After this brief contact and separation, the two deities nodded to each other, and Zeus turned and left directly without any hesitation.
He lacked nothing now!
The fire in his heart no longer needed to be suppressed!
Now he was burning with urgency to return to Olympus and devour wisdom!
Just after Zeus left, this most perfect goddess—Dione—slowly half-removed her upper robe woven from pure ocean water and sky-colored clouds.
Most of her supremely perfect, flawless divine upper body was thus revealed.
That perfect form and skin, trembling slightly, instantly exposed endless intoxicating spring radiance that made the entire world pale in comparison in just an instant.
At her flawless heart, there was an indescribably wonderful seven-colored warm light.
That was a "child."
It was precisely the contact and fusion of "supreme yin" and "supreme yang"—the overly emotional part of spirituality, after being harmonized by the God-King's sublime rationality, rapidly conceived and formed at an unimaginable speed.
In just a few breaths, this flawless, incomparable goddess slowly raised her jade-like, purely perfect left arm.
Then, an infinitely beautiful sacred radiance composed of myriad colorful lights "emerged" from beneath her left ribs.
After the most perfect fusion of the essences of "supreme yin" and "supreme yang," the embodiment of "love" and "beauty"—that supreme deity representing "supremely good beauty," "perfect elegance," "pure romantic love," "passionate romance," "bodily pleasure," and symbolizing all concepts of "love" and "beauty"—finally appeared in the universe.
She controlled all forms of love.
She was the most direct embodiment of "desire," "passion," and "romantic love."
She also possessed the powerful force of "fertility" and "reproduction."
Her very existence promoted the continuation of life and endless vitality throughout the universe.
She was one of the most fundamental driving forces for this entire universe's evolution and survival.
She was the goddess of love and beauty—Aphrodite!
Goddess Dione elegantly and composedly dressed herself, and during this brief time of arranging her clothing, the supremely beautiful goddess who had originally been just an infant grew rapidly at a visible speed into a divine adult.
Finally, she became a graceful young goddess full of overflowing youth and life's vitality.
The supreme goddess reached toward the sky, casually extending her hand skyward.
A brilliant cloud gently descended from the horizon, cut down by her casual gesture and transformed into a misty gauze dress that lightly covered her daughter's newborn flawless delicate body—the embodiment of "perfection."
The moment Aphrodite completely matured into a young goddess, Dione, who had just earned the title "most beautiful in the universe," was no longer unique after enjoying this distinction for only this brief time.
From then on, Aphrodite joined her mother goddess as one of the two parallel most beautiful goddesses in the universe.
The perfect goddess of love and beauty, carrying that pure filial affection from her essence, threw herself into her mother goddess's embrace.
The two perfect goddesses embracing presented the most beautiful scene in the entire universe, with natural magnificent phenomena quietly manifesting around them.
The pure ocean water that could evolve all matter gently swirled around them, brilliant colorful lights mysteriously appeared in the air, reflecting on their delicate bodies and adding another garment woven from light and rainbows.
This scene was beautiful enough to make the universe stop and marvel in fascination.
The Ocean God couple, arriving late, watched this scene in utter shock.
No matter how well-traveled and ancient in knowledge they were, they were now shocked speechless.
The goddess nestled in the other goddess's arms was manageable—though devastatingly beautiful, they could still understand her essence.
But the goddess carrying the ocean's aura was truly incomprehensible to them.
The ocean had nurtured such a perfect goddess without their knowledge!
Moreover, though clearly a goddess born from the ocean, they couldn't detect her essence—this was incredible!
In principle, even if the ocean nurtured a great god equal to them, it couldn't escape their perception.
Yet they only knew of her existence after this goddess was completely born.
Although unable to detect her essence, the couple could clearly sense that this goddess was incomparably powerful and perfect.
All beings born from the ocean were their children, with them as parents.
But though this goddess restrained her divine might, they felt deep fear and awe from their divine essence, even higher-level longing and anticipation.
This made the Ocean God couple doubt their divine lives—who was nurturing whom?
They didn't understand the deep underlying causes, but they clearly knew this goddess couldn't possibly be a child they could have nurtured.
Though she was indeed born from the ocean's essence, there must be some deeper, more fundamental reason.
Goddess Dione, with her daughter, gracefully stepped forward. The ocean's pure source water obediently parted and flowed with her steps, as if facing Ocean God Oceanus himself.
Even when the two goddesses reached the Ocean God couple, they still hadn't recovered from their enormous shock.
Dione showed an incomparably gentle smile. Just that instant of beauty was like the first glimmer of "consciousness" born when the universe first opened from chaos.
Even Ocean God Oceanus felt divine confusion in that moment.
Even Tethys, herself a goddess accustomed to countless beauties, couldn't help sinking into this indescribable beauty.
Indescribably pleasant words, even difficult to construct in imagination, slowly flowed from her vermillion lips: "Father god, mother god, I finally meet you."
This call finally brought the Ocean God couple back to their senses. Wise and resilient Tethys couldn't help opening her mouth but didn't know what to say, finally stammering: "You..."
The perfect goddess smiled gently again, saying softly: "Mother god, my name is Dione. Daughter of the Ocean."
Just hearing this name, Oceanus and Tethys were again shocked to divine dizziness, unable to say a word.
But this wasn't the end.
Dione looked at her daughter beside her, Aphrodite, who appeared serene and well-behaved.
She continued speaking to the two ancient great gods shocked into seeming petrification: "This is my daughter, goddess of love and beauty—Aphrodite."
She paused briefly, then said gently: "She is my daughter with God-King Zeus."
Even the primordial Titan, wise goddess Tethys who nourished all things, couldn't control widening her eyes, falling into extreme shock again.
Ocean God Oceanus was the same, staring wide-eyed beside her, even uncontrollably swallowing.
They considered themselves well-informed, but everything happening before them still made them wonder if they were dreaming.
Dione gently waited for them to recover. After a very long time, the two primordial Titans looked at each other, both seeing immense shock in the other's eyes.
Oceanus finally nodded heavily, slowly saying in a deep voice: "My... daughter, welcome to your birth. Having you as our daughter is the supreme honor for us as a couple."
"Please follow us back to our homeland. The ocean will always be your home!"
Dione gracefully bowed in thanks: "Thank you, father god. The ocean is forever my homeland."
The Ocean God couple, in an almost "respectful" manner, led these two newborn goddesses back to the magnificent Ocean Palace.
Immediately upon returning, they announced to all deities of the entire ocean god system: the Ocean had nurtured a new perfect goddess!
This goddess would have equal status and honor with them in the ocean!
All ocean gods must respect her as they respected them, and obey all her commands as they obeyed theirs!
The ocean gods were in uproar, all extremely shocked.
But the Ocean God couple announced this with utmost seriousness and gravity. Though the ocean gods didn't understand, they completely complied.
The Ocean God held absolute authority in the ocean, and the ocean family atmosphere was very friendly and intimate. Even facing the Ocean God's incomprehensible commands, his children chose to obey.
But this incredibly shocking news also spread throughout the entire universe at the fastest speed.
This news shook all gods in the universe!
From the boundless ocean depths, a new goddess of incomparably noble bloodline and perfect divinity was born!
This goddess was proclaimed by Ocean Lord Oceanus and Mother of All Streams Tethys with the most solemn and serious attitude to have supreme status—she would be equivalent to the Ocean God couple themselves, possessing all their honors and powers!
Moreover! Even more astonishing!
This mysterious goddess had already joined with great God-King Zeus to nurture an equally perfect and flawless newborn goddess!
A goddess personally called "most beautiful in the universe" by the Ocean God!
And she was the first child born into this world by the great His Majesty the God-King!
Goddess of love and beauty—Aphrodite!
