Astraea glanced at Liu's chest secretly and couldn't help but curl her lips.
When Liu has children in the future, how will he support them?
The goddess of justice shrugged and looked at her lovely child lovingly...
Suddenly, the face of the goddess of justice became serious.
With a snap, the righteous hand knife chopped on Liu's head.
"Even if it's Leon, it's forbidden to push further!"
Liu covered his head and muttered, "It's obviously an illusion, but it's so harsh..."
"Even if pretending is just an illusion, I won't hold back!"
There were three snaps, and a smile appeared on Astralia's face: "Are you awake?"
Liu rubbed his aching head and looked at the goddess in front of him with a little confusion. Suddenly, he seemed to think of something. His face turned red and he stammered, "Ah wah wah wah wah, I I I I, you you you you..."
"Well, now that you're awake, get busy!" Astraea looked at the useless elf gently and said to her family, "You still have work to do in the store."
"Yes, yes, yes, I'm sorry, Lady Astraea, I'll see you later!"
The useless elf, with a red face, fled in a hurry.
Astraea watched Liu leave, restrained the smile on her face, and said seriously: "Mr. Su Qing...what do you think of my proposal just now?"
"...To be honest, before I met you, I thought you were a difficult person."
Su Qing nodded slightly and said bluntly: "People with justice in their hearts will usually stick to formalities, but people like you who can give up everything unnecessary for the sake of their goals are actually living transparently."
"Is this the first time I've met you, sir?" Astraea asked.
"No, the second time."
Su Qing shrugged: "Although she is not fighting for justice, but for ideals - she is more realistic than you."
"Then I'm very curious. He must be an outstanding person." Astraea's eyes flickered slightly.
"That was a woman who caused 80 million deaths in human history in order to cross the trial." Su Qing nodded slightly and said, "She's called Canary. You two may get along well in the future... but remember to be a little wary of her. She's not a good woman."
Astraea blinked and nodded, "Okay!"
"What?" Su Qing was a little confused. Are they chatting across servers?
A smile appeared on Astraea's face: "Aren't you hinting at me? I said yes."
"Wait a minute?" Su Qing tilted his head and looked at Astralia: "What are you talking about?"
"I admit that I'm not a good woman... But, for saying something like that to Canary..." Astraea shrugged: "If you want to support me, as long as the price is high, a bad woman like me will consider it."
Su Qing looked strange, and asked in a confused manner: "What do you want to say?"
After thinking about it for a moment, Su Qing was absolutely sure that what he had just said should not be enough to constitute a hint. Astralia was clearly deliberately diverting the topic.
Astraea shrugged and said bluntly: "Mr. Su, you have a flaw now."
"tell me the story."
"Trust relationship." Astralia said bluntly: "I can probably guess what the forces willing to accept me will be like."
"There are two possible reasons for the power that can recruit the Goddess of Justice."
"First, the power itself represents justice. Recruiting the goddess of justice will hardly affect the organization's rules of conduct."
"If that's the case, maybe the power itself represents the order of that world. Then just pretend I didn't ask."
"Secondly..." Astraea said faintly, "They deliberately chose people like me to join the force."
"It may be for justice or for ideals. At the very least, it is a force that will not be held back after idealists join."
Astraea knocked on the table and said, "Uranus has seen that Mr.'s strength is booming and has great potential. He will rely on Mr.'s power to travel through the world to expand himself and recruit gods with relatively reliable character in this world."
"But it seems to me that this is a way to only recruit gods with reliable character..." Astralia took a deep breath and asked, "Those who wantonly exploit others are in high positions. Sir, you can only recruit people with reliable character as companions?"
This is the difference in perspective. Uranus had planned to kill those gods of fun early on. During the long time in heaven, he thought that the words of the gods were bullshit and he didn't take them into his mind at all. All he thought was, "When I find a way, you all must die."
What Astraea saw was that during her time in heaven, the God of Fun wreaked havoc in heaven.
Uranus has a broader perspective, while Astraea thinks in relatively more detail.
Although both of them were trying to recruit the goddess of justice, Uranus thought that Su Qing's recruiting of the goddess of justice represented that Su Qing could create value, while Astraea thought about his situation in his own world now that Su Qing had recruited the goddess of justice.
Both viewpoints have some truth to them and neither is wrong.
Su Qing's willingness to recruit Asteria also means that the goddess of justice will not oppose what Su Qing does.
Su Qing nodded slightly and said, "That's probably true, but that world is not as bad as you think. A large number of strong people are still reliable."
Although it is the final test for humanity, he no longer feels like a villain.
It represents the final trial of mankind in human history, but for the box garden, it represents the majority and justice.
The only thing Su Qing felt was a pity that after his identity was exposed, the gods and Buddhas in the box garden would most likely not stand on his side.
Even though many gods and Buddhas in the box garden are idealists, such as the Greek gods and Indra, they do not care too much about the benefits gained from human history.
But even so, even if it is explained clearly to these gods and Buddhas that the essence of the final trial of mankind is the aspiration of human history, these gods and Buddhas will most likely not go along with the final trial.
——There’s no need to gamble.
Even though they are all working for the history of mankind, the final trial can represent human history, but the final trial also does represent the end of human history.
Being on the same path does not mean that you must walk together. Most gods and Buddhas believe that after solving the final trial of mankind, the distortions in human history and the box garden will be slowly alleviated.
Unless Su Qing can demonstrate enough strength.
——At least it has to be at the level of the dystopian demon king, so that the gods and Buddhas can see a big enough hope of success. By then, the final trial of mankind can be spread out to represent the demands of human history. Some gods and Buddhas who are committed to human history may choose to join him and fight to the death with the gods and Buddhas who are bent on exploiting human history.
But this is just considering the situation in the small garden.
If we only look at the stance, for those on Su Qing's side, Su Qing, as the final trial of mankind, is just in his stance.
People like Astraea, because they rely on Su Qing's channel to enter the box garden, they are observed by the box garden's core after entering. Their spirits are directly bound to Su Qing. If Su Qing dies, the people he brings to the box garden will have no chance of survival.
With this restriction, and the fact that although Su Qing is still weak, his stance is the most correct and he is bound to the side of human history - Su Qing has no idea what kind of madness Astraea would have to go through to betray him at the risk of disregarding her own life.
Instead, he recruited some subordinates with bad character who might betray Su Qing for their own benefit.
Although people from the outside world need to rely on Su Qing's observations to survive in human history, and are theoretically bound to Su Qing, there is also an illegal plug-in in the box garden called two-digit numbers.
If Su Qing died, even if the box garden judged that the people outside would die as well, but if they were connected with the two-digit number, the two-digit number could save these people from the judgment of the core of the box garden.
In extreme cases, the Mother of Evil can force Azdahaka to carry the spirit of humanity's final trial. Although the two-digit number may be targeted by the core of the box garden if they carry out operations involving Su Qing, as long as they are willing to pay the price and have the right opportunity, the two-digit number is not completely unable to take action on humanity's final trial.
Then there is the possibility that Su Qing's subordinates came into contact with the two-digit number and then betrayed him - although it is only a slight possibility.
Perhaps it was Su Qing's response without hesitation that made Astraea feel a little relieved. She did guess that Su Qing's stance in the other world would be slightly biased towards justice or order, but Su Qing's answer without hesitation still made her feel a little relieved.
Astraea sorted herself out for a moment, then said, "Recruiting a god with a reliable character like me will certainly reduce the probability of betrayal, but there is a problem."
"...Mr. Su, you believe that we will not betray you, but how can we believe that you will not betray us?"
Astraea said faintly: "Comparatively speaking, we are the weaker party. I am not only referring to this world, but also the world where you, Mr. Su, are."
"According to Uranus's speculation, in that world, Mr. Su's power was also built up by his own ability to travel through worlds?"
Su Qing was stunned when he heard this. Although his team in the box garden had not yet been formed, it was generally true.
And, what Astraea said...
Astraea picked up the water cup to moisten her throat and said, "I have no choice. Mr. Su, your subordinates in your force have no choice either, but you have the right to choose."
"Now, sir, you choose to recruit subordinates with reliable character, but what about in the future?"
"If I travel to a more powerful world, will they no longer require character, and only require sufficient strength to recruit people?"
"Or, will it go to a higher world and never come back?"
Astraea shook her head slightly and said, "It's human nature to change one's ways when encountering a better choice, but the problem is..."
Astraea shrugged, a smile on her face: "Sir, you haven't met a better choice yet, right?"
"——If everything nowadays is your basic support, then you can't make your basic support feel at ease, right?"
Astraea blinked at Su Qing and said slowly, "At least in my opinion, after I got the news from Uranus, all I thought was that this might be the only chance in my life, and I would never let it go."
"I'm probably not the only one who thinks so."
"Even if you brought me to another world, I would still feel this kind of anxiety."
Astraea sighed and said helplessly: "Sir, you should have many choices, but me, but we, probably have no choice."
"People like us can't feel at ease just because of the interests involved."
“This will almost certainly affect productivity.”
Su Qing knocked on the table, thought for a moment, and nodded slightly: "Canary has made similar plans."
Astraea asked curiously, "Of course it would be like this. I want to know what that woman thinks?"
Su Qing curled her lips: "Canary... She is trying to match me with her adopted daughter."
Astraea was stunned and remained silent for three or four seconds. Then she asked faintly, "Is it not okay if it's me?"
Su Qing didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Don't play tricks, I'm not hinting."
Astraea pretended to be relieved and smiled, "A goddess like me is willing to sacrifice myself, but Liu is still too naive. I remember that not long before I left the city, Liu thought that as long as we slept in the same bed and held hands, we could have a baby."
"Moreover, the elves do care about love. Although they don't go so far as to demand monogamy, most elves pray for true love, not love mixed with interests."
Su Qing waved her hand and said, "Let's stop talking about this for now."
"I want to know the details." Astralia said, "I'm not joking. I'm serious about this."
Before Su Qing could reply, Astralia continued, "Of course, if it's really hard to reveal the truth, just pretend I never asked."
Astraea thought that the boss might recruit employees based on their global situation, but she, a worker, was accepted by this boss as a worker. Of course, she would try to get closer to the boss and preferably become his own person.
But if it touches on the boss's privacy... there is no way to build a close relationship with the boss, and it's okay to just ask for or not guarantee, and then angering the boss and losing the job, then that would be putting the cart before the horse.
Su Qing touched his nose and said with an embarrassed look: "It's not something worth discussing... In the world over there, my situation is a bit dangerous, so I don't want to focus my energy here for the time being."
"You can stay in Loki's family for two days. Why would such a small thing consume your energy?"
Astraea pouted and looked at Su Qing with a slight gleam in her eyes.
In her opinion, it is a good thing for Su Qing to be cautious in this regard.
