Chapter 86 The Sun's Ambition and Vulcan's Attempt

The ultimate flame reflects the ultimate light, and the extreme light covers the real sun in this world.

When the night that appeared in the day receded like a tide, the god of fire withdrew his power.

In this way, the real sun of this world can be seen by mortals.Apollo, the son of Zeus, who is now the sun god, can perform his duties of illuminating the earth.

At this moment, he finally returned from the sky.He was approached by his sister, now the moon god Artemis, who rode the crescent moon rising from Mount Olympus.

Back in the Temple of the Sun that belonged to the original sun god Helios, Apollo looked at the sky through the gate of the temple that has not been closed.His eyes fell on the sky.

There, it is the highest point that the sun can reach in a day.But even the sun cannot stay there forever.

Apollo in the temple pursed his lips.Perhaps, it's not that the "sun" can't stay there forever, but that he, Apollo in charge of the sun, can't stay there forever.

Because he had seen such a majestic "sun" with his own eyes, "it" stayed there for a long time, wantonly emitting infinite light and endless heat.

When is it?

Apollo felt that his will was not so clear-he didn't want to recall that person, that scene.

Maybe yesterday, maybe—just today.

The gate of the temple was slowly closing, and the two little gods sent by Zeus, but not qualified to be remembered by Apollo, faithfully performed their duties.

They were ordered by the god king to take care of all the daily life and work of Apollo, the sun god.

They didn't need to ask Apollo's opinion to close the gate of the temple.

Apollo, after all, he is only the son of Zeus who has the authority of the sun. If it is not for the blessing of his father, it is hard to say that the authority of the sun will rush to the embrace of any great god.

Moreover, in terms of serving the sun, the current Apollo is not as good as the former sun god Helios.

So, "business as usual."

This is an order personally issued by Zeus, the supreme god-king of the Olympus pantheon.

At present, the operation of the Sun Temple and the operation of the sun are the same as when Helios was in power.

The gate in the temple was slowly closed, leaving fewer and fewer gaps, but Apollo never retracted his gaze that fell on the mid-heaven.

It wasn't until the last crack disappeared that he lowered his eyebrows and looked elsewhere.

He walked to the windowsill of the temple.

Now that a residence has changed owners, it should naturally bring something new.This window sill is.

At the request of Apollo, the sun god, Zeus personally issued an order to frame the temple of the sun for him, so that the temple on the mountainside lacked some traces of the former sun god Helios, and more of the present-day Apollo alone. There is a literary atmosphere.

Through the window sill, you can see that not far from the Sun Temple, three newly built temples are shining brightly.

They belong to the three goddesses in charge of the four seasons, namely Tarot, the goddess of spring, Karpo, the goddess of summer, and Oxo, the goddess of autumn.

But in the past, these goddesses belonged to one temple, that is, the Temple of the Sun.

Apollo ignored these, but looked to the edge of the window sill, where there was a piano and a harp.

As the fingers flick over the strings, a kind of authority related to music emerges.

He looked towards Zhongtian and murmured to himself: "One day, I will stand in the sky too."

"I'll take the faith to be stronger, to be as strong as you are."

"No, it's stronger than you!"

……

Faith is not a new thing, even from ancient times.

It's already come to the fore.

But no matter what time it is, faith has never been so valued in the hearts of the gods, and it is even relied on as a stepping stone for their own promotion, and even the gods are required to end themselves and give benefits to mortals.

This is because there are too many gods who want to be believed in, and the number of human beings is not enough.

Mortals thus have more choices.

Now is not any era before, pure majesty and intimidation cannot get the sincerity of mortals.Only the satisfaction brought by enough favors can support a god to snatch believers from another god, and can support a god to go further on the road of faith.

On the blue sea and the golden sand, Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty, extended an invitation to the goddess of glory, Aglaia.

"Have you considered it, Aglaia?"

"Go to the world with me to preach, to accept the faith and become stronger."

"Would you like to?"

On the golden sand, the two goddesses with only strands of hair are so eye-catching, their bodies like suet and white jade seem to gather all the beauty in the world.

They walked slowly along the coastline, basking in the sun.

Aphrodite, goddess of beauty, walks on the left, and Aglaia, goddess of radiance, walks on the right.

Wave after wave came and went, beating their white feet.

Received an invitation from a god whose power was far greater than her own, but Aglaia, the goddess of radiance, did not respond immediately.

She stopped, and she stopped with Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty.

Together they looked at the sea, in the direction of Lemnos Island.

But only Aglaia knew that she didn't want to go back yet.

In Lemnos the great Vulcan has appointed his favored ones.That person, not her.

But, it should be her...

It would be nice if... had more power...

She looked at Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty, and opened her lips to the most beautiful of the gods.

"I am willing."

……

And on Lemnos, the Vulcan and the Fool who came to an agreement met in the temple on the island.

"I don't know," said Epimetheus the Fool.

"There is no trace of the root path, and the footprints left by each person are different."

"There has never been a definite method that can make people walk on the path of root."

"If you want to imitate me and open up the world, I'm afraid it will be very difficult."

Hephaestus nodded in response: "I know."

Immediately he added: "Actually, it's not imitation. I have met Kronos. Although I don't understand his mysterious rhetoric, I have some insights on walking on the root path."

"There is no need to give back and be pure. If my roots led me to walk in the past, now it's time for me to repay it and carry it forward."

"Now, I have reached the limit given to me by the root, it is time to try."

"If it doesn't work, I will guide the excess power to forcibly open up a real world."

"I will try to survive and hope to gain something."

"During this time, I'll leave it to you in this world..."
