Chapter 578 Apollo, Prophecy
"This is Delphi..."

Shen Fei and Yue Shen were walking on the busy street. It was more prosperous than Ephesus with people coming and going. The key point was that there were people discussing philosophy on the street around them.

Whether it is Socrates, Aristotle, etc.

The atmosphere of intellectual discussion in Delphi is much stronger than that in Ephesus.

"Let's go to the Temple of Apollo." Shen Fei naturally couldn't call Apollo directly. In fact, on the surface, even gods could not send their power to the mortal world at will.

Do you think you are Zeus?
The way that God has the most power and is the most correct to send down His power to the mortal world is through the call of believers, and usually only priests can call on God.

If Shen Fei wanted to find Apollo, he could only go to the Temple of Apollo.

Fortunately.

The divine power symbolized by Apollo is very down-to-earth. Although the Trojan side lost in the Trojan War, the belief in Apollo was not suppressed too much.

Later, Apollo even used his divine authority of art and prophecy to abolish Helios's solar status and obtain the divine authority of the sun.

This made him even more famous in Greece than before the Trojan War.

There were many people going to his temple in Delphi to worship and offer sacrifices. Shen Fei could get the directions by just asking casually.

After a while.

A magnificent Temple of Apollo, which looked like a square, appeared in the eyes of Shen Fei and Yue Shen.

In addition to the square paved with white marble, there is also a sacred road extending up, with monuments on both sides. The monuments contain sacrifices offered to Apollo by many city-states.

The city-state it came from and who the main worshipper was are all engraved on its body.

This road to the gods was also crowded with people, some even kneeling as they walked up slowly. Shen Fei raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw this, "It seems that Apollo's influence in Greece is beyond his imagination, and he feels that he is comparable to the king of gods Zeus."

As the road stretched upwards, the Temple of Apollo finally appeared in Shen Fei's eyes.

Compared to the Temple of Artemis, the Temple of Apollo is more exquisite, so exquisite that it seems like a work of art that does not belong in this world.

Just stepped into the Temple of Delphi, or the Temple of Apollo.

Then priests wearing priest robes hurried in. Their robes were embroidered with lyre, bow and arrow, laurel wreath, python, swan, crow and other symbols of Apollo's divine power.

The priest robe was draped on a young girl, who was younger than the Moon Goddess. She exuded a simple, youthful aura, and her pupils were clear and flawless.

"Pythia!"

The Moon Goddess spoke, and Pythia smiled and said, "Iphigenia, what brings you here?"

Although Pythia had not received any education, as a priest of Apollo and a priest who delivered oracles, she could easily know who the person in front of her was.

This is the power God gave her.

Being uneducated means not being polluted by the secular world. Only those who are naturally simple can convey the oracles to the world in their original form.

Otherwise, the oracle will only be distorted by those with ulterior motives.

But the Moon Goddess just took a step back, indicating that the leader this time was Shen Fei.

When Pythia saw Shen Fei, her pure eyes suddenly widened, more like an ignorant child, "Artemis's divine revelation."

The one who is inspired by God is different from these priests. The priests do have a high status, but in the system of gods, they are only the spokespersons of gods, responsible for conveying the oracles of gods.

But the one who is inspired by God represents the will of God on earth. As long as there is no god to stop him from doing what he does, it means that he is a god on earth.

Everything he does, says, and moves reflects the majesty of the gods.

"Hello." Shen Fei was still very polite to the priest of Apollo, mainly because the belief in Apollo himself was very prosperous in the mortal world.

Moreover, the divine power of [prophecy] that he possesses is such that it can be said that every oracle he makes will cause turmoil in the mortal world and even among the gods.

"follow me."

Pythia led Shen Fei into the temple and explained as they walked: "In the temple, the statue representing the god can only be second to the most conspicuous place is the sacred pool where the oracle descends.

This is the tolerance and kindness of our god towards mankind." Shen Fei nodded slightly, which shows that Apollo is indeed a god who is more on the side of humans. He knows the source of his divine power and is indeed very smart.

However, it is also possible that his own [Sun] theocracy was abolished through this method, and he was worried that Helios would take the [Sun] theocracy back in the same way.

In order to consolidate his divine power.

Pythia led Shen Fei to the statue of Apollo. Since he was a divine messenger, even Pythia could not talk to Shen Fei face to face.

Only under the gaze of the statue, Pythia will represent Apollo and the two sides can have a conversation with each other as gods behind the scenes.

The moment Shen Fei saw the statue of Apollo, he saw the symbols of Apollo flashing all around, and at the same time, the stone statue seemed to come alive suddenly.

He made Pythia, who was about to speak, shut her mouth and said respectfully, "Welcome to my God."

Shen Fei saw that the stone statue turned into an extremely handsome and masculine man, wearing a unique Greek garment decorated with a whole piece of uncut cloth.

"Artemis' divine revelation? Hasn't my sister been watching the birth of Alexander recently?"

Apollo looked at Shen Fei. Compared to Artemis' gentleness and coldness, Apollo was more enthusiastic and sunny.

"Dear Sun God, I came here to tell you that some gods will harm me."

"unfavorable?"

Apollo frowned slightly. He was dealing with other things during this period. Moreover, although his usurpation of the power of the Sun was in line with the Father's wishes, it also caused dissatisfaction among the old gods.

Therefore, he did not think too much about worldly affairs, and even rarely used oracles.

So he didn't pay attention to Artemis' affairs, but she was his twin sister after all, and the key was that they were natural collaborators on Mount Olympus, as they were born together.

It is often said that 'person' and 'divine authority' are similar.

If that were the case, they would not be born from the same source and would just become one person.

Shen Fei explained that the Temple of Artemis might be burned, and that Ares and Hephaestus were most likely behind it...

"Ares?"

Apollo frowned slightly, he knew how difficult Ares was and how extremely powerful he was.

If it weren't for the Trojan War, Athena would have weakened some of Ares's divine power of war.

In today's world dominated by war, Ares's strength is even comparable to that of his father Zeus.

As for Hephaestus, he only remembered that he had a very beautiful wife, and she was Ares's lover. Of course, Hephaestus' wife also seduced him, which made him remember it.
Apollo's eyes began to flash with a faint golden light, and the [Prophecy] divine power was activated.

But I found that the future that I could see in the past has turned into an extremely complicated thread.

Lachesis looked at the tangled mass of silk threads with a sad face, and seemed to have noticed Apollo's arrival.

She seemed to want to reveal something, but opened her mouth and stopped.

Apollo continued to look back, but could only see patches of fog.

In the end, all that could be seen was the Temple of Artemis burning in flames at the end of the mist, and the cry of a baby heard in the Kingdom of Macedonia.

[On the night when the silver bow breaks, the king with double pupils will tear the purple sky apart]

Apollo removed the divine power of the [Prophecy], and his originally bright face turned into a sad one. Even his [Prophecy] could not see the details in it?
Destiny?
These two words flashed through Apollo's mind. The only thing that could limit his [prophetic] divine power was the higher [fate].

But soon.

Apollo's gaze fell on Shen Fei. He possessed the divine power of [Prophecy] and could see the future which was almost a fog. He had a deeper understanding of [Prophecy].

It was hard for me to see that Ares and Hephaestus were behind this, so how did this person know?
"You stay here for two days, Pythia. Treat them well!"

Apollo looked at Shen Fei deeply, and then his figure turned back into a stone statue. Pythia looked at Shen Fei and the Moon Goddess, "Dear guests, please follow us."
