Greek Mythology: Starting with Becoming the God of the Breeze

Electing a new generation of god-king is a momentous decision that could reshape the entire order of the Chaos pantheon.

Such a crucial shift in divine power could not be orchestrated by ordinary Titan deities.

Ordinary Titans lack prestige and power, and their vision is relatively narrow, mostly confined to pantheon interests and personal disputes.

If they were to lead the selection of the God-King, it would only exacerbate the conflict and trigger a new round of division and turmoil in the already fragile post-war state.

Therefore, the gods turned their attention to the few primordial gods who were at the top of the Chaos world.

Only these ancient beings, born at the beginning of chaos, who personally witnessed the creation of heaven and earth and bear the origin of the world, possess sufficient qualifications, heritage, and prestige to preside over this election of the God-King that will determine the future of the divine realm.

However, the number of primordial gods was already small, and not every one of them was suitable to stand in the forefront and manage affairs.

Therefore, after careful consideration, the neuroscientists quickly screened out a number of unsuitable candidates.

Nyx, the goddess of night, and her brother and companion Erebus were among the first to be excluded.

The two primordial gods are indeed very powerful, firmly ranking among the top in the Chaos world.

However, they are solitary and aloof by nature, and live year-round in the border zone between chaos and darkness, completely detached from everything.

Even when foreign enemies invaded, gods fought each other, and the world was in turmoil, they remained indifferent and merely allowed their gods to participate in the war, without actually joining it themselves.

The success rate of having someone with this kind of personality preside over the affairs of the God-King is almost zero.

Following closely behind in being removed was Uriah, the god of mountains.

This deity, who symbolizes the primordial mountains, has slumbered deep within the earth since his defeat in the battle against the first god-king, and has never awakened even once in millions of years.

In his slumbering state, He possesses absolutely no ability to govern; He is merely a figurehead with a title, but in reality, He is a figurehead.

Like Uranus, the first king of the gods who had long since faded from the gods' sight, he was directly removed from the list of candidates by the gods.

The last one to be excluded was Tartarus, the god of the abyss.

In the previous war against the cross-border invasion of the Egyptian pantheon, Tartarus immediately stabilized the defenses and protected the Chaos world from further damage, making outstanding contributions to the subsequent victory. His military achievements and absolute strength are beyond doubt.

However, He is cold and rational, and acts ruthlessly and too bluntly.

To the gods, He was more like a tyrant, and a powerful one at that, one that was difficult to resist.

If He were to preside over the election of the God-King, He would probably only choose a god like Him to be the God-King.

At that time, their lives will not be easy.

In just a few decades, the gods completed all the selection and elimination work.

Although the gods' main activity for the past few decades has been holding banquets, after all, they have won a victory and they certainly want to enjoy themselves.

As for serious matters?

It was mentioned casually while I was enjoying myself.

(Hmm...this aligns well with the work efficiency and time management of deities.)

Ultimately, they came to a conclusion.

Among the remaining primordial gods, only Gaia, the goddess of the earth, and Pontus, the primordial sea god, possessed all the qualifications to elect the third generation of god-kings.

Gaia gave birth to all things and gods. Although she had some flaws in her character, she never made any mistakes in important matters.

For a long time, Gaia has been deeply respected by all the gods, even if only superficially.

Pontos is somewhat inferior to Gaia.

Before the war with the ancient Egyptian pantheon, Pontus was only slightly better known than Tartarus.

The original ocean pantheon consisted of a bunch of brainless brutes, and Pontus, as their father god, certainly wasn't much better.

However, Pontos's outstanding performance in the last war earned him a lot of credit.

Upon learning that they had been chosen by the gods, Gaia and Pontos accepted the proposal without hesitation.

From this point on, the selection process for the third generation of god-kings officially began, and a new era belonging to Chaos slowly unfolded.

……

A thousand years have passed quietly.

For the past thousand years, the realm of the Chaos gods has maintained a stable and peaceful state.

Gaia and Pontus steadily restored order, repaired the world, and began selecting sufficiently outstanding gods from various pantheons as candidates.

Since the previous God-Kings were not elected, Gaia and Pontus needed to plan various rules, procedures, and the most basic conditions for participating in the God-King election.

These things alone took them quite a bit of time.

During this period, most of the gods who had survived the ravages of war were asleep and recuperating, awaiting the arrival of a new era.

This can be said to be the most peaceful and tranquil period in the Chaos world since its birth.

Meanwhile, Kanas used this time to completely digest the [Desert] Godhood within his body.

Or rather, it is the re-creation of a [desert] deity.

The underlying code of the entire deity was rewritten, and the nature of its authority was also greatly changed.

In Seth's hands, the "desert" is pure desolation and death.

Its core power is to plunder the vitality of all things and solidify the barren land. It is a cold and ruthless dead land, representing the most cruel, violent, and destructive side of the desert, where only withering and death exist, and no vitality or hope remains.

However, after being refined and rebuilt by Kanas over a thousand years, this transformed [Desert] deity possesses a completely new core and form.

It has completely broken free from the singular constraints of desolation and barrenness, shed its obsessive attribute of pure destruction, and transformed into a new symbol with a unique ecology and hidden vitality.

After Kanas transformed it, the desert became an independent, complete, and resilient closed-loop ecosystem and food chain system.

Hidden creatures lurk in the desert, and life is also hidden beneath the scorching sand.

The deathly silence and desolation are merely superficial; at their core, life is the dominant force.

Yellow sand can bury decay, end decay, and purify the redundant desolation of heaven and earth.

At the same time, deserts can also shelter living beings and increase life.

Even in the barren desert, a unique and resilient vitality can emerge.

Destruction and birth coexist; decay and new life are intertwined.

This is the true and complete "desert" that Kanas recognizes.

As it turned out, Kanas was right.

This can be seen from the several new deities that appeared after He transformed the [Desert] deity.

【Oasis】, 【Hot】, 【Evaporation】.

Of these three deities, the Oasis is the most unique, and it is also the main reason why Kanas believes he is right.

The remaining heat and evaporation were actually created naturally by Kanas when he was transforming the desert.

These three divine attributes are not the original divine attributes, but rather subordinate divine attributes under the [Desert] divine attribute.

Although it's not very valuable, it's enough to prove that Kanas is on the right track.
