Lily also had a confused look on her face. How could her own God... communicate with her? It was so irrelevant?
Lily took a deep breath and asked, "For those who join the clan later, will it be considered as a transaction?"
Soma nodded and said "yeah", and just as he opened his mouth, he saw Artemis put the arrow on the bow.
Su Mo decisively shut his mouth, was silent for a moment, and said: "That was a deal written in black and white."
Lily said, "What about the others?"
She thought to herself, it’s over, my own god might be suffering from Alzheimer’s.
She asked whether the people who joined the clan later were a trade. Doesn’t that mean they were the people who originally joined the clan?
Those who took the initiative to join the clan...who cares?
Knowing that joining a clan means one has to bear the capriciousness of the gods, and this is common knowledge in Orario and even in the entire underworld, those who do not investigate the truth about the clan they want to join, and those who do not have the ability to investigate but join anyway at the risk of doing so, aren't these all personal choices?
Lily has no sympathy for those who don't care about their own lives. She just thinks they deserve it.
You have to bear the consequences of your own decisions and cannot blame others.
But what about people like her whose parents belong to the Soma clan? She was born with the only option left to her: to stay in the Soma clan.
Su Mo said, "I'm watching."
Lily let out a long breath, resisted the urge to take out her magic sword and hit Su Mo, and asked, "Are you just looking?"
"if not?"
Su Mo looked at her in confusion and asked, "What else can we do?"
Lily: "..." I...
Can't be angry, can't be angry.
Lily repeated the words in her heart, calmed herself down, and said through gritted teeth: "Have you ever thought about doing something?"
"I thought about it." Su Mo said.
"And then?" Lily asked, thinking, could it be that when her God was about to take action, he was stopped by the leader? Then she...
Su Mo said: "Still thinking about it."
Su Qing grabbed Lily's collar and lifted up the dwarf. Lily, who was caught by her, took out the magic sword from her waist and was about to attack Lai Sumo.
Being pulled by Su Qing, he kept shouting "Don't stop me" and "Let me go" and so on.
Lily stared at her own arms and legs, but she had no strength to do anything. She tried to resist but couldn't even touch Su Qing.
Su Qing waved his hand and said, "Deicide is a serious crime, be careful."
The concept of divine power is actually not absolute.
It is difficult for people in the lower world to kill gods, but it is only difficult. Within the range of divine power, it is subjectively difficult for people in the lower world to kill gods.
But you can use props, such as placing explosives on the path of the gods.
Or maybe...his mental state is extremely unstable.
Divine power is a kind of force. In the hands of a god who exerts his full strength, it can interfere with reality.
For example, Uranus used the Tower of Babel as a ritual altar and was able to suppress the dungeon through divine power.
But at least for individual gods, when they do not use altars to amplify their divine power, their divine power is just like momentum and cannot interfere with the material world.
In order to seek revenge, Liu violated the rules of the guild, but he was unable to kill the gods of the dark faction... One of the most important reasons was actually time.
When her clan was annihilated, if the spirit of the person involved was present at the scene, she would have no choice but to take action.
After the divine power is sealed, it is only effective against living things, and under the premise of being effective against living things, there is a derivative.
When a person's inner emotions explode and he acts impulsively, he cannot control his own body and divine power cannot take effect at all.
The power of Shenwei...is more about defense, not about preventing the gods from dying from attacks by people from the underworld.
And it can’t be prevented.
What we are guarding against is the subjective malice of the parties towards the gods.
For example, some royal nobles took a fancy to a certain goddess and did not even care that her soul would return to heaven after death. They thought that death was worth it and forcibly abducted the goddess.
For example, secretly kidnapping a certain god and forcing him to mass-produce adventurers for him until he suffers from severe blood shortage.
In short, there are as many methods as you want that do not endanger lives but can force others.
The existence of Shenwei is more about guarding against these things.
In the underworld, it occasionally happens that gods are accidentally killed in a fit of rage.
The person involved did not have the subjective idea of "I want to kill God". His brain was blank due to the emotional outburst, so the power of God acting on his consciousness naturally had no effect.
Su Mo was a little confused. He said he was still wondering what the problem was. Why did Lily react so strongly?
After struggling in Su Qing's hand for a while, Lily took a deep breath, nodded slightly to Su Qing and said, "Sorry for bothering you. Thanks to you, I have calmed down now."
Su Qing put Lily down and said, "Deicide is a serious crime. You are still young, so don't be too impulsive."
Lily said, "Thank you for your advice."
Su Qing said: "I am not young anymore, you can let me do this kind of thing for you."
Lily laughed dryly and thought to herself, you really like to joke.
Su Mo turned his head and stared at Su Qing.
Su Qing nodded slightly to Su Mo and thought, on this kind of issue, you are so sensitive to a signal...how can you be so bad at managing your clan?
Lily let out a sigh. Her life was obviously not easy, but she sighed more today than in the past week.
The little human girl gritted her teeth and asked Su Mo: "Are you just watching and thinking about what to do?"
Su Mo nodded slightly and asked, "What should we do?"
"Then you'd rather continue like that than do nothing?" Lily's voice became sharp.
"Even if we do nothing, it's better than continuing to make mistakes," Su Mo said.
Lily bit her lip, wanting to stab Su Mo more and more.
Our own God, this is too irritating, isn’t it?
Lily took several deep breaths and said with a stern face, "Then may I ask, Master Su Mo, what perfect plan have you come up with? Can you tell me about it?"
Su Mo thought, what is there to say? I have already rejected those plans, why should I bring them out to embarrass myself?
Thinking of this, Soma was about to shake his head, only to see Artemis putting the arrow on the bow.
Artemis thought to herself, if you keep using the same old tricks, the best archer in heaven will shoot you to death today.
Surrendering to Artemis' actual actions, Soma thought to himself, although this is a bit of a waste of time, just say it.
…Women are so complicated. Even goddesses are so unreasonable.
After complaining in his heart, Su Mo said honestly, "The children are immersed in the divine wine. I have thought about popularizing the divine wine in the clan. As long as everyone can afford the divine wine and everyone drinks enough of it, there will naturally be no incidents of the clan framing each other for the divine wine. No matter how good the wine is, people will gradually get used to it after drinking it too much."
Su Mo thought to himself that the premise was that he had deliberately adjusted the divine wine for the people in the lower world to weaken its addictiveness.
He wasn't really that good at brewing wine for the children of the netherworld.
When he was in heaven, he gave his divine wine to all the gods, especially those who were very bored and only wanted excitement, and even actively sought strong liquor that could make them addicted.
Soma is better at making the intoxicating properties of alcohol reach their extreme. Anyway, the gods in heaven don’t care about the so-called addictiveness at all, rather than weakening the strength of the alcohol.
Not to mention being addicted to wine, there are even many gods in heaven who are addicted to the charm of the goddess of beauty. They allow the goddess of beauty to bewitch them and completely give up control of their bodies.
At least after indulging in the charm of the goddess of beauty, you won’t feel bored.
Anyway, you will be resurrected after every death, and you will regain consciousness after resurrection. Moreover, the goddess of beauty needs divine power to seduce other gods, and it is difficult to maintain it for a long time. There will always be a day when you can find yourself again.
The fine wine that Soma made for the children in the underworld has been collected.
"Then why not?" Lily asked.
Su Mo said: "No money."
Lily: "..."
So true.
The dwarf girl thought to herself, that’s right, the most important thing about the divine wine is naturally Soma’s brewing technology, but the materials are not cheap either. If all the clansmen are to get used to drinking the divine wine, the money needed for the materials would probably be an astronomical figure.
Lily thought to herself, however, this at least proved that their Lord God was really trying to find a solution, but the solution might be a little stupid.
The little human girl continued, "And then? Have you thought of any other solutions?"
Su Mo said: "If we completely stop brewing the divine wine and stop drinking it for a long time, the clan will wake up from its addiction to it, and there will be people who still miss it. But as long as I don't brew the divine wine, maybe everything will return to normal."
Lily blinked and thought, this is indeed a good idea.
He quickly asked, "Is there any problem with this method?"
Su Mo asked in return: "...Those who are obsessed with the divine wine, do they think it would be better to return to their daily lives without the divine wine, or would they be happier to run around for the divine wine, just to have a sip of the divine wine every once in a while?"
Lily thought to herself, of course it would be better to return to daily life without the magic wine - she thought so, but couldn't say it out loud.
In the clan, most people are madly pursuing the divine wine, but have they never offended the clan leaders and been cut off from the divine wine?
Lily had drunk the divine wine and knew its magical power.
After getting rid of alcohol addiction, the person will sober up from the intoxication and will not have alcohol addiction or any other sequelae.
But...if someone insists on immersing himself in it, how can outsiders interfere?
Lily could probably guess the reason. After she got rid of the divine wine, she regarded it as a taboo because she valued her own life.
... has been cultivated since childhood.
As a young child, she was forced by her parents to beg on the streets. However, she did not feel that life was meaningless. Instead, the hunger and fullness and repeated near-starvation strengthened her desire to live.
She felt that her life was very important and she wanted to live very much, so she regarded the sacred wine as a taboo and did not want to touch it at all.
But many people do not have that kind of persistence. Even if they occasionally sober up from the magic wine, they will still miss the taste of the magic wine.
Anyway, there is nothing to be nostalgic about in reality. There is no possibility of promotion in this lifetime, and your partner has cheated on you/the child is not your biological child/and you have accomplished nothing in half your life. It is better to immerse yourself in the magical wine.
At least the moment I drink the wine, I can feel that I am still alive and that my life is meaningful.
Addiction is mostly a disorder of the nervous system, accompanied by withdrawal reactions, and it is difficult for the person to control himself and quit.
