Chapter 27 Inner World
"It looks like your kingdom of God has been completed. Although it is a little small, its scale is still that of a Lord God. It just needs time to settle!"
Zagreus summoned the seed's godhood from his body and asked in confusion, "My original priesthood was the god of fruit, and the seed's godhood belonged to my mother. He stripped the seed's godhood to save me. Now that I've been resurrected, I think I should return it to my mother."
The seed was the original priesthood that accompanied Persephone, and Zagreus didn't know whether taking it away would cause any harm to Persephone.
Hades glanced at the seed in his hand, then at Persephone, and when he saw her nod, he said, "It's okay. This is what your mother gave you. She can give up this godhood to save your life."
Zagros' heart warmed. To be honest, Persephone, the Queen of the Underworld, had been taking care of him ever since he gained wisdom. Even though Hades thought he was in the way and tried to "send him away" many times, it did not hinder his kindness towards him.
Although Zeus is the source of his blood, perhaps related to his divine power, his love is too scattered and too heavy, and he prefers the atmosphere of the underworld.
Zagreus glanced at the seed godhood. When he used it before, he found that part of the control was in the hands of his grandmother, the goddess of fertility. Now with the permission of Persephone, the seed priesthood was completely integrated into his theocratic system.
"Alas, it's a pity that my fruit priesthood has withered, otherwise, with the authority of the seeds, I should be able to become a new godhood." Zagros only behaved like a child in front of Persephone, and said with some regret in front of the two of them.
Persephone raised the corner of her mouth and chuckled. She stretched out her finger and flicked it lightly. A black underworld energy floated out like smoke and hit Zagros' forehead accurately.
The blow was not heavy, but it was enough to stop Zagreus from complaining. He touched the place where he was hit and muttered, "Ouch, be gentle!"
Persephone glared at him and said, "Don't be so ungrateful. Haven't you discovered the connection between the Seed Authority and the Underworld?"
Zagros grinned. Indeed, he had noticed this strange phenomenon as early as when he first stepped into the underworld. Originally, the seed was the authority of the divine realm, but in the underworld it was still active.
The seeds always grow quietly in the darkness, then bloom into flowers. When the fruits are ripe, they will merge back into the earth, as if completing a cycle of life.
This process is very similar to the reincarnation of the soul. Both are born from nothingness, grow for a period of time, and finally return to the starting point.
If it weren't for him, even if he possessed both the priesthood of the underworld and the divine realm, he would not have been able to discover this. As long as he walked out of the underworld, it would symbolize that the seed would break through the ground.
He had a premonition that he would regain the authority of the fruit, and even the two authorities of seed and fruit could complement each other and condense a higher level of divine power.
Hades interrupted their interaction at the right time: "Since Zeus has opened up the kingdom of God for you, I can't be stingy. This is the seed of the underworld. You put it in the kingdom of God, and I will open your underworld for you."
After saying that, Hades took out a piece of debris that exuded a pure breath of death, and the surrounding space immediately became distorted. Zagreus' eyes lit up. This was a corner of the origin of the underworld. No one except Hades could mobilize it, and only Hades was willing. If other gods even touched it, Hades would hang them up and beat them. Even if Zeus dared to reach out, Hades would give him a big slap.
"Why are you still standing there!"
"Oh! Oh!" Zagros also reacted and immediately opened his kingdom of God. Seeing this, Hades directly threw the ball of origin in.
As soon as the origin of the underworld entered this world, it fell directly into the earth and quickly drilled deep into the underground.
Originally, Zagreus thought that this ball of origin would open up a new space under the earth, but unexpectedly, this ball of origin was contaminated with the authority bestowed by his seed, and began to become a seed taking root inside the earth, and began to thrive with the blessing of Hades' external divine power.
However, unlike ordinary plants, all the laws of the underworld turned into thick roots that stretched and spread endlessly downwards. They passed through layers of soil and rocks at an astonishing speed, as if there was no end. Before long, these roots reached the bottom of the world.
When Zagreus thought this was the end, a shocking scene occurred. Those roots that seemed to have reached their limit suddenly broke through the shackles of the edge of the world! They were like new shoots, directly penetrating the barriers of the world, and then continued to grow wildly at a speed beyond imagination.
These sprouts seem to possess endless power. They effortlessly push aside the hard barriers of the world and grow towards unknown areas.
At this moment, the whole world seemed to be shaken by a powerful force and trembled violently. As the roots created by the laws of the underworld continued to penetrate the barriers of the world, they were like opening up a channel, and an endless supply of underworld energy poured in from the outside like a torrent.
At the same time, a plane opposite to the previous world expanded at an alarming speed. This mysterious world was no different from the previous divine realm, but it seemed to be the opposite of the world, and it was filled with the unique laws of the underworld. The sun that originally hung high in the sky became extremely strange here. It no longer emitted a blazing light, but instead released a cold and piercing underworld air, shrouding the entire inner world in darkness.
