Lis looked at the records in front of him, and his expression was somewhat difficult to maintain. For origınal chapters go to noveⅼfire.net Within the records of the Elf Clan, the Giant Pantheon is a divine group centered around "Father of All Things" An Nan. Each Giant clan is not naturally born, but rather the offspring of An Nan and different spouses, thriving and expanding. Their beliefs and legends are deeply rooted in the civilization and history of the Giants. An Nan is the supreme god of the Giant Pantheon, known as the "Father of All Things" or "Father of Giants." In the mythology of the Giant Clan, He created the framework of the world and the Giant race, and is even believed to have shaped the elements themselves. Different Giant sub-species have varying beliefs about Him. Hill Giants view Him as the giver of abundance, while Stone Giants revere Him as the embodiment of art and craftsmanship... An Nan possesses both philosophical contemplation and instinctual desires. His abilities cover quite a wide range of domains, but due to choosing "not to know" certain things, He fell into feuds with His children. His prolific nature and romantic escapades led to complex opposition within the pantheon, eventually causing a split. Despairing over the feuds of His offspring, An Nan disappeared from Gaia World, rarely intervening in reality. His incarnations have appeared in Gaia World only a few times, and for nearly ten thousand years, no news of any appearance has been heard. An Nan’s pantheon initially had a structure centered around the gods of order, but this system gradually disintegrated amidst strife. An Nan’s marital history was complicated, profoundly impacting the pantheon’s division. His first spouse was an "unknown Sky Goddess," with whom He had a firstborn son, the "Sun God" Sichuomaozi, and a firstborn daughter, the "God of Nature and Hunting" Xi Yadi. This marriage laid the foundation of the pantheon. However, An Nan later married the "Mother of Giants" Osea, a marriage filled with betrayal and bloodshed. Osea secretly consorted with Father of Orcs Wapulake, God of the North Pole Ulu Tieo, and other male deities, birthing several children including "God of Hill Giants" Rug and "Stone Giant God" Oberdai. Her children were ostracized by An Nan’s other offspring due to impure lineage, while she herself attempted to expand her influence through her lovers, challenging An Nan’s authority. Many of these children were slain by An Nan and Osea’s other son Lanaxis. "Titan Giant God" Lanaxis is the ancestor of Titans. He killed His mother Osea and many brothers, but it is said that He also led to His own destruction as a result. An Nan had many children, but most fell or became Fallen due to power struggles. Sichuomaozi and Xi Yadi represent the camp of goodness, while Gelolanto, Surte, and Sollem were exiled for becoming Fallen. As the contradictions and hostilities among His children deepened, An Nan felt despair and chose to retire. Since An Nan’s disappearance, the Giant Pantheon lost its Main God and protector, and the divine began to act independently. Within the Giant Pantheon, the Order Camp is represented by Sichuomaozi and Xi Yadi, steadfast to An Nan’s ideology of Order, but gradually became marginalized. The Chaotic Camp is represented by "God of Hill Giants" Rug, "Fire Giant God" Surte, and "Frost Giant God" Sollem, who were cast into the Endless Abyss for their fall but still retained some followers. It was precisely the contradiction between the two sides that further led to the downfall of the Giant Pantheon and resulted in its ultimate collapse. However, no matter how Lis searched, there were no records of the final decline of the Giant Pantheon. There was no relevant information, as if the decline of the Giant Pantheon had suddenly happened. This is almost an impossible thing. In fact, the records regarding the Giant Pantheon from the Elf Clan are quite fragmented. Most are records of conflicts among Giant clans and the related oracles descended by the Elf Gods. Lis summarized the clues and movements regarding the Giant Pantheon from these records. As for the chaotic struggles within the Giant Pantheon, there are only a few legendary stories that might be related. The most famous among them is the conflict between Lanaxis and His brothers. Legend has it that Lanaxis is the child of "Father of Giants" An Nan and "Mother of Giants" Osea. Lanaxis’s birth was destined to be accompanied by Chaos. His mother Osea was the Queen of gods in the Giant Pantheon, yet was known for Her adulterous and licentious nature. She secretly consorted with Father of Orcs Wapulake, God of the North Pole Ulu Tieo, and other male deities, birthing many offspring with mixed bloodlines. As the legitimate son of An Nan and Osea, Lanaxis inherited divine power from An Nan but grew up surrounded by the shadows of His mother’s paramours and the infighting among His brothers. Because of the "affection" of "Mother of Giants" Osea, Lanaxis had many brothers. "God of Hill Giants" Rug, "Fire Giant God" Surte, and "Frost Giant God" Sollem are all brothers of Lanaxis. Reportedly, Lanaxis’s desire for power was completely distorted due to His mother’s favoritism and His brothers’ rise. Though Osea had affairs with numerous male gods, She placed heavy expectations on Lanaxis, trying to support Him as the common leader of the Giant Pantheon. However, Lanaxis’s brothers were equally ambitious, and the internal power struggle within the pantheon intensified. To clear the obstacles to power acquisition, Lanaxis orchestrated a shocking poisoning. He exploited His mother’s trust in Him and poisoned her at a banquet, leading to the collapse of Osea’s divine powers and decay of Her divine body. After poisoning His mother, Lanaxis turned the blade towards His brothers. He pursued His half-brothers one by one under the name of "purging the bloodline." Rug, Oberdai, Nicias, Vilmos, and others all met a tragic end at His hands.
