"Darling, do the Fountain of Youth and the Sea Emperor's Trident really exist in this world? Are there really gods?" Selena didn't know why Hao Shuai insisted on posing like that, but she let him be.
"The Fountain of Youth and the Sea Emperor's Trident exist. As for the gods, I think there's probably one," Hao Shuai replied, not entirely sure.
To be honest, Hao Shuai wasn't sure whether Calypso really counted as a god.
If she did...
Hao Shuai had never seen a god this ridiculously weak!
She'd actually been sealed away by a bunch of mortals.
What a disgrace to the gods!
If she didn't...
The movie's story had clearly called her the Sea Goddess, and in the pantheon of ancient Greek mythology, she really was an official deity.
"But if the Sea Emperor's Trident exists, doesn't that mean Sea King Poseidon exists too?" Selena asked worriedly.
As the god of the sea in Greek mythology and one of the three great powers of the Olympian pantheon, Sea King Poseidon's fame had spread far and wide. It was no wonder Selena was concerned.
It wasn't just Selena—even Hao Shuai, as he was now, would be on his knees if he actually faced Poseidon!
In any case, Hao Shuai had already decided that when he went to claim the Sea Emperor's Trident, if Poseidon really showed up, he'd run at once. The trident could go to whoever wanted it!
For now, though, he had to put Selena's mind at ease. "Don't worry! I reckon this world has already entered Ragnarok. The gods are either dead or asleep."
"All right, then." Hao Shuai's reassurance had at least put Selena somewhat at ease.
The Age of Discovery was both the best and the worst of times.
