Some gods, through their cultivation, gain a sudden enlightenment about everything in the world and suddenly become immortals who are wholeheartedly seeking the truth.
Therefore, in the world of Dicuo, it seems that the gods of Kyushu do not exist at all. Not only Kyushu, but even the gods of the island countries do not come down to the world often.
Those in the underworld are mostly gods from the Greek, Nordic, Indian and other systems.
After all, the conditions in the world of Dicuo are similar to those of immortals pacifying troubled times, or Buddhas exorcising demons, so there is basically no need to even think about it.
If a god has some bad intentions, and the immortals and Buddhas want to stop them... in the process of stopping them, a fight breaks out, and basically everything around them is destroyed.
Even if the god is killed, he will be resurrected after thousands of years.
These variants of "immortals" or "Buddhas" that originated from the source of gods can only pursue their own inner peace.
Honestly speaking, even if Artemis didn't know Soma, she wasn't surprised by Soma's indifferent temperament. In that area of India, the status of outsiders who preached the immortals was often very high.
If someone provokes the gods, other Indian gods may just watch and have fun, but if someone provokes the immortals... they will almost certainly be punished.
The Dicuo world and the box-shaped world are different. In the box-shaped world, the strong can kill the weak, and there are also humans who become immortals. There will also be battles between gods. Until the 21st century, a large number of small groups of gods had already been destroyed, and some gods would be forcibly converted.
But these do not exist in the world of Earth.
Compared with the proportion of immortals and Buddhas among the overall strong people in the box garden, the proportion of immortals, Buddhas and gods in the world of Dicuo is even smaller.
——I can only say that there is no elimination mechanism in the world of Dicuo. People will be resurrected after death, which has saved the lives of many gods.
Otherwise, even if gods still occupy the mainstream, the proportion of immortals and Buddhas should be raised.
Kyushu is the birthplace of immortals. India is relatively close and is the birthplace of Buddhism...Artemis has not heard of many Indian gods who can achieve great enlightenment. It takes extraordinary talent to cultivate oneself, but most of them have some experience in cultivation.
However, whether one can eventually achieve great enlightenment and realize the inner world depends on one's talent. In the case of gods, it is naturally beneficial to cultivate one's inner self, even if it is just a starting point.
Many of the gods in India have practiced spiritual cultivation, such as Shiva.
——This thing is like exercising. Whether you can achieve good results in the competition depends on your personal talent, but practicing more when you have nothing to do will definitely be good for your health.
Not many people can become immortals or Buddhas, but the mental state of some Indian gods is generally good. At least their illness rate is much lower than that of other gods.
Also, these people at least know that if they are really mentally upset and only focus on finding fun, the upset will only continue to accumulate. It is better for them to adjust their own hearts and get back on track as quickly as possible.
Ever since the gods in heaven sealed their divine power and came down to the mortal world, for a thousand years, the mortal world has been inhabited by all kinds of gods and spirits. Few immortals and Buddhas have come down to play. They don't have the time, nor the need to come down to the mortal world to relieve their boredom.
While practicing Buddhism and seeking the Tao, do not disturb others.
——And just help Uranus stabilize the situation in the upper realm.
If one wants to trick the God of Fun, it is necessary for the god to seal his power before going to the lower world, but the situation in the upper world cannot be chaotic.
If anything goes wrong on either side, the plan will fail.
Artemis knew a little about the situation in the Indian system, but she didn't know much about Soma. But when she heard that Soma was in heaven and didn't want to come down to the mortal world, Artemis believed it.
She also believed that Su Mo wanted to move after being too quiet and wanted to go to the mortal world.
Immortals and Buddhas all have their own goals to pursue, and will not take action unless they feel that it is beneficial to their goals. But Soma has not reached that level after all. Even if he regards brewing wine as his pursuit, it is normal for him to go to the lower world.
But after descending to the mortal world, Soma organized a clan just to provide him with materials for brewing wine...
Artemis felt something was wrong no matter how she looked at it.
Not only did she think it was unscientific, Lily also vaguely understood it. She frowned deeply, and a rare look of hesitation appeared on her face.
The girl murmured, "...Isn't this a clan event just for the materials?"
Artemis said without hesitation, "Of course not. It makes no sense for someone with a skill to be short of money, no matter how much that skill costs."
Just raise the price and the problem will be solved. It’s not like Su Mo’s magic wine can’t be sold.
Instantly, a surge of anger surged into the girl's mind.
"Then why is he doing this?" Lily rarely used respectful titles for her Lord God, and gritted her teeth and said, "What are we humans to you gods? Are you just here to laugh at us?"
The girl looked directly at Artemis, who sighed.
The girl's hesitation was too obvious.
Is her misfortune due to something she did wrong?
Of course not, it’s just because she was born in the Soma clan. Reality is never gentle, and you won’t be punished only if you do something wrong.
But people always have to find some excuses for their misfortunes in order to move forward. Lily couldn't blame anyone else, so she could only blame Su Mo, even if Su Mo had done nothing and even if such blame was unreasonable.
She suffered misfortune because of Su Mobo's inaction - just thinking about it would make her feel better.
Artemis patted Lily on the back and said softly, "To the gods, the people of the underworld are probably... children, right?"
"It is because I treat you as my children that Soma gave up the most convenient way to obtain brewing materials and chose to manage the clan."
Artemis thought so.
Lily bit her lip and closed her eyes.
How can she accept this kind of answer?
Her misfortune was due to Su Mo's inaction. Whether Su Mo didn't care about anything or had ill intentions towards the underworld, she accepted it.
While lamenting her own misfortune and her own misery, she can put herself in the position of the victim, which will at least make her feel better.
But - you told her that Soma is kind to the people in the lower world?
So what was her experience?
Isn't that unreasonable?
Lily did not ask this question out loud. She was so angry just now that she couldn't hold back her resentment. After all, this was not a question she should ask Artemis for the answer to.
But Artemis didn't care at all and thought: "Maybe there is some misunderstanding?"
She trusts Su Mo's moral integrity very much.
Although she was not familiar with Soma, in addition to being the god of wine, Soma also served as the god of the moon.
There may be some sun gods with bad personalities, but the moon gods are generally not that bad. At best, they are cold and indifferent, and they almost never have the intention to harm others.
As she spoke, Artemis turned her gaze towards Su Qing.
Su Qing was stunned, looking at the Moon God in front of him in confusion, and tried to say: "Is there...something?"
"You know about Soma, right?"
"What do you think I am?" Su Qing didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Um... a wishing machine?" Artemis said.
"I don't know everything." Su Qing shook his head and said, "Su Mo's situation... I remember that Su Mo seemed to be too sensitive!"
"After coming to the lower world, Su Mo fell in love with the children there and started to build his own clan."
"After the clan had achieved initial success, Su Mo rewarded the child with the divine wine he brewed... but the child easily became addicted to the divine wine, and Su Mo was very disappointed. In a fit of anger, he pretended not to care about the clan?"
Artemis was stunned for a while before she asked in confusion, "Is the divine wine so magical? Even adventurers can fall for it?"
"No, as long as they are level 2 adventurers, they have a certain resistance and will not be addicted to it." Su Qing said: "Moreover, if ordinary people drink the divine wine, as long as they don't drink it for a period of time, even the addiction to alcohol will fade away."
"What the hell is Soma doing?" Artemis couldn't hold it in any longer and complained, "Can't the divine wine be made after the children grow up a little? Doesn't he understand that children are not allowed to drink alcohol?"
"You ask me how I know, I'm not Su Mo." Su Qing spread his hands and complained, "Maybe... Su Mo is the type with a particularly fragile heart? Isn't that always the case? A beautiful woman who suspects that others fall in love with her just for her face, not for her true love, and is so picky about separating her appearance from herself completely."
Su Qing held his chin up and guessed, "Su Mo might have such concerns? Maybe he thinks it's meaningless even if the children can get rid of the magic wine after upgrading? Does it make sense for them to ignore the charm of the magic wine only when they are at level 1?"
Su Qing was also at a loss whether to laugh or cry. This was actually a very magical thing.
There are countless people in the world who can ignore the magic of divine wine.
Su Mo is a genius. He can brew magical wine, a product that makes people addicted, without using any divine power, just by combining the ingredients.
Moreover, there are no hidden dangers in any aspect.
Ordinary people will become addicted to it after drinking it. It’s not just that they get drunk, but the taste makes them completely addicted.
But after the adventurer's device is upgraded once, he will be able to resist that kind of magic power. If he does not drink for a long time, his addiction to alcohol will slowly fade away. After drinking more, he will gradually get used to the delicious taste of the magic wine and develop resistance.
——The way to best unleash the charm of the divine wine is actually the way the Soma clan is doing it now.
Members are given some magical wine every now and then to satisfy their craving for alcohol, but not to satisfy their addiction. Only a little is allowed each time so that the drinkers do not develop resistance.
It is clear that as long as the adventurer's weapon undergoes a transformation once, he will be able to resist the charm of the divine wine.
But Soma himself was extremely disappointed with the children because of this, and felt that children who could easily become addicted to the divine wine were worthless.
Su Qing could only say that Su Mo's awkwardness...was truly the affectation unique to the Moon God type.
Perhaps the Artemis of this world lacks that bit of pretentiousness? This world makes up for it in Soma, double it?
Level 2 adventurers can resist the charm of the divine wine, but Su Mo can become disappointed in his own family and think that the life of children in the lower world is meaningless because the level 1 adventurers cannot resist the divine wine.
and……
But after being disappointed, he could change back. In the original novel, after level 1 Lily drank the divine wine, she did not indulge in it. Su Mo instantly felt that he was okay again? He felt that the life of the child in the lower world was meaningful again, and that he was too irresponsible over the years? He started to manage the clan responsibly again?
This kindness, this entanglement, this moodiness, this hypocrisy...
Su Qing shook his head slightly and complained to Artemis: "Suma's personality is much more like the Moon Goddess than yours."
Artemis: “…”
All kinds of emotions were choking in Artemis' heart, and merged into one sentence in his mind.
Artemis: "Is he sick?"
Su Qing nodded slightly: "Maybe not light."
Chapter 68 Detour
The mark of a crescent moon and a wine glass is the symbol of the Soma clan. Behind this door is the residence of the Soma clan.
"This place is quite big," Artemis exclaimed.
Su Qing nodded slightly: "After all, it is the Soma clan that uses divine wine to lure people to join. It may not be strong, but the scale of the clan is indeed large enough."
Artemis looked a bit confused, and sighed deeply. She couldn't help but said, "I know about the Soma clan, why is no one here to take care of it?"
