The cultivation of the sun goddess

Apollo's worries are not unreasonable. After all, his opponent is Uranus, the first generation of god king known for his violence throughout the ancient era.

If Artemis really meets Uranus in the air, then even in the night sky at home, with the assistance of the space god and the day goddess, it is estimated that it will be difficult to escape unscathed.

And the other party is definitely going to attack the position of the main god. According to Apollo's thinking, Artemis is best to avoid direct contact with the other party during this period of time before all the dust settles.

With this idea in mind, on the way back, Apollo did not forget to instill his ideas in his younger brother.

Although this behavior was for the purpose of protection, it also disturbed the God of Hunting.

After finally returning to the Temple of Light, Apollo, who said he was tired, was busy sorting out the materials, and let Hypnos shut the door.

"Although I understand what my sister means, but she is still too verbose..."

Artemis took advantage of this opportunity and started complaining about Apollo with Sleep God.

"It's true to say so, but you have to believe that your sister is also worried about your safety..."

Hypnos tactfully defended Apollo's reputation, but thinking of all the experiences of being dominated by this goddess of light, Hypnos couldn't help but secretly nodded in agreement with Artemis, which is too true up!

Apollo's starting point is often good, that is, the goddess of light will always take the trouble to preach every time it is executed.

"You think so too?"

Hearing Hypnos's insincere words, Artemis gave him a sideways glance, and then laughed, "Hey hey, everyone is in the same distress, so we shouldn't see each other like this. Speaking of which, The matter between you and my sister is already done, right?"

Not wanting to keep recalling Apollo's preaching, Artemis turned her gossiping attention to the relationship between her sister and Hypnos.

Although these two have never disclosed their love life to the public, over the years, Sleeping God has almost soaked in Olympos, which is the rhythm of treating this place as a second home.

"Ah, how do you say this..."

Suddenly asked this question, Hypnos looked a little shy, "I confessed my love, but Apollo..."

Apollo didn't agree at all at the time - but he didn't refuse either!

Regarding the episode that happened when he confessed his love, Hypnos didn't want to relive it again in front of his younger brother, so he jumped over and kept silent about Apollo's original answer.

Anyway, Apollo also adopts the default response method, so let everyone default.

"Well, that's it."

Artemis didn't see anything wrong, and nodded when she heard the words, and then said: "But since it's been confirmed, when are you going to hold the wedding?"

In the eyes of the god of nature and hunting, Apollo and Hypnos can be said to be a certainty when they come together.

Since these two people are about to become successful, the status they deserve is also indispensable.

Apollo is the majestic daughter of Zeus and the main god of Olympus. It is impossible for him to let his sister run away with others without a name, so at this moment, he also began to vaguely urge marriage.

"I can do it anytime!"

If it was someone else who was urged to marry, I guess I would have a lot of reluctance in my heart, but Hypnos couldn't ask for it.

As soon as Artemis said this, Sleeping God immediately began to raise his hands, "I have talked to my mother god about this matter before, and they have also acknowledged it."

The implication is that he has already taken care of all the matters on the man's side, and all that is left is for Apollo to nod.

"Isn't that nice?"

Artemis was satisfied with Hypnos' answer, and then asked a few more gossip questions, but after he didn't get the gossip information he wanted to know, he followed up and said: "Since everyone Well, then I think I should do it quickly."

In fact, when it comes to Hypnos, Artemis was dissatisfied before, but he has to admit that this male god is really good in all aspects.

In this world, there are two primitive gods' parents as their backers, and besides having a Netherworld iron rice bowl, his divine power is also considered top-notch, and his height is only slightly worse than him, so it is reasonable to match his sister...

Thinking about it this way, Artemis felt that if he didn't make a decision quickly, he might pass this village in the future and there would be no such shop.

"But this matter is not something that can be done with my direct consent."

Although he was a little surprised why the other party suddenly changed his attitude, Hypnos was so ecstatic about Artemis' proposal that he almost agreed with it.

But just as he said, it's not that they just want to be hot. The other one who was proposed didn't agree, so who did he marry?

While talking now, Sleeping God showed a trace of sadness on his face, and at the same time, he pointed the core of the problem at Apollo, "I also proposed marriage before, but your sister didn't agree at all!"

Speaking of this, Hypnos felt a little depressed.

how to say?

Although Apollo is indeed what Hypnos likes, there is one thing that makes him have to complain.

That is, Apollo, like his mother goddess, is a very enterprising goddess——

"Huh? Why?"

Hearing this, Artemis frowned slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable, "Don't tell me my sister doesn't like you very much?"

That's what he said, but Artemis felt it shouldn't be.

After all, he used to help his sister drive away rotten peach blossoms. When dealing with those male gods, the goddess of light showed a very cold and rational side, and she didn't say anything at all to save face.

On the other hand, Hypnos, the one in front of him has been wandering in front of Apollo for a long time and has not been driven away, so it must be something special, right?

"Hey, so you still don't understand, let me give you an example..."

Seeing Artemis's reaction, Hypnos knew that this man must have misunderstood, so he sighed and said, "You should know that only two of the original gods are goddesses, and one is mine. Mother Goddess, and the other is the sealed Gaia, do you know what kind of attitude these two goddesses have when dealing with 'career'?"

"I don't know." Artemis shook his head very honestly, "I'm not you."

Apart from his parents, the rest of his relatives are all primitive gods. Such a high-level background is rare in the world.

"Okay, let's take a ready-made example..."

The corner of his mouth twitched, and Hypnos didn't intend to refute, instead, he began to analyze the difference with Artemis in detail.

As primitive gods, the two goddesses, Gaia and Nix, have completely different principles of dealing with people.

The former is used to letting male gods stand in front of the stage and manipulating behind the scenes. Therefore, Uranus was created in ancient times and supported on the throne of the king of gods.

And when Gaia found that Uranus was not under his control, he instigated his youngest son, Cronus, the god of time, to lead a group of Titan gods to provoke a rebellious war.

In the end, the God of Time with the support of Mother Earth also successfully kicked Uranus down, and after getting a vicious curse that would be overthrown by his own children in the same way, the second generation of God King successfully became Gaia's piece.

All the gods in the world know about this matter, and Hypnos, as a relative, watched the excitement with his big family from the sidelines, and now talking about this matter to Artemis, that is also true. Talk eloquently.

"So there is such a complicated difference..."

If Hypnos didn't say it, it would be difficult for Artemis himself to notice the subtle difference.

But now that he is so sleepy, he is also aware of the difference, and he feels a little emotional instead.

My sister's personality was determined from the time they were born.

As for Apollo's strong temper, Artemis, as his younger brother, naturally had no way to say anything, and now he felt a little sorry for Hypnos, who made this guy fall in love with him?

"Don't worry, we haven't finished yet." Waving his hand, Hypnos, who didn't know that he had been sympathized by the other party, went on to talk about his mother god.

Compared with Gaia, who is accustomed to listening to politics behind the curtain, Nix, who is also a primitive goddess, does not believe in the "behind-the-scenes great" way of relying on her husband and son.

Therefore, unlike the elder sister Gaia, Knicks' own strength is stronger than Erebus, and he is also in charge of destiny.

This makes even if one day Erebus wants to break up with her, he has to evaluate whether he can win his wife, or whether he can bear the price after successfully suppressing Knicks...

The painting styles of Apollo and the goddesses of Olympus are different, which made Hypnos feel a little strange at first, but strange and kind.

At that time, he didn't know why, but after getting along for a while, he thought about it carefully, and the sleeping god finally understood, isn't this a copy of his own mother god?

Fortunately, apart from the belief that the goddess should have her own career, not rely on anyone, and adopt the principle of self-reliance, Apollo's personality is still very different from Nix.

Otherwise, it is estimated that Hypnos would have to mourn his poor first love.

"Then what do you think you can do?"

After expressing emotion with Hypnos, Artemis scratched his head immediately.

In his opinion, the status should be settled, and the marriage should be done early, but the God of Hunting also has self-knowledge, knowing that he can't change Apollo's will, so facing the God of Sleep for help, he can only do it. He patted Hypnos on the shoulder and said, "Forget it, you should do your best."

"What did you say?"

Just when the two brothers were complaining about each other, Apollo, who had finished sorting out the materials, came out of the study, and saw the two male gods with strange expressions.

"It's nothing, I'm just idle to praise your greatness and your success."

He yelled at the other party, feeling the strange atmosphere, Artemis was afraid of being educated again, so he turned his head and ran away.

As the hunting god left, there were only two lovers left in the entire temple.

"What's the matter?" Seeing his younger brother disappear in front of him like a gust of wind, Apollo turned his attention to Hypnos, and the meaning of the question was self-evident.

"Hey, don't listen to his nonsense, I just chat with him casually!"

Hypnos blushed when he was seen, pretended to cough a few times, and then said to him from left to right, "Well, I think you were in a hurry when you came back just now, have you finished your work now?"

"I have nothing to do at first, just sort out the news at hand."

Nodding, Apollo walked to the seat next to Hypnos and sat down, and then said: "By the way, I have been thinking about a question just now. You said that with the joining of Poseidon, Tianhai formed an alliance. Not only does it mean that the cohesion of Zeus will increase significantly, although such benefits are beneficial to the stability of the Protoss, but everything has two sides, and I am afraid it will also bring disadvantages..."

"You mean Athena and Poseidon?"

Seeing Apollo frowning, Hypnos, who was very well informed about all kinds of news from the outside world, immediately understood the other party's concerns. After thinking for a while, he said, "But didn't you say that Athena had been thrown into the world by Zeus?" Did you go?"

Although this goddess united with some sea gods before, she began to challenge Poseidon Pontos and the original sphere of influence.

But everyone also understands in their hearts that compared to Neptune and the ancient sea god who have been operating in the ocean for a long time, Athena is still a little tender. Even with the support of the old department of the ocean god behind her, the goddess of wisdom who is still young can't really shake the ocean situation.

"I also said before that Zeus did this...maybe to temporarily keep Athena away from the ocean, but I always feel that it is not that simple."

After a slight pause, Apollo only felt a flash of light and shadow in front of his eyes, and the power of prophecy was activated, which made the Goddess of Light see a fragment of the future.

His eyes fell on the illusory light, and what was reflected in it was the scene above the earth.

The Goddess of Wisdom, who lost her divine light, walked with a group of humans, and at the same time led the humans to start hunting and farming, and gradually got rid of the wild situation...

Along with the great achievements of the goddess of wisdom, this also made Athena worshiped by the human race and worshiped.

Then, accompanied by the vibration of the void, an unknown force fell out of thin air, and finally blessed the other party, making Athena's figure taller and taller on the long river of fate——

This is the power of faith!

Seeing this, Apollo immediately understood.

No wonder Athena looked confident before. It turned out that she had clearly realized from the very beginning that the future battlefield of the gods was in the human world!

So those troubles at sea were nothing more than wanting to make a fuss. Only by deceiving people's eyes and ears could Athena be able to cover up her true intentions.

"Why did you look so ugly all of a sudden?"

Hypnos has been paying attention to Apollo, but he didn't wait for the goddess to answer, so he found that Apollo's face was very strange.

"It's nothing, I just realized that we were almost cheated." Shaking his head, Apollo and Hypnos shared their guesses, and then asked him, "Do you have any ideas?"

"Well, since the goddess of wisdom wants to use the belief of the human race to elevate her status, then we can do the same."

At the beginning, Hypnos did not expect that Athena's vision would be so far-reaching, nor did he expect that the power of human faith would be so powerful.

After listening to Apollo's analysis, he thought for a while and replied: "If wisdom is to use means to inspire the original driving force of creatures to achieve change, then the power we have can also affect the entire human race."

If Athena wants to obtain the power of faith, she must obtain the worship of the human race.

So in the fragments of the future that Apollo saw, the other party used his wisdom to lead the human race to a better life.

This is also the formal policy that Prometheus made when he led the human race to reproduce. In a sense, these two gods are worthy of a pair, and even their plans are similar.

And Hypnos's thoughts are more direct, they are not thrown down by Zeus, they have divine power, and if they really want to promote it, they will only be more direct than Athena.

"Are you planning to intervene directly with divine power?"

Seeing Hypnos nodding, Apollo didn't quite agree, "If divine power can accomplish everything, then this world doesn't need other races except the Protoss."

The evolution of the world is inseparable from the creatures living inside and outside the world. The Protoss is the rule side. Although it accounts for a large proportion of the entire world, it is definitely not the whole world.

Athena's trip to the mortal world will not be easy, which is the consensus of all the gods.

Reincarnated from a god to a mortal, Athena lost her divine power, only the wisdom in her heart was immortal. In the eyes of everyone, it was Zeus's revenge and punishment.

The real purpose of the Goddess of Wisdom is actually to let herself enter another realm through the power of faith. Even so, he still has to lead the human race to reclaim fields, hunt wild animals, store food, and through a series of physical actions to win the human race. recognition.

Hypnos thought it was a sign that the other party had no choice, but Apollo thought it was not so superficial.

To put it bluntly, the Goddess of Wisdom probably understood it a long time ago, knowing that God cannot grow up on behalf of people. This is teaching them to fish, not giving them fish.

Only by truly standing in the same position as the human race can one obtain the purest source of faith.

Therefore, Prometheus held high the torch of wisdom and led the civilization of the human race to glory. Even though this prophet was a protoss, he was later regarded as the ancestor by the human race that was reborn from the great flood.

The power belonging to the human race protected Prometheus, so that even though the prophet was imprisoned by the king of gods, he still had great power that even Zeus could not kill him.

"Then do you want to become a human too?"

After listening to Apollo's words, Hypnos showed embarrassment, then thought about it, and said very resolutely: "If you really want to do this, you might as well let me replace you!"

After all, Apollo is a goddess, and unlike Athena, who was kicked down by Zeus, even if she had other plans, she shouldn't do it herself.

"No need."

Looking at the Sleeping God who was planning to make sacrifices for himself, Apollo couldn't help laughing, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness, but... I thought of another way."

His eyes fell on the golden pillar of fire burning quietly in the temple, and a mysterious smile appeared on the corner of Apollo's mouth.

From another perspective, what Hypnos said just now is not entirely wrong.

Think about it carefully, who created the human race?

That's right, the Protoss.

During this period, the power of the gods was not restricted by the rules, and they were still in a very strong state.

Therefore, all creatures in the world respect or fear the gods.

This is derived from the worship of power, and it is also the imprint that the rules have engraved in the depths of their souls at the beginning of their birth.

Everything runs, and everything should follow the law-the gods are the rules!

The development of civilization, in addition to the spiritual manifestation of humanistic advancement, must rely on the power of nature.

What is nature?

The human race needs weapons to hunt the beasts on the land. Whether it is the roughest stone weapons or smelting metals in the future, the beginning of all sustainable development is nothing more than logging and plowing, grazing and domesticating animals.

Although this world is not suitable for farming civilization, the human race cannot do without the elemental supply of everything in the world.

What Apollo suddenly thought of was a very famous myth in the future-Prometheus stole the sky fire and brought civilization to mankind.

"If my guess is correct, before the goddess of wisdom goes to glory, the prophet who has already seen a clue will be willing to become a 'stepping stone' for her."

Looking away, Apollo stretched out his hands to smooth out the non-existing folds of his robe, and then said to Hypnos, "So we need to prepare first."

"You mean Prometheus will take the initiative to attack us?"

After hearing Apollo's words, Hypnos frowned slightly, "Does he dare to set foot on Olympus?"

It's not that God of Sleep underestimated the famous wise man of the Titan, but how much Prometheus was disliked and hated by Zeus has always been known to all the gods.

In this cusp, how dare Prometheus come back, and even do something to Apollo?

"If there is enough interest in everything, it is always difficult to say..."

Smiling and shaking her head, Apollo didn't intend to reveal the mystery. After thinking for a while, she said to Hypnos, "By the way, haven't you been back to Nether for a long time?"

"Uh, how do you know?"

When this question was suddenly mentioned, Hypnos's thoughtful expression froze for a moment, and he asked her with some annoyance, "Did Hades send you a message?"

"Isn't it?" Nodding, Apollo said: "After all, I can't find you. Even if I find you, you will still talk about His Highness the Evernight Goddess. Hades is also quite desperate..."

As Artemis had previously thought, Hypnos had stayed too long in Olympus.

During this period, Hades, the king of the underworld, also kept sending letters, asking the other party to come back, but Hypnos took a policy of ignoring this.

If he was really in a hurry, he even moved out his mother god.

Facing the threat from the Evernight Goddess, even Hades, a workaholic, had to raise the white flag to surrender temporarily, so this gave Hypnos a chance to sneak in a while.
