Myth: The Ruler of Spirituality

"Finally... even this last piece is now complete,"

The surface of the water was vast and waveless, and as Ra-Atum completely perished, Amon-Ra heaved a faint sigh.

Witnessing the Sun being torn asunder and then falling into the domain of the Outer Gods, a sense of inexplicable feeling stirred within him.

In an instant, the whole world began to tremble, to mourn. Waves rose upon the Primordial Waters as if bidding farewell to the Sun that had once risen from their depths.

Yet at the same moment, as the once familiar entity vanished without a trace, the unease in Amon-Ra's heart gradually dissipated, leaving behind a trace of relief.

The Outer Gods are, after all, Outer Gods, and no one can judge their actions. La couldn't guarantee that They would definitely destroy the Sun, but fortunately, They ultimately could not resist the temptation to devour the Sun and completely annihilated the Great Day of this world.

This was the most significant authority next to that of the Eight Primordial Spirits of Hemenu, now lost to the Alien Realm... But if the world was inevitably doomed, then whether it was lost or not was really just a matter of time.

La wasn't worried about this, nor concerned that the Outer Gods would gain significant strength from this.

On one hand, in the face of the complete Absolute Void, the addition of the Sun's power to his enemies truly carried little significance. On the other hand, unlike the authorities of the other Pillar Gods, the Sun's magnitude was indeed monumental.

Even the Alien Realm that eroded Hemenu would not be able to assimilate such a grand-level power in a short time. No matter how powerful the Outer Gods were, They could not be compared to the entirety of their Alien Realm.

They would either need an opportunity or they would require a sufficiently long time to gradually wear down and assimilate it. In any case, it wouldn't be immediate, thus irrelevant to the imminent destruction of the world.

At that moment, Amon-Ra smiled a heartfelt smile. With the fall of the Sun, he clearly felt a great change within himself.

The Absolute Void was finally perfected within him, its dual aspects of Yin and Yang unified within his being.

This was a power that should not belong to a God... After all, La knew what the so-called Eight Primordial Spirits really were.

Though they were called gods, they were not truly deities. To be precise, they were always part of the world.

In the ancient beginnings of Creation, in the era before even Atum was born, the nascent world instinctively tried to possess Wisdom, the most fundamental aspiration of all existence.

Thus, It differentiated within Its four basic structures, taking on different personas in the form of male and female.

They totaled eight, the male deities with frog heads and female deities with serpent heads. In this manner, the world attempted to possess its own 'consciousness,' rather than being eternally devoid of subjective will.

No one knows what heights a complete living world could reach if it were innately 'alive.'

However good the intention, the outcome was obvious. The world ultimately failed, and even though It wasn't as powerful as Chaos, making the quest for order slightly less difficult, It was still a complete world.

Scoring ten thousand or three thousand points on a paper that was meant to be marked out of one hundred is essentially an impossibility. Such a powerful force, being naturally enduring, could not possibly possess Wisdom. Thus those eight personas existed for but a fleeting moment, then returned to the world itself.

But despite failure, for beings of such high caliber, 'having once existed' inevitably leaves traces.

So even though no gods existed in that age, both Atum and La as two successive Sun Gods still knew the names of those eight personas from the Primordial Waters.

The mascots of the Absolute Void were Amon (Amun) and its counterpart, Amaunet (Amaunet).

The mascots of Boundless Darkness were Kuk (Kuk) and Kauket (Kauket).

The mascots of Infinite Space were Huh (Huh) and Hauhet (Hauhet).

The mascots of the Primordial Waters were Nu (Nu) and Naunet (Naunet).

Together they represented the world's initial, basic state of concepts, separate they were the four faces of the world, but together they formed a complete world, encompassing all that Hemenu was.

Whether it be the sun or the many subsequent Godhoods, they were just like the Benben Stone and the first Sun, Atum, born from it; they, too, were divinities risen from the Primordial Waters. Even combined, they were just progeny of the Primordial Waters.

So if one were to understand it in the way of Chaos's Deity, the four faces represented by the Eight Primordial Spirits did not correspond to the Primordial Gods, but to the laws of this world and the rules of the Outer Realm.

The Primordial Waters were like another version of the present world, most active, and the first God was born from Them.

However, Hemenu is far inferior to Chaos, so naturally, the Eight Primordial Spirits could not be compared to this world... But for Amon-Ra, he had never witnessed the reality of Chaos, so his point of comparison could not possibly be an existence far in an Alien Realm, utterly unattainable.

Gently lifting his hand, as if breathing in unison with the world.

At this moment, the vast expanse of the Void around Hemenu was in La's perception.

Everywhere the world's power reached, his will could extend there; even to the distant ends of the Void, he was no exception.
