Chapter 273 Zeus Selects Sacrifices

Prometheus was confused.

Although he was called a prophet, it was only because he could predict some things and was very smart, so he was given this title.

But this does not mean that he knows everything and can predict it in advance. If he could, he would not be a prophet, but should be called the omniscient god.

Therefore, he was confused about what the child said.

After asking, seeing that the child had no intention of answering, Prometheus had to hide his confusion in his heart and left the Fairy Lake with Terry.

Perhaps, those words just now were just a few words said by the child casually, and they did not mean anything.

As for prophecy?

How could a demigod predict, and predict the things of the gods?

With Terry, the two of them gradually disappeared from the Fairy Lake.

Looking at their departing backs, Su Xing shook his head.

Sometimes, being too smart can also lead to arrogance.

He didn't know much about Prometheus, only that he deceived Zeus and then stole fire against Zeus's order.

Speaking of which, Prometheus was so dedicated to cultivating humans, either out of true kindness or because he wanted to overthrow Zeus through humans.

No one knew what he was thinking.

In addition, the fact that humans were so miserable was also related to his brother Epimetheus, who was slow to realize it.

There were three gods who created humans and animals, Prometheus, Epimetheus, and Athena.

Before creation, Zeus gave them a talent bag, which contained various talents, which was a gift from Zeus to humans and animals.

As a result, Epimetheus, who was slow to realize it, gave all the talents in the talent bag to animals, giving them wings, fur, claws, etc., but ignored humans.

When he reacted, there was no talent left to give to humans, which led to humans not gaining any special talents.

Without thick fur to keep warm in the cold, and without sharp teeth and claws to hunt prey, he could only shiver under the cruel nature and the threats of other creatures...

Without thinking any further, Su Xing closed his eyes and continued to practice, in an attempt to recover to the ninth-order limit as soon as possible, so that he could have some self-protection ability in this Greek mythology world.

In addition, he silently estimated how long it would take for the next transformation of the divine bloodline to transform the body and increase the power of the body.

"Well, it will take more than 600 days, that is, more than a year..."

About 3.4 million energy points can be accumulated in a year, plus the remaining one million or so, it is not far from the more than 7 million energy points required for the transformation.

The most important thing now is to survive and develop!

Su Xing's eyes showed expectation.

...

On the other side, Prometheus took Terry back to the human gathering place.

After Prometheus left, Hector and others quickly surrounded him.

"Terry, what happened this time? Can you tell us?"

"Yes, tell us quickly..."

They were curious and eager to know what happened. Terry's face was brightened, and he told them everything.

When Terry said that the man was not a god, the voices of discussion started.

"I said, Terry, how could he be so lucky to meet a god."

"So it's the son of a god?"

"Which god's child is that child?"

For a moment, they were full of curiosity.

Unfortunately, Terry didn't know which god's child that was, but only heard Prometheus call him the son of a god.

As Terry continued to talk, Hector and others were full of surprise.

Before Terry and Prometheus left, the son of a god, who looked six or seven years old, said a few words to Prometheus.

Hector and others were puzzled.

"Will Prometheus make Zeus, the king of gods, angry?"

"Prometheus is a god, what would a god need?"

After thinking for a long time, they still couldn't come up with an answer. They thought it was probably a few words said casually by the son of god.

After all, it was not a casual remark, could it be a prophecy?

A son of god predicted something about gods, even if they were human, they all felt it was outrageous.

No mistakes, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar!

Just when this group of humans were talking, Boreas, the god of the north wind, who was hiding in the wind, accidentally passed by and heard their conversation.

With wings on his back and a beard, he looked at the extremely strong Boreas with a look of surprise in his eyes.

Afterwards, He didn't care much, just listened to it as an interesting thing, and didn't take it to heart.

The next second, accompanied by a gust of wind, He left the gathering place of humans.

…

Time passed slowly, and more than a year passed in a blink of an eye.

Just when Terry and others had almost forgotten about the son of the gods, the deep forest area of ​​Fairy Lake had become a place of stories and legends in their eyes.

The weather was hot, many plants died, and animals were not as easy to hunt as they were two years ago.

In the famine year, they humans had a hard time.

However, humans needed to respect the gods and needed their protection, so they needed to perform sacrifices.

Even in a famine year, they had to slaughter a big bull and put it on the altar to sacrifice to the gods.

Fortunately, they did not need to sacrifice the whole bull, but only needed to shave the bones for sacrifice, and the meat of the big bull could be kept and shared.

This scene happened to be seen by Prometheus who passed by. His eyes suddenly became complicated and he remembered something.

Only when humans show respect will the gods protect them, and the best way to show respect is naturally to sacrifice.

When the gods discussed the requirements of human sacrifice, he was also present.

In order to prevent humans from losing too much due to sacrifice, he also felt that since gods did not need to eat or drink, there was no need to offer too good sacrifices to the gods and waste them.

So he came up with a plan and divided a cow into two parts.

One part was the lean and fat part, covered with cowhide, and on top of it he placed a cow's rumen, which looked very disgusting.

In the other pile, He placed a pile of bones covered with a layer of snow-white beef fat, which was extremely beautiful and looked larger than the other pile, forming a strong visual contrast.

At that time, He directly asked Zeus to choose.

Zeus didn't know what he was thinking about, and he was a little distracted, and didn't seem to notice anything unusual.

Seeing that one pile was big and the other was small, He smiled and said, "Son of Iapetus, my good friend, your distribution is so uneven!"

Prometheus smiled and said, "Zeus, the most glorious and greatest of the immortal gods, you can choose any one of the two piles according to your own wishes."
