Chapter 82: The Amazing Memory Goddess, Twenty-Four Solar Terms ①
Tartarus looked down at Mnemosyne, the goddess of memory, and smiled, "Is this your worth?"
"Yes, great Lord of the Underworld." Mnemosyne responded respectfully.
She added, "I heard from the Big Dipper gods in space that they each correspond to seven letters of the alphabet. This is probably incomplete, right? You should have a complete alphabet system."
"I control memory, so I can naturally help you spread these letters to all gods and all future life forms."
"Similarly, when you created the concept of time, your goal should have been to gain authority over the time system, right? However, its reach wasn't high enough, and it didn't lead to a world-changing feat."
"I can help you spread your concept of time even faster. Your words and language, from me, will spread to every corner of the Chaos world."

Tartarus said: "This way, you can also benefit from it!"
Mnemosyne said honestly, "Of course, everything you have created is the knowledge I seek."
Tartarus created four stone tablets with the concept of time, and later created several more. If he had to keep telling other gods about it, the speed of communication would have been too slow.
When true humanity was born, he could not proclaim these concepts on earth with a loud voice every day.
First of all, this behavior is more likely to cause panic among life forms other than humans, animals, and gods.
Even so, it was not enough to spread.
Because the first humans were not yet fully intelligent, even later on not all of them could read.
At the same time, various animals and monsters also have different languages, and it is still impossible to spread them to the entire world.
The goddess of memory, Mnemosyne, controls memory.
She could easily infuse the concepts of time, words, and language created by Tartarus into all gods and living beings in the form of memory.
There is no need for these living beings to recognize words and language, as memory is not subject to these restrictions.
Tartarus wanted to create heaven and angels, which involved the power of faith.
Naturally, such an excellent storyteller is even more needed.
This will allow him to accumulate faith faster in the future.
Tartarus smiled and said, "Goddess of Memory Mnemosyne, I agree that you will become my messenger in the world of Chaos. Say whatever you want."
Mnemosyne said, "First, I want to know the most complete alphabet of that writing, and I also want to know the time more comprehensively."
"At the same time, I want to take control of the Forgotten River Lete."
"I control the divine power of memory. I feel that this Styx can cause gods to temporarily lose their memories after drinking its water."
"Other life forms, if they drink the river water, can even completely forget their past memories. The Styx, with its laws of memory, I feel like this is the river created for me."
"However, the Forgotten River, Lett, is incomplete now. As the God of Memory, I can also make the Lett River truly complete."
"Okay," Tartarus said, "From now on, control of the Western River of Forgetfulness, Leth, one of the five great rivers of the underworld, will belong to you, Mnemosyne, the goddess of memory."
"Thank you for your generosity." Mnemosyne said with a peaceful smile.
From beginning to end, she remained calm.
This also made Tartarus look at this god with a new respect.
The divine right of memory is very important, even vital, to the world and mankind.
But currently, the goddess of memory, Mnemosyne, is only in the early stages of her powerful divine power. When her divine power is not strong enough, the power she can exert is very weak.
It can even be said that excluding the seven star gods, Mnemosyne is the weakest in terms of combat power.
With her current memory authority, she can only interfere with the memory of the gods for a short period of time, and cannot cause any greater trauma.
But compared to other gods, he was excited every time he obtained the power granted by Tartarus.
Kronos, the god of space, appeared calm, but Tartarus could still sense the excitement in his divine body's heartbeat.
However, from the beginning till now, this goddess of memory not only did not appear excited, but was even very calm inside.
This surprised Tartarus a little.
But he wasn't too surprised.
When the gods do not know enough information and are in a state of ignorance, their emotions such as joy and anger naturally change faster.
The gods who obtain more information will naturally get out of ignorance faster, and will also be more confident and calm.
Like the current goddess of memory, Mnemosyne, Tartarus believed that knowledge gave her confidence and composure.
At this time, Tartarus said to himself: "Memory is magical. It gives you a vast amount of knowledge."

"The memory of the gods and the memory of plants are like pieces of knowledge, allowing you to learn more."
"However, too many memories will also bring you chaos. Too many memories of gods will also bring more chaos, causing the chaos in your divine body to increase rapidly."
"Right now, your divine body is at a critical point. Ten years later, your divine body might have collapsed."
"At the same time, too many memories can easily make you lose yourself and forget which memories are your real ones and which are not yours."
"I'll help you find the source of chaos, but you need to control your own inner self."
As he spoke, Tartarus casually grabbed.
Chaos theocracy is launched.
A mass of chaotic origin, like a thick black fog, floated out of the body of the goddess of memory, Mnemosyne, and flew into the palm of Tartarus.
In an instant, Mnemosyne felt extremely relaxed.
This time she took the initiative to come to Tartarus because she heard that this primordial god could absorb the god's body and the source of chaos within the god's body.
In recent years, she has been unable to suppress the source of chaos.
He used his divine power to continuously eliminate the source of chaos, but its growth rate was faster than his elimination rate.
In particular, she continued to absorb fragments of memories from various gods.
The crisis is getting worse.
At this moment, all the sources of chaos in her body were eliminated!
"Thank you again for your guidance and help."
Mnemosyne, the goddess of memory, showed a trace of distress on her face. "To be honest, I have never taken the initiative to explore the memories of any god."
"But I am the Goddess of Memory, and I control the divine power of memory. Unless your strength is far inferior to mine, such as the Mother Goddess, you, and the two gods of night and darkness."
"Other gods, around me, occasionally have fragments of memories that enter my mind."
"Every time a memory fragment enters my body, a trace of chaos will arise, which has led to the current crisis."
"This kind of uncontrollable situation makes me very distressed."
As she spoke, she looked towards Tartarus, a glimmer of hope in her eyes.
She had heard Hemera speak of Tartarus many times.
In the mouth of the Day Goddess, it seems that this god is omnipotent.
Whenever Hemera encountered difficulties, he could easily solve them.
A small bead resembling a drop of liquid appeared on Tartarus' fingertips, and he flicked his finger towards Mnemosyne.
"I call it the Pearl of Chaos, and it can be integrated into the divine body."
"From now on, if the source of chaos arises in your body, you don't need to eliminate it. Direct it to the Chaos Pearl, and it will be naturally absorbed. This way, it won't interfere with your growth."
He gave this thing to all the gods of the abyss, but not to any god of the earth.
After all, entering the divine body could easily lead to misunderstandings. But Tartarus knew that the God of Memory was not afraid.
"Thank you again." Mnemosyne reached out to catch the black chaos bead that looked like a drop of liquid, and tried to put it close to the back of her hand, and the small bead naturally entered.
Then, she felt a small bead on the back of her hand. It didn't interfere with her at all, and no divine consciousness was emitted.
Any divine consciousness detection by the gods will increase the memory of the diviner, so naturally Mnemosyne is very sensitive to divine consciousness.
Therefore, she could be sure that this Chaos Pearl was not used by Tartarus to explore her divine body. It was harmless to her and she did not explore it secretly.
At this time, Tartarus waved his hand, and seven stone slabs appeared beside him.
Tartarus said: "Four time slabs."
"The first part: Explain the time conversion concepts of year, month, day, hour, minute, and second."
As he spoke, the slate flew close to Mnemosyne, the goddess of memory.
The area of the stone slab became infinitely larger, and the text on it was the Chinese characters from Tartarus' previous life.
He showed these stone tablets to the goddess of night, Nyx, but unfortunately Nyx could not understand the words on them.
In order for Nyx to understand this set of words, Tartarus also needs to recreate it from the basics.
It was too time-consuming and labor-intensive, so Tartarus gave up temporarily and told Nyx directly orally.
"These words!"
Mnemosyne, who was always steady and calm, suddenly looked shocked.
"Is this the text of the primordial gods?" She looked at Tartarus and asked excitedly.
"No." Tartarus said, "It just came out of my memory. Can you understand the meaning of the words?"

"I can understand it. I have the authority over words and language. I will naturally understand the meaning of any words as long as the creator has given them meaning." Mnemosyne said.
but!"
At this moment, she stroked the huge stone slab as if she were touching the most precious treasure, her eyes full of cherishment and amazement: "What magical words! What great words! I feel the Dharma in the words.
"These stone tablets are also artifacts, artifacts of words, artifacts of time!"
Tartarus smiled.
Mnemosyne said this to indicate that the stone slabs she created were of higher value and naturally better.
He waved his hand, and the second stone slab rapidly grew larger and appeared below.
"The second time tablet details a calendar. I call it the solar calendar, or simply the Gregorian calendar."
Nemosyne looked at the second stone tablet and muttered to herself, "According to the sun's trajectory across the sky... a year consists of 365 days and 12 months."
"January, March, May, July, August, October, and December, each month has thirty-one days. February, April, June, September, and November, each month has thirty days."
"Every three common years, there is one leap year... In a common year, February has 28 days..."
Looking at the densely packed records, Mnemosyne was amazed again!
Originally, she had only heard from other gods that Tartarus combined half a day of the sun and half a day of the moon into one day, and 365 days into a year.
Apart from this, there is no other concept of time.
But today, what she saw was something she had not only never thought of, but also had no way of thinking about.
This knowledge is what she wants to teach.
And seeing it today, she was also amazed!
In Tartarus's previous life, the Gregorian calendar was a calendar based on the movement cycle of the earth's revolution around the sun.
Here, nature is different from the previous life.
Tartarus modified some details based on his understanding of the integration of various divine powers into the space divine power and his understanding of the current world laws.
By expressing and explaining it in a way that suits the mythological world of Chaos, a solar calendar suitable for the world of Chaos was created.
Tartarus waved his hand, and the third stone tablet flew over, rapidly growing larger.
He said, "The third stone tablet details another calendar, the lunar calendar. It's not very useful right now, but in the future, its role in certain life forms may surpass that of the solar calendar."
The lunar calendar in Tartarus's previous life was not a lunar calendar, but rather a combined lunar and solar calendar.
It's just that the lunar calendar covers more and is more complicated, which is not conducive to its initial rapid dissemination.
However, with the emergence of humans, humans began to grow crops, and after starting farming, humans became more dependent on the lunar calendar.
The lunar calendar of Tartarus's previous life was created based on the climate of the region where he lived, and may not be suitable for the current earth and underworld areas of the Chaos world.
But there must be a suitable area.
Even as the god of elements, Tartarus can create a climate region suitable for the lunar calendar.
"The fourth section: a detailed account of the changes of the four seasons and the twenty-four solar terms."
As Tartarus finished speaking, the fourth stone tablet grew larger and stood in front of Mnemosyne.
"Beginning of Spring, Rain Water, Waking of Insects, Spring Equinox... Grain in Ear, Summer Solstice... White Dew, Cold Dew..."
Not only do the 24 solar terms have names, they also have corresponding explanations.
Similarly, these are based on the climate of Tartarus's previous life and are not suitable for the current situation.
But since it was created, as a god, Tartarus can naturally create corresponding regional climates for these 24 solar terms.
However, it is not the right time yet, as humans have not yet been born. The twenty-four solar terms that serve human farming will play a greater role in the future.
When it plays the most important role, some of Tartarus's plans can be carried out more smoothly.
Take it all out, that's what Tartarus wants.
The goddess of memory, Mnemosyne, will remember everything and spread it quickly and in a timely manner when the time is right in the future.
After a long while, after carefully reading every word, Mnemosyne breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Tartarus: "You are indeed an omniscient god, just as Hemera said!"
"Until now, I only have a superficial understanding of it. I have no idea about these times and solar terms you created."
Tartarus smiled and said, "There's plenty of time in the future. You can take it back and read it slowly. If you don't understand anything, you can ask me."
"No, I'm not worthy of taking such a precious Time Slate. Me!"
Mnemosyne showed a hint of embarrassment on her face. She looked at Tartarus and asked, "Can I have my own residence in your palace?"
"Or, please allow me to live by the Styx, the River of Oath Keepers. That's fine too. I just hope to understand these stone tablets and the time as quickly as possible."
Tartarus said casually, "No need for the riverside. We built so many halls to provide a place for future generations of gods to live. You can choose the main hall or the halls other than the ones that have been selected."
