After hearing these past secrets told by this ancient king from four thousand years ago, the other demigods might just be surprised, but Achilles's heart was churning.
Coming from the Greek and Western world, absorbing the power of faith to make oneself stronger, isn't this what is considered the orthodox pantheon in the European world in later generations?
Although the world has been enlarged several times, and the area of ??oceans and continents has been greatly expanded, to those omnipotent gods, they are just small villages. []
Achilles simply could not imagine that a place as big as a palm could accommodate so many pantheons, first the Greek pantheon, then the Eastern pantheon, the Egyptian pantheon, then the Odin pantheon, and maybe even the Mayan pantheon. pantheon and the Babylonian pantheon.
Considering the endless lifespan of gods, in the past countless years, countless gods have been born on the entire earth.
With such a huge number of gods crowded on this small earth, this living planet would be like a sheepfold, with gods everywhere.
In the world of Greece alone, in several epochs, not only tens of millions of gods were born, but 9.99 million. With so many gods crowded into the four realms, they would not even overwhelm the four realms. .
But all along, there are only a few gods that can be truly seen. So where have the other gods gone?
Achilles has been to the mysterious sea world more than once. It is a place full of spiritual energy and an extremely superior living environment, but it is also attached to the big world and its area is much smaller than the entire mortal world.
It seems that the gods don¡¯t like living in the sea world too much. In the huge sea world, there are only a handful of gods that can be seen.
As for the heaven and underworld, although the situation is better than that of the sea world, the gods in them are also very limited, much less than the gods residing in the mortal world. So where did the other gods go?
¡¡
That night was speechless. When a glimmer of light just appeared in the eastern sky, Achilles and others packed up their tents, had a quick bite, and then continued on their way.
The population on the grassland is sparse, and sometimes there are only one or two grassland tribes within a radius of dozens of miles. At first, they could still encounter grassland people grazing, but as they went deeper into the grassland, they could no longer see them. It's crowded.
In the eyes of the prairie people, the vast depths of the grassland are a forbidden land. As long as you get close there, you will encounter misfortune. Therefore, for thousands of years, almost no prairie people have dared to approach the forbidden land in their eyes.
Occasionally, there may be some demigods with outstanding martial arts who cross the vast grassland and enter the depths of the grassland to experience, hoping to obtain more powerful power from there.
But over hundreds of thousands of years, many demigods have entered the depths of the grassland, but in the end, only a few were able to come out.
And these legendary demigods who came out of the depths of the grassland seemed to have some kind of fear about it, and would never tell anyone about it.
The further you go into the grassland, the more desolate the grassland beneath your feet becomes, and from time to time you will encounter grassland groups such as wild horses and antelopes.
Because there is no human influence, the grassland creatures here are extremely comfortable. When Achilles and the others galloped past, these huge animals did not show any panic.
Just like the African savannah, this grassland, which is wider than the African savannah, is a kingdom of animals. On both sides of the river bank, there are densely packed animals.
Thousands of wild horses neighed and rolled away like a wave. Behind the horses, some wild wolves and lions hung far away, looking for opportunities to attack.
Achilles and the other six crossed the huge herd of horses, and when they approached the river, they caused a panic on the river bank.
Hundreds of buffaloes stared at their eyes, roared loudly, and dug their front hooves on the ground, apparently declaring their ownership of this section of the river to these latecomers.
Not to be outdone, the divine horses under Achilles and the others snorted, stamped their hooves on the ground, and looked up to the sky with a neighing sound like thunder.
Those six thunderous neighs fell heavily on the bison herd. The menacing bison, as if they had seen some ferocious beast, tucked their tails between their legs and scurried around in terror.
Suddenly, the entire river became extremely chaotic. Other animals drinking water by the river were frightened by the panicked bison., and then ran away into the distance.
Looking at the wild cattle, wild sheep and other grassland creatures that were fleeing, Achilles on the divine horse couldn't help but shook his head and laughed out loud.
By this not-so-wide river, Achilles and the others stopped. After a whole day of running fast, the horse was a little tired and needed a good rest so that he could continue on the road tomorrow.
When night falls over the grassland again, the waning moon in the sky shines with brilliance, and suddenly, a burst of wolf howls can be heard in the distance.
In the grassland, lions and leopards may be the most powerful animals, but they are not the most dangerous predators. Compared with those huge wolves, these tall beasts are much less harmful.
In the past few days after entering the grassland, Achilles and the others encountered several large wolf packs. Sadly, all the wolves that set their sights on them, without exception, became victims of the grassland. The richest fertilizer.
Night is when wolves are most active. Not far from the river where Achilles and the others live, a group of five or six hundred large wolves silently move towards the place of fire.
The few people chatting next to the campfire became quiet, and all looked towards the place where the huge wolf pack was hiding. Scaron took a bite of the plump piece of barbecue in his hand, and then took another big sip. Meijiu smiled and said, "These beasts are quite smart."
Achilles put down the barbecue in his hand, stood up, and smiled at a few people: "It's just a few hundred ordinary wild wolves, let me go and take care of them."
Sinise nodded and chuckled: "Be smarter, we are still waiting for you to come back and barbecue for us."
Hearing his words, Achilles was stunned for a moment, then grinned, picked up the spearman on the side, and walked straight towards the darkness in the distance.
Looking at the figure disappearing into the darkness, the five Sinis looked at each other. Nadris put away the smile on his face, lowered his voice and asked: "What do you think of him?"
Skarong tapped the bronze wine vessel in his hand gently with his fingers, and said in an unhurried voice: "The talent is extremely high. In these thousands of years, perhaps only Hercules can compare with him. The key is It¡¯s him who acts steadily and has a cool head.¡±
Atnis also nodded with deep understanding and said: "At only eleven years old, he possessed four rays of divinity. Even in the most glorious era of mankind, his talent was rarely matched by others."
Sinis, who had been silent all this time, looked at the darkness in the distance, where the sound of fighting could be heard, and the howls and whines of wild wolves could be heard endlessly.
"A hundred years ago, we pinned all our hopes on Hercules, but in the end Hercules still failed to escape that tragic fate and died on the road to growth. Now, another such person has been born among us humans. A peerless genius, I can only hope that he will not die before taking that step like Hercules did."
When they reach this level, they see many things clearly. They know that their fate has been determined. Even if they have the intention to change something, they may be counterproductive in the end.
A person's destiny can only be changed by himself. If others try to force him to change his destiny, not only will they not be able to help him, but they will harm him.
Just like Hercules back then, how many people wanted to help him change his tragic fate. Zeus, the ruler of the four realms, also took action more than once, but in the end Hercules still fell.
"We always need to do something. I have a bad feeling that this grassland will be the place where I die." Naderis said with a touch of sadness on his face and his words were heavy.
Delis stood up, looked up at the waning moon above his head, and said deeply: "We have lived for thousands of years, and life and death are no longer so important to us. I just Hope can leave the seeds of hope for us mortals."
"In these long years, those superior gods have been treating us like cattle and horses. In their eyes, we are just their playthings for fun. We can't even control our own life and death"
Sinis shook his hand, interrupted his blasphemous words, and said: "Although the fate line here has been disturbed, we still have to be careful in case what you said is introduced to Olympus. In the ears of the mountain gods, I¡¯m afraid it will bring disaster to all the demigods.¡±
At this point, he paused and said: "In order to protect Hercules, three of our old partners died. Now, after all, someone still has to make sacrifices for the hope of our humanity. Now??If the gods choose us, then the few of us must do our best to protect his safety. "
The other four people all nodded in agreement, and they all sat back by the bonfire, sipping the wine in their hands, saying nothing, seeming to be deep in thought.
After a bloody fight, the grassland became quiet again. The strong smell of blood filled the grassland and spread into the distance with the cold wind.
Achilles, covered in blood, returned from the darkness. Of the four hundred wild wolves, only a few dozen escaped in the end, and the others fell to his spearmen.
