Chapter 71 - The Gate of Reincarnation

Really curious ah ...... The curiosity that has always been suppressed in the depths of her heart, under her uncontrollable pondering, kept breeding and surging, and the hand that had been rapidly weaving cloth gradually stopped. Pandora fumed in silence, somewhat disoriented eyes flickering with struggle and hesitation, full of thoughts she could not help but murmur: 'It should be no problem to just take a look ...... right! Just sneak open a crack, take a look at what's inside and immediately close it!" The vigilance given to her by Hebe, the goddess of life, pulsed wildly, howling for her not to go, yet this time it failed, the curiosity given to her by Zeus exploded in all these years of repression, wearing away all patience and vigilance in a moment, it mesmerized Pandora's eyes and drove her towards the box. Pandora, the absolute beauty created by the gods, opened that box in this intense to maddening curiosity, gasping for air under her breath, her emerald green eyes peering curiously and nervously into the interior of the box, wanting to see what this mysterious gift that had tormented her for years actually looked like. But before she could get a good look, a black smoke that emitted an unpleasant stench rose up from the box, lifting the lid and quickly filling and overflowing the entire room. The black smoke quickly fled to the outside of the house, spreading across the sky like a dark cloud, and the insanity, sin, jealousy, adultery, plunder, greed, and all sorts of calamities that Zeus had hidden in the box spread in all directions along with the black smoke, and the entire earth was enveloped by this unprecedented doom in an instant. 'Ah!" Panicked Pandora saw the big bad, hastily closed the box, she ran to the outside of the house, but saw the dark clouds cover the sky, she saw the originally very kind people's eyes became red, they began to quarrel, fighting, until one party died to be willing to stop, the victor instead of not half of the fear of the killings and guilt, but openly and wildly laughed. She saw the original calm and peaceful city-state turned into a hellish scorched earth, with all kinds of evil and ugliness constantly growing. She saw famine, pestilence, disease, and all sorts of disasters sweeping the land. 'No! How could this happen!" Pandora's face turned pale, her streaming eyes lost its original luster, and she collapsed to the ground, her trepidation causing her to fall into a stupor, as two lines of clear tears spilled out of her eyes and slid down. Finished, everything is finished ...... because of that stupid curiosity, her own hands pushed the human race to the road of extinction, she is the sinner of the human race! Pandora returned to the house in a state of disorientation, the sharp glow of the scissors on the table attracted her attention, she looked at it in a daze. Curiosity... Blame it on this damn curiosity... Blame it on this damn curiosity! With despair in her eyes, Pandora violently picked up the scissors on the table and stabbed them towards her heart. Pools of blood flowed out from the wound, although she was the most perfect woman that the gods had poured their efforts into creating, she was not immortal, this beauty whose splendor was almost comparable to Aphrodite's, just like this, ended her life in sin. Everything that happened on earth, naturally could not be hidden from the eyes of the gods on the divine mountain, the chaos on earth made Hestia, the goddess of hearth and fire and family, was also forced to return to the divine mountain, her face was unprecedentedly furious, because those sins unleashed by Zeus rippled out not only to human beings, but also to the other living beings on the earth, and some of the weakly-powered Nymphs were also affected by that dark side, and corrupted to become banshees. 'Zeus! You've gone too far! All those evils you unleashed have caused chaos on the earth, aren't you afraid that Goddess Gaia will be held accountable?" With fire in her eyes, Hestia grilled her brother, the king of the gods. 'Hestia, my selfless and great sister, how is it that I unleashed this? Those sins were clearly released by Pandora, I shut the sins of the earth in a box and gave it to her for safekeeping, I told her a thousand times not to open it, and she herself opened the magic box privately, if not for the fact that she was afraid of committing a crime, I would have to catch her here on God's Mountain to ask for her crimes." The blonde-haired God King sat on top of the God King's Throne, his gaze flatly looking at the Goddess who was in full fury. '...... Zeus, sooner or later you will pay for today's atrocities." Zeus' shameless words rendered Hestia speechless, and the goddess, her eyes showing disappointment, turned away without hesitation. Zeus looked at Hestia's back, his complexion obscure, and then he stood up and called the gods to come above the dark clouds, looking down on the earth from the clouds, looking at the suffering of the beings under the clouds in an ornamental posture. Hebe was naturally among the gods, Hera, Ares and Hephaestus all looked at her with hidden concern, they always knew that humans have always been special in Hebe's heart, for fear that she would not be able to accept the destruction of her creation at the hands of Zeus. Hebe pulled out a smile and shook her head slightly at them to show that she was fine, that there was still hope for humanity and that death was just the beginning. 'It is time, Poseidon, to cleanse the earth of its sins." Zeus said in a deep voice to Poseidon as he looked at the devastated earth. 'Hmm." Poseidon nodded his head, and the divine weapon trident containing the power of the ocean appeared in his hand, and the earth-shaking god wielded his divine power to bring the last catastrophe for this generation of mankind - the annihilating Great Flood. 'O sea, wash the filth above the earth!" As the voice of the Sea King fell, the trident in his hand emitted an azure divine light, the ocean shook, raging waves rose up to the sky, and a huge and relentless tsunami swept across the earth in no time, drowning and killing all living beings on the earth. Under the tsunami caused by Poseidon, the earth was soon 'cleaned". Only the ark carrying Pyrrha and Ducalion was left floating in the vast expanse of water. For these two fish that escaped the net, Zeus not only did not kill them, but also ordered the gods to escort them, after all, this is the 'hope" that they left for mankind, but also the next pawn in the creation of human beings. Pyrrha and Deucalion floated in the water for nine days and nine nights, and finally on the ninth day the ark ran aground on Mount Parnassus near Delphi. Deucalion and Pyrrha were so excited to set foot once again on the rich and serene land after the disaster that they almost shed tears, yet as they looked at the earth that had been empty from the two sons and daughters of the two gods, they could not stop a wave of unprecedented sadness from rising within them; everyone was dead, and only the two of them, themselves and Deucalion/Pyrrha, were left. The red-haired Pyrrha sat on her knees, holding her mother's relics that she had picked up in the flood, the magic box that had brought about the disaster, and the beautiful young girl's transparent tears dripped down on the exquisite and incomparable lid of the magic box. The magic box in this instant emitted a soft halo, it from the girl's embrace to break free, suspended in mid-air, to the following two dumbfounded men and women slowly opened their own lid. It was the last gift that had been locked in the box by Pandora before it had a chance to fly out - hope. The green leaf bearing the hope hovered in mid-air, and an oracle from the King of the Gods came forth, 'Protect your heads, then throw your mother's bones behind you." This generation of humans would be born under the personal guidance of this king of the gods. Over here, Deucalion and Pyrrha were still attending to the mysteries of the oracle, while the green leaves of hope drifted away into the distance with the wind after finishing Zeus's oracle, no god cared about this vain hope, except for Hebe. 'Pakos!' In the middle of the Underworld, the god with ebony feathers sat in his temple, the magnificent and unusual jasper scepter in front of him emanating an aura of life that was out of place. Sensing the command of the main body, Pakos operated his divine power, and took out a light golden crystal from the jewel at the head of the scepter, the energy of which was incomparably solid, and at a closer look it was as if he was able to see countless bird-like and butterfly-like spirits fluttering around, and if he listened carefully, he was able to hear the sound of prayers and supplications. This is so many years of humanity for Hebe's contribution to the faith, she did not absorb, but they will be collected in their own scepter of life, now Zeus in order to create a new human belonging to his own, the hope will be taken out, just can still be used for her, she wants to use these beliefs, mixed with that illusory hope, to create a goddess! 'Go on!" Pakos directly threw that crystallized human faith into the Gate of Reincarnation, using the authority of the Lord of Reincarnation to send it to earth. The green leaf of hope that was still wandering around on earth drifted down unexpectedly in an unknown valley, a ripple of space flooded the area, and the pale golden crystallization suddenly appeared and collided with this faint hope. Majestic as an ocean of faith power surged into the hope, the divine light of hope blossomed violently, the divine fire was ignited, and the consciousness began to awaken. In a dazzling but soft light golden light, a young goddess wearing a white dress and holding a lily leapt out, born from the faith and hope of mankind, her black rolls representing the confusion and dilemma in front of her, and her golden eyes like hope looking into the future, followed by a group of Holy Spirits transformed by faith, butterfly-like and bird-like luvvies.
