Chapter 273 Zeus Selects a Sacrifice

Prometheus was confused.

Although He is called a prophet, this is only because He can predict some things and is very smart, so He is given this title.

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

Therefore, He was confused and puzzled by the words coming out of the child before Him.

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

Perhaps, those words just now were just a few casual remarks made by the child and did not mean anything.

As for the prophecy?

How could a demigod be able to predict things, and predict the things of all the gods?

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

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

Sometimes, being too smart can lead to arrogance.

He didn't know much about Prometheus. He only knew that he deceived Zeus and then stole fire against Zeus' orders.

Speaking of which, Prometheus devoted himself to cultivating human beings. Either he was truly kind, or he wanted to overthrow Zeus with the help of human beings.

No one knows what He is thinking.

In addition, the misery of mankind is also related to his brother Epimetheus who was slow to realize the truth.

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

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

As a result, Epimetheus realized it later and gave all the talents in his bag of talents to animals, giving them wings, fur, claws, etc., but ignored humans.

By the time He reacted, He no longer had any talents or gifts to give to humans, which resulted in humans not gaining any special talents.

Without thick fur to keep warm in the cold, and sharp teeth and claws to hunt prey, they can only tremble in fear 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 level of strength as soon as possible, so as to have some self-protection ability in this world of Greek mythology.

In addition, he silently estimated how long it would take for his divine bloodline to undergo the next transformation using the power of physical transformation and amplification of natural talent.

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

About 340 million energy points can be accumulated in a year, plus the original one million or so remaining, it is not far from the more than million energy points required for transformation.

The most important thing now is to survive and develop!

Su Xing's eyes showed anticipation.

……

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

After Prometheus left, Hector and others quickly surrounded him.

"Terry, can you tell us what happened on this trip?"

"Yes, tell us what happened..."

Seeing their curious expressions, and eager to know what happened, Terry's expression brightened up, and he opened his mouth and told them what happened.

When Terry said that the person was not a god, some people started to discuss.

"I was saying, Terry, how could he be so lucky to meet a god?"

"So he is the son of God?"

"Which god's child is that?" For a moment, they were filled with curiosity.

Unfortunately, Terry didn't know which god's child that was. He just heard Prometheus call him the son of God.

As Terry continued to talk, Hector and others were filled with surprise.

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

Hector and others were confused.

"Will Prometheus anger Zeus, the king of the gods?"

"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 felt that it must be a few casual words spoken by the childish son of God.

After all, it wasn't just a casual remark, so could it be a prophecy?

A son of God, predicting things about God that even though they were human, they all found outrageous.

While this group of humans were talking, Boreas, the god of the north wind, who was hiding in the wind and happened to pass by, also heard their conversation.

He had wings on his back and a beard, and there was a look of surprise in his eyes as he looked at the extremely strong Boreas.

Afterwards, He didn't pay much attention to it. He just listened to it as something interesting and didn't take it seriously.

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

……

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

Just when Terry and others had almost forgotten about the Son of God, 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 the year before.

During the years of great famine, they humans had a very hard time.

However, humans need to respect the gods and need their protection, so sacrifices are necessary.

Even in years of severe famine, they had to slaughter a large bull, place it on the altar, and offer sacrifice to the gods.

But the good thing is that they don't need to sacrifice the whole cow. They just need to shave off the cow bones for sacrifice, and the meat of the big bull can be kept for sharing.

Prometheus, who happened to be passing by, saw this scene. His expression suddenly became complicated and he remembered something.

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

He was present when the gods discussed the requirements for human sacrifice.

In order to prevent humans from suffering excessive losses due to sacrifices, He also felt that since gods did not need to eat or drink, there was no need to offer such good sacrifices to the gods, which would be wasted.

So He came up with an idea and divided a cow into two parts.

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

In another pile, He placed a pile of white bones and covered them with a layer of snow-white beef fat. It was extremely beautiful and looked bigger than the other pile, forming a strong visual contrast between the two.

At that time, He directly let Zeus choose.

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

Seeing some were large and some were 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 heart."
