Chapter 121 Wealth
'Hahahahaha, it's not that simple, I'll immediately go back and promulgate an oracle, so that the humans on the earth can pray together to wash away the curse on me!"
'If it's really that simple, then this curse doesn't deserve a divine king to come and personally lower it."
'It was the previous generation's God King! Watch your wording, Prometheus." Zeus was very displeased with his calling Kronos, who had already been overthrown by himself, a god-king; there was only one god-king in this world, and that was Zeus, the controller of his thunder!
'......" Prometheus really do not want to pay attention to this sudden drop wisdom entangled in this thing, continue to Woody said, "want to break the curse of the last generation of God King Kronos, relying on the existing number of human beings produced by the power of faith is far from enough The power of faith is far from enough, if there is not that great flood that destroyed the world, human reproduction to date, that number should be barely enough."
'......" means this matter is all on me? If you had told this news earlier I would have given the order to destroy them? I'm sure I'd have given them good food and drink in captivity.
'And thanks to your blessing, the disasters you have sent down on earth, the dark side you have unleashed, have tainted this generation of humans with bad habits as well, they are stupid, arrogant, selfish, and can produce pitifully little of the purest of faith, the Earth Mother has already withdrawn the gods' right of creation, so what are you going to do about it? King of the Gods."
Prometheus looked at Zeus with mockery on his face, all the evils that the king of the gods had once committed had now been turned into fallen rocks, blocking the river of his own transcendence.
'...... If you have something to say, just say it, slowpoke, do you want your brother to spend the rest of his life in Tartarus?"
Prometheus's words made Zeus not a little annoyed, he grimaced and looked at him angrily, a storm seemed to coalesce in his eyes.
'Education, mankind needs a god who can impart their knowledge, teach them the norms of behavior, and cultivate their good character, only by allowing them to overcome the dark side of their hearts will they be able to produce the supreme purity of faith that you need." Seeing Zeus eat his words Prometheus's mood only got a little better as he continued slowly.
'Education? Knowledge, codes of behavior, virtues?" Zeus pondered, then his eyes lit up, his daughter goddess of wisdom, Athena, has not been in the middle of their city-state to teach human knowledge, teach one is also teaching, teach a group of people is also teaching, so just leave this matter to her to do it.
There were also the Three Goddesses of the Sequence of Time, born to him and Themis, the Goddess of Justice and Law, the Horai who had held the power of Spring, Summer and Autumn for so long that he had almost forgotten that the original priesthood of these goddesses was not the seasons.
Eunomia, who was in charge of spring, represented order and was responsible for maintaining the stability of society; Dice, who was in charge of summer, represented fairness and justice and was responsible for maintaining the righteousness of mankind; and then there was Eirene in the fall, who was the embodiment of peace and wealth, and was able to keep mankind's peace of mind and enterprising spirit.
These three daughters, who were once disobedient because of their love for Helios, have become much more obedient after some hammering since Helios was put under house arrest in Rhodes.
Doesn't Zeus realize that the authority of the season has been usurped from Dice and Eirene? He was just too lazy to care, and used this to give these rebellious daughters a warning, Demeter also gave birth to the goddess of spring and seed, so it was only a matter of time before the authority of Eunomia was lost, and as their father god, it was only natural that he would have to arrange a good job for them.
In this case, they can go to the Underworld to ask their mother goddess, Themis, the goddess of justice and law, to write laws for human beings as the basis of restraining human behavior, and then they can supervise human beings on the earth, this kind of thing that is beneficial to both sides, I believe that Themis will not refuse.
Speaking of which, the nine Muses born to the Goddess of Memory, Mnemosyne, these goddesses of literature and inspiration, can also play a significant role in the development of human moral aesthetics, and will be sent to the earth to reform the human race!
There is also Arete, the goddess of virtue, who wears white and has a noble temperament. ......
As the king of the gods, Zeus was as familiar with the gods under his rule as he was with his own family, and at once made a long list of gods in his mind that he could use.
Prometheus how smart, a look at the expression of Zeus know for the human education problem this king of the gods already have an idea, his mouth hooked up a trace of imperceptible smile, but soon continued to look serious and said: 'But this is not enough."
'Not enough?" What can't you say all at once? You think it's funny to talk under your breath? 'My patience is limited, Prometheus."
'Don't be in a hurry, King of the Gods, this is the last point, and the most crucial for you to break the curse." Prometheus continued, 'Take a look, Zeus, with your cloud-piercing gaze, at how many independently ruled city-states there are on the earth now, and how many kings there are, whose beliefs often determine the beliefs of a nation, and by unifying the beliefs of these rulers, you unify the beliefs of the entire human community. What you need, is to cultivate one who can help you manage the entire human community, the King of Kings!"
'King of Kings? I am the King of the Heavenly Gods who controls humanity, and I still need other kings to manage humanity for me? It's simply laughable! Under my thunder, who would dare not obey my call and offer their faith?"
Prometheus, however, shook his head: 'The heart of fear does not produce the purest faith, only sincere intentions, the most positive energy, can wash away the dark curse on your body, so you need a king, who is born from humans, but is subordinate to the gods, you need to build up a momentum on his behalf, so that the humans will reverence and love him, only then will they be able to willingly reveal their purest faith. "
'King of the Gods, if it was really so simple to break the curse, why did your father god Kronos, whose divine power was no weaker than yours in the first place, meet his doomed end?"
'......"
Prometheus' words made Zeus fall silent, and he began to ponder, a king of kings, a king who both came from a human community and aspired to be a god in his heart, a hero whose reputation spread far and wide, and who was revered and loved by mankind ......?
Demigods!
In an instant, Zeus was enlightened, he understood where the key lay, he needed a human demigod with his bloodline, who would be born into the human community and gain their approval.
He would have the bloodline of the king of the gods, and be born with a physique and strength far beyond normal people, which would enable him to gain the respect and worship of others.
He will also be required to accomplish trials and tribulations that no ordinary man can accomplish, and in times of trouble, the gods will lend him a helping hand at his command, and he will be grateful to himself and admire him.
At the time of his success and fame, he himself will then personally ignite the divine fire in his bloodline for him, allowing him to transform into a god.
He would become the hub between himself and mankind, and under his leadership, he would offer himself supreme pure faith ......
'Hahaha! Prometheus, you truly live up to your name as a seer, and your wisdom and foresight truly amaze me. Don't worry, I will keep the promise between us, and if I am able to successfully get rid of the curse in the future, I will also consider setting you free, granting you glory, and letting you continue to come back to the God Mountain to assist me!"
The question that he had painstakingly pursued for many years was finally answered, the pleasure in Zeus's heart was beyond words, his laughter echoed in the Caucasus Mountain Range like loud thunder, and then the king of the gods hurriedly left this sentence and turned around to leave, he was going to go and properly pick out a suitable mother body for his future demigod heir.
'......"
Prometheus looked at Zeus's departing back and was silent, his gaze pale and the corner of his mouth slightly raised.
Go, Zeus, go and nurture mankind, go and create human heroes who can bring me freedom ......
Above a certain country of mankind, the sky was strewn with dark clouds, and thunder rumbled, it was Zeus, the king of the gods, searching for a new lover, as he gazed upon the humans of the earth, when suddenly, his eyes rested upon a tall tower made of brass.
This beautiful tower belonged to the king of the country called Argos, named Acrisios, this is an inspirational, diligent king, under his leadership, this country with inexhaustible copper ore is quite popular with the god of fire and forging Hephaestus, developed a high level of metallurgical technology, to create a huge wealth.
In addition to his wealth, the king had a beautiful daughter named Danae.
This princess was one of Aphrodite's greatest beauties, and since her childhood she had been favored by the old king, who regarded her as his treasure.
But everything changed drastically on the day when Danae came of age. After she came of age, Danae was so beautiful and mesmerizing like a rose in full bloom that the old king sent someone to the temple of Apollo, the god of the sun, to pray that the god of the sun would send down a good prophecy about his daughter.
