Chapter 1: The Three Goddesses
"The most handsome man among mankind.
A dispute arose among the immortal gods.
Hera, Aphrodite and Athena each want to fight for the golden apple that should be awarded to the most beautiful goddess. When they come, I ask you to be the judge and settle the matter."
Golden apple? Three goddesses?
It sounds familiar...
Xia Lian slowly opened his eyes, and the three people who appeared in front of him made Xia Lian's breathing stop slightly.
She was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen in his life. She was wearing a pure white dress with unique two-color lace lines. She wore a iris crown on her head and her long black hair was tied up. She was noble and elegant, showing the style of a queen.
The other one has healthy bronze skin, wears a golden armor, his eyes reveal wisdom and agility, and his heroism and beauty coexist.
The last one is even more difficult to describe in words. Her beauty is like the most beautiful gem at the top of the crown. Her golden curly hair is shining, and her white porcelain skin is smooth and tender. Especially her charming temperament makes people's hearts melt.
He felt weak and wished he could indulge in her arms immediately.
The three of them were all focusing on Xia Lian at the moment, and at the same time they were looking at each other from the corner of their eyes with extremely strong hostility in their eyes.
This is a strange land, with an ancient tree on one side, its green branches and leaves covering the sky and the sun. The green grass underfoot spreads around, and in the distance there are sheep grazing.
A few minutes ago, he was hit by a dump truck in the modern city. After formatting his phone with his last breath, he lost consciousness.
Xia Lian gradually calmed down. He had read a lot of time-travel novels, so he quickly accepted the scene before him.
Obviously, he has traveled through time.
And...the person and the timing of wearing it are not very good.
Xia Lian is no stranger to mythology, so after hearing the two keywords golden apple and three goddesses, he probably guessed where he is now.
If he guessed correctly, he should now have traveled through time and become Paris, the most handsome man in mankind. The three goddesses in front of him are Hera, the queen of Greek mythology, Athena, the goddess of wisdom and war, and Afo, the goddess of beauty.
Rodite.
What is happening now is the famous golden apple incident in Greek mythology.
Speaking of the Golden Apple incident, we have to mention the Trojan War, which plays a large role in Greek mythology. Its scale, the number of heroes and gods involved, and its duration are all unprecedented.
Ultimately, the cause is this golden apple incident.
The incident took place at the wedding banquet between the human hero Peleus and the sea goddess Thetis.
Since the marriage was arranged directly by the god Zeus, a group of higher-ranking gods were invited to the banquet.
According to some epic records, because of the limited availability of precious gold tableware—and of course its own unpopularity—Eris, the goddess who governs disputes, was not invited.
Feeling offended, Eris came uninvited and without saying a word, leaving a huge and gorgeous golden apple at the banquet with the words "καλλ?στ?" engraved on it, which means "dedicated to the most beautiful goddess."
.
The three goddesses with the highest level of divinity and the most beautiful ones present: Hera, the mother of the gods, Athena, the goddess of wisdom, and Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, were arguing over the golden apple. They asked Zeus to judge who could get it.
golden apple.
Zeus naturally had a headache about this, because offending anyone would cause a lot of trouble.
Therefore, He passed the blame to the prince of Troy, who is now Xia Lian.
He said, "The most beautiful goddess should naturally be judged by the most beautiful man among humans. Only then will it be fair."
So, Queen Hera, Goddess of Wisdom Athena and God of Love Aphrodite, led by the messenger Hermes, went to Mount Ida to ask Prince Paris for arbitration.
While Xia Lian was thinking, Hera took his hand, and in his daze, everything in front of him changed greatly.
In front of him was a huge ancient Greek-style palace, filled with huge stone pillars and marbles.
On the balcony of the palace, an extremely handsome king of mankind is waving to his subjects. Below is a sea of people cheering in the vast and majestic square. In the distance is the solemn and majestic army.
Hera's voice came from Xialian's side, "Give me the golden apple, and you will gain vast land and power, and become the king of mankind!
I will grant you great achievements, and your name will remain in the mouths of singers."
Before Xia Lian could speak, a soft hum came from his ears.
In the void, Athena stretched out her hand and caught Xia Lian into her illusion.
"Without wisdom and strength, even if you have power, you will eventually be corrupted by it."
In front of Xia Lian, a battlefield appeared. During the war, he wore armor and held weapons, leading his troops to fight on the battlefield as if he were in an uninhabited land.
The army behind him was inspired by him and was also extremely brave. The soldiers were shouting, their blades were clashing, and blood and glory were spilled on this land.
"Your arms are strong, your heart is noble; there are better things than power and fame.
Give me that golden apple, and I will bestow upon you martial arts and wisdom that are second to none in the world. From now on, you will be invincible and gain supreme glory and legend."
At this time, a slightly charming voice came from one side.
"Power and glory can be obtained through hard work later. These things do not need to be given to you at all.
But there is one thing that cannot be obtained at any time."
The scene in front of Xia Lian changed again. It was the interior of a quite prosperous palace. Decorated with Greek columns and various gauze scarves, he saw a green, steaming spring water. In this spring water
middle.
A beauty was taking a bath in it. In the hazy steam, the hemisphere was looming. Xia Lian couldn't see her face because she had her back to them.
She had her long black hair tied up, and her bare jade back was exquisite and skeletal, stained with crystal water drops, making people want to lick it clean.
Even if her face is not shown, just looking at her back makes people think she must be a peerless beauty.
"That is the most beautiful human woman in the world. Give me the golden apple and she will belong to you."
As the words fell, the illusion finally shattered, and he saw the three goddesses again.
They were looking at Xia Lian expectantly.
"How? Make your choice."
