Chapter 577 - 493: Hiris, Don’t Do Anything (Two in One)
It wasn’t only the Dream God Laren who was taking action.
In fact, almost the entire Country of Divines was mobilizing to face the arrival of the new era.
Like birds scattering in the face of disaster, deities of different factions each had their own demands. They transmitted divine edicts, declared revelations, all to realize their own conceptions.
In the Golden Hall, there seemed to be an unspoken consensus—that whichever faction succeeded first, the rest of the gods would submit without complaint.
Each Divine stood at this crossroads, and the creator of dwarves and giants, Hiris, was no exception.
However, Hiris, like many Divine beings, hesitated at the crossroads, never taking the step forward.
He expressed his hidden worries to the Death God,
"Nakbet, you don’t know how much I envy you. Your Netherworld stands above the Celestial Kingdom, not upon the earth, almost free from facing the torrent of the era. No matter how the outside world changes, your kingdom always remains the same."
Nakbet replied:
"I am glad that I am the Death God, and also glad that I did not create a race like you, thus sparing myself the trouble and toil."
Hiris said:
"Don’t say that. Over the years, I have listened to them sing my praises. I have watched them establish their own great enterprises, from a small tribe growing into several kingdoms. This joy is incomparable to countless other things."
