If you gradually become bored with something you once liked, you will be reluctant to let it go. You will miss yourself when you first liked it and will try to regain your interest... but after millions or tens of millions of years, you will eventually have to face reality.
If you like it, you like it; if you don't like it, you don't like it.
Clearly someone had broken into the room, and her family might have met with an accident, but rather than worrying about the safety of her family, she was more curious about how Su Qing had managed to sneak in.
Freya sometimes envied the virgin goddesses, and even envied the snake skin of Zeus, who could hold on to one thing for billions of years. At least ninety percent of the gods could not do it.
Nowadays, 70% of the spiritualists in Orario are entertainers.
This is because the gods have only been in Orario for a thousand years, and many of the remaining 30% are just pretending to be serious.
Looking at Freya's unpretentious expression, Su Qing said calmly: "Who I am will depend on your answer."
"Interesting, tell me about it." Freya replied
…Is the being before me really a human?
Freya felt a little uneasy, and along with this uneasiness came unprecedented curiosity and excitement.
There is a saying in the underworld that humans cannot lie to God.
This is not a supernatural ability, but because of the billions of years of experience of the gods, they can easily see through humans... Even if the divine power is sealed, they can still see a lot of things.
But now, she couldn't see even a little bit of the information she wanted from the other person.
Clothing, body shape, walking posture, muscles, language habits, etc. Freya racked her brains but couldn't guess any clues.
Su Qing didn't pay much attention to Freya's opinion and asked calmly: "Thousands of years ago, the gods came to this world and brought their knowledge and technology to the underworld, right?"
"Correct."
"...The gods should know the consequences of doing this, right?" Su Qing asked.
"Without the process of trial and error, almost all highly qualified humans learn the technology of gods, and development stagnates? Occasionally, some humans simplify some of the technology of gods and popularize it, but the spread is slow? Coupled with various accidents, it will be cut off after a few generations?" Freya asked back.
Su Qing sneered.
"Sure enough, the deity who claims to be omniscient and has zero power does know."
If it were the 21st century, it would be completely beneficial for gods to provide their own technology to humans.
But this is a wrong world, and the level of development is at the medieval level.
How many top researchers are smart enough to popularize God's technology? And how can we ensure that the research results will continue after popularization?
In the 21st century, developed technologies will be applied quickly, and those that cannot be applied temporarily will be stored. However, in ancient times, there were too many technologies that disappeared after being passed down.
In the world of Dicuo, can the wise men and sages among humans completely analyze the technology provided by the gods?
It's hard.
If there were no technology from the gods, and the sages accumulated technology bit by bit, the technological level of mankind would move forward slowly but steadily.
With the technology of the gods... the greatest achievement the sages can achieve is probably just touching the realm of the gods (non-divine version).
Let the sages figure out the principles of the technology provided by the gods, not only know the results but also the reasons behind them, and be able to popularize and apply them... Is it possible?
A thousand years after the gods came to earth, the level of development of human civilization has almost stagnated.
Freya nodded slightly and echoed Su Qing: "For the gods, the progress of human society is nothing. The gods are more looking forward to heroes who can lead the world forward."
"And ensure that your game can continue?"
Su Qing knocked on the wall of the Tower of Babel and said, "Is this the suppressor you made?"
"When the adventurers suffer heavy casualties, use the power of the Tower of Babel to suppress the generation of monsters in the dungeon. When the adventurers are strong enough, release the restrictions of the dungeon?"
"Not bad." Freya clapped her hands and praised, "The only time the adventurers suffered heavy losses was during the expedition against the black dragon. Just that one time, and you saw through it to this extent."
"In the eyes of the gods, what's important is this game where the heroes defeat the black dragon and overcome the trials."
"So, knowing all this, what are you going to do? Kill the gods?"
A smile appeared on Freya's face.
"The gods never meant well in the beginning."
"But the gods do no evil."
"It is not that the gods actively impart technology to humans, but that humans ask the gods to impart technology."
"It's not that the gods support the dungeon. When the adventurers are strong enough, the gods just reduce their suppression of the dungeon. The gods have never supported the dungeon to become stronger."
"And, most importantly."
Freya raised a finger and said, "The dungeon was not created by the gods."
"It was the underground city that brought disaster to mankind. The gods only had the ability to interfere, but they chose to half-intervene and half-watch."
Freya shrugged and smiled, "Even if you think that letting it go is a sin...then the ones who should be judged as sinners the most should not be the gods, right?"
"how do you want to do it?"
Freya looked at Su Qing with interest.
The gods are powerless. If a strong man who can sneak into the top floor of the Tower of Babel tries to assassinate the gods, no one knows how many casualties it will cause.
But even so, she told the truth without reservation.
Rather than the casualties, she was more curious about the other party's attitude after knowing the truth.
Nowadays, 70% of the gods in Orario are pure gods of pleasure.
She is one of them.
Chapter 3: The Devil
Su Qing shrugged slightly.
Among the gods in the world of Dicuo, there are probably not many who are kind to humans. There are gods with good intentions, but the most common ones are gods of fun.
Having said that, as long as the appearance of the dungeon has nothing to do with the gods, and the dungeon that brings disaster to surface life is not created by the gods, then the gods as a whole have made contributions to the underworld.
If it were some noble saint, even if she had the power to suppress the gods, she would probably be extremely conflicted, right?
It is probably true that the gods have ill intentions towards the underworld.
It is really unfair to say that the gods have brought great disasters to the lower world.
If we judge by deeds rather than by heart, the gods have shown favor to mankind.
Fortunately, Su Qing doesn’t think that he is that kind of goody-goody.
Ignoring Freya's question, Su Qing asked, "How did the underground city appear?"
A smile appeared on Freya's face, and she asked, "Guess?"
Su Qing took out a divine weapon and placed it on Freya's neck: "Do you want to guess?"
The smile on Freya's face froze.
"You have no attachment to life anymore?" Su Qing asked, "I've heard that in heaven, some gods committed suicide because they couldn't stand boredom, but they couldn't die completely... If you are such a god, I'll satisfy you if you want to die."
"I'm also curious whether gods are really unkillable."
Su Qing looked at the goddess in front of him, his eyes full of amusement.
Is there true immortality in the world? Even if there is, it is definitely not something that the gods of this world can achieve.
The gods in the box garden also have immortality, but as long as one has the power to shatter the stars, this immortality can be erased.
There are only two possibilities for the immortality of the gods in this world.
First, the immortality of gods exceeds the level of their power, just like the attacks of a martial arts champion cannot hurt evil spirits. The gods' research on power is at the level of 'martial arts champion', but the gods' innate level of life is higher.
In the battle between gods, their power can kill the bodies of other gods, but that’s all. It cannot harm the essence of the gods. After a period of time, the gods whose bodies were killed will be able to give birth to new bodies.
In other words, compared to the life level of gods, their control over their own power is too superficial.
Secondly, there is a power that is higher than the gods, either the world itself, or some rules that favor the gods, which resurrect the gods after their death.
Looking at Freya's expression, Su Qing was more inclined to the second option.
Freya swallowed visibly, a hint of nervousness appearing on her face.
She sensed a threat to her life.
Although it was not a great favor, the weapon that Su Qing took out was also taken from the favor library of Thousand Eyes Headquarters, and was not weaker than Black Rabbit's divine weapons.
The two goddesses are actually considered rich ladies in the box garden, at least much richer than poor gods like Indra.
Can an attack at a four-digit level really threaten the life of a god?
Su Qing shrugged. The gods in this world were much weaker than he thought.
The scale of the force may be able to explode a star, but the precision of the force may not be enough.
Su Qing shook his head slightly and commented: "Your so-called gods are probably just classifications of life forms?"
Freya squeezed her legs together and took a deep breath.
As a deity, she could easily control her body's reactions, but she had no desire to do so.
The unprecedented sense of crisis she had never experienced before made her feel cold down her spine, as if she would really die if she was chopped off. This unprecedented sense of crisis made her so excited that she couldn't control herself.
...Do you want to try to bump into it? Watch closely?
She really wanted to try it, but her curiosity about Su Qing outweighed her desire to die.
"What do you mean by that?" Freya asked
"That is to say, there is nothing commendable about it." Su Qing explained.
“Birds can fly, fish can swim, but humans cannot.”
"A tiger's strength is naturally greater than a human's, and a cheetah's burst of speed far exceeds that of an average human."
"Also, the gods have experiences far beyond those of humans, and they possess divine powers."
"These are the same, that's all."
