Chapter 43: The Difference and Relationship between the Priesthood and the Godhead and the Divinity
Mount Olympus, the palace of Hera -
Hera was sulking because Zeus was sulking for the birthday of Apollo and Artemis when Hera suddenly heard Zeus's voice spread throughout the world.
"O Leon! You have cared for and guarded Leto's birth, witnessed the birth of Apollo, the god of light, and Artemis, the god of the moon, and I hereby bestow upon you the title of Guardian of the Night. ”
Touch!!
"Zeus !!"
When Hera heard this, her face turned pale, and she immediately stood up. Just as he was about to go to the Temple of the Gods and ask Zeus for an explanation, suddenly, Hera heard Zeus's voice again.
"O Leon, Guardian of the Night, you taught Apollo, the god of light, the art of bow and arrow, and helped Apollo slay the infamous monster Pitong, hereby I, Zeus, canonize you as the servant god of the goddess of the night, Leto, and teach the god of the guardian of the night! Witness to the gods! ”
Hearing this, Hera's face was no longer iron-blue, but pitch black, Hera listened to Zeus's grand voice, gritted her teeth and said: "Zeus! You forced me! ”
After saying that, Hera's body changed, turned into a streamer of light, and disappeared into the palace, leaving only two traces of anger on the palace floor......

Temple of the Sea, Emperor of the Sea, Poseidon's abode -
Poseidon, who was watching the sea nymphs dancing and drinking and having fun, heard the voice of Zeus spread throughout the world.
But he couldn't help but glance up at the sky, the direction of Mount Olympus, took a sip of divine wine, showed a playful smile on his face, and said: "Zeus, Zeus, do you really like Leto so much?" Actually canonized a mortal as a god for her, or did you like that young man? There are so many goddesses...... Hawkers, forget it, you can be happy yourself, it's just that you actually canonized a mortal as a god for Leto, aren't you afraid of Hera's jealousy! ”
As he spoke, Poseidon drank all the divine wine in one gulp, turned his eyes back from the direction of looking at the sacred mountain of Olympus, and said, "Well, but it's okay, let's just think it's fun...... It's just that young man, but it's a pity! ”
Poseidon looked at the sea nymphs kneeling down because of the power of Li Ang's godhood, but he pursed his lips and waved his hand to disperse that might, thinking, "Really, although I know that when I become a god, the world will help the new gods spread the power of the gods and gain faith, but it is really troublesome and unhappy for such a thing to appear on my own territory!" …… Forget it, though. ’
While Poseidon was thinking about things, the sea nymphs below began to dance again......

The reactions of the powerful people who heard this voice and sensed the power in various parts of the world were different, some were disdainful, some were excited, some were disliked, but many more were still indifferent.

Mount Olympus, the Temple of the Gods -
No one knows what the gods think about their psychology, but now, they are all smiling and happy at the banquet.
At the banquet, Leon's mood was quite complicated, he felt an inexplicable force pouring into his body, and even Leon could clearly feel that his body was changing and strengthening, all these changes made Leon not know what to say, because now Leon clearly felt that the lifespan limit in his body had disappeared.
This sense of emptiness in the fulfillment of his wish made Leon feel a little uncomfortable, but after Leon thought that his wish was only halfway fulfilled, that feeling of emptiness disappeared, and was replaced by surging excitement.
Especially when Leon saw Zeus's high seat, the feeling was even more intense.
At this time, Apollo found Leon and said with a smile: "Leon, the guardian god of the night, how does it feel to be a god, does it feel that everything is different." ”
Hearing Apollo's voice, Leon came back to his senses, he looked at Apollo, and hurriedly said: "Lord Apollo, I was so excited that I forgot to say hello and thank you, this is really rude...... If it weren't for you, I might not have become a god! ”
"No, no, no, it's not me who you have to thank, it's my mother, your lord god Leto!" Apollo shook his head, looked at Leon seriously, and said.
When Li Ang heard this, he knew what Apollo was talking about, and hurriedly said: "Yes, what I want to thank should be Leto's crown!" ”
Hearing Leon's words, Apollo smiled with satisfaction, and then, as if remembering something, said to Leon: "Leon, you may not know the difference between gods! ”
"Is there any difference between the gods?" Leon asked, but in his heart he thought, 'Is there a difference in rank?' No, it shouldn't be, then is it a difference in the jurisdiction of the priesthood or something else, forget it, look at what Apollo said! ’
When Apollo heard Leon's question, he had an 'expected' expression on his face. Apollo coughed, then said, "There is a difference between the gods, like the minor gods over there. ”
Apollo said and looked at the gods who were drinking, and then said: "These little gods are not really gods, because they have no priesthood, only godhead and divinity......
"Wait, Crown Apollo, you say they are not real gods!" Hearing this, Leon interrupted what Apollo said with a surprised expression,
Apollo was also not angry, and continued: "Yes, you will know if you listen to me. ”
"I'm sorry, Lord Apollo, but I'm not going to interrupt you." Leon made an apologetic gesture and said to Apollo.
When Apollo saw this, he continued, saying, "Well, where is it, oh, speaking of Godhead and divinity. ”
At this point, Apollo pondered for a moment, and then said, "Well, I don't know how to describe the specifics, but I can tell you the difference between us gods who have priesthood and those 'gods' who don't, so maybe you will understand." ”
Saying that, Apollo cleared his throat and continued: "Well, like Zeus, he is the god of thunder, so he has the divine power to manipulate thunder and lightning, but he only manipulates thunder and lightning, but he is also a god king, so he has some other abilities, such as the right to be a god, and I am the god of light, so I can only manipulate the light, and I can't manipulate other things, but I can give the attributes of light to some objects." ”
"So that's why every god who has a priesthood has a fixed power, unless more priesthoods are given."
"And those gods who don't have priesthood, they don't have any abilities, except for the physique and divine power of the gods, they are actually no different from mortals. But they are true 'gods' because they too are immortal. ”
"It's the difference between the priesthood, and it's a difference between a 'god' and a real 'god.'"
"And the reason why those gods can also live forever is explained in the memory I have got, it is the relationship between the godhead, in fact, if those gods have no godhead, then they are only immortal and not immortal."
