"There are many tests, but if you really want to talk about it, it's actually very simple. You just have to stand on the side of Mount Olympus and make some great contributions — for example, thwarting one of Gaia's operations or killing an exiled Titan."
"So that's how it is." Pei Zi Yun immediately understood. "What if I fail?"
"After you become a God, you will not be killed. But if you fail, you will be banished to the borders." The phantom lady said. "So what's your choice?"
Pei Zi Yun asked. "Is the British Isles the borders?"
"Of course!" The phantom lady relaxed her brows and smiled.
"Then I shall be a self-banished person. I don't want to commit the crime of killing a Titan. Although they have lost their Godhood, they can only be considered giants."
"I respect your choice." The phantom lady smiled. "Alright, I've told you everything I need to. See you next time."
As soon as she finished speaking, the phantom lady disappeared once again.
'She is basically neutral, but to a certain extent, she is still on Gaia's side.' Pei Zi Yun retracted his smile. He could feel the shadow and heaviness that had been hanging over him earlier slowly dissipating as he thought to himself.
'Furthermore, I'm speaking the truth. Even if I am accepted by Mount Olympus, I will still be considered an anomaly. There is little room for me to advance. In other words, there is not much to gain from currying favor with Mount Olympus.'
'Most importantly, I won't be able to stay in this world for long. Why should I get involved in their internal strife?'
'Now, the most important thing is to hurry to the Holy Garden and obtain the Golden Apple Tree.' Pei Zi Yun continued to steer the boat towards the sea.
On the surface of the sea, the waves continued to churn. White waves splashed onto the deck of the boat that Pei Zi Yun was standing on.
The boat floated in the waves, moving up and down at an incredible speed. It sliced through the waves as it sped towards its destination.
Pei Zi Yun seemed to be nailed to the deck. No matter how the boat swayed, it did not affect him at all. Even when the waves subsided, his clothes and shoes were still dry.
If he was hungry, there was water, wine and dried meat in the cabin. Although it was not much, it was more than enough for one person.
After an unknown period of time, the small boat finally appeared in front of a stretch of coastline. Following which, it sped towards the shore at an incredible speed. Pei Zi Yun jumped down from the small boat and stepped onto a clean, white beach.
"We've arrived at Sertis Bay."
"This is the place where Hercules and the Argonauts once arrived." Pei Zi Yun's feet landed on the soft sand. The sand was pure white and reflected the sunlight.
The beach was surrounded by several rock walls, and he couldn't see into the distance. He stepped on the white sand and slowly walked out of the rock wall.
As he walked deeper into the bay, he suddenly found himself in a desert. The yellow sand stretched as far as the eye could see, with no end in sight.
Facing the boundless desert, Pei Zi Yun felt helpless. There was no better route to take. This was the only way to get to his destination. He could only walk into the desert.
"The hero of the Argonauts crossed the desert in twelve days."
"But I can use it for three or four days." This was because there was a gust of wind supporting him at all times, causing his feet to only leave shallow footprints on the sand, and not sink into the sand.
After walking for a while, Pei Zi Yun realized that the desert was really barren. There were no wild beasts, nor were there any birds. He had no choice but to continue walking.
After walking for a long time, he still couldn't see the end of the desert. He was also running out of water.
All of a sudden, Pei Zi Yun saw a beautiful color in front of him. Looking up, he realized that in this dry and desolate desert, there were a few fairies playing around.
"Is this a mirage? No, it's not that. I can clearly feel that these are real fairies. "However, with Pei Zi Yun's current strength, he didn't care much about it and continued walking.
These fairies were all very beautiful, and were dressed very intricately. They were dressed in chiffon garments, and their hair was adorned with exquisite jewelry.
As he continued walking, he got closer to these fairies and frowned.
"This kind of power, are they the Star Gods?"
"They seem to be the descendants of Hesperus."
Hesperus was described as the deity who controlled the rising of Venus at dusk. However, in Greek mythology, the Star Gods were secondary deities, and were not important.
"So these fairies are the descendants of Hesperus. But why would they appear in this desert?" Pei Zi Yun thought to himself.
He didn't think too much about these reasons, and continued walking. His goal was very clear, and that was to kill Typhon and steal the Golden Apple Tree.
The fairies watched as Pei Zi Yun walked past them. They didn't stop, and neither did they speak up. They just pretended that they didn't exist, and their faces revealed strange expressions.
They were all very beautiful, so why was this person able to ignore their existence?
Seeing that Pei Zi Yun was about to walk past them, the fairies gestured to each other. Out of all the fairies, Egler was the prettiest, and was chosen by the fairies to be in charge of communicating with Pei Zi Yun.
Egler looked at Pei Zi Yun, who had been walking for a long time, and looked a little haggard. She said, "Poor outsider, you must be thirsty after such a long journey!"
The fairies' sudden words caused Pei Zi Yun to feel a little strange. He didn't think that he had the charm to make these fairies wait for him here.
But he didn't dwell on it, and replied, "Beautiful fairies, I've been walking in the desert for a long time. Other than sand, I haven't seen anything else, and there's no water source either. I'm indeed thirsty."
"Do you know where there's sweet spring water? If you bring me there, I'll pay you. "
Fairy Egler didn't answer Pei Zi Yun directly, but continued to speak.
"I once saw a brave bandit. He killed the dragon that was guarding the Golden Apple Tree, and stole the Golden Apple. He also came out of the desert, and because he was thirsty, and couldn't find any water, he kicked a rock wall."
Pei Zi Yun knew that she was talking about Hercules' experience when he stole the Golden Apple. He knew this too, but he didn't interrupt her.
"It's strange, but when he kicked the rock wall, a cool spring water flowed out. The spring water that flowed out was so sweet, and it saved the bandit's life."
"Ever since the bandit left, the spring water didn't dry up. It even formed an oasis. I know where it is. Seeing how difficult it is for you to walk in the desert, I can bring you to the spring."
"Thank you very much, beautiful fairy." Pei Zi Yun didn't expect these fairies to be so generous. He thanked them and followed them to the source of the spring water.
Pei Zi Yun followed the fairy for a while, and saw a patch of green in the distance. That was the boundary between the desert and the oasis.
He saw the oasis, and his heart skipped a beat. He quickened his steps and continued forward. Before long, a large oasis appeared in front of him.
"This is the Holy Garden." Pei Zi Yun didn't need any proof. Just by stepping into it, he could feel that this was the Holy Garden.
Pei Zi Yun had traveled through mountains and rivers, and crossed the desert. He had searched for so long, just to find the Holy Garden. The Golden Apple Tree was in this Holy Garden.
Thinking of this, Pei Zi Yun stopped in his tracks. "Typhon is guarding the Golden Apple Tree. Since this is the Holy Garden where the Golden Apple Tree is, Typhon shouldn't be far from here."
However, he didn't see anyone.
Pei Zi Yun activated the Priestess's senses and searched his surroundings. Very quickly, he found something strange, but he didn't say anything. He continued following the fairy until he saw the spring water.
The gurgling spring water was a temptation that thirsty travelers in the desert couldn't resist.
Egler led Pei Zi Yun all the way here. She saw the spring water and said to Pei Zi Yun, "Poor man, you've endured hunger and thirst in the desert for so long. Now you can drink the sweet spring water to your heart's content."
Pei Zi Yun looked at the spring water, and his eyes flashed. Without hesitation, he stepped forward and gulped down the spring water.
Fairy Eggler watched as Pei Zi Yun drank without any signs of alertness, and sighed to herself.
Pei Zi Yun drank for a while, and felt tired. His head tilted to one side, and he fell asleep. He even started snoring.
The fairies looked at this, as if they had expected this.
"Hahaha." At this moment, a burst of laughter rang out. A giant suddenly appeared. This giant's body was covered with snakes that kept flicking their tongues. It was Typhon.
Typhon laughed, "You despicable man. I've heard that you're resourceful, and even defeated the Greeks. Aren't you very smart?"
"Now you've drunk the spring water that I've carefully prepared for you. I've sprinkled some medicine in it, and it can make you unconscious. Hahaha."
"You're just a mortal, and you want to become a god?"
Typhon laughed proudly, and stepped forward. He was about to kill the unconscious Pei Zi Yun, while the fairies ran away in panic.
At this moment, three arrows were shot out, and the sharp whistling sound carried the aura of death as they flew towards the unprepared Typhon.
Typhon was not prepared. When he saw the arrows, they were already in front of him. He roared and raised his hands and snake heads to resist. But there were only three "pu pu pu" sounds, and the three arrows hit Typhon's hands and face almost at the same time. The arrows only broke the skin of Typhon's palms and face, and a little blood flowed out, but they could not advance any further.
But Typhon roared again and again. He had not been injured for a long time, and at this time, he was injured by Pei Zi Yun's arrows. More importantly, he felt that his dignity had been insulted. Originally, he had planned to deal with Pei Zi Yun, but in the end, Pei Zi Yun beat him at his own game.
"Damned thief, you will pay a heavy price for your actions," Typhon roared angrily.
Just as Typhon roared, Pei Zi Yun jumped out and laughed at Typhon, "Typhon, you're really too smart. If you attacked me in the desert, you might have had the advantage. But now you're trying to force the fairies to lure me into drinking the spring water, and you've fallen into my trap."
As he said this, he tore off his outer cover, revealing his fully armed body, and even took out his double-sided axe.
When Typhon saw this, his face was gloomy, and his snake head kept swaying, showing that he was not calm. He stared angrily at Pei Zi Yun and said, "Even without a plan, I can still kill you. Your arrows are so weak."
As he said this, Typhon roared and pounced towards Pei Zi Yun.
Pei Zi Yun shook his head and said, "Typhon, today I will send you to the domain of Hades."
