Chapter 30: The Puzzle
Outside Mount Olympus, the divine light is reflected in the poisonous mist, and the sky is distinct.
Although the Divine Domain was relatively calm, but there were some violent earthquakes occasionally, the Nymphs on the mountain, which can be understood as elves or goblins, were all frightened.
On Mount Olympus, the Nymphs usually come to serve the gods, and they have experienced such a big scene one by one, and under the fright, even Lu Ming, an outsider, did not take much precautions, and Lu Ming easily came to the temple of the god king.
Lu Ming had a question mark on his face.
What made Lu Ming feel the most strange was that he could inquire about the location of the Divine King Palace, he thought that when he entered the Divine King Palace, no matter how could someone interrogate him, right?
Although Lu Ming didn't have any evidence on him, since he came out of Athena's temple, or the canary asked him to wake up Zeus, he didn't panic at all, Lu Ming believed that these smart people must have taken this issue into account.
But the result is ...... It was indeed taken into account.
In front of the Temple of the God King, there was no one at all.
Lu Ming once again had a question mark on his face, you Greek gods ...... No matter how hard you fight the dystopian demon king, it won't even be garrisoned in the God King Palace, right? Didn't it say that Zeus was asleep and needed to be awakened?
Lu Ming couldn't laugh and cry, and asked a few nymph fairies, they only knew how to come to the Temple of the God King, as for waking Zeus...... Not to mention waking up, they didn't even know that Zeus was asleep.
I thought that here in the Temple of the God King, the guards always had some information, but Lu Ming actually thought at first, maybe he only needed to come here to bring a word, and explain to the people guarding here that 'Zeus needs to be awakened', and the task was directly completed - is it possible that now he really needs to wake up?
Entering the Hall of the God King, just when Lu Ming was still wondering if there would be a thunderbolt slashing down, there would always be some poisonous mist, rolling stones, poisonous arrows and the like when exploring the ancient tomb, he suddenly stretched out his right hand.
A piece of parchment fell from the air and landed on Lu Ming's hand, with this written on the paper.
[Gift Name: The Mystery of Zeus]

Second, the contestants solve the mystery of the Father's declaration.

2. The contestant has been playing for more than 30 days.

Olympus Seal.
Lu Ming: "......"
In the box garden, only the Demon King will force others to participate in the Gift Game, and this abuse of the host's authority will be hunted by the Heavenly Army and many other forces, but on the contrary, the Demon King is also feared by countless small and medium-sized communities.
However, the inability to force others to participate in the Bounty Game is only on the surface.
For example, in front of Lu Ming's eyes, the entire God King Palace is the scope of the Gift Game, and the moment he steps into the God King Palace, it means that the person who steps into it agrees to participate in the Gift Game - Yin People has more ways to do it.
In the box garden, it is impossible to perceive that the gift game is right in front of you, and it is also the fault of the parties who have strayed into it.
Hakoniwa is a paradise for the strong and a hell for the weak, and this is a place where the slave trade is allowed, and the 'talents' are allowed to be bought and sold unchecked, not to mention ordinary people.
The ordinary people in the box garden are barely okay, but it is largely because there is 'no value to be bought and sold'.
This human trafficking is not done by the Demon King, but also by the Divine Group, and many of the Divine Groups are also colluding with the Demon King, not to mention that the gods of this box court belong to the nest of 'because of the threat of Azi Dahaka, they don't even have the courage to fight to the death, so they choose to abandon the lower layer of the box court and recast the box court'.
Now it seems that he is quite brave when he first gets up with the dystopian demon king, but it is also a fact that the gods will be instigated in the future, either the group of people who are now brave are too forward, and most of them were killed by the dystopia demon king, and the group of cowards came to power later, or the price paid to defeat the dystopian demon king was too great, and this group of people was instigated, or the dystopian demon king was here, and the god group could not gather all the sun sovereignty to rebuild a new box court, so they could only be brave.
Lu Ming doesn't think that the gods can be a good thing, there are definitely people with extremely high moral standards, but there are not fewer people with poor moral standards-even that there are only a few noble ones, this is the norm.
For example, the gift game in front of Lu Ming does not have 'victory and defeat rewards' written on it, what if it says that the loser should be subordinate to the winner?
Lu Ming is not cowardly, after all, this kind of ability belongs to the spirit class, put it on him, to support him is to forcibly manipulate his physical actions, involving the spirit and brain, even if he is allowed to spit out the truth, he can't do it, and teleporting back to the reincarnation space in three months, it's a big deal that the mission fails, which is also the reason why he is not cowardly in the face of the Halloween Queen - if the canary doesn't stop it at that time, according to Lu Ming's guess, the Halloween Queen is likely to carry out some forced gift games and spiritual strikes on him, and when he finds that all this is ineffective, will enter the negotiation of conditions.
In the world of Box Garden, it is not an exaggeration to say that there are pits everywhere.
However, the bounty game in front of him did not write about the victory and defeat rewards, but was simply a game - or rather, the victory and defeat rewards of this game were already contained in the game rules.
Lu Ming sighed, crying and laughing, did this really throw the task of awakening Zeus to him?
…… This Zeus is also the goal of my mission?
Lu Ming shook his head slightly, Athena and the Yaqi Snake don't need him to think about it, no matter how you think about it, the goddess Athena should have her own cards, even if she can't win, it shouldn't be a problem to persist for a while.
On the contrary, the canary's side is more dangerous, using the prototype of the simulated star map to control the enemy, if the canary simply accelerates her own time, she may be able to resist for a while, but the other party will be forcibly controlled - the canary's ability will be extended to a second or even a hundred years and a thousand years, but it is also limited by her own and the opponent's spiritual personality, and besides, using the simulated star map like this, the canary canary can't even live a second of real time, Lu Ming really can't figure out how long she can last.
It may be a year or two years, or it may be an hour or two hours - the simulation of the Star Creation Map is the greatest quality and quantity in the box garden, not the highest star spirit or the largest growth of the dragon species, there is no possibility of head-on hostility at all, even if it is only the prototype of the simulation of the Star Creation Map, in today's Greece, only Athena and Zeus can interfere, and the other four-digit gods are powerless at all.
Lu Ming had thought about the Halloween Queen, but she didn't react now, and she was dragged back...... Dystopian Demon King himself? Or with a three-digit number that simulates a star chart? Or even just a two-digit forced shot?
In short, Lu Ming can only be self-reliant, and only hopes that Zeus is an ally.
Determined to be determined, on the walls of this hall, dozens of murals were carved, describing the origin of the Greek gods, and also showing Lu Ming, an outsider, part of the worldview of the box court.
First of all - there is no Kaos.
Not only Greece, there is no god in the entire box garden, Kaos means chaos, it means from nothing, this is usually regarded as personification in the online literature world, whether there is this Lu Ming among the true gods is not clear, but there is no Greek mythology in the box garden.
One of the core worldviews of Greek mythology, this deity does exist in the Theogony, which is regarded as the beginning of the Greek god system, but it is only the beginning, similar to the banner of Greek mythology.
There is also the super-primordial god Kronus in Greek mythology, who was descended and manifested as the first cause and root time, creating chaos and order - only recognized by the Orpheus cult as the supreme god, and other sects do not approve of this kind of blowing.
Brought into the mythology of Huaguo, it is similar to the eighty-one transformation of Taishang, and the transformation of Nuwa and the three Qings, and the myths of other contexts, such as the first king of the Yuan Shi Tianwang and the first of the gods, and the Taishang Laojun Lingbao Tianzun are all controlled by the Yuan Shi Tianwang - among each sect, the boss of his own family is the most bullish, and whoever can blow and force him, whose version is orthodox and who has the biggest fist.
Kronos in the box court is a pseudo-canon propagated by the Titan god king Kronos in order to improve his own spiritual personality, and the same is true for Ananke, the god of inevitable numbers, and the driving force behind it is the dark goddess Nix.
In fact, if the history of the real world is taken as the coordinates of the strength of the gods, this kind of rumor of the god system that is not extensive, Lu Ming also feels that it may not be true at the level of true gods - either these bigwigs are really awesome and don't care about the so-called power at all, so they didn't spread.
That's the same as not being there - you don't care about anything, other mythological factions ride on your face and say that your mythological system is fake, you don't care, you don't even retaliate, that is the same as someone else riding on your face and saying that your sect's propaganda is fake, you have no ability to retaliate, there is no difference to other people.
Among the true gods, there may be big guys who don't care about anything, but just believe in their younger brothers who know the power of the big guys, and the other sects are tough and keep introducing the gods they believe in.
In a world like Hakoniwa, where humans and gods observe each other, there may be powerful dragons and star spirits that are not known, but there is no god who has been influential, but who has been in the double digits in human history.
The Greek mythology of Hakoniwa, from Gaia.
The most widely circulated version of Greek mythology is also the version engraved in the frescoes in the temple of the god-king, from Gaia to Ouranos, to Kronos, and now the god-king Zeus.
Lu Ming held his chin in his hand, and the Star God War mentioned by Canary started when Gaia had a problem...... Ouranos is back on the pot?
The Mystery of the Greek God-King...... The wife curses her husband, the father curses the child, and it is passed down from generation to generation, and the child will eventually overthrow the father?
But when he got to Athena, it stopped, and it was clear that Zeus, like his father, devoured his own children, but his father was overthrown by his son, and he stayed in the position of god-king......
Lu Ming frowned slightly, Zeus can't be said to be intact, right? Now the other twelve gods are not in Olympus, but Zeus and Athena are?
Lu Ming doesn't know much about the relationship between these two in mythology, but what can be known is that in the animation industry, these two are by no means fathers and daughters, Athena and Hera are absolute opponents in mythology, and Lu Ming knows about the golden apple.
Suppose Zeus had a physical problem and had to fall asleep, why was Olympus not Hera, not Apollo, not Ares, but Athena?
…… Is Athena the next god-king?
Lu Ming rubbed his temples and straightened his thoughts again.
Zeus was supposed to be overthrown by the child but was not overthrown, and the curse should have been fulfilled...... Ananke? Violated the fixed number? The hand of the dark goddess Nyx, after the war of the stars and gods, there was another war within Greek mythology?
Lu Ming thought about it, and felt that the possibility should not be high, first, he had to believe in the wisdom of the canary, and the canary believed that he could solve the puzzle and wake up Zeus, then the truth should not be too biased, too biased, there is no means to verify it at all.
Second, he absolutely believed in the frescoes, which did not mention Ananke, from the defeat of Typhon to the civil war of the Greek heroes.
- After all, this is a game of grace without punishment, Lu Ming thinks that this should be to promote Zeus's exploits to the comers, then the answer must be hidden in this batch of carvings.
From Gaia to Zeus......
Lu Ming's eyes flickered slightly.
From another point of view, the history of human beings and the gods in the box garden are counted from each other's observations.
Gaia and Ouranos...... In the history of mankind, the transition from matrilineal to patrilineal clans?
The influence of these two gods alone may not be enough for human history, but if you count the treatment of Ingaia in the Star God War, the war between the five mother gods and other god groups that started in a short period of time should be enough to explain to the outside world the transition from matrilineal to patrilineal clans.
After that, from Ouranos to Kronos to Zeus, what does it represent?
Inspecting the murals, Lu Ming nodded.
If Greek mythology and human history tend to be related...... The question of the Greek god-king may have an answer.
From Ouranos onwards, the two changes in the position of the god-king may not represent anything, but simply a change of power.
Once, when reading Greek mythology, looking at the god king who was overthrown by a child, Lu Ming, because he was not old at the time, thought 'Why do you want to marry a wife when you know that you will be overthrown by a child', not 'why don't you set it'...... But the essence is the same.
If the child is born and swallowed in the belly, then why give birth?
In the box garden, the answer of the Greek gods is...... Had to be raw.
Fertility is the embodiment of patriarchy, in the ancient clan period, the clan leader who did not even have children was bound to be overthrown, fertility itself symbolized status, and in the box garden, the closer you get to the behavior of human history, the more power you will gain from human history.
Like Ouranos, the child cut off that thing with a scythe, so that in mythology, he was obviously above the rest of the children, but he could only return to the sky, and not hold the position of god-king.
After that, it was Zeus who overthrew Kronos, who cursed Zeus before he was sealed, and then Athena...... And from B.C. to the present 2,000 A.D. of the Hakoto calendar, Zeus is still the king of gods.
Moreover, Zeus was asleep, Athena stayed in Olympus, and Athena was even more of an old lady who wanted to hibernate, and she didn't have the intention of becoming a god king at all-for a moment, Lu Ming thought crookedly, but he quickly eliminated that possibility.
A deity who is not a virgin can also be a virgin, but a virgin must be – a virgin is sworn to remain a virgin, and the oath of the deity is no joke.
Lu Ming stopped in front of the mural of Zeus defeating Typhon, his face slightly dark.
Got it.
Athena rushed to meet the Yaki Orochi, and the canary went to stall for time...... It's not that you don't have time to wake up Zeus, you don't want to come at all?
The, one dirtier than the other.
