Yang Cheng had never wished that his life was an illusion, that he had never appeared in this world. Even in the cruelest times of his childhood, his personality had never made him give up on his desire to live.
But now, Yang Cheng's eyes were emitting a faint aura of death. It was a kind of physical and mental exhaustion, a kind of collapse, a kind of defeat that corroded the roots of life.
Illusion, falsehood, hypocrisy. His life seemed to have lost its direction and meaning the moment the woman revealed her true face.
Yang Cheng let go of Athena and staggered two steps back, his legs a little weak. He stared at the woman in a daze, speechless.
Not far away, Aphrodite, who was already in tears, asked Artemis, "Hades … he seems to have known?"
Artemis nodded. "Probably. From what they said, Athena seems to have known that Hades knew about this. To think that we … kept hiding it from Hades."
"Hera, Hermes, one of you must have told him." Poseidon looked at the two main gods with a burning gaze.
Hermes chuckled and spread his hands. "I did. I told him a long time ago. But at the time, I wasn't sure if he believed me."
"Why are you doing this!?" Aphrodite said angrily.
Hermes smiled evilly. "Isn't it obvious? Even if Hades knew, he would still follow Athena's script. Because he doesn't want to believe the truth that I'm telling him. He doesn't want to believe that his wife has been toying with him all along.
In other words, if he gave up on Athena after knowing all this, it could only mean that Athena's plan had failed.
Don't you think it's interesting? Let him hold on to hope in his anxiety, until the bubble of his fantasy is blown … "
"Hermes, you've really gone too far …" Apollo frowned.
"Huh? I've gone too far? " Hermes sneered. "I've only added a little drama to all of this. I've added to the inner thoughts of the main character of this play. You hypocrites, if you're really on Hades's side, why did you hide all this? Compared to you, I'm not going too far. "
Hearing this, the other gods could only remain silent.
Indeed, all of this was destined. Unless Yang Cheng never had any true feelings for Lin Ruoxi, he would have come to this point regardless of whether he knew about the relationship between Lin Ruoxi and Athena.
Almost every step Athena took was for the sake of achieving today's goal.
To make a person who had the ability to change the revival of the God Race lose the possibility of going against the God Race.
Of course, if others knew about this, they would definitely think that Athena's actions were unnecessary. After all, with the strength of Athena and the other Overgods, killing Yang Cheng would be a piece of cake.
However, the gods did not think so.
Everything that Athena had done was not groundless. Because she was a woman who always saw more than others.
There had to be some undisclosed information in her Great Prophecy Spell, which was why she had to write this script and help Yang Cheng reach this point.
The gods had given Athena full trust, and the reality was, at least for now, that Athena did not let them down.
Yang Cheng no longer had the heart to continue fighting. The revival of the God Race was just around the corner.
After staring at Athena for a long time, Yang Cheng's expression became incomparably dull, as if he had lost his soul.
"Before I leave, I want to ask you something," Yang Cheng said weakly.
Athena seemed to have expected what Yang Cheng would ask. She gently stretched out her hand, and a dark, translucent, crystal-like crown-shaped object appeared above her palm. It was strangely surrounded by a dark, deathly aura.
"You want to ask how I can always hide myself and not reveal any flaws? This is the answer.
The previous Hades agreed to my request and followed my plan. He gave me the 'Helmet of Invisibility', and then according to my request, he let you obtain his divinity … This divine artifact can perfectly hide everything.
Unless I am willing, otherwise … no one will be able to discover my existence, and you will not be able to see my true face, "Athena said.
When the gods saw the appearance of the Helmet of Invisibility, they sighed. For the revival of the God Race, the previous Hades had indeed made a great sacrifice.
Of course, Hades himself did not reject this plan. He was indeed tired of his long life. This was all within Athena's prophecy.
Yang Cheng grinned bitterly. "No wonder … whether it was when you stole the divinity in the Holy Grail or the divinity in the Sword of Thanatos … I could not discover any flaws. What an amazing divine artifact … hehe …"
With a bitter smile, ignoring the gazes of the people around him, Yang Cheng slowly turned his back and left.
The man's silhouette looked extremely lonely, as if he would be blown away by the cold wind at any time.
Athena looked at all this with a slight frown, but she did not say anything.
On the contrary, Aphrodite could not help but come forward to persuade, "Athena, aren't you worried about Hades now?"
Athena closed her beautiful eyes and said quietly, "He just needs to be alone for a while. He will not go against us anymore."
"That's not the problem! I mean, don't you care about him?! "Aphrodite said sadly.
"Him?"
Athena opened her eyes, which had regained its icy coldness. "Everything I've done for the past twenty thousand years has been for the revival of the God Race, for today. This is me. Whether he accepts it or not, this is the unchangeable future."
"You …" Aphrodite wanted to say something, but she was so angry that she could not speak. She directly waved her hand. "I don't want to talk nonsense with you!"
Athena seemed to be in no mood to say anything. Her eyes were fixed on a divinity that was being nurtured on the Tree of Earth. She was slightly absent-minded, and no one knew what she was thinking.
The practitioners of Hua Xia, who had seen all this, hurriedly left the scene when they saw Yang Cheng leave.
The truth they had seen had shocked them so much that they did not dare to stay any longer, lest they die in vain.
However, the practitioners of the illusion were also distressed. They did not expect that the devil would rise ten times higher. Yang Cheng, the hope of mankind, had long been in the palm of Athena's hand.
No one in the world could make him kill his wife, the mother of his child.
The fate of mankind seemed to be pinched into a dead end again.
…
In the mysterious and pleasant independent space, there was a group of people watching everything that was happening.
Outside of Meng Xiaoyao's small building, a mirror that was as clear as the surface of the water was like a giant monitor, displaying all the images and sounds in the sky above the North Pole clearly.
Jane, who was sitting by the stone table, suddenly stood up from her seat when she saw that the real body of Athena was Lin Ruoxi.
At this moment, when she saw the back of Yang Cheng leaving, she was already sobbing and covering her face with her hands.
Jane was very clear about the importance of Lin Ruoxi to Yang Cheng.
In this world, it was the most painful to be hurt by the person you loved the most.
Jane seemed to feel the same, and her heart felt like it was being cut by a knife. She looked at Athena with eyes full of hatred.
Meng Xiaoyao, Li Xuemei, Yang Yuansu and his disciples, who had long known the inside story, and Yu Xuening, who had always been calm, seemed quite calm.
"This stupid boy, it's really hard to carve a rotten wood." Meng Xiaoyao sighed rather regretfully.
Yu Xuening glanced at him playfully, "Do you think everyone is like you, being rude to the person they love? Everyone is like you, cutting off the good thoughts, the evil thoughts, and the selfish thoughts? "
Meng Xiaoyao didn't care much about this ridicule and smiled slightly, "I also expected it. It's not so easy to cross that hurdle. Back then, I also saw the books left by the ancient immortals in the Tongtian Tower, and then I was enlightened … Forget it, I'll go in person, I only hope that he doesn't ruin his great cultivation … "
"Master …" Yang Yuansu asked respectfully at this time, "This time the Fire God has damaged the formation eye of the Celestial Demon Formation. It won't be long before Zeus and a large number of ancient demons will return to the world.
If Yang Cheng is reluctant to make a move against the Lord, then should we first stabilize the situation, lest the ancient demons destroy the living beings? "
Meng Xiaoyao said with a blank expression, "If Yang Cheng still doesn't understand this time, it can only mean that humans can't escape this disaster, it is really the will of heaven. A little earlier, a little later, more or less dead, it doesn't make any difference.
However, if you want to interfere, you can go ahead. The Primordial Fiendish Devils aren't demonic beasts or vicious beasts. Most of them are just some weak evil spirits of the netherworld. They can deal with mortals, but against cultivators, most of them aren't worth mentioning. "
Yang Yuansu and Li Xuemei were obviously slightly stunned. Although they knew that their master never cared much about human lives, they didn't expect that he didn't care to this extent!
Of course, it was not that Meng Xiaoyao was abnormal, but in his world, there was no such thing as good or evil, and there was no such thing as good or evil. All living beings had a meaning of existence, and at most, they had a trace of kinship with humans and a trace of respect for the ancient immortals.
Yu Xuening chuckled and said, "Meng Xiaoyao, you scared your disciples, hehe … They have followed you for more than two thousand years, but they still don't know you well enough. They can't stand it if you keep talking about things that go against the heavens in their eyes."
Meng Xiaoyao chuckled and didn't want to explain more. His figure flashed and disappeared from this side of the world.
