Greek Mythology: My Father is the God-King Zeus

Chapter 217 The Power of Faith

Thinking of this, Athena felt that she wanted to collect faith, but the next second Athena put this idea behind her, because she felt that simply collecting faith was of no use. After all, everyone's faith was similar, so it was necessary to Find a more efficient way to collect faith, so that Persevani's eyes will shine.

So Athena returned to humans and carefully observed how the power of faith was formed.

Athena came to the world again. This time she did not rush to take action. Instead, she chose a prosperous city-state, quietly blended into the crowd, and observed the world as a bystander. She walked on the bustling streets, looking through the hustle and bustle and focusing on every ordinary person. Some of these people are in a hurry, and some are leisurely. Their expressions, movements, and words all reveal their inner beliefs and pursuits.

Athena noticed that the power of faith does not arise out of thin air. It comes from the belief and worship deep in people's hearts. This power is invisible and insubstantial, but it can influence people's thoughts and behaviors, and even change the direction of the world. She saw that in every corner of the city, the power of faith was quietly flowing. They may be strong or weak, but they all affect the world in their own way.

However, Athena also discovered a problem: although people's beliefs are strong, they are not unified.

Athena fell into deep thought, knowing that this question was not simple. She needs to delve deeper into the human inner world to find a solution. Therefore, she decided to temporarily put aside her plan to collect beliefs and devote herself to the study of the human mind.

And Persephany in the Pantheon said with a faint smile on his lips: "Did you find it? You are worthy of Athena, the goddess of wisdom?"

Next to her, Demeter looked at the smiling Persephone and asked with some confusion: "Goddess of Wisdom?"

Persevani nodded and said: "Mother, you don't think that I have lost the power of prophecy after becoming the King of Gods, do you? For me, prophecy is still simple, but Athena is also smart. She actually knows that I need to collect The power of faith is transformed into the power of heaven and earth, and she is using her own methods to increase the upper limit of the power of faith collected."

Demeter said hesitantly: "Little Persephone, since you already know how to do this, why don't you do it yourself? Do you have to wait for Athena to come?"

Persevani stared at Demeter with soft eyes and said: "Mother, this world is not my world alone. All the gods have to pay. If they let me make arrangements for them, then these gods will exist." What’s the meaning of?”

Demeter heard what Perseveni said and felt it made sense. If Persevanni had arranged everything, wouldn't they have become parasites?

Athena in the human city-state carefully studied the conditions for the generation of the power of faith.

Athena's observations in human city-states continued for a long time. She not only observes people's daily behavior, but also listens to their conversations and even tries to understand their dreams. She found that the power of faith is closely related to people's emotions, experiences and environment. Each person's beliefs are unique, but they all stem from common human emotional needs: the desire for security, love, respect, and self-actualization.

Over time, Athena gradually understood the nature of the power of faith. She realized that this kind of power cannot be simply collected, but needs to be cultivated and enhanced through interaction and communication with people. So she decided to take a more active approach to influencing people's beliefs.

Then she carefully studied the souls of those dead humans. Suddenly she frowned and muttered: "Why do humans in the soul state have no power of faith? My feeling is correct! The power of faith is obviously derived from the soul!"

While Athena was thinking, Apollo came over. He came to Athena's side and said: "Athena, you are studying how the power of faith is generated!"

Athena looked at Apollo's handsome face, frowned and said, "Apollo, so what? What do you want to do? Do you know that we were enemies before?"

Apollo smiled slightly and said: "Athena, you don't need to test me like that. You must know that only interests are absolute in the world. Didn't you betray Zeus?"

Athena sneered and said: "Apollo, I am different from you. I just want to save my mother."

Apollo sighed, staring deeply at the towering Mount Olympus in the distance and said: "Athena, do you know? I have participated in the battle against Zeus before, and I failed. There is no way to fight back in front of Zeus, but Zeus was beaten to the ground by Persephone. This is so unacceptable!"

Athena had a surprised expression on her face when she heard Apollo's words. She did not know that Apollo had ever participated in the battle against Zeus, nor did she expect that he would express his admiration for Persephone and his dissatisfaction with Zeus so outspokenly.

Seeing Athena's expression, Apollo continued: "Your Highness Athena, I know that you are now very interested in the power of human faith. I am the same. I think Your Highness Persephone can become the new king of the gods, that is The power to be able to walk on the wave of the world, so I also want to be one of those trendsetters.”

Athena was silent for a moment, thinking about what Apollo's purpose was. When he said this, did he want to become the second Persevanni?

Apollo saw Athena lost in thought and continued: "Your Highness Athena, I know we have had conflicts before, but aren't there greater interests now?"

Athena said after a while: "Your Highness Apollo, if only one god can sit in that seat, what will you do?"

Apollo knew that what Athena was talking about was the location of the last primitive god. As for why it was the last one, that was because Persevani revealed it when talking with Erebus.

Under the influence of Persephany's power, this world can only give birth to ten original gods, and the first five have already occupied half of them. Persephany's mother, Nyx, and the son of Erebus Hypnos, the god of sleep, will become the seventh and eighth, and Persevani previously wanted to make all three of his gods the original gods.

Although Apollo didn't know why little Eros, Hebe, and Hogros suddenly became Persephone's gods, this did not prevent Apollo from guessing that Persephany did not occupy that original god. The position of God, otherwise, how could he have the confidence to make all his gods the original gods?

There is even a terrifying speculation in Apollo's heart that Persephany is the reincarnation of the dead Eros. Apollo hesitated for a while and said: "Your Highness Athena, this position will only be created between outsiders. Even if the other one has no chance to become the original god, he will still be under the protection of the other one. Is this okay? Athena Your Highness."

When Athena heard Apollo's words, a burst of complicated emotions surged in her heart. She knew that there was a deep meaning in Apollo's words, which seemed to imply some kind of alliance or common goal between the two of them. However, Athena was not a god who trusted others easily, and she needed more information and assurance to determine Apollo's true intentions.

She took a deep look at Apollo and said slowly: "Your Highness Apollo, your words interest me very much. However, we all need to understand that becoming a primitive god is not a simple matter. We don't even have the chance. Not found, the only one of value is His Highness Persevani, but can we really do that? You have to know how we, as gods, can tolerate the existence of an equal to ourselves."

Apollo did not feel discouraged or disappointed when he heard Athena's words, but showed a firm look in his eyes. He knew that Athena was testing him and reminding him that becoming a primitive god was not something that could be easily achieved.

He took a deep breath, looked into Athena's eyes and said: "Your Highness Athena, I know this is difficult. However, I am willing to make every effort to try. I believe that under the guidance of Your Highness Persephany, I You can find your own path. I also believe that as long as we join forces, nothing is impossible."

Athena knew that Apollo meant that as long as they united, there would always be time to find a way to break through. As for why the four original gods didn't mind other gods breaking through to the same realm as them, ignore this matter for now.

As for the pie being poisonous, there must be pie! At least the position of the last primitive god is real.

So Apollo continued: "Dear Your Highness Athena, do you know? Our current level is still too slow. We need to raise the level quickly. I once made a prophecy that there will be a war after this. This battle will cause the world to be shattered, and even the original gods to fall. If we want to protect ourselves, then we must try our best to improve our strength."

Athena looked at Apollo's face and knew that he had already taken out the things from the bottom of the box. Not many gods in the world should know about this prophecy! Thinking of this, Athena smiled slightly and said: "Happy cooperation, Your Highness Apollo. "

"Happy cooperation, Your Highness Athena."

So they looked at each other and smiled, forgetting all the unpleasantness in the past.

Athena said frankly: "Your Highness Apollo, I have just been studying how the power of faith is generated. I found that only living humans can give birth to the power of faith. Human souls in the soul state cannot give birth to the power of faith."

Apollo frowned and said: "Your Highness Athena, are you feeling wrong? I remember that plants can also give birth to the power of faith, but plants seem to have no souls, and Hades, as the previous generation of Pluto, and his subordinate Pluto God has a lot of power of faith, you wouldn’t think that these powers of faith are given by living people.”

After hearing Apollo's words, Athena fell into deep thought. Apollo's words reminded her that her previous observations might be biased. Indeed, both plants and the dead may produce the power of faith, but she did not feel the faith of the dead. There must be a deeper reason behind this.

She decided to go deep into the city-state again, this time not only to observe living humans, but also to study plants, the dead, and all existences that might generate the power of faith.

Apollo looked at Athena who was deep in thought and knew that she had a new plan. He did not disturb her, but stood quietly, waiting for her decision.

After a while, Athena raised her head, her eyes shining with determination. She said to Apollo: "Your Highness Apollo, you are right. I did miss something in my previous observations. Now, I need to go among those humans again to study all the existences that may produce the power of faith. Are you willing to accompany me? Shall I go with you?"

Apollo smiled slightly, nodded and said: "Of course, Your Highness Athena. I believe that our cooperation will definitely find the answer."

So, Athena and Apollo came to the world again. This time, their goals were clearer and their observations more detailed. They not only observed living humans, but also studied plants, the dead, and other beings that might generate the power of faith.

During their observations, they discovered some interesting phenomena. Although plants have no souls, they can grow by absorbing sunlight, rain and dew. This growth process seems to contain a power similar to the power of faith. Although the dead have lost their lives, the power of their faith does not seem to have completely dissipated, but exists in the world in another form.

These discoveries gave Athena and Apollo a deeper understanding of the power of faith. They began to think about what kind of power is the power of faith? How did it come about? How does it affect the world?

In their thinking, they gradually realized that the power of faith is not a single force, but is produced by the joint action of multiple factors. It is not only related to people's beliefs and worship, but also inextricably linked to the essence of life, the rules of the world, and the core of the soul.

Then Athena's eyes shone a little, and she said to Apollo next to her: "Dear Your Highness Apollo, I feel it, and I know how to expand the power of faith."

"Unexpectedly, we have ignored the fact that it is the soul. Plants also have souls, but this soul is too weak. Faith is an invisible thing. It is born together with the soul, and the soul is born in the body of a newborn baby. I’m afraid that your Highness Little Eros will come to help. As long as he comes to help, then maybe this problem can be solved.”

Apollo said solemnly: "That has something to do with the law of fertility, but we find ways to enhance the soul of life, and even make plants become like animals and humans, so that the power of faith they provide will increase, then we will I can be appreciated by His Highness Persevani."
