Chapter 142 Ouranos: My children, will you betray me?
2
Just when the Mother Goddess of Earth, Gaia, allowed the Tree of Life to take root in the soil deep in the earth and become the Tree of Life.
The Tree of Life began to absorb the power of various elements and laws in the earth and the world of Chaos.
Uranus, the god of the sky, who was in the sky itself, did not sense the roots and movements of the Tree of Life.
However, at this moment, he suddenly felt an inexplicable discomfort in his heart.
It's as if there is an enemy in the dark, staring at me or threatening me.
This wasn't the feeling of Tartarus threatening him, it was another kind of threat.
Because the threat posed by Tartarus to him was very strong, it was not just a weak and vague feeling.
At the same time, Uranus sensed that the amount of power of elements and laws of the world of Chaos absorbed by the earth was obviously much stronger than before.
As gods grow, their divine power does not emerge out of thin air. Instead, as they grow, they absorb the power of various elemental laws of the Chaos world, and then form divine power.
Gaia's earth body grows and belongs to the Chaos world, one of the most powerful bodies.
Its normal growth rate is not slow, and the amount it absorbs is much greater than that of most gods.
But in comparison, the amount absorbed now is significantly enhanced than before.
"After absorbing so much, Gaia's growth rate suddenly increased. What's going on?" Uranus wondered.
I can't figure it out.
So, he decided to find out.
boom!
The divine power of the sky formed a brilliant column of divine light, which fell directly from the sky and connected to Mount Othreus in the center of the earth.
Sensing Uranus, Gaia quickly calmed herself down to an extreme state of calm.
The divine consciousness and the ball of nothingness are in operation, shielding the Tree of Life even more powerfully.
Whoosh!
Gaia disappeared where she was.
In a flash, she appeared on the top of the Earth Temple.
Uranus appears.
He looked at Gaia and said in a deep voice: "Gaia, what are you doing?"
Gaia said calmly, "I didn't do anything. I was just feeling the earth."
"Really?" Uranus looked into Gaia's eyes, trying to see the change in the latter's expression.
Unfortunately, he could not see or sense any changes in Gaia's emotions.
After all, he is the most intelligent and longest-lived being in the Chaos world.
Gaia can still control her emotions at will.
"Why do you suddenly grow so fast?" Uranus asked.
Gaia said calmly, "My understanding of the Earth's essence may have accelerated my growth."
"Uranus, you've been in the sky for the entire time. You must have had a sudden realization, right?"
Uranus' tone became stern, and he said, "You don't seem to have a sudden enlightenment now. I don't sense any violent fluctuations in the power of the laws."
"Are you using the artifact, the Bottle of Life, to increase your growth rate?"
"I have already established the Divine King's rules, which forbid any god between heaven and earth from using divine artifacts. You are violating the Divine King's rules."
Gaia frowned slightly and said, "Uranus, since you set the rules, you can sense that I have not used any artifacts."
"If I really use it, it will be like this now."
As she spoke, she summoned the emerald green bottle of life from her body and placed it in the palm of her right hand.
> Instantly, the punishment imposed by the Divine King's rules became apparent.
A brilliant sky chain appeared, containing powerful force and obvious various sky laws, and directly wrapped around Gaia's arm.
The chain wrapped around and tightened, as if trying to strangle Gaia's arm.
Gaia had only taken out the artifact and had not yet fully used it.
The punishment he suffered from the God King was not an exaggeration.

Seeing this scene, Uranus frowned.
Actually saw Gaia take out the bottle of life.
He sensed this artifact, so he was sure that Gaia had not used the companion artifact, the Bottle of Life, before this.
And now, the God King rules he set were triggered, which meant that Gaia had truly taken out the artifact.
The divine punishment was not too strong, indicating that Gaia had not yet fully activated the power of the Bottle of Life.
All these changes showed that Gaia had never used the artifact before!
At this moment, Gaia's tone was slightly angry: "Uranus, I submit to you and am your subordinate god, but I am not your slave."
"You are stronger than me, you can defeat me, but that doesn't mean you can slander me."
Uranus sneered, "Gaia, if I truly wanted to slander you and wage war against you, I wouldn't be here to talk to you today."
"The Bottle of Life is your companion artifact. You might be able to hide it from my perception and evade the God King's punishment to use it. I'm not sure."
Gaia said coldly, "Uranus, you underestimate me. Just because you defeated me doesn't mean my talent is inferior to yours."
"As the first original god in the Chaos world, I am also the god with the highest potential."
"Isn't it normal that one can increase their growth rate by long-term understanding of the earth's essence and understanding of the world?"
"My Life Bottle doesn't have the ability to increase my growth rate. If you don't believe me, you can go and find out how to use it."
As she spoke, she activated the Bottle of Life, causing it to release a powerful breath of life.
At the same time, the bottle of life flew out of her hand and flew in front of Uranus.
Because of the use of artifacts.
Gaia completely triggered the God-King rules set by Uranus.
Gaia's body was bound by nine sky chains.
These sky chains burst out with the powerful power of the God King, and brilliant divine light bloomed.
The chains transmitted a powerful binding force, and a mysterious power was transmitted into Gaia's body.
Gaia instantly sensed that the flow of divine power was slightly disturbed and was not as smooth as before.
At the same time, her movements were also restrained by the immense force of the sky chains.
However, the binding force was still too weak for her, who was so powerful.
Last time, she quickly took back the Bottle of Life, so she didn't really feel the attack of the God King's rules.
This time, she activated the ability of the Bottle of Life to deliberately trigger the rules of the God King.
Take the opportunity to use it to experience the strength of this rule.
If any of the Titan gods on earth were bound by these sky chains.
The flow of their divine power would become unsmooth, and their divine bodies would even be forcibly suppressed to the point of being unable to move.
But for Gaia, this force was too weak.
This time, her purpose is to judge the strength of the God King's rules.
Secondly, it also allows Uranus to perceive the actual use of the artifact.
Before leaving the depths of the earth, Gaia instantly controlled the Bottle of Life, completely concealing the animals inside and hiding them in the darkness of the Bottle of Life.
Except for her, the owner of the artifact, any god who uses the Bottle of Life will not be able to sense those animals.
Naturally, Uranus couldn't find out the real situation inside.
Gaia felt even more confident: "The power of the Divine King's rules is weaker than I imagined. To me, it's almost like there's no restraint, more like a form of surveillance."
At this time, Uranus reached out and caught the bottle of life.
His divine sense penetrated into it and sensed it quickly.
This was the first time Uranus got the Bottle of Life.
After truly perceiving it, he understood.
> When Gaia fought with me, why didn't I use the companion artifact, the Bottle of Life, in the end?
This artifact is full of life force and is very effective in healing the injuries of gods and nourishing various weak life forms.
But it is of almost no help in combat, so it is not a magic weapon for fighting.
Uranus carefully explored for more than ten minutes and used the power of the Bottle of Life.
He was certain that this bottle of life did not have the ability to increase the growth rate of the gods.

Chapter 142: Ouranos: My children, will you betray me?
Uranus thought to himself: "That's right, if Gaia had the ability to increase her growth rate."
"In these thousands of years, her strength couldn't have been this high. She would be far stronger than me and Tartarus."
"I'm overthinking it. After all, it's a primitive god. It's normal for it to grow faster and absorb more."
"But maybe she has other ways."
Thinking in his heart, Uranus used the divine power of the sky.
His divine consciousness transformed into a tiny particle, its aura so weak that it was almost non-existent, and it was hidden in the bottle of life.
Then, Uranus casually threw the Bottle of Life to Gaia.
He said calmly, "The Bottle of Life does not have the ability to increase your growth rate."
"However, there's no guarantee that there aren't other divine artifacts hidden deep within the earth, and you used them."
As he spoke, he pointed to the ground beneath his feet.
"Okay." Gaia nodded.
She stepped lightly on the hall and her body naturally floated up.
The hall where she was standing collapsed with a loud bang, followed by the ground and rocks beneath the ruins of the hall collapsing with a loud rumbling sound.
Soon, a huge bottomless pit appeared.
In the deep pit, it was dark and nothing could be seen. Even after tens of thousands of meters, divine sense could not detect anything.
Gaia looked at Uranus and said calmly, "You can enter it and carefully perceive it with your divine sense."
Looking at the huge dark pit under my feet.
After hesitating for a few seconds, Uranus did not enter.
In that battle, he defeated Gaia, and the sky itself came down and bordered the earth.
In the end, the sky enveloped the earth and defeated Gaia.
In the end, Uranus did not completely enter the depths of the earth.
Unless now he lets the sky itself wrap him up and then goes deep into the earth.
But he was even more afraid that such a huge pit was deliberately created by Gaia to lure him into it.
Then, the earth severed his connection with the sky's original body.
Eventually he was trapped, seriously injured, or defeated.
After all, thousands of years ago, he fought a battle with Tartarus.
It was this kind of crisis.
It was from that battle that they suffered huge losses for thousands of years to come.
He would not be defeated a second time under the same circumstances.
Uranus said calmly, "No need to enter. I believe you have suddenly gained enlightenment and accelerated your growth."
"Okay, continue your own reflections. I'm leaving now."
After saying this, Uranus disappeared.
At this moment, Gaia looked at the deep pit under his feet, his expression did not change, but he felt slightly relieved in his heart.
At this moment, the Tree of Life was wrapped in the Ball of Nothingness and was located to the side of the lower center of the deep pit.
If Uranus really enters, he will most likely be able to sense it when he is close to the Tree of Life.
When that time comes, she can only take the initiative to attack Uranus.
Uranus is deep in the earth, so this is naturally her greatest chance of defeating Uranus.
However, when the war really started, she was not confident of winning.
Gaia doesn't want to fight if she can avoid it.
After all, in the real first battle in the Chaos world, she was defeated by Uranus.
She still didn't want to take the risk and fight Uranus alone.
> Fortunately, Uranus is not as aggressive as he used to be.
Instead, he was extremely cautious and did not choose to enter.
As Gaia used the divine power of the earth, the collapsed soil and rocks quickly reorganized.
Soon the earth returned to its original state, Mount Othreus was reconstructed, and the various temples were rebuilt and restored.
Gaia returned to the hall, and naturally sensed the presence of a "foreign object" in the bottle of life.

Chapter 142: Ouranos: My children, will you betray me?
Gaia's eyes flashed with contempt: "Uranus, without a companion artifact, how can you understand the power of a companion artifact?"
"He wants to use his divine sense to secretly sense my movements. This divine sense happens to be very important to me."
Gaia's mind-controlled artifact, the particles of the sky's divine consciousness hidden in the bottle of life.
It is wrapped in beads formed by a flow of liquid from the fountain of life in the bottle of life.
Uranus's divine consciousness could sense Gaia's existence, but it was not real. It was a false divine power fluctuation created by Gaia.
In a flash, Gaia appeared deep in the earth, and the Tree of Life approached.
At this moment, the divine consciousness hidden in the bottle of life could not perceive the situation here at all.
Instead, he could still sense the calm fluctuations of Gaia's divine power.
"Grow quickly! Tree of Life, bear fruit quickly, so that my children can quickly reach peak divine power!"
"We must defeat Uranus! I want to regain control of the sky, the earth, and the ocean!" Gaia's eyes showed determination and hope.
At this time, Uranus had just returned to his original body in the sky, and soon the light column in the sky flew into the ocean.
Uranus came to the hall where the two children of the sea god lived.
The sea goddess Thesis was originally in her own palace, contemplating the ocean.
Suddenly I sensed Uranus, the god of the sky.
She opened her eyes and transformed into ocean water. In an instant, she appeared in the hall of Oceanus, the god of the ocean and river.
Thesis was a little nervous and contacted Oceanus with his mind: "Uranus has never contacted us on his own initiative, so why is he suddenly contacting us now? What should we do?"
Oceanus, the god of the ocean and rivers, remained calm and replied to Thesis with his divine thoughts: "Don't be afraid, Thesis. If Uranus really wants to harm us,
"He can directly control the sky body to target the ocean instead of his divine body arriving."
"After all, although our strength is far inferior to his, we can pass through the bottom of the ocean and enter the underworld at any time."
"This means that he most likely doesn't intend to embarrass us, but rather has something to ask us."
"My two children, your father has arrived, why don't you come out to greet him?" At this time, the voice of Uranus was heard in the hall.
The two sea gods flew out of the hall at the same time.
"Welcome, Your Majesty, the great God-King, to the Temple of Poseidon where Tethys and I live." Oceanus said respectfully.
Thesis then said respectfully, "It is a pleasure to meet you, Your Majesty the Great God-King."
Uranus showed a satisfied expression, looked at the two children of the sea god, and spoke calmly.
"Okeanos, Tethys, of my ten children, I gave you the most ocean territory."
"You were born first, and you are my most beloved children. So I came to you today to ask you something."
Oceanus said, "Father, please speak. Tethys and I are listening carefully."
Uranus looked the two sea gods in the eye and said seriously, "Today I suddenly feel an inexplicable sense of crisis. Will you betray me?"
betray?
These words made Tesis's heart beat faster.
What counts as betrayal?
She has always wanted to leave the earth and enter the underworld.
She chose to stay away from Uranus and go with Tartarus.
This would be considered a betrayal of Uranus.
Did he find out?
However, Thesis' heartbeat just quickened and he was about to look at Oceanus.
Oceanus's divine words were first transmitted to Thesis's mind.
"Tesis, don't look at me, control your heartbeat, don't let your imagination run wild, just say what I say."
That is, just as Uranus finished speaking, Oceanus contacted Thesis through his divine mind.
He looked at Uranus without hesitation, his expression becoming serious as he said, "Father, I will not betray you."
"You have given Thesis and me far more water than ever before. We will never betray you."
Reminded in time by Oceanus, Thesis quickly controlled his heartbeat and emotions.
Then, she said seriously, "Father God, I will never betray you. I am the most loyal to you."
"Really?" Uranus asked again with a playful smile.

Oceanus and Tethys nodded solemnly at the same time: "Yes, Father."
Uranus gave a smile that he thought was kind, but in the eyes of the two sea gods, it was rather cruel.

"Who do you think will betray me?"
Oceanus said, "Father, Thesis and I control the power of the sea, not the power to understand the thoughts of the gods."
"So, we cannot know the thoughts of other gods."
"But I can honestly assure you that I am absolutely loyal to you.
"As for the Mother Goddess or my brothers and sisters, I'm not sure what they think."
Thesis then said, "Father, I know the ocean best, but I cannot fathom the hearts of the gods."
"Okeanos and I usually live in the ocean and rarely come into contact with them. We don't know anything about them."
"Guess who will betray me?" Uranus asked again.
Oceanus said in bewilderment, "Thesis and I have had very little contact with them and don't know them well. It's impossible for us to guess."
Tethys also said: "Yes, this is impossible to guess."
"That's right." Uranus nodded slightly.
He didn't say anything else, just looked at the two children of the sea god quietly.
Just over a minute passed peacefully.
Uranus smiled slightly and said casually, "I clearly feel your loyalty to me, and I am very happy."
After saying this, his divine body flew out of the ocean.
Return to the temple again.
Until his divine consciousness could no longer sense Uranus, Thesis breathed a sigh of relief.
Her divine thoughts contacted Oceanus: "Uranus is terrifying. It makes me feel a little short of breath."
"If he had sensed what I was thinking just now, I would be completely finished."
Oceanus's mind responded: "Thesis, don't be so nervous. Uranus does not have the divine authority to see through our thoughts."
"If anyone in this Chaos world can see through the minds of the gods, it's most likely Tartarus."
"Besides, as long as we don't leave the ocean, even if Uranus suddenly harms us."
"Control the Sky Body to get close to the ocean, then we can still join forces and quickly enter the underworld."
"You don't have to be too afraid of Uranus."
"Besides, we have gained the most right now, so there is really no need to betray him and leave the underworld."
"If we don't have that thought, then we don't have to worry about anything else. We just need to do nothing, and that's the right thing to do."
Thesis nodded: "Indeed, if Uranus is really against us, we can leave safely."
"It would be great if there were no obstructions. I still want to visit the underworld."
"Mnemosyne sent back memories of the birth of seven new Seraphim gods, as well as dragon gods. I want to see them all."
Kronos, the god of space, obtained a quarter of the sky.
However, he never lived in the sky.
Even four aerial gods.
Originally, only Hyperion, the sun god, lived in the sun, but now he is gone.
Koeus, the god of the celestial bodies, lived in a celestial body floating on the ocean.
Kronos built his temple in the land of the earth, which was controlled by Rhea, the goddess of the passage of time.
The temples of the gods of time and space are adjacent to each other.
After leaving the ocean, Uranus did not return to his original form in the sky.
Soon, he came to Rhea's territory again.
<
In Rhea's hall.
Kronos took a step out from the crack in space.
He looked at Rhea and sent a message through his mind: "There is a special spatial fluctuation in your territory. Uranus is coming."
Rhea was surprised!
