Throughout his long life, William’s heart has continuously undergone changes.
Initially, he experienced the loneliness of being the only one in a desolate surrounding. Then, he encountered other life forms and felt the excitement of seeing them grow.
During his first battle, he wanted to show off to his companions, leading to a phase where he constantly sought challenges from others.
Upon realizing his own immense strength, he tried to restrain his power, desiring to share common topics with ordinary people.
Without experiencing his life, it’s hard to understand the complex journey his heart has undergone.
After his first friend Cronus died, William divided Cronus’s power into three parts and gave it to Poseidon and his brothers. Before they fully controlled their respective domains, the world was still plagued by other ferocious beasts.
Of course, the term “powerful” is relative.
These beasts introduced William to the taste of meat.
Out of boredom, he shaped some clay figures during that chaotic era, when every creature was extremely powerful. Surprisingly, these clay figures eventually developed their own thoughts and souls, becoming the first humans.
As time passed, other powerful species emerged in the world.
William once speculated that these were the works of Cosmic Entities, imitating his creation because two powerful species appeared during that time.
One species had human bodies with supernatural powers and were called gods.
The other, with animal heads and human bodies, were known as demons.
Encounters between these two races usually led to fierce battles. Along with the rampaging beasts, some of which were stronger than gods and demons, their conflicts often resulted in catastrophic destruction.
The first humans William created had some strength, but they were not powerful enough to compete with gods, demons, or the ferocious beasts.
William did stand with humans to defend against gods, demons, and beasts, but he never sought their complete annihilation.
Because, at that time, he believed life to be immensely precious…
It wasn’t until the rules of heaven and earth were established and the world’s order stabilized that he met Artemis, the woman who moved his heart.
Apart from her remarkable talent, Artemis appeared somewhat naive in other aspects.
But that was the first time William truly fell in love, earnestly and seriously – probably what one would call a first love.
He had thought that Artemis, like him, would live on forever, but she eventually died during the Twilight of the Gods.
William experienced the agony of heart-wrenching grief for the first time and began his quest to resurrect Artemis.
Reviving someone wasn’t particularly difficult, but the outcome was hard for William to accept.
After her resurrection, it seemed as if the Cosmic Entity was deliberately making things difficult for William, constantly besetting Artemis with trials. She suffered immensely every day and was eradicated by the Cosmic Entity again as soon as she left William’s protection.
In a fit of rage, William sought to destroy the Cosmic Entity but couldn’t find it. In his fury, he annihilated the world with a single blow…
He thought this would destroy the Cosmic Entity, but to his surprise, life soon re-emerged, although the new beings were not as powerful as before.
Perhaps his strike did severely injure the Cosmic Entity. The subsequent life forms evolved slowly from single-celled organisms, and humans, as the books say, evolved gradually from apes.
Since then, William, upon encountering wars, mostly chose to retreat. Even if he participated, it was often as an inconspicuous soldier, just to alleviate boredom. 𝘦.𝘤𝘰𝑚
With the arrival of Divine Realm, those beings are ones William had killed and then resurrected. He tries as much as possible to avoid conflicts with them.
What he finds somewhat amusing is that he merely resurrected Artemis, yet the Cosmic Entity seemed to take issue with him. He destroyed all life in the world, but the Cosmic Entity simply resurrected them all and transferred them to another spatial dimension.
Time indeed dilutes everything. Now, William harbors no resentment towards the Cosmic Entity, only pure curiosity.
He simply wants to pull it out and punch it a couple of times, just to see if it can withstand it.
It’s not hard to guess that his blow indeed hurt the Cosmic Entity,otherwise, it could have easily created more powerful beings, instead of transferring their souls to another space for self-resurrection.
William had once created his own space and populated it with beings. However, he later lost interest and stopped intervening in that realm.
Theoretically, if William had created a new space for Artemis immediately after her resurrection, the Cosmic Entity would have been helpless. But at that time, William didn’t possess many special abilities, including creating his own space.
After Moros’s arrival, the next day, Delmar disappeared and the Sea God Poseidon personally visited.
Stepping on this land again after hundreds of thousands of years, Poseidon was filled with a whirlwind of emotions. Most importantly, he had finally found William and could retrieve his Trident.
Originally, Poseidon had lent the Trident to William for a while, but soon after, he lost consciousness and awoke in a completely new world, clueless about the Trident’s whereabouts and William’s location.
Fortunately, he found William, who agreed to return the Trident. Poseidon was content with this outcome.
Dressed in a white robe, looking neat and restrained in his aura, Poseidon stood at the villa’s door and knocked.
Ares opened the door and, seeing the visitor, asked, “May I help you with something?”
Poseidon, hands behind his back and wearing a friendly smile, replied, “Please inform Mr. Johnson that an old friend has come to visit.”
Just as he finished speaking, William’s voice was heard: “Come in, stop with the theatrics.”
Poseidon entered with an awkward smile, and Ares stepped aside to let him in.
William was playing a bridge-building game on his computer, embezzling the budget from the project and constructing bizarre bridges, breaking several world records that morning.
As Poseidon approached William, he remarked, “Mr. Johnson, playing games?”
Without mincing words, William said, “I’ll give you the Trident, but take the guy inside with you. Ask him if he wants to become your disciple.”
Most of the people at William’s home had already left. Zoey hadn’t returned for a while, probably due to a busy schedule.
“Let me take this person and nurture him properly,” said Poseidon, the Sea God. Upon hearing that William would actually return the Trident, what more was there to say?
It’s just about taking on a disciple, no big deal. 𝘪𝘦.𝘤𝑜
He took disciples even more casually than William. Ares’ talent wasn’t bad, completely acceptable.
“Sorry, I’m not willing,” Ares, who was always quiet, spoke up at this time.
Poseidon, the Sea God, didn’t take it seriously and said, “Young man, do you know who I am?”
