Under the lead of the Cyclops Priest, the group passed through the forest and the territories of all sorts of dangerous creatures. They arrived before a collapsed palace. It could be seen that this palace used to be majestic, but now, there was only an inexplicable sense of desolation left in it.
The cyclops priest silently bowed to Chu Hao. Chu Hao nodded slightly and said to the shocked nobles and soldiers, as well as Zhang Heng, who was looking curiously at the cyclops, "Let's go. The Fire God is under the ruins of this temple. Find him, and we will have completed half of this mission."
The nobles and soldiers did not ask what the other half was. To be honest, the encounter last night had made them so shocked that they did not even want to speak. They just followed behind Chu Hao mechanically. Just like that, the group walked down a tunnel. As they walked, Zhang Heng suddenly laughed unnaturally and said, "Walking down this tunnel reminds me of some bad memories … For example, giving injections to other people or something … Okay, injecting other dragons or something …"
"Hmm? What do you mean? "Chu Hao asked curiously.
"No, nothing else … It's just a bad memory …"
As the two of them were talking, a voice suddenly came from the tunnel. It was the voice of an old man excitedly.
Zeus, Poseidon, I knew you couldn't leave me. Yes, I'm the God of Fire. I'm the greatest craftsman who forged all your weapons. I knew you couldn't bear to part with me. You'll come to me eventually, right? "
As he spoke, the sound of hurried footsteps came from the tunnel. In the midst of the movement, the group saw a sloppy old man rushing out from the underground. As he ran, he shouted loudly, "I see you all. Don't hide, don't hide. It's you all, my brothers. I really miss you all."
The old man hurriedly ran to the group. His footsteps were still staggering, but his excitement was obvious. However, gradually, his footsteps became slower and slower. When he reached the group, he had completely stopped. There was only sadness and despair on his face.
"So … It was all my wishful thinking … Boys, who are you all? I smell the traces of a god on one of you. Are you the son of that god? Is it that demigod? "The old man straightened his unkempt clothes and tried his best to act like he was a god.
The rest of the group looked at Chu Hao, and Chu Hao stepped forward and smiled. "It's a little complicated. We'd better sit down and have a good talk about the Olympian gods, about your divine position, about … everything in this world."
It had to be said that although Vulcan had been demoted to a mortal by Zeus, he was once one of the Olympian gods in this world. No matter how unhappy Zeus was with him, he would not really let him live with mortals because in the eyes of the gods, mortals and gods were creatures of two different dimensions. If Vulcan really lived with mortals, it would undoubtedly be an insult to the identity of the gods. Therefore, after Zeus demoted Vulcan to the mortal world, he put him under house arrest on this island. However, he also let the Cyclops, who were mortal creatures, serve him. Therefore, although he looked down on the world, he actually lived much better than most humans and even nobles in this era. The reason why he was so sloppy was because of his character and living habits. In fact, he did not have to worry about food and drink, and he had the Cyclops to find various minerals and materials for him. To put it bluntly, except for him who was not a god, his life was actually quite good.
When Chu Hao and the others followed Vulcan to the interior of the underground, they found that it was really a different world. All kinds of strange instruments and creations were scattered everywhere. It was more appropriate to call it the laboratory of a strange scientist rather than the interior of a temple. The place was extremely sloppy, but Vulcan did not care. He casually turned over a place, sat on the ground, and asked, "… You mean, Mount Olympus has collapsed? The gods have retreated to the underworld, and they have cut off the connection between the underworld and this world? Hahaha, don't joke around. Your joke is not funny at all. It's ridiculous. "
Chu Hao did not speak. He just looked at Vulcan calmly, and the rest were even more speechless. Of course, the nobles and soldiers were too frightened to speak.
Vulcan seemed to be enraged. He roared loudly, "Do you know how ridiculous your words are? Mount Olympus is not just a mountain. It is completely different from the mountains you mortals see and describe. I won't explain too much about the Divine Dominion. Even if I did, you wouldn't understand. I'll just say one thing. Mount Olympus is different. It is one of the foundations of this world. It is the main vein of this world. To collapse Mount Olympus, one must have the power to destroy this world, or at least half of it. I even calculated a formula for this, and the power obtained was terrifying. No, it was impossible. As long as it was a life form in this world, including the gods, it would be impossible, unless … "
Chu Hao said, "Unless one has transcended this world and reached the level of the gods who are not bound by the world, then it is possible, right?"
Fire Deity looked at Chu Hao in shock. He wanted to say something and ask something, but he was too shocked to say anything. Chu Hao didn't say anything and just looked at him quietly. Fire Deity looked at Fire Deity in a daze.
After a long time, Vulcan said, "You are a sage … Finally, a sage has taken that step? You have seen other worlds, right? You have seen the truth of the whole universe, right? Sure enough, our words have come true, and we have made a mistake … "
Chu Hao still did not speak, but Vulcan continued, "In the beginning, the gods and the world were born together, but at that time, the world was still in the most primitive state of nothingness and chaos. So, the first generation of gods created this world in the chaos of nothingness and gave it life … Forget it, it is meaningless to talk about the history of these gods. In short, the era of the gods continued to pass on and change. In our generation, although our strength is much weaker than the first generation of gods, we still know the truth of this universe. This is a diverse and infinite universe, and each unique universe is a plane. There are infinite overlaps between planes, and so countless planes form the truth of the whole universe. This is the multiverse."
At this point, Vulcan did not care about anything else and spoke his mind completely. "Except for the first generation of gods, the gods born after that do not have the immortality of the first generation of gods. That is, they do not need to rely on faith. Their existence alone is enough to be immortal. Except for the first generation of gods, no other gods can do that. We have to rely on the faith of humans to achieve immortality. So, we must never let humans know the situation outside this world. We cannot let them know how vast this world is, otherwise …"
Before Chu Hao and Zhang Heng could speak, the nobles and soldiers asked in confusion and shock, "Otherwise what? Why can't we know the truth of the world? "
This time, Vulcan did not answer, but Chu Hao answered on his behalf. "Ignorance leads to ignorance. Ignorance leads to poverty and weakness. Poverty and weakness lead to piety. Such a simple truth, I don't think I need to explain more, right? However, Vulcan, we are not here to listen to your discussion. I can tell you clearly that the person who destroyed Mount Olympus is a super powerhouse from another dimension … "
Vulcan sat there in a daze, then said, "After that, Zeus and the others fled to the underworld? And then cut off the connection between the underworld and this world? But do you know what this means for them? If they died in battle in this world, as long as this world was not destroyed by that super expert, they would have a very small chance of being reborn. This was the will of the world. However, if they escaped to the Underworld and cut off their connection with this world, they would quickly weaken. In the end, their souls and bodies would be destroyed. There was no hope at all! Instead of that, they might as well die in this world. At least they will have contributed to this world, so … "
"Contributed?" Chu Hao suddenly sneered and said, "If so, why is this world about to be destroyed?"
Vulcan suddenly showed a shocked expression. He looked at Chu Hao in a daze and muttered, "How do you know? How do you know that this world is about to be destroyed? You … Yes, divinity. I felt divinity in you before, so you can see it, right? "
However, Chu Hao only laughed coldly and continued, "I see that the world is getting darker and darker. This world is already starting to die. However, for the sake of your own survival, all of you sacrificed this and sent it back to the Underworld after it was destroyed. How can you say that these gods have contributed to the heavens and earth? Isn't heaven and earth too stupid? This world will be destroyed sooner or later, and the culprit, you gods, will be destroyed first. The super expert from the outside just sped up the process. "
"As for why Zeus and the others went to the underworld and cut off the connection with this world, since they can't defeat the super expert, there is only one possibility … I think you know better than me, right?"
Vulcan sat on the ground dispiritedly. After a while, he said, "They plan to … open the seal of Titan's Ancestor. They plan to … let Cronus out? Only Cronus can be immortal without faith. But don't they know? Cronus only wants to devour the gods and reach the level of the gods. It's impossible for him to help them. Moreover, Cronus will devour this world at the same time. When Cronus appears, even if they are in the underworld and cut off from this world, this world will still be plunged into darkness! "
"So, I need your help."
Chu Hao looked at Vulcan and said seriously, "My companions and I are going to the underworld. First, we are going to stop the gods from breaking the seal. Second, we are going to revive my dead companions … Help us go to the underworld, and I will help you …"
"Return to Godhood!"
