Chapter 289: The God King Sets Out!
She could no longer hold back, and the tears she had suppressed for so long surged out like a breached dam from those ice-blue clear eyes.
This was not because of pain, but after experiencing great ups and downs, it contained endless joy and gratitude, a cathartic outburst of weeping from sheer delight.
Her delicate jade hand clutched desperately at the God King’s collar, as if grasping a lifesaving straw.
No, that was not a straw; it was a towering pillar capable of supporting the entire Universe!
Hope once again filled her entire Divinity.
Prometheus, this stubborn Child, He had many things and many words, perhaps all wrong.
But He had one sentence that was absolutely correct.
The current God King was indeed the most merciful, most generous, most loving, and gentlest God King in the Universe.
Yes! His Majesty the God King was the well-deserved loving great father of all Spirits!
Whether Mortal Spirits or Gods, they were all His Children!
Zeus used His majestic broad Chest to shield her from the curious gazes of the other Goddesses; with this seemingly absurd playful banter, He concealed her current helpless and disheveled lapse.
How could astute Clymene not understand all of this?
When the Flames of Hope blazed fiercely once more in her heart, that Sea of Suffering of Despair was once again forcibly suppressed.
Even this time, it was suppressed more thoroughly.
Because this Flame of Hope was bestowed by the most radiant source of Light, sufficient to thoroughly evaporate all bitter waters.
The Dew of grace bestowed by that Great God who could Summon Wind and Rain was also sufficient to thoroughly nourish the nearly parched Divinity of this Daughter of the Ocean.
Clymene soon regained her usual radiance, and her ice-blue beautiful pupils once again shone with captivating brilliance.
Even within that dignified and majestic brilliance, there was now more of a coquettishness that she had not possessed before.
She smiled softly and gently pushed the God King away.
Then, following the Rules of the Game, she ran to the side of the Hall, joining that group of “already eliminated” Goddesses, and watched the ongoing “farce” in the field with a smile.
However, from this moment on, the gaze she directed at the God King always carried seven parts tenderness.
The wise and resilient Daughter of the Ocean was never a Goddess who hesitated.
As soon as she reached the side, she had already sent a new message in the Divine Thought channel.
But this time, it was a private message sent solely to the God King.
（Private message content omitted here, but you know what it is）
The Oceanid Lineage had always been His Majesty’s most loyal vassals!
Then, as a Daughter of the Ocean, she naturally had to offer everything she had to His Majesty, both body and heart.
Prometheus had also said that His Majesty was the father of the Gods, and He Himself addressed His Majesty as Father.
So… let this relationship become more tangible!
Although all Spirits were His Majesty’s Children, … fingers vary in length.
As a Mother Goddess, she naturally had to find a Method to make her own Children more favored by the “Father God.”
This was very reasonable!
A few days later, God King Zeus posted an announcement in the “Olympus Loving Family of Gods” large group:
He decided that on the first day of the new year, they would descend to the Mortal World together to receive humanity’s first formal Sacrifice and offerings.
And taking this Opportunity, establish the “Covenant between Gods and Mortals” for these newborn Sentient Beings.
This group was the large group of the Olympus Gods.
Although it was unclear why, besides the Celestial Pantheon, the Goddess of Night and her entire Night Pantheon family were also in it…
Zeus did not directly issue a Divine Network announcement proclaiming to all Gods in the Universe.
That would be the final Declaration given after formally establishing the covenant with humanity.
This descent to the Mortal World was more like a rare “family team-building.”
Although it was not mandatory for all Gods to participate, almost all the Gods of Olympus immediately signed up upon receiving the News, expressing their eagerness to join.
Lively events were something the Gods all enjoyed, and they were always very enthusiastic.
Even the Mother Goddess of All Things Gaia, who originally did not want to participate and preferred to stay low-key, signed up after much deliberation.
It was not that she valued humanity that much.
Mainly, she feared that if she were the only one not participating, it would make her stand out even more.
Lately, Zeus had not been disturbing her, and drawing His attention would not be good.
Besides, if it ended up displeasing Zeus, that would be even worse.
Ever since Zeus mentioned that temporarily unspoken, Predestined matter that was bound to be an Offense, she had truly been unable to Rest well during this time.
The more she thought about it, the more panicked she became; these days had been quite tormenting.
If Zeus had just gone ahead and done it directly, she might not have suffered this much.
But waiting like this, not knowing when it might suddenly happen—and it was bound to happen.
The taste of this waiting was truly hard to bear, even for the Mother Goddess of All Things who had seen it all.
And Lady of Night Nyx was even less reserved, bringing all her Children to sign up and participate together.
For such a grand occasion, she definitely had to make an appearance!
She must show her Existence in front of the God King!
Whatever Children the Olympus Goddesses had borne, her own Children must have too!
She could not fall behind them! Absolutely not!
She had finally found a （clumsy） excuse to comfort her beloved Daughter.
More precisely, it was a pretext.
Of course, that was a later story.
Finally, after another six months of waiting, this day arrived.
God King Zeus’s first truly grand and ostentatious inspection tour.
It was also the first time the Olympus Gods had set out in such perfect unison as a Collective.
Zeus placed great importance on this outing inspection, so the pomp and majesty were pulled to the maximum.
Sacred auspicious Clouds of various colors unfurled from the peak of Mount Olympus, transforming into an endless Cloud path leading straight to the Mortal World Earth.
The myriad divine radiances on the Gods’ bodies, each with their unique divine charm, intertwined and shone like flowing Starry Skies, illuminating the eight directions of the Universe.
One thousand two hundred carefully selected Nymphs of various flower lines danced gracefully along both sides of the Cloud path.
They scattered endless exotic petals infused with sacred Blessings, creating a continuous holy flower rain that filled Heaven and Earth with a heart-refreshing exotic fragrance.
The coquettish yet aloof storm Goddess Alke gently waved her hand, dispersing a layer of thin, dreamlike Mist resembling hazy light gauze.
Her Sister, the bright and colorful Rainbow Goddess Iris, generously unleashed her Divine Power, laying out paths of dazzling, dreamlike rainbow bridges of seven colors amid the mountain mists and Forests, and across the surfaces of Rivers, lakes, and seas.
The fierce and violent Titan Atlas’s Daughters, the Seven Pleiades— the graceful Maia, resilient and bright Electra, heroic and refreshing Taygete, sunny and cheerful Alcyone, shy and reserved Celaeno, brisk and straightforward Sterope, and their youngest yet most alluring and charming little Sister Merope.
These seven brightest Sisters, the Universe’s brightest nebula, had now transformed into a massive, brilliant star system!
This star system encircled and hovered behind the God King’s Back of the Head, becoming His most dazzling and ornate halo, illuminating Heaven and Earth with endless Starlight.
And their Sisters, the five Hyades as melancholic and tender as Dew—gentle and loyal Ambrosia, warm and steadfast Coronis, coquettish and poised Eudora, sincerely smiling Phaesula, and gracefully tender Polyxo.
These five gentle, coquettish, yet elegant and loyal Rain Nymphs summoned the purest Heavenly pure rain infused with rich Life force, bringing it down to the Mortal World.
This rainwater washed away all Dust and filth between Heaven and Earth, ensuring the God King’s path was absolutely clear and pristine.
There were also the four eminent and noble, fierce and loyal God King’s Close Attendants born of Underworld River Goddess Styx and Starry Sky Giant God Pallas, guarding the four directions—Nike symbolizing the God King’s “Victory,” Bia symbolizing the God King’s “Power,” Kratos symbolizing the God King’s “Authority,” and Zelus symbolizing the God King’s “Glory.”
These Four Gods, clad in fully armed sacred Armor, with boundless Divinity Radiance, strictly guarded the four sides of the God King’s chariot like four immovable mountains.
Their Existence was not for Beauty, but to manifest the absolute Victory and absolute Glory of the God King’s “Holy Justice Order”!
There were also the God King’s beloved nine Daughters, the ever-bright and joyful Muses.
As well as the three most beautiful and graceful Goddesses of Grace representing the Universe’s every “Truth, Goodness, Beauty.”
Together, they sang sacred Hymns and immortal Odes resounding throughout the world for their most revered Father God, sounding the overture to this procession and adding endless sanctity and Radiance!
Following closely behind were the three Moon Goddesses who refused to lag, the great Great Mother of the Moon Selene and God King Zeus’s Daughter—the pure Moon Eldest Daughter Ioskia, blooming Kallenthe, and mature and elegant Telesphra.
They summoned the most gentle and pure moonlight glow surpassing Daylight, draping this majestic procession in soft light and scattering it to the Mortal World, bringing peace and Tranquility to all Living Beings there.
This glow ensured that Mortal Spirits would not feel Fear and Alarm from the supreme vast majesty of the God King’s procession, lest it tarnish their Father God’s merciful Radiance.
The other Gods of Olympus also displayed wondrous scenes of their respective Authorities, adding endless grandeur and magnificence to the God King’s already indescribable supreme majesty!
As for the precursor signs of the God King’s Thunder and Rain Arrival, the Wind Gods of the east, south, west, and north bringing Vitality and change to the World!
The eminent and radiant God King’s Close Attendants born of Starry Sky Great God Astraeus and Dawn Goddess Eos—East Wind God Eurus, West Wind God Zephyrus, South Wind God Notus, North Wind God Boreas.
They had already arrived at the destination ahead of time, stirring up winds of the four directions symbolizing Majesty upon the Mortal World Earth!
In the wildest yet most reverent Posture, they drove the Wind and Clouds, making the Clouds surge violently like a boiling Ocean!
With the churning of the Clouds, they awaited the arrival of the Supreme His Majesty the God King to the Mortal World!
