Chapter 580 - 71: The Messenger
Artemis suddenly realized.
Why was Shen Fei able to think of connecting [Fertility] and [Moon] together?
Moreover, she found out that Shen Fei actually knew that the firstborn son of the Macedonian Kingdom was destined to be a pivotal figure.
Perhaps Shen Fei wasn’t aware of it, but many powerful demigods had similar perceptions.
If he were a descendant of some old god, it might be possible.
Could it be that he is the offspring of Selene’s former enemy, hence wanting to help me elevate the [Moon] rank?
Shen Fei naturally didn’t know that Artemis already considered him a descendant of some old god, but after Shen Fei ascended to Tier Six, several connections mysteriously appeared.
As expected, only by raising his strength could he sense the Saintess and others, but the connections were still somewhat vague, at least the connection with Little Pu was also very vague.
Shen Fei felt reassured, as long as Little Pu and the others could sense him, they would naturally find him, it was just a matter of time.
"From now on, this matter will be left to you to handle, try every means to stop them."
Previously, Artemis thought that even Zeus could not defy the prophecy of Laxsis.
But if it were those old gods, they might be capable.
Since it’s very likely that a Titan is involved, she handed this matter to Shen Fei, perhaps unexpected results may occur.
"My God, since you know this matter has to do with Ares, can’t you stop him?"
Shen Fei asked curiously, in his view, Artemis already knew someone was causing trouble behind the scenes.
Artemis wasn’t a weak god either.
Besides, she wasn’t alone.
Her brother Apollo was also a powerful god, one who could even openly oppose Ares.
Artemis now suspected that Shen Fei might be a Son of Titan, thinking that in the future she might still need his help.
She spoke, "I knew about the temple being destroyed a long time ago, it was Laxsis’s prophecy to me.
The prophecy of the God of Destiny cannot be defied even by the Divine King, even if you stop it, another event will lead to the prophesied outcome."
"Just like the birth of Athena."
Shen Fei frowned secretly, this showed that the power and laws, even the ’Dao’, mastered by the God of Destiny surpassed those of the other gods.
The so-called inability to defy fate was nothing but the God of Destiny being superior to the other gods.
Yet in this case, not even Zeus could stop it.
This made it even more troublesome.
Artemis seemed to understand the trouble she was throwing at Shen Fei, her expression showed guilt, and she said, "From now on, everything you do will be my divine oracle.
As long as it’s not too excessive, you need not ask me, I will send my messenger to assist you."
"It is my duty to alleviate the burdens of my God!"
If it were before, Shen Fei would’ve just given up.
Even if his current Tier Six strength was trash compared to many divine spirits, he could only wait for the temple to burn and then return after the task failed.
But now, being able to connect with Little Pu and the others was a different matter.
"My God, my current strength is still insufficient to relieve your burdens. Can you help raise my strength further?"
Shen Fei asked without reservation.
Artemis shook her head, but she found that Shen Fei seemed unaware that this power already existed within him, and she had only unlocked a part of it.
She explained, "The mortal limit is thus, only reaching the demigod level.
Unless you yourself are a demigod, like Hercules, who completed the trials.
For him to become a god, that was a gift from Father God, even if I could give you divine power."
"Please, my God, grant me the trial task."
Artemis took a deep breath, thinking that this was a good way to verify whether Shen Fei was related to the old gods.
The next moment.
Artemis crossed her hands and placed them on her chest, murmuring, "In the name of the Hunting God, Fertility God, Protector of the Forests, and Moon God, I bestow upon this warrior a divine trial."
"The War Bull will grant him the power of a hundred battles!"
"The deaths of Charybdis and Scylla will grant him mastery of storm magic!"
"The defeat of Cerberus will grant him the power to revive the dead!"
"Immersion in the Nether River will bestow upon him an indestructible body!"
When Artemis wanted to continue, she found herself unable to speak further.
This indicated that the power she could truly bestow had reached its limit.
She was not Father God Zeus, capable of raising a demigod directly to a divine spirit.
Four beams of light descended into Shen Fei’s body, and instantly a prompt emerged in Shen Fei’s mind.
[Task: Artemis’s Trial - Bull Slayer]
[Task Requirement: Slay Ares’s mount, the War Bull (0/1)]
[Task Reward: Unlock Tier Seven Warrior Profession Strength]
"Alright, go complete this divine trial. Your strength will see significant improvement."
Artemis was now certain, Shen Fei was definitely the descendant of some old god, otherwise a mortal’s strength could at most reach Tier Six.
This was, after all, the limit of mortals.
After all, mortals were created by Athena and others.
Even if a part of Zeus’s divine power was within them, it couldn’t bear a stronger power.
"This is my messenger, Iphigenia. She will assist you in this task."
At this moment, a figure appeared before Shen Fei, causing him to pause.
The figure on the other side was also stunned, opening her mouth but forcibly holding it shut, suppressing the word ’master’ that almost came out.
"Divine One."
Iphigenia respectfully greeted Artemis.
The exchange between Artemis and Shen Fei was naturally observed by Artemis.
Artemis slightly frowned, "Do you two know each other?"
"Iphigenia, the eldest daughter of the King of Mycenae Agamemnon and Clytemnestra, saved by my God back then.
I was only surprised that she’s still alive."
Artemis smiled, "I admired her courage, so she became my messenger. She will enjoy an inexhaustible lifespan."
"The benevolence of my God is like the moon at night, lacking the brilliance of the sun, yet continuously illuminating countless maidens."
Shen Fei’s flattery struck right at Artemis’s heart, praising both her divine authority and a quality in a single sentence.
"From now on, she will assist you, and also supervise you. She will represent me in the mortal world." Artemis said, "Every time you complete a trial, I will bestow more power upon you."
"Understood."
Shen Fei nodded in agreement as Artemis disappeared from their sight, and only then did Shen Fei truly look at Iphigenia, or rather the Moon God.
"With the light of my God illuminating this place, under the watchful eyes of the God, we should work together in unity."
"All for my God."
The Moon God nodded, indicating that the master was suggesting Artemis’s gaze might still be upon them here.
