Chapter 180 Gaia's Prophecy 4
Hestia came to Athena with the dagger in her hand, admiring it and saying, "This is a weapon I have treasured for many years. I once used this dagger to cut off the head of a giant beast in the Aegean Sea. I hope you can be as brave and fearless as the warrior."
As Hestia said this, she passed the dagger to Athena, who gladly accepted Hestia's kindness: "Thank you, my dear Lady Hestia, and I also wish you success in your career."
Yao Shu took in the scene in front of her. Artemis raised her chin, crossed her arms and said to Artemis, "I just hunted a six-eyed giant bear the other day. Eating its eyes can increase your spiritual sea (sea of consciousness), allowing you to scan thousands of miles and be omnipotent."
After that, Artemis' personal nymph presented the six eyes of the six-eyed giant bear, with six yellow beads on the plate.
Its eyes were not like those of ordinary bears, but were as hard as candies, making crisp sounds when rolling on the plate.
Athena nodded and smiled, "Thank you for your kindness, sister."
Artemis raised her head higher, "You're welcome."
Yao Shu sighed in her heart, what a proud child! No wonder he was so concerned about his reputation that he would drive away his personal nymph, even if her nymph did nothing wrong.
Zeus gave Athena a fief, and other gods also gave other things and blessings. The banquet ended after three days.
Yao Shu and Delia were strolling in the Aegean Sea. Yao Shu turned around, and Delia saw Yao Shu standing there and was about to speak, but Yao Shu scooped up sea water and splashed it on Delia.
Delia cried out "Ouch!" and scooped up some sea water and splashed it at Yao Shu: "Oh, goddess, why are you like this?!" Yao Shu teased Delia with a smile, and the two of them splashed sea water at each other and laughed.
"Are you having so much fun?"
A silver bell-like laughter came into the ears of Yao Shu and Delia. Yao Shu looked up and saw the goddess of beauty Aphrodite standing under the tree looking at Yao Shu and Delia.
There was a trace of sadness and resentment on her face. Yao Shu used her divine power to dry her hands and asked with a smile, "I wonder what the God of Love can do for you?"
Aphrodite snorted, walked to Yao Shu and said, "You can come, but I can't."
Apparently unwilling to tell the truth, Yao Shu directly touched Aphrodite's heart: "Are you here to see Athena?"
Aphrodite was silent, so Yao Shu continued, "Athena is doing things in her fiefdom, just tell me if you have anything to say."
Aphrodite played with her beautiful golden hair. Her whole face looked like a golden ratio model, so beautiful and eye-catching.
"I want to compete with Athena for beauty. I will gather all the gods to evaluate our faces later."
Aphrodite said childish words, but it was normal for her to do such things given her divine status.
Yao Shu said directly: "You are more beautiful than Athena. Athena is the god of war. Rough people who often fight in wars don't need to look good."
Aphrodite was stunned for a moment, then thought for a while and asked Yao Shu: "You said this about your daughter, aren't you afraid that your daughter will not get along with you?"
Yao Shu responded calmly: "Because the God of War needs victory in war to adorn his beauty, and you need gorgeous decorations and beautiful looks to adorn yourself.
Besides, you have the divine nature of beauty, which is enough to prove that you are the most beautiful person. You don’t need to prove your beauty by comparing yourself with others.”
Aphrodite was very pleased with this, and she raised her chin and said to Yao Shu: "You are sensible."
After that, Aphrodite left the Aegean Sea, and Yao Shu and Delia continued to stroll around.
At night, Yao Shu and Delia returned to Mount Olympus, and Yao Shu soon found out that it was Hermes, the god of fraud, who did it.
Aphrodite spread the news that Yao Shu said Aphrodite was more beautiful than Athena throughout Mount Olympus.
Athena asked Yao Shu to come to her palace. Yao Shu sat on a chair and asked, "You want to tell me about the competition between you and Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty?"
Athena shook her head and explained, "No, whether she looks good or not is none of my business. As the God of War, Art and Wisdom, there is no need for me to be angry about this, otherwise my wisdom godhood will be in vain."
When Yao Shu heard this, she nodded with satisfaction, feeling that her years of teaching were worth it.
"Then why did you call me here?" Yao Shu asked.
Athena took out a blueprint with a particularly clear area marked on it, which was the fiefdom that Athena could choose.
"Mother, I want you to help me manage the fiefdom and elect a few priests to help me plan the offerings. I need someone to lead the masses to offer sacrifices to my temple. This way, I can increase my divine power and manage the fiefdom more conveniently."
Yao Shu nodded and said, "There is no question between us whether to help or not. Your business is my business. Mother will naturally do her part for the fiefdom. You can also arrange for the people of our fiefdoms to marry each other. This will help strengthen the connection between our fiefdoms."
Athena pointed to their fiefs and said, "But mother, our fiefdoms are separated by Artemis' fiefdom."
Yao Shu asked, "What do you think of the Artemis people?"
"She's pretty good, but she's a rather proud sister." Athena said cheerfully, "And she was so generous at the banquet, it seems like she's a little girl who's cold on the outside but warm on the inside."
Yao Shu nodded and said, "If you think so, I'm relieved. Although your sisters and you are not born of the same mother, you are related to them by blood, so you must get along well with them."
"it is good."
Athena thought for a moment and said, "Mother, I saw a woman named Medusa. I felt that she was very pious to me. I would like to elect her as the high priestess."
Yao Shu raised her eyebrows. She remembered that Medusa was raped by Poseidon in Athena's temple. Athena had no way to retaliate against Poseidon, so she could only vent her anger on Medusa and turned her into a Gorgon.
Yao Shu was silent for half a second and said, "Okay, but you must remember to protect your priests. Priests represent your identity. If you fail to protect them, you will be ridiculed because it will make you look weak and allow others to bully you."
"I understand, mother. I won't let my priest come to any harm." Athena nodded solemnly. Seeing that Athena's mind was not bent, Yao Shu felt relieved.
Yao Shu said, "I will send my high priest to help Medusa to be crowned in a few days. When do you plan to hold the ceremony to crown the high priest?"
Athena thought for a moment and said, "Three days later. Three days for gods is equivalent to three years in the mortal world."
"it is good."
Yao Shu and Athena were just about to go to dinner after chatting, when Artemis's personal nymph came to deliver a message: "Great Goddess Motis and Goddess Athena, our goddess wants to have dinner with you."
Yao Shu and Athena looked at each other and said to her personal nymph, "Okay, go inform your goddess that we will go."
As she spoke, Yao Shu conjured up a tranquilizing fruit and handed it to her personal nymph, saying, "This is for you."
Artemis' eyes lit up, and she took the tranquilizing fruit and thanked him, "Thank you, goddess, for your gift."
