It's not like he hasn't thought about it.
But in the box garden, Su Qing can't produce many four-digit subordinates. Even if they are really brought to this world, the four-digit people in the box garden may not be able to do better than the gods in this world.
Once he reveals his identity as the final human trial and is able to gain a foothold in the box garden, he will consider completely opening the door to the space between the two worlds.
Otherwise, if something happened to him, the four-digit number in the box garden would remain in this world for thousands or tens of thousands of years, being invincible in this world, and then losing contact with the box garden... God knows what would happen.
Before Su Qing has the ability to protect himself in the box garden, let Uranus and other gods manage this world. It is hard to say how good things will become in the future, but after hundreds of millions of years, it will still be relatively orderly and will not be worse than the current Orario.
Hestia shrugged and pouted, "That's right..."
To be honest, she seemed a little cold in the heavenly realm, staying at home all year round.
But that is not because she was born with this kind of personality, but because she can only have this kind of personality in heaven. If she protects others out of temporary kindness, her act of protection will instead become the "pleasure" of other gods.
——In heaven, if we really talk about problem children, Loki is not at the top of the list, it has to be Hestia.
There are many gods who are so bored that they drive themselves to suicide, but there are almost no gods who are so entangled that they drive themselves to have a split personality.
If the spirits of gods were so easy to control, the heavens would have long ago launched a war between gods with the goal of striking at their spirits.
She is the goddess of fire who protects the house, but she cannot fulfill even a little bit of her divine duties in the heaven... She did not give up and become a god of fun who caused trouble to others, but she pushed herself to the level of schizophrenia.
Hestia separated out her second personality named Vesta. On weekdays, she is a home goddess who never leaves the house. Once her bottom line is touched, her second personality will awaken and become the goddess of fire, symbolizing the destructive side of fire.
Although Hestia really wanted to slap Uranus and Zeus in the face to vent her anger and wanted to retaliate, as a harmless goddess who could get so angry that her divinity would split, Hestia also admitted that it was the best way for the time being for these gods to rule Orario, or even the underworld.
——Otherwise, the "world" needs to be destroyed to the extent that dungeons will never be generated in the underworld and gods will never be resurrected in the heavens. Only then can humans find peace on this earth.
Right now, Hestia only cares about one thing in this world.
Hestia took a deep breath and slowly looked at Bell: "Bell, what kind of person do you want to be?"
"and many more."
Even the ignorant Bell realized that something was wrong and asked quickly, "Lord God, what are you going to do?"
"Bell-kun." Hestia exhaled, a little helpless on her face: "God, I have to go to a very far place."
"Please take me with you." Bell said without hesitation.
"Unfortunately, that's not a place you can go." Hestia shook her head slightly. The box garden she learned from Su Qing... To be honest, a god like her would be in danger of her life in it, let alone Bell.
And, she knew very well where Bell didn't fit in.
Bell is an artificial hero.
If it were any other adventurer, heading to the small garden might be an opportunity, but it was absolutely impossible for Bell because this child was too pure, so pure that he would not doubt others.
Not long ago, Bell came to Orario with money and spent all his money to stay in a hotel for a few days. He didn't suspect that the hotel was too expensive or that he was being ripped off.
In the end, even the innkeeper couldn't stand it anymore, and gave Bell a small amount of money, and told him not to trust others easily.
In Orario, Bell might have the opportunity to make mistakes, but even with a parental filter, Hestia knows that if such a Bell goes to the small garden, he will be cheated and left with nothing even in his underwear.
After all, the life of a so-called hero is bound to be full of unknowns and coincidences.
In Orarie, everything about Bell is just right, his looks that can attract the motherly goddess, his pure heart and childish behavior, and his unfathomable talent, all of which make countless gods fascinated by him.
But this is also the most embarrassing point - if it weren't for Orario, Bell would not be able to become a hero.
Hestia knew very well how much Bell wanted to be a hero.
Since Bell became a member of Hestia's family, he went to the dungeon alone. From being unable to hold a sword steadily to being able to fight now, from only knowing the dungeon from heroic stories to being able to explore the first few floors now, he has made efforts that many people cannot imagine.
Even the threat of death will not stop Bell from yearning for adventure.
——But the reality is not so gentle that one can succeed solely through hard work and a certain amount of talent.
The persistence of not backing down even in the face of death, in this dungeon, in Orario, will become Bell's special feature that attracts the attention of the gods.
But going to the small garden is a way to death.
Without great power, you still want to talk about persistence and yearning. If you encounter injustice and would rather die than draw your sword, but you don’t have enough power... then you must be prepared to face death at any time.
Hestia doesn't think Bell is afraid of death. She believes in her family and has the courage to face death without compromise.
But as a family member, Hestia hopes that Bell can live a peaceful life.
If she stayed in Orario, if she went to the Little Garden, if the relationship between Uranus and Zeus was there, Bell could live the life he wanted.
Hestia took a deep breath and a smile appeared on her face: "Don't worry, the gods also have their own circles and things they want to do."
Hestia stood up and patted Bell's shoulder: "I will make sure you are well settled before I leave, Bell."
"If you want to change your sect, I will ask Hephaestus for help."
"No, not only that... After all, we are the goddess. As long as we secretly break some rules, we can do even more extreme things."
"I swear in the name of Hestia, no matter how big... if it's not too much of a wish, I can help you, Bell."
Hestia glanced at Su Qing. As the price of selling her body as the goddess, it was only to satisfy the wishes of mortals. Could she do it, right?
Su Qing spread his hands, feeling helpless.
——Why are you pretending? You obviously want to go to the small garden too, don't make me look like a villain who forcibly breaks up a couple.
A trace of confusion appeared on Bell's face.
He was not hesitant about the so-called goddess' wish, nor was he entangled in the issue of converting after the god left. It was precisely because he was pure to this extent that he could attract the attention of the gods.
"Sir God, why is it this expression?" Relying on his intuition, Bell asked the question that concerned him most: "An expression that looks like it will never come back."
Hestia was silent for a moment, a hint of helplessness and a hint of relief appearing on her face.
“I was definitely prepared for that.”
"This is too far for you, Bell."
"But I can tell you, just think of it as Hestia's divine life experience."
"When I was ready to face death, I felt blessed to have the opportunity to risk my life."
"When you understand this sentence, we may have a chance to meet again."
Hestia, who was driven to mental breakdown, let out a long breath.
She is the goddess who protects the family.
Not only in Orario, she couldn't protect Bell's fate.
For hundreds of millions of years in heaven, she could only stay in her own temple and could not protect anything.
A smile appeared on Hestia's face.
"Bell-kun, you want to be a hero."
"I also want to become a qualified goddess."
"Please, don't stop me, but bless me!"
Hestia stared at Bell.
Bell looked back at Hestia.
That face was full of worry, full of uneasiness, and - full of desire and happiness.
That was the expression he was most familiar with, the one he would show every time before heading into the dungeon.
This is the expression one would show when there is something ahead that one wants to find no matter what.
As if hearing this sound, Bell took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.
"——Lord God."
"exist."
"Bon Voyage."
Chapter 19: The Intention
Outside the abandoned church.
"This might be a big blow to the child, right?"
Hestia sighed. No matter how she pretended to be strong, Bell was only a teenager after all. If he were a woman, she could even be barely called a loli.
Coming all alone and from afar to Orario, it was impossible for him not to feel confused.
But Bell's goal is to become an adventurer. As long as he joins the clan, he will definitely have companions, or at least a reliable god.
But she had to pull away and leave the child alone.
…I am such a bad-hearted goddess.
Hestia sighed again.
Su Qing shrugged: "Don't worry, it's just a small setback, it won't bother the child."
Bell was deliberately bred to be too pure and flawless, and his aspirations to be heroes were too strong, which made him prone to death when facing danger, but this can also be seen as Bell's only weakness.
A firm will will make any blow that does not lead to his death become nourishment for his growth.
Just like a normal person would subconsciously avoid fire when encountering it, but a person with a strong will would not take a step back even if he is burned by fire if he has a reason not to retreat.
This is a way to seek death, but it also means that as long as he survives, he can withstand any other blows.
In this weird world, with Uranus's care, Bell rarely encounters a fatal crisis.
"Having said that, I'm still a little worried." Hestia shook her head. Even if the child is very reliable, which parent wouldn't worry when the child leaves?
"Besides..." Hestia looked at Su Qing suspiciously and said, "You seem to have more confidence in that child than I thought? Are you hiding something from me?"
"What?" Su Qing tilted his head in confusion.
"Did you discuss this with Uranus and let Bell seduce those bad goddesses without telling me?"
"What are you thinking?" Su Qing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and hit Hestia's head hard in revenge.
Shaking his head slightly, Su Qing asked back, "On the contrary, you only have a few days left to leave."
