Greek Mythology: The Spiritual Dominator.

Chapter 151 Memory

Not knowing what was happening behind him, the black and white mist just passed by silently. Zeus took one step forward, passed through the invisible portal, and entered the spiritual world again.

Vaguely, he felt as if he had passed through three layers of barriers, two of which were the ones he accidentally broke last time. Finally, when the chaotic light and shadow returned to normal, he stepped on the ground that looked like bluestone.

Looking around, this is an open space without cover. In the distance, a large group of buildings of various shapes stretches endlessly. In the center of them, there is an ancient well that looks like it has been magnified countless times.

Zeus didn't feel any sense of danger from it, but there was an extremely heavy pressure on his heart.

Just like when he once faced his father, this had nothing to do with the strength of his power, but that there seemed to be an insurmountable gap between him and the other party, making it difficult for him to have the desire to fight.

"That's the [Well of Reincarnation]. It's what I was painstakingly building when you broke into the spiritual world a few days ago."

"Throughout the end of the Second Era, I spent a lot of time on it."

The plain and casual voice came, instantly breaking the strong sense of presence of the ancient well in the distance.

Zeus turned around, and there, a very young-looking god was sitting on a bluestone. His face is not very clear, or in other words, it is difficult to remember.

Beside him, the beautiful black-haired goddess stood quietly, with a lavender halo lingering around her. That was the Goddess of the Dark Moon, and the God King recognized her at a glance. Although she rarely walked in the world, there were records of her.

"I have taken the liberty to visit you, Lord of the Spirit World. I apologize to you for my previous intrusion into your domain."

Although he apologized, Zeus did not put himself in the lower position.

There may be a gap in strength between the two sides, but the status of the God King is granted by the world. At least in terms of attitude, he will pretend to communicate as equals.

"It doesn't matter, it's just a little thing. After all, you have learned a lesson."

"Speaking of which, the little guy who inherited part of the golden human memory does have prejudices against the gods. After all, when the gods created them, they originally regarded them as dust."

The tone is calm. Unlike the previous generation, if you look at it from the perspective of the God King, Ryan actually has nothing to say to him.

Most of the power that can be divided up in the world already has its owner, and he no longer sleeps in the core of the world most of the time like in the last era, assisting the spiritual world in digesting the source power. The current God King has no value to him. If the god in front of him is not called Zeus, Ryan would not even have the idea of ​​meeting him.

Perhaps in the original trajectory, the two gods of the dark night had such a mentality. It's just that Ryan can somewhat glimpse the corners from the records of later generations, and knows that Zeus can still turn over with faith.

But it’s hard to say what the specific strength is. Excluding the adulation and deification of rulers by later generations, there were conflicts between Zeus and Nyx twice, but in the end there was no real confrontation, and it is not known who was better.

"Golden Human, no wonder he is so repulsive to gods. I thought this was what you meant."

Perhaps it was because Ryan's attitude seemed more peaceful, which made Zeus feel more relaxed.

"Now the spirit world covers the entire world, and all the gods can detect its existence. Don't you know that there are many lives like before in the spirit world?"

"Quite a few, after all, many years have passed. Some of them are hostile to gods, but most of them have no opinions."

As if he didn't hear the implication of Zeus' words, Ryan said calmly:

"Of course, I don't really care what they think, just as I don't care what they do."

"Following the rules I set, the spirit world will not reject any visitors. You can come and go freely. Facing the malicious creatures here, it doesn't matter if you want to kill them. Everything you encounter here is your own business. .”

"That couldn't be better."

The God King nodded. After understanding the attitude of the Lord of the Spirit World towards the gods in this world, strictly speaking, this trip has ended successfully. But for Zeus, who had just been born for less than a century, he still had many questions he wanted to know.

"Speaking of which, not long ago, the sun was severely damaged because of my father, and the whereabouts of the ancient sun god are unknown. I heard that the Titan God once had a conflict with the spiritual world?"

Raising his head slightly, Ryan saw what the other person was thinking. In fact, what he cares about is not the sun, but the true whereabouts of the former God King who disappeared inexplicably.

However, Ryan had no intention of revealing what happened in the abyss. Since the other person openly asked about the sun, respond to him with the sun.

"That's what happened."

Standing up, Ryan showed a smile that puzzled Zeus. "Since you're so interested in this, come with me."

"It just so happens that no matter what, you are at least a God King. Since you are here, I will give you a gift."

······

Walking on the bluestone-paved avenue, the three of them moved forward slowly.

In the Eastern myths of later generations, reincarnation is the most important place in the world and the hub of all spirits, but this is not the case in Chaos.

The world instinctively knows that this is a good thing, but just like the magic network, it does not actually give any extra preferential treatment to this thing that does not exist in destiny. Even because this is a divine artifact rather than having a corresponding god, no one knows that there is such an existence as 'reincarnation' in the world.

It doesn't matter whether others know it or not, Ryan simply distorts the time in the world of spirits and stretches one day into a week. Now, it has begun preliminary operations.

So as he got closer to the [Well of Reincarnation], what caught Zeus's eyes was the sightless sight of tens of thousands of souls, slowly moving forward like puppets and leaping into the huge stone well at the end of his sight.

Looking at the stiff movements of these souls, for some reason, a silent feeling arose in the heart of the God King.

His intuition told him that he would never become like this, but this did not prevent the inexplicable atmosphere from infecting him.

"What's going on? They seem a little less active?"

Zeus asked in a low voice, trying to sound as normal as possible.

"Because they have already passed several levels. In fact, this is already the core of reincarnation."

Ryan did not respond, but Lyanna explained aloud:

"In the outer areas, except for those spiritual bodies with strong thoughts that remain on the surface of the spiritual world, those souls that have been absorbed by reincarnation are managed by one of the three custodians of the [World of All Spirits], Qiu and Momo. The goddess Erinye washed away the memory."

"Although the [Well of Reincarnation] can also do this, those memories will be erased by the power of reincarnation into the most primitive energy and integrated into the spiritual world itself. Compared with some energy, obviously the memory of the living being itself is more valuable .”

"Eradicate memory?"

Zeus was shocked. In the past, the world only knew that souls would return to the spirit world after death, but except for the heroic spirits in the sky who acted as star gods, few gods knew the fate of other souls.

Most of them think that the soul will continue to exist in the spiritual world until it exhausts everything and returns to nothingness. But today, Zeus felt that he had discovered a big secret. It turned out that after death, living beings would be deprived of their memories and put into this artifact called the "Well of Reincarnation".

In the simple cultural value of Khaos, memory is very noble and mysterious, which is also reflected in the myths of later generations and even caused exploration by many sages. Depriving them of their memory is an unimaginable punishment for them.

"So did they make a mistake?"

Although they were just some mortal objects, Zeus couldn't help but ask. He didn't care about the fate of mortal beings. He just wanted to know whether the master of the spirit world took pleasure in torturing living beings.

"No, it's just that they will be reborn."

Lyanna's calm voice continued, which was why she was unwilling to communicate with outside gods.

There are few secrets in the outside world to the spirit world, but everything in the spirit world is difficult for them to understand.

"We judge their achievements during their lifetime. Of course, because of different races, different statuses, and different locations, it is difficult to evaluate them as 'good' or 'evil.'"

"In short, with a few exceptions, those who have made extraordinary achievements among their own kind during their lifetime, or whose souls are stronger, will receive higher evaluations, and vice versa."

"According to the evaluation criteria, the other two custodians of [All Souls Realm] will give them different endowments and determine the place where they will be born in the next life."

"In the end, they just walked into the [Well of Reincarnation], as you can see." Pointing to the souls, Lyanna said: "They will be separated from their previous lives, reborn from death, and start a new life."

"In order to ensure the gap between the two lives, the memory cannot be retained. Otherwise, the hatred will last for life after life, and it will be difficult for all living beings to be freed."
