Chapter 429: Above the River Styx
"Charon has become a god!"
The underworld, a dark and mysterious place, cold, silent, and lifeless, is the unchanging tone here, the place of death forgotten by the gods, the place of mortal souls, Asperdros.
However, in the deepest part of Asperdros, an invisible force shrouded here, completely different from the outside, like two heavens and earths, and countless undead spirits without intelligence flocked to this place from all over Asperdros, and then suddenly disappeared, not knowing where to go.
I don't know how long it took, I saw that in the depths of Asperdros, a deep black hole phantom suddenly appeared, in the center of the black hole, a white-robed god sitting cross-legged suddenly opened his eyes and looked up at the sky, a pair of eyes seemed to contain the stars and the reincarnation of the sun and the moon, and seemed to be able to see the mortal scene through the barriers of the world.
"Now that Charon has become a god and the rudiments of humanity have been formed, then next, it is also the turn of the underworld!" I saw the white-robed god smile slightly, turned his head, and looked at a certain place in the underworld,
"The layout of the past, I don't know if you can grasp this opportunity!"
At this time, the underworld, the raging river of pain, by the Akeron River.
A bearded boatman was standing on the boat, urging the surrounding undead to get on the boat with the rod in his hand, and every time an undead came, the boatman would block in front of him, asking him to cross the river for a certain fee before he could get on the boat, if he didn't want to, stop him from coming up, and the undead who resisted were all knocked down into the river with the rod in his hand, and fell into endless pain.
The boatman seemed to have long been accustomed to such a life, day after day, year after year, like an emotionless machine, numbly doing the same thing, only the occasional tangle in his eyes proved that he was not what he seemed.
The undead gathered more and more, and even a few of them had condensed into human form, and these people gathered together, looking at the strange boatman in front of them with some curiosity in their eyes.
"Is he Charon, the boatman of the underworld?" someone said.
"I've heard bards talk about the legends of the Underworld, and it is said that this Charon was already a boatman on the Styx when it opened up the Underworld!" the other nodded, affirming.
Where there are people, there is naturally a discussion, these people are different from ordinary undead, they are heroic spirits born after the death of heroes, and they keep the memories of their lives, so when they gather together, they can't help but start talking about interesting things in life!
"Speaking of Charon, I've heard a legendary hero!" someone said suddenly.
"You mean the centaur, the prophet Karon!" the man's heart moved, and his tone was a mixture of envy, awe, and remorse,
"I heard that he was already a god a few days ago, and he has ascended to the god throne as a mortal!"
Even legendary heroes are no exception, but how many heroes have been able to become gods throughout the ages? Those who can ascend to the throne of gods are all demigods with the blood of gods, and are favored by the main gods on Mount Olympus, such as Hercules.
It is almost impossible for heroes to ascend to the throne of gods as mortals, and the ascension of Karon to the throne seems to have broken this eternal law.
How can this not be the envy of these heroes, if they had known this, they would have been willing to give up everything, follow Caron, and learn the path to godhood!
"You say that Charon has become a god?" Just as everyone was full of envy and discussion, a hoarse and cold voice suddenly came.
When the Heroic Spirits heard this, they looked over one after another, only to see the boatman on the River Styx walking over with his body bent, his cloudy eyes shining with brilliance!
"Charon, you ......" The heroic spirits were surprised to hear Charon speak, this Styx boatman has many legends in the world, ruthless, greedy, but in any legend, I have heard him take the initiative to speak, just expressionless in front of the undead, asking for the fare.
"You haven't answered me yet!" said Charon, standing in front of them on the pole of the boat, as if he had not spoken for a long time, and Charon's voice was very hoarse!
"Yes...... Yes!" the Heroic Spirits swallowed and nodded in fear. Even if it is a legendary hero, he does not dare to hold it up in front of this boatman, after all, the story of this man is enough to be written into a thick book in the mortal world, and it is said that even the gods will not give the boat fare when they cross the river, and Charon will not let him get on the boat. They didn't want to anger the boatman and lose the chance to cross the river!
"The Prophet of Charon has indeed become a god, just three days ago!" the Heroic Spirits nodded, their tones full of envy
"Three days ago?" Charon's eyes lit up, he thought of the strange appearance of the River Styx three days ago, the river of pain was surging, the undead were roaring, and he was still curious about which god caused it, but he didn't expect it to be because Charon became a god!
Charon was not unaware of the path to godhood, and as a ferryman on the River Styx, he did not lack sources of information. When the undead enter the underworld, they need to pass through the River Styx and get on the boat of his boatman. As early as a few years ago, a heroic spirit came here and said that he was a disciple of Charon, and under the guidance of his teacher, he had embarked on the path to godhood!
Charon didn't believe in this, and he disdained Charon, believing that he was just wishful thinking and blinding ignorant mortals!
How can it be so easy, he doesn't know how long he has lived on this river Styx, suffering every day, polishing his divinity, just for that vague chance to become a god, even so, billions of years have passed, he is still far from becoming a god.
What is the ability of a centaur to boast that he has embarked on the road to godhood?
But now that he hears the words of the Heroic Spirits, he can't help but believe that Charon doesn't believe it, the Heroic Spirits won't lie to him, and there is no reason to lie to him, Charon's becoming a god should be true!
"A centaur has become a god, why do I still not see a chance to become a god after hundreds of millions of years in this Styx?" said Charon, unwillingly.
Silently turned around, reverted to numbness again, and continued to ask the undead for the fare.
Seeing this, the Heroic Spirits were a little puzzled, why did the boatman Charon pay attention to the fact that Charon became a god, just because their names were similar?
The Heroic Spirits, who couldn't figure it out, simply didn't think much about it, and after paying the fare, they boarded the ferry, and they needed to cross the River Styx to Elucion, where the heroes and benevolents went!
No one knows Charon's mood at this time, the centaur Keron's godhood left too much shock in his heart, can mortals really become gods?
For some reason, Charon suddenly thought of the mysterious god who had come to the underworld many years ago, and he had told himself that he could go to Asperdros to find him if he had figured it out!
"Becoming a god?" said Charon, looking up at the other side of the River Styx, his cloudy eyes glowing, and his mouth whispered.
