In the face of Athena's emotionless and cold rhetorical question, Apollo and Artemis froze and could not help but fall into deep thought.
The brother and sister became unusually quiet. For the first time, Yang Cheng felt that these two were not cynical gods, but old men who had lived for tens of thousands of years.
It seemed that from the eyes of the two, there were countless memories, countless thoughts, countless ups and downs.
In the mottled and rough years, they had witnessed too much, there were struggles, there were confusion …
In fact, Yang Cheng was also a little confused!
What did it mean? Apollo's strength … was less than 30%!?
Could it be that the power of the gods was not like this at the beginning!?
The cold wind was biting, the night was as dark as ink, and the atmosphere dropped to the freezing point.
After a long silence, Apollo suddenly sighed bitterly and said, "Athena, forget it … that's too crazy."
"Stupid." A trace of disappointment flashed in Athena's eyes, "Do you think that the earth is ours or the humans'?
In the universe, nothing is private. The powerful race should be above the weak ants!
Even if we don't destroy this planet, sooner or later, the inferior race of humans will drag their own planet into the valley of death.
Instead of leaving such a planet to such an inferior race to slowly consume, it's better to let our race rule its remaining lifespan … "
Artemis frowned and said, "Hey, Athena, why are you still so assertive?
Even if you revive Gaia's Heart, all the remaining gods restore their original strength, defeat that man, rescue Zeus, and occupy this planet, what's the use!?
Our clansmen are no longer here! Do we have to rely on these people to revive the entire race!? "
Athena looked at the brother and sister as if they were idiots.
"Don't put your single-celled thinking on me. Everything will be under my control.
The future will not change, you just need to stay quietly, wait for the day to restore your strength, and revive the race … "
"Could it be … your Great Prophecy sees the revival of the race?" Apollo asked incredulously.
A strange cold light flashed in Athena's eyes. She seemed to be conveying something to the siblings, but she did not say it out loud.
Apollo and Artemis looked at each other and saw a trace of complicated emotions in each other's eyes.
Athena didn't want to say more. She didn't have the mood to say more than a few words to her own kind that she had known for tens of thousands of years.
He glanced at Black Robe, who was standing at the side, and suddenly disappeared from the scene!
After Black Robe let out a few strange laughs, a black whirlwind swept away.
Yang Cheng didn't even have time to come back to his senses before he could no longer feel Athena's aura. The speed at which the Law of Space moved was so fast that it made people shudder.
"Damn it, the thing was still taken away. I can't face Zhenxiu now." Yang Cheng touched his face gloomily.
Stern and Alice seemed to be used to Athena's personality and were not too surprised.
Turning around, Stern asked curiously, "Hades, why are you here too? Did you have a conflict with Athena?"
"Not only did I have a conflict, I was also locked up for a while." Yang Cheng smiled bitterly.
Stern laughed and looked strangely at Yang Cheng with Alice.
"You've got guts. That woman isn't someone to be trifled with. She's temperamental and dictatorial, but no one can control her. You'll be lucky if you don't end up half-dead if you go against her," Stern said.
Yang Cheng curled his lips and hurriedly asked, "Don't say useless things. Tell me quickly, what is this' Gaia's Heart '? Why did you spend so much effort to hide it from Athena? Also, why did she say that your strength is less than thirty percent? "
Stern and Alice's expressions were troubled, and they remained silent, feeling a little sad.
Yang Cheng scratched his heart. "Hey, you don't have to be so mean. You still have to hide it from me? Athena said that I'm a member of the Protoss. "
Alice shook her head. "No, Hades, it's not that we don't treat you as one of our own. We, the Protoss, only look at the divinity, not the origin … Since you have inherited the divinity of the previous Hades, you are one of our own. "
"Then why are you still hiding it?"
"Because … it's too sad." Alice sighed. Her eyes were a little moist. "In short, don't force us to talk about Gaia's Heart. It has been tens of thousands of years. After we came to Earth, we didn't want to remember it anymore.
Don't worry, even if Athena got Gaia's Heart, it would be useless. Our strength is indeed related to Gaia's Heart, but if we could really get it back, we would have worked hard long ago. Now, it's useless for her to do so … "
Yang Cheng clearly felt that the siblings were unwilling to say more, but seeing how sad they were, he didn't have the heart to ask.
Come to think of it, Christine had never mentioned this. It seemed that it was indeed a long time ago, and it was a past that the Protoss were unwilling to talk about.
Although he was full of questions, Yang Cheng also knew that it was not the time to let his imagination run wild. Since he couldn't get anything out of them, he bid farewell to the two and returned to the ruins of the Swiss bank.
Zhenxiu and Park Cheon were still in the basement. He didn't know if they had escaped or not.
After Yang Chen left, Alice and Stern both heaved a sigh of relief.
"Dear, we hid it from Hades … Isn't it unfair to him …" Alice asked helplessly.
Stern patted his sister on the shoulder. "We have no choice. Since Athena told us not to disrupt her plan, the rest of us should cooperate with her.
I think if Poseidon and Aphrodite were here, they would choose to believe Athena like we did …
After all, Hades is still too young. He won't understand the pain of watching his people die one by one every day for a long time … "
Alice nodded gloomily. She looked down at the divine bow of Selene in her hand and pursed her lips into a smile. "Yes … Welcome back, my family …"
On the divine bow of Selene, a cold light flowed. The faint blue light seemed to be saying something …
…
Back outside the Swiss bank's storage building, Yang Cheng found that under Kim Jip's leadership, there were already people in charge of rescuing Park Cheon and Zhenxiu from the underground.
When the unconscious Park Cheon slowly regained consciousness, he was heartbroken at the loss of his family's heirloom. He felt that he had let down his ancestors and burst into tears on the spot!
When he stepped forward to thank Yang Cheng for saving his life, Yang Cheng was also embarrassed. Although his cultivation had improved by leaps and bounds, Athena's strength was still far above his current level. Catching up to her might not be something that could be done in a short period of time, so he could not help him retrieve the item.
Moreover, those were two items of the divine race. Although he did not know the specific purpose of Gaia's Heart, judging from how Athena valued it, there must be some secret behind it.
When Zhenxiu saw that Yang Cheng had returned safely, she breathed a sigh of relief.
She comforted her grandfather. The girl was not too sad. She did not believe in superstitious things like treasures to protect the family.
Back at the Park residence, Park Cheon quickly took sleeping pills and went to bed. Zhenxiu was also physically and mentally exhausted, so she went upstairs to sleep under Eunjung's care.
When Yang Cheng returned to his room, he saw Lin Ruoxi lying on the bed with the quilt wrapped around her. She pretended to be asleep. He did not know whether to laugh or cry as he sat on the mattress on the floor.
He did not speak to the woman and sat down quietly with his legs crossed.
When Lin Ruoxi noticed that Yang Cheng was not moving, she deliberately turned over to see what Yang Cheng was doing.
When she saw that Yang Cheng was meditating in the wee hours of the morning, she huffed, "Damn Yang Cheng, stinky Yang Cheng! You've been out for so long, why don't you tell me why?! "
Yang Cheng opened one eye and smiled evilly. "I was afraid of disturbing my wife's sleep."
"You know I'm waiting for you, don't play dumb!"
"Hehe," Yang Cheng said with a straight face, "It's nothing, Old Man Park was just scared …"
Yang Cheng briefly explained the situation but did not mention Athena so that Lin Ruoxi would not be worried. He only said that he had defeated the Black Robe and did not get the item back.
Lin Ruoxi blinked. "Why is there always a lot of strange things when I'm with you?"
Lin Ruoxi was used to such things. She opened her mouth and yawned before lying down again in a daze. She asked in a daze, "Why are you meditating? Aren't you going to sleep?"
Yang Cheng nodded and closed his eyes. "When I was fighting with the Black Robe, his True Yuan made me feel something … I want to feel it carefully …"
The black True Yuan in the black robe was a form of True Yuan that was extremely yin in the world. It also had a certain corrosive property. After being refined and decomposed by the Chaos Cauldron, it gave Yang Cheng a full taste.
This was similar to the "Netherwater" that Yang Cheng was still a little short of being able to experience.
Black Robe's cultivation must have far surpassed the Netherwater and should be around the Weak Water. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to suppress him without using the Chaos Cauldron.
Therefore, it was not strange for it to give Yang Cheng such inspiration.
When Yang Cheng was immersed in his own world, the second half of the night passed by unknowingly …
In the morning, Yang Cheng slowly opened his eyes. Then, he saw Lin Ruoxi lying on the bed beside him. She tilted her head and stared at him curiously with her watery eyes …
