The existence of bugs may affect the stability of the world system you have built, but when a novice constructs a worldview and invents a world operating system, what is important is never how perfect or profound the system is.
If you can maintain it normally and not collapse directly, you will win.
Divine power is an omnipotent force that operates autonomously in accordance with the will of the person concerned. Using divine power to nurture the world can certainly make up for the parts that Su Qing is unclear about, but conflicts between divine powers are inevitable.
Unlimited freedom is equivalent to infringing on the freedom of others, and unlimited omnipotence is bound to conflict with omnipotence in other areas.
The scope of priesthood is the mold that regulates the direction of omnipotent evolution, but at the boundaries of different priesthoods, divine power will inevitably exert its omnipotent nature and try to cross some boundaries.
If one can master the technology of differentiating divine power, when conflicts arise in the self-evolution of external energy, one can weaken the mold range of one or both parties and thus suppress the occurrence of conflicts.
If we could learn from Artemis how to split the single divine position into two parts, Artemis and Diana...
Su Qing originally had a success rate of about 50% in constructing a worldview with divine power. After mastering this technique, he could at least increase his success rate by 50%.
For Su Qing, this change was an unexpected surprise.
But for Artemis, it was a pure accident without any surprises.
Artemis weighed Orion's arrow in her hand.
So, the message that this Orion Arrow conveyed to her was not that it could choose a partner for her, but that it wanted to be her 'partner'?
Is it similar to the concept of Taoist couples in the heavens or in the east? But she understood it as love?
The Moon Goddess tilted her head, looking confused.
She didn't really think about the impact this would have on her future. The "purity" that comes with the attribute of the moon can also be understood as being free and easy.
There will always be a way when you reach the mountain, and drink while you can.
No matter what the weather is like, think about the present now and the future in the future.
Different moon goddesses have different personalities, but at least Artemis is not the type to worry about the future, but rather focuses more on the present.
She now has a problem.
...How can this play go on?
Didn't she say that she would rely on her own personality to get close to Su Qing and find out Su Qing's bottom line or weakness, so as to at least let the gods of this world die with some dignity?
Artemis was bewildered.
She took out the Arrow of Orion, prepared to pretend to be in love with him, and even prepared a follow-up date plan.
But this development is wrong.
The other party told her directly that her artifact was not a real artifact, and that it was just a misunderstanding for her to think that the Arrow of Orion could choose a love partner for her. The real reason why she longed for a partner was simply because she had flaws, and it was her instinctive desire to grow into perfection?
How could she respond?
There were only two choices before her. Either she admitted that what Su Qing said was true, and that her love at first sight for Su Qing was just her body's desire to grow, an instinctive reaction.
Or maybe Su Qing had seduced her. The charm of the god of love in this world was useless to the virgin goddess, but Su Qing was from another world, so perhaps he had the ability to seduce her.
Moreover, he used this charming power that could make her unable to resist, not because he wanted to gain any benefit from her. He had obviously made her feel love at first sight, but he immediately came into contact with the seductive ability just to tease her.
There are two possibilities before her, and Artemis believes the former as the latter is too unreliable.
Artemis opened her mouth and thought again and again, but she couldn't find a way to get things back on track.
To be frank, her so-called waiting for her destined other half was just an illusion!
Astraea narrowed her eyes slightly.
She was the one who started this matter, so she could naturally guess what Artemis was thinking.
Knocking on the table to draw attention to herself, Astraea looked at Su Qing with a smile on her face.
"Mr. Su, you are so heartless!"
"What do we have to talk about?" Su Qing asked.
"That's the Moon Goddess who has been waiting for a lover for hundreds of millions of years."
That's her own problem. I didn't ask her to wait. What does it have to do with me? Su Qing thought to himself. Women will only affect my analysis speed. Compared with the ocean of knowledge, it is really not worth mentioning.
Although Su Qing had anticipated his own mental state, he still felt a little amused.
Before he traveled through time, he was in a state of intermittent striving for progress and long periods of living a life of idleness and waiting for death.
He also didn't want to ponder philosophical questions like "Who am I?" and wasn't interested in questions like who was his true self.
He was the one who set his ambition, worked hard, and when he got tired, he was the one who just kept eating and waiting for death. If he had really persisted at that time, he would not be himself? If he persisted because of external forces, he would not be himself?
There are many difficulties in making the real self work harder to become closer to the ideal self, such as laziness, cowardice, etc. These will hold you back and make self-change very difficult.
But after traveling through time, perhaps due to the potential influence of the final test of human spiritual power, his personality seemed to gradually push him to move forward actively.
In the past, when Su Qing made up his mind to work hard, after a few hours he would just think the sofa was more comfortable or the games were more fun.
Now, after seeing the garbage state of the box garden and the even worse garbage state of the Earth World, when Su Qing was thinking about fucking him, a few hours and days later, he still thought... I really have to fuck him, otherwise my mind will not be clear.
It is unlikely that spiritual power has no influence on personality, but it is only an influence, and the decision is still made by the person involved.
In Su Qing's opinion, based on his personality before he traveled through time, if he could pick up the Arrow of Orion, even if he figured out the reason, he would never explain.
Artemis misunderstood that as love...Then Su Qing would only say, yes, yes, I am your destined other half.
It's not like he was trying to deceive Artemis, so he does have his bottom line, but don't expect him to be so noble that he would push away such a romantic encounter.
But now... he actually took this aspect much less seriously, and had no intention of deceiving Artemis into misunderstanding him.
Su Qing shook his head slightly. It was enough to know the cause of the problem. Spirituality might affect one's character, but it was not brainwashing.
I can only say that growing from an ordinary person to four-digit figures in a short period of time, this feeling of becoming stronger, and the feeling of constantly improving oneself from the vast amount of knowledge, is indeed attractive enough.
In this situation, he felt that "women will only affect the speed at which I become stronger", which was normal.
In the final analysis, external influences are just external. The sense of accomplishment brought by becoming stronger easily will only last until he reaches three digits. The essence of the final trial of mankind is three digits.
After three digits, relying on his ability to travel through time and space, he will grow much faster than other three digits in the box garden, but it is obviously not comparable to his current speed.
As his speed of becoming stronger gradually slows down, the sense of accomplishment brought by this growth will naturally decrease.
Now... According to Su Qing's own understanding, he is probably like someone who has just entered the stock market to trade stocks, and suddenly finds that he can win no matter how he trades. The sense of accomplishment from winning money makes him a little obsessed.
I don’t want to play games anymore, I don’t want to watch anime anymore, I’m not interested in women anymore, and I’ve forgotten about my family and friends for the time being.
As a four-digit number, Su Qing is not unable to control his heart, but he does not think that this needs to be controlled. Being a little obsessed with becoming stronger is a good thing for him now.
Anyway, once the initial enthusiasm fades, things will change back sooner or later.
On the premise of being able to recognize the pros and cons and making sure that you have the ability, controlling your own character and making use of your emotions is also a part of becoming stronger and is a required course for the strong.
It's no different than an athlete regulating their inner state and adjusting their condition before a competition.
However, Su Qing was somewhat surprised.
If he had not traveled through time, or had just traveled through time, and had met Artemis, he would definitely not have turned down such an opportunity.
Or maybe when he reaches triple digits and no longer needs this kind of enthusiasm to push him to become stronger in a short period of time, he will never tell the truth.
Stuck at this time...
Su Qing was a little amused.
I can only say, who would deliberately spend time looking for a woman during the exciting and tense career growth period!
Even if it is to prevent this short-term change in personality from really changing his character, finding women or having fun to stabilize his personality... there will be some purpose behind it.
But Astraea did not give up. If she could bring Artemis and Su Qing together, then she - at least in this world - would be protected after she went to the box garden.
As time goes by, she becomes more experienced. With hundreds of millions of years of experience, she can distinguish between what she doesn't want to do for the time being, what she is not interested in, and what she dislikes.
With her eyes flickering slightly, Astraea looked at Su Qing and sighed, "To expose the romance of an innocent girl who has been waiting for hundreds of millions of years... this behavior is not gentlemanly at all."
"In the world I live in, gentleman is not a nice word."
"Well, anyway, I'll care a little about Artemis's girlish heart." Astraea ignored Artemis's blushing face, clasped her hands together, and said to Su Qing: "Please, sir, comfort Artemis a little!"
"This girl is unexpectedly depressed right now."
The corners of Artemis' mouth twitched slightly, and her face turned red not because of shame but because of embarrassment, as if she was going to put a cross lock on Astraea.
But she had to endure it. She couldn't think of a way to keep the topic going, so she could only let Astraea do the talking.
Su Qing glanced at Artemis and tilted his head in confusion, not noticing that Artemis was depressed at all.
As if she had seen Su Qing's doubts, before Su Qing could open his mouth, Astralia waved her hand and explained, "The heart of a girl is more delicate than you can imagine!"
"...You are already an old woman who is hundreds of millions of years old. Why are you pretending to be an innocent girl?" Su Qing complained.
Astraea: "..."
Artemis: “…”
After opening her mouth for a long while, Astralia forced out a smile and said, "...Sir, are you still single?"
"So what?"
"With your strength, there shouldn't be many people who can remain single." Astraea said sarcastically, "Suddenly I found my destined lover, but I was told that it was just my body's instinctive reaction... Consider Artemis's thoughts for a moment. How could Artemis believe this answer?"
Artemis thought to herself, No, I already believe it.
Su Qing shrugged and said, "It was because of her thoughts that I didn't want to hide it from her."
"...That's not the question." Astraea didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "Anyway, sir, do you have time now?"
"some."
"So, are you planning a date?"
Astraea took a deep breath and said, "A date that proves that Artemis' feelings were indeed just physical instincts, not pure love?"
Artemis understood.
I see, so you're planning to approach it from this angle? As expected of you, Astraea.
As long as you get close to and understand each other, there will naturally be an opportunity. Whether it is using the love of the Moon Goddess as an opportunity or using it to prove that it was not love, both are good excuses.
As soon as Astraea finished speaking, Su Qing's brows slightly frowned.
His sense of crisis kicked in and he noticed something unnatural about the incident, but he quickly suppressed it.
...Well, with a simple analysis, he could guess the unnaturalness.
Immediately, a hint of helplessness appeared on Su Qing's face.
