Chapter 718 Turning
Point Are you nervous?
Zhuo Bai asked himself while looking at the temple in front of him.
He was certainly nervous, but he was more excited. He didn't even care about the hostile look from the gods.
Since birth, he lacked ability compared to Zhao Xinghe, and he lacked potential compared to Hong Zhong.
He has always been the least valued one.
But he never gave up. One day, he could represent the alliance, and one day, he could stand on his own stage.
This day has come, so he will not back down.
"Boy, are you ignoring Lord Ares?"
The gods glared at Zhuo Bai and asked angrily.
"It turns out to be Lord God of War. Taichu Zhuo Bai greets you."
Zhuo Bai saluted him. He didn't expect to meet the God of War of the Mountain of Gods here.
"What are you doing here?"
The God of War did not return the greeting, and asked rather forcefully.
"On behalf of Taichu, I pay my respects to Zeus."
Zhuo Bai said with a smile on his face.
"Humph, he is worthy."
The words of the God of War made Zhuo Bai's face change, and his simple face became bitter and resentful.
His expression was not really intimidating, but it had perfectly expressed his thoughts.
"Heh."
The God of War snorted briefly, then turned away with disdain.
"You must pay for your rudeness."
Zhuo Bai said word by word to the back of the God of War.
"Wait."
The God of War left a word and walked away.
Zhuo Bai took a deep breath, suppressed his restless heart, and waited quietly for a while. A god came out and invited him in.
The temple of Zeus is magnificent. Zhuo Bai has never seen such a luxurious building, but with his aesthetic taste, he doesn't think it looks good.
The alliance advocates simplicity, likes green bricks and green tiles, and the colors are mostly elegant, which is completely opposite to here.
This made Zhuo Bai, who was stabbed by the god of war, even more uncomfortable, but he still adjusted his spirit and prepared to deal with Zeus.
Before setting off, Taichu met him alone. His most important task was not to reach an alliance, but to get people from this side to witness the appearance of the roots of the mother tree.
Only by seeing it can it be changed.
Taichu revealed his thoughts to him in person. If possible, he did not want to go to war with this side. He hoped that the two sides could establish a united front peacefully.
However, if peaceful unification cannot be achieved, then war is not an unusable means.
The last sentence was quite inspiring, and every time he thought of it, Zhuo Bai's blood would boil.
"Pah pah pah..."
In the silent corridor, only Zhuo Bai's voice echoed hollowly.
When he arrived in front of the largest reception room, Zhuo Bai stopped and waited quietly as instructed by the messenger of God.
This time it didn't take long, and soon the messenger of God led him in.
The empty circular living room was surrounded by many huge stone pillars. The important position above the reception room was open, and the sunlight could shine directly down.
In the reception room, in addition to Athena, there were two other people. One was standing high up, and should be Zeus, and the other's face he had seen before, was Poseidon.
"Zhuo Bai, the messenger of the Primordial Alliance, has met the god Zeus."
Zhuo Bai bowed and greeted.
"What does Taichu have to say?"
Zeus' voice echoed in the living room, giving people a strong sense of oppression.
Zhuo Bai swallowed his saliva, calmed down for a moment, and slowly spoke: "Taichu wants to form an alliance with the Mountain of Gods to fight against the Tree of Life together."
"The Tree of Life?"
Zeus' voice was full of contempt and questioning: "It's too long ago. The Tree of Life has long disappeared. Tell me the real purpose of Taichu."
Zhuo Bai frowned and said: "The power of the Tree of Life has already invaded this world, and the Sentinel Tree has already descended. Why did Zeus turn a blind eye to it? Did he have to wait until the enemy was in front of him before preparing to meet the enemy?"
His words made Poseidon and Athena look at him in surprise. It was a bit bold to talk to Zeus like this.
Zeus was also a little surprised and looked down at him for the first time.
There was not a sound in the whole hall. Under the pressure of Zeus, Zhuo Bai tried to straighten his chest and raise his head, and looked into his eyes.
"Evidence."
After a long time, Zeus asked.
"The Eastern Continent, the continent to the east of the continent where the alliance is located, the continent that the god Poseidon has been to, there is ironclad evidence of the erosion of the Tree of Life."
Zhuo Bai raised his head and talked endlessly about what Diwu Xuan saw in the Eastern Continent and what the Mermaid King said.
After Zhuo Bai finished speaking, the hall fell into silence again. After a long time, Zeus looked at Poseidon.
"I didn't see it."
Poseidon said bluntly.
Zhuo Bai frowned, knowing in his heart that the idea of reaching an alliance was basically shattered.
"I will send someone to check Dongda Road, but before that, let's leave it at that."
Zeus said, waving his hand, followed by thunder and lightning, and the messenger came over to ask Zhuo Bai to leave.
"Lord Zeus, Taichu wants to dig up the stump of the mother tree in the alliance. The state of the stump of the mother tree can also be seen from the state of the tree of life."
Zhuo Bai said anxiously, "Please ask Lord Zeus to send someone to check, and you can get the answer as well."
His words made Zeus wave his hands, and the messenger stopped moving, and the lightning in the hall disappeared.
"I am willing to go."
Athena said, trying to make this happen.
Zeus looked at his daughter in surprise, hesitated for a while, and said, "No, this is a matter of your alliance, I don't want to care about it, you go."
This time the lightning came more fiercely. Zhuo Bai wanted to say something, but he felt that the lightning seemed to be staring at him.
If he spoke, the lightning would definitely strike.
After hesitating for a while, Zhuo Bai did not force it, bowed, left the hall, and followed the messenger out of the temple.
As soon as he left, he heard Athena's voice of persuasion from behind, but Zeus obviously did not want to listen to her and still refused.
Gradually, Zhuo Bai could no longer hear their conversation. After walking out of the temple, he did not leave, but waited there.
It was not that he could not fly away from the Mountain of Gods, but he wanted to try it again.
Not long after, Athena came out and saw him still in front of the temple. She was slightly stunned, but she understood something in an instant.
"I persuaded him, but Zeus did not agree to do so."
Athena said.
"I hope to see Hades."
Zhuo Bai said.
This was another way left for him by the Fifth Xuan. Zeus could not convince him,
so he tried to persuade Hades. Although he did not understand why, he still wanted to try.
"Okay, I'll take you there."
Athena directly let Zhuo Bai get on the golden chariot, and the golden chariot went all the way down to the underworld and directly penetrated into the ground.
The underworld still looked the same. Athena's carriage was unimpeded here and went straight to the Hades Palace. Soon, they arrived in front of the Hades Palace.
"Let's go in together. Hades doesn't have so many rules."
This time, Athena didn't let Zhuo Bai wait. She took Zhuo Bai directly into the palace.
The color tone of Hades' palace is much more stable than that of Zeus. It is mainly dark black. Even if there are gold decorations, they will not appear on a large scale.
Although it is somewhat gloomy, Zhuo Bai feels that this place is better than Zeus's temple.
"Hades was punished by Zeus and cannot leave his temple, so don't hold too much hope."
Athena said this before entering the hall.
