Greece: Age of Ascension

Chapter 60 The Friendly Ocean

Golden apples are treasures that can make human beings live forever, but to gods, they are just a more precious fruit.

When Atlas went deep into the gap of the mother of the earth again, he climbed up the precious tree in the deep cave.She took off one and was about to leave when she suddenly remembered the words of the God of Retribution: "No goddess can refuse such a gift."

"Not even Nemesis." Thinking of this understanding goddess, he felt a sweet joy in his heart, and he simply took off all of them, one as a gift, and the other is to keep it for himself to eat on the way.

Speaking of which, he has been giving away this thing to others, but he has not tasted it himself.

I didn't think about it because of Qingtian's pressure before, but now I have the opportunity, of course I have to try it out.

He took a bag of fruit, came to the beach, rubbed it with his hand twice, and took a bite instantly.

In an instant, the rich fruity aroma filled the mouth, the coolness was mixed with endless sweetness, and a sense of happiness that penetrated the heart seemed to go straight to the sky.

Atlas almost groaned, he swore that he had never tasted such a delicious fruit in his previous life.

With joy, I couldn't help but start to feast on it.One, two, three. It wasn't until he ate the fourth one that he was startled, "Hey, the more I eat this apple, the more I want to eat it. If I didn't wake up, I'm afraid I'd have eaten it all."

He was secretly vigilant, telling himself to curb his desires, when suddenly there was a sound of swallowing saliva in his ears.

Qingtianshen was startled, jumped up abruptly, and instinctively threw an elbow backward, feeling something in an instant.

He turned around, only to see a pale old man clutching his chin and screaming "Ouch!" He could not be Nereus who represents the friendly sea.

"Dear old man of the sea, why are you silent when you walk?" Atlas hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, with an apologetic expression on his face.

Nereus slapped him on the head angrily, "I've been here for a long time, and I've seen you secretly eating apples, saying respect, why don't you let me?"

"I didn't notice," Atlas was not annoyed by the knock on the forehead, and helped the old man to sit under the shady coconut tree, took out two golden apples, and proudly stuffed them into his hands, "Dear Nereus, just eat, we will give you enough today."

The old man of the sea reached out to take it, and saw that under the sun, the apple was huge and plump, and the golden skin was shining, and he felt a special appetite when he saw it.

He was not polite to Atlas, opened his wrinkled, toothless old mouth, and took a bite instantly. Suddenly, a sense of blissful happiness filled his whole body, making him moan intoxicated.

However, in the eyes of Atlas, the other party squinted and enjoyed, just like a Shiba Inu being petted, as if it was about to urinate comfortably, which looked funny.

"So I was like this just now?"

He felt embarrassed, and a sense of shame lingered in his heart.

Nereus ate one, and then another. After eating the two apples, he came to beg again: "Son, give me a few more, these apples are really delicious."

Atlas smiled, and gave him a few more one after another. Unexpectedly, the old man of the sea asked for more, asked for more, and couldn't stop at all.

When there were only two pieces left, Atlas refused to give any more, and Nereus couldn't help saying: "You just said that you would give me enough, why are you so stingy now?"

Qing Tianshen was helpless, wishing to punch him with his fists, this old guy doesn't understand our oriental culture at all, I said "I'll be there soon", but I haven't left the house yet; Hour;
When I say "manage enough", I just want to be polite to you. This person admits to death, saying "manage enough", thinking that it means "manage enough".

He had no choice but to briefly talk about his pursuit of Themis, and when he learned that he was going to give the apple to Aphrodite, Nereus nodded, pointed to the other one and said, "Send it to Aphrodite." Give Beauty God one, isn't there another one?"

"This one is for Nemesis. Atlas hid the apple behind him so he wouldn't see it.

The old man Hai Zhi shook his head when he heard the words, "My child, you have been fooled."

What he said was inexplicable, and he couldn't help frowning, "What do you mean? How did I fall for it?"

Nereus said: "As long as it is a woman, no matter whether she lacks emotion or how utilitarian she is, she will never be unwilling to share her man with others."

"But Nemesis said so." Atlas scratched his head, feeling strange in his heart.

Seeing that he is still obsessed with his obsession, the old man Hai Zhi sighed speechlessly, feeling that this man is really a big fool, a rotten wood that cannot be carved.

"A woman's mouth is a deceiving ghost. You have to listen to what they say."

The old man stood up and stretched his waist comfortably, "I have seen your future before. Apart from thorns, there will be countless temptations on your bumpy road, and with your will, you can't resist it at all."

This is quite a good point. After all, Atlas is a time traveler. Although it has been completely integrated with the memory of the original owner, the inferiority of human beings has not been abandoned.

He also feels fear, sorrow, and loneliness.

When encountering setbacks, he may consider giving up, and seeing the fruits of victory, he can't help but pick recklessly,
If there is a beautiful woman lying naked in his arms, the warm body temperature and sweet fragrance, everything will become a sharp blade that shakes his will.

Qingtian God knows this very well, because he has no other advantages, but self-knowledge.

"What does this have to do with me being fooled?"

Having said that, he is still puzzled.

Nereus didn't bother to speak, and looked around, only staring at the golden apple hidden behind him.

Atlas was curious, thought for a moment, and handed him an apple.

Only then did the old man of the sea take it, and began to feast on it.

"Tell me, what did I do?"

Seeing his delicious food, Qing Tianshen was impatient and urged him repeatedly.

"The God of Fruition let you choose between the two titan goddesses, it's paving the way for you." Nereus said as he ate, the sweet juice slipped from the corner of his mouth, soaking his gray beard.

"She asked you to pursue the two Titan Goddesses. She seems to give two choices, but in fact, she already knows who you want to choose."

"So what? In the final analysis, she is still magnanimous, and she has wronged herself for my career."

"Oh, why are you so stupid?" The old man ate the apple and threw the core away with a very impatient expression.

Atlas endured and endured, and as a last resort, he handed him the last golden apple.

Only then did Nereus calm down, wiped it with his thin hand, and impatiently took a bite, immediately making an irregular gap in the apple.
