After the grand framework of the material world had been established, Heaven and Earth—still pressed closely together—symbols of the cosmos's core of spirituality and matter, began to merge more deeply, permeating and nourishing one another.
They began to evolve the world rapidly, to enlarge the material realm. They grew at a speed that transcended mortal concepts of time and space, each instant containing endless evolution.
Likewise, in this process, the great Lord of the Cosmos, instinctively and greedily, like a bottomless abyss, drew in and seized control over all cosmic laws and matter.
His will spread, soundless and traceless, into every corner of "existence."
Uranus, the great lord of spirituality, with his supreme authority, generously bestowed spirituality and consciousness upon Aether and Hemera, awakening them from pure embodiments of law.
Thereafter, He effortlessly took command of matter, of water, and of the omnipresent aether element that is one of the universe's core foundations.
He transformed the void-chaos that hovered between existence and nonexistence into the purest substance—a water of immaculate purity—by a divine power beyond comprehension.
And the great Sky-Father, the great Lord of the Cosmos, guided this vast, pristine, flawless water to circulate around the entire world of existence like a sacred ouroboros.
It both encircled and upheld the world, stabilizing it within the void, and without a moment's pause converted chaotic nothingness into real substance, nourishing the world to expand and grow.
The pure waters continually flowed back to the earth, turning the outermost and most void boundary of the material world into a real and vast land.
Thus the material world was able to expand without limit, its domain more spacious by the day, its depths ever farther—and never ceasing.
Tartarus, the primordial abyss that represents disorder and devouring, still twined about and wrapped the world of existence like a shadow, seeking to drag it back to chaos.
But no matter how He strove, He was continually driven back by the newborn, expanding world. The world's power grew stronger and stronger; its borders became broader and more weighty.
By this point, Tartarus's eternal power of devouring could no longer truly threaten this newborn world that was rapidly evolving and constantly growing.
Order easily triumphed over disorder.
The cosmos truly opened the epoch of "spirituality"!
Uranus, the great Lord of the Cosmos, still unrestrainedly increased His authority, and easily stripped away control over everything in the world of existence.
Whether it was Gaia, embodiment of matter, great Mother of All, creator of the world; or the embodiments of darkness, nether-gloom, and night, those two original and mighty primordial deities; or the newborn Aether, Daylight, Water, Earth, and every formed and formless thing in the universe—
All now could only rank beneath the great Sky-Father Uranus, heed His command, and submit like vassals.
The Lord of the Cosmos, Uranus, continued without pause to create and evolve the world, generously bestowing spirituality upon all new creations.
He did not care about this, for He held the bedrock of the cosmos; everything possessing spirituality fell under His sway.
The stronger the world, the stronger He became.
The lord of spirituality generously granted divine spirituality to the waters of the earth.
Thus the sacred great sea, the most primordial element, the father of all rivers that flow into the sea—Pontos (Greek: Πντο; Latin: Pontos; English: Pontus, meaning "billow")—finally awakened from the slumber of chaos, possessed an independent self-awareness, and became the first soul of the inland seas.
The Sky-Father of spirituality went on to bestow spirituality upon the endless mountain ranges—Ourea (Greek: Ορεα; English: Ourea)—and the lord of mountains arose with towering majesty.
The Lord of the Cosmos then, with incomparable generosity, bestowed spirituality upon His "new son"—the vast ocean current that encircled the entire world of existence and never ceased.
Thus the lord of the encircling ocean current, the father of all waters, the ultimate source of all rivers, springs, and lakes in the universe—Oceanus (Ancient Greek: κεαν; English: Oceanus; also transliterated in Chinese as 欧申纳斯)—awakened in the cosmos with a vast consciousness.
The authority of "water" was easily divided in two by the Sky-Father, clearly split into pure water (fresh water) and seawater (salt water).
As for Gaia, the great primordial goddess and Mother of Matter, her authority was continuously partitioned.
The world grew ever grander and more perfected, yet her authority became ever more dispersed; her rights and power were gradually diluted by Uranus.
Only now did all the gods finally realize a terrifying fact: Uranus could control everything that possessed spirit!
Whether formed or formless, no matter its nature, identity, law, or abstract concept—so long as it possessed the consciousness of "self-existence," then Uranus could grant or strip its spirituality at will.
The great Darkness and Night—those two supreme primordial gods—jointly engendered the laws Aether and Day. After they were endowed with spirituality and gained selves—
They instantly "lost" control of their children.
For Aether and Daylight, at the very moment they received consciousness, were completely and easily brought under Uranus's control, becoming His loyal slaves, unable ever again to resist.
Gaia, the equally supreme Mistress of Matter, likewise had her authority arbitrarily carved up and apportioned by Uranus.
But they had no power to resist, nor did they dare resist—unless they did not wish to possess a self.
What was even more frightening was that even if they dared to abandon the self, or if their selves were mercilessly extinguished by Uranus, lord of spirituality, the very concepts they represented could at any moment be endowed anew with fresh spirituality and consciousness.
This meant that so long as Uranus, lord of spirituality, so willed, sooner or later He could cultivate beings of wisdom who would obey Him utterly, no matter what the existence.
Aether's obedience was precisely because over an immeasurable span of time, his spirituality was extinguished and re-bestowed countless times.
Through countless changes, Uranus could always obtain the absolutely obedient.
This is the absolute authority of the King of the Cosmos, the lord of spirituality, who stands above all existence.
Absolute invincibility in the absolute sense, absolute control in the absolute sense.
The evolution of the world had fully entered its proper course, and its grand scroll grew ever more varied and resplendent.
Yet this majestic spectacle was still far from enough for that supreme being.
The great Sky-Father Uranus, whose divine hunger was like a bottomless abyss, still greedily craved boundless aggrandizement, seeking to grasp in His hands every authority in the universe.
He knew full well that the stronger the world became, the more unfathomable His own might would be.
He began, with a depth never before seen, to join more intimately with matter.
Heaven and Earth, spirituality and matter, intertwined invisibly, unceasingly undergoing violent collisions and evolutions of law.
Each touch of divinity triggered tremendous transformations in all existence.
Thus the high-order spiritual concepts of intelligence, inquiry, insight, and thought—the greatest divine sparks—blossomed one after another in the embrace of Heaven and Earth.
He was Coeus (Ancient Greek: Κοο; English: Coeus).
The "second son" of the holy Sky-Father and Earth-Mother.
