Myth: The Ruler of Spirituality-Chapter 816 - 304: Roots are Divided into Three Classes_2

Otherwise, how was it killed? Even if it was "plot armor," it still proved Destiny's role within it.

This shows that listing Destiny as one of the four pillars of the world is not without reason.

Thousands of years, tens of thousands of years, from beginning to end, it spans between all things.

It seemed as if its power was not displayed, but in fact, it existed everywhere.

When it needed to, mortals could ascend from the earth to the sky; when it was not needed, those who were favored could be mercilessly discarded.

Thus, Chaos's Mortal Realm War God left the flaw of Achilles' heel, the hero of the fairy tale could not continue his adventure after the story ended, and the dragon slayer of the Nine Realms was "coincidentally" no longer perfect due to being obscured by a leaf, sowing the seeds for future failure.

It is evident that the gifts of Destiny had long been marked with a price in secret.

"Is it really true?"

Unaware that Laine recalled so many things in an instant, even sighing that Destiny was omnipresent, Andrea was just a bit startled.

She thought there were exaggerated tales within, but it turned out to be true... However, if this were the case, then as the King of Athens, she should do something.

"If this is true, a War God defeated by a mortal on the battlefield... hmm, should I find someone to seek him out, promise him land and wealth, and make him my sword?"

Changing her train of thought, Andrea spoke slowly.

Obviously, allowing such a powerful Demigod, who harbored grudges against the Alliance and the Olympian Gods, to remain isolated was unwise. Only by having him join Athens would it benefit both sides.

But to Andrea's surprise, Laine shook his head.

"No need, you won't succeed because he still has his 'tribulation' to endure."

"Although he cleverly gained immense strength while avoiding his fated death tribulation, how could the gifts of Destiny be easily acquired for free?"

"Although I am still unsure of the way he will undergo the tribulation, no matter what, he is destined to go through it."

"Tribulation?"

Andrea softly uttered the word and was silent for a moment.

She did not know why this unfamiliar Demigod needed to go through a tribulation, but it seemed that today's Athens was experiencing the same.

The Western countries were their tribulation, but inversely, perhaps Athens was theirs too.

Thinking of this, to lighten the somber atmosphere, Andrea casually joked, "Well... if it's a tribulation, covering it should bring a reward. Otherwise, wouldn't it be too unfair?"

"If it were him, would he receive a reward?"

The speaker said it casually, not really believing that there would be any reward.

However, once again to Andrea's surprise, Laine nodded.

A reward... perhaps there really was one. After all, this tribulation was no longer merely about one or two people or gods, but the whole world was being dragged into it.

Even for Laine himself, he likely couldn't extricate himself.

"A reward... naturally exists. Much like the warfare between countries, which is a tribulation for both nations, those who overcome it can expand their territories, while those who cannot will meet national ruin and family destruction."

"For Achilles, his tribulation is the same, and it's not just him. Many people of this era are no different."

"However, just like a battle between two countries, the difficulties faced by kings, aristocrats, and soldiers differ, as do the results of victory and defeat."

"In this era, when facing tribulations, the rewards they can reap naturally vary."

"As for the criteria for division... it is based on their Root Level."

Observing Andrea's curious gaze, Laine paused, then spoke meaningfully, "Root Level... or divided into three tiers, it is mostly determined at birth but also influenced by the acquired environment."

"Some are born as Demigods, some as slaves, and these are things that cannot be helped."

"Whether willing or not, the world is as such, and you must accept it. As for the three-tier classification..."

"Among them, the Mortal Realm, human beings with superior Root Level should naturally follow their 'Heavenly' path."

"Like the Ancient Gods of old, as long as the world exists, their authority remains unyielding, outside of Samsara."

"As for those with middle Root Level, they can achieve their 'Human' path."

"Like the All Spirits who worship the gods, requiring the worship of mortals to sit high in the Divine Kingdom. Otherwise, they would ultimately find their domains shattered and lives lost, ending in vanity."

"And for those at the lowest level, it's difficult to achieve much. They may fall to the Lower Realm or revolve in Samsara, with no better fate awaiting them."

Root Level was merely a broad term, essentially referring to the degree of importance Destiny placed on them, a combination of innate talents and acquired achievements, which Andrea understood.

In this era, fairness was not considered important, as the existence of the extraordinary was real; where was fairness to be found then?

"That guy named Achilles..."

"He probably lies between the first two."

For Andrea's inquiry, Laine wasn't entirely sure, just offering a slight guess.

"He bears quite a few destinies on his shoulders..."

"But if he doesn't survive this born-to-be tribulation, then what awaits him will probably only be the second result."

As night deepened, outside the pass of Athens, in a secluded valley, Ares appeared covertly, carrying the Golden Net.

Since acquiring the item, Ares had been relentlessly traveling and surveying the terrain.

Only here did he find a suitable place for an ambush.

He had long understood the mystique of the Golden Net; even if he possessed Divine Power, escaping it would be difficult in a short time, let alone a mere human from the Mortal Realm.

Once ensnared, escape was destined to be impossible.

"Very well... it shall be here; now, I'll wait for him to arrive."

"Damned, I, a Principal God, have actually fallen to the level of using traps to scheme against a human... humph!"

With a cold snort, laying the trap by his own hand, Ares nodded.

Now everything was ready, only the East Wind was lacking.

PS: Seeing so many questions, I might as well respond all at once. As for why I'm responding in the main text, it's naturally because some parts of the author's words may not be visible—cough, those who know, know.

Let's talk about the specific content: Some say Achilles defeating Ares here is a drop in intelligence, forcibly weakening the gods, violating previous logic and setup—Honestly, I can't stand that. I clearly weakened humans for the sake of logic and setup, weakened Achilles, don't get it wrong, the War God wasn't weakened.

Honestly, I've already tried to make Ares, as a Principal God, not look so useless; at least I applied some debuffs and didn't fully unleash his power, which is why he couldn't win. According to the original mythology, he was directly defeated in a head-on battle between armies, then ran back to Olympus to complain to Zeus, saying, "Dad, I suffered terribly out there, if I hadn't escaped quickly, I would've been lying in a heap of corpses enduring pain." Even after escaping, it wasn't over; because he was wounded by a foe's spear, his power was weakened.

Facing such a scenario, what could Zeus say, he too was helpless, directly scolded, "You stupid fool, don't cry in front of me, you're such a useless God, if it weren't for you being my son, I'd have dealt with you already." Hence, Ares fighting on the battlefield, unable to withstand even three moves, is already an enhanced result under this book's logic. I tried hard to find him a reason to win but found none.

As a side note, do you know why the War God, who was pulverized by a transformation earlier, is now the unlucky one again, it's because I wanted to somewhat salvage the dignity of the gods, not appear so useless.

Just that, other gods at least rarely compared their combat power directly with mortals according to myth, at most getting overthrown by Hercules, but Ares is different. Later, I thought, since you're already so miserable, just continue being unlucky, so other gods won't have to suffer along with you. Therefore, it ended like this, laugh.

In summary, let the War God go, he's just inept, no alternatives.
