Chapter 259 The Dark Iron Age
Yan Nu got busy, constantly transmitting clouds into the victim's body.
Each of the victims completed their tasks, got rid of the effects, cried with joy, and their voices were loud.
The army of demons and monsters rushed towards them, but were blocked by Yan Nu's holy clothes.
The tall figures of the Titans stood like minions, and they could only watch from the periphery.
"What is he doing?"
"It seems that the mission is completed..."
"Huh? The torment of Tantalus has been cracked?"
"He is constantly sending that purple cloud into other people's bodies."
"Ahhh, he really is the answer to freedom."
"Bring my baby out quickly!"
The Titans are happy and crazy.
He beat the holy clothes as hard as a barrier with all his strength, but could only watch Yan Nu help others complete their tasks.
Typhon looked surprised, and his hundred heads were stunned.
Would a lackey of the gods do this?
I don't know how long it took, but Yan Nu took care of the victims in one area and then ran to the next area.
The Titans followed hurriedly, shouting about beating and killing, and clamoring for Yan Nu to have a child, or to set him on fire.
But shouting happily could not do anything to Yan Nu.
Instead, Yan Nu took the initiative and cleared away all the monsters intercepted on the road.
In the end, wherever the Yan Nu went, the Titans followed, while the monsters became fewer and fewer and were gradually eliminated.
Unknowingly, Yan Nu arrived at the mountain in the center of the abyss.
On the snow-capped mountain, there is a huge Titan, with its hunched body and its shoulders carrying the sky.
"He is Atlas, the one who holds the sky, condemned to carry it forever."
"Actually, the mission is that the sky will never fall, but this rock dome is incredibly heavy. Only his divine power can support it, but he has to go all out, which is very painful."
"If he doesn't carry it, the sky will fall, oppressing everything in the abyss, and the mission will not be completed."
"If he goes to support it, he has to carry it forever. The task is always in progress."
"It can be said that this kind of 'eternal' mission, from the beginning of its design, is designed to make people stay here forever no matter what they choose."
Sisyphus introduced, while Yan Nu curled his lips and taught Hades another lesson.
"You are really vicious, you actually have an eternal mission!"
Hades cried: "It's none of my business. This was designed by Zeus. I just helped to decide it."
Yan Nu was stunned for a moment, and then he heard the name Zeus again.
"You also know Zeus? What is his relationship with Jupiter?"
Hades answered honestly: "Jupiter was transformed by Zeus. Their divine power and power are the same, but their names have changed."
"It's both the same and not the same...it involves the birth and death of civilizations."
"The fate of the gods rests on civilization. If civilization dies, the gods will perish."
"Rome destroyed Greece, and many gods fell for a while, but because Rome continued to believe in them, the gods revived, and this is what happened."
Yan Nu tilted his head and asked: "...Will the change of dynasties make the gods fall? We don't have such a situation. Gods have existed forever since ancient times."
Hades chuckled: "It's not about changing dynasties. There are only two kinds of people in Rome...Roman citizens and slaves."
“Rome killed the wise men of Greece, destroyed the city-states, and enslaved everyone.”
"Although it has absorbed a lot of culture, it is not an inheritance. Instead, it was two completely different civilizations that developed at the same time as early as when Greece was still around."
"Rome destroyed Greek civilization, enslaved the Greek people, and transformed the Greek gods...that's all."
"Besides these Titans, I am the only one left among the gods of old Greece."
Yan Nu suddenly understood and began to have some ideas about civilization.
Although the Greeks are still there, their civilization has died. Rome was a civilization developed from elsewhere.
But Yan Nu was even more surprised: "Why are you fine?"
Hades said: "I am quite special. There is no special temple in Greece. Except for some dark wizards and hermits, there is almost no belief. But everyone knows me, everyone fears me, and everyone remembers me. ...So I will not perish even if civilization dies, because the customs are still there.”
"You can be understood as my destiny, which is entrusted to the nation..."
"The Titans are the same. They are ancient gods and originated from people's worship of nature. They existed when Greece was not yet civilized."
Yan Nu finally understood that immortals also rely on heaven, earth and people, and gods also have different trusts.
The broader the concept of sustenance and the more primitive the factors it originates from, the less likely it is to perish.
Hades said bitterly: "All the gods think that humans were created by them, and even the people themselves think so..."
"But actually it's the other way around... God was created by man."
"No one knows the nature of gods better than me. They are the agents of destiny and the existence condensed by the beliefs of all living beings."
"The Romans also created another Hades based on me, but I killed him just after he was born..."
Yan Nu looked at the restless Titans and asked: "Why do the Titans want to break their fate?"
"Typhon forgot why he broke his destiny. Is it also related to the demise of this civilization?"
Hades said: "Most Titans don't have that many ideas. The Titan War was started by Typhon and Prometheus."
"It's just that Titan is too instigating, Typhon is powerful, and Prometheus is smart, so he followed suit..."
"As for why you want to break your destiny, I don't know...I haven't cared about this...you have to ask them."
Yan Nu curled his lips and immediately relayed what Hades said.
Unexpectedly, Sisyphus was shocked when he heard this: "What did you say? Greece is dead?"
Zichen Sanren knew better and said: "Of course he died. The gladiator named Sparta before was an enslaved Greek."
Then he talked about the situation in Rome.
Knowing that Rome was a typical empire of slavery and military affairs, Sisyphus seemed to have thought of something and looked sad.
"Has mankind...entered the Black Iron Age..."
Yan Nu was puzzled and asked: "Dark Iron Age?"
Sisyphus sobbed: "That was the future predicted by the great sages, and it was also the darkest age."
"Destiny drives mankind to a complete depravity, complete corruption, full of pain and sin."
"People worry day and night and have no peace. God only keeps giving troubles to mankind, and life seems to be filled with only depression."
"The father is against the son, the son is against the father, the guest hates the friend who entertains him, and friends are jealous of each other. The world is full of hatred, and even brothers are not as honest and loving as they used to be."
"Children and the elderly are denied mercy and respect, the weak are abused, the good are bullied, and mankind has forgotten all virtue and justice."
"Everywhere the powerful are gaining power, and fraudsters are rampant. They are viciously planning in their hearts how to destroy each other's cities and villages, and plunder other people's wealth and freedom."
"Integrity, kindness, and justice are trampled upon, and swindlers rise to fame and glory. Restraint is no longer respected. Evil men insult good men, they tell lies, and create trouble with slander and slander."
Sisyphus seems to be chanting an epic poem, describing the so-called Iron Age.
"This is really a terrible era..." Yan Nu listened and felt as if it was now.
And this picture is simply a symmetrical counterexample to the peaceful world he longs for.
Not to mention, he had no idea how beautiful Taiping was because he had never seen it.
But after listening to Sisyphus's description of the Black Iron Age, he had an idea... Wouldn't it be the so-called peace if all these were solved?
"Do you know that all this was done by Heaven?" Yan Nu asked.
Sisyphus nodded: "In ancient times, when Greece did not exist, civilization already appeared on the sea."
"We call it the Minotaur, a very unique civilization. They worshiped a minotaur, and all their artifacts have the symbol of a bull's head."
"Why you worship the cow-headed man, I don't know. It's a very ancient belief."
"But Titans had already appeared at that time...maybe it has something to do with the pair of horns Typhon got."
"Typhon is the Titan transformed from the oldest belief in breaking fate."
Sisyphus said, and everyone realized that in the ancient West, there were sages who understood that the way of heaven was a strange thing.
"In short, this civilization affected the entire Aegean coast, and the idea of resisting fate was the first thing they spread. That time was called the golden age, when people were united and people were harmonious."
"Later, with the Greek civilization, three generations of gods were born. Different from the Titans, they interfered wantonly with people and had more powerful desires than people."
"Driven by fate, Poseidon, the god of the sea, destroyed the Minotaur civilization with tsunamis and volcanoes."
"After that, it entered the Silver Age. Except for some sages, Greek civilization forgot those ancient pioneers and relied on and worshiped the gods."
"The symbol of the Minoan civilization, no one knows its meaning anymore, they just call it the Minotaur."
"The world also began to be filled with disputes, order began to become chaotic, and ideas began to diverge."
"But there has always been a group of people fighting, and I am one of them. As long as we are alive, as long as there are people like this in Greek civilization, who want to break fate, Typhon, who came into being, will not forget his mission. "
Yan Nu completely understood that the West and the East were both going to punish Heaven.
It's just that here, perhaps the strength of the people's hearts is not enough. It does not block the way of heaven like Yanhuang's layout, but actually creates a 'Xingtian Warrior', which is the so-called ancestor of all monsters, Typhon.
In this case, it is impossible to win. How can a god created by heaven win against heaven?
Therefore, even though he is "very energetic", he is doomed to fail and sink into the abyss in frustration.
"Haha, it turns out that you are also a person who defies heaven! I really didn't do anything wrong." Yan Nu patted Sisyphus and laughed.
Zi Chen said: "I know his name. It is said that he teased the God of Death and deceived Pluto. From this look, he is not a serious person..."
Yan Nu grinned: "That's right!"
Shen Leling listened very confusedly. She didn't know much about the ancient Yanhuang struggle, nor did she understand the history of these overseas barbarians.
She only knew that Typhon was chasing everyone now, and she couldn't help but ask Sisyphus: "You also want to defy heaven? Then why is Typhon still chasing you?"
Sisyphus looked sad: "Typhon said he couldn't remember why he wanted to break his destiny. In other words, all those who resisted the mission of inheriting the Greek civilization died..."
"Just as the sages predicted, the world is step by step controlled by fate, sliding into an unbreakable and irreversible dark age."
Greek civilization is gone, and the resisters like him are the same people from a hundred years ago, and have long since died in the abyss.
Didn't Typhon forget why he rebelled against heaven? But one thing is very similar to Xingtian, that is, he will never stop.
Even if you forget, you must win.
"Who says there's no way back? It's not the darkest hour yet, it's twilight at best... and it's the twilight of the gods!"
Yan Nu laughed loudly and said: "I will definitely take you out of the abyss, fight out of the underworld, rush to the heaven, and overthrow the gods!"
…
p.s: Sorry. Minos was the source of the Aegean civilization and was destroyed by Poseidon. He is also the source of the legend of Atlantis. But I won’t go into details about the myth, it’s too troublesome. I deliberately didn't use the name Atlantis, just in case you didn't know I was talking about Minos...
