Gods, I am the ancient Greek god of joy

Chapter 257 Ascension to the throne

The surface of the purple crystal was flickering with intricate energy patterns. Cen Chun simply stared at the flow of energy and felt as if his body was ignited. Both his flesh and blood and his spiritual power showed a long-lost activity. He began to unconsciously construct the energy routes on the purple crystal in his body.

As new energy circuits were formed in the body, Cen Chun began to resonate with the amethyst. Every time he circulated his spiritual power, he would gain a little energy from the crystal. With the emergence of this special energy, his skin, which was originally full of wrinkles and loose, gradually became firmer.

Cen Chun raised his trembling hands and carefully observed the changes in himself. He could not believe his eyes, but the changes in his body told him that he was getting younger. So when he looked at the amethyst again, the eyes that originally maintained some clarity were gradually replaced by desire and greed.

Zagreus sat on the stone bench and watched Cen Chun's eyes become more and more greedy. The corners of his mouth gradually curled up, revealing an unfathomable smile. Then he pointed his finger, and the amethyst quickly merged into Cen Chun's body. Cen Chun felt infinite vitality suddenly surge in his body. This unprecedented experience made him fall into a state of extreme excitement and ecstasy, and he even forgot everything around him for a moment.

However, Cen Chun did not notice that as his body and the crystal merged with each other, the ends of his hair gradually took on a crystal-like transparent texture, as if a layer of crystal as thin as a cicada's wing covered it.

At the same time, Cen Chun's mind began to be distorted by Zagreus's divine power in extreme joy. All kinds of bizarre ideas kept emerging in his mind. Thoughts that were usually suppressed or ignored now broke out one after another and occupied his brain like a tide.

Cen Chun was unaware of this change in thinking. At this moment, he was immersed in an unprecedented sense of relaxation, as if the whole world had become lighter. The corners of his mouth slightly cracked due to laughing out loud, forming a series of tiny cracks, and these cracks would expand a little with each smile.

As Cen Chun's body moved, crystal fragments began to sprinkle from the cracks. Once these fragments touched any object, whether it was the ground, flowers or soil, they would instantly be transformed into purple crystals.

When Cen Chun saw the crystals he had transformed on the ground, the smile on his face grew bigger and bigger. At this time, he looked at Zagreus again. In addition to madness, there was also a little piety in his eyes. This was influenced by Zagreus's divine power. Cen Chun bowed respectfully and said:

"Thank you, Your Highness. No, thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward!"

"Well, go ahead. Although your ability cannot kill the gods of Hedao, as long as you assimilate enough, you will continue to be resurrected from the crystal. This means that I have fulfilled my promise to you. The only thing I want you to do is to turn the Longyuan Dynasty into my own country!"

"I will follow your majesty's orders!" After hearing this, Cen Chun bowed slightly, left the imperial garden with a crazy look, and flew straight towards the Longyuan Kingdom.

Zagreus looked at his receding back, stretched out his hand to wipe away the traces he left behind, then took out the folk tales he had collected and began to read them carefully again.

Taking down the Longyuan Dynasty is only his first step. With Cen Chun's strength, it is enough to assimilate most of the Longyuan Dynasty into amethyst. This world is actually not that big. After all, it is just the echo of the world. As long as Cen Chun destroys the royal family of the Longyuan Dynasty, he can shake the destiny of the Longyuan Dynasty. If the destiny is unstable, the god hidden behind the dynasty will naturally take action.

Although Cen Chun's strength is not strong, he will definitely encounter some cultivators in the realm of refining the spirit and returning to the void when he slaughters those royal relatives. Now with his ability, he can crush them one-on-one and deal with two-on-one. If he is about to be beaten to death, he can also be reborn from the crystal assimilated by him and make a comeback again.

As long as they are hurt by him, even the cultivators in the realm of refining the spirit and returning to the void will not be able to stop being transformed into crystals. The royal family of the Longyuan Dynasty can ask as many cultivators as possible to work for them. Zagrous will just wait and see. Even if he kills them all, Zagrous will not feel sorry. Now the people of Nanzhao are the people he truly recognizes, and other countries will have to submit to him in the future. What he wants now is to force that god out of the Longyuan Dynasty. As long as he dares to come out, Zagrous will have another piece of the world fragment in his stomach.

However, before fighting against foreign enemies, one must first stabilize the internal situation. Queen Wei said that General Wei Yuan would force him to give up the throne in public tomorrow and let his so-called fourth brother ascend the throne. It was said that Wei Yuan was already prepared to be the regent. Not only him, but also the entire court of civil and military officials had been infiltrated like a sieve. No matter who their forces were, Zagreus felt that they were a trouble and he had to find a way to solve the problem once and for all.

Zagrous thought about it and clapped his hands. The guard from before tactfully ran in. Zagrous looked at him carefully and then pressed him to the ground. Pan, who was hiding in the guard's body, originally wanted to escape, but was then pulled back by Zagrous and forcefully stuffed into the guard's body. Then he started to transform him directly. After a few minutes, the previous guard had changed beyond recognition and turned into the appearance of Queen Wei, who was now looking at Zagrous with tears on his face.

Zagreus looked around and indeed found the soul of Queen Wei after her death. He picked it up and stuffed it into Pan's mouth.
