The key question was: who exactly was the one who told them to come to Great Xia? Who was the person who sent them the message? Finding that person might lead us to the one behind it all.
But it seemed even Hera did not know who that person was.
I could not help asking, "Then tell me, what exactly do you still lack to resurrect Zeus? Why did you have to come to Great Xia, and why did you have to find the person who once severely wounded Zeus?"
Hera sighed. "Sacred God's Blood. Zeus originally left himself a small vial of Sacred God's Blood, enough for his resurrection. But later, the Sacred God's Blood vanished without explanation. Over this, I turned Mount Olympus upside down and severely punished the gods who had guarded the Sacred God's Blood, but I still could not recover it."
I frowned. Even if they had lost the Sacred God's Blood, there was nothing I could do about it. Where was I supposed to find Sacred God's Blood for them? I did not even know what Sacred God's Blood was.
When Hera heard me ask what Sacred God's Blood was, she said it was blood left behind by the Gods of War of ancient times. Not every ancient god could be called a God of War. Those truly worthy of that title and possessing Sacred God's Blood were exceedingly rare. In Great Xia, they knew of only one god with such blood.
That was Chi You, and the blood they wanted from me was Chi You's Blood.
My eyes widened. So after all that, they really had come for me.
I knew full well that Chi You's Blood was indeed in my body, but even I had no idea how it had gotten there.
