Chapter 1 The God of the Abyss, Unable to Achieve Deification? 25
In the primordial chaos, before the world was created, there was no sky, no earth, no sea, no stars. 1
Darkness, light, time, origin, laws… all were entangled in chaos, an undefined primordial state.
In an unknown time, as the chaos gradually cleared, Chaos, the God of Chaos, was born.
Born alone, boundless and limitless, he was the vessel of darkness and light, the vessel of time, space, and order, chaos itself, the world itself.
Chaos, the beginning of the world, the beginning of the universe, the beginning of all gods. 4
All things, time and space, darkness and light, the beginning of everything, began here…
In an unknown time, in the world of Chaos, from chaos a massive earth was born.
The first primordial god of the world of Chaos, the Earth Goddess Gaia, was born! 1
At this time, there was no sky or sea, no light or darkness, no time or life.
Besides the earth growing larger, the surroundings were shrouded in chaos.
Soon, in the Chaos world, within the chaos, at the very bottom of the earth, a deep, dark abyss of hell was born.
The second primordial god of the Chaos world, Tartarus, the god of the abyss, was born! 6
At this time, the Chaos world consisted only of the earth, the abyss, and boundless chaos.
There was still no sky or sea, no light or darkness, no concept of life, no concept of time, and so on.
The earth was growing larger, the abyss was growing larger, Chaos was changing…
"Where is this?"
"Where…am I?" 2
"I…am…Tartarus? The abyss itself! The god of the abyss! The Chaos world!" 10
He had transmigrated, but the simple memories flooding his mind left Tartarus momentarily stunned.
"The world of Chaos...it feels familiar...it's...the world of ancient Greek mythology!"
"I understand, I've transmigrated into the world of Chaos, becoming Tartarus, one of the five primordial gods, the second god of the abyss to be born!"
Accepting reality, Tartarus quickly sensed himself.
The abyss was vast and immeasurable.
He was now the abyss itself, easily perceiving anything that happened within it.
He could also clearly feel that he, as the abyss, was formed from countless extremely unstable, violent, and chaotic sources, fused and condensed.
This chaos wasn't mere primordial chaos, but rather filled with various negative aspects: destruction, death, annihilation, explosion, annihilation, decay, ruin, calamity, suffering...
Countless unstable, chaotic, and violent sources fused to give birth to the stable existence of the "Abyss," forcing him to marvel at Chaos's wondrous creative power.
Continuing to explore, continuing to sense, Tartarus vaguely sensed...
Compared to the abyss, the land above it was a stark contrast, exuding peace and stability.
The abyss was like a fusion of countless destructive substances, containing a terrifying power capable of annihilating the world and everything.
The land, on the other hand, was like a fusion of countless living substances, containing boundless vitality and limitless life force.
At the same time, Tartarus was astonished to discover that the abyss and the land were now perfectly aligned.
This world, apart from the land and the abyss, was a boundless state of chaos.
There was no darkness separating them; he could clearly sense that he and the land were of the same size, as if they were one.
However, their origins were clearly opposite, like the black and white, yin and yang, life and death of the yin and yang symbol.
The land represented life; the abyss represented death.
Seemingly one, yet not one.
As Tartarus intently sensed the earth's connection to the Abyss, a holy light shone between the earth and the abyss, and a figure appeared.
It was a blonde girl, beautiful and noble.
A long, sheer white dress couldn't conceal her tall, perfect figure; her smooth, milky-white skin, flowing beneath the fabric, glowed with a faint white light.
In this world, there was no temperature, no awareness of hot or cold, but seeing the girl between the abyss and the earth, Tartarus felt a gentle warmth.
The turbulent, raging abyss, at this moment, became peaceful.
"I am Gaia, the Goddess of the Earth. Thank you, Chaos, for your birth, I will no longer be alone. May I know your name?"
"This is Gaia? She exudes youthful energy, giving off a warm feeling." Tartarus was slightly surprised.
He wasn't surprised by Gaia's sudden appearance.
This world consists only of the abyss and the earth; his birth and the appearance of the other are normal.
What surprised him more was Gaia's current appearance.
In his previous life, most of the Greek mythology he knew revolved around the era of Zeus, the third generation of gods.
Gaia, the Earth Mother, rarely appeared, and she was never depicted as a young girl.
"Time changes everything, changes the world, and changes even the immortal, eternally living gods," Tartarus thought to himself.
His thoughts echoed in a deep, resonant male voice throughout the abyss.
"Hello, Gaia, Goddess of the Earth, I am Tartarus, Goddess of the Abyss. I am so glad to have met such a beautiful you at the time of my birth."15
"Your appearance has brought peace to the chaotic abyss and brought clarity to my confused self."
The beautiful Goddess of the Earth, Gaia, smiled gently: "Chaos gave birth to me, the earth, first, and then to you, the abyss. From now on, I am your elder sister."4
Tartarus replied: "Yes, my elder sister. When I was first born, I was full of curiosity about everything..." "I'm so sorry, I didn't ask your permission to perceive the beauty of the earth."
Gaia, the Earth Goddess, said, "I understand. When I was first born, I was also full of curiosity about everything, and I went to perceive the wonders of the Chaos world. I'm also sorry, I came to the Abyss without your permission."
"Because of your birth, I was filled with curiosity and wanted to see the second god of the Chaos world as soon as possible. My brother, may I see what you look like in your divine form?"
Looking at the beautiful girl Gaia, Tartarus realized something.
Gaia, as the earth, was currently in the form of a girl. She had already become a god, possessing a humanoid divine body.
Using his knowledge from his previous life, he, as the earth, had successfully transformed, possessing a divine body capable of free movement.
As for himself, as the abyss, he was currently still the original abyssal body, not yet a god (transformed)!
"How do I become a god?" Tartarus quickly recalled some extra memories he had gained since coming to this world.
Chaos World, the Abyss's true form, the God of the Abyss, deification, divine body…
These simple pieces of information were memories that naturally appeared in his mind upon arriving in this world.
Shortly after his birth, before he had fully digested these memories, he encountered Gaia, the Goddess of the Earth.
In a flash, Tartarus realized that he was currently unable to deify.
As for the reason, he had no memory of that.
"As the Abyss itself, my body contains various terrifying and chaotic origins, possessing immense divine power. But I cannot deify like Gaia right now?"
Tartarus was perplexed.
What to do?
