Chapter 11 Greek Family Tradition
After calming herself down briefly, Circe nodded in response.
“Yes, strictly speaking, the four stages of [Black Iron], [Bronze], [Silver], and [Gold] simply represent life’s continuous progress towards [God] and the [Age of God].
But [getting closer] does not mean [being the same], there is an essential difference between the two.
If the first four stages are merely the "quantity accumulation" of magic power and skills, then becoming a demigod is a "qualitative change" in life form.
Therefore, the advancement of the first four levels is often called [level advancement], while the desire to step into the realm of [demigod] is called [level advancement].
Only by becoming a demigod first can we truly begin to embark on the ladder to the realm of God."
Loen listened carefully, keeping Circe's story in mind, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
"So, demigods are much stronger than gold?"
"Much stronger? There's no comparison!"
Circe rolled her eyes and snapped her fingers.
In an instant, the sky on Aiyu Island changed suddenly, and the magic tide visible to the naked eye stretched for dozens of kilometers, constantly converging towards the center of the temple, forming a huge cyclone.
A strong sense of oppression came over him, and standing in the center of the storm, Lorne felt like a small boat in the raging waves, in danger of capsizing at any time.
“Bang!”
The sound of another snap of fingers echoed in his ears, and the tide of magic power that was surging and squeezing around him suddenly disappeared, and the sky became clear and blue again.
As if nothing had ever happened.
"Do you understand the difference? I wouldn't be afraid of a fight from someone like you."
Circe, who rarely showed off in front of her students, put one hand on her waist, raised her smooth chin, and her face was full of pride.
Nonsense, if I really couldn’t beat you, I would have beaten you a long time ago!
Loen ignored the boasting of the silly teacher, secretly complained in his heart, and at the same time put his hand on his chest where he was feeling palpitations, his brows unconsciously tightened.
Sure enough, demigods and gold are almost not the same species.
I have to work hard to induce a magic tide of about 30 meters, but this silly bird can stir up an ether storm that stretches for dozens of kilometers with just a flick of its finger. The difference between the two is simply incomparable. It is a technological gap that is difficult to overcome in all aspects from hardware to software.
Moreover, this is only the power at the demigod level. If they are real gods, the power they display in their gestures will be even more terrifying.
In the blink of an eye, mountains were moved and the seas were filled, and stars collapsed...!
When Loen thought of the records about gods in the epic, his mood couldn't help but become even heavier.
But soon, he suppressed the depression in his heart, and his eyes became extremely cold.
What about God? If he is killed, he will die!
Since the disappearance of Chaos God Chaos, the first generation of origin gods represented by Father Sky Uranus, Mother Earth Gaia, and Old Sea God Pontus seized the power to control the world, marking the beginning of the transformation of chaos from disorder to order.
Afterwards, the three origin gods representing the sky, the earth, and the ocean created and combined with each other, giving rise to a large number of descendants, strengthening their own groups and making their ruling position unshakable.
But in order to maintain the most powerful paternal authority, Uranus, the father of heaven, suppressed the growth and divinity of his offspring.
As he grew up, the Titan Kronos, who could no longer tolerate it, gathered himself and eleven other brothers and sisters, and with the help of Gaia, the mother earth, they castrated the father Uranus, deprived him of his authority, and built a great temple on Mount Othrys. Then he blew away a lot of gold coins from the old guys, and only then did he divide the power with his brothers and sisters.
The biggest victim among them was the old sea god Pontus.
According to Circe, the oldest god of the ocean had long ago exploded into pieces of his divine power, which were scattered throughout the original ocean and transformed into all kinds of strange sea beasts and gods and monsters.
The reason why the river god Oceanus and the ocean goddess Thesis, a couple among the twelve Titans, were able to give birth to a large offspring of 3,000 sons and 3,000 daughters was probably because they benefited a lot from the old man's capital.
Of course, using the word "death" to describe the fall of God may be too blasphemous. A more euphemistic term is "eternal sleep."
They came from origins and rules, and after being unable to maintain themselves, they will return to their essence. Flesh, blood, and divinity will become the cornerstones of the world and further perfect the entire Greek Age of Gods.
As the saying goes, when a whale dies, all things come to life. This is probably what it means.
By the way, in that long-ago [whale fall], this silly bird in front of us was also one of the indirect beneficiaries.
——According to the records in the Theogony, the river god Oceanus and the ocean goddess Tethys are Circe’s direct maternal grandfather and grandmother.
However, that was all in the past. The current ocean theocracy is under the control of Poseidon.
The succession of theocracy in Greece is a very good mechanism of "family inheritance".
The next generation usually needs to go through a lot of father-son farewells after they grow up before they can inherit the legacy of the old ones.
Today, the authority and territory of the Twelve Olympian Gods are based on the gold coins of the older generation who exploded the Twelve Titans.
According to Circe's testimony, during these two changes of theocracy, a large number of demigods, demons, and gods had fallen.
Therefore, with these precedents as reference, Loen does not think that those so-called gods are really invincible and immortal.
But having said that, times are different now.
Zeus, as the king of gods appointed by heaven, is much more difficult to deal with than the twelve Titans. He wants to follow the old ways of his predecessors and make use of the excellent family inheritance to give his father, the king of gods far away in Olympus, a show of father saying goodbye to son. To say that it is as difficult as hell is purely polite.
Forget it. There’s no point in thinking too much. Just do what you should do now.
Luo En exhaled the foul air in his chest and looked at his teacher dimly.
"Tell me, how can I become a demigod?"
"This is a rather complicated process. First of all, you must have the blood of a god. This is a necessary condition..."
"Then what?"
Circe glanced at Lorne's expressionless face, and her pink eyes flickered slightly.
Sure enough, this little piglet that drifted to Aiyu Island was not that simple.
But so what? Greece has so many secrets that I am not interested in caring about them.
Instead of thinking about those things, it is better to think about how to upgrade and adjust Xu Keong's formula.
——This is my favorite little piglet.
Seeing that silly teacher staring at him strangely, looking him up and down, with a hint of shiny saliva faintly flowing from the corner of his mouth, Loen immediately frowned and asked.
"Tell me, what should I do next!"
“Oh, I need the essence of blood to extract divinity and ignite the divine fire!”
Circe came to her senses and immediately answered with a dry cough.
Such a simple and general result made Loen frown.
"Can you be more specific?"
"Uh, no..."
"Then how did you rise from gold to demigod?"
"Me? I fell asleep one day and when I woke up, this is what happened..."
The demigod witch blinked her pink eyes with an innocent look on her face.
“…”
At this moment, Loen's forehead was full of black lines. He finally understood why Circe went around in circles on this topic.
Even she herself only has a vague understanding of the specific methods of emotional advancement.
However, it was not entirely without gain.
Based on the previous method description and Circe's individual case, Lorne could roughly guess the reason why this silly bird was upgraded.
Nothing else.
——After living for a long time, the blood is automatically purified through the cleansing of magic factors day by day, and then overflows with divinity, and finally the divine fire ignites spontaneously.
I'm afraid that for most gods, monsters and Titans, this is the more common path to promotion.
That is, to accumulate the gifts of talent over a long period of time and grow passively.
But this method, which is similar to lying down, will undoubtedly waste a lot of time.
Upon learning of the result, Loen frowned deeply.
He didn't think he could live to see the day when he surpassed Zeus in strength. Moreover, this passive strategy probably wouldn't allow him to catch up with the gap between him and the King of Gods in his lifetime.
After searching his mind in vain, he once again turned his searching eyes to Circe beside him.
“Is there a faster way?”
"No."
However, the demigod witch could only shake her head, indicating that she could do nothing to help.
Seeing that there was nothing useful to come out of this stupid bird's mouth, Loen could only wave his hands in frustration.
After getting permission to go through, the drowsy Circe suddenly became energetic. With a cheer, she rushed out of the temple and ran to the kitchen of her home to prepare dinner for the night.
——What should we do this time?
Well, let's try the new recipe I just came up with! Hugh Keong version 3.0!
Looking at the joyful back of the demigod witch, Loen stroked his forehead and smiled bitterly.
It seems that this silly bird can't be relied upon for the rest of the journey.
Well, now I can only ask another one.
Under the cold moonlight, Loen slowly turned around and looked quietly at the graceful lavender figure that had appeared in the temple at some point in time. She was sitting in front of the stone table, supporting herself with one hand, and looking at him with a smile.
I will update two chapters first, and there will be another chapter tomorrow at 12 noon. I will try to update 6,000 words every day. I hope readers will support my new book.
