Prometheus lowered his head even further and replied respectfully, "Great Zeus, you are right. Every living being must bear the consequences of its own actions, whatever they may be."

"But you are so kind and tolerant. You are lenient towards everything in the universe, and all living beings in the universe are fortunate to live under your rule."

"Your kindness and magnanimity will be forever appreciated by all living things in the universe. I, Prometheus, am especially grateful for the love you have shown to all living things."

The great Zeus did not stop there; he continued to say, "The past is insignificant; the future is more important. It is not wrong to follow the order of the past."

"However, after the new order is established, all gods and beings in the universe should consciously abide by the new, sacred, and just order."

"The sacred order I established."

Prometheus secretly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he had passed the test.

He raised his head, his voice filled with excitement and reverence: "Great Zeus, thank you for your boundless heart, as vast as the sky. You will surely establish a new sacred and just order, bringing prosperity and peace to the universe. Your order will be implemented throughout the entire universe, and all the gods will obey your supreme will!"

He then knelt on one knee and, with the utmost devotion, swore allegiance to Zeus: "O illustrious and great Zeus, son of the holy queen Rhea, Prometheus hereby begs to pledge allegiance to you! Your will is the will of Prometheus!"

"Prometheus, Prometheus." Zeus murmured the name twice, his voice not loud and his tone not cold, but there was a strange meaning to it.

Then Zeus's tone became gentle yet majestic: "I, Zeus, son of the holy Rhea, hereby accept your allegiance."

“My dear friends, all those who have been loyal to me, I will always remember their help and support.”

"Similarly, any living being that dares to defy my sacred order will ultimately face the most severe punishment!"

Before Prometheus could speak, Zeus dismissed him, saying, "Prometheus, the gods are reveling! The goddess of divine order, the lady of justice, is already standing beside us. Final victory will undoubtedly be ours!"

"Go and enjoy this wonderful feast with the gods. In the future, we will share this beautiful new world together."

Prometheus replied respectfully, "Great Zeus, I eagerly await that day."

After Prometheus respectfully withdrew, the future god-king, who was fond of beauty, embraced the goddess of wisdom and affectionately caressed her delicate, flower-petal-like face.

He whispered in her ear with a smile, "This prophetic god has a side that is unknown to others."

"Hmm?" Lost in the blissful intimacy of his lover, Zeus failed to grasp the profound meaning behind his deep words.

Her gaze, filled with purity and deep dependence, looked up at Zeus.

Zeus abruptly changed the subject, his tone filled with undeniable tenderness: "My love, you should also go and join Mother Goddess in hosting the feast. I need to go to Mnemosyne immediately."

Lost in the irrational wisdom of being in her lover's arms, she obediently got up despite her deep reluctance.

Her slender, jade-like fingers gently and affectionately caressed Zeus's handsome face, her eyes filled with tenderness: "My love, the goddess of profound and serene memory of civilization, who understands all the truths and origins of the world. Please treat her with sincerity and respect, and do not show her the slightest negligence."

Zeus smiled and nodded, watching Metis's graceful figure gradually disappear into the distance.

After she completely departed, only He remained in the vast temple.

Only at this moment did He let out a soft sigh.

He did not want to see Mnemosyne so soon, but since she had made such a request, he had no choice but to meet her ahead of time.

To achieve final victory, I must make sacrifices again.

Brave Zeus, unafraid of difficulties!
Mnemosyne, the goddess of memory of civilization, has long since moved away from Mount Oterus. She now resides on a secluded and tranquil island in the east, far from the hustle and bustle of the world.

A deity like her, detached from worldly affairs, has always been extremely aloof and untouched by the mortal world.

Of course, she keeps a low profile because she wants to.

But that doesn’t mean she’s easy to bully. On the contrary, all the gods in the universe hold her in high esteem.

No god wants to be forgotten, or even to have the most basic memories.

No deity would want their shameful secrets, unknown to the gods, to spread throughout the universe in an instant, becoming known to all the gods.

Perhaps one reason why the goddess of memory is so low-key is because she knows just too much.

Before a secret is spoken, it is always the master of the secret and will receive the reverence of the gods.

But if the secret becomes common knowledge, then one becomes an enemy of the gods.

When Zeus descended upon this beautiful and tranquil island, where flowers bloomed and birds sang, the elemental beings who had been waiting respectfully there immediately came to greet him.

They respectfully led Zeus to the place where their mysterious master resided.

At the heart of this small island lies a clear, jade-like lake, and in the center of that lake stands a quiet and elegant temple, the abode of the goddess of memory.

After guiding Zeus to the lakeside, the elemental beings retreated far away, leaving Zeus alone to continue his journey.

Zeus, unperturbed by the goddess's disdain, calmly strolled into the temple.

However, the moment His gaze fell upon the goddess of memory, He gasped in shock.

He then quickly turned away, no longer looking.

It was as if I had seen something incredibly terrifying.

'That's not right. Isn't the goddess of memory supposed to be the most dignified, simple, calm, and upright?'

Zeus exclaimed inwardly, "This is completely contrary to the divine design!"

It's no wonder that even the usually calm and resolute Zeus couldn't help but be startled at this moment.

The goddess of civilization's memory that was presented to Him at this moment was far too tempting to confuse the deity.

There stood a stunningly beautiful, serene, elegant, and dignified goddess, as shy as a newlywed bride, languidly reclining on a wide throne.

She had black hair, black eyes, and a black gauze dress. Her hair was as deep as the night, and her eyes were equally dark. Her silky black clothes made her skin appear cold and flawless, and it shone with an alluring luster in the slightly dim palace, making her mysterious and enchanting.

At this moment, her pretty face was flushed, her alluring figure slightly tipsy, and her deep eyes were hazy and dreamy.

He lazily held up an exquisite gold cup, clearly half-drunk, yet still savoring the mead.
