The World of Deities

Chapter 1: wide awake

Views:

In the autumn of Athens, Greece, the blue sky is majestic and the river of clouds is flowing.

On an ordinary street in the workshop area, dozens of people were blocking the door of a gray and white residential building, stretching their necks to look in.

They looked at the fainted teenager sympathetically.

The shiny scimitar was retracted from the young man's neck, a line of extremely shallow blood slowly slid down from the wound, and it had solidified before it hit the ground.

"I just scare him, I didn't use any force, just scratched the skin... I won't die..." the knife-wielding man muttered to himself, held his breath, and turned to look at the brown-haired man beside him, the horror in his eyes gradually spread.

The scar lay like a centipede on the left face of the brown-haired man, crawling from the corner of his mouth to his eyes. He snorted coldly, and the centipede writhed slightly as if alive.

Suddenly, the boy's hands trembled slightly.

"This bastard seems to have moved..." the knife-wielding man hurriedly said.

Su ye was having a long dream.

Su Ye dreamed that he lived on a planet called Blue Star. He was very ordinary from childhood to adulthood, and learning was the only theme when he was a child.

As long as you work hard, your grades will improve, and once you relax, your grades will drop immediately.

Until the upheaval in the family, Su Ye in the dream couldn't bear it, became confused and helpless, had no intention of studying, and finally graduated in a daze, working in a daze, and the whole person seemed to be moving forward in a black mist.

However, the flame of unyielding in Su ye's heart did not stop.

On the day when his father was seriously ill and he couldn't even come up with a few thousand yuan, Su ye finally woke up.

The fog receded.

Su ye began to work harder than ever, even harder than when he was a student.

Fortunately, it was an era of knowledge explosion, and massive amounts of information were readily available. After self-study, the dissatisfied Su Ye joined the tide of paying for knowledge and became a leek with high knowledge anxiety.

Su Ye moved forward with a clear goal. After continuous learning, he thrived and became more sophisticated, more active in his work, better in thinking, and his performance continued to improve. He was promoted continuously in just a few years, and even won a lucky draw at the company's annual meeting. Incentives for trips to Greece.

After arriving in Greece, Su Ye stood on the cruise ship and enjoyed the beautiful scenery while imagining about his promotion and salary increase, becoming the general manager, becoming the CEO, reaching the pinnacle of his life...

The tsunami hit and drowned everything.

Su Ye vaguely saw himself being swept into the ancient ruins on the seabed, and then plunged into darkness. He was feeling desperate, and the world in his dream suddenly changed.

Su ye dreamed again that he was a boy in the ancient Greek city of Athens.

The two dream worlds were completely different. Su ye in the new world couldn't remember anything about the previous world, but the pronunciation of the two Su ye's names was exactly the same.

The new Su ye also grew up in a daze.

Su ye's parents were bakers and they were very busy. Su ye had no one to restrain him since he was a child, and he often wandered around the city of Athens. The place he visited most often was the largest port in Athens, Lion Harbor.

Last year, when Su Ye was fifteen years old, his parents exhausted their life savings to buy a student place at Plato Academy and sent Su Ye to study magic at Plato Academy.

Su Ye was still confused and his academic performance was extremely poor, but under the influence of Plato Academy, he still grew up and passed the year as a scumbag, entering the summer vacation.

At the end of the summer vacation, Su ye was preparing for his second year of study at Plato Academy, when the bad news came.

Seven days ago, the parents and servants who went out were attacked by a group of bandits, and there were no bones left.

Six days ago, the notorious "Centipede" Lawrence appeared, showed his parents' IOU in front of the tearful Su Ye, and then rummaged through Su Ye's house to pay off the debt, only to find one Golden Eagle coin, forty Silver peacock coins and more than two hundred copper owl coins

It turned out that Su Ye's parents wanted to expand their business, sold the old shop, and borrowed a house worth 300 gold eagle coins as collateral to borrow 100 gold eagle coins. It's a pity that before they bought a new store, the two met with misfortune.

Lawens told Su ye that he must either give up the house or die.

Today, Lawrence came again, and brought a person who should have died.

The servant of Su Ye's bakery, Ke Luo.

No matter what Su ye said, Ke Luo would refute it based on his knowledge of Su ye's family, causing Su ye to find that he had no choice but to give up the house.

Su Ye said in grief and indignation: "A wolf-hearted thing! You were originally a slave, and you were dying of illness. My parents kindly bought you, redeemed you, and made you a free citizen! Unexpectedly, you harmed me instead! Why did I Parents went out with a few of your servants, they were killed, but you were unscathed?"

"It's a long story. Listen to Master Lawrence honestly and give up the house. If Master Lawrence is happy, maybe he will reward you with a few golden eagles." Old Ke Luo laughed, his face becoming more honest.

"You... You know that our family is a foreigner. If we don't have a house, we can't study in Plato Academy! What's more, my parents have passed away and I don't have a house. What should I do?"

Ke Luo still had a simple and honest look on his face, but there was strong malice in his eyes, showing his yellow teeth full of gaps, and he smiled slowly: "You can sell yourself as a slave!"

Lawrence suddenly said: "Old Ke Luo, you don't fight back when you are insulted. It seems that you still remember their family's kindness."

Ke Luo froze for a moment, rushed over, punched and kicked Su Ye, and cursed with a smile while beating: "I've wanted to teach you a lesson for a long time, you little bastard!"

Su ye instinctively resisted, but Ke Luo reached out and drew a machete from a big man, and slashed at him.

Su ye turned pale with fright, and hurriedly backed away. He lost his balance and fell, hitting the back of his head heavily on the ground.

Ke Luo immediately put the knife on Su ye's neck, and he didn't realize that Su ye was unconscious until the knife cut through the skin.

Su Ye had a splitting headache, and the two dream worlds began to merge, and found that there were more and more differences between the two worlds.

This is an ancient world with gods.

Not only Greco-Roman gods, but also Egyptian, Norse, and Persian gods.

at this time,

The shadow of the Titans hangs over Greece.

Apophis, the dragon of destruction, is eyeing the solar ship.

The evil god hides in the two rivers.

The Doom Snake and the Dusk Wolf are about to wake up.

at this time,

Hercules has become famous in Greece and Rome.

Gilgamesh shares Persia with Darius.

Beowulf succeeds Lord of the North Sea.

The pharaohs of all ages in Egypt are resurrected collectively every few decades to compete for the real king. The current pharaoh is Ramses II. On the day he sat on the throne of Pharaoh for the third time, his sister in this life returned to Thebes. She was a hero king, known as Cleopatra...

"The Sophist" Socrates is not only a great philosopher, but also the only great mage who embarked on the road of demigod.

The "ideal" Plato was promoted to legend after the death of Socrates and founded the Plato Academy, which has been silent for many years, as if he neither wanted to be promoted to a hero nor to advance to a higher demigod.

"Recorder" Thucydides served as Vice-President of Plato's Academy.

"King of Geometry" Pythagoras has been perfecting magic geometry since he was promoted to the legendary archmage.

"King of Water" Thales, after getting acquainted with the Lord of Water Elements, once defeated heroes and warriors as a legend, and it was even rumored that he had the strength of a hero king.

Homer, the "Great Prophet", appears and disappears from time to time, while Hesiod, the "Peeper" who is as famous as Homer, lives in seclusion in the mountains.

at this time,

Aristotle is somewhat famous.

Euclid is distressed to be promoted to Sanctuary.

Archimedes had no intention of practicing, playing with things and losing his mind.

Alexander is working hard to cultivate, because if he doesn't work hard, he can only go back to his hometown and become the heir to the king...

Su ye did not expect that these heroes and celebrities from different historical periods would appear in the same era.

In the world of the gods, there were only gods and gods, and then there were humans.

Modern humans only know their own time, but Hesiod, the "God Peer" announced a discovery to the world.

It turned out that the gods successively created different human beings, the first being the humans in the Golden Age, then the humans in the Silver Age, and then the humans in the Bronze Age.

Every generation of human beings is worse than the previous generation, and modern humans are called "humans of the iron age" by Hesiod, which is the worst generation of human beings.

However, there are some people who are born different from ordinary people.

The blood of the gods flows through them.

They are descendants of God.

Since their birth, they have had the divine power that only gods possess. Although that divine power is very weak, as they continue to practice, their divine power will continue to increase, and they may even be promoted to true gods and possess the power of true gods.

With the continuous reproduction of human beings, the number of descendants of divine power continues to increase, but the blood of divine power becomes thinner and thinner. In the end, every newborn cannot directly possess divine power.

However, human beings are making continuous progress. With the help of Homer, the great prophet, and Hesiod, the peeper, human beings have created a method of cultivating divine power, allowing humans to refine divine power step by step and continuously improve their strength.

Hesiod believed that the improvement of human strength is equivalent to going back to the old age, so he named the lowest level of warriors the Black Iron Warrior, and continued to trace back the times, and then named the Bronze Warrior, Silver Warrior, and Gold Warrior...

Su ye's dreams changed faster and faster.

"Cough cough... cough cough..."

Su Ye coughed violently and woke up suddenly. When he opened his eyes, he saw the blue sky, and Ke Luo, Lawrence and others in his peripheral vision.

Su ye had difficulty breathing, so he stood up instinctively, propped his hands on the ground, and took a deep breath. After a while, he slowly stood up and looked ahead.

The closest is Koro with a machete.

Behind Ke Luo, the ferocious Lawens looked over coldly.

Behind Lawens, four strong men who were two heads taller than Su Ye stood apart, with their arms crossed, their chins raised high, and their eyes were full of threats.

Those big men blocked his view, so Su ye couldn't see the people outside the door.

Su ye frowned slightly, and many memories flooded into his mind.

In the next moment, Su ye's right thumb and index finger double-clicked twice, his body slowly straightened, his shoulders were stretched back, his arms were opened to the sides, his chest was raised, and he took a deep breath at the same time.

Several other people showed doubts on their faces, and Lawrence's originally cold gaze became particularly sharp. He noticed that Su Ye's eyes were foggy after standing upright, but in a blink of an eye, the fog dissipated, and his eyes were clear, as bright as a torch in the night .

At this moment, Su ye seemed to be a different person.

Important notes from this book:

After thinking about it for a long time, in order to avoid obstacles to readers caused by Western-style names and nouns, I will try to shorten the name as much as possible, and try not to exceed four characters.

There are also some words, such as "drachma", I will try to change them into a way that is easier to remember.

For example, Hephaestus, the craftsman and the god of fire in ancient Greece, whose name is too long, I cut it directly into "Vulcan". And Vulcan is the name of Hephaestus in ancient Rome. In this world, the gods of Rome and Greece belong to one family (the gods of ancient Rome originally used Greek directly), so this name is reasonable.

Words like "太" are all changed to "特" which is more familiar to readers.

Names like "Hermaphroditus", which gave me a headache even looking at them, were cut directly into "Herma".

Well-known things like Aristotle and Pythagoras really cannot be changed.

The ancient Greeks were all single names, and their names were generally longer, while the ancient Romans were even more exaggerated, with only twenty or thirty common names, so I will not deliberately use the name at that time when choosing a name, and the simplicity is preferred (authors with conscience, give up the number of words online).

Moreover, the translations of different books are different, which can be said to be very messy, and I can only choose one.

The common sense of ancient Greece is not suitable for the world of gods. For example, the original city of Athens was actually very small. At that time, there were no professional soldiers or people who maintained law and order, but it is impossible to write like this in this book.

And so on, I will not explain them one by one in the future.

Compared with restoring the ancient Greek world, I prefer to let readers read it easily.

Finally, welcome to the world of the gods.
