Give Me the Name of God

The gods who deserved punishment, including Hera, all chose hard labor in the end. A few lazy gods originally wanted to choose whips, but due to the shame of public execution, they finally chose relatively decent hard labor.

Those who deserve punishment are not spared, and those who deserve reward cannot be left behind.

Apate, the god of deception, was elevated to a higher level, and this was carried out personally by Hermes, the controller of order.

Two sons, Pan and Hermaphroditus, were also to be elevated, also by Hermes.

The bargaining chip Hephaestus wanted was too special to be made public, and was to be handled by Hermes alone.

The goddess of beauty, Aphrodite, demands faith in the world. In this regard, her situation is similar to that of Hera, and she has almost been forgotten by the world.

This matter also depends on Hermes, but the actual executioner is Manda.

When Qixing Mountain was first established, Manda also built a temple for Aphrodite. At that time, it was for Horna, but later because of Horna, Manda sealed the temple of the goddess of beauty and imprisoned her. There are many believers of Aphrodite.

Now that Aphrodite has made great achievements and has become a die-hard loyalist to Hermes, the previous grievances have been wiped out. All hostile measures against Aphrodite must be cancelled. At the same time, Aphrodite's position in the Seven Stars must be improved. The status of the mountain requires that the God of Beauty become the belief of young girls, and at the same time, the profession guarded by the God of Beauty must be promoted.

Hermes protects businessmen, Demeter protects farmers, Hephaestus protects craftsmen, and Aphrodite protects a somewhat special profession. They sell beauty, tenderness, and love at a clear price. To put it simply, it is a place of romance.

Manda never prohibits this. As long as the transaction is fair and consensual, Manda sees no reason to intervene.

But Aphrodite's request didn't stop there. She asked Manda to open an official aphrodisiac in every city.

This is not good! Do you want me to be the Madam myself?

"I am the lord of a place. Doing this kind of thing may not be good for my reputation..."

"What's wrong? Are you despising me or humiliating me?"

"Of course not." Manda was not arrogant enough to dare to contradict the Lord God.

Aphrodite sneered and said: "I'm sorry you don't have the guts. You absorbed Athena's divine power and were about to die. Who saved you?"

Manda quickly saluted and said: "The goddess's kindness will never be forgotten in this life!"

Aphrodite continued: "Your father faced a powerful enemy, fought alone, and was on the line between life and death. Who stepped forward and risked his life to help?"

Manda saluted again: "The goddess's righteousness is a lesson to the world!"

Aphrodite continued: "When mortals have feelings, love, and desire, they have the ambition to be enterprising. In your land, men are prosperous, but women are rare. Good men cannot find the comfort of a gentle land. You have no fighting spirit and are always looking for quarrels and troubles. Do you still expect them to open up territories for you and bring peace to the world?"

Manda continued to salute: "The goddess's merits will shine through the ages!"

Aphrodite stared at Manda, with a slightly ferocious look on her face and said: "Don't think that just a few perfunctory words to me will be enough. You have also seen that my relationship with your father is extraordinary. One day I will become the Queen of Heaven. You should know how difficult Hercules' life was on earth."

Manda saluted repeatedly and said: "The future of the goddess is limitless!"

"Mortal power is the foundation to change everything. When you return to the mortal world, don't let me down."

Aphrodite left the palace of Hermes and when she walked to the door, she happened to bump into Hermaphroditus, the god of yin and yang.

As usual, Hermaphroditus pretended not to see her mother, but this time Aphrodite took the initiative to say hello.

"Where are you going, young man? Why don't you say a word when you see me?"

Hermaphroditus smiled and said: "I do not want to bring shame to my beautiful mother."

"Don't be so mean. I had other reasons at the time."

"It seems you have no worries now."

Hermes and Aphrodite had a relationship and gave birth to Hermaphroditus, but in order to avoid Ares misunderstanding, Aphrodite claimed that Hermes had insulted her.

This incident was recorded on the cliff of Mount Olympia. Hermes was embarrassed, and Hermaphrodite's situation was even more embarrassing.

Today, Aphrodite thinks that this embarrassment should end: "You will also become a sixth-level god. We are all changing, why bother yourself about the past?"

Aphrodite left the palace, and Hermes called Manda closer and said: "Good boy, tell me what kind of reward you want?"

Manda thought for a moment and said, "I want a lot of wealth, at least one hundred thousand gold coins."

Hermes smiled and said: "Disguise yourself as a greedy man so as not to arouse my suspicion. What you did is really similar to what I did back then."

Hermes got it right, Manda smiled silently and didn't say much.

Hermes sighed softly: "I will not reward you for your merits with just a little wealth in the world. I am willing to hand over my back to you, which proves that I have no suspicion about you. How about this, I make a decision for you. , let me build you a temple.”

"I won't bother you with this kind of thing. It doesn't cost much to build a temple..." Manda was stunned. "You want to build a temple for me? Where should I build it?"

Hermes smiled and said: "Built on Mount Olympia."

"So, does that mean something?"

"It means you have your own place on Mount Olympia."

Manda almost jumped up: "Am I a god?"

Hermes was silent for a long time and said: "It doesn't count, because you don't have enough status, you are not even a demigod."

"Then I... don't quite understand." Manda really didn't understand what Hermes meant. Since he didn't become a god, what was the use of building a temple?

Hermes slowly explained: "First of all, you have to understand that mortals do have a path to becoming a god, but that path to becoming a god is extremely difficult. You must first become a believer of God, enter the ranks, and advance to the next level. You can do these processes We are all familiar with it, until you become an eighth-level believer, if you can get the artifact, you will become an eighth-level demigod, and you will be qualified to become a god."

Manda asked: "Does it have to be the eighth level?"

Hermes nodded and said: "If you want to become a god on Mount Olympia, the eighth level is the basis of your personality. A believer of Hercules can only rise to the seventh level at most. The seventh level demigod is the upper limit of his life. Eighth level is the upper limit of his life. This is true for gods below the level, they are not qualified to make believers become gods, this is the rule of Mount Olympia."

Manda asked: "Besides Mount Olympia, can one become a god elsewhere?"

Hermes shook his head and said: "This is the meaning of the existence of Mount Olympia. Here is the only path to becoming a god. The Lord of Divine Punishment wants to destroy this place because he wants to become the only god. Cronus wants to occupy this place." , He wants the followers of the Titans to have the opportunity to become gods. You should know by now how precious Mount Olympia is."

Although Manda still felt that there was nothing special about this mountain, after hearing what Hermes said, Manda felt some sacred aura.

"Can I go to Mount Olympia after becoming an eighth-level demigod?"

"It's still far away!" Hermes shook his head and smiled, "You have to go through countless tests from the gods. You may have thought that the promotion contract was too harsh before, but it is nothing compared to the conditions for becoming a god. Some demigods After going through more than a dozen tests, some demigods have gone through decades of tests. There is a believer of Apollo who has gone through more than three hundred years of tests. He is still fighting desperately for Apollo, but Apollo has long forgotten. Got his name."

Hearing this, Manda smiled slyly and said, "You will definitely not do this to me."

"Of course I won't do this to you. When you advance to the eighth level and find my double snake staff, I will directly make you a god, but so what?"

So what? What is the problem? Isn’t it every mortal’s dream to become a god?

"After becoming a god, I will gain immortality." Manda thought of this first.

"It's just an immortal body." Hermes poured Manda a glass of wine. A nymph wanted to come forward to help, but Hermes smiled and said, "No need, you all go to rest, let us Let’s talk alone.”

After the nymphs retreated, Hermes said to Manda: "There are three sources of nymphs in the mountains. Some are children of gods, and some are less important children, just like my mother, who was born a nymph.

There are also some special creatures. For example, if a child is conceived in the forest of Mount Olympia, then this child is destined to become a part of Mount Olympia. In fact, this is no different from the first situation. They are also children of gods, but It was just abandoned in the forest by the gods. The so-called "birth of the forest" is just a decent way of saying it.

The third source is the demigods in the world. Leroya was once the demigod of Aphrodite. Look how beautiful she is. "

"The one you ride like a horse and get whipped all day long?"

"Yes, who made her betray me? Once a demigod is qualified to become a god, he must return the artifact to his destiny god. From then on, he will cut off all contact with his destiny god and become an ordinary member of Mount Olympia, maybe a nymph. , they may be hard workers, or they may be guards, they are the so-called first-order gods."

"First level?" This number hit Manda hard, and he suddenly felt that life was a lot darker.

It took me so many years to become a seventh-level believer, but after I became a god, I had to start over from the first level.

Hermes continued: "They are quite lucky. Some demigods cannot stay in Mount Olympia after becoming gods, because their natal gods have their own spheres of influence. For example, followers of Pluto may stay in the underworld. Patrolling in a certain corner, the demigods of Poseidon may go to the depths of the sea and become soldiers and generals in a certain sea area."

Hearing this, Manda thought of Akira, the demigod of Hades. His current situation seemed to be that of a patrolman in the underworld.

"First-order gods should also have the opportunity to be promoted, right?"

"Yes! Of course there is! Who dares to say not? As long as you continue to create deeds, you can improve your status. When the enemy comes, a sentry may kill the enemy general. When making weapons for the gods, a hard worker may She came up with a formula that even Hephaestus couldn't think of. A nymph might have impressed the Lord of God's Punishment with her watery tenderness, thereby saving the entire Olympia. Do you believe this is true?"

Manda pursed her lips and said, "I...can't believe it."

Hermes smiled and said: "Miracles have indeed happened, but there are not so many miracles in the world. The eighth-level demigod can be all-powerful in the world, but after he becomes a god, the chance of him being able to create deeds is very slim. In my palace, there are She has been a nymph for thousands of years, but she is just a nymph after all. My child, is this really what you want?"

How to answer this? You can't say you don't want it, right? No matter how difficult it is, becoming a god is always the right choice.

"I believe you will give me a better choice."

"You're right, I'm giving you a better option, one that's risky but worth a try."
