Chapter 608: Labor
Even when Hermes was in his prime, he did not dare to challenge Hephaestus.
Hephaestus, in private among the gods, was called "half-god of war".
Everyone felt that if he had not been born lame, his strength might be no less than that of the god of war.
So when Hephaestus grabbed Hermes's skeletal feet and carried him upside down to the volcano, Hermes did not have any intention of resisting.
"I found the Giant Court. You know how much the King of Gods cares about it. Hephaestus, if you let me go now, I will pretend that nothing happened."
Hermes tried to convince Him with words, which was what Hermes was good at.
"Huh."
All Hermes got was a cold snort from Hephaestus.
Hearing this cold snort, Hermes knew that his persuasion had failed, and Hephaestus still hated the King of Gods as always.
In the entire Mountain of the Gods, there were not many who dared to hate the King of Gods, but Hephaestus was definitely one of them, and he dared to express it.
After returning to the Mountain of the Gods and repairing his relationship with his mother Hera, he criticized Zeus for punishing Hera:
when Hera disobeyed Zeus, Zeus would tie her wrists and hang her in the sky.
Hephaestus criticized this, which made the angry Zeus restrain his power and throw him off the Mountain of the Gods.
This broke his legs, making him a real cripple for a time, and he could only walk on the golden crutches he made.
This was a great humiliation for Hephaestus, and it made him hate Zeus even more, so...
Hermes became silent. He could only hope to meet other gods on the way to the volcano, or that Hephaestus would change his mind.
But both hopes were very difficult to achieve.
…………
Zhao Xinghe was about to be born.
Zhao Xinghe was the name Zhao gave to his youngest child, and the soul of this child was a torch and a land lamp. He was also named Street Lamp No. 414, Suzaku Street.
In fact, during this period of time, children who were given souls by Taichu were born one after another. There was nothing obviously different about them, and they did not carry the wisdom of their previous lives.
Diwuxuan guessed that this should be because they were reborn in the mother's womb, and the fusion of soul and body eliminated all previous memories.
This situation is hard to say whether it is good or bad. Having the memory of the previous life is sometimes a burden.
When the previous children were born, Wudi Xuan took a look at first, but later he saw that there was not much change, so he did not pay much attention to it.
But today he still came down from the fairyland and focused on the birth of Zhao Xinghe, because he was one of the three special souls.
In the altar shrouded in spiritual energy, several midwives were helping Zhao's wife to give birth.
Wudi Xuan did not follow and watch, but stood on the side of the altar, observing the golden wolf that had transformed into a werewolf with Shi and Greedy Wolf.
Being surrounded and watched by Wudi Xuan and others, although it was not the first time, the golden wolf still seemed a little restrained.
"Do you feel that many children have undergone this kind of change now?"
Wudi Xuan looked at Greedy Wolf and asked.
"Almost one-third, but none of them are as obvious as his."
Greedy Wolf said.
Diwu Xuan nodded, and looked at the Golden Wolf again: "Have you found the reason for the initial change?"
The Golden Wolf nodded immediately: "It's the spiritual energy. I absorbed the spiritual energy and it entered my brain."
He pointed to the wolf-like head. The head looked both ferocious and strange.
Diwu Xuan touched his chin irritably. This change made him confused.
He was determined to let his people cultivate immortality through spiritual energy, but in the end, they failed. The people of the Wolf Tribe turned into werewolves first.
Could it be that this world can only continue the mythical creatures of the West? Just like the Mountain of Gods.
"Has Taichu found a deeper reason?"
Shi Kaikou asked the stunned Diwu Xuan.
"It may also be the influence of my subconscious."
Diwu Xuan gave an answer that he had thought of long ago.
Greedy Wolf and Shi were stunned. They naturally knew the influence of the subconscious on the tribesmen. This was a long-standing saying.
"Have you... thought about turning your tribesmen into werewolves?"
Greedy Wolf asked in a low voice.
"I have thought about it. Didn't they say there were dog-headed people? At that time, I thought, there are dog-headed people, why are there no werewolves."
The Fifth Xuan said with a wry smile.
He also thought about whether there would be slimes. If the subconscious is really so powerful, will slimes really appear?
But what can one believe in to become a slime? It can't be a snot totem, that would be too disgusting, and the Fifth Xuan would refuse him to enter the fairyland.
"I've thought about it too."
Greedy Wolf said suddenly, which surprised the Fifth Xuan.
"I want the giant wolf to combine with humans, not this kind of werewolf."
Greedy Wolf explained hurriedly.
Diwu Xuan gave Greedy Wolf a strange look. This idea... it's better to throw it away.
"Zhao, pay proper attention to the dog tribe and the bat tribe to see if there will be dog-headed people or vampires."
Diwu Xuan said to Zhao who was standing aside.
"I will."
Zhao replied immediately.
Diwu Xuan shook his head. If it continues like this, it will become a Western mythology paradise. He doesn't know whether it is good or bad.
"Change back and let me see."
Diwu Xuan spoke to the Golden Wolf again.
The Golden Wolf nodded and immediately concentrated on changing. Soon the hair on his body began to shrink into his body, and his bones also changed strangely.
His wolf face began to shrink, his nose turned into a normal person's nose, and his ears shrank rapidly. Soon he became a human, but naked.
There were clothes he brought next to him, and he immediately turned around and put them on.
"It's quite convenient."
Shi commented.
Everyone nodded.
The ability to change so conveniently is also due to the fact that the allied tribesmen can obtain two totem powers at the same time.
The Golden Wolf changed the second totem power to the moon totem power, so that he can achieve free transformation.
"The fighting power of the golden wolves transformed into werewolves is two to three times stronger than that of their human forms. I plan to recruit them all into the standing army."
Looking at the golden wolves in clothes, he suddenly spoke.
No one objected. If it were members of other tribes, they might not agree to such a large-scale entry into the army, but the Wolf Tribe was different.
After all, the Wolf Tribe was the first to follow Diwu Xuan, and they were more trusted.
"Zhao Xinghe is about to be born."
Diwu Xuan suddenly turned his head and looked at the center of the altar. There was a thick spiritual energy blocking the line of sight. Others could not see in, but he could see clearly.
Zhao's face immediately showed a nervous expression, and the others also looked expectant.
Even the golden wolf in clothes looked expectantly into the depths of the spiritual energy.
Everyone was waiting quietly, but the clear sky suddenly changed, and darkness was slowly engulfing the sky of the Taichu capital.
"What happened?"
Zhao asked in surprise.
He was not the only one who was surprised. Even Shi and the wolf totem were a little surprised, and the tribesmen in the entire capital were also a little panicked.
"Don't panic, it's just a change in the spiritual energy."
The voice of Diwu Xuan echoed over the capital, and the agitated tribesmen finally calmed down.
Diwu Xuan's eyes looked into the depths of the spiritual energy. He could sense that this change came from there.
Just as Diwu Xuan said, this change came from the spiritual energy. Outside the capital far away, where the spiritual energy could not reach, the sky was still clear.
"The world is changing, this child is extraordinary."
Shi's face showed a rare happy expression.
The soul of this child is Ju, and Ju is his favorite disciple. How can he not be happy when his disciple grows up?
"Wow~~"
A child's cry came from the depths of the spiritual energy. With this cry, the darkness descended faster and faster.
Then a little starlight grew in the darkness and flickered in the sky above the capital.
Diwu Xuan stepped into the spiritual energy and came in front of Zhao Xinghe.
Babies are ugly when they are just born, and this child is the same. There is still amniotic fluid on his body, and the midwife is preparing to wipe him.
Seeing Diwu Xuan coming, they were about to kneel down, but were stopped by Diwu Xuan, who just let them do what they want.
Zhao Xinghe still closed his eyes, crying and dancing, and the midwife wiped him, but he was still resisting.
He looked healthy, and his cry was very loud, and his posture did not seem to be that of a baby with any memory.
When he exerted force, Diwu Xuan could feel the star power lingering around his body.
"Someone come and help me, this child is too strong and too heavy."
The midwife said to the people who were helping next to her, and someone came forward to help.
Without waiting for these people to help, Diwu Xuan stretched out his hand, and a stream of spiritual energy formed a blanket in the basin to hold the child.
"Thank you Taichu."
Zhao's wife was much better at this time, and she hurriedly said.
This was not her first time giving birth, and although she was still tired, she was still able to stay awake.
"No need."
Diwu Xuan smiled at him and continued to pay attention to Zhao Xinghe.
He could feel that the child was instinctively absorbing spiritual energy, but the amount was not much. The spiritual energy just entered his body in a scattered manner and was distributed in his body.
The children born before also had this phenomenon, but compared with Zhao Xinghe, they lacked these star powers.
"It seems that we still have to wait for him to grow up slowly."
Diwu Xuan couldn't help but murmured.
He thought that these three children were protected by special powers, and they might retain their memories, or there was something special and different.
Now it seems that there is only one more power being applied, and there is not much difference.
After the child was wiped and wrapped in animal skin, the midwife prepared to hold him over for Diwu Xuan to see.
Diwu Xuan waved his hand and asked her to show it to his wife who was taking care of him.
Just as Diwu Xuan was about to enter the fairyland, a black shadow suddenly emerged from the fairyland light ball and coiled beside Diwu Xuan.
It was a black snake with a bloody smell, a snake totem.
"Ganymede requests to speak to you."
The snake totem could not help but glance at Zhao Xinghe and said.
"Speak."
Diwu Xuan nodded immediately.
The snake totem immediately transformed into a human body and danced the snake tribe sacrificial dance to the fairyland light ball.
In an instant, a light curtain appeared in front of Diwu Xuan, and in the light curtain, Ganymede was standing there.
"Taichu, I found the giant king's court."
Ganymede spoke, and one sentence made Diwu Xuan's eyes light up.
