The Beautiful God Is the Treasure of the World, Not Allowed to Monopolize [ Greek Mythology ] - Chapter 1

At the bottom of the deep and distant sea, a two-meter-long, jade-white shell lay quietly.

 

A gentle wave floated up, and it gently opened its shell.

 

A beautiful deity with snow-white skin and silver hair, whose gender was difficult to distinguish, nestled inside, holding a square crystal as dazzling as a diamond, overflowing with iridescent fire.

 

He slowly opened his eyes, his light purple eyes as mysterious and elegant as violets.

 

The square crystal, tightly held in his palm, slowly floated up and drifted into the space between his eyebrows.

 

In that instant, there was a moment of confusion in his eyes, which was then replaced by wisdom and peace.

 

He knew his name and origin.

 

——The god in charge of love and desire, his name is Aphrodite.

 

That colorful, square crystal is his divinity.

 

Countless knowledge poured into his mind. Although he had not yet fully understood it, he could now be considered a learned and all-knowing being.

 

He stood up, his body asexual.

 

Taking a step forward, white light enveloped him, transforming into full, rounded curves.

 

——The instinct of his divine office was to create a female body for him.

 

However, the next second, a brilliant light flew out from his divinity, directly breaking the white light. Then, a five-colored light replaced the white light, enveloping him.

 

When the dazzling light disappeared, what appeared in its place was a handsome god with a slender and graceful figure, long legs, a thin waist, and every part perfect to the extreme.

 

He had long silver hair, light pink lips, a high, straight nose, and light purple eyes that were beautiful and passionate.

 

God or goddess was just a change of gender for him. His beauty remained undiminished, and the androgynous characteristic added a bit of bewitching power to him.

 

Aphrodite lowered his head, opened his arms, and looked at his body. A trace of incomprehension appeared in his eyes, and he murmured to himself, asking the divinity that had forcibly changed his gender: “Why did you turn me into a god?”

 

A cold but majestic voice came from his divinity, it said:

 

[This world respects men. To become the most powerful primordial god, becoming a man will help you more.]

 

“Primordial god?” Aphrodite said softly, as he searched his mind for knowledge about primordial gods.

 

But this was a superfluous action, because in the next second, the divinity had already begun to tell the story itself.

 

[The origin of this world is composed of five parts: darkness, night, abyss, earth, and eros.

 

When the world was formed, these five original sources also descended into the world in the form of divinity.

 

They condensed bodies for themselves and transformed into five gods, who controlled the most fundamental and powerful forces in this world.

 

They are called primordial gods, and they are the supreme beings in this world.

 

The primordial god in charge of love and desire has fallen. You are the second god after him who can control love and desire.

 

If you choose to become a goddess, then you will become a breeding ground for the primordial gods and forever lose the qualification to be promoted to a primordial god, understand?]

 

“Breeding ground…” Aphrodite frowned, feeling a little uncomfortable because of this word.

 

The voice in the divinity did not stop because of this, and continued:

 

[You are a god enlightened by me, living in this world but detached from the laws. You have the power not to follow the laws and destiny.]

 

[After stepping out of this sea area, Aphrodite, your existence will be known to the gods.

 

Go ahead, Aphrodite, you must become the most powerful primordial god, let your name be sung by the gods, and become the god of gods.]

 

God of gods? That sounds so wonderful.

 

But… Aphrodite said: “But I don’t think my power is that strong. Will you help me?”

 

The voice said coldly: [No, and I will leave you later. Only when you have the power to be promoted to a primordial god will I appear again to help you succeed in your promotion.]

 

[But before leaving, I can give you a gift.]

 

Aphrodite was a little disappointed to learn that this great and unknown being would not protect him, but he was not sad.

 

When he heard that he was going to leave him a gift, a hint of curiosity appeared in his eyes.

 

That voice no longer sounded, but many familiar and unfamiliar memories appeared in Aphrodite’s mind.

 

In the memory, he transformed into an elegant and beautiful goddess, and was welcomed into the Olympus Divine Mountain by the gods headed by Zeus.

 

She had the name of a main god, but not the power of a main god. She always wandered between the beds of the gods, thinking that she had the honor of a main god, but after offending the Queen of Heaven Hera, she was helplessly married to the ugliest god.

 

Then, as a breeding ground, she gave birth to the incarnation of the primordial god of love and desire, the little god Eros.

 

She seemed to have everything, but she had nothing. Finally, the twilight of the gods came, and she also entered the eternal darkness with the gods.

 

From then on, she slept forever.

 

After reading the memory, Aphrodite’s expression was indifferent, and a trace of dissatisfaction floated in the depths of his eyes. As the one in charge of desire, he did not have much opinion on Aphrodite’s indulgent life, but…

 

Aphrodite murmured softly: “This is really a stupid, pitiful and sad divine life.”

 

“She is clearly a god in charge of love and desire, but she doesn’t know how to use this power to spy on the desires of the gods and thus control the gods. Instead, she gets lost in desire and becomes a slave to love and desire.”

 

Aphrodite shook his head, throwing all the experiences of the female love god out of his mind, leaving only some useful memories.

 

Then, he swam out of the dark and deep sea, riding the joyful and encouraging waves. The cold seawater poured over him, turning into simple and plain robes to wrap his body.

 

The first creature to see him was a dolphin that had left its group. The little guy was scurrying around in the sea and crashed into Aphrodite’s arms, who was about to break through the waves.

 

The ignorant little dolphin raised its head, and Aphrodite’s exquisite and beautiful face crashed into its eyes.

 

[I don’t know how to describe your beauty——

 

Your skin is the perennial ice crystals on the snow-capped mountains, crystal clear;

 

Your hair is the eternal moonlight under the dark night, pure white and holy;

 

The distant mountains have become your eyebrows, the orchids have become your eyes, and the light pink peach blossoms to the dark red roses have become different colors to decorate your lips;

O God in front of me, when I first saw you, I finally knew what beauty is.]

 

A trace of surprise appeared in Aphrodite’s eyes. He heard the heart of this dolphin. Did she in the memory have such power?

 

But what is this dolphin saying…

 

Aphrodite rubbed his earlobes uncomfortably, and a faint blush appeared on his cheeks, adding a bit of charm to his exquisite and stunning face.

 

Then Aphrodite saw that the little dolphin in his arms was rubbing frantically on Aphrodite’s arm as if it had been hit by the magic of a golden belt.

 

Aphrodite was speechless, but he ignored this little dolphin who was randomly in heat.

 

Because after the little dolphin read out its heartfelt praise, Aphrodite felt countless gazes falling on him in the dark.

 

Those gazes may be the deep sea, or the mountains, or the sky and white clouds.

 

Countless, countless gazes gathered on him, forming the will of the world.

 

Aphrodite heard an ethereal call from afar, they were saying——

 

Look! There is a newborn god, he is so, so beautiful!

 

[I like his divinity the most, it’s bright and colorful.]

 

[I like his eyes the most, they sparkle with wisdom.]

 

[I like his physique the most, it is the most perfect proportion in the world.]

 

[He is so, so beautiful!]

 

Countless exclamations and praises surrounded Aphrodite, and their sincere praise condensed into a golden crown.

 

The crown fell on Aphrodite’s head, shining with a dazzling golden light.

 

Aphrodite gently stroked the crown on his head and knew its origin.

 

It is not only a crown, but also the divinity of the god of beauty.

 

When the eyes of the whole world were focused on him, his beauty deservedly captured the world.

 

So, the world crowned him, and the divinity of the god of beauty came into being and turned into his crown.

 

Aphrodite was not proud of the world’s favor. He kept his mission in mind, not to become the most beautiful god, but to become the most powerful god.

 

Rather than becoming the god of beauty, he cared more about the divinity of the god of beauty.

 

Aphrodite said softly: “I didn’t have the divinity of the god of beauty, because I was just born, and the world didn’t notice my existence. But after this little dolphin discovered me, I was known to the world, and then the world recognized my appearance and gave me the divinity of the god of beauty.”

 

“So, as long as I get the approval of a certain power, can I get the divinity of that power?”

 

Aphrodite thought seriously, and after a while, he got a regrettable answer: “No, it’s not that simple. At least, it’s hard for me to get involved in the divinity that already has an owner, unless I kill a god. But in the divine realm, killing a god is a sinful act. As for those divinities that have no owner, I can try to find a chance.”

 

After thinking about these things, Aphrodite’s eyes fell on the little dolphin.

 

This little guy has limited wisdom and can’t realize what he is doing at all. He just follows his instinctive reaction and keeps snuggling up to Aphrodite.

 

After thinking about it, Aphrodite said: “Although the divinity of the god of beauty has no combat power, it has great potential and is also of the main god rank. This little guy acted as a medium to guide the appearance of my divinity of the god of beauty, maybe I can take it with me.”

 

Aphrodite stared at the little dolphin carefully for a moment. As the god of beauty, he would not despise the creatures of the world because of extreme beauty.

 

On the contrary, he has eyes that discover beauty. Every beautiful quality of appearance, heart, and temperament can attract his attention.

 

Aphrodite gently touched the little dolphin’s snout and thought: “Actually, you are quite cute.”

 

——If you don’t keep hugging my arm and being in heat.

 

Aphrodite thought that if he took this little dolphin with him, he might not be able to accept this little dolphin grinding against him all the time.

 

So he used the divinity of love and desire and separated a divine office of sexuality. The divine office of sexuality condensed into a nail-sized rhombus crystal divinity and poured into the space between the little dolphin’s eyebrows.

 

Light blue halos flickered, and a naked youth appeared in place.

 

He had sea-blue hair and sea-blue eyes, and his body was also very beautiful, but not as slender, powerful, and perfect as Aphrodite’s, but full of softness.

 

Because he had been held in Aphrodite’s arms when he was a dolphin, he was still held in Aphrodite’s arms after he transformed into a divine body.

 

The divine office of sexuality and the instinct of the dolphin influenced him together. As soon as the youth appeared, he hugged Aphrodite’s shoulders and clung to Aphrodite. He raised his head slightly, and his light pink lips licked the corner of Aphrodite’s lips gently, softly and sweetly, restrained by the awe of the god.

 

The youth raised his head, his eyes full of love and fascination, looking at Aphrodite intently, reluctant to look away even for a moment.

 

His voice, mixed with awe, thirst, and reverence, sounded, begging his superior god: “My noble master, respected Lord Aphrodite, thank you for giving me, a humble being, the power of a god. Here, your humble follower presumptuously asks you, can I be fortunate enough to receive your favor and be loved by you?”

 

The cold god of love and desire, Aphrodite, had just been born and was tightly entangled by this soft and beautiful youth. Faced with this situation, he, who did not have much experience, felt uncomfortable for a moment.

 

He felt that he might have done something wrong…
