After a moment of silence, Demetrius changed the topic. "I heard that you sacrificed to Hera in Crete?"
"Yes. Even if the gods brought me bad luck, as a human, I have to maintain my respect for the gods." Pei Zi Yun said.
"Is that so? But do you know that this will not save your fate? The gods do not want a hero who has completed ten great merits. "
"Everyone has to die. Die on a sickbed or die on the battlefield. I would rather die on the battlefield." Pei Zi Yun said. He looked at the information interface and saw that there were no changes. Knowing that this was not enough, he continued, "But even if the great Zeus wants me to die, I will still pick up my sword and spear, and fight against him."
Pei Zi Yun said.
Demetrius revealed a mysterious smile and said, "You are right. Go, I will protect you in secret."
The information interface moved. Pei Zi Yun heaved a sigh of relief. He knew that his words were not in vain. He left without hesitation. The priestess' senses were telling him that this was not normal.
Pei Zi Yun bade farewell to Demetrius and the priestess. He left the temple and boarded the carriage. He wiped the sweat off his forehead. The weak woman just now had a majestic gaze.
"One of them is a lady who once descended."
"The other one is unfamiliar, but her aura is similar to that of the temple."
"If the unfamiliar one is Hecate, then who is the one who asked the question?"
In the room, Demetrius fell into a long period of reminiscence after Pei Zi Yun left. The light of the whale wax candle flickered and extinguished.
Almost at the same time, a teardrop fell from the corner of her eye. She closed her eyes forever.
However, the moment she died, three shadows appeared in the room. Two of them were huge. One of them grabbed a soul and said to the other, "Great Mother of the Gods, I obey your orders, but this is as far as I can help you."
"This is good enough," the goddess replied. "It's better than those rebellious gods."
Her gaze passed through the layers of obstacles and landed on Pei Zi Yun. She saw that he was giving the order to set sail, and the next stop was Sparta.
Port of Crete.
Pei Zi Yun did not stop, and immediately gave the order to set sail. Water and rations had already been replenished, but there was no need to replenish the goods. The captain gave the order, and the crew immediately started moving.
After Pei Zi Yun gave the order to head to Sparta, he fell into deep thought.
Now that everything had been done and the sacrifices to the gods had been given, the next step was to see if the changes to the plan could achieve the desired results. He also felt that the day when the plan was unraveled was getting closer and closer.
Mount Olympus
When the Gods saw that Pei Zi Yun was about to head towards Sparta, they all had different expressions on their faces. They knew that this was the most crucial part of the script.
Hera looked down and saw all this. She came to Zeus and said, "O terrible god, son of Cronus, dear Zeus, tell me, what is your decision?"
"What would you like to hear, Hera?" Zeus replied, "Haven't you already decided, with my consent, to let Prince Paris start this war?"
Hera was very satisfied. She turned around and said, "It's time to do something. Let the Spartan King, Helen's husband, Menelaus, leave with his fleet and soldiers. Otherwise, with just Paris's men, they may not be able to complete the task of robbing Helen. "
"As you wish." Hermes listened. He was a young man wearing a simple white tunic with a gold and jade belt around his waist. A short sword hung from his waist, and he wore shoes on his feet. The small wings on both sides of his ankles began to flap.
This was the signal to start.
Looking at Hermes leave, Zeus was deep in thought.
The blue sea was turbulent, and a fleet was riding the wind and breaking the waves.
Pei Zi Yun stood at the front of the deck of the warship and looked at the blue sea. The deep blue sky seemed to connect with it, as if it was the end of the sky.
Thinking back to what had happened during this period of time, and using the priestess's senses to feel it, it felt different.
"The eyes of the gods are on me."
He got closer and closer to Sparta, but the closer he got to Sparta, the more he felt the gazes of the gods.
If he looked closely, these gazes included Zeus, Hera, Athena, Apollo, Artemis, and so on. All the gods who were involved were paying attention to him.
"It seems that the gods are very concerned about what happened to me in Sparta, and the most important thing in Sparta is to kidnap Helen, so that the Greeks would be righteous enough to unite against Troy."
"This script has been arranged by the gods for many years. Let's not talk about the Golden Apple, the most important thing is Helen — hmph, when Helen got married, King Odysseus of Itachi suggested that all the princes present must swear to protect Helen and form an alliance with her husband against those who tried to harm the marriage."
"Why can so many city-states unite against Troy? It's because during the wedding, everyone swore an oath. So when Prince Paris robbed Helen, they had no choice but to go into battle."
"This is an oath made to the gods."
"So, at the latest, when Helen got married, the script was written, and Odysseus was the executioner. Intentionally or unintentionally, everyone forgot that everyone swore an oath except for him, and he was able to escape unscathed."
"It seems that the gods have helped me dig the hole in front of me." Pei Zi Yun thought and shouted, "System!"
With this thought, a Plum Blossom appeared in front of him and quickly enlarged, turning into a translucent information interface. It floated in front of him with a faint sense of light, and data appeared in front of him.
"Explain your position to Medea without reservation (Completed)"
"Hero's Bloodline: Second Tier (155.7%)"
"After absorbing all the Bearman and reputation points, I have more than enough to level up. It's just that the gods are very sensitive to power. If I level up at this point, I would be seeking death."
"But Fate Points don't matter."
Thinking of this, he pressed on the button, and another Fate Point appeared. "Now I have a total of 7 Fate Points. Using 1 Fate Point to level up as a Priestess has given me another useful skill. This way, when the gods are spying on me, they will know about me, and I won't have to worry about my secrets being leaked."
"Other than leveling up, although I don't know what other uses Fate Points have, I can feel that they are very precious, and I have to use them sparingly."
At this point, the information interface changed again.
"No matter how hard you try to hide yourself, your brilliance will attract the attention of the gods. Accept the challenge of Fate, and let your performance move the gods."
"I can't hide it anymore?"
Pei Zi Yun thought to himself, and then revealed a smile. "Since I can't hide it anymore, then I shall perform to my heart's content."
"No matter how good Fate Points are, I can't be as frugal as a miser. There are still some things that I haven't understood. I need to know the truth about the Battle of Troy, and the truth about the gods."
"Otherwise, I won't even know how I died." Thinking up to this point, Pei Zi Yun did not hesitate to press down on a Fate Point. As the first Fate Point disappeared, all of a sudden, the fog that enveloped the entire world dissipated, and a sense of enlightenment surged into his heart.
Pei Zi Yun stood on the deck of the ship, and muttered to himself, "I've finally understood the truth about the Battle of Troy."
"In my previous life, when I read about the Battle of Troy, I found something strange. In the first part of the Battle of Troy, the gods who originally supported the Greek gods started to attack the Greek people."
"When the two sons of Zeus, Helen's two elder brothers, Castor and Polydeuces, heard the news of their sister's death, they immediately set sail and gave chase. They were already nearing the Leesburg Island on the coast of Troy."
"The two of them were the heroes of the previous generation, and also Zeus. They were in the prime of their lives, and were extremely powerful. Unexpectedly, they encountered a storm, and their ship went missing."
"Why did they kill the sons of Zeus right from the start? This severely weakened the strength of the Greek people! "
"Not only this, but also the commander of the entire Greek fleet, Agamemnon, went out to hunt and kill the Goddess Artemis's sika deer. This caused the 100,000 soldiers to be unable to leave the port!"
"Also, there was Philoctetes. He was the son of the King of Meriboa, and was also a comrade of Hercules. He inherited Hercules' archery skills. This pious hero wanted to sacrifice himself to the Greek goddess, but was bitten by a snake. Hence, the Greeks abandoned this unfortunate archer, Philoctetes, on a deserted island."
"Furthermore, the King of Misea was also a Greek. His name was Telephos, and he was the son of Hercules and Ogo. However, he clashed with the Greek fleet, and Telephos sustained a wound that was difficult to heal. The whole of Misea then withdrew from the Greek camp."
Pei Zi Yun was able to see through all of this.
"In the Greek camp, the true wise man was Palamedes. Compared to the clever Odysseus, this man was said to have invented numbers, scales, measuring devices, calendars, and lighthouses. However, he was the first to be killed by a very simple trick."
"What are the gods doing? They are trying their best to weaken the Greeks!"
"Why weaken them? Because in this war, almost all the heroes of the Greek city-states had to be involved. Agamemnon had to become the commander of the entire Greek army. However, the entire Greek army was too strong compared to Troy. "
"What Zeus wanted was not to destroy Troy in one fell swoop, but to completely eliminate the heroes. Hence, a war of attrition was what Zeus was happy to see. Hence, the script of fate was for the gods to protect Troy, and to cause trouble for the Greeks. Only when they were almost all dead did they give the Greeks a pyrrhic victory. Troy had to be destroyed."
"Now, with my hard work and schemes, I have weakened the Greek army in advance. However, it has not caused the balance of power to be lost. This way, the gods do not have to resort to underhanded means. This is in line with Zeus' intentions. This way, the gods can eliminate the heroes without any bloodshed."
"However, this is also in line with my intentions. The Greeks will attack Troy in batches. This way, I will be able to harvest the heroes more efficiently and quickly increase my strength."
"Now that I know the bottom line of the gods, I can step on it and dance."
"As for the more outstanding one's performance, the more likely they will be eliminated. Hehe, according to the legends, Prince Paris was very timid. However, when he was targeted by Hera, he still died!"
"Hence, even a mediocre person cannot avoid the fate of death."
"If a god wants to kill me, I will die. If a few gods want to kill me, they will also die. Now that my performance is outstanding, although I might become a target for elimination, the more outstanding I am, the more likely I will become a pawn for the gods or Zeus to eliminate the heroes. This is actually safer, except at the very last moment."
"Originally, I had already seen through most of it. The Point of Destiny has allowed me to see through everything."
