Chapter 185: Council Of Gods
The Gods immediately followed Zeus’s lead, transforming into streams of divine light with the most majestic posture, heading to the Summit of Olympus, that divine palace exclusively used for the Gods’ deliberations, the most magnificent supreme one.
Pantheon.
After Zeus and the Main Gods sat down, Themis gently nodded to the Three Fates standing attendant behind her.
These three great Goddesses who wield the destiny of all things and all spirits in the entire Universe immediately joined hands and activated the “Heavenly Dao Order” that gathered the power of the Gods and already covered the entire Universe.
The originally already extremely vast divine palace, in a silent manner, began to infinitely expand and fold its internal space in an unimaginable and extremely wondrous way.
From the outside, the size of the divine palace showed no change at all.
But the space inside had already become a “living” existence.
No matter how many Gods it needed to accommodate, it would become exactly right—neither appearing empty nor crowded in the slightest. It would automatically change its size and structure according to the number and status of the “existences” inside.
This point seemed simple, but it was enough to shock to the point of horror all the Gods who still did not understand the “Heavenly Dao Order”.
It must be known that many of the Great Gods inside the hall at this moment were themselves powerful Law Gods!
Each of Them was the incarnation of one or even several complete Laws, closely connected to the entire Universe, and most were the foundation of the Universe’s existence.
Yet, the three Fates could still silently alter the structure of the space’s existence from the root without affecting Them in the slightest.
Since They could achieve this, it also meant that under this “Heavenly Dao Order”, if one wanted to destroy Their divine bodies, They would have no power to resist.
Unless choosing direct divinity return to the Law’s Origin, They would not possess any power to resist.
The invincible God King was becoming increasingly invincible.
However, these Olympus Gods inside the hall, already accustomed to such things, felt no ripples in their hearts.
Anyway, this authority was also in the God King’s hands; for the God King, this little trick no longer held much meaning.
For the Gods, this was truly negligible; whether or not they had this set of things, if the God King wanted to act, everyone had no possibility of resisting anyway.
No need to make a fuss, as if without this thing, everyone could confront the God King.
After everything inside the hall was ready, all the Great Gods sat calmly on their divine seats, and the Four Winds jointly blew up a storm sweeping the entire World.
Accompanied by a thunderbolt resounding through the Universe and announcing to all Gods, those numerous Gods and Nymphs from the Three Realms and Three Domains, as well as many powerful higher Elemental Deities, who had long been respectfully waiting at the foot of Mount Olympus, all straightened their appearance, filled with utmost tension and excitement, and set off to climb Mount Olympus.
Flying was definitely not allowed, nor were any other clever methods permitted.
They could only climb upward step by step on foot.
This was to pay homage to His Majesty the Supreme God King; absolute and utmost respect must be maintained.
This Mount Olympus, level with the Sky Dome and serving as the Order Center of the Universe, had a climbing path that grew increasingly difficult the higher it went.
Various terrifying gales capable of easily crushing ordinary minor gods would whistle through the mountains without warning.
The increasingly dense and active Aether elements with rising altitude were like an invisible ocean, omnipresent, with heavy pressure making it extremely difficult for many Gods’ divine bodies to function.
Moreover, the higher they went, the more terrifying that formless yet real, majestic divine power emanating from the Great Gods at the summit became.
The pressure of the divine power was like moving mountains, making all climbers feel immense, life-hierarchy-based terrifying suppression.
Before even paying homage to the God King and the many Great Gods, these pressures were enough to inspire the deepest awe in them.
Of course, the merciful God King did not deliberately make things difficult for them.
Those lethal gales and sight-obscuring mists had all been dispersed by His wave of the hand.
Furthermore, by the God King’s order, the Four Winds rolled up fragrant golden rain transformed from the divine wine Nectar, sprinkling it along the way to nourish every climber’s body, bringing them continuous power and ceaselessly enhancing their divine power.
In fact, after Mount Olympus reached half its height, it became the sacred place where the Gods resided, forbidden to mortal spirits.
That was the place where the sacred domains of many Great Gods intersected; no living beings without permission could absolutely enter.
Now, these Gods could still continue their difficult upward climb—this itself was the result of Zeus personally lifting the restrictions for them and generously granting too many blessings.
During this long time waiting for the Council of Gods to begin, those Gods who arrived early received unimaginable great fortunes.
The great union of Zeus and the three Goddesses was the evolution and perfection of the Universe’s supreme Laws.
Being on Mount Olympus, the feeling of all this was naturally the most distinct.
These Gods waiting at the foot of the mountains personally experienced those earth-shattering cosmic phenomena; the more they experienced, the greater their harvest, and some Gods even underwent earth-shaking changes in their divine essence.
Even the fools among them without any comprehension ability could greatly enhance their divine power and divine body under the universal irradiation of the sweet rains from the sky full of golden rain.
To personally enjoy, at such close range, the graces bestowed by the omniscient and omnipotent God King—this fortune was something countless living beings dared not dream of.
What’s more, some with extreme luck were directly favored by Olympus’s Great Gods, taken as attendants and Lesser Gods, ascending to the heavens in a single step.
Moreover, within the Olympus sacred domain, all forms of combat were strictly forbidden; it was an absolutely safe place.
At the same time, it was the cultivation paradise with the densest and most active Aether elements; those Gods who arrived early, even if just finding a place to sleep, would have gained much upon awakening.
It could be said that for this Council of Gods, for all the Gods coming to pay homage, what they paid was merely the hardship of traveling some distance and climbing a mountain.
What they harvested, however, was supreme opportunities sufficient to change their destinies, which they might never obtain in eternal life.
Even this current mountain-climbing journey, though arduous, as long as they were willing to persist, under the God King’s Shelter, they would definitely succeed in reaching the summit.
To have the fortune to stand on the Summit of Olympus and personally feel the God King’s radiance—this alone was the greatest luck.
And the generous and merciful God King even commanded the Four Winds to transform the divine wine, which only Great Gods could drink daily, into fine rain to bestow upon them—this was an immense fortune beyond words.
The divine wine（Nectar） and Ambrosia（Ambrosia） exclusively for Olympus Great Gods are formed by the combined divine power of the Mother Goddess of All Things Gaia and the Olympus Gods.
They suit the tastes of all living beings and are the most delicious delicacies in the Universe.
The divine wine and Ambrosia change flavor according to the drinker’s personal preferences, based on their mood at the time and deepest desires, ensuring every taste is their most favorite, most beloved, most desired supreme delicacy.
The color of the divine wine also changes with the God’s emotions: golden thunder patterns when Zeus drinks it, pink-purple halos when Aphrodite drinks it, and the breath exhaled afterward turns into flowers or rainbows.
Moreover, they contain extremely abundant divine power and pure divine qualities—this is the top sacred product exclusively for Olympus Great Gods.
Not to mention Gods from the Mortal World; even noble-born Great Gods who fared poorly could not hope to enjoy it.
In the Cronus era, this was basically a special supply for Mount Othrys; now, in Zeus’s era, it is the special supply for the Olympus Gods.
For all living beings outside the Olympus Great Gods, not to mention enjoying it, even having the fortune to see it was heavenly luck.
For Zeus and the many Great Gods, it seemed merely casual daily fare.
Yet in reality, not only for mortals, but even for all minor gods, Nymphs, and spirits, it was a supreme divine object sufficient to remold them entirely.
The divine wine and Ambrosia contain powerful divine power, divinity, and immortal qualities, which can grant the body eternal life, everlasting youth, immunity to aging, removal of diseases, resistance to Death, and even bestow divinity upon mortals to elevate them to gods.
Even for Gods consuming it, it can greatly enhance their divinity and power.
This enhancement is theoretically limitless; continuous consumption leads to continuous enhancement.
Although for those powerful Gods already at the Universe’s pinnacle, the enhancement effect gradually weakens, this so-called “too strong” standard is measured against those renowned powerful Main Gods in the Olympus Pantheon.
For ordinary Gods, this is a shortcut to the heavens they dare not even dream of.
And even for Great Gods, Ambrosia and divine wine possess extremely powerful healing abilities.
When a God is injured, merely applying Ambrosia to the wound allows it to heal rapidly, leaving no scars or aftereffects.
They can also purify the God’s body and rapidly restore their depleted divine power.
Even without direct consumption, the extraordinary fragrance emanating from Ambrosia and divine wine, when used as ointments or perfumes on the body, can make a God’s skin glow with faint divine light and emit an enchanting fragrance.
If this were in the East, it would be akin to the effects of Laozi’s golden pills and Queen Mother’s peaches, but the superior kind.
Now, merely by climbing Mount Olympus, they could enjoy the sweet nectar transformed from such divine objects—even if not directly consumed, it was a fortune unattainable after countless years of cultivation.
