Hecate changed the subject. Although she would never admit that she was jealous, seeing Jason and Medea being so close to Persephone...

"Okay." Persephone looked at Hecate who turned her head away, obviously looking a little depressed, and couldn't help but smile secretly.

Hecate had indeed never been treated so closely before, because both Jason and Medea respected her...at least for now.

"But wait a minute, Jason seemed to have something to say to me just now."

"Yes, Sister Goddess Persephone."

Jason nodded, then looked at Persephone and asked tentatively, "What I want to ask is... Sister Goddess Persephone, do you hate Goddess Demeter?"

After saying this, Hecate couldn't help but frown.

Obviously, he didn't expect Jason to ask such a sensitive question!

So when he opened his mouth to say something, his eyes turned and he suddenly realized that this seemed like a good opportunity!

Because this matter has to be resolved sooner or later, and now Jason happens to be Persephone's younger brother and a child.

The location was good, there was no one around, and Hades was not there either.

Thinking of this, Hecate couldn't help but look at Jason in surprise.

This timing... is perfect!

One of the updates to Jason's survival rules: If you encounter people or things that you cannot escape, then resolve the problem as quickly as possible!

If the problem cannot be solved, make it a big deal, and if the problem is small, make it nothing. Never procrastinate.

Because the longer you delay, the more likely accidents will occur!

"This... is disgusting, of course!"

"Really, Sister Persephone? ...Sister Persephone, do you really want to maintain such a strained relationship with the goddess Demeter and never meet her again?"

Jason's questioning caught Persephone off guard, so she subconsciously looked at Hecate beside her, only to find that Hecate was also looking at her, waiting for an answer.

"This matter will be resolved sooner or later Persephone."

Hecate said to Persephone, "There's no one else here, so you don't have to hide anything from me. This child seems to have some ideas, so you can listen to them.

And... you don't want to see anything happen between your mother and Jason, right?"

Hearing this, Persephone was clearly shaken. Looking at Jason in front of her, she remembered Demeter's doting on her...

Persephone sighed.

"Hecate, you are right. I cannot harm this child... I do hate my mother, but... she is still my mother after all."

"That means, Sister Persephone, you don't want to see your mother again, right?"

Persephone nodded.

"Sister Persephone, I heard from Teacher Hecate that your mother has been reluctant to let you come to the underworld because she is worried that she will never see you again, right?"

Hecate looked at Jason in confusion.

Strange, did I say that? ...Why don't I remember that?

"My mother...others can't live without their mothers, but my mother seems to be unable to live without me!"

When it comes to Demeter, Persephone feels a bit of a headache.

"Actually, if that's the case... I have a suggestion."

Jason said to Persephone, "The earth is withering away bit by bit because of the power of the goddess Demeter. It is not a solution to continue like this.

So I think, since Demeter is so resistant because she's afraid she won't be able to see Persephone again, wouldn't it be enough to just let her know that they can still meet?!

For example, let her be able to enter and exit the underworld, or sister, you promise to go back every once in a while!"

Jason had an impression of this myth.

When Persephone became the Queen of the Underworld, Demeter was very sad about losing her daughter. As a result, all things on earth stopped growing, and everything withered and became desolate.

Finally, Zeus had to take action, and Hades made Persephone eat six pomegranate seeds before leaving, representing six months.

What surprised Jason was that after he said it, Hecate and Persephone looked at each other and sighed at the same time.

"Jason, don't you know?" The fire spirit beside him couldn't help but say, "Not everyone can enter or leave the underworld... Not even the great God King Zeus!"

"Ah?" Jason was stunned. "Is that so?"

"You probably didn't notice it because you were always following Hecate." Persephone replied helplessly, "Hecate is special because she moved into the underworld because she didn't want to be bothered and disturbed.

And he also let the three-headed dog guard the gate of the underworld, so the many underworld gods turned a blind eye to your entry and exit.

If my mother or I could freely enter and exit the underworld, she wouldn't have locked me up and prevented me from coming out."

Ah, this...

Jason scratched his head, he really didn't know this!

After all, ever since becoming Hecate's apprentice, Jason has been constantly jumping back and forth between the underworld and reality...

"It's not completely impossible." Hecate thought for a moment and said thoughtfully, "But that requires..."

"However, that requires the simultaneous consent of Zeus and I."

A voice filled with a certain majesty suddenly rang in everyone's ears, and a man dressed in black, with black hair and black eyes, walked over from the side.

"Lord Pluto!" Seeing him, the Fire Spirit hurriedly saluted.

Even Hecate bowed to him.

"How did you come."

"I saw you were missing, so I came here to look for you."

With a majestic look, Hades showed a faint smile at the moment he collided with Persephone.

Regardless of how their relationship is described in the myth, Jason discovered that the two people in front of him probably... really liked each other.

"The child is right Persephone. My sister's affairs...and Demeter's affairs must be resolved eventually."

"So you heard everything...and you agree?"

"This seems to be the best solution at the moment." Hades nodded, "And I think Zeus would agree... Persephone, please have a good talk with Demeter."

"But if I appear in front of Mother Demeter, I will definitely be captured immediately!" Persephone said helplessly.

"Then...how about letting me go?"

Jason, who lowered his head, suddenly asked cautiously.

"you?"

Persephone and a slightly stunned Hades looked at him at the same time.

Even Hecate gave Jason a look of surprise.

After all, normally, it’s too late to hide, but today it’s a disaster. Did I take the wrong medicine?

Then, Hecate looked at Hades again and shook her head slightly in secret.

Because now Hecate actually understood... understood something.

That is, even if Jason did not stand up and speak of these things today, the final outcome would still be the same as what Jason said.

Because this was a trap set by Zeus, he was...weakening Hades' power!

"Hmm...it does seem like a good suggestion."

Hades thought for a moment and nodded, "Besides, it was you who brought Persephone here, so it is indeed you who should solve the problem."

Chapter 35: Immortal Soul

"Are you ready?"

Hecate asked Jason.

Jason nodded slightly, looked at the surging river of fire before him, took a deep breath and said seriously: "Yes, teacher, I have been ready for a long time!"

Hearing this, Hecate glanced at Persephone, the Fire Spirit of the River of Fire, and Hades, the God of the Underworld, and said, "In that case, let's begin."

Tempering the soul with the eternal fire of the underworld...finally reaching this point!

At this moment, Jason was more excited than nervous, because as long as he completed this step, he would be able to formally learn the magic of the Age of Gods.

Then, at Hecate's signal, Jason leaped into the dark river of fire before him.

In the blink of an eye, Jason was engulfed in flames.

The moment he jumped in, Jason immediately felt a burning pain that was indescribable. It was the pain brought by the eternal fire burning his soul.

Although Hecate was still using her divine power to protect Jason's soul, this time she left a gap, allowing a certain amount of fire to penetrate into Jason's soul.

However, this pain did not last long, and soon Persephone's divine power surrounded Jason's soul.

At the same time, Hades also took action, using his divine power to protect Jason's soul, and even deliberately infiltrated some of his power into Jason's soul!

Seeing this, Hecate glanced at Hades beside her and said nothing.

So, under the divine power of the three, Jason's pain was completely alleviated, and after more than an hour, he walked out of the river of fire.

"Well... is this the end?" Jason came out, feeling that it was unreal.

It's just like when I took a dip in the River Styx to gain immortality, I don't feel anything.

"What if... you think it's too simple?"

Jason subconsciously nodded to Hecate who asked him.

Persephone came over, touched Jason’s head, and said with a smile, “Normally, it wouldn’t be this simple, but you are different.

You have been washed by the River of Eternity and the River of Pain, and most importantly, Hecate and Hades have just simultaneously protected your soul."

"......Huh?" Jason looked at Hades in surprise.

At this moment, Hecate came up and brought Jason to Hades, bowed to him and said, "Thank you for your generosity, great Hades... Jason, why are you still standing there?

He used his divine power to protect your soul and grant you refuge in the underworld. From today on, the fire of your soul will never be extinguished!"
