Chapter 308: News of the Beast of Fire? The Primordial Divine Flame at the Birth of the Mythical World!

What else can be said? The Crown of the God-King feels utterly helpless.

What could it do?

The Crown of the God-King lacks intelligence and consciousness; it's merely a symbolic artifact representing the throne of the God-King. It's like the imperial seal or the queen's scepter—objects of similar significance.

Fortunately, the Crown of the God-King truly lacks awareness. Otherwise, if it had any, it would probably die of frustration on the spot! The situation is just too aggravating!

Uranus didn't need it.

Cronus didn't need it.

Fine, fine, fine! 

Now, finally, with the third generation of the God-King, a Holy War has started, and yet, the victor doesn't even care about it. What is going on here? What exactly do you all want to do?

All that can be said is that this is truly maddening! Of course, this is all based on the assumption that the Crown of the God-King had some awareness. Its resistance is purely instinctual because it is in the hands of someone who is not the God-King.

Hestia looked at the Crown of the God-King, now a bracelet on her wrist, and shook her head with a cheerful smile.

Then, Hestia's smile faded, and she grew serious, saying, "Brother, the plans involving destruction and the gods of death are already in place. Adding the fate brought by the end of the world, theoretically, there shouldn't be any issues."

Hades nodded calmly and said, "Very good."

The feedback from the World Tree's root system had a significant effect, and Hades acknowledged that. The birth of each God-King and the establishment of new affiliated underworlds would greatly strengthen the Underworld, and strengthening the Underworld, in turn, would benefit the World Tree.

This was extremely important.

However, Hades also remarked with some resignation, "For the Underworld, this feedback and improvement are beneficial, but the gains are nowhere near as significant as perfecting the elements of earth, water, fire, and wind."

Hades sighed, feeling a bit helpless. The reason was simple—he knew that the best way to continue elevating the World Tree was to complete the elements of earth, water, fire, and wind. Once these were perfected, he would truly step into the realm of the Ancient Gods and manifest his Ultimate Power.

Only then would the Underworld's advancement reach its full potential.

However, finding God-King-level elemental beasts representing earth, water, fire, and wind was no easy task!

The Earth Serpent, the Black Sea Whale, and the Wind Beast he had in mind were already extremely difficult to deal with. As for the final fire element, it was the trickiest of all because there was no information about it whatsoever, which was the most frustrating and headache-inducing part!

No matter how difficult it might be, acquiring them was possible. That was certain. 

Hades was only missing one last piece of the World Chain, and while it was theoretically impossible to obtain, Hades was confident in his ability to secure it because he was well-prepared. That was the core of his confidence.

But the problem was, despite his preparation, he couldn't even locate the beast representing fire, and that was the most troubling part!

Of course, finding a fire elemental beast wasn't hard—the real challenge was finding one at the level of a God-King. That was the true difficulty.

The God-King level!

Although Hades could elevate many of his underworld gods to the rank of God-King through his schemes, it wasn't an easy task by any means.

As for naturally born God-King-level beasts, particularly one representing fire, it was nearly impossible to find one. Theoretically, it might not even exist! 

This was the real issue, and it gave Hades many headaches. He had to think through all of these problems carefully.

If he randomly chose any elemental beast to complete earth, water, fire, and wind, Hades could reach the limits of the God-King level. But this would not break the boundaries of the God-King level, nor allow him to truly ascend to the rank of an Ancient God.

However, if he couldn't reach the level of an Ancient God, then breaking through those limits would be ultimately meaningless.

Hestia pondered for a moment and said, "Brother, I have an idea I want to share, but I'm not sure if it's reliable. Even the *Book of Eternity* is vague about it."

Hades thought for a moment and said calmly, "Sister, just say it. Even if there's the slightest chance, it's worth pursuing."

"Hahaha~~~" 

Hestia blinked playfully before becoming serious and saying, "This matter actually goes back to the beginning of the Mythical World's creation. When a Mythical World is born, it goes through several steps: the separation of sky and earth, the creation of the Pillars of Heaven, the birth of the four elements—earth, water, fire, and wind—and finally, the emergence of the realms: Heaven, Earth, Sea, Underworld, and Stars."

Hades nodded.

Indeed.

These were the four steps of a Mythical World's birth, and although the Underworld had encountered some minor issues, the process remained the same.

This sequence was crucial.

Hestia continued seriously, "And, actually, after these steps, there should be a sixth step, which is the birth of the Sun and Moon. Only after their creation does everything truly begin."

Hades agreed. He knew that this so-called sixth step was not particularly significant; it was more like the final touch.

This wasn't a serious issue, and Hades had never really paid attention to it.

But Hestia added, "According to the records in the *Book of Eternity*, when the Sun was first born, a primordial divine flame came into existence. This flame was incredibly special. Theoretically, this flame wasn't extinguished or taken away."

"So…"

"After such a long time, this primordial solar flame could have very well developed into a living being, a God-King-level creature. This is without a doubt!"
