Simultaneous travel: City, infinite evolution

Watching the divine battle between Athena and Medusa, Guinevere, the ancestor of the Earth Mother Goddess, sighed: "It seems that the appearance of Athena's divinity in this world has attracted the covetousness of Medusa, who shares the same origin."

Since they share a similar origin, they are bound to fight and struggle, ultimately devouring each other until only one remains.

"Is Athena alright?" Liliana asked worriedly.

“It’s alright. Athena’s divine status and power as a triune goddess far surpass Medusa’s, and she will surely achieve final victory,” Princess Alice analyzed.

Sure enough, not long after, Athena, with the power and absolute strength of the goddess of the underworld, granted Medusa her death.

Devour its essence and achieve ultimate victory.

"Hahaha, I never expected that Medusa of this world would actually increase my origin by 30% and grant me the power of this world, making my interference in mythology even stronger." Athena flew down in surprise and stood in front of Chen Hong, proudly showing off.

Chen Hong chuckled and patted Athena's head, saying, "Good, good, good. My Athena is the most capable."

Athena's cold and beautiful face flushed red, and she angrily punched Chen Hong: "Damn it, I'm not some delicate queen."

"Alright, alright, Goddess, you are the most majestic." Chen Hong smiled and hugged Athena.

Athena struggled for a moment but couldn't break free. Blushing, she hugged Chen Hong's waist, buried her head in his shoulder, and dared not show herself to anyone.

Prince Shotoku and the others were dumbfounded as they watched the goddess of war from mythology appear in such a shy and timid manner.

Looking at Chen Hong, they were immediately awestruck. He had actually tamed the goddess so obediently; he was truly a role model for us all.

He is truly a divine being.

Perhaps sensing the gazes of the crowd, Athena finally couldn't bear to hide in the man's arms, and reluctantly broke free, reverting to her proud goddess image.

Prince Shotoku tactfully changed the subject: "Well, our City of Corpses is holding a ceremony to worship the sacred beast today. If you don't mind, why don't you all come and take a look?"

"Oh? What's the story behind this sacrificial beast?" Athena seized the opportunity and changed the subject.

"We, the Hyberberians, are pastoralists, and the cow is a particularly important sacred animal."

The continent we stand on was born from the carcass of a sea ox.

Therefore, holding a ritual to worship the sacred beast can invoke the power of creation myths.

"Come with me."

Prince Shotoku led the crowd to the seaside to hold a sacrificial ceremony.

A red-skinned man, adorned with gleaming gold, wields a butcher's knife to slaughter a sacrificial ox.

“That is Rudra, the Roarer, the Crimson One, the Radiant One, possessing the attributes of the Sun God, and wielding the power of fire and light,” Prince Shotoku explained.

Rudra threw the slaughtered cow into the sea, and amidst the people's devout sacrifice, something shocking happened the next second.

An island was created from the carcass of a cow.

"A cow can actually create an island?" Erica and the others were shocked. The rewards of this sacrificial ritual were too generous. The creation rules of this world were too bizarre.

"Everything that is convenient for humankind, such as grains, herbs, and animals, originated from the ox or the giant."

"The land responds to whatever humans seek—this is a property of the land, a characteristic of the mythical world of origin," Prince Shotoku explained.

Chen Hong keenly sensed that as the sacrificial ceremony proceeded, the fluctuations of a deity quietly descended upon the place.

All sorts of plants immediately grew on the land.

However, the god seemed to sense the presence of Athena and the other gods, and immediately withdrew his consciousness, as if he was frightened and wanted to run away.

"Now that you're here, do you think you can just run away?"

Get down here!

Chen Hong seized the cause and effect of that consciousness and pulled him down from the divine realm.

"what!……"

What are you doing?!

The god was caught off guard and pulled down, falling face-first into the dirt.

He patted his bottom and climbed out of the dirt, looking resentful, as if he were an old friend.

"Ugh!" Chen Hong shuddered in disgust. "Disgusting, I want to die."

Chen Hong slapped down, killing the deity who resembled an old friend.

Unfurl the circle of magic to usurp power.

"Oh, so it's Adonis, the god of plants."

"A very handsome god in Greek mythology who oversees the annual rebirth of plants."

He was originally a god in the Lebanese region, and was later incorporated into Greek mythology, but he always retained his Eastern Semitic origins.

He is one of the most complex gods in ancient Europe. He has multiple roles, equivalent to the spring god Tamuth in Babylonian mythology and Baldr in Norse mythology.

He is a plant deity who dies and rises again each year, forever young, and has a deep connection with the calendar.

Chen Hong usurped its power [Plant Domination] [Resurrection], which allows it to control all plants, enabling them to die and be resurrected, like wildfires that cannot destroy them, or spring breezes that bring them back to life, making them extremely suitable for cultivating spiritual plants, roots, and medicines, and creating vitality.

Using this power, Chen Hong created his own grotto-heaven, producing numerous spiritual herbs, plants, and roots, making his grotto-heaven lush and vibrant with life.

After finishing their business in the City of Corpses, Chen Hong and the others headed to the Round Table City of the First Kingdom.

That is the place where the most heroes gather in the world.

The world of heroes seems to be still in the ancient mythological era, where many heroes exist. After death, they can be resurrected in the underworld, return to the earth, continue their heroic journey, and sing epic tales.

The ruler of the First Kingdom was Theodoric the Godslayer, who killed the disobedient King Arthur and gained the power of the Round Table. He was a Godslayer who proclaimed "goodness, justice, and defiance of fate."

The Round Table is the largest military nation, home to the Knights of the Round Table, an elite force with fearless cavalry and powerful, diligent infantry.

After touring the Round Table City, a place steeped in medieval city-state style, Chen Hong and the others parted ways to explore the rest of the world.

Lord Luo Hao established the Third Kingdom – the Sea King's Capital, a massive pirate organization located on the remote island of "Penglai Eight Islands" to the south of the Hook Claw Islands. It served as the home port and trading post for the fleet exploring the uncharted lands of Hyperberia, engaging in a game of pirate exploration and bodyguard business.

Athena and her lineage of mother goddesses, including those from Guinevere and other surrounding areas, established the coastal city-state of Athens, where they embraced Greek civilization and art and possessed advanced maritime technology.

Erica, Alice, and other women of mortal origin established the Rose Merchant Guild, engaging in commercial activities and amassing great wealth, while also contributing to the world's cultural exchange. Meanwhile, Lady Aisha, a seemingly troublesome but energetic young woman from Black descent, surprisingly used her unique charisma to establish the world's largest religious organization—the Anti-Fate Cult—whose idol is Chen Hong, and whose doctrine is "to break free from the yoke of fate and live freely."

Tony taught the Armed Corpse Warriors, creating the unprecedented "Sword Corpse Warriors" group, learning the ultimate technique "Musou no Ken" and pursuing the Way of the Sword.

Chen Hong then created the world's largest, most advanced, and most prosperous kingdom—the City of Happiness.

This is a futuristic city that can make everyone happy, possessing sci-fi-level technology and humanistic care.

Trade is thriving, and there is a wide variety of entertainment facilities, including amusement parks, gourmet food and goods, education and medical care, as well as games, performances, movies, drinks, food and services, all at very low prices.

The rent for a family is equivalent to a day's wages for an average person.

A month's worth of food expenses is equivalent to only three days' wages.

If you just lie down and work only five days a month, that's enough to cover your expenses for the month.

The game allows players to experience a virtual world and live all sorts of fantastic and exciting lives.

You can also drive a flying car and travel through the real-world hero realm.

The City of Happiness is a joyous metropolis where one can experience all the entertainment, desires, pleasures, and joys of the world. It is the ideal land that all living beings on the continent yearn for most, and it is also the city with the most developed tourism industry, attracting a constant stream of travelers from all over the world.

Following closely in the footsteps of Chen Hong and the others, the Black Prince Alec, who had quietly arrived in this world, was finally relieved after confirming that Chen Hong didn't care about him at all and wouldn't kill him. He then began to establish his own kingdom.

The Black Prince established the Forest of Shadow Chasers, a demonic forest located in the northern part of Island Three, where anyone who accidentally enters cannot leave. It is home to various self-proclaimed righteous thieves, heretical magicians, and forbidden and wise seekers.

All I can say is that he truly lives up to his title of the Black Prince; he simply loves pursuing forbidden knowledge.

News came from Luo Hao, the cult leader, and Erica and others that they had discovered information about the disobedient god at sea.

Chen Hong went to kill it and found that it was the Vajra God with a buffalo head, three eyes, nine faces and thirty-four arms - Yamantaka.

He is the guardian deity of Buddhism, the killer of Asuras, and the god of steel.

After killing it, Chen Hong obtained the power of the [Dharma Vajra] to restrain Asura, as well as the powers of the [Great Vajrabhairava Dharmakaya] and the [Great Vajrabhairava Mantra].

In the forest, they discovered Artemis, the goddess of the hunt and the earth goddess who controls life and death. They killed her and gained the [Hunting Power] and the [Life and Death Power], granting them extremely strong hunting and killing abilities.

Because he killed Artemis, he incurred the wrath of the Greek pantheon and decided to attack [Gods' Domain - Troy].

Upon arriving outside Troy, they found people arguing.

"Please believe my prophecy: the gods are arguing over a golden apple at a banquet, over who is the fairest of them all."

The gods have decided to start a war; Troy will wage a brutal war against Greece. Everyone must be careful!

A woman was surrounded by a crowd, earnestly proclaiming her prophecy, but the listeners seemed not to believe her and even pointed and laughed at her.

"Haha, that's hilarious! Who would start a war for such an absurd reason?"
Let alone the gods?

"Yes, how could the gods be so stupid?"

"Nobles are all intelligent and elegant, let alone noble gods?"

"You are blaspheming the gods!"

"Cassandra, do you know you're committing a crime?"

"Yes, even if you are a princess, you can't talk nonsense and blaspheme the gods, can you?"

"That's right, that's right. We ordinary people can't understand the outstanding abilities of nobles. You must be the same. As a mortal, you can't understand the greatness of gods, which is why you made such an outrageous prophecy."

How could noble gods possibly start a war over such an absurd reason as arguing about who is the most beautiful goddess?

"Yes, yes, it must be because you are not capable enough to understand the great will of the gods."

“Princess Cassandra, stop showing off your prophecies. It only reveals your ignorance and folly.”

"Of course, as a princess with noble blood, you must be smarter than us ordinary people."

Therefore, you must have misunderstood the oracle.

"Repent, Princess Cassandra, and stop making such outrageous prophecies."

"Let's go, let's go."

"That's it, everyone, let's all go home."

Seeing that no one believed her and they scattered like birds, Princess Cassandra was furious. Pointing at them, her expression was a mixture of anger and sorrow: "You...you..."

Chen Hong and the others stepped forward: "Are you the princess of Troy?"

Princess Cassandra raised her head and answered weakly, "Yes, I am, and you are..."

"Oh, we are guests from afar," Chen Hong probed, "Why do those people completely disbelieve your prophecy?"

Princess Cassandra said somewhat forlornly, "I was granted the ability to foresee the future by Apollo, but because I refused to become Apollo's lover and witch, I was cursed, and no one on earth will believe Cassandra's foresight and prophecy."

Therefore, no matter how I try to explain, no one will believe my prediction.

"I see." Chen Hong and the others suddenly realized, "It seems that the famous Trojan War is about to begin."

"You believe my prophecy?" Princess Cassandra looked up in surprise, her eyes shining.

"Of course I believe it," Chen Hong replied matter-of-factly. "Apollo's curse has no effect on me."

"That's wonderful!" Princess Cassandra jumped up and hugged Chen Hong, tears streaming down her face. "Finally, someone believes me."

At this moment, Princess Cassandra's long-standing grievances of not being trusted seemed to find an outlet, and she burst into tears, hugging Chen Hong, feeling an unprecedented warmth in her heart.

Chen Hong was both amused and exasperated. He patted the soft head of the blonde princess and said, "What a silly girl."

Princess Cassandra seemed to feel shy, broke free, her face turned bright red, her little fingers twirling as she hid to the side, too embarrassed to speak.

At this moment, Apollo, seemingly sensing the green light above his head, could no longer sit still. He descended from Mount Olympus, radiating dazzling light like the sun, streaking across the sky and making a very pretentious entrance.

"You audacious mortal, how dare you lay a finger on my woman! Do you know your crime?!"

Why don't you kneel down immediately and beg for forgiveness from the great and radiant god Apollo?

Everyone looked up and saw a tall, handsome man with brilliant blond hair, slender eyes tinged with melancholy, and lips that hinted at a mischievous smile. He was both beautiful and sexy, carrying a silver longbow with golden arrowheads, and slowly descending from the sky. (End of Chapter)
