Chapter 72 Protection
A burst of light bloomed from the lilies in the goddess's hands, and an exquisitely ornate box appeared in her hands, the very box that had once held her captive, she placed the lilies in her hands into the box, which emitted a burst of light, and a golden lily pattern emerged from her body.
'Born of vain hope, rooted in pure prayer and faith, I am Elpis, Goddess of Prayer and Hope, I will listen to the prayers of the living, O pious being, hope will come to you and fulfill your desires."
The goddess of prayer and hope was born silently in the midst of the earth, and on Mount Parnassus, Ducalion and Pyrrha finally penetrated the hints in the oracle of Zeus, and the two intelligent children of the gods soon realized that the mother mentioned in the oracle actually referred to the mother of all, Gaia, and that her bones, which were that earthly stones that can be found everywhere.
Ducalion and Pyrrha then followed the instructions of the oracle and both threw stones behind them at the same time. A thunderbolt flashed in the sky, and as soon as the hard stones hit the ground, they began to soften, slowly stripe, and gradually grow into human form.
The stone thrown by Ducalion became a man, and the stone thrown by Pyrrha became a woman, and they appeared in the world in pairs.
And in the middle of the Underworld, the silver-haired, gray-winged Original God of Death, Thanatos, looked at the mountain of souls and sea of souls that had suddenly multiplied again in front of him, and his teeth were all about to be clenched.
How long has this been going on? Has it been thirty years? The entire human race had perished? This group of heavenly deities on the divine mountain really shouldn't bully the gods too much!
Wait for him, when he finished the matter at hand, he would definitely go to the Mother Goddess's side to take them to task, this matter he, Thanatos, would not be finished with them!
He was not the only one who thought this way, all the gods in the Underworld had the same idea, when the matter at hand was slowed down, they would definitely go to the primordial gods to report to them!
'It's over! Get in line!"
'Be quiet! Anyone who makes any more noise will be thrown into the River Styx!"
The newly dead human race, because of the dark side of the earth before their deaths, had many vices tainted in their souls, and were much harder to control than the two groups of undead that had come to the Underworld before, and there were even undead that attempted to fight with the God of the Underworld?
This can really eat the bear heart leopard gall, the gods of the underworld was not a good temper, and happened to be in the heat of the moment, at that moment directly a whip will cause trouble to the soul of the direct annihilation, only to control the scene of the chaotic situation.
But a short while, the problem came again, the new arrival of the undead can not pass the bridge guarded by Charon, the reason is, these undead are all dead in the great flood, there is no one to organize a funeral for them, not to mention carry a silver coin to cross the bridge, can not pay the bridge toll of the undead crowded in the bridge head, a crowded piece.
Charon also stupid, where a group of poor people ah? On the first day he opened this bridge, there are people who want to cross the bridge? How can he lose face as the god of the bridge?
Just when the scene was once in a state of anxiety, two gods emitting ethereal light arrived in front of the bridge.
'Charon, let the undead cross the bridge first, the cost of crossing the bridge is first memorized, and naturally, there are gods who will be responsible for this." The ebony-feathered god of the Underworld Sun came to the bridge, and along with him, there was also the torch-wielding goddess of the Underworld Moon, Hecate.
As for who was responsible? These humans had died because of Zeus and Poseidon, and their bridge toll should certainly be paid by the two of them. He wasn't in a position to ask for it, there were always gods who had that ability.
'Good."
Pakos spoke up, and Charon naturally went ahead and released the Underbridge's blocking boundary to allow the undead to pass.
'Goddess Hecate, the undead will be left to your guidance for now, new humans have begun to be created above the earth, and I need to go to the Gate of Reincarnation and watch over it, so that there are no accidents."
'Good, you go, don't worry and leave this place to me." Hecate nodded, the Undermoon in the sky blossomed with a clear and ethereal light, the goddess flew to the followers of the undead, the torch in her hand lit up with a dazzling divine light , 'Undead who are new to the world, follow the guidance of the Undermoon and the light of the torch, it will lead you through the rest of your journey."
Guided by the light emanating from the goddess Hecate, the undead marched towards the Hall of the King of the Underworld, where Hades was located.
The black-haired, blue-eyed King of the Underworld sat on the skeleton throne, looking at the piece of gray undead, and swept the eye of the Hall of the King of the Underworld, the dozen or so human undead who had been promoted up to be the recording officer, his heart sighed with relief, fortunately, he had the foresight, otherwise it would be unthinkable. ......
Pakos flapped his ebony feathered wings and traveled all the way to the Reincarnation Temple, where the door of reincarnation shone with a golden blue light. After a short while, the platinum blonde long-haired Hypnos came flapping his white feathered wings.
'Guardian of the Gate of Reincarnation, God of the Stygian Sun, Pakos, in accordance with the oracle of the Goddess of the Night, I have sent over the souls to be reincarnated." Pakos, because of the authority of the Underworld Sun, was the god with the widest vision in the Underworld, and since Herb was not in the Underworld, Hades appointed him to guard the Gate of Reincarnation, preventing any ill-intentioned existences from advancing.
'Good, hard work, Hypnos." Pakos received the mass of souls from the hands of Hypnos.
These were the souls of the first generation of the Golden People, who had their memories washed away at the Oblivion Shrine's Lert Spring and changed back to their original postures, and after checking that there were no problems, Pakos raised his eyes to look at this god who was still on good terms with him, and with a light smile, he asked, 'Want to witness it together? The first creation of the Gate of Reincarnation."
'My pleasure."
Hypnos raised a smile, going back would be captured by His Majesty anyway, why not be happy to spend more time in the Reincarnation God's Temple to hide from the world.
Pakos nodded and threw out the souls in his hands, the souls that were like a ball of cotton fell to the ground and in the blink of an eye transformed into an illusory humanoid form. They had no face, no gender, just the purest gesture of the soul, and only after re-incarnation would the gender be generated within the new shell.
The process of reincarnation was very simple, without the need for the two gods to do anything more, those clueless souls were already spontaneously attracted by the greatness of life emanating from the Gate of Reincarnation and approached it.
One of the souls at the front of the line slowly approached the door of reincarnation, and the moment he touched the doorway, a golden-blue divine power was injected into his body, like a flame, using the death qi contained in his soul itself as nourishment, and the fire of life was ignited in an instant, and his soul was sucked into the vortex, disappearing into thin air.
With the first example, the other souls naturally followed suit and plunged into the Gate of Reincarnation.
On top of the earth, the man and woman behind Ducalion and Pyrrha, a touch of light surged from their eyebrows, the souls from the Underworld were injected into them, their eyelashes fluttered lightly, and they opened their eyes, their eyes were a scene of purity and curiosity, everything in the world was incomparably unfamiliar to them, and they were filled with curiosity about everything.
'Hahaha, good, this generation of the human race will be the most perfect servants of the gods."
Above the clouds, the King of the Gods looked at this group of human races that were tainted with his own divinity, his heart was very satisfied, when he gave them life with the vitality of thunder, he naturally did a little bit of tampering, this group of human races would naturally be close to him, recognizing him as the Greatest Father, and by then, among the Gods, whose faith would be the most powerful, what else is there to say?
The King of Gods was happy in his heart, he personally led the gods to descend from the clouds, his body emitting a soft divine light, manifesting miracles amongst the new generation of human races.
'Great King of the Gods, Zeus, thank you for giving the human race a new life. Merciful gods, your light is so dazzling, it is the hope you give that brings new life to the human race, I implore you to continue to protect us again and lead us to prosperity, let us offer you our most devout faith."
Ducalion knelt on the ground with his wife and the clan behind him, his face, somewhat haggard from suffering, was filled with devotion, and the newborn, clueless humanoids, followed their leader on their knees, though they didn't understand the significance of the gesture.
'Well, very well, the earth has been cleansed of its sins, and in a short time, the clouds will soon lift, the floods will recede, and the earth will receive you again. Ducalion, Pyrrha, as leaders of mankind, go and lead them to create a new life, teach them to believe in the gods, and the gods will provide you with shelter and help." The act of Ducalion leading the newborn human race towards himself pleased Zeus, and he waved the scepter in his hand and gave Ducalion and Pyrrha a torch, re-giving fire to the humans.
The power of the fire would allow them to gain a foothold on the earth more quickly and rebuild civilization in order to provide the gods with faith as soon as possible.
