"There are many tests, but when it comes down to it, it's actually very simple. It means standing on the standpoint of Mount Olympia and doing some great deeds—for example, foiling an action by Gaia, or killing an expelled Titan."
"So that's it." Pei Ziyun immediately understood: "What if it's not completed?"
"After you become a god, you will not be killed, but if you do not complete it, you will be driven to the edge." The phantom lady said: "What about your choice?"
Pei Ziyun asked: "Are the British Isles a marginal zone?"
"Of course!" Ms. Phantom spread her eyebrows and showed a little smile.
"Then I'd better be a self-exile. I don't want to commit the crime of killing a Titan. Even though he has lost his status as a god, the Titan can only be regarded as a giant."
"I respect your choice." Ms. Phantom smiled: "Okay, I have told you what needs to be said. See you next time."
As soon as he finished speaking, the phantom lady disappeared again.
"She is basically neutral, but to a certain extent, she still leans towards Gaia." Pei Ziyun stopped smiling, feeling the shadow and heaviness that had been vaguely shrouded just now gradually dissipating, and thought to himself.
"Moreover, I am telling the truth. Even if I am accepted by Olympia, I am still an outlier. There is very little room for promotion. In other words, there is little benefit in pleasing Olympia."
"The most important thing is, I won't stay in this world long, why should I get involved in internal fighting?"
"Now, the most important thing is to rush to the Holy Garden quickly and get the golden apple tree." Thinking of this, Pei Ziyun continued to drive the boat and slid towards the sea.
On the roaring sea, the waves kept rolling, and white waves washed up on the deck of the boat where Pei Ziyun was standing from time to time.
The boat floated in the waves, ups and downs with the waves, moving very fast, chopping waves along the way, heading towards the destination at lightning speed.
Pei Ziyun seemed to be nailed to the deck, no matter how the boat swayed, it was not affected at all. Even the waves rushed up, and when they receded, what was exposed was still dry clothes and shoes, which were not wet at all.
If you are hungry, there is water, wine, and dried meat in the cabin of the boat. Although it is not much, it is more than enough for one person.
I don't know how much time passed before the boat appeared in front of a coastline. Then, it rushed onto the coast at an extremely fast speed. Pei Ziyun jumped out of the boat and stepped onto a white beach.
"The Gulf of Thetis has arrived."
"This is the place where Hercules and the Argonauts once arrived." Pei Ziyun's feet stepped on the fine, soft sand. The sand was very white and reflected the dazzling sunlight.
The beach was surrounded by several rock walls, and he could not see the distance. He walked slowly towards the outside of the rock wall on the fine white sand.
Entering this bay, it suddenly became clear that it was a desert, with endless yellow sand with no end in sight.
Facing the desert with no end in sight, Pei Ziyun was helpless. There was no better route. This was the only way to reach his destination, so he could only walk into the vast desert.
"The hero of the Argonauts crossed the desert in twelve days."
"But I can do it in three or four days." This is because a gust of wind always supports Pei Ziyun, so that his feet only leave shallow footprints on the sand without sinking.
Pei Ziyun walked for a while and found that the desert was really barren, with no wild animals or birds, so he had to continue trekking.
After walking for a long time, we still couldn't see the end of the desert, and we were seriously running out of drinking water.
Suddenly, there was a beautiful color in front of Pei Ziyun. He took a look and found that in this dry and desolate desert, several fairies were playing in it.
"Mirage? No, no, I clearly feel that this is a real fairy." However, with Pei Ziyun's strength, he didn't care and continued to leave.
These fairies are all beautiful and exquisitely dressed, wearing gauze clothes and some exquisite jewelry on their heads.
But as he continued to move forward and approached these fairies, he couldn't help but frown.
"This power is the Star God?"
"Appears to be a descendant of Hesperus."
Hesperus is depicted as the god in charge of Venus, which rises at dusk, but in Greek mythology, the star god is a secondary god and his status is not important.
"It turns out that these fairies are the descendants of Hesperus, but why do they appear in the desert?" Pei Ziyun thought to himself.
He did not examine these reasons in detail, but continued to move forward. His purpose this time was very clear, which was to kill Typhon and rob the golden apple tree.
The fairy watched Pei Ziyun pass in front of them, neither stopping nor asking, she just pretended that they did not exist, with a surprised expression on her face.
They pride themselves on their appearance, so why can this person ignore their existence
Seeing Pei Ziyun walking forward and about to pass them, these fairies signaled to each other. Among these fairies, Aigler was the most beautiful, and the fairies recommended him to be responsible for communicating with Pei Ziyun.
Eggler looked at Pei Ziyun who had been walking for a long time and looked a little embarrassed, and said, "Poor foreigner, you must be thirsty after traveling for a long time!"
The fairy suddenly spoke, which made Pei Ziyun feel a flash of surprise. He didn't think he could have the charm to make these fairies wait for him here.
But he did not get too entangled and replied: "Beautiful fairy, I have been walking in the desert for a long time. I didn't see anything except sand, and there was no water source. I am indeed thirsty."
"Do you know where there is sweet spring water? If you take me there, I will pay you."
Fairy Aigler did not answer Pei Ziyun directly, but continued to speak.
"I once saw a brave robber who killed the dragon guarding the golden apple tree and snatched away the golden apples. He also came out of the desert because he was unbearably thirsty and couldn't find water anywhere. Then he used his feet to Kicked a rock wall."
Pei Ziyun knew that she was talking about Heracles' experience when he snatched the golden apple, and he also knew this, but he did not interrupt Aigler.
"Strange to say, under his kick, cool spring water immediately flowed out of the rock wall. The spring water that flowed out was so sweet. The spring water also saved the robber's life."
"Since the robber left, the spring has not dried up. It has even formed an oasis. I know where it is. Seeing how hard it is for you to walk in the desert, I can take you to the spring."
"Thank you very much, beautiful fairy." Pei Ziyun did not expect these fairies to be so generous. He thanked the fairies and followed them to the place where the spring water flows out.
Pei Ziyun followed the fairy for a while in the desert, and saw a touch of green in the distance, which was the boundary between the desert and the oasis.
When he saw the oasis, he couldn't help feeling in his heart, and he quickened his pace and continued to move forward. After a while, a large oasis appeared in front of him.
"This is the Holy Garden." Pei Ziyun didn't need any evidence. Just stepping into it, a feeling clearly told him that this was the Holy Garden.
Pei Ziyun traveled across mountains and rivers, across deserts, and searched for so long just to find the location of the holy garden. The golden apple tree was in this holy garden.
Thinking of this, Pei Ziyun paused slightly: "Typhon is already guarding the golden apple tree. Since the holy garden where the golden apple tree is right in front of us, Typhon should not be far from here."
However, no one was seen.
Pei Ziyun turned on the priest's sense, searched the surroundings, and soon found something strange, but Pei Ziyun did not say anything and continued to follow the fairy, and saw the spring water.
The gurgling spring water makes it difficult for thirsty travelers in the desert to resist the temptation.
Aigler led Pei Ziyun all the way here. She saw the spring water and said to Pei Ziyun enthusiastically: "Poor man, you have endured hunger and thirst in the desert for so long. Now you can go and drink the sweet spring water."
Pei Ziyun glanced at the spring water, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes. Without hesitation, he immediately stepped forward and drank the spring water.
Fairy Aegler watched Pei Ziyun drink without warning and sighed secretly.
Not long after drinking, Pei Ziyun felt tired, tilted his head, fell asleep, and snored.
The fairies looked at all this and seemed to have expected this situation.
"Hahaha." At this moment, a burst of laughter came out, and a giant suddenly appeared. This giant was covered in snake heads that were constantly shaking and spitting out letters. It was Typhon.
Typhon laughed: "You despicable person, I heard that you are resourceful and defeated the Greeks. Isn't that smart?"
"Now you drink the spring water I carefully prepared for you, with medicine sprinkled in it, which can make you unconscious, hahaha."
"A mere mortal wants to become a god?"
Typhon laughed proudly and stepped forward to kill Pei Ziyun who fell to the ground unconscious, while the fairy fled in panic.
At this moment, three consecutive arrows suddenly shot out, and the sharp whistling and the breath of death rushed towards the unprepared Typhon.
Typhon was unprepared. When he saw the arrow being fired, the arrow was already in front of him. He roared angrily and raised his hands and snake head to resist, but he only heard three "Puff-Puff-Puff" sounds, and the three arrows hit almost simultaneously. Typhon's resisting hands and face, the arrows only broke the surface of Typhon's palms and face, and a little blood flowed out, but he could not advance any further.
But Typhon roared angrily. He had not been injured for a long time, but now he was injured by Pei Ziyun's bow and arrow. More importantly, he felt that his dignity was offended. Originally, he used a strategy to deal with Pei Ziyun, but Pei Ziyun used a trick. I made a fool of myself.
"Damn thief, you will pay a heavy price for your actions." Typhon roared.
In the midst of Typhon's roar, Pei Ziyun jumped out and laughed at Typhon: "Typhon, you are so smart that you are mistaken for your cleverness. If you attacked me in the desert, you might still have the advantage of the location, but now you are He tried to force the fairy to seduce me into drinking the medicine-laced spring water, but he fell into my trap.”
As he spoke, he tore off his outer cover, revealing his fully armed body, and even took out a double-sided axe.
When Typhon saw it, his face was gloomy, and the snake's head kept swinging, showing that he was in a very uneasy mood. He glared at Pei Ziyun angrily and said, "I can kill you even without any strategy. Your arrows are so weak."
With that said, Typhon roared angrily and rushed towards Pei Ziyun.
Pei Ziyun shook his head and said, "Typhon, today I will send you to Hades' domain."
