Players’ NPC daddy.

In that ordinary forest, beside that ordinary river, an expected person was standing there.

"Hey." Blaze greeted the man, "I knew you would be here, Kullene."

"Boy, you're here too."

Culene showed her depressed mood on her face, probably because she felt frustrated that she did not read the information on Nick Italion's tombstone and was unprepared to face the invasion of the salt water Tiamat.

"If you want to say something regretful, I will just [SKIP] you."

Blaze walked to Kullene's side, put his hands in his pockets and looked at the tombstone in the river. It was the first time he saw such a strange tombstone. There was no record of the owner's life on it, but only information for future people.

He could somewhat understand Nick Itarion's approach. If someone said the sky was going to fall, no one would believe it. And if one made endless preparations for a sky that might fall at any given moment, people would think one was a lunatic.

"I just feel a little emotional. I never thought that one day I would not be able to see through a person's thoughts." Kullene sighed, her eyes deep.

"You know, old guys also have their own pride. Only when young people come to you when they are at a loss, and then come up with solutions, can you be considered a qualified old guy."

"Experience, knowledge, and background are the only things that old guys can use to defeat young people. If they can't even do this, then all they can do is...ha."

Culene laughed at herself, then crossed her arms and spoke in her usual frivolous tone.

"But I'm thick-skinned. Even if it's useless, I will still stand on the stage shamelessly, waiting for you young people to lead me to victory without any effort, and then flatter myself."

"Please move, otherwise your butt will be rubbed when we drag you." Blaze patted Kulene's shoulder and stepped into the river.

“Didn’t that remnant of the Age of Gods named Theresa show you what was on the tombstone?” Kullene shouted from the shore, as if she didn’t want her shoes to get wet.

"I think the tombstone in the water is a reminder, so it's better to see the real thing."

Blaze scooped up the river water with his hand and licked it with his tongue.

"It does smell sweet... Do you think he is planning to create a sea of ​​sweet water himself?"

"That would take at least several thousand years."

"Hmm..." Blaze squatted down and touched the tombstone with his hand. His finger stopped at the Pisces symbol. "It seems that we have to start with Pisces."

"You should know how Pisces fell. By the way, is Pisces related to this matter?"

"Not only do I know them, I also know them. Moreover, Pisces and this matter, or to be more precise, the [Remnant Wall of Heaven] are directly related."

Chapter 1660 That is a goddess with a bad brain

Pisces, the last of the twelve great constellations that make up the supreme circle of life, always has such a special position as the beginning and the end, so Pisces is undoubtedly the most special among them.

Its uniqueness can almost be seen directly from its composition, which is two fish connected by a ribbon.

[Two], which is the number two, is special. Life and death are two, heaven and earth are two, yin and yang are two, female and male are two. At the beginning of creation, everything was divided into two and the world was born.

Pisces symbolizes this extremely important [two].

But isn't Gemini one of the twelve great constellations? It is also composed of two. Doesn't it represent "two"? No, because in Pisces, the fish tails that tie the two fish together, the silk thread that connects the two fish together, is the most important.

This means that although those two are opposed to each other, they are also closely connected and neither can be missing.

Pisces is the end of the circle of life, and it is well deserved. It is the final state that all living beings, including God, can reach, and it brings the two together into one.

It is both good and evil, both yin and yang, both life and death. It may not be omniscient and omnipotent, but it has nothing missing.

Pisces, which symbolizes such an important status, must also possess extremely high power and be extremely noble... This is what Blazer thought, but the reality is completely the opposite.

"Ah~ Pisces, the goddess of beauty Aphrodite and her son." Cyrene twitched the corners of her mouth, as if she recalled some bad memories, with a look of despair on her face.

"She is the goddess of beauty, love, and sexual desire. She symbolizes the beauty of women and is considered the highest symbol of female physical beauty. In a way, she is a slightly inferior version of Ishtar."

"Low-profile..."

The corner of Blaze's mouth twitched. In fact, when he heard halfway, he felt that the goddess of beauty Aphrodite and Ishtar were quite similar in many elements.

However, he could also understand this situation. Just as the world must have the sky and the earth, the original mythological totems all had similarities, and that was why they could be integrated with each other.

But he didn't expect that Cyrene, who was also one of the Olympian gods, gave a low-profile evaluation of Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty on his side.

"Most of the time, her appearance means trouble, and most importantly..." Kullene nodded her head, "She is not very smart."

"Is she a fool?"

"Yes." Cyrene sighed and took out an apple from her pocket. "If an apple with the words 'given to the most beautiful goddess' was placed in front of Ishtar, do you think she would want it?"

"Probably not."

Based on Blaze's understanding of Ishtar, the proud lion, she would find this thing ridiculous. Why would the goddess who is the embodiment of beauty need an apple to prove herself? Isn't this cheap?

Moreover, there is more than one goddess, and everyone loves beauty. This kind of thing that praises oneself and puts others down is obviously released deliberately to provoke disputes.

"But she wants it. As the embodiment of beauty, she not only wants it, but she also wants to compete with the daughter of the king of gods, the goddess of wisdom Athena, and the queen of heaven Hera."

"This..." Blaze felt that there should be so-called human relationships among the gods. The king of gods should be the pinnacle of power, and his daughter Athena and his wife Hera should be the second stage of power, or even at the same pinnacle, below one god and above all gods.

If the goddess of beauty Aphrodite had any sense and emotional intelligence, she should have chosen to withdraw from the competition in a sensible way, which would have both demonstrated her pride as the embodiment of beauty and avoided conflict with Athena and Hera.

But looking at Cyrene's headache expression, it was obvious that the three goddesses were fighting like crazy at that time, and the goddess of beauty Aphrodite was the most enthusiastic one.

"So, this goddess of beauty, Aphrodite, has a powerful backer? Like Ishtar, for example, she possesses immense authority and influences the reproduction of all things."

"No, although she was born from the foam created when the thing beneath the first king of the gods, the [Remnant of the Sky], fell into the ocean, symbolizing the sexual desire of life, the Sky God and the Earth Goddess Gaia had already given birth to the Titans, and the Sky God's separation also symbolized the birth of life. Her birth was merely the icing on the cake."

The connection between the goddess of beauty Aphrodite and the [Remnants of Heaven] was revealed so casually, without any sense of mystery.

Blaze sighed in his heart, this goddess of beauty Aphrodite was indeed a bit stubborn. Even when her power and strength were inferior to the other two, she still insisted on snatching.

"In the end, the fight got so bad that a fight broke out. The King of the Gods came up with a method that would rank in the top ten of "Old people are crazy and would do this" to resolve the dispute. That method was to find a human to decide who gets the apple. Isn't that ridiculous?"

"This... is indeed inappropriate. The gods present should vote anonymously, and the one with the most votes will get the apple. This is the fairest way." Blaze put forward his idea.

"That's right. Unfortunately, there was no concept of fair voting at that time. As a messenger, I brought a human with me, thinking that things would finally be over. All I had to do was for this human to choose the one he liked based on his own aesthetic taste. But the three goddesses started to bribe me with benefits."

In an era without fair voting, bribery appeared first.

Blaze wanted to complain, weren't they competing for who was the most beautiful goddess? Why did they start comparing who had more money?

"But in this case, the goddess of beauty Aphrodite should be kicked out, right?" Blaze said.

He is more pragmatic. To be fair, Athena, the goddess of wisdom, and Hera, the queen of heaven, have strong foundations. The power they hold alone can give very powerful blessings.

In order to obtain the false title of "the most beautiful goddess", these two goddesses must be quite generous. In comparison, what can the goddess of beauty Aphrodite give?

The most important thing is that as a human being involved in the dispute between gods, no matter what choice you make, you will offend the other two goddesses, so you must choose someone who can protect yourself from the other two goddesses.

Although Athena was like that, she was dedicated and responsible. Although Hera was like that, she was definitely proud enough.

It doesn't matter which one you choose.

"Puh-puh-puh-the answer is wrong. The goddess of beauty Aphrodite is the final winner."

"How come, what did she give?"

"She promised to the most beautiful woman in the human world."

"..." Blaze covered his face and turned his head away. He shouldn't have any expectations of the Olympian gods and the humans created by the Olympian gods.

"So, what happened next?"

"She gave it to him. When she was on a diplomatic mission to Sparta, one of the most powerful kingdoms at the time, she kidnapped the queen."

"Of course, what happens next?"

"And then she stopped caring, and the war lasted for ten years, and then the gods started a proxy war, and then there were so many casualties that the underworld was almost filled up."

It turns out that she is a goddess with a bad brain.

Chapter 1661: Incomplete, Out-of-Control God

Even though Kullene was thick-skinned, she blushed and felt a little embarrassed when facing Blaze's contemptuous look at this moment.

"Ahem." Kulene coughed twice, intending to fool the man by talking about business, but she had no choice but to talk about business now.

"It's not her fault. When she was born, her head was hit, which made her lack the sense of mission as a god."

"How to say?"

"Take Ishtar as an analogy. She is also a goddess of sexuality and beauty, but she is also a goddess of fertility, and fertility is sacred and great."

"This heavy sense of mission gave her reason and made her aware of her own importance. Her sexual desire was related to whether life would continue to reproduce. Her sexual desire was not due to her own desire."

"But the goddess of beauty Aphrodite did not enjoy the power of childbirth. To be honest, what we lack the least is the power of childbirth. You know, the king of gods... without the sacredness and weight of childbirth, she is just pure sexual desire and love, that is, unrestrained indulgence."

"You should know what that means."

Blaze nodded. If it was just pure sexual desire, the result would only be exhaustion. This was a god whose power was out of control because of his incompleteness.

His expression also became solemn, because this out-of-control god without a sense of mission was the last of the twelve crucial zodiac signs, Pisces.

"That Pisces..."

"When we realized the flaws and incompleteness of the goddess of beauty Aphrodite, the emergency measure we thought of was to let her take the form of Pisces and use her son to make up for her lack of sense of mission in childbearing and give her reason, but..."

Kullene had a complicated expression and sighed softly.

"She screwed up, she lost her son, and caused the Pisces constellation to disintegrate, with only half of it rising into the night sky."

"In the night sky?" Blaze looked down at the tombstone, on which was written information about the night sky.

Kullene spoke up and helped Blaze translate.

"The Four Kings of the Sky refer to the four great king stars in the sky. They also symbolize the four challenges a king needs to face and the four qualities he needs to possess."

Kullene pointed at Blaze.

"Leo Regulus, the heart of a lion, the dignity of a king, and very humble in accepting advice."

"Antares of Scorpio, the heart of the scorpion, the king will face death with his head held high, and will never decay."

"Aldebaran in Taurus, the eyes of Taurus, the king's desire will look further, but he will not lose control because of his desire."

"And Fomalhaut in Pisces Austrinus, the mouth of the Pisces Austrinus. The king's will will continue, passed down from generation to generation, but it cannot be corrupted by indulgence."

"Among the four royal planets, three are related to the twelve constellations, but Pisces Austrinus is not one of them." Blaze exhaled lightly, and more or less understood the reason.

Perhaps this last royal planet, which symbolizes inheritance and continuation, should be in Pisces, but due to the collapse of Pisces, only the goddess of beauty Aphrodite transformed into a fish appeared in the night sky, and the royal planet had no connection with Pisces.

"It's a pity for the goddess of beauty Aphrodite. If she were complete, she could not only become Pisces, but even Aquarius. But that's impossible." Cyrene stepped into the river, walked to Blaze's side, and looked down at the tombstone together.

"If you want to return Pisces, you must first pull down the goddess of beauty Aphrodite who transformed into Pisces in the night sky and vacate the original position of Pisces."

"Fishing in the sea of ​​stars? If my goal right now is to return Pisces, I'll definitely be super excited and shout out "romantic" and then make an oversized fishing rod."

"But now the sky is falling, the salt water Tiamat is invading, and this world might as well cease to exist. How can I be in the mood to solve Pisces's problems?" Blaze crossed his arms, his fingers clenching his arms.

"Although it is written on this tombstone that Pisces can solve the problem of salt water invasion, after listening to your popular science, I am rather skeptical about this matter. How can Pisces solve the invasion of salt water Tiamat?"

"Then..." Kullene tilted her head and suddenly smiled, "How about just thinking that he tricked you?"

"Ha!? Stop kidding..."

"This is not a joke. We are old friends. I know you better than you think." Kullene took a step back to avoid being grabbed by an angry Blaze and used as a stick.

"Even if the material [Remnant of the Sky] is right in front of you, you have no idea how to fill the hole in the sky. All you can do is build a line of defense to suppress the invasion of the salt water Tiamat."

"And you have done so. The Sky Tower can be completed in time, and the foreigners will form an iron wall to resist the invasion of the salt water Tiamat. You have done everything you can do."

"You can't think of anything else to do next except continue to gather your companions and fight to the last drop of your blood."

Blaze was silent, Kullene's words poked him, but he still retorted.

"You said one thing wrong. I didn't think of summoning my companions. They would have gathered on the defense line without my summoning."

Kullene shrugged noncommittally.

"Since you have done everything you can, then you don't mind continuing to do some useless work, just as a gesture of kindness."

"Your casual kindness may be rewarded~ Maybe on the way to return Pisces, a method to deal with the salty sea Tiamat will appear~"

Blaze looked at Kulene who was hinting and inducing, and wanted to punch Kulene in the abdomen to punish Kulene for her mysterious and riddle-like behavior.

But he knew that Cyrene herself had no idea, and even Cyrene, an ancient being from the Age of Gods, doubted more than he did whether Pisces could solve the invasion of salty sea water.

But Kulene couldn't show it. The old man had no choice but to continue to hold on and tell the young people not to give up hope and not to give up any possibility.

To this end, the old guys can pretend to be at ease.

"boom--"

"Ugh--" Kullene's eyes widened dramatically under Blaze's punch, as if they were about to pop out.
