Chapter 80

If it was Cronus, the god-king who ruled the earth, he would have already made a bold move in the face of the god who was secretly peeping and provoking his majesty.

But he is not now.He became a fugitive vagabond, an ordinary middle-aged man with a beard.

When he stood with Uriah, who had a simple and honest face and a steady temperament, Uriah was even more attractive.

If he is not standing high in the sky at this moment, people will subconsciously think that he is a farmer from the fields.

He smiled at Hephaestus, and gently exposed Hephaestus's spying behavior.

He responded to Hephaestus: "Yes and no," he said.

"I foresaw your coming when your mother Hera was born."

As he said that, he raised his hand and made a guiding gesture behind him: "Do you want to walk together? Take advantage of your spare time and see the world we have given new life together?"

Cronos is indeed different.At least, he is different from the legend.

After a brief contact, Hephaestus recognized this.

"Please." He responded to Cronus who invited him kindly.

So three middle-aged men with different temperaments took a walk in the sky.

The elegance of Hephaestus, the ordinaryness of Cronus, and the stability of Uriah.

Among them, Hephaestus walked on the left hand of Cronus, and his body was on the same level as Cronus.Uriah walked on Kronos' right hand, a little behind.

The three of them walked in the sky, chatting casually like ordinary mortal friends.

"What should I call you now? You have changed a bit." Hephaestus asked Cronus.

Kronos replied briskly: "Just call me Kronos, the status of God King is a thing of the past."

Hephaestus glanced at him: "You really put it down?"

Kronos just smiled and didn't answer the question.

He gestured towards the distance, which was the direction of the land.

Hephaestus looked over and saw that on the vast land, a majestic mountain stood in the center of the land, and its peaks supported the endless sky above.

The voice of Cronus came from the ear: "The world will be better because of us."

"Maybe after countless years, Uriah's uplifted mountain, the flame crow you acted as the sun, and the golden apple tree I grew, they will become the original elements of this world as an inseparable part of this world. God."

"Just like my mother, Gaia, your goddess of the earth. From now on, a glorious world will be opened."

Hephaestus nodded: "That's right."

But he quickly added: "But this world is too fragile. When they are born, the battle begins."

"It's also... the horn of the world's imminent destruction."

"After all, the three things we three gave to this dead world are indispensable. My fire replaced the original light and completed it according to the former rules of this world. The mountains of Uriah supported the sky, Keep it from being destroyed, and your golden apple tree is its strength to maintain the status quo and move forward."

"As time goes by, it is foreseeable that this world will become more and more connected with them, and even grow around them, causing them to be completely dependent on the world itself after this world is completed."

"A world that grows up like this is undesirable and unhealthy. A healthy world should be able to operate by itself without relying on any living beings, and living beings should be a part of it, but not a necessary part. But it has to depend on it to exist.”

"Also, what is a god? You must know better than me."

"Yeah, what is a god?" Kronos said with emotion.

"The world is trying its best to breed gods, and why?"

"From the perspective of those who have experienced it, our existence is actually unhealthy for the world. The world can run on its own without the help of gods. Not only can gods not help it, but they may hurt it and destroy it."

"We often snatch, plunder, and occupy every inch of the world because of our own preferences, but in fact, we don't need these, and we can survive well even if we are far away from the world."

"If the world is compared to a tree, we are those pests who are greedy and unsatisfied when we are full on it."

"but."

Cronus' words ushered in a turning point.

"We're not the world after all, are we?"

"We are gods, and we are born to stand on the standpoint of gods. For us, there is no struggle within the world and it is just a pool of stagnant water. What fun is there? It's better to fall and fall into eternal peace."

Hephaestus looked at him and said in agreement: "Yes, we are gods, not the world."

Kronos also looked back at him, and he smiled brightly: "Speaking of which, we haven't played against each other yet."

"Want to play a game?"

Hephaestus: "Oh, how do you play?"

Cronus looked at the "sun" in the sky, and then pointed to the mountains that supported the sky in the distance: "Didn't you say that when they were conceived, it was when the world sounded the horn of destruction?"

"I think that creatures will always find their own way out. Contact, test, and adapt, they will find that balance one day."

"We are all elegant and easy-going people. God's War is not suitable for us. Why don't we gamble on each creation and see which one of them is the one who is willing to give up his own interests to achieve this balance."

"At that time, the loser will be responsible for cleaning up the situation and preventing the world from being destroyed by someone who doesn't open his eyes."

Hephaestus chuckled: "It's very interesting, but the time span is a bit long. However, I am happy to accompany you."

As he said that, he looked at Uriah on the side: "Mountain God, do you want to come together?"

Uriah glanced at Cronus, and then replied briefly: "Then I will also participate."

Hephaestus and Cronus laughed at the same time.

While chatting, they finalized a game involving endless years, and the distance between the two unknowingly narrowed.

They went on.

During the period, Kronos suddenly asked: "Speaking of, when did you arrive, Vulcan, how much did you see, how much did you hear, and how much did you understand?"

Hephaestus glanced at him. "Can't remember," he said. "These fallen worlds have been here a long time ago."

Kronos nodded when he heard the words: "Very good. What are your plans next? Do you want to be with us?"

"I have always felt that if there is anyone among the gods who is best at defeating the strong with the weak, it must be you."

"On the road of wandering, which kills the past, you will definitely be able to make great strides."

Hephaestus glanced at him with a smile: "Forget it. You also said that I am a refined and easy-going person, and fighting and killing is really not suitable for me. I'll continue to explore the roots."

Cronus didn't force it either, he looked back at Hephaestus with a smile: "Then...good luck to you."

Hephaestus glanced at Uriah: "You too..."
-
After Hephaestus left, Cronus and Uriah stood in the sky.

Uriah asked Cronus: "Just let him go like this, the information should be equivalent, since he has already been to these fallen worlds..."

Kronos interrupted him: "There is no way, I was careless..."
