The family has a throne to inherit

Hephaestus rushed in from the outside in a hurry and asked, "How did you spread the calendar to the world?"

Astra said nonchalantly: "My priesthood already has a calendar, so what's wrong with spreading the calendar!"

Hephaestus couldn't help sighing, and said: "It's not that you don't know that Zeus has always disliked humans. Although he didn't end the Golden Age, the Silver Age and the Bronze Age were both ordered by Zeus to end. , In fact, to us gods, it is just a thing, but to humans, it is different!"

Hephaestus took a deep look at Astra: "Go back and Zeus will pursue it, what do you want to do?"

Zeus is not a fuel-efficient lamp. He is not like Odin. He has always appeared in the image of a tolerant and benevolent heavenly father in the later period. Apart from being generous to women, Zeus is still generous. Of course, this cannot conceal his scumbag attributes. Moreover, his generosity was only limited to the women he had taken advantage of. If any woman dared to reject him, the end would naturally not be so good.

It can be said that Zeus is narrow-minded, or that most of the gods in the Chaos pantheon have nothing to do with the word magnanimity.The so-called good temper of many gods is only aimed at gods of the same level as themselves. As for those humans, hehe, if an ant bites you, everyone's first reaction may be to shoot you to death!If you get more angry, you might just fall down with the hot water bottle in hand!

Astra took a funny look at Hephaestus: "Pursuing, what is there to pursue, it's just the calendar! Those who can learn these, that is, the priests of the temple, in the final analysis, isn't it to show the benevolence and harmony of the gods?" Glory!" Astra is indeed not a character who would intrigue, but, with more knowledge, he will still use a little roundabout way.As far as calendars are concerned, he is playing around the edges. Even if there is no accurate calendar, humans will judge when to plow and when to harvest based on experience.After all, unless the gods are convulsing, otherwise, the climate will not change much in a year. The calendar that Astra brought out is nothing more than making it more accurate.

Of course, the calendar is not static. The priests of Astra are enlightened and good at arithmetic. They can calculate the corresponding calendar according to the actual situation, such as the twelve signs of the zodiac and the cycles of the sun and the moon.

In fact, this is what is important. No matter what world you are in, mathematics is the foundation. Even in this world constructed of energy, it is the same. The laws of mathematics have not changed. Therefore, when humans learn mathematics, they It also started to set sail in the natural sciences.

Hephaestus was choked by Astra's indifferent tone, but he thought about it, because the so-called ancestors of mankind today are Pyla and Ducarion, they are descendants of gods, so they It is also left over from many civilizations of the Bronze Age that preserved fire and the like. Zeus didn't care about it, so what are you afraid of!

However, this is also because human beings are actually not as good as one generation after another. In the Iron Age, the origin and potential of these human beings are far behind their predecessors. Their upper limit is really low, low It is even stronger than ordinary animals. Therefore, Zeus actually despises this generation of humans. At least, if the heroes of the Golden Age can challenge the gods, humans in the Silver Age and Bronze Age are more powerful in the face of monsters. During some disasters, there is still a certain amount of resistance. In the Iron Age, human beings have almost no power to fight back in the face of these disasters.To survive in such a dangerous world, all human beings need is to pray to the gods for help.

Under such circumstances, the calendar or something is simply irrelevant in the eyes of Zeus.In particular, although the Bronze Age is over, the evil spirits that spread to the earth are still there. Human beings can no longer be united as before. They are scattered into small tribal city-states, and they will only conquer each other in the future , hurt each other.And Zeus also delineated the beliefs of the gods in the world, especially for those who intend to believe in the gods, and delineated the scope. Under such circumstances, even if they can obtain human beliefs, it is very limited. What threat will it pose to Zeus.

As for Astra, although Zeus doesn't know this son very well, it is obvious that this son is impossible to follow the way of faith. In addition to Toss' friendship, there are two brothers and sisters of the same birth, who are not very close, and even become more and more estranged.Because Astra does not show up all the year round, some new gods on Olympus hardly know of Astra's existence.Therefore, for Astra, Zeus naturally would not have any guard against him, just like he never guarded against Hephaestus.

In short, Hephaestus was originally worried that his good friend and brother would face the wrath of Zeus, but he found that besides himself, the gods and gods in question didn't take it seriously, and they all became angry from embarrassment Woke up.

Astra naturally thanked Hephaestus for his concern, and then said directly, yes, just like what we said before, the gods are actually mostly arrogant and short-sighted guys, naturally I can't be as careful as you, knowing the importance of calendar and arithmetic.

Hephaestus was tamed by Astra, and he became accustomed to the short-sightedness of the gods.

In this way, Astra always played some side-balls. The priests of the Temple of Stars and the Temple of Knowledge were always the most knowledgeable. Many knowledge that was considered insignificant by the gods was passed down to the human world through the priests of Astra.

Astra did not ask the priests below to spread knowledge. He has few temples on the earth, but each temple has a library. Anyone who wants to learn knowledge can go to the library to borrow books. Some precious knowledge naturally has to be paid for, that is, to use the printing press in the temple to typeset and print some books for the temple.If anyone discovers any new knowledge, they can also stay in the temple as a reward.

Under such circumstances, many scholars naturally appeared in the world. They did not openly declare their belief in the God of Stars and the God of Knowledge. However, as scholars, it was only natural for them to spread knowledge and communicate with each other.

However, in view of the fact that there are many city-states on the land today, and it is still in a slave society, the rate of knowledge penetration is actually not high.

But at the realm of Astra, the natural concept of time is different. For Astra, the time of tens of millions of years is actually just a blink of an eye.

What's more, if human beings have climbed to a relatively high technology tree in a short period of time, then the gods who feel the threat will naturally send divine punishment immediately. Anyway, it is not difficult to create human beings again matter.

Therefore, Astra is nothing more than giving mankind a little scientific enlightenment. Next, it depends on themselves.Heaven helps those who help themselves, if even knowledge and so on are expected to be bestowed by the gods, and they do not think or learn by themselves, then what is the value of such a human being?Astra cultivated a litter of mice, maybe they could evolve into intelligent creatures!

At present, the gods do not feel that human beings are beyond their control. Humans in the Black Iron Age have increased their ability to reproduce. In just a few thousand years, there are thousands or even more small city-states on the earth. , and the population has been growing steadily.

The population growth alone, but the resources and so on, have not been able to keep up with the population growth. In a sense, it is the lack of productivity. Even though there were ships trading through the Aegean Sea a long time ago, but, in When the overall supplies are not abundant enough, there is not much to do even in trade. Therefore, in order to compete for resources, things like war are naturally inevitable.

The most important thing is that those gods whose priesthoods are related to human beings have discovered the benefits of the power of faith. Originally, many of their priesthoods did not seem to be powerful, and they were not like those main gods. Apollo, even if he only has the priesthood of a god of light, as long as there is light in the world, he will never have to worry about lack of divine power.The same is true for Aphrodite, as long as any creature that pursues beauty and wants to exist, her personality will not be shaken.These gods who are closely related to human life, if there is no worship from humans, they are the lowest kind of gods, with low divine power. In Olympus, their status is probably not even comparable to that of some main gods' personal servants.

And after gaining the power of human belief, these gods will inevitably embark on the road of believing in gods. There is no way, compared to working hard to use their own godheads, absorbing energy from the power of the world and transforming it into divine power, it is natural. It is easier and more convenient to transform the power of faith into divine power, so competition for faith has naturally become the normal state of these gods.If it weren't for the fact that the Chaos pantheon itself was a pantheon that allowed believers to have multiple non-conflicting beliefs, otherwise, the relationship between the gods would have become even worse.

With the intensification of human wars, the ones who benefited the most are Ares and Athena. They both have the priesthood of war. In the past, because they could cover not many races of creatures, it was nothing more than battles between gods, or even the natural world. Those competitions in the world can barely be counted in the war. When human wars become more frequent, the war force of the world itself will continue to fluctuate. Under such circumstances, a God of War, a Goddess of War, what they get The power of faith is a very large amount of data.

After all, in such an era of unrest, every city-state and small country had to believe in a god of war. Otherwise, when fighting, whether there was the blessing of the god of war was completely two concepts.

This also led to an increasingly fierce competition between Ares and Athena. If at the beginning, the two gods could barely maintain harmony, but now, in order to compete for faith, or to compete for the so-called The orthodox priesthood of war, they are almost torn apart, and they are endless!

For such a situation, Zeus showed a happy attitude. Anyway, these two children are not fuel-efficient lamps. It is better for them to compete with each other, so that they have no time to make ideas on his father. Therefore, Zeus often pulls sideways inside, and Zeus pulls whoever loses the wind, and then the two fight more fiercely!
