Greece: I am Zeus!

Chapter 185 The Grand Ceremony of the Gods
Led by Zeus, the gods, in their most majestic form, transformed into beams of divine light and ascended to the summit of Olympus, to the most magnificent and supreme temple where the gods held their meetings.

Pantheon.

After Zeus and the other chief gods were seated, Themis nodded slightly to the three Fates standing behind her.

These three great goddesses, who held sway over the fate of all things and spirits in the universe, immediately joined forces and activated the "Heavenly Order," which had gathered the power of all the gods and already covered the entire universe.

The already enormous temple, without a sound, began to expand and fold infinitely in an unimaginable and wondrous way.

From the outside, the size of the temple appears unchanged.

However, the space inside it has become a "living" entity.

No matter how many deities it needs to accommodate, it will become just right, neither too empty nor too crowded. It will automatically change its size and structure according to the number and status of the beings "existing" inside.

This point, though seemingly simple, is enough to terrify all the gods who do not yet understand the "order of heaven".

It should be noted that many of the great gods in the hall at this moment are themselves powerful Law Gods!

Each of them is an embodiment of one or even several complete laws, closely connected to the entire universe, and most of them are the foundation of the universe's existence.

However, the three goddesses of fate were still able to silently and fundamentally change the structure of space without affecting them in the slightest.

Since they can do this, it also means that under this "Heavenly Order," if someone wants to destroy their divine bodies, they will be powerless to resist.

Unless they choose to directly return to the origin of the laws of divinity, they will not be able to possess any power to resist.

The invincible God-King is becoming increasingly invincible.

However, the Olympian gods in the hall, who were already used to such things, were no longer moved.

In any case, this power is in the hands of the God-King, so for the God-King, these little tricks are actually not very meaningful.

For the gods, this little thing is really irrelevant. Whether or not they have it, if the God-King wants to take action, none of them will be able to resist.

There's no need to make a fuss, as if we could fight against the God King without this thing.

Once everything in the temple was ready, all the great gods sat peacefully on their respective thrones, and the four wind gods together stirred up a storm that swept across the entire world.

With a thunderous roar that resounded throughout the universe and proclaimed to all the gods, the numerous deities and fairies from the Three Realms and Three Domains, as well as many powerful high-level elemental spirits, who had been respectfully waiting at the foot of Mount Olympus, tidied their appearance and, with immense tension and excitement, set off to climb Mount Olympus.

Flying is definitely not allowed, and any other trickery is also prohibited.

They can only climb upwards step by step, with their feet firmly on the ground.

This is an audience with His Majesty the Supreme God-King; absolute and utmost respect must be maintained.

The path to Mount Olympus, which is level with the sky and serves as the center of the cosmic order, becomes increasingly difficult the higher one climbs.

Those terrifying gales, capable of easily crushing ordinary minor gods, would howl through the mountains without warning.

The various etheric elements, which become increasingly concentrated and active with increasing altitude, are like an invisible ocean, omnipresent, and their immense pressure makes it extremely difficult for many deities to even function.

Furthermore, the higher one goes, the more terrifying the intangible yet real divine power emanating from the great gods at the mountain peak becomes.

The pressure from the divine might was like a series of moving mountains, making all climbers feel immense, terrifying suppression stemming from their life level.

Even before they had a proper audience with the God-King and the many great gods, the pressure alone was enough to instill in them the deepest reverence.

Of course, the benevolent god-king did not deliberately make things difficult for them.

Those deadly gales and obscuring clouds were all dispersed by His wave of His hand.

Furthermore, the four wind gods, by order of the God-King, stirred up fragrant golden rain transformed from the divine wine "Nektar," which fell along the way to nourish the bodies of every climber, bringing them a continuous source of strength and constantly enhancing their divine power.

In fact, once Mount Olympus reached its halfway point in height, it became a sacred place where the gods resided and mortals were forbidden.

That is the place where the sacred domains of many great gods intersect, and no living being may enter without permission.

The fact that these gods can still climb upwards with difficulty is itself a result of Zeus personally lifting the restrictions for them and generously bestowing too many blessings upon them.

During the long period of waiting for the Pantheon to begin, those gods who arrived early received unimaginable blessings. The great union of Zeus and the three goddesses was the evolution and perfection of the supreme laws of the universe.

Being on Mount Olympus, one can naturally feel all of this most clearly.

These deities waiting at the foot of the mountains personally experienced those earth-shattering cosmic phenomena. The more they experienced, the greater their gains were. Some deities even underwent a radical transformation in their divine nature as a result.

Even the most clueless fools among them, under the gentle, golden rain, can greatly enhance their divine power and divine body.

To be able to personally experience the blessings bestowed by the all-knowing and all-powerful God-King at such close range is a blessing that countless beings would never even dare to dream of.

Moreover, some were extremely lucky and were directly chosen by the great gods of Olympus, becoming their servants and attendants, thus rising to the top in one step.

Moreover, fighting of any kind is strictly prohibited within the Olympian Sanctuary; it is an absolutely safe place.

At the same time, this is also a blessed land for cultivation where the etheric element is most abundant and active. Those gods who arrived early, even if they only sought a place to sleep, had already benefited greatly when they awoke.

It can be said that for all the gods who came to worship, the only thing they had to do at this grand ceremony was to travel a long way and climb a mountain.

What they gained, however, was an unparalleled opportunity that they might never have in their entire lives, an opportunity powerful enough to change their destiny.

Even though this mountain climbing journey is difficult and arduous, as long as they are willing to persevere, they will surely be able to reach the summit under the protection of the God King.

To be fortunate enough to stand atop Olympus and personally experience the glory of the god-king is already the greatest fortune.

The generous and benevolent God-King commanded the winds of the four directions to transform the divine wine, which only the great gods could drink daily, into a gentle rain and bestow it upon them. This was an immense blessing that could not be described in words.

The divine wine (Nectuar) and celestial food (Ambrosia) reserved for the Olympian gods were created by the combined power of Gaia, the mother goddess of all things, and the Olympian gods.

They are suitable for the tastes of all living beings and are the most delicious delicacies in the universe.

The divine wine and celestial delicacies can change their flavor at will according to the drinker's personal preferences, based on their mood and deepest desires at the time, ensuring that every sip is the supreme delicacy that they like the most, love the most, and crave the most.

The color of the divine wine also changes with the mood of the gods. For example, when Zeus drinks it, it appears as golden thunderbolts, while when Aphrodite drinks it, it appears as a pinkish-purple halo. After drinking it, her breath turns into flowers or rainbows.

Moreover, it contains extremely abundant divine power and pure divine qualities, making it a top-tier sacred item exclusively for the Olympian gods.

Let alone mortal gods, even great gods of noble birth who are not doing well cannot enjoy it.

In the time of Cronus, this was primarily a special offering from Mount Otyrus; but now, in the time of Zeus, it is a special offering from the Olympian gods.

For all living beings other than the Olympian gods, let alone enjoying them, simply being able to see them is already an immense stroke of luck.

These were just ordinary meals for Zeus and many other gods.

However, in reality, let alone mortals, it is a supreme divine object that can transform even minor gods, fairies, and spirits.

Divine wine and celestial delicacies contain powerful divine energy, divinity, and immortality. They can grant the body eternal life, eternal youth, immunity to aging, cure diseases, resist death, and even bestow divinity upon mortal objects, elevating them to godhood.

Even if consumed by deities, it can greatly enhance their divinity and power.

Theoretically, this enhancement has no upper limit; as long as one consumes it, the enhancement will continue indefinitely.

Although the enhancement effect will gradually weaken for those powerful deities who have long stood at the pinnacle of the universe, the standard of this so-called "too strong" is measured by the standards of those powerful chief gods who are well-known in the Olympian pantheon.

For ordinary deities, this was a shortcut to heaven that they would never even dare to dream of.

Furthermore, even for the most powerful beings, celestial delicacies and divine wines possess extremely potent healing abilities.

When a deity is injured, simply applying celestial food to the wound will allow it to heal quickly without leaving any scars or future problems.

They can also purify the bodies of deities, quickly restoring their depleted divine power.

Even without drinking them directly, the divine food and wine exude an extraordinary fragrance. Applying them as balms or perfumes to the body can give the deity's skin a faint, divine glow and a captivating aroma.

If this were placed in the East, it would be similar to Laozi's elixir of immortality and the Queen Mother of the West's peaches of immortality, but a top-grade one at that.

Nowadays, simply climbing Mount Olympus allows one to enjoy the divine rain transformed from this sacred substance. Even if one doesn't drink it directly, it is already a blessing that cannot be attained even after countless years of cultivation.
