and her fate has not changed at all. If so, what was her original fate?

"Give birth to Epaphus, the son of Zeus and her... He will rule Egypt and become king of the Nile."

The expression was incomprehensible, and Ryan vaguely captured some of the secrets behind it. He originally thought that this content would not reappear in the world of Chaos, because this world could not see anything related to Egypt at all, but looking at it now, his understanding was probably somewhat fallacious.

The myth did not come out of nowhere. Perhaps in its original destiny, Io's existence actually symbolized Chaos' cannibalization and annexation of another world - not a world that was attracted to it like the Nine Realms, but a world that was originally destined to be. A collision occurs.

But here comes the problem. The evolution of the world of Khaos has been greatly accelerated due to the existence of Ryan. The changes of the era and the birth of civilization have changed with it, but another...

If so, then of course everything is business as usual. But if not... then when the other world still develops according to its original trajectory, and Io arrives there with the so-called 'destined' King of Egypt, then she may not end well.

Because according to Ryan's guess, some kind of conceptual collision between the two worlds has already occurred, and in the trajectory of the original myth, Io should have been born thousands of years later.

Perhaps at that time, the two interfaces had begun to overlap, and even Chaos had already taken an absolute advantage. What the human princess did was not 'conquering', but more like blowing the horn of victory.

But things are different now. The battle between the worlds may not have come to an end yet, and nothing is known yet. But the existence of 'destiny' is so rigid. He still sent Yi'e to the opposite side, but forgot that it was not an 'occupied area' but an 'enemy country'.

"So, can you pinpoint her whereabouts?"

On the side, I don’t know what Ryan was thinking of, but Nyx recalled the past, and in her memory, there was no ‘Nile’ at all.

There is no place in the world of Khaos that she doesn't know about. If she has no impression, the only possibility is that the so-called 'Nile River' is not in this world. This solved her doubts. After all, if it was the power of the world realm, it would indeed be able to avoid her prying eyes.

As for why Ryan knew the secrets outside these worlds, she took it for granted. This most ancient god who lives in the world is always so special. No one knows how he was born before all things were created, and what he did.

"I'm afraid not yet."

Shaking his head and looking at Nyx's somewhat unhappy look, Ryan said slowly:

"We are too far apart, and there is probably a world barrier between us... But don't worry, there will be opportunities later."

"When the giant beasts with hundreds of heads attacked Olympus, the gods fled in all directions... If everything is as I guessed, this is an original part of Chaos's 'destined destiny', which he had planned early in the morning "Swallowing the World", as long as we follow them at that time, maybe we can find where Yi'e is going. "

"But Nyx, even if you and your body are not identical, can you really not see the trajectory of your destiny?"

There was some confusion, as if ever since they met, Ryan rarely felt that kind of omniscience about fate from Nyx.

It stands to reason that when the three phases control destiny, Nyx should have a higher understanding of destiny than he does. After all, myths are just specious legends from later generations, so how can they be compared to reading the ‘script’ directly?

"This is what I have to ask you - at least in the first era, my fate was not mysterious to me before I came into contact with you."

It seemed that she was complaining, but Ryan felt that Ms. Ye behind the veil seemed to be smiling happily.

"Only those who have had destiny will hate it more and more. You won't understand this feeling... Oh, don't talk about these boring things. In the future you see, how long will it take?"

"...It probably won't take long, at most, it won't be more than a thousand years."

Next to Nyx, listening to the other party's profound sigh, although Ryan didn't know what she saw in her original destiny, she couldn't help but reaffirmed her choice.

Don't predict yourself, don't take the initiative to put yourself under the limitations of fate, then no matter what, everything is possible.

"Then just wait, a thousand years, it won't be long."

Stretching, Nyx swept across the empty fifth spiritual world. There was nothing interesting here, she was going back to her own place.

But before leaving, she seemed to remember something. She turned back and asked curiously:

"Now that you are also interested in that world, what are you going to do? You won't go to the theater like me, right?"

"Of course not, and Nyx, it's not the first day you've met me. Isn't it obvious what I'm going to do?"

His expression was calm. Although he had just learned the unexpected news, Ryan had obviously made a decision.

"A world, a world much weaker than Chaos, a complete and independent world."

"This gift from the endless void... He can eat it, why can't I?"

······

With a light jump, Io was in a trance. When Io came back to her senses, she suddenly realized that the world in front of her had changed.

The ground was green, and in the distance was rolling yellow sand that she had never seen before. A wide river was surging, nourishing the land on both sides and bringing vitality to this desert.

The sky seemed to be much narrower. If it was a demigod with divinity, it could even be found that the laws that constructed everything were no longer the same, but this had nothing to do with Io.

She couldn't see so much, and the changes in the world did not have such a significant impact on a mortal like her. She just suddenly found that the gadfly that had been chasing her had disappeared, and even her body was changing back to its original appearance inch by inch.

The cow's hooves turned back into hands and feet, and the dress covered her body. The power of the foreign gods was dispelled, and Io turned back to her original appearance.

"Oh, the creator of bronze humans, Prometheus of foresight, whether you helped me or not, I thank you for your blessing!"

Under the blue sky and white clouds, there was no more mooing, and the girl's crisp voice returned to her.

She didn't know why she came here, nor why she turned back to her original form, but she attributed it all to Prometheus, the kind god who was tied under the sea eye and suffered.

She accidentally fell into the sea eye and saw this old god. She told the foresight about the short history that this generation of humans knew, and in return, Prometheus also told her about the real world.

Finally, the foresight blessed Io to be freed and sent her out of the sea eye. Now, the princess is very grateful to the ancient Titan god, and she has finally escaped from the abyss of pain.

But the joy is only short-lived. When she came back to her senses from the joy of finally regaining her freedom, when the momentary excitement disappeared, looking at this strange place, Io couldn't help but feel sad.

She lost her father and her home, and came here alone. The only things that accompanied her were the sun, the moon, the stars, and the blood of the cruel man in her belly.

Loneliness and helplessness surged into Io's heart. She looked around and saw that she was alone.

"God, no matter who it is, please answer me, how can I return to my home and see my father again."

Falling to the ground, Io prayed to all the gods she could think of, but she didn't get any response. So the girl fell to the riverside, looking at the rolling river in despair.

The wide river brings life and death, just as water is the source of life, it can also bring disasters that destroy the world. For a moment, Io even had a thought that maybe it would be nice to end her life.

"Maybe my birth was a mistake... There is only pain in this world. Maybe death is the destination of everything."

Standing by the river, Io closed her eyes slightly, but when it came to the end, she was a little scared,

"No, you can't die."

Suddenly, she heard someone say.

"Why? If I can't decide my fate, can't I decide my own life--"

She said loudly with excitement, but the next moment, Io seemed to realize something. There was no one else here except her, so who was talking to her just now?

Looking back suddenly, at the end of her sight, Io saw the source of the voice.

At the boundary between yellow sand and green, a girl who seemed to have gathered all the beauty in the world came towards her: the scorching sun didn't want to hurt her, so it let the clouds just block the sky; the branches of the trees didn't want to hinder her, so they made way with the help of the wind. The pure god stepped barefoot on the wet land, and where she walked, flowers bloomed and the fragrance came naturally.

"...You, who are you...Are you a god? Are you here to save me?"

Stupefied in place, then a look of joy appeared on her face. Io looked at the girl who looked about the same age as herself and asked expectantly.

She swore that no matter who this god was, if she could help her return to her homeland, she would be willing to spend her life spreading her greatness.

However, in front of her, the visitor just shook his head.

"I am Isis, the sacred one who controls life. I have saved many people, but this time, I am not here to save you."

The ethereal voice sounded again, and in a trance, the girl in the green dress crossed the long distance.

She looked at the princess who did not belong to this world, and was puzzled at first, but the next moment, she seemed to understand.

Looking at Io, Isis seemed to see herself and her future. The other party should not have come to her world at this time, so when she appeared here, the things that were originally destined were disrupted.

She originally carried the mission of replacing Isis, but now, all this was directly presented to the goddess of life.

This mission was given by Chaos, and it was also something that Hemenu could not resist, because the former's power far exceeded the latter by more than one step, so this was originally a forcibly destined ending under the power of the other party. Even after seeing all this now, Isis still found that she was powerless to do anything about it.

She could kill Io now, but everything was meaningless. Thousands of years later, when the power of the other world defeated Hemenu's resistance, what awaited her was still her doomed demise.

"I should thank you, even if you were arranged to replace me... I should also hate you, because you made me see more clearly my own powerlessness."

"What are you talking about?"

Io was a little puzzled. She didn't know what this strange goddess was talking about. Replace, who? As a mortal, how could she replace an immortal god?

"Nothing, just seeing you made me understand a lot of things."

With a smile, the whole world seemed to be happy. Isis raised her head slightly, looking at the sky and the earth.

"It turns out that I am going to marry my brother, but our future is a tragedy... I will give birth to the future king of Egypt, his name is Horus, an eagle and a storm... And you, should have come at that time, you replaced me, and your child also replaced my child, but now..."

"... You came too early, the fate of your world went in another direction."

Gently shaking her head, although she had understood the whole story, Isis was even more clear that the confrontation between the two worlds was definitely not something she could participate in, and the world that belonged to them was far inferior to the one on the opposite side.

Today's discovery may allow her to avoid her own tragedy, but that's all. And the premise of all this is that she should not try to go against this so-called "destiny".

"Can't I go against fate... In this case, I don't want to follow the same path, and you also bear the fate that originally belonged to you, so I'll just fulfill your wish."

Tilting her head, Isis took a gem from her hem and put it on Io's chest. The gem exuded a verdant light. Under its illumination, all the aura of Io belonging to another world seemed to be covered up.

"Carry my goodness, carry my evil, carry my power, and carry my destiny.".

"Your descendants may still become the masters of Egypt, but probably not this generation."

Smiling and stroking Io's cheek, Isis seemed to be talking to herself:

"Remember to pray to the gods of your world, starting from your generation, so that your descendants will not forget."

"Change the fate of a world, or a world that is more powerful than ours... If He can hear your prayers, perhaps everything can have a different ending."
