Wang Hao's plan was excellent, but unfortunately, Athena, the reincarnation of the Drought Demon's true spirit, possessed exceptional intelligence and shrewdness, and naturally wouldn't believe Wang Hao's one-sided story.
Even though she did have a mysterious connection with the Drought Demon and was basically certain that it was her past life, she would not rashly merge with her past life's body.
After all, this person's origins are unknown; who knows if he's friend or foe, or if he left any tricks within the Drought Demon's body to plot against me?
All of this must be done with utmost care!
Athena glanced at the Drought Demon, which was still struggling and trapped in place, and thought for a moment. She then took out a sacred coffin and sealed the Drought Demon inside, planning to study it later when she had time.
"What brings Your Excellency to Athens? If there is anything I can do to help, I will certainly not refuse."
After scrutinizing Wang Hao, who sat imposingly by the window, Athena cautiously inquired, while pondering his true intentions.
The other party couldn't have just come for a casual stroll, especially since they were carrying what might be my past life's body; they must have some ulterior motive.
Even Athena vaguely guessed that the other party was not from their Divine Dao Great World, but either from the Martial Dao Great World or the Mystic Dao Great World.
This is quite alarming. You should know that their Divine Dao Great World has always been self-isolated. Apart from the Ancestral God Ancestral God of the other two great worlds communicating in the Supreme Dao Domain, the lower pantheons have basically never gone to the other two great worlds, and almost no one has come to their Divine Dao Great World.
But now, such a powerful figure has arrived, and at this sensitive time, which makes her think twice.
"I came here for two reasons: first, to see you, my wife; and second, to investigate the anomalies in your world after the cataclysmic changes, and hopefully, to find the relics of the Titan ancestral god."
Wang Hao didn't hide anything from her, and spoke frankly about it. There was nothing to hide anyway, especially since the woman in front of him was his wife.
As for the Titan Ancestral God he mentioned, it is the Titan Ancestral God, one of the five supreme Dao Ancestors. Unlike the Xuan Dao Great World and the Martial Dao Great World, the Divine Dao Great World has its own independent system.
The Dao Ancestor is known as the Ancestral God, the founder of a pantheon of civilization.
Those who reach the Heavenly Dao Realm are revered as Major God, while those who reach the Primordial Unity Realm are considered deities. As for the God King of Great God, such as Zeus, the God King of the Olympian Pantheon, they do not represent a realm but rather a title of honor. Although their strength is greater than that of other Major God, it is still limited.
"You, too, are here for Pandora's Box left behind by the Titan ancestor!"
Athena's bright pupils contracted sharply; she was almost certain that this person had come for their ultimate goal.
"Pandora's Box? It seems the Titan ancestor did have a daughter named Pandora. What does that have to do with the Pandora's Box you're talking about?"
Wang Hao seemed to be deep in thought. On his way to Athens, he had encountered many powerful figures, and he had used his soul-searching technique on all of them to learn a lot of secrets about the Divine Dao Great World from their memories.
Among them is the Titan ancestor god, whose bloodline descendants are numerous, and who even founded the Titan race.
One of the Titan ancestral gods had a daughter named Pandora, who was a powerful being at the level of an ancestral god.
The Pandora's Box that Athena spoke of must be related to the Ancestor God Pandora, but the nature of that relationship is unknown.
"Your Excellency, Pandora's Box is a treasure that the Ancestor God Pandora placed into the Great World of the Ancestral God before the cataclysmic change. It is said to contain supreme power, and whoever obtains it can inherit the power of the Ancestor God Pandora and become Ancestral God."
However, Pandora's Box only lasted for a short time during the cataclysmic events before mysteriously disappearing. According to our speculation, a divine war must be initiated to obtain the treasures of the Titan ancestors in order to potentially bring out the hidden Pandora's Box.
After a moment's thought, Athena smiled Yanran revealed what she knew, clearly intending to use Wang Hao.
After all, this is a powerful being at the Ancestral God level. With his help, he will surely be able to turn the tide, even win the final battle of the gods, retrieve the treasure left behind by the Titan Ancestral God, and then trigger Pandora's Box to become a new generation of Ancestral God.
This is an opportunity not to be missed.
"Wait a minute, how did this involve another treasure of the Titan ancestor?"
Wang Hao frowned, sensing that the problems in this Divine Dao Great World seemed to be more troublesome.
He wasn't afraid of trouble, but the problem was that his time was limited. To figure out the secrets of the Divine Dao Great World, he would have to go to the Supreme Dao Domain, where he didn't know how long it would take!
Finally, he still had to prepare for the final battle with Hongjun, so he really didn't have much time to waste in the Divine Dao Great World.
"The Titan ancestor integrated his supreme treasure, the Scepter of Creation, into our world. Legend has it that the Scepter of Creation will only reappear when all the gods have perished."
The Scepter of Creation was once controlled by the Ancestor God Pandora, so whoever obtains the Scepter of Creation will definitely be able to unlock Pandora's Box.
Athena patiently explained, while secretly plotting how to persuade this guy to do things for her.
"I have no interest in the power of the Ancestral God within Pandora's Box. I only need to know its secrets. However, I won't stay in your world for long, at most a hundred years. You need to find a way to start and end the war of gods as soon as possible."
After a moment's thought, Wang Hao stated his bottom line directly.
He can stay here for a maximum of one hundred years, after which he must go to the Supreme Dao Domain to find the ultimate secret.
"Century!"
Athena's heart sank. The time was far too tight. If she had ten thousand years, she could end the war of the gods and finally obtain the Scepter of Creation and Pandora's Box. But with only a hundred years, she was already overwhelmed.
Most importantly, the warriors she has prepared for the God War are not ready. If she rashly starts the God War, she will inevitably be attacked by the masses and will surely perish.
This is not what she wanted!
Tell me the rules of the God Wars!
Seeing Athena's dilemma, Wang Hao spoke up.
He's not afraid of problems; he'll solve them. With his current strength, sweeping through the entire Divine Dao Great World wouldn't be a problem.
After all, he has now completed the stage of sneaky development and can now show off to his heart's content.
But as Athena revealed the rules of the divine war, he felt completely unwell.
Is Gods War really this bad?
Rubbing his forehead, Wang Hao hadn't expected the God War in the Divine Dao Great World to be so unfair, with only warriors under the command of their respective Major God qualified to participate.
It is said that this is a rule established by the Titan ancestral gods, which cannot be violated, and only by following this rule of divine war can one obtain the Scepter of Creation.
Faced with rules set by a supreme expert at the Half-Step Dao Realm, even he wasn't confident he could bypass them and directly obtain the Scepter of Creation. Therefore, he could only obediently play by the rules set by the other party.
Athena, on the other hand, had prepared warriors to participate in the divine war, but before they could truly complete their preparations, they encountered the Age Without Dao, and their cultivation could not be improved.
The highest cultivation level among the fighters nowadays is only the Middle Heavenly Dao Realm, while the rest are all at the Heavenly Dao Realm Early Stage.
In the Age Without Dao, the combat power of this level has long since fallen below the Heavenly Dao Realm, and the strength they can exert is comparable to that of a former Primordial Unity Realm cultivator.
In comparison, the warrior lineups under the other main war Major God of the Olympian Pantheon are far more splendid. Among them, the Heavenly Warrior under the God King Zeus are all at the Peak Heavenly Dao Realm, possessing unparalleled combat power.
Athena's warrior lineup, while not the worst, was not much better, and she was even forced to recruit from outside, eventually bringing in Kratos Ghost of Sparta, a powerful expert at the Peak Heavenly Dao Realm.
Based on Athena's existing resources, Wang Hao silently calculated that it was obvious that if Athena wanted to rely on herself to lead the end of the divine war within a hundred years, she would inevitably become the target of everyone's attacks, besieged by the many Major God of the Olympian Pantheon and even other pantheons.
Athena's current resources are clearly insufficient to withstand the strain; she needs to be significantly enhanced. Fortunately, Wang Hao is quite skilled in this area.
"Your Major God's divine authority does indeed enhance his strength considerably. Even under the influence of the current Age Without Dao, he can unleash combat power comparable to the Middle Heavenly Dao Realm the Heavenly Change. Relying on his warriors to defeat these gods is unrealistic with your current strength."
Wang Hao briefly analyzed that this was laying the groundwork for the upcoming transformative changes, but before he could continue, Athena interrupted him.
"Your Excellency, that's not all. We cultivators of the Divine Dao can obtain enhancements in three aspects: the Divine Kingdom, Divine Office, and Divine Artifacts. The degree of enhancement varies depending on the level of the Divine Kingdom, Divine Office, and Divine Artifacts."
According to my calculations, Zeus, the God King, who now rules over the entire Olympus Divine Mountain, should be no weaker than his peak strength before the cataclysmic upheaval.
Although interrupting someone is very impolite, she had to make these points clear to avoid influencing the other person to make a wrong judgment, which could be very serious.
"So troublesome!"
Unable to resist scratching his head again, Wang Hao immediately rejected the reform plan he had previously devised and prepared to implement a stronger and more powerful reform plan.
" Kratos, I heard about you on my way here. I heard that you were plotted against by the God of War and your whole family was killed. Later, you were betrayed and abandoned by the Olympian Pantheon, which wanted to destroy Olympus."
You should know that with your current strength, you have no chance of succeeding alone, and even if you obtain the Sacred Flame, your chances of winning are slim. I have a completely new Body Refinement here; I wonder if you dare to give it a try?"
After pondering for a long time, Wang Hao silently completed the deduction of the new cheat in his mind, and looked up at Kratos, the Ghost of Sparta who had been silent all along.
He was no stranger to Kratos. Although he hadn't played the God of War series of games, he had seen some of the movie episodes and knew that Kratos was a Ruthless. According to the storyline, this Ruthless had slaughtered everyone in the entire Olympian Pantheon.
Although the new Body Refinement he had just deduced was very powerful, it had not yet been put into practice and needed a powerful Xiao Bai as a test subject, and Kratos in front of him was a good choice.
First of all, this guy comes from the true warrior nation of Sparta, and is the most elite warrior of Sparta's era, with unparalleled combat talent and experience.
Using this as the guiding principle can greatly help in perfecting the flaws of the new Body Refinement and significantly shorten the time required for improvement.
"The word 'dare' doesn't exist in the Sparta dictionary!"
Kratos, true to his reputation as a Ruthless, didn't even ask Wang Hao about his specific Body Refinement before readily agreeing.
He is now a pure avenger, and revenge requires great power. He is willing to pay any price to help him achieve his revenge.
