In the boundless wilderness, the young man stood in front of the road.
Compared with a few years ago, young people appear to be more mature. They no longer have the childlike innocence, but are replaced by youthful confidence and vitality in their eyebrows.
He is tall, muscular, handsome and strong. He is a rare handsome man in the whole world.
At this moment, this handsome man was touching his chin, lost in thought in front of the road.
There are two completely different paths before young people.
A road is broad and flat, and not far away you can see a glorious road full of flowers and gold. Not far away on that road, power, food, love, happiness... everything is available.
The other road is a rugged and difficult path, full of thorns, venomous snakes and beasts looming, but its end is almost far away. Countless skeletons and bones lie on the ground. They are all former travelers, but they have not been able to get there.
The end of the road.
Two roads were placed in front of the young man, and he did not know which one he should choose.
Just when the young man hesitated, two groups of light appeared, and two noble goddesses emerged from the light.
One person is dignified and polite, with gentle eyes and wearing a white robe. The other person has a slim figure, a charming temperament, and a confident mouth.
"Hello, hesitant traveler, I am the goddess of happiness. At this crossroads in life, it seems that you are confused. Do you need me to help you?"
The charming woman raised her head and spoke to the young man proudly and confidently.
When the dazed young man saw this goddess, he didn't know why, and he wasn't surprised. Instead, he smiled.
"Ah, goddess of happiness, I am confused about my future. It would be best if you could explain it to me."
The goddess of happiness smiled, her smile was sweet.
"Look, Alcides, everyone should follow in my footsteps and walk on that light and happy road."
"Look, you and I know very well how powerful you are. Your power can defeat all enemies in the world. As long as you are willing, you can have countless fine wines and delicious food. All kings should bow to you, the most beautiful woman in the world.
She should also be your wife."
"Believe me and believe in yourself, you can do all of this. You don't have to work and be tired. You will have many, many friends and lovers and live a calm and happy life."
"Alcides, come with me. You don't have to listen with your ears, and you don't have to see with your eyes. Follow me, and I won't burden you. You will live in a very comfortable life."
At this time, another woman came forward. This elegant and solemn lady faced the young man and bowed politely.
"Alcides, my name is Glory, and some people call me Morality."
"Dear friend, just as enjoyment... or happiness as she calls it, she did not lie to you. If you are willing, you will indeed get that. But before you make a choice, please allow me to show you another
A completely different path."
The serious goddess raised her head slightly.
"I am not like pleasure, my tongue is not agile, and I do not know lies. I must tell you, if you want to follow me, I will give you the greatest test."
"Only by sowing can one reap, and only by experiencing hardship can one grow."
"If you want to gain respect from the world, you must become a benefactor to the world. If you want to gain unparalleled fame, you must establish unparalleled achievements. You must go through countless hardships and create countless great achievements.
Only in the end can we achieve the achievement that is enough to make any man excited and have the whole world in the palm of his hand."
"Come on, morality."
The goddess of pleasure, or as she called herself, the goddess of happiness, laughed sarcastically.
"You have led him down a difficult and endless road."
"Look at the skeletons and bones on that road. They are all heroes who once were the best. They listened to your words and went to fight against beasts and monsters, to fight on the battlefield, and to take risks on the sea. But they almost
No one can enjoy their old age in peace. They either die in the hands of their enemies, are eaten by monsters in the sea, or die in obscurity in the deserted wilderness. Even if they are lucky enough to survive this horrific trial,
All that awaits them is injuries and illnesses all over their bodies and the coughs caused by old age."
"They could have used their own power to achieve a beautiful and happy life, enjoy fine wine and food, power and beautiful women, and sleep comfortably. I would lead them on a happy path. Using their power, they could be happy throughout their lives."
"But they gave up their comfortable and happy life just because they believed what you said."
As she spoke, the goddess of pleasure looked at the young man, put her red lips close to the young man's ear, and whispered quietly.
"Think about it, you were born so powerful, what could you do wrong? Why do you have to listen to that old-fashioned woman?"
"Believe me, as long as you are willing, you can do whatever you want, you can get everything you want, and you can live happily for the rest of your life. What about those gods who are high above? No matter it is the pretty ones in the forest
Nymphs, even those noble goddesses in the sky, they should kneel at your feet and kiss your toes, and you should defeat all the gods and humans in the sky and on the earth and become the only master of the world."
"Alcides, powerful Alcides, you know, you have this power, you have always known this. As long as you are willing, you can also have that person..."
As he said this, a picture of enjoyment appeared in front of the young man.
In that future where enjoyment is shown to young people, young people act recklessly on the earth, and mortals on the earth are simply unable to resist such a powerful force.
He had thousands of wives and concubines, mountains of treasures, and all his enemies were trampled to death. The survivors could only moan in fear and tremble in front of him. But this was still not enough to satisfy the young man's desire.
.
He is an unprecedented demigod, a being more powerful than a god. His ambitions are endless, so he built the largest army in history, went to Mount Olympus, and fought against the gods. Queen Hera,
The beautiful gods Aphrodite and Athena were just playthings in his hands, but the king of gods was finally defeated and surrendered to him.
In the end, even God was defeated by him, and he sat on the highest throne in heaven and earth, becoming the only master.
All beauties, all treasures, all power, everything belongs to him.
The whole world is chanting his name, the new God of War, the new King of the Gods, and the new Father of the Gods.
And in that future, the person he had longed for when he was a child finally came to him.
The cold and pale face, the girlish appearance that remained the same as before, and the silent and noble figure finally served beside his throne, praying for his love.
The young man's breathing seemed to slow down for a moment.
He was moved.
Everything in the world, everything a man fantasizes about is right in front of his eyes, who wouldn't be moved by it?
And just when the young man's heart was wavering, pleasure kept whispering in his ears.
"Alcides, you know you can do all this if you want."
But at this moment, another voice sounded.
"Alcides, but is this really what you want?"
There was a little pity in Daode's eyes.
"You have powerful power in your body, and you can indeed use it to do whatever you want, but are these really what you want?"
"Have fun, you make people's desires endless, and they want to get more after they get it."
"You are obviously full, but you still want to continue eating, making yourself bloated and fat; you continue to drink fine wine until you are so drunk that you lose your noble body."
"No matter how soft the bed is, you will never be satisfied. You will toss and turn and not be able to sleep. You will sleep lazily during the day, and when you get older, you will be ashamed of yourself for wasting your time in the past."
"You make people forget their noble souls and become like ignorant beasts, only knowing how to endlessly satisfy their endless desires."
"Smart people stay away from you, and upright people abandon you. Although you are immortal, you will never be able to enter the ranks of the gods and be respected by the world."
Enjoyment blushed at the ridicule and screamed.
"Then what can you do? You let those strong people die in vain, let them be full of injuries, live a lifetime without knowing what a happy life is like. Morality, this is what you guide
Road?"
"Respect, ideals, and self-realization are the rewards I give to my followers."
Facing the accusation of pleasure, the noble and reserved goddess looked directly at her without fear.
Daode continued.
"On this difficult and difficult road, although my followers died, their names are still sung by people, children look forward to them, young people want to be like them, and old people respect them."
"They are on the thorny path, but they are never confused in their hearts. They sing happily every day and walk on the path they believe in. Their conscience makes them feel comfortable and at ease."
"They gained people's respect, realized their ideals, and proved their pursuits."
Then, Daode bowed to the young man.
"Alcides, you have great power. But if you don't know what you really want and try to satisfy your desires in vain, even if you have invincible power, what can you do?"
"A life swallowed up by endless desires is sad. Choose the path of true happiness."
Charming pleasure, noble and pure morality, the two goddesses stand in front of the young man, and they are like two different paths.
"You know, which path is the path to a happy and relaxed life..."
"Your power shouldn't just be this..."
Faced with the attentive or sincere words of the two goddesses, the young man finally made his choice.
Lift your feet and take the first step in life.
So, I woke up from the dream...
Nano City, in the temple, the young man wakes up.
Although he could not quite remember the content of the dream, it seemed that he had finally figured something out.
He blinked and shouted.
"That picture, where is the goddess now?"
That picture is a statue in the temple and a steam guard, who usually waits in the young man's room.
"The goddess is praying before the Father of Snakes."
The half-human, half-snake statue opened its eyes and made a low voice.
The young man jumped off the bed and rushed out of the room without looking back.
"Son of God, where are you going?"
"I figured it out, I finally figured it out, I want to say goodbye to the goddess now."
The young man who rushed out of the room had excitement on his face. He finally understood what he should do.
He jumped on the rooftops of Nano City and ran in the wild fields outside the city where he played. These were places he had been familiar with since he was a child, and now, he passed them one by one.
So, he came to the towering mountains.
These are the scales on the father of the snake. Relying on his amazing physique, he climbed these tall and steep mountains as if he was tireless.
One mountain, another mountain, another mountain...
The sharp mountain cliffs cut his fingers and oozed blood, but he didn't care because he had already made up his mind to say goodbye to the goddess at the end and then find his own path.
So, when this young and energetic young man climbed up a mountain peak, he finally saw the goddess who was praying silently on the mountain peak.
"Mona!"
The praying figure opened his eyes, turned around, and stared at him silently.
Waving to the goddess excitedly, the bright-eyed young man shouted.
