Chapter 86 The Sun’s Ambition and Vulcan’s Attempt

The ultimate flame reflects the ultimate light, and the ultimate light covers the real sun in this world.

When the night that appeared during the day receded like a tide, the god of fire also withdrew his power.

In this way, the real sun in this world can be seen by mortals. Only then can Apollo, the son of Zeus and the current sun god, perform his duty of illuminating the earth.

At this moment, he finally returned from the sky. His sister, now the moon god Artemis, contacted him and rode the new moon rising from Mount Olympus.

Returning to the Sun Temple belonging to the original Sun God Helios, Apollo looked into the sky through the temple door that had not yet been closed. His eyes fell on the zenith.

There is the highest point that the sun can reach in a day. But even the sun cannot stay there forever.

Apollo in the temple pursed his lips. Perhaps it was not that the "sun" could not stay there forever, but that he, Apollo, who was in charge of the sun, could not stay there forever.

Just because he had seen such a majestic "sun" with his own eyes, and "it" stayed there for a long time, radiating endless light and endless heat.

When was it?

Apollo felt that his will was not clear-he was reluctant to recall that person and that scene.

Maybe yesterday, maybe - just today.

The door of the temple was slowly closing, and the two little gods sent by Zeus, but not qualified to be remembered by Apollo, were faithfully performing their duties.

Under the orders of the God King, they took care of all the daily life and work of the sun god Apollo.

They did not need to consult Apollo to close the temple door.

Apollo, after all, is just a son of Zeus who has the authority of the sun. If it were not for the blessings of his fathers, it is hard to say which god would have the authority of the sun.

Moreover, in terms of serving as the sun, the current Apollo is not as good as the former sun god Helios.

So, "business as usual."

This is an order personally issued by Zeus, the supreme god-king of the Olympian pantheon.

At present, the movement of the Sun Temple and the movement of the sun are no different from when Helios was on the throne.

The door in the temple slowly closed, and the remaining gaps became fewer and fewer, but Apollo never took back his gaze that fell on the sky.

Until the last crack disappeared, he lowered his eyebrows and focused his gaze elsewhere.

He walked towards the window sill of the temple.

Since a residence has changed its owner, it is natural that it should bring something new. This window sill is it.

At the request of the Sun God Apollo, Zeus personally issued an order to decorate the Temple of the Sun for him, so that the temple located on the mountainside lost some traces of the former Sun God Helios and more traces of the current Sun God Apollo.

There is some literary atmosphere.

Through the window sill, you can see that not far from the Temple of the Sun, three newly built temples are shining brightly.

They belong to the three goddesses in charge of the four seasons, namely Tarot, the goddess of spring, Carbo, the goddess of summer, and Oxo, the goddess of autumn.

But in the past, these goddesses belonged to one temple, the Temple of the Sun.

Apollo ignored these, but looked at the window sill, where there was a piano and a harp.

As your fingers brush over the strings, a kind of authority related to music emerges.

He looked towards the sky and murmured to himself: "One day, I will also stand in the sky."

"I will accept faith and become stronger, and become as strong as you."

"No, he is stronger than you!"

…

Even counting from ancient times, faith cannot be called a new thing.

It has already emerged.

But no matter what time it is, faith has never been so valued in the hearts of the gods, and it is even relied on as a stepping stone for their own promotion, and even requires the gods to personally die and provide benefits to mortals.

This is because there are too many gods who want to gain faith, and the number of humans is not enough.

Mortals therefore have more choices.

Now is no longer any era in the past. Mere majesty and intimidation cannot get the sincerity of mortals. Only the satisfaction brought by enough favors can support one god to snatch believers from another god and support a god.

Gods go further on the road of faith.

On the blue seaside and golden sandy beach, Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty, sent an invitation to Aglaia, the goddess of radiance.

"Have you thought about it? Aglaia."

"Come with me to preach in the world, accept the faith and become stronger."

"Do you want to?"

On the golden sand, the two goddesses with only a piece of hair are so eye-catching. Their exquisite mutton-fat white jade-like bodies seem to have gathered all the beauty in the world.

They took a leisurely walk along the coastline and basked in the sun.

Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty, walks on the left, and Aglaia, the goddess of radiance, walks on the right.

The waves came and went away one after another, lapping at their white feet.

After receiving an invitation from a god whose power was far greater than her own, Aglaia, the goddess of radiance, did not respond immediately.

She stopped, and Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty, stopped with her.

They looked at the sea together and looked in the direction of Lemnos Island.

But only Aglaia knows that she doesn't want to go back yet.

On the island of Lemnos, the great God of Fire has designated his favored one. That person is not her.

But, it should have been hers...

It would be nice if... I had more power...

She looked at Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty, and lightly opened her red lips at the most beautiful among the gods.

"I do."

…

On the island of Lemnos, the god of fire and the fool met in the temple on the island.

"I don't know," said the foolish Epimetheus.

"There is no trace of the path to the origin. The footprints left by each person are different."

"There has never been a definite way to ensure that people can walk on the path of origin."

"If you want to follow my example and open up the world, I'm afraid it will be difficult."

Hephaestus nodded in agreement: "I know."

He immediately added: "Actually, it's not about imitating him. I've met Cronus. Although I don't understand his mysterious rhetoric, I also have some opinions of my own about walking on the path of origin."

"No external feedback and purity. If it was my roots that led me to walk in the past, then now it is time for me to repay it and carry it forward."

"Now that I have reached the limit given to me by my roots, it's time to try."

"If it doesn't succeed, I will channel the excess power to forcibly open up a real world."

"I will try to survive and hope to gain something."

"I'll leave this world to you during this period of time..."

ps: I wrote this in a tent. I found the campground after dark, but it was okay. I would call this campground the best three-star hotel.
