Chapter 237: Let’s Give Humans Some Talents!
However, Prometheus did not have much time to think deeply about this matter.
He extended his large hand toward all the remaining Creation source substance, grasping it firmly in his hand.
Immediately, He forcefully scattered this mass of source substance toward the Sky!
The source substance transformed in the air into millions of light points, which then rained down upon the Earth.
Each light point, the instant it touched the ground, turned into one “human” after another!
A new race was thus born!
The ruling race of the Mortal Spirits world—”humans”—was born!
And at this very moment, within the Heavenly Dao Order, on the Supreme Woven Threads of Destiny, an unprecedented radiant glow illuminated the flawless pure Woven Threads, dividing them distinctly into two segments.
The Woven Threads before this moment were either flawlessly pure white or indistinguishably profound black; but after this, upon those Woven Threads of Destiny, colors dazzled in myriad hues, black and white intertwined, red and yellow connected; ultimately displaying billions of brilliant colors!
Goddess of Sacred Justice Themis, upon seeing the changes in those Woven Threads of Destiny, revealed a faint smile of Joy on her flawless holy Face.
And those three Goddesses who wielded all of Destiny, their pale white little hands gently brushed over this brand-new Woven Threads weaving the Destiny of all Living Beings.
Their faces also revealed a trace of joyful smile filled with expectation.
‘Universe, the new Era of Wisdom has finally begun!’
Goddess of Wisdom Metis quietly gazed at those tiny speck-like humans upon the Earth.
Even she now did not know what form this brand-new wise race, endowed with so many traits, would grow into in the Future.
However, she knew that Prometheus and his brother had bestowed far too much, too much upon this Newborn Humans race.
This new race was Predestined to be the most complex race in this Universe.
Metis said leisurely: “Prometheus, you have achieved your Objective. You have also completed His Majesty the God King’s task.”
At this point, the corner of her Eye glanced toward those Newborn Humans.
These Newborn Humans were all naked, their Gazes filled with ignorance and Innocence.
When facing this World that was immensely Vast and utterly unfamiliar to them, their hearts were filled with Apprehension and Fear.
At this moment, facing three colossal Great Deities as immense as Heaven and Earth, they could only prostrate themselves upon the Earth relying on their most primal instincts, trembling in fear.
And among this prostrating crowd, there were also a few bold individuals.
Within their innocent yet alarmed Gazes, there was still a hint of irrepressible Curiosity.
They cautiously yet boldly peeked secretly at the Majestic Giant God, whose full form their Gazes could not capture, not even a single glimpse of His true appearance.
Looking at this race that was already nearly identical in form to the normal “Divine Body” and could be called her “Child,” a sense of Compassion and Mercy welled up in Metis’s heart.
She sighed softly and said: “Prometheus, this Newborn Humans race is the creation born of you two brothers’ Effort. They are only complete through male and female companionship, so call them ‘humans.’”
“These newborn Children have not yet received true Wisdom. Facing this Vast World, they cannot survive.”
“Next, you shall impart to them the Wisdom sufficient for survival.”
“After humans can live Tranquility on this Earth, then return to Olympus to report to Your Majesty.”
Prometheus felt greatly reassured upon hearing this, and was even more profoundly Grateful.
He also deeply felt Gratitude that the Goddess of Wisdom was truly a Goddess of Mercy and universal love.
“Great and Merciful Goddess of Wisdom, thank You for Your care toward humans! I will certainly educate them well, so they forever remember Your Compassion and Kindness!”
Metis said faintly: “Prometheus, Sons of Iapetus, please remember. All of this stems from His Majesty’s bountiful Kindness and His merciful loving heart.”
“Educating these newborn Children with the Wisdom necessary for survival is certainly very important.”
“However, equally important, even more important, is to make them adhere to His Majesty the God King’s Holy Justice Order! To make them uphold His Majesty’s most exalted Sacred virtues!”
“Prometheus, please etch my words firmly in your mind and resolutely uphold His Majesty’s Order and Glory!”
When her words ended, the Majestic Divine Body of Wisdom standing between Heaven and Earth silently Dispersal without a trace.
The Goddess of Wisdom had already returned to Olympus.
Kalaunia, who had been quietly watching all this from the side, was already shocked beyond measure.
Prometheus’s actions filled her with Fear, even disbelief.
She did not understand why the Goddess of Wisdom did not punish Prometheus’s transgression, and even truly bestowed upon these Mortal Spirits the Supreme Bounty.
But she could sense all sorts of Anomalies.
What had occurred also gave her no standing to intervene further.
But now that the Dust had settled and seeing Metis return to Olympus, she wasted no time.
She immediately transformed into her true form, spread her wings and soared high, returning to Olympus at the fastest Speed to report everything to His Majesty the God King.
Whether she knew the inside story or not was unimportant; absolute Loyalty! Do what she ought to do!
She did not even bid farewell to Prometheus and his brother.
She had resolved to stay far away from the audacious Prometheus in the future; the Sons of Iapetus were all too outrageous!
After Metis and Kalaunia had both departed, Prometheus exhaled a silent and Heavy breath.
The “circle” suspended between Him and his brother, which had closely connected them, began to rapidly Dispersal after this Great Merit was accomplished.
That brief unified whole swiftly separated once more, reverting to the independent “Foresight” and “Epimetheus.”
The Sons of Iapetus dispersed their Majestic Divine Body, restoring the normal “Divine Body.”
Their size was now not much different from the humans on the Earth.
Only the faint Radiance emanating from their Divine Body, their flawless, unblemished, perfect and healthy bodies, and their superhuman Majestic demeanor revealed that they were not Mortal Spirits.
The World was immensely Vast.
The humans at this time numbered only a little over a million.
Even gathered together, compared to the boundless World, they were still minuscule to the point of being negligible.
The Divine Bodies of the three Great Gods had vanished, and the grand Phenomenon had also Dispersal without a trace.
These two Gods simply stood in the Middle of the humans.
But those still prostrating humans still dared not rise.
Their instincts told them that those still standing were Great Existences they completely could not comprehend, who could decide their everything.
Only a few bold ones dared to lift their pure and innocent Gazes, filled with Curiosity and Fear, looking at Them.
Epimetheus looked at his frowning, pensive Brother, then at these newborn frail humans.
He pondered for a moment, blinked his Eyes that seemed to flicker with wise Radiance, and said softly: “Prometheus, my Brother, though ‘humans’ possess Wisdom for free growth, they are truly too weak.”
“Look, they cannot soar through the skies like the Eagle, nor run as swiftly as the cheetah.”
“They lack hard scales, cannot change color and Disguise like the Chameleon, and in terms of Courage and ferocity, are far inferior to the lion.”
“How can such Vulnerable humans become the rulers of all Mortal Spirits on this Earth?”
“Relying merely on their shallow Spirituality and Wisdom, and their exceedingly brief Life, even if they can grow continuously, how powerful can they ultimately become?”
“I think, why not let me grant them some powerful gifts!”
“I’ll give them a pair of wings, add some scales, um, I can also give them fur, sharp claws! Color-changing isn’t impossible, add some fangs!”
“Concentrate all the strengths of the powerful Living Beings on the Earth into them!”
“This way, they can easily rule over all Living Beings on the Earth.”
Prometheus looked speechlessly at his Younger Brother, so exasperated he nearly choked and couldn’t utter a word.
His lips moved, hesitating to speak, opening and closing several times.
Finally, it turned into a sigh filled with Helplessness: “You hopeless fool, please, stop casually displaying your pitiful Wisdom!”
“Remember this! ‘Balance’ and ‘sustained cycle’ are the only path to true long-term Development! The only Truth that can let the Universe thrive healthily!”
“Just because ‘humans’ are to become the rulers of Mortal Spirits, does that mean we can disregard the Sacred ‘Balance’?”
“They already possess ‘Wisdom’ for free growth; that is already the greatest Bounty bestowed by His Majesty the God King and the Goddess of Wisdom! Second to none! Because it is infinite potential!”
“Moreover, the human form is modeled after the Gods! It is already Perfect! They have hands and Wisdom! Don’t mess around!”
After fiercely rebuking his foolish Younger Brother, Prometheus panted heavily a few times before continuing: “Besides, have you not felt it? We no longer have the Authority to casually Create or bestow gifts upon Living Beings.”
“His Majesty the God King has reclaimed His authorization; our task was completed the moment ‘humans’ were Created.”
