Chapter 117 Dreamscape

Zeus' gaze flickered and the smile at the corner of his mouth tightened slightly, 'Oh? What kind of a god is that?" Demeter who was still immersed in strong joy did not notice the slight change in Zeus, and continued to speak happily, 'This is a goddess who brings life to the earth, she represents the spring and the seeds, her name is Persephone." Hearing that it is a goddess, Zeus's complexion is slightly relaxed, and the smile on his face is even better, 'I'm sure this must be a beautiful and extraordinary goddess, and she will surely bring glory to you." '...... Zeus." Looking at Zeus's joyful face, Demeter's complexion moved, the joy of happiness washed over her mind, making her lose her usual calm restraint, she held Zeus's broad palm, the gentleness in her eyes was like a pool of spring water to melt people, 'During this period of time, we tasted the sweetness of love, and also ushered in the love crystals together, I don't want to let my godchildren become a bastard, I hope you can give me a name ......" Demeter's heart has always had a secret, as early as when Zeus rescued them from the belly of Cronus, the first time he saw this handsome and magnificent brother, Demeter has been secretly in love with him. Later, Zeus led the gods to overthrow the tyranny of the last king of the gods of the great figure, more that Demeter can not restrain the fascination of the king of the gods. But at that time Zeus already had Metis, the other side is still Zeus in the Battle of Titan a big help, Demeter consciously can not compete with her, they pressed the heart. Later, Metis fell, when she heard the news, Demeter admitted that her heart is actually a little bit of joy, so that means that he also has the opportunity to obtain the love of Zeus. But she soon after heard of the union of Zeus and Themis, the union with Mnemosyne, the union with Leto, and then later, it is Zeus made a big fanfare to his sister Hera, but was rejected by Hera, in order to get Hera, the king of the gods and even do not hesitate to play a conspiracy, transformed into a wounded cuckoo bird, begged for Hera's mercy, and in the process of overpowering her. He gave Hera unprecedented glory, promised her the supreme queen of the gods, but also shared half of the power in his own hands to her, Hera easily obtained all kinds of their own desire, all of which made Demeter crazy with jealousy. She could not understand, obviously her own beauty is not below Hera, compared to the capricious and arrogant Hera, she is more gentle and virtuous, why Zeus chose Hera instead of her? Demeter is really unwilling, it seems to become an obsession around the tip of her heart, she did not not move to seduce Zeus's mind, but the guardian of the marriage of Hera, with the king of the gods half of the authority of the Hera, the jealous Hera, her means is really chilling to the gods. The same was abandoned by the king of the gods is not willing to Leto did so, the results of how, was Hera heaven and earth wanted, so that pregnant with the son of the gods Leto no place to give birth, forcing the goddess of the starry night, Asteria depletion of origin incarnation of the island of Tilo for her to deliver the baby, Demeter instantly scared to put away the heart. But Zeus and Hera divorce, so that she originally has been silent heart and again rekindled, she saw the hope, so boldly came to the temple of the king of the gods to the king of the gods to recommend herself to the king of the gods, proved successful, the king of the gods are also enamored of her style, and she fell in love. Demeter felt that Zeus and himself are truly in love with each other, so they made this request. Unexpectedly, the king of the gods, who was smiling gently and fondly at her one second, his face became as prompt and sharp as that storm the next second. Amidst Demeter's dismayed gaze, Zeus released his arms around her and stood up, his tone unruffled. 'Demeter, you can enjoy the sweetness of love and favor from the king of the gods, and I will give glory to your godchild, but the position of the god queen, you should not even think about it, Hera will be my last god queen." 'Zeus!" Demeter looked incredulously at the king of the gods, unable to believe that these cold and unfeeling words were from the male god who had been warming up to her the previous second, 'Can't you see my sincerity towards you? Hera has left you, she doesn't love you anymore! The one who truly loves you is me! Can't you see that?" 'Shut up!" A thunderbolt slammed into Demeter's side, the God King's golden bed was scorched black, the gold turned into fluid and scattered on the ground, and the goddess looked horrified, trembling uncontrollably. She could feel that Zeus was really killing her ...... Broken hearted agricultural goddess covered her face and fled out of the divine king's hall, fled the divine mountain, and ran away on the earth, accompanied by her sadness, the plants on the earth have withered ...... Demeter's sad back figure running on the earth naturally couldn't hide from the eyes of the gods, just as Hebe expected, her hope of becoming the queen of the gods fell through, this earth mother's spokesperson's emotion infected the plants on the earth, making all the crops on the earth that had been growing happily wither all of a sudden. After a period of rest and recuperation, it was not easy to re-prosperous and strong human city states suddenly fell into a panic, the human beings on the earth do not know what happened, only know that this phenomenon must be related to the goddess of agriculture, Demeter. Humans hastily prepared bulls, cows, pigs, fruits, honey and other rich offerings, praying to be able to get the mercy of the goddess, so that life back to the earth, but immersed in grief Demeter has no time to pay attention to the prayers of the human race, but only in their own earth in the temple of the goddess weeping. Earth above the human see their own sacrifices to the god of agriculture to no avail, can not help but begin to anxious, now has reached the end of summer, will soon enter the stage of the fall harvest, there is no harvest of grain, relying on cattle and sheep alone how can human be able to get through the harsh winter? The rulers of the city state are also anxious about this, they have long been not the original generation of pure and flawless soul of mankind, stained with the dark side of human nature, they see the gods to their own sacrifices and prayers turned a deaf ear, and suddenly the heart can not help but to Demeter born a resentment, but forced by the majesty of the gods, but only in the bottom of their hearts do not dare to speak out. In these city-state rulers do not know what to do, that night they all coincidentally dreamed a dream, they dreamed of a goddess, that is a black hair and golden eyes of the goddess, she wore a long white dress, her arms holding a carved with the golden lilies of the box, beside a group of birds like butterflies like the Holy Spirit, so that people inexplicably give birth to a sense of affection as if to see their mother in general. The goddess in the dream smiled faintly, her golden eyes carried a reassuring warmth, as if they had a kind of magic that soothed the heart, so that these normally sensitive and suspicious rulers couldn't help but remove their defenses and develop trust and dependence on them. 'O rulers of the city-states, Demeter, the spokesman of the Earth Mother, is drowning in sorrow and ignoring the prayers of mankind, you need to find a new way out. I am Elpis, guardian of mankind, goddess of hope and prayer born from the faith of mankind, pray to me and I will give you hope of survival." In order to deal with Pandora, Hebe had taken away all the hope that had been collected in the divine box of Elpis, and this goddess had to continue to travel around the earth, granting wishes on behalf of people, and re-collecting hope, but this goddess had her own principles, and she would only pick out prayers that had a good heart to be granted, which reduced the progress of the collection of hope considerably. Now because of Demeter's negligence of duty, everything on the earth withered, such a rare opportunity, of course, Elpis will not miss, she immediately contacted the Pakos who is in the Underworld, let him go to find the god of sleep, Hypnos to borrow the authority to create dreams, one by one to manifest is too troublesome, Elpis directly with the rulers of the city states on the earth as the core bond, bet on the human beings to make a dream, let them pray to themselves to make the crops grow again, so that they could obtain food for the winter. For Hebe, who held the Summer Authority and the golden scepter of Wheat Point, reaching this small matter was really a matter of minutes and not worth mentioning. Compared to the gods of the divine mountain, the fame of Elpis, who was born on the earth and wandered around, was obviously not big enough. But the fame, the name of the gods and goddesses of the mountain do not take care of them, the nation has come to the survival of the opportunity, Elpis for them is the only straw, who cares about the origin of this god, how big the name, and immediately bowed to the goddess, pious to the goddess of their own desires, and prayed to the goddess of mercy. Elpis forced to hold back his laughter and cut off the dream connection with humans, his heart is simply happy, although a little unkind, but Demeter goddess, next time there is this kind of good thing continue to call me ah!
