"Under the tyrannical rule of the former God-King Kronos, you were ruthlessly devoured, plunged into darkness and despair."
"But now, within my new order, you shall regain the honor you deserve, and obtain authority and glory far exceeding the past!"
He looked toward Hades and Poseidon, speaking with majesty yet intimacy: "My beloved brothers, my unwavering comrades, my closest kin! I shall share with you the supreme glory of the universe, letting your radiance shine alongside mine, immortal for eternity!"
Zeus slowly raised his gaze, looking toward the entire world: "From this day forth, the world shall be clearly divided into three realms and three domains."
"The three realms are the Divine Realm (sky), the Terrestrial Realm (earth), and the Underworld Realm (underworld); the three domains are the land, the sea, and the ocean."
"From this day forth, the three realms and three domains shall be distinct throughout the universe, each fulfilling their duties and wielding their respective powers."
Zeus first turned his gaze to Gaia, the Mother of All Things, his voice filled with sincere respect and unwavering commitment: "The earth shall forever be the Mother Goddess's domain, which no god may usurp!"
Then, he looked toward Oceanus, the Ocean God, speaking sincerely: "Respected Ocean Current, I remember in my heart the contributions you have made for me. My promise shall certainly be fulfilled!"
Just as Zeus's words fell, the originally clear and pristine sky suddenly began to change dramatically.
Endless dark clouds surged from all directions like black torrents, rapidly accumulating together, shrouding the entire vast world's dome. All light in the world was devoured, becoming dim and heavy.
Endless terrible thunder began roaring in the depths of the clouds, once again shaking the entire universe. The absolute divine might made the whole world tremble with fear.
Blinding lightning flashed wildly in the dark clouds. Each flash clearly illuminated the contours of the entire world, and also lit up the shocked and awed faces of the gods in the hall.
The gods were still contemplating what these three realms and three domains Zeus spoke of actually meant, and before they could react, they saw Zeus pull this stunt, their eyes filled with shock and confusion!
Even terror!
Weren't we supposed to divide the cake?!
How did you suddenly bring out such terrifying thunder?!!!
You're not asking everyone to eat this, are you?!
All beings in the universe now felt the overwhelming supreme divine might.
They didn't even consider fleeing, but all assumed the most submissive and devout postures, facing toward Mount Olympus, worshiping this supreme thunderous power.
Preparing to accept the fate that Zeus, the Thunder Sovereign, was about to bestow upon them.
Whether good or bad.
Everything must follow Zeus's will, follow the destiny and future Zeus grants.
This extremely terrifying power had even directly affected the normal operation of the universe. All the laws of the universe now slowed their rotation under the thunder's pressure, becoming stagnant.
Everything that once seemed immensely powerful became so insignificant and fragile before this endless thunder.
Many gods, watching this apocalyptic scene, could not control their perfect and mighty divine bodies from breaking out in cold sweat, trembling violently, and their divinity at the depths of their laws trembled uncontrollably.
Even though they were eternally immortal deities, even though their bodies were untainted by dust and flawlessly perfect, they still could not control the various chaotic phenomena appearing.
Because they feared from the bottom of their hearts.
Because they had personally witnessed how this thunderous power nearly completely destroyed the entire world, nearly reducing it back to chaos.
Because they had personally seen how the once invincible God-King Kronos, who boasted of his invincibility, was forcibly cast into the endless abyss by this truly invincible thunder.
This grand display, frightening the gods into shock and trembling, was Zeus's intention.
He wanted to constantly and clearly tell the gods: I am such an invincible existence, my power can easily change everything!
So don't push your luck with me!
Don't think of challenging my divine might!
I, Zeus, have already given everyone sufficient dignity and glory, so everyone must accept it and cherish this dignity!
This way, everyone can be dignified!
Any deity who wants to make me, Zeus, undignified had better first take a good look at the thunder above and think clearly before making a decision!
Zeus sat just like this on the divine throne atop Mount Olympus, lightning flickering across his resolute expression, calm and composed.
He didn't even rise, merely moved his thoughts, and next, all the ether elements in the universe moved according to his will, converging into an incredible energy torrent that surged majestically toward the four corners of the world, beginning to sweep across the entire world.
Like a storm sweeping up sand and gravel, vast amounts of thunderous plasma poured down from the dark clouds along the edges of the world.
The power of creation and destruction coexisted, making all things in the world change color.
The pure water ocean currents adjacent to the world, under the baptism of this thunder, were all transformed by the creative power contained within the thunder.
Endless ether elements perfectly coordinated with the thunderous power, and under the pure water containing infinite energy, began a grand metamorphosis.
The rhythm of vitality and the breath of life began to appear from the edges of the earth. On the side adjacent to the earth, that originally supremely pure ocean water miraculously transformed into salty seawater.
The ocean was born!
Between the vast ocean currents and the world's continent, a vast sea capable of sustaining life and nurturing all things appeared, adding new dimensions and infinite possibilities to the world.
Zeus still felt it wasn't enough. His majestic body finally slowly rose.
With a mighty wave of his hand, more thunder, like countless roaring dragons, again rushed toward the edges of the ocean current, pointing directly toward where the void chaos intertwined with and had not been completely assimilated by the laws.
The void chaos that was originally entangled with the ocean current, being slowly and arduously transformed by the pure ocean water—that most terrifying chaotic void that could devour and erode everything.
Under Zeus's roaring thunder, they were all "shattered," their formless void bodies completely disintegrated.
Tartarus was rapidly repelled, the boundaries of true existence were forcibly pushed back, and the ocean current's flow became more rapid and magnificent, beginning to expand outward quickly at a speed countless times faster than before.
In merely an instant, before Zeus's absolute power, the entire world's diameter had already expanded by nearly double what the Ocean God had struggled to achieve through countless eons of painstaking effort.
The entire world, the entire universe, was nothing more than clay that could be reshaped at will in Zeus's hands.
This was the truly supreme sovereign who controlled everything—God-King Zeus!
Under the mighty bombardment of endless thunder, the newborn ocean and ancient ocean currents, accompanied by the thunder's descent, expanded outward together, unstoppable.
Until the newly opened ocean possessed nearly half the breadth of the earth, this invincible God-King finally slowly withdrew his omnipotent great thunder.
However, the heavy dark clouds still had not dispersed, densely shrouding the entire world, indicating that the new God-King's grand design was not yet completely finished.
Zeus then turned to Gaia, the Mother of All Things, calm and composed as if nothing had happened, as if the incredibly magnificent and great events just now were nothing at all.
He said indifferently: "Respected Mother of All Things, please split open the earth. I want to add another layer of space to the world to perfect the structure of the existing world."
Even Gaia, the Mother of All Things, now had no intention whatsoever of stopping Zeus's plans.
Even though she currently had no idea what Zeus actually wanted to do, and couldn't even fully perceive Zeus's intentions.
Even though she was unwilling to admit it, the instinctive trembling in the depths of her divinity could not be stopped.
She was indeed somewhat afraid.
The earth obediently split open with a thunderous crack, like an ancient scroll being torn in half, revealing the endless profound darkness beneath.
A satisfied smile appeared on Zeus's majestic face as he nodded gently to Gaia: "Thank you for your support."
Speaking thus, his towering figure instantly transformed into countless thunderbolts, carrying incomparable energy, and plunged thunderously into the split earth's abyss.
In the endless darkness underground, an incomparably towering giant thunder god appeared, his golden eyes like two burning massive stars.
The invincible God-King once again hurled his invincible thunderous lightning, illuminating every corner of the dark abyss!
The chaotic void, under the thunder's pressure, instinctively felt infinite fear and trembling. Tartarus continuously retreated rapidly, not daring to confront the God-King's incomparably powerful great thunder.
As the underground dark space rapidly expanded and extended, a blindingly bright lightning bolt, like the creation of heaven and earth, cut through the eternal darkness and broke the boundaries of space.
The pure water of the outermost ocean currents of the world and sea was now drawn over by Zeus with supreme divine power, like the Milky Way hanging upside down, pouring down and flowing into that newborn underground space.
The pure material energy of the ocean current combined with the profound darkness. The originally formless and substanceless darkness, under the tempering of thunder and nourishment of pure water, began to truly take shape and gain the framework of material existence, no longer being complete void.
Thus, a completely new world as vast as the earth appeared.
The Underworld Realm was born.
It was opened in the deep underground of the world, becoming the ultimate destination for living beings.
From this point, the world was completely perfected, its structure becoming flawlessly perfect.
The vertical structure from top to bottom was sky (Divine Realm), earth (Terrestrial Realm), and underworld (Underworld Realm); the radial structure in four directions was land, sea, and ocean.
All structures formed a trinity, becoming the three realms and three domains pattern that Zeus had spoken of. The entire world structure was now flawlessly perfect and extremely stable.
Moreover, the ocean current's method of expanding the world was also completely changed by Zeus with his great power.
Originally, the ocean current was directly connected to the world, continuously opening up the chaotic void and transforming it into matter, steadily expanding the world.
But now there was a newborn sea between the ocean current and the world, and Zeus would certainly not allow the matter transformed by the ocean current to continuously expand the sea.
