Chapter 172 Divine Power Crystal
Olympus does not exist in the real universe.
Just like Asgard of the Norse gods is on the world tree, the Olympus gods live on Mount Olympus.
And this Mount Olympus is in another dimensional space.
This is a dimension of the gods, which does not exist in the real universe.
There is no night here, only eternal light, the light of the gods, shining on all living things.
Of course, this is the official statement.
In fact, this dimension is the same as other dimensions, there is no distinction between stars and planets, and the sun in the sky here is the incarnation of the sun god.
And Zeus, who loves to show off, does not like the night, so he makes the sun god never fall.
Those devout believers will also enter here after death to enjoy the eternal light.
When Hercules opened the world portal and came to Mount Olympus, he happened to appear in a party.
There were only twenty or so male or female gods or goddesses with colorful lights on their bodies, about three to five meters tall, handsome or beautiful.
They wore beautiful clothes or the emperor's new clothes, eating, drinking and having fun here.
The tables around were filled with delicious food and fine wine, and they were served by a group of handsome men and beautiful women.
However, compared with the carefree and happy gods, these believers looked numb, like robots.
After all, even the most devout believers, after thousands of years of continuous day-to-day work, watching the gods live this kind of life every day, how much faith is left in their hearts.
But the gods have long been accustomed to the numbness of mortal believers. After all, this is the daily life of the gods, and naturally they cannot suffer because of the feelings of mortals.
Hercules naturally knew the virtues of his companions, so after appearing here, he immediately prepared to take Zhao Hao away.
However, after seeing Hercules appear, the twenty or so gods immediately invited him enthusiastically.
"Look who's here, it's the god Hercules, haha..."
"Come on, come on, the god Hercules, come and sit here."
"We are celebrating the birthday of the great Zeus's pet, Tosa, who is who knows how many years old."
Hearing this reason to celebrate, Zhao Hao, who was next to Hercules, felt speechless.
And seeing that everyone around him took it for granted, he felt more deeply that these gods lived a luxurious and extravagant life.
But he didn't say anything, nor did he blame anything.
After all, the gods can live this kind of life, and they have lived for who knows how many tens of thousands of years, which means there is only reason.
Although there are still many people starving to death in the world, such as the gray-blue star people at the beginning, he is not a saint, and his love will not overflow to this extent.
But although he will not blame anything, his eyes make some gods not very happy.
The lack of flattery and caution in his eyes makes these gods very unhappy.
Soon, a god asked Hercules, "Is this guy your believer?"
Hercules shook his head immediately and said, "No, he wants to join us and learn how to absorb faith."
Hearing this, all the gods here were stunned, and even the wine glasses and food in their hands stopped.
Becoming a god with a mortal body has never happened again, except for the absurd time when Zeus was tens of thousands of years ago.
Because later, in order to ensure their uniqueness and irreplaceability, the gods of Olympus have banned gods from combining with mortals to give birth to offspring.
You can fall in love with mortals, you can combine with them, and even intermarry with them, but you can't have children.
Otherwise, according to Zeus's nature, Mount Olympus has been full of demigods for tens of thousands of years.
But contrary to the attitude of the gods, the believers who serve the gods are all bright-eyed.
Because they have seen too much of the absurdity of the gods they believe in, they understand that the so-called gods are just powerful lives, so naturally everyone has the idea that they can become gods.
Hercules naturally understands the ill intentions of the gods, and he also intends to use the hands of everyone to deal with Zhao Hao's idea, so he said: "I don't know where he got the way to absorb faith, but you all know the sequelae of absorbing faith like this.
I think he is a talent that can be cultivated, so I brought him back and told him how to get the divine crystal."
Although the gods cannot combine with mortals to give birth to offspring, it is not impossible for mortals to find ways to become gods themselves.
However, the gods are an extremely exclusive group, and it is not easy to get them to accept new members.
Although Zhao Hao does not know the ins and outs here, he also knows that Hercules would not have good intentions to introduce himself to those gods.
So he just said in a low voice: "I gave him an ownerless life planet, and he promised to give me a solution to absorb faith."
Hearing an ownerless life planet, the surrounding gods were stunned again.
So that's how it is, no wonder Hercules promised to give a mortal a solution to absorb faith.
Although the other party's reputation is considered good among the Olympian gods, it is not so good.
If it is exchanged for a planet, then it can be explained.
Thinking of this, the gods looked at Zhao Hao with less hostility.
After all, the qualifications are purchased with an ownerless life planet, and it is just a method of using the power crystal. There is still a long way to go before becoming a true god.
Besides, no matter how much they looked down on mortals, they still wanted to give Hercules some face.
Heracles saw the change in attitude of the gods and immediately figured out the key.
In this regard, he could only curse secretly in his heart.
This mortal was so cunning that he actually used his existence to resolve the hostility of the gods.
Although he is not the strongest under Zeus, his strength is ranked relatively high, so the gods will still give him face.
Thinking of this, he could only say to Zhao Hao depressedly: "Let's go, I will take you back to my palace and show you the power crystal."
After a while, Hercules flew up and flew towards his temple.
Because the Olympus dimension is so large, Hercules and Zhao Hao finally arrived at their destination after flying at the speed of light for more than ten minutes.
This is a building more than 100 meters high and covering an area of about one square kilometer.
It looked magnificent outside, and many people were walking in and out of the temple.
Among these people, some prayed, some worshiped the gods, some cleaned, and some wiped the walls.
There seems to be something divine and harmonious about it all.
Soon, Hercules and Zhao Hao stopped at the entrance of the temple.
The people around him immediately retreated, and then a group of saints dressed in cool clothes came out and began to change Hercules' clothes and feed him various foods.
Just when the saints were about to go over to serve Zhao Hao, Hercules waved his hand.
"Everyone, go down."
Upon hearing this, the saints immediately took their things and left without even a second's hesitation.
Hercules said to Zhao Hao: "Let's go, I will take you to see the power crystal."
Zhao Hao nodded and immediately followed Hercules' footsteps and walked into the temple.
The sound of "ta da da..." footsteps sounded crisply in the temple.
Zhao Hao looked curiously at the wall paintings around the corridor.
These images all describe a god, how great and benevolent he is.
They created the world, gave land and food for life to survive, drove away demons for ordinary mortals, prevented the destruction of the world, and so on.
Zhao Hao naturally knew that these were all fake.
After meeting Alitham, he naturally knew that the universe was created by gods and that life was also spread by gods.
These gods are just a group of more powerful beings.
After a while, Zhao Hao frowned slightly.
Because he was in a strange place, his mental energy was constantly sensing the surroundings, fearing any danger.
But there is no danger, but in his mental perception, whether it is those saints or those believers, these are more real than robots rather than lives.
Because after the saints retreated, they put down their things and then stood there blankly, motionless, as if waiting for new orders.
And these believers who worship and clean the house are also repeating their actions.
"It's so strange for you believers to feel like robots."
Facing Zhao Hao's doubts, Hercules suddenly smiled.
“There’s nothing strange about this, because they are not normal beings to begin with.
They were all the most devout believers during their lifetime, and after death they were guided by me to my kingdom of God to enjoy blessings. "
Zhao Hao smiled sarcastically.
"Enjoying happiness? Why didn't I see it? It's more like coming here to serve as a slave to your gods."
It turns out that what I saw was that the believers of the gods were the souls after death, and they were led by the gods to Olympus.
No wonder it's not like normal life.
Hercules shook his head, kept walking, and said: "What they longed for most during their lifetime was to enter the Kingdom of God after death, and I just fulfilled their wish.
Here, they don't have to eat, drink, or even sleep.
Isn't this what you mortals dream of most? "
Having said this, he opened a door, revealing the magnificent palace inside.
There is no one here, but it is kept extremely clean, and there seems to be no dust at all.
Zhao Hao said: "If what they dream of is to be able to make a perpetual motion machine and work for a lifetime, then it can only be said that this world is too absurd."
If these believers knew that the God they would enter after death would be like this, probably no one would want to come to the Kingdom of God, but would rather want to be reincarnated.
Just like a short video he saw before.
Humans have cracked the genetic code and can live for thousands of years.
Then the developer announced that it would be possible to get a mortgage of 700 years, so that everyone could afford a house.
At the same time, the retirement age has also changed from seventy to nine hundred and ninety.
Then people began to overturn this genetic code and return to their original lives.
Because what people want is to enjoy life, not endless work.
Hercules seemed unable to hear Zhao Hao's sarcasm, but said proudly: "Serving me is their greatest wish during their lifetime. For example, those saints, each of them will remain perfect until death, just to be able to die. Then serve me well.
I give them the opportunity to serve me, which is the best gift I can give them. "
After finishing speaking, he went directly to the center of the hall and plucked a milky-white spar from a pillar.
"This is the power crystal. You will know the effect after you use it."
Looking at the power crystal in front of him, Zhao Hao no longer bothered about those believers, but reached out to take it.
Hercules saw Zhao Hao reaching out and instinctively wanted to take his hand back.
The power crystal is a very precious resource and a must-have for every god.
But when he thought of the starfish and the other party's strength, he let the other party take the power crystal.
Forget it, compared to a planet, a power crystal is nothing.
As long as the mortal in front of him uses it, he will know the magic of the power crystal. At that time, if the other party still wants to get the power crystal, he can only work for him.
It seems that he has seen Zhao Hao working continuously under his command, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Zhao Hao looked at the tall Hercules in front of him, and his expression seemed a little strange, but he didn't think much about it, but took the arm-thick power crystal.
Because of the size difference between the two, for Hercules, it was only the size of a finger, but he couldn't hold it in one hand.
At this time, he suddenly had an absurd doubt.
In the legend, Zeus is known as a seed drill.
But according to the size difference between gods and humans, how did the other party do it?
Or how did those mortal women do it?
Shaking his head, he looked at the divine crystal in his hand and felt a very magical and mysterious power.
But when he felt it carefully, he seemed to feel nothing.
It seemed that the divine crystal was separated by a layer of something, which made his mental power unable to observe carefully.
"How should I use it?"
After saying that, he looked up at Hercules in confusion.
Facing Zhao Hao's doubts, Hercules just smiled slightly.
"When you absorb faith, just filter the faith power from the divine crystal.
But you have to remember that no matter how pure the faith is, it will be polluted and impurities.
The divine crystal can only purify a limited amount of pollution and impurities, so you have to try to absorb purer faith power to make the divine crystal last longer.
Okay, you can leave now, and the divine crystal is my gift to you."
After saying that, he waved his hand impatiently, as if he didn't care about Zhao Hao at all.
Seeing this, Zhao Hao could only take the divine crystal with doubts and leave the temple of Hercules.
After a while, Hercules looked at the direction where Zhao Hao left, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"The divine crystal is not so easy to get. Once you use it, you will know its benefits.
By then, you still want to get the divine crystal and start asking me for it."
