The cultivation of the sun goddess

The reason why Apollo said that it was about to start was because she knew that a good show was going on.

So when the holy fire of Olympus broke the darkness, a grand sacrifice followed.

According to ancient etiquette, under the leadership of the prophet Prometheus, human beings walked up the mountain step by step, and at the same time paid their own tribute to the Olympian gods in exchange for protection.

Under the decision of the seer, these tributes were divided into two piles, namely the bones of the ox and the meat.

However, there are two cowhide covers on the tribute, making the two piles of tribute look the same.

"Great Lord of Olympus, please choose the tribute you should enjoy, and the remaining half will be given to humans by the gods to multiply."

Bending slightly to Zeus, Prometheus was very humble.

"Ah."

Because of the humble attitude shown by Prometheus, Zeus was delighted. At this time, he nodded slightly and said to the gods beside him: "Then let's go and see what these humans have prepared to dedicate to you." Great Olympus!"

Naturally, no one would say no to Zeus's proposal.

So under the leadership of the God King, Hera the Queen of Heaven, Hestia the Kitchen Goddess and others also filed out of the temple and went out of the square.

On the square, many elves dressed in pure white Heaton were performing graceful dances as the flames swayed.

Beautiful music fell from the clouds, and countless rainbow lights lit up around the temple, making Olympos a pearl in the night, shining brightly.

Such a grand scene, with the many human races kneeling under the square, even Zeus, who was on guard against Prometheus, showed a satisfied smile.

It is worthy of being the human being bestowed by the mother of the earth who is closest to the flesh of a god. Compared with other creatures, this race is indeed unique.

Perhaps this is also the case, so starting from the first generation of god king Uranus, every subsequent king of the gods did not exterminate this race.

"That's the offerings prepared by humans, right?"

Pointing to the two piles of tall cowhide on the square, Hera said to Zeus with a smile on her face, "Zeus, why don't you let us know the human mind?"

Following Hera's words, the eyes of the gods also fell on the two piles of tributes that had been prepared.

But after seeing the truth under the cowhide, the expressions of many gods changed slightly.

It's all bones!

Prometheus is too bold—this is a blatant trick on Zeus!

This kind of superficial trick can't deceive the eyes of the gods. Reminiscent of the cowering expressions of those humans on the side, everyone is well aware of Prometheus' plan.

Although I don't know why the other party wants to die like this, but the matter has already happened. On this occasion, no one dared to reveal the truth of the matter first. At this time, they all turned their attention to Zeus, waiting for the ruling of the king of gods .

Zeus should have seen through all this a long time ago, but even so, the god king still had a smile on his face, "Since the other pile is going to be used by humans to reproduce, then I will use the pile on the left." Come share it with the gods."

He casually tapped the cowhide on the left side, and under Zeus's signal, Hermes nodded and walked over to uncover the cowhide.

When the cowhide was blown by the wind, the tall white bones also made the faces of the gods a little ugly.

It really is--

"My old friend, are you going to use this as a gift to Olympus?"

Seeing those bones, Zeus did not get angry immediately as everyone expected, but asked the human race very kindly, "Do you think these bones can be exchanged for the protection of the gods?"

Although they asked with a smile, the gods looked at Zeus and felt an inexplicable chill spread all over their bodies. Now they retreated a few steps without a trace, which relieved the uncomfortable oppressive feeling.

If even the gods are like this, the pressure that human beings, as ordinary creatures, will bear at this time will be even greater.

"I, I, we don't want to do this either... Please God Zeus calm down!"

Stared at by Zeus, the old man at the head of the human tribe fell to his knees tremblingly, and even a group of people behind him also knelt down.

"We don't want this..."

"But the grass on the land has disappeared, and the cattle can't eat food, can't grow meat, and lose their meat. How will we survive the next long cold winter?"

"Gods forgive me!"

As the old patriarch fell to his knees, the remaining human races also began to mourn their own difficulties.

Their voices were sad and helpless, but their words were clear. For a while, everyone cried and mourned, so that the lively dance that was dancing in the square was suddenly interrupted.

Looking at this "sacrifice ceremony", which can be called a farce, the gods looked at each other and fell silent.

As the instigator, Prometheus was locked by Zeus' divine pressure, and he couldn't move at the moment.

The main gods on the other side listened to the complaints of human beings, and now they whispered to each other, and then they felt that Prometheus's heart was poisonous.

Indeed, as human beings say, if they donate all their meat to the gods, it means that the next human race will face the dilemma of being unable to eat.

But now the earth is in the midst of spring and cold, without the protection of the divine power of the mother of the earth, it is even more difficult for the creatures on the ground to survive.

On the one hand, it is the protection and punishment of the gods, on the other hand, it is the inheritance and extinction of one's own race, which is more important?

No one has thought about this question before, and no one has figured it out.

Anyway, since it was the prophet's decision, everyone just knew that it was right to do what Prometheus said.

What exactly is Prometheus trying to do?

This question lingered in the minds of the gods, and without an explanation, they could only focus on Zeus and Prometheus who seemed to be engaged in an invisible confrontation.

"Don't blame them, it's all my idea!"

When the atmosphere was a bit dignified, Prometheus let out a loud roar, which suddenly broke the silent atmosphere.

While receiving the prayers of the human race, the prophet seemed to burst out with endless courage and strength. At this moment, he actually stood up, and even stood up straight under the powerful pressure of Zeus.

"What did you say?"

Narrowing his eyes, Zeus couldn't hear any emotion in his voice, "Old friend, after hiding for so long, I'm finally willing to stand up this time, but do you just want to show me such a farce?"

"Do you think this is just a farce?" Staring at Zeus, Prometheus, who is not much inferior to him, also laughed, "But I think this is the best question to test you .”

"Then it's time for you to accept this answer." After Zeus finished speaking, he moved his lips slightly to Hermes, and said after finishing his instructions, "Okay, let's announce it."

"Yes……"

Hermes' complexion became a little ugly because of what Zeus said just now, but he didn't dare to hesitate in the face of the god king's order, and said loudly: "Prometheus, the Titans, the god of prophets, now Openly violating the Olympian court, leading the human race to blaspheme the gods, and provoking the authority of the king of the gods, now according to the order of the god king Zeus, suppress him on the top of the Caucasus Mountain, and let the eagle peck his heart every day!"

As the envoy read the punishment for Prometheus instead of the king, the human race who had been kneeling on the ground and howling and pleading trembled, and then they asked the gods for forgiveness even more forcefully.

Zeus raised his hand and waved it lightly, a golden light fell down, and as soon as Hermes finished speaking, the male god who was originally bound by him suddenly disappeared.

But the watching gods understood that Prometheus had now been sealed to Mount Caucasus by the power of Zeus.

Although relying on the belief of the human race, Prometheus' divinity cannot be completely destroyed, and he can still remain immortal, but the curse from the god king is enough to prevent him from being imprisoned.

"Look, this is the price for daring to provoke Olympos."

Turning his head, Zeus followed Hera and others who were equally angry and ordered: "Next, all the gods of Olympus are not allowed to have contact with the human race, nor can they grant any form of protection to humans. Of course, if If you want to go to the Caucasus Mountains to be neighbors with Prometheus, then you can give it a try."

Zeus spoke harshly, who would dare to touch his brow at this time?

Therefore, they couldn't help but nodded, and at the same time began to discuss how to further punish humans.

……

When this "sacrifice" ended in the form of a farce, the silent Temple of Light suddenly lit up with a ray of light.

"Gods are not slaves to master all things, and human beings are not the private property of gods. I lead human beings to find the vitality of the future. This is my choice."

Facing Apollo sitting on the throne, Prometheus, who came from the divine projection, smiled brightly, "Then young goddess, what is your choice?"

Before Apollo set up a game to invite Prometheus to enter it, and taking away the sun and sky fire meant that the prophet himself was willing to enter the game.

Now it seems that the dust has settled, and the two gods who had been confronting each other behind the scenes have finally met.

"Your Highness is really powerful. Even if you are sealed by Zeus, you can still appear in front of me. It seems that I underestimated your background before."

Even though the person in front of him was just an illusory projection, Apollo could still feel the freedom and confidence contained in the other person's laughter, and now he clapped his hands together.

"Perhaps you are right."

Slowly nodded, Apollo looked at the man who suddenly stopped laughing because of his answer, and continued to say: "It's a pity that I am in my position and have to find something. I am the main god of Olympos, as long as I am still in this position for a day, and I must maintain its authority and honor."

This is also the dignity given to the gods by the law——

It replaces the law and maintains the rules, so whatever the gods do is justice, and it has nothing to do with right or wrong.

"It seems that you don't plan to go with me?"

Facing Apollo who had already given the answer, Prometheus seemed a little disappointed, "Then I can only support Athena."

"No, you don't have that chance."

Shaking his head again, Apollo asked back: "Do you know why I told them 'soon to start' just now? It's because according to the progress recorded in the 'history', no matter what you do or how you choose , you are always no match for the huge wheel of fate."

With a wave of his hand, a wave of Chaos Power spread from Apollo's fingertips, and at the same time broke up the divinity of Prometheus whose expression was slightly frozen, and then drove his power out of the temple.

After finishing all this, Apollo stood up from the throne, and muttered to himself: "You sing, it's time for me to appear on the stage."
