Chapter 723 The Secret of the Mountain of Gods
"Donghai City, I heard it's a beautiful coastal city. I walked around the alliance and saw that many of your tribesmen wanted to go there... for tourism, right? Tourism?"
Hades turned his head and looked at Diwu Xuan and asked.
"Yes, the totem train brought convenient transportation, and the tourism industry has developed, but in fact the snow-capped mountains in the north and the wetlands in the south are also tourist attractions, but they have not been developed."
Diwu Xuan said with some regret, and his eyes deliberately swept over the ice bear totem. The fact that
tourism in the north and south has not been developed is inseparable from the political relationship between the two places.
There is the Ice Bear Tribe in the north, and there are also disasters in the southern border tribes. Both places make people feel insecure, so...
here in the capital, there is actually no scenery, but many tribesmen come to make pilgrimages.
Every day, people perform a sacrificial dance in the square, then prostrate themselves on their knees and kowtow before leaving.
There are also people who wait eagerly to see the ancestor of humanity or the Fifth Xuan, but they are all very well-behaved. When they meet, they don't approach to talk, but just kowtow from a distance and leave.
"The people of the Mountain of Gods are not so free and easy. You people in the Ice Bear Tribe are not so free and easy, are you?"
Hades smiled and looked at the Ice Bear Totem.
The Ice Bear Totem smiled and shook his head. This guy occasionally pretended to be an old wise man in front of the Fifth Xuan, but he was much more obedient in front of Hades.
"Is Artemis okay?"
Hades turned his head and looked at the witch, with concern in his eyes and gentle words.
In fact, this is a question He wanted to ask a long time ago. The reason why he made a joke at the beginning was to make this question not seem abrupt.
It also indirectly means that He has no ill intentions, but is just concerned about Artemis.
This guy has really learned the euphemisms in the Alliance culture.
"Goddess mother is fine, she just always wanted to go to Southern Xinjiang, but father and mother Xin disagree, they like the sea."
Mang Wu is very clever and good at speaking. This sentence not only points out the contradiction, but also shows the relationship between several people through small contradictions.
"Hahaha, He doesn't just like the jungle. If He is placed in Southern Xinjiang, He will definitely hunt every day, and you won't even be able to find His shadow." Hades
smiled and raised his glass, saying, "A toast to your mother, my lovely little niece."
Everyone raised their glasses, and Diwu Xuan also picked up the glass and drank it all.
This topic has passed, but the Fifth Xuan has already understood what Hades meant. He was expressing his hope that he would take care of Artemis.
The Fifth Xuan did not say anything explicitly, but he had already decided in his heart that before Hades left, he would let Xin come over so that the uncle and nephew could meet.
The banquet lasted for a long time, and everyone talked about everything under the sun. Everyone was having a great time. The witch was forced to drink by Hades again and again, and he was actually a little tipsy in the end.
The others were more helpless. They couldn't even get drunk, and could only feel the pleasure of the strong liquor passing through their throats.
The next day, the Fifth Xuan led everyone into the spiritual space behind the statue, where the mark of the Tree of Life was confined.
The spiritual energy was pushed aside, and everyone swarmed in, which stunned the mark of the Tree of Life for a while.
"Ready to go?"
The Mark of the Tree of Life asked in surprise, and suddenly looked at Hades, and the expression of surprise was replaced by astonishment.
The Fifth Xuan noticed this sensitively, and waved his hand, letting the ancestor of mankind and other gods leave, leaving only Hades and the Ice Bear Totem.
They were dealing with the three major forces, and there were many things that Hades could not say with so many people.
"You have..."
When the people went out, the Mark of the Tree of Life immediately pointed at Hades and wanted to say something, but was stopped by the Fifth Xuan.
"Is it convenient for the Ice Bear Totem to be here?"
The Fifth Xuan asked.
He wanted to keep the Ice Bear Totem, but out of respect for Hades, he still wanted to ask.
The Ice Bear Totem also looked at Hades inquiringly.
"Stay and tell you. Maybe there will be less unnecessary war."
Hades' eyes were like a deep well, and his will seemed a little depressed.
No one spoke, waiting for Hades to speak. There must be some secrets here that made a god like Hades adjust his mindset.
After a long time, Hades finally spoke.
"When the Titan's body turned into the Mountain of Gods, it was eroded by the power of the Tree of Life. It was not much. It was all the remaining power when the Tree of Life fought with the Titan."
His eyes were a little empty, and there was nostalgia.
"This power infected a large number of gods, and generations of gods died in the fight against this power. Later, the god Kronos, the father of Zeus, Poseidon, and I, swallowed us into his stomach to prevent our generation of gods from being infected, and absorbed all the power of the tree of life in our bodies."
The Fifth Xuan and the Ice Bear Totem looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
I didn't expect that the frequent replacement of gods in the Mountain of Gods was actually due to this reason, and I didn't expect that the secret behind the legendary Zeus and the other two overthrowing their father's rule was actually like this.
"Father used the power of time to suppress and consume the power of the Mother Tree of Life, but unfortunately, it was not completely consumed in the end. The power still remained in the Mountain of Gods. As the King of the Underworld and the King of Gods, Zeus and I were the most seriously affected."
This made the Fifth Xuan feel a bad premonition.
"How serious is it?"
"I'm fine. After all, I'm only in charge of the underworld in name. There are three gods below to help me share the responsibility. Besides, the Mountain of Gods is not controlled by me. Zeus... is more serious."
"How serious is it?"
This time it was the Ice Bear Totem who asked.
"I think that his consciousness may have been eroded by this power, and his behavior... may no longer be under his control."
Hades gave a shocking piece of news, which directly made Diwu Xuan and the Ice Bear Totem dizzy.
My good man, it turned out that the most powerful force in this world had already defected to the enemy?
"Are you sure?"
There was no smile on Diwu Xuan's face. This was really not good news.
"I'm not sure, but we are also prepared, including Athena and other gods, who are also prepared at all times. If this is really the case..."
He didn't say anything else, but the meaning was self-evident.
This is a rebellion. In Diwu Xuan's memory, there are also some memories about Athena leading Zeus' children to rebel in Greek mythology.
However, whether Greek mythology and the Mountain of the Gods are the same thing, He is not sure.
This world is completely different from the world he is in, and judging from the development trajectory, it doesn't seem like it can become that world.
"If things go to the last step, do you have a high chance of winning?"
Diwu Xuan's words pushed things to the worst.
Hades frowned and thought for a long time. Everyone waited quietly. No one spoke. Except for the Tree of Life Mark, the other two were not in a good mood.
"Not much hope."
After a long time, Hades said weakly: "Zeus had the strongest ability to resist the erosion of the power of the Tree of Life, so he became the King of Gods. The King of Gods has the right to control the Mountain of Gods, so... our hope is not great."
This sentence was like a heavy stone thrown into the hearts of Diwu Xuan and Ice Bear Totem.
