Chapter 76
The attitudes of Zeus, the king of gods, and Hera, the queen of heaven, are the epitome of the attitudes of the gods.

When referring to those who later stepped into greatness, everyone selectively forgot the previous generation of God King Cronus.

And the more powerful the gods are, the more they have this tendency.

Because the stronger they are, the more they understand Cronus, and the deeper they understand, the more unknowns they face, the less they can understand.

This kind of inability to understand the unknown gradually evolved into not being able to understand and not believing. Gradually, they chose to forget this person and not mention him.

but.

True forgetting is for the insignificant and the insignificant.Cronus, the former king of gods, and Cronus the great who set foot later, he is obviously not included in this list.

During the 1000 years of Kronos' defeat, many people actually had clues about him.

Like the earth goddess Gaia, the sky god Uranus, the ancient sea god Pontus, and even the dead sun god Helios, they all know more or less that Uriah, the mountain god, sheltered Cronus.

The difference is that some people don't want to mention it, and some people dare not mention it.

Of course, there are also reasons why the previous god king Cronus behaved quite peacefully during the 1000 years of defeat.

In the 1000 years of defeat, he never showed his figure on the earth, nor did he get involved in the hidden war started by the god Uranus. Even the gods will forget him.He gradually became a story, a foil for Zeus to ascend to the throne of God King.

It is no exaggeration to say that during those 1000 years, he was trapped in a cage that was not a cage.The battle of gods started by the hidden war outside is in full swing, and the powerful gods who stand at the top and plunder all the time are making progress every day.It seems that only he is the one who was abandoned by the times.

But reality always seems to be full of irony.

He actually came back, in the most unlikely way.

Many of the gods are old friends of Cronus, and they are familiar with what Cronus is like.

But from the moment Cronus raised his battle ax to the sky to face the god Uranus, they suddenly found that this person was different.There is no trace of the past on him anymore.

1000 years is very short for the gods, so short that they cannot and dare not accept the changes of Cronus.

They were also curious about how Cronus ascended to greatness.

A man trapped in a cage is easy to investigate.His complicated interpersonal relationships were all cut off by the cage, and he no longer had the capital to help him return to things outside the cage.

The gods searched for a while, and even recalled the dissipated consciousness of the birds and beasts that had visited the mountain that trapped Kronos.

Together they concluded that nothing had happened in 1000 years.

So they focused on the time when Cronus was still ruling the land as a god-king.

But how arrogant and violent Cronus was at that time.

After becoming the king of gods, everything he did was straightforward—this is easy to investigate.

Perhaps because of seizing the throne of Uranus, he has always regarded Uranus as an enemy.Pride and prejudice blinded him, so he did not take part in the hidden war waged by the god Uranus.

He never pillaged, but ruled tyrannically over everything he could.

but.

The gods know - Cronus's roots are not strong enough to support him to the heights of the great...

What's more, Cronus has no trace of using external force...

If it were you, would you believe it?A loser who knows nothing, he just closed himself in one place for 1000 years, and obtained wealth out of thin air that needs to be filled with the whole world.

Can you believe it?
So who is he?Is it Cronus, or someone else?Which one of the original ancient gods, exactly?
Tartarus?Or Eros?or……

……

Hephaestus let go of his thoughts and temporarily drove away these distracting thoughts.

He hopes in his heart that Cronus will be a miracle, a miracle that does not rely on external forces such as secrets and beliefs.Because this means that the road to greater power can abandon external forces, and can attribute great power to itself without leaving any weaknesses.

If this trip has not been fruitful, he will try the way of Epimetheus to give up his power.

In front of him is the mountain that once trapped Cronus, and it is also the sanctuary that Uriah, the mountain god, tried his best to keep for Cronus.

Under the gaze of several inexplicable eyes, Hephaestus dispelled the mountain wall in front of him and stepped into the mountainside of the mountain.

The purpose of entering is an empty dug room, similar to the cave where mortals live now.

There is a long corridor that leads deeper into the mountainside.

The promenade is a cuboid-shaped channel with flat and smooth walls on both sides, with exquisite paintings and treasures hanging or inlaid on it, and the beautiful faces of the stars and goddesses are painted on the mountain wall above the head.

Cronus took Uriah away from Chaos, and now these treasures and murals are no longer glamorous because of the power of time.

At the end of the passage is a deep pool.The pond water is very deep, so it is not clear.

The layout of the entire mountainside is crude, and it seems extremely difficult to find certain traces in such a crude place.

But for Hephaestus, who is in charge of history, enough is enough.Even if the owner here is the former god king Cronus, it is no exception.

He clasped his hands together, and between his brows opened and closed, a crack opened above the pool leading to the extreme depths of chaos.

A beam of light spilled into the pool of water through the fissure.

This light comes from the most outstanding work of Hephaestus - the streamer.

It is drifting in the chaos instead of Hephaestus, going deeper and deeper into the chaos, recording the history of every broken world it encounters.

The beam of light sprinkled into the pool through the crack gives people a vague and heavy sense of history. This is because the streamer light has already carried the history of an unknown number of broken worlds.They are waiting, waiting for Hephaestus, as the master of history, to pick them up.

Also because of this beam of light, everything in the mountainside is anchored, completely cutting off the sight of outsiders.

Hephaestus took out the time history book and started to go back in time.

he saw...

Cronus has been here before.Standing by the edge of the pool, he became old inexplicably.Immediately afterwards, he stroked the mountain wall with his fingers, and took out an ax from the long river of time that appeared.

He also heard...

Kronos once said to himself: "It turns out that I will also be affected by time, smooth the edges and corners, and completely lose my arrogant and surly self."

"I'm not young anymore."

And then... he set foot on the great...

Hephaestus was a little dazed.Kronos... did he do something?

Suddenly, the backward time past becomes extremely unstable.

A time-related god intervenes.

It is Cronus, here he comes.

He opened a circular hole in these regressed illusory times.

Through the void, he could see the yellow broken world on his side.

Hephaestus immediately caught Cronus' sight.

It was the first time in his history that someone interfered.

Kronos' eyes were indifferent, and he said at the other end of the hole: "It's me, I have found myself, and I have surpassed myself, so as to feed back the roots and surpass the limits given to me by the roots."

"That's the answer you want."

"Now, leave my time."

In the belly of the mountain, Hephaestus blinked: "So... was driven out?"

Immediately, he heard Kronos' cold voice: "Don't come again, this is my time..."
