Chapter 65 The Secret Means of the Ancient Gods
Chapter 65 The secret methods of the ancient gods
After hesitating for a moment, Hephaestus retracted his thoughts, but his face was still filled with surprise and uncertainty.
With doubts in mind, he stood under the yellow sky of the "border" and looked at the human temple from a distance with the dim light.
Looking at it this way, more clues emerge.
Even with his great power, he couldn't really see everything in the temple. The temple seemed to be always hidden in a haze.
Hephaestus tried to trace its history.
The time in his eyes was blurred, and he saw the human beings who built this temple, the only human beings at that time.
The name of this human being is unknown, and another great god helps to cover everything up for him.
He claimed to be the priest of the sun god Anser, and told people that he was inspired by Anser.
Because he did bring several miracles early on, people quickly gathered around him.
In this way, Anser Church developed and expanded.
Hephaestus had been paying attention to the person behind the scenes, but he hid it very well and never showed up.
Even the person who claimed to have received divine enlightenment at the beginning disappeared into the long river of history very quickly after the Anser Church got on the right track. It was so fast that it was shocking.
Time flies to the present, and Hephaestus is still confused. He has not received any substantive news, but more of some patchwork fragments. At first glance, it looks like smoke released by the people behind the scenes.
It was like deliberately waiting for him to come to investigate.
The man's identity was never revealed, but every move he made pointed to his mother, Hera, the goddess in charge of marriage, both covertly and covertly.
Hephaestus remembered clearly that when the Anser Church was founded, the first Anser priest, the man who claimed to have divine enlightenment, planted a row of pomegranate trees in front of the temple and released a flock of cuckoos.
Both the cuckoo and the pomegranate tree were favorites of his mother Hera and were symbols of her.
Thinking of this, Hephaestus couldn't help but frown.
Speaking of which, his mother Hera may not have been to Lemnos Island for a long time, and she went somewhere unknown.
Because of this, the people behind the scenes are becoming more and more feared.
He knew Hera's whereabouts and could make these arrangements without restraint.
Similarly, it is very likely that He learned about Hephaestus' control of history a long time ago, and even witnessed it with his own eyes and observed it secretly for a period of time, so he was prepared for it.
He is also the only person whose face and name Hephaestus has not known so far in the past. For other gods, no matter how secretive things are, Hephaestus can more or less see part of the truth.
"well."
"My time of existence is too short after all."
Hephaestus sighed and landed on the surrounding floating island.
He more or less guessed how the people behind the scenes avoided him. They were just the beneficiaries of the secret war between the gods.
Most powerful gods were born to represent a source, such as Gaia for the earth, Ouranos for the sky, and Tartarus for the abyss.
But this representation does not mean that other gods cannot wield similar powers.
The gods soon discovered this, and the Secret War began.
While everyone insists on their own uniqueness, they are also always thinking about plundering other gods in order to expand their own heritage.
It is irrefutable that the Secret War did give birth to a group of middle-class gods, but it had little impact on the small group of people standing at the top, and even stabilized their status in disguise.
After all, in a fight, those who are strong will definitely have more advantages.
So it is obvious that the strong get stronger and the weak get weaker.
Hephaestus knew that he was just a latecomer. Although he was confident that he would not lose to any great god in terms of foundation and power, when it came to the variety of methods, he was far behind.
But he was not helpless.
Although his existence is still short, there is no shortage of ancient gods in the world.
Who doesn’t have a reliable and powerful friend?
He sat cross-legged at the "border" and wrote the second letter of the day to his friend Epimetheus by the dim light. The letter described his experiences and doubts in detail.
Then he ascended to the sky, and the history book and the streamer appeared in his hands at the same time. The power of words from the past and the clear light that illuminated the future firmly locked the Anser Temple in the human world, and quietly blocked everything around the temple.
, and at the same time, it also blocks the possible next move of the person behind the scenes.
After doing all this, Hephaestus nodded slightly.
All that's left is to wait patiently.
He is not afraid that the people behind the scenes will suddenly come out and destroy the traces. He stares at this place, thinking that no one can bypass him.
And since his various methods are no match for others, there is no need to waste time on this aspect. Head-on confrontation is what he is good at, and what the source of the flame is good at.
When the world beyond the "border" reached its peak, Epimetheus finally sent the news.
He didn't come in person, so it seemed like this incident was not a big deal.
Hephaestus opened a gap where the "border" connected with the real world, and a crow flapped its wings and flew in from the real world, holding a roll of sheepskin in its mouth.
Unfolding the sheepskin, there was a reply from Epimetheus.
It reads:
"I don't think you need to worry too much, my friend.
I didn't detect any danger signs for you.
Although your mother Hera is not a god with authority related to wisdom, she is equally wise and extraordinary. She must have known many things.
Metis, the original goddess of wisdom, was indeed still alive, and she did leave behind some means. However, Hera also had her own considerations, and it was she who took the initiative to let all this go.
Probably she wanted to completely end Metis' position in Zeus's heart, and permanently destroy Metis's delusion about the position of Queen of Heaven.
But with freedom of movement, she must be more proactive and flexible than Metis, who was imprisoned by Zeus in disguise, right?
There is also the Church of Ancer. I asked my brother Prometheus about it. He knows much more about this than me.
If possible, I hope he can end his time in captivity as soon as possible.
According to what he said, he briefly used his authority to speculate that the Church of Anser was indeed the work of Hera, and her purpose was unknown.
After Anser Church got on the right track, she crossed time and went to the future.
This method should come from Rhea, the goddess of time, or Cronus, the god king, but I didn't expect Hera to still have such a profound knowledge of time under the noses of these two people.
It's amazing to be able to travel across a short period of time. I don't know how powerful a god is, and he can truly travel back in time and change the past. Is this really possible? Is such power really still in the category of gods?
In these few days, Hera's Majesty should be walking out of the long river of time. You can wait for her at the temple of Anser Church in the human world, where she transcends time.
If something unusual happens, call me at any time.
Your friend - Epimetheus."
Hephaestus pondered for a moment, stretched out his hand to erase the writing on the sheepskin, and began to reply.
The reply was very brief, only two lines:
"I understand, thank you!
I will find a way to deal with Prometheus."
Then the crow with bright feathers picked up the rolled sheepskin in its mouth, flapped its wings and flew into the world, and the black figure quickly disappeared into the clouds.
