The man in front of her was none other than Morpheus, the god of sleep whom Qi Zhen had seen in her dreams in the city of Athens.
Only Qi Zhen had actually met the dream god, and the others were naturally unaware of the previous interactions between the two, and were confused by the familiarity between the two.
Qi Zhen turned to her teammates and introduced the god who specializes in anthropomorphic dreams. Everyone in the team greeted him politely.
"Ah! I remembered that there is something else at home. If you don't have anything else to do, I will leave first." Morpheus said suddenly.
"Don't come here, I asked you to come because I have something to ask of you." Qi Zhen said angrily.
"Can you just ignore it..." Morpheus said pitifully.
"Are you so afraid of Zeus?" Qi Zhen asked.
"Of course! That's the Lord of the Gods!" Morpheus's voice rose an octave.
"Why? Did you sleep with his mistress?" Wang Jianguo said.
"You can't talk nonsense." Morpheus waved his hands repeatedly, and then told the team the biggest reason why he did not dare to accept the request.
His family has a deep-seated fear of the gods of the Olympus pantheon, which started when Hera used Hypnos to hypnotize Zeus and was hunted down by Zeus until he entered the underworld.
And this is also the key reason why his family of Mengyao Clan will never appear in front of the world.
"My family is usually unwilling to participate in the disputes between the gods, because no matter what the final outcome of their disputes, it seems that we always have a bad ending in the end. Hey, if I had known that you had killed Hermes, I would have killed him. You won't come here." Morpheus said with a miserable look on his face.
"Have you never thought about taking revenge on the gods of Olympus?" Qi Zhen also tried to be tempting.
"No!" Morpheus said decisively, shaking his head like a rattle.
"Good guy, I'm afraid of being beaten by the gods." Wang Jianguo sighed.
"I do." A voice suddenly came from the void.
Qi Zhen looked shocked.
In his dream, someone could actually appear in his dream without his permission, and he was unaware of it. This completely shattered the self-confidence that Qi Zhen had just built up.
When Morpheus heard this voice, there was a hint of respect on his face.
"Father God," he whispered.
A naked man suddenly appeared in front of the team.
This man has wings on his back, and he is always surrounded by gloomy black. Although his wings are white, they look a bit gloomy against the surrounding black.
It was the purest black, darker than the night in Qi Zhen's dream, as if it could swallow everything.
The man's face was covered with beard, and he looked very gloomy. A strange aura suddenly filled the place, making everyone feel awe-inspiring.
As the controller of the dream, Qi Zhen's feeling is even more obvious. The other party's position is like an abyss, and the black hole-like attraction seems to swallow the dream completely.
"Hello mortals from afar, I am Hypnos, the God of Sleep." His voice was a little low, sounding like the whisper of a demon.
Qi Zhen bowed and saluted, and she and Morpheus could still laugh and joke for the time being.
His temperament is unpredictable, and his strength is bottomless. He doesn't want to challenge the opponent's majesty.
"Dear God of Sleep, please help us enter the underworld." Qi Zhen said her request directly.
As long as the other party appears here, it means that he is at least interested in everyone in the team.
"Well..." Hypnos pondered for a moment, "Why are you going to the underworld?"
"Go find the Holy Sword of Olympus." Qi Zhen replied bluntly.
This time, Hypnos frowned upon hearing this.
Morpheus looked even more shocked.
This was the first time he heard about the true purpose of the team's trip.
"What are you looking for him for?" Hypnos asked next.
"Kill Zeus." Qi Zhen said matter-of-factly.
Morpheus was numb with shock and muttered: "Crazy, crazy, really crazy."
Hypnos was not surprised by this answer. He then asked: "Who told you that the Sword of Olympus is in the underworld?"
"Athena." Qi Zhen replied.
When Hypnos heard this name, a smile of unknown meaning appeared on his face.
"Who told you that the Sword of Olympus is in the underworld?"
Almost two identical sentences, but they represent completely different meanings.
Qi Zhen understood, so she frowned: "Isn't it?"
Hypnos shook his head and replied simply: "No."
He continued: "With such an artifact that can kill him, how could he allow it to be placed next to his biological brother who has always wanted to rebel against him?"
Qi Zhen knew that the "he" he was talking about was the God King Zeus.
Indeed, with Zeus's character, if the Olympus Sword really existed, he would probably protect it in the best possible way, and even keep it with him forever, and no one would want to touch it.
"How did you know where the Sword of Olympus is?" Qi Zhen suddenly asked in confusion.
"Because the Sword of Olympus was originally controlled by my mother." Hypnos said matter-of-factly.
Nyx, the goddess of the night, is one of the original Greek gods. As the daughter of Chaos, the god of chaos, her seniority is equivalent to Gaia, the mother of the earth, and she is terrifyingly tall.
When it comes to Nyx, Purmus can't help but have a hint of reverence and pride on his face. It seems that he also has a considerable degree of admiration for his grandmother.
"Doesn't this mean that Morpheus is at least of the same generation as Zeus?" Sun Jie said suddenly.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Morpheus with a slightly different expression. They felt that this identity was obviously completely incompatible with the Dream God who had just been laughing and scolding Qi Zhen.
"Brother, can you show some dignity in the future?" Qi Zhen patted Morpheus on the shoulder with an angry look on his face.
Morpheus's expression was somewhat resentful.
Hypnos roughly told everyone in the team about the relationship between his family line and the Sword of Olympus, and it was only at this time that everyone in the team understood the origin of the Sword of Olympus.
The Sword of Olympus was not called this name, and even when it was first created, the gods did not all live on Mount Olympus.
Chaos, the god of chaos, as the original god, gave birth to Nyx, the goddess of night, Tartarus, the body of hell, Gaia, the earth goddess, and Eros, the god of love.
The world begins here.
However, in addition to giving birth to gods, the God of Chaos also condensed the essence of heaven and earth into a stone. This stone contains the divine power left behind by Chaos after he created the god. It itself has the same origin as the gods. From another perspective It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the ancestor of all existing gods, but this stone was not given godhood by Chaos and has always been preserved in Chaos.
Until the above-ground world and the underground world are connected, the sky, the earth, and the underground world cannot form an organic whole. As a result, the creatures on the ground cannot be born and the environment cannot survive.
So at the connection point between the three, Chaos threw down the stone to stabilize the passage.
And here is the area jointly controlled by Nyx, the goddess of the night at that time, and her husband Erebus.
Contrary to what the world imagines, the three enemies in the sky, underground, and underground are not connected up and down, but are three intersecting circles.
Nyx governs the intersection of the sky and the earth, while Erebos governs the area between the above world and the underworld.
At the intersection of the three, Nyx and Erebus, two extremely primitive gods, transformed this stone containing the power of chaos into a divine sword, which later became the Sword of Olympus.
"Isn't this the Dinghai Divine Needle?" Wang Jianguo said.
When everyone thought about it, it seemed that it was really that interesting.
Later, the Titan God System and the Olympus God System continued to develop, and the Titan War was launched in order to compete for power. The change of power could not affect the stability of the Three Realms Path.
However, one day, the war between the Titan Gods and the Olympus Gods finally spread here, and naturally someone discovered this terrifying sword.
So there were rumors that whoever could obtain this divine sword would be able to control supreme power forever.
"The final result was that both sides sent a considerable number of gods to compete for the sword. Then my mother got a little annoyed, so she took the divine sword and killed all the gods who came, and she only used one sword." Xiu. Punos said.
The team was stunned.
"So the reason why the Titan War ended was not because the Olympus pantheon won?" Qi Zhen said in shock.
"Hmm... Actually, that's true. Maybe my mother didn't screen carefully. That sword killed too many Titans, so naturally the Titan God could no longer compete with the Olympus God." Hypnos said.
Qi Zhen didn't know what to say.
The later story was much simpler. Zeus still respected Nyx and Erebus, and did not dare to have the slightest attempt on the divine sword. Zeus shamelessly named this divine sword the Sword of Olympus. , probably to show goodwill and to demonstrate the legitimacy of the Olympus pantheon.
"Morpheus is right about what he said. As a primitive god who has existed for countless thousands of years, neither my parents nor the Mengyan god system in my family are interested in the battle between the gods." Xiu Punos said, "But the Olympian god has gone too far over the years."
There was no obvious tone in his words, but Qi Zhen felt cold in her heart.
"My mother probably doesn't care about these things, but I don't think so." Hypnos said, "This may explain why I want to help you."
Qi Zhen nodded and said, "Then how should we get to that place?"
