The old man you see with your phone is highly suspicious.

In particular, upon seeing the countdown of over three thousand years, he realized with horror that the countdown in his consciousness space was not calculated according to the time he perceived, but according to "history".

It is now 1208 BC, which would be exactly 3232 years in the present day...

Therefore, according to this timeline, the Great Sage should not be inside his body at all. So now, his consciousness space only contains the cursed blood and no longer contains Old Deng, who could always cover for him!

Cold sweat was gradually trickling into Xue Dinglu's eyes. His hands and feet were ice-cold despite the hot weather, and he was trembling all over, with sweat pouring out uncontrollably.

Suddenly, a line of text appeared on the panel.

Don't worry, I'm still here.

I want to help you block the eyes of the gods, but there are other reasons why I can only communicate with you this way. But don't worry, we are always of one mind.

Looking at these two lines of text, Xue Dinglu finally felt a rare sense of security, which allowed him to relax.

What Xue Dinglu didn't know was that during the time he was thinking, he had become the focus of the gods.

Seeing the handsome young man deep in thought by the pool, the nymphs on Olympus who had been singing and dancing stopped dancing, the Muses stopped playing their instruments, and the three goddesses who had been arguing over the golden apple all looked in this direction.

Even Zeus, the god of the heavens, who was in the main seat, turned his gaze to Xue Lude, who was deep in thought at the moment.

At that moment, golden light flashed in Zeus's eyes, and the smaller head was about to take control of the larger head.

The entire Mount Olympus seemed to stand still as the handsome young man pondered, as if afraid to disturb his thoughts.

'When did such a beautiful person appear in all of Greece?' the gods roared in their hearts.

Chapter 37 A Crazy Version of Ancient Greece?

This is the only thought in the minds of the gods right now.

Whether it was the nymphs, the muses, or Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite, who were originally at each other's throats over the golden apple, they all stared blankly at Xue's Law as he pondered.

Not only the goddesses, but even the male gods who were originally just watching the show were stunned with their mouths agape, not even realizing that their wine glasses had slipped from their fingers.

At this moment, to the Greek gods, who were all obsessed with good looks, love, and hero worship, this contemplative human was as beautiful as a natural elf, igniting a burning passion within them.

'Father God, I think I believe in love now…'

Whether they are male gods or female gods, they all started to have this idea.

Xue Dinglu had no idea how attractive his face, which originally resembled that of a tokusatsu drama boy, would be to the Greeks, especially given the mystery and uniqueness he exuded after fusing with the old undead.

For the Greeks, who are a bunch of small-time operators controlling large-time ones, the arrival of Xue's Law was as exciting as seeing a goblin with a female knight.

The main feature is its uniqueness; it is unique in all of Greece, and this uniqueness constitutes the "beauty" that is unparalleled in all of Greece.

Xue Dinglu never expected that the first danger he would face in this strange world would not be those terrifying monsters or those wars that involved countless countries, but rather a large group of Greek gods and goddesses looking at him with the eyes of hungry wolves.

They've even started raising their flags!

In this seemingly frozen moment, an apple suddenly fell and hit Xue Lude on the head, interrupting his thoughts, as well as the almost breathless gods on Mount Olympus.

Xue Dinglu also snapped out of his thoughts and caught the apple that hit him on the head.

Its golden color and dazzling light are the golden apples of mythology, and also the trigger for the Trojan War.

He looked up and was shocked to find that he had become the focus of the entire room. Both male and female gods were casting their fiery gazes at him. The virgin goddesses were alright, but the muse goddesses looked like they wanted to devour him.

"Ahem, beautiful son of man, would you be willing to become my kin?" Zeus, seated on the throne like the crescent moon, appeared old, but his well-built muscles and imposing aura made him seem even more unrestrained and majestic.

But after saying that, he felt he might have been too blunt. Seeing the disdainful looks from the other gods around him, he coughed awkwardly and took back what he had just said.

“Father, I’ve made a mistake. I was supposed to bring the mortal Paris, but it seems I’ve brought the wrong person,” Hermes, the messenger of the gods, whispered to Zeus.

However, all the gods present heard this and were stunned. Originally, Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite were at each other's throats over the ownership of the golden apple, which is why Zeus ordered Hermes to go down to the mortal realm to find a handsome mortal (Paris) so that he could determine the ownership of the golden apple.

But Hermes seems to have brought the wrong person.

'Hermes, well done! You led the way well!'

This is what all the male and female celebrities are thinking.

Zeus immediately changed his tune, saying, "Son of man, tell the gods your name, and you shall belong to the owner of the golden apple."

The "Wallfacer" of the Golden Apple was not chosen randomly. As the prince of Troy, Paris's choice of any goddess would directly or indirectly trigger the Trojan War.

The gods wanted to use the Trojan War to spread their faith, and Zeus wanted to use the Trojan War to launch the Odyssey. Therefore, in the original plan, only Paris was the candidate for the golden apple.

However, the sudden appearance of Xue's Law made the scene seem quite different. Even Zeus couldn't help but let the small head take over the big head. Troy could be dealt with later; there were plenty of excuses to start the Trojan War.

He now wants to know everything about this beautiful young man!

Xue Lu held the golden apple in his hand, bowed slightly to his father Zeus, and then bowed slightly to the three goddesses, which greatly increased the goodwill of the gods present.

After all, Zeus had just made a very direct invitation to this mortal to become his servant, which would be an irresistible gift for any mortal hero. What would it matter if he had to sell his hook?

To become a follower of Zeus is to ascend to the heavens in one step.

However, this mortal's polite refusal both saved face for Zeus and demonstrated his noble disdain for the idea of ​​becoming a god by selling hooks, which actually increased the gods' goodwill towards him.

Even Zeus, who was politely rejected, did not feel any ill will.

"By the gods above, my name is Xerath, not a hero, but merely a scholar who studies the truth," Xerath introduced himself, using a pseudonym.

In Greece, one cannot use one's real name, because there are multiple ways to attack or curse oneself using one's real name.

The gods whispered among themselves, nodding in agreement, preparing to investigate in secret.

Then, looking at the golden apple in his hand, engraved with the divine inscription "Dedicated to the most beautiful goddess," Xue Dinglu realized he was in big trouble.

But this is both a problem and the best opportunity for him to receive protection.

At this moment, the three goddesses stepped forward, like three peacocks spreading their tails, vying for the title of the most beautiful goddess, and also showing their affections to this beautiful woman.

"Beautiful son, I am Hera, the Queen of the Gods. I can grant you supreme power. You will become the King of Greece, the sovereign of heroes, the true King of Heroes. And after your death, you will enter Olympus and serve me, living forever." The Queen of the Gods, as graceful and noble as a noblewoman, was the first to state her terms.

Zeus's eyes lit up. He wasn't angry at all that his wife Hera wanted someone to serve her; on the contrary, he was very happy!

Athena was slightly more robust than the other goddesses, but her muscles were not bulky; instead, they highlighted a healthy, leopard-like beauty. As in the story, her condition was to grant strength and wisdom.

Aphrodite, the goddess who seems to embody both purity and allure, also gave love.

Looking at the three goddesses staring directly at him, Xue Lude held an apple in his hand.

Let's go back half an hour.

Xue Dinglu discussed the action plan with the great sage.

"Old Deng, do you really think I can steal Paris's thunder?" Xue pointed to himself.

"It's not just that you can, it's that you definitely will. To people of that era, your traits were as conspicuous as a succubus."

Undeterred, Xue Dinglu added, "Could we take this opportunity to kill Zeus directly? By using the power of the cursed blood?"

“Impossible. As long as it exists within the concept of ‘sky,’ that Heavenly Father is an absolutely immortal monster. No matter what, he will be resurrected.” The Great Sage stated the information he had seen, and then looked at Xue’s Law.

"Is it something with extreme immortality again?" Xue Dinglu thought to himself.

He had previously faced the Lich King, another undead monster, and could only destroy him using volcanoes. But to face Zeus…

"The underworld!" Xue Dinglu said, his thoughts turning to the oldest Pikachu with an exhibitionist streak.

"Trick Zeus into going to the Underworld!"

Chapter 38 If you want it, then come and get it.

"The second question is, once Zeus has been lured to the Underworld, how can we ensure that he cannot leave?" The great sage posed this crucial question.

Looking at the old man's gaze, Xue Dinglu understood.

"With my death!" Xue Lude looked up at the sky, "with a grand death, one that will shock all of Greece!"

"Now it's your turn to perform, a play to fool the gods."

……

Xue's Law's contemplation made the gods and the three goddesses seem to want to continue increasing their stakes.

Holding the golden apple in his hand, he did not immediately decide its ownership, but said, "Father, I am just an ordinary man, and I am afraid that if I decide the ownership of the golden apple, I will be punished."

When he uttered these words, the gods immediately stepped out of their beautifying filters. Yes, this man was just a mortal, and it was understandable that he feared the wrath of the other goddesses.

Amidst the whispers of the gods, Zeus asked, "Then I hereby declare that the gods will not punish or harm you."

The gods were all shocked, because Zeus's declaration in front of the three Fates was essentially a blessing from the gods, and he even used his authority to ensure its credibility.

It's clear that this handsome young man is quite favored by Zeus.

"Thank you, Heavenly Father." Xue Dinglu sat on the pure white stone bench, holding an apple, with his back to the gods.

Where the gods could not see, he revealed a knowing smile.

[Divine Blessing (Rank A): Gods cannot directly attack, curse, or punish you.]

He's already halfway there; this blessing directly transforms him into a facet monster that doesn't take on objects.

"Mortal scholar, your time for reflection and choice is over. Decide who will inherit the golden apple," said Hera, the Queen of Gods, looking at Xue Luding's back as he sat on the pure white stone bench.

Xue Dinglu simply stood up slightly, without even turning around, and the pure white stone bench beneath him seemed to feel as if an approaching storm was brewing.

“If you want it, then come and take it.” Xue Dinglu turned around slightly, and the pure white stone bench turned into ashes. The gods actually felt an incomprehensible sense of oppression and power from this mortal. “My rules are like this.”

At this moment, all the gods were shocked, shocked by the audacity of this mortal, and also shocked by why he dared to be so arrogant in front of them.

At this moment, the goddesses who originally admired Xue's Law because of his appearance were all quite frightened. Even among the three goddesses, Aphrodite clenched her fists tightly, Hera slammed her scepter heavily on the floor, and Athena held a golden spear in her hand, her expression unfriendly.

Xue Lu smiled and reverted to his true nature. He was no longer as humble as before, and even picked up the golden apple in his hand and took a bite.

Golden juice flowed out, and he ate the fruit engraved with "Dedicated to the Most Beautiful Goddess." The three goddesses were furious, the gods frowned, and their right eyelids twitched wildly.

But when they were about to make their move, they felt the world's restrictions on them, and the violent pressure made it hard for them to breathe.

Only then did they remember that this mortal had tricked Zeus into using his protection, preventing the gods from punishing or harming him!

Is this the foolish scheme of this mortal?

At this moment, none of the gods who had initially been attracted to Xue Lude because of his appearance had any intention of taking him as a follower; they only wanted to thoroughly humiliate this arrogant fellow! The ultimate humiliation!

Does this mortal have even the slightest bit of respect for the gods?

Just as the gods were glowing red, Zeus, his face grim, ordered, "Hermes, quickly send this mortal back to Troy."

"Ah? But he's not a Trojan..." As Hermes muttered to himself, Zeus only gave him an ugly look.
