Manda looked at the old goat blankly.


    Gaia is mortal? This sentence is beyond his comprehension.


    Pan didn''t intend to explain any more because he couldn''t explain some things clearly.


    "The distance between Gaia and me is as far away as the distance between me and you. Some people say that CAOS gave birth to Gaia, but no one knows who is older. Don''t ask about things you don''t understand and don''t think about things you can''t understand. Anything about Gaia is beyond your cognitive range."


    Is Gaia so mysterious? Many stories about Gaia are introduced in the divinity manual. It seems that he has always been a sad role oppressed by successive God kings and then fought hard.


    Pan Shen seemed to see Manda''s mind and whispered: "Don''t believe those stupid books written by mortals. The gentle Gaia is the mother of all gods and mortals. The angry Gaia is the nightmare of all gods and mortals. The closer to the edge of the world, the easier it is to provoke Gaia. Both gods and mortals should be extra careful, so you should arrange the sacrifice for promotion in the Seven Star Mountain, the God of your father In the temple, where you can get your father''s protection. "


    "Seven Star Mountain, temple, sacrifice, I almost forgot the most important thing." Manda tried to hide his inner panic with a smile. He did forget the most important thing.


    The sacrifice needed for the sacrifice has not been found, the gold skeleton balance is missing, the ruler of the Milky way is in guater''s hand, and guater is gone.


    Pan Shen then said, "the sacrifice is arranged three days later. You should have Medusa, the contract appraiser, beside you and put all three weapons on the altar."


    Three weapons. We have to find the chisel. The chisel is also on guatel.


    "Congratulations, you are about to become a saint in the world." the figure of Pan God slowly disappeared on the altar. Manda sat on the ground and pressed her eyebrows tightly.


    Where the hell is guatel? Did something else happen just now?


    It doesn''t hurt if you just get lost. You can find him with flying boots and powerful forces.


    Manda was worried that some gods had taken guater away. The power of the gold skeleton balance was so amazing that even the gods could not resist the temptation.


    We have to find him, and we have to find him by all means. If necessary, we can abandon those three weapons, but we must let guater survive.


    If there are gods involved, Manda will never be able to guard those three weapons, but he must spare no effort to protect his family.


    Manda went out of the tent, ran to the open area and was about to take off. Unexpectedly, before taking off, she suddenly lost her center of gravity and fell into the snow.


    As if she had tripped over something, Manda got up from the snow, looked up and found guatel squatting behind her.


    Manda stared at guatel: "are you here?"


    Guatel stared at Manda: "you''re here too!"


    "Where have you been?"


    "Where have you been!"


    "I''m looking for you everywhere!"


    "I''m looking for you everywhere, too!"


    "Come here, I won''t beat you!"


    "I won''t go."


    Manda really wanted to beat guatel, but looking at his innocent face, Manda really couldn''t do it.


    "Where''s the balance?"


    Guatel opened his backpack and said, "here, the earth suddenly trembled and the wooden house collapsed. I ran out with it and looked for you everywhere."


    "Didn''t I tell you to stay away from that day?"


    Guater refused to accept the airway: "I''m helping you. If it weren''t for me, the balance would have been smashed!"


    Manda pinched guatel''s face: "well, your credit, the ruler of the Milky way?"


    "Er... Here you are." although he was reluctant, guatel handed over the ruler of the Milky way to Manda.


    "Where''s the chisel of Hephaestus?"


    Guatel held his mouth and said, "that''s mine."


    "It belongs to the gods."


    "The gods gave it to me."


    "Don''t fool around. Such a thing shouldn''t belong to the world."


    Guatel cried wrongfully and handed over the chisel under Manda''s repeated persuasion.


    Seeing that he was so sad, Manda handed the chisel back to him: "there are three days left. I''ll lend it to you for another three days. You must return it to me after three days."


    Guatel wiped his tears and said, "I want a ruler."


    Manda gave the ruler of the Milky way to guatel.


    "I want a balance."


    "What do you want the scales to do?"


    "I want it!"


    "I don''t care about you!" Manda left with the balance, and guatel sat on the ground sulking.


    That night, Manda slept in the tent. The thin tent couldn''t stop the cold wind. Medusa got into bed and wanted to warm Manda''s bed.


    Manda didn''t refuse. After all, Medusa had her own body.


    Medusa slept quickly and soundly, but Manda regretted it.


    Medusa''s blood is cold and does not have the function of warming the bed.


    The gold skeleton balance was next to Manda. When Manda was about to fall asleep, he heard a strange sound of digging in the snow.


    Needless to say, this is guatel digging a tunnel.


    Maybe it was what guatel sensed, or maybe Hephaestus gave a hint that guatel was so obsessed with the balance.


    "Don''t dig, just walk in." when he has dug the hole in the ground, the cold wind will come into the tent again.


    Guatel was obedient. He came in through the door and stared at Manda for a while.


    "You''re asleep!"


    Manda nodded, closed her eyes and pretended to snore.


    Guatel sat on the ground at ease and quietly observed the balance.


    Manda reminded, "don''t touch or eat anything on the tray of the balance. Your position is not enough."


    Guatel looked back and said, "aren''t you asleep? How can you talk?"


    "I''m talking in my sleep."


    "OK." guatel continued to stare at the balance all night.


    The ruler of the Milky way, the gold skeleton balance, the chisel of hehuaistos, and guatel''s obsession with these three weapons is no less than Kunta''s obsession with that ancient painting.


    There are only three days left. Let him have enough.


    ……


    In a twinkling of an eye, two days have passed, and there is still one day left for the promotion ceremony.


    The dispatcher built a wooden house for Manda, where Manda should make final preparations before promotion.


    He took out all the divine blood stones collected in recent years, a total of 693. He transformed all these divine blood stones into pure divine blood.


    He had done experiments before. Divine blood could be stored in pure silver containers for a long time, and there was no sign of evaporation even in the past month.


    The promotion effect of pure divine blood on promotion is less than that of homologous divine blood stone (for example, believers of Pluto ate Pluto''s divine blood stone), but greater than that of non homologous divine blood stone. The most important thing is that eating pure divine blood has no risk of losing, which is the best choice to speed up promotion.


    From early morning to noon, Manda transformed all the God blood stones into God blood and sealed them in a pure silver jar.


    Then he slept late into the night and saved enough energy for tomorrow''s promotion.


    When he wakes up, there is still a six minute hourglass before the promotion ceremony.


    He took out a thousand pearls and began to transform the original power.


    This is crazy, because according to the previous calculation, he can only eat the original force corresponding to 200 pearls at most, and 1000 pearls are too wasteful.


    But Manda has his plans.


    The preservation time of the original power is no more than eight hours. Now there are four hours before the promotion ceremony. If the promotion ceremony is very smooth and completed within two or three hours, he has at least one hour to swallow the original power.


    But if the promotion ceremony doesn''t go so smoothly for more than four hours, it means that the original strength will disappear.


    But Manda has done many experiments, and the original force will not disappear completely. Under the condition of good sealing, some of it can be retained.


    The more you convert, the more you keep. It doesn''t matter if you can''t finish it. There''s Medusa.


    Manda let Medusa eat some of the original strength. Although it was painful, she still ate it.


    Others, such as lioness and Stanley, were warned of lack of personality when they approached the balance.


    This also makes Manda understand that personality is not only related to class, but also another force that makes his personality change qualitatively.


    This force may continue, and the seventh order lattice may be higher than the calculation result. In short, there is no harm in leaving a little more margin, and there is no harm in letting Medusa master more of the original force.


    Belief in pearls is precious, but Manda can find the source and the opportunity to transform the original power is only left. This time, Manda is willing to convert a thousand pearls, even if he converts all the pearls, but the transformation takes time, and a thousand pearls is the most appropriate time.


    The whole transformation process took nearly two hours, two hours before the promotion ceremony.


    He took the scales, the ruler of the Milky way, comforted guatel, and took the chisel of Hephaestus.


    I wanted to complete the promotion in the state of dispatcher, which could save a lot of time and avoid Hermes''s gaze.


    However, Hermes asked to complete the promotion in the temple. Manda naturally dared not disobey. He took Medusa back to the Seven Star Mountain as soon as possible. Kunta had already made preparations for sacrifice. Manda and medusa knelt in front of the statue and began to pray silently.


    There was an hour before the appointed time. Unexpectedly, Hermes responded in advance. He seemed to have been looking forward to the ceremony for a long time.


    But his first sentence was not for Manda, but for Medusa.


    "Please look at the earth and bless your grandmother with the softest words."


    Pray to Gaia? Medusa doesn''t understand Hermes''s intention. What does this have to do with Manda''s promotion?


    Although Medusa didn''t have much awe of Hermes, it was an important moment for Manda. Naturally, she didn''t dare to mess around. She opened her eyes, stared at the earth and sent blessings to Gaia according to Hermes''s instructions.


    I thought the sacrificial ceremony would start early, but Manda was still secretly happy.


    But after that, Hermes gave no more instructions.


    An hour later, the sun rose and the first beam of sunshine shone on the statue. Manda finally waited for the oracle of Hermes and the sacrifice began.


    Under the auspices of Kunta, the priests first offered cooked food for Hermes, and Manda began to chant prayers loudly.


    After another hour, there was only the last step of the ceremony. Hermes received the sacrifice and gave God blood.


    This is the most critical step. The success or failure of sacrifice depends on this step, and the time spent is also on this step.


    Ideally, Hermes will give God''s blood within an hour, and the sacrifice will be completed here. Although Manda''s body will be abnormal, he should be able to hold on after so many promotions. The remaining two hours are enough for him to run back to the state of missionaries and eat the original strength calmly.


    The most unsatisfactory situation is that the last step directly exceeds three hours. In that case, Manda doesn''t have to spend much time. How much original power she can leave depends on the will of heaven.


    The divine light flashed, the three weapons on the altar slowly disappeared, and everything seemed to go very smoothly.


    But after the sacrifice disappeared, Hermes delayed giving God blood, and Manda''s heart hung up again.
