People are conferring gods, I am Yuelao
Chapter 408
Eros looked at the soil of life that Epimetheus used to create animals at will, and felt that it was a waste of natural resources.
This kind of divine soil is only available in Gaia, the mother of the earth in this world. It is similar to the nine heavens of Xiran in the primitive world, and is the only material for creating humans.
At the beginning, Prometheus was able to obtain it because Gaia gave it to him because he was the most suitable god among the gods to create humans.
Not to mention that it is mixed with the seeds of life in Gaia's life bottle, which has strong vitality and spirituality.
Such a good thing is now used by this [late awakener] Epimetheus to create some beasts and animals at will.
Speaking of this Epimetheus, he has done a lot of stupid things.
In order to create the most perfect human, Prometheus collected various characteristics and abilities from the gods.
However, Epimetheus was a god who was slow to realize things. He used the abilities and characteristics originally used on humans on animals.
Braveness was given to lions, making them the king of the jungle; running speed was given to rabbits, allowing them to escape danger; sharp eyesight was given to eagles, allowing them to accurately catch prey in the air...
When Prometheus found out, it was too late. All the various characteristics and abilities given by the gods were used up by Epimetheus.
Therefore, when humans were created, they did not have specific, superior abilities or characteristics like animals, and they had nothing when they were born.
Fortunately, Prometheus did not take out the characteristics given to humans in advance because he was the creator of humans.
So humans obtained the only characteristic given by Prometheus: wisdom.
After that, Prometheus stole fire from heaven for mankind, and was punished by Zeus and locked on the cliff of Mount Caucasus, where an eagle pecked his liver every day.
But Epimetheus completely forgot Prometheus's instructions before he left, asking him not to accept any gifts from Zeus.
After seeing Pandora, the peerless beauty given to him by Zeus, he threw Prometheus's warning behind his head and happily accepted Zeus's gift: Pandora and the magic box as their wedding gift.
This led to Pandora opening the magic box and releasing evil, which infected and corrupted mankind. Everyone became extremely greedy, arrogant, extremely selfish, cruel, and attacked each other, and finally made the gods disgusted with mankind and ignored Zeus's flood to cleanse the earth.
Only Deucalion, the son of Prometheus, and Pyrrha, the daughter of Epimetheus and Pandora, whose souls had not been eroded, built a large ship in advance under the guidance of Prometheus, so that they could survive the flood.
Finally, under the guidance of Hera, they threw the bones (stones) of Gaia, the mother of the earth, behind them, thus transforming into new humans and realizing the rebirth of mankind.
So seriously speaking, today's humans are actually not very related to the humans created by Prometheus.
Eros looked at the island of Ossoni and amused himselfEpimetheus, who was playing in the mud, showed up.
"Who are you?"
Epimetheus asked nervously, with a bit of panic on his silly face.
Eros looked at his expression and didn't think of looking down on him.
Not to mention that Epimetheus has the strength of a main god, and he is not really stupid, but he is slow to realize things. In common parlance, his brain is always half a beat slower than others, plus his honest appearance, which gives people a silly impression.
Eros showed goodwill and said friendly.
"Your Highness Epimetheus, I am the god of love Eros, and I came to find you under the guidance of His Highness Prometheus."
Hearing Eros' words, Epimetheus immediately let down his guard and looked at him with his eyes that were sometimes clear and sometimes muddled. He asked after a long time of hesitation.
"What does Prometheus want you to find me for?"
Eros answered directly without beating around the bush.
"I want to find Pandora's box. Pandora is your wife, His Highness Epimetheus. Your Highness should know its whereabouts, right?"
Hearing this name, Epimetheus's muddled eyes instantly became clear, and endless sadness flashed in his eyes, and he murmured.
"Pandora..."
But after a while, the divine nature in his body fluctuated, and he became dull and stupid again, crying like a child who lost his most beloved toy.
"Pandora, my Pandora is gone! She was drowned by the sea and disappeared!..."
Seeing this, Eros was silent. As the god of love, he could feel the endless sadness and love in Epimetheus' heart, proving that Epimetheus really loved Pandora.
However, he needed to find the magic box through Epimetheus, so he took off the ice crown on his head and put it on Epimetheus's head.
In an instant, the slow-witted and stupid godhood in Epimetheus was temporarily suppressed by the ice crown, and his muddled thoughts were frozen by the power of ice and woke up instantly.
Epimetheus' eyes became clearer than ever before, and he smiled bitterly and thanked Eros.
"Thank you, Your Highness Eros! Since Prometheus was captured, I haven't been so clear for a long time!"
Prometheus and Epimetheus are brothers from the same mother, and their grandfather is Iapetus, one of the twelve Titans and the master of souls.
But their destiny is different. Prometheus has the godhood of wisdom and foresight, and is the wisest representative among the gods.
But Epimetheus was unlucky. He had a godhood that was slow to react. Under the influence of his godhood, he was always slow to think and had a poor sensitivity to everything. He always waited until things were over before reacting.
Therefore, the gods always looked down on him and jokingly called him "stupid Epimetheus".
What's worse is that after more and more gods called him that, the origin law really gave him a stupid godhood, which made him think more.Eros was even more dull and confused.
Only by Prometheus' side could he barely offset the influence of the godhood and allow him to live with normal thinking.
So although the gods were all chasing after the godhood, they would avoid some negative godhood.
For example, Dionysus, the god of wine, had a crazy godhood, especially after drinking, so he became crazy, so he was not welcome at the banquet of the Olympian gods, and could only choose to drink and revel with his own gods and believers.
Epimetheus, who had temporarily recovered his clarity, expressed his willingness to provide the whereabouts of the magic box, but the only requirement was to take him away from the island and find the magic box together.
This request was a bit difficult for Eros.
Because of Zeus's order, Epimetheus could not set foot in the sky and the earth, and when Zeus sent down a flood to clean the earth, Poseidon, the king of the sea, also brought a large amount of sea water to assist.
Except for the surviving Deucalion and Pyrrha, all humans, including Pandora, died in that flood.
So Epimetheus not only had a grudge against Zeus, but also against Poseidon.
If Epimetheus had not been blessed by his grandparents, the Oceanus and his wife, he would not have had a place to survive in the ocean, and might have had to go to the underworld to live in the end.
But despite this, he had been living on the island for many years and could not go anywhere else.
After all, in addition to the Oceanus and his wife, there were many sea gods who divided different areas in the endless ocean, especially Poseidon, who was ambitious and always wanted to gain control of the sea.
If Epimetheus left the shelter of Authoni Island, other sea gods, especially Poseidon, the king of the sea, would not mind taking advantage of his misfortune and even using him to blackmail Prometheus.
You should know that Prometheus, as a [prophet], can always easily discover and predict future events before the gods.
He even predicted to Zeus that the goddess of wisdom, Metis, would give birth to a son who is more powerful than Zeus.
So Zeus, who was afraid that he would be replaced, used words to coax Metis and took the opportunity to swallow her into his stomach to break the prophecy.
Before being swallowed, Metis was already pregnant with Athena. In the end, Zeus vomited Athena, and Metis remained in Zeus's stomach, providing him with wisdom and strategies.
So Zeus was wary of Prometheus' wisdom and valued it. In the end, he locked him on a cliff for stealing fire and handed him over to an eagle to guard him.
For Poseidon, who was ambitious to overthrow Zeus and ascend to the throne of the king of gods, it would be a great help if he could get Prometheus' wisdom.
Faced with Epimetheus' request to take him off the island, Eros fell into deep thought.
Finally, he looked at the sea outside the island and saw the ice crown on Epimetheus' head. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration emerged and he smiled.
He agreed to Epimetheus' request.
