Chapter 431: Chapter 288: Your Husband is Really Great! (8.1k)_3
But if the entire human population were to live under the oppression of the gods, spending every day in fear and trepidation, wary lest divine punishment befall them, how could so many pure souls possibly be nurtured?@@@@
Therefore, for their sake, and for yours, esteemed deities, it would be best if you slept for a while, giving these sheep on Earth a chance to recuperate and breathe.
During this time, I will oversee their care, shepherd the flock for you, and clean up the mess.”
As the leader of the rebels, Apollo pondered for a moment and asked in a grave tone.
“How long do you mean by ‘process’?”
Luo En considered it, his eyes flashing as he provided a definite answer.
“Three hundred years!”
From the collapse of the Minoan civilization to the beginning of the Trojan War was but two to three hundred years. Without the excessive intervention of the gods, he could accomplish much among mortals.
Apollo and the other deities beside him exchanged glances and nodded in succession.
“In that case, we agree.”
Through this rebellion, they had already witnessed the terrifying nature of Zeus. The proposal from Luo En, which demanded they bind themselves, seemed somewhat inhumane. But on closer reflection, they could see who the real beneficiary was.
Limited to splitting their spirits and descending to Earth in diminished form, with power restricted to that of deities or less, it meant there would be fair competition at the same level.
Zeus, the invincible King of Gods, was thereby brought down to the same level as them, losing the possibility of settling scores after the fact.
Moreover, even if His Majesty the King of Gods was not reconciled and still harbored thoughts of dealing with them, taking three hundred years to recuperate, striving to develop followers, absorbing power from their faith, and strengthening their divinity would suffice for a qualitative leap in their power.
Seeing that the matter was settled, Zeus, though seething with frustration, could do nothing about it.
The rebellious chief gods now let go of their worries, beginning to scheme how they would develop followers and absorb as much power from faith as possible in the next three hundred years.
Ares, who had just recovered, and Hermes, who had slipped back unnoticed at some point, also could not help but have a gleam of eagerness in their eyes.
Before, as Father God, Zeus held absolute authority. In every grand sacrifice, His Majesty the King of Gods would enjoy the largest share of power from faith, which established his formidable foundation.
But after this affair, Olympus would no longer be united; each of the Twelve Olympians would go their own way. Even Father God Zeus would find it difficult to command them as usual, taking from them at will.
In turn, they could bypass the Father God, return to their holy lands on Earth, and legitimately develop followers and absorb more power from faith.
If they could attract more followers, then they too might be able to enhance their divinity and their status among the Twelve Olympians.
Of course, the happiest among the gods would undoubtedly be Poseidon.
Having split from Zeus, the oceanic sovereignty that belonged to Occhanos would be his alone to develop without restrictions. The three Hundred-Handed Giants would also be limited by the ruling of The Three Fates and unable to trouble him.
Everything had indeed unfolded as the young man had said; his position as master of the oceans had finally been reclaimed.
Thinking of that bright future, Poseidon on land cast a fervent and excited gaze towards a “believer.”
Watching the chief gods around him, each with their own thoughts stirring and expressions becoming nuanced, Zeus’s face darkened even more.
Almost every chief god of Olympus had a foundation for developing their own sphere of followers, such as Apollo’s Delphi, Artemis’s Arcadia, Athena’s Athens and Crete Island, Ares’s Thracian lands, Hera’s Argos, Aphrodite’s Cyprus Island...
