Therefore, Laine didn’t mean to say it intentionally, but rather, before Zeus, successive Divine Kings and the Primordial Gods indeed had, to varying degrees, violated the will of the world.

However, facing him, Zeus was once again at a loss for words. He didn’t know how difficult this was, nor had he any experience in trying. But as for the incident itself, due to never having come into contact with the core of Tartarus and the mysteries of the world, in his mind, godhood was something that couldn’t be affected.

Deities never die, Divine Authority is eternal, this is a truth within Chaos, as immutable as the equation one plus one equals two. Other than the world itself, he had never seen godhood stripped away by external forces.

Of course, the authority of the ancient God of Sun still belonged to him, what was really destroyed was only the structure of the godhood, not its very existence. But to the deities, that was even more terrifying. After all, any deity capable of sensing the existence of the Source Sea, those with more than Intermediate Divine Power, knew what Source Power was.

When it took the form of godhood or a Divine Artifact, it was the most precious treasure any deity could possess. But when it came into direct contact with the deity itself, it was also the most dreadful poison in the world.

It could erode a god’s will, leading to the loss of self, and assimilation with the Law of the world. ‘Fusion with the Dao through the self’ sounds good, but to ‘fuse’ prematurely is another matter. If becoming closer to the rules and more powerful comes at the price of losing Wisdom and erasing one’s personality, then no deity could accept it.

At this moment, even though the three deities present were only spectators, they could already see, following the outflow of Source Power, the mass of golden light gradually starting to twist and warp.

The dim will of the ancient God of Sun seemed to instinctively sense something. He began to thrash about, trying to dodge the impending crisis, but it was futile.

Not to mention he was being restrained by the power of the Spirit Realm itself with nowhere to escape, even without the restrictions, it would be a meaningless act.

After all, authority and the deity are one and the same; even if the structure of the [Sun] godhood was slightly damaged, it still remained bound to Hyperion. Other than this world, nobody could strip a deity of the control over its own Divine Authority, which was supposed to be the innate and noble assurance of a deity’s birth, but at this moment, it had become a shackle instead.

No matter how the ancient God of Sun tried to evade, the leaking [Sun] Origin clung to his will like a shadow.

“Is this what you call a gift, allowing me to witness a deity’s ‘death’?”

Once again feeling deep malice, although the ancient deity in front of him said he had no specific intentions against him, the reality was otherwise.

Not making a move earlier or later, but waiting until his arrival to deal with the ancient God of Sun, if not to show him, then who was it for?

“Of course not, a gift naturally needs to have value, otherwise how could I offer it?”

Shaking his head slightly, Laine said slowly:

“Continue watching. Life always finds its own way out, especially since I left him an escape route.”

Narrowing his eyes slightly and seeing that Laine had no intention of elaborating, Zeus continued to watch the changes in the golden light before him.

In front of the three deities, the transformations of the golden orb grew more violent. When consciousness came into contact with Source Power, the concept and Laws belonging to the [Sun] also began to pour directly into Hyperion’s already unconscious mind.

Without order, without logic, if this information were an ocean, then the God of Sun’s consciousness was a drowning man. He could only passively drink in the seawater, regardless of whether he could digest it or even continue swallowing.

And not all of this information was valuable; much of it was useless. Like a person’s memories, knowledge only occupies a small part of it, while the numerous mundane experiences, though redundant and useless, actually make up the vast majority.

Under these circumstances, the gleam of the gold became more frantic, desperately trying to escape, but it was all in vain. However, just as the will of the deity was about to be thoroughly integrated, it abruptly stopped.

Then, before the three of them, the sphere of light trembled violently and immediately exploded with a resounding blast.

“Just as I thought.”

As the sphere burst apart, countless streams of gold, large and small, scattered in every direction. Disregarding the smaller ones, Laine directly seized the largest fragment and the three slightly less significant ones.

The smaller three were aspects of the God of Sun himself and parts of his authority that had leaked out, while the largest was the more intact Divine Artifact of the “Sun” itself.

This part seemed relatively safe, but that was only on the surface. After all, a trace of Chaotic Source Force that had been merged earlier was inside it.

“Is this the ‘way out’ you spoke of?”

Besides the four major parts, the remaining fragments were lost to the forces of vibrating time and space during the explosion, while others flew directly towards the three deities. Liana paid them no heed, but Zeus reached out to intercept some.

Looking closely at the light in his hand, the Divine King, who had observed the entire process, roughly understood the principle behind it.

Laine had disguised Chaos using the breath of ‘Samsara’ as the opposing Order, using it to touch and disrupt the structure of ‘Godhood,’ causing a slight overflow of the Origin, which then contacted the consciousness of Hyperion, based on his immortal essence.

Ultimately, the slumbering instinctual consciousness of the ancient God of Sun, to prevent assimilation by the Source Power, caused itself to collapse. His consciousness thus fragmented into countless pieces, shattered under the weight of divinity, while the released Source Power also became finely divided and started to settle down.

“Yes, this was his only ‘way out,’ and of course, it is also a gift I am giving you.”

Nodding, Laine turned his hand, and the largest light spot he had caught disappeared, leaving only three smaller ones.

“I can’t give you the main body of the Godhood, but these three you can have.”

“Unlike the rest, which were merely tools Hyperion’s instincts used to alleviate stress, these three to some extent embody some of the Divine Authority of the ‘Sun,’ which I suppose should be quite valuable to you.”

Indeed they were valuable, but also very dangerous. With a slight frown, Zeus knew these were good items, but he couldn’t figure out how to use them.

As for Hyperion, the Divine King actually didn’t care much for this Titan he had never seen. Compared to him, Helios, who typically drove the Sun Chariot, seemed much more manageable.

“But I can’t use them. Any lifeform that tries to merge with them will inevitably face not only the integration once borne by the God of Sun but also the resistance of its original master’s will.”

“That’s your problem. Use your ‘wisdom,’ and you’ll find a way.”

He emphasized ‘wisdom’ a little more firmly. While Godhood and power were not necessarily equivalent, it at least represented a minimum threshold.

“Just remember, don’t let too many fragments that originally belonged to the God of Sun come together. Otherwise, what might happen, I can’t guarantee.”
