Chapter 167: Matters of Seniority, Each to Their Own

"Aladdin, the princess thing might be off. I have to go to the Underworld in three days. Sigh~" Qin Muye said with a worried look on his face.

He hadn't even completed his main quest yet. Going through a fairy tale was one thing, but becoming the king of a kingdom was another matter entirely.

Aladdin's expression was filled with fear. You're alive and well, so why do you suddenly have to go to the Underworld?

"Uncle, is it because of the proposal to the princess?" Aladdin asked sadly.

Qin Muye nodded: "Pretty much."

If he hadn't gone to propose on Aladdin's behalf, he wouldn't have run into Hades and wouldn't have ended up with a father out of nowhere.

"What can we do? Can we use the treasures in the treasury to prevent you from going to the Underworld?" Aladdin said with a sob in his voice.

Qin Muye was silent for a moment, feeling that this young man's sincerity made it hard for him to refuse.

"Because of what you just said, I'll take you to meet King Sisyphus. Maybe you can marry the princess directly," Qin Muye said, gritting his teeth.

If this young man hadn't said that, Qin Muye would have definitely tried to back out, but this young man was a good person.

"What? Will that anger King Sisyphus? Maybe you should leave quickly, Uncle." Aladdin said.

"It won't. We're relatives," Qin Muye said, somewhat melancholically.

He hadn't expected that he would have to rely on family connections just as he was about to leave. Oh, and Aladdin was actually the same generation as his original self, the White Horse Prince, which was quite amusing.

"Relatives?"

Aladdin couldn't react quickly enough. How did they become relatives?

"Don't ask too many questions, just come with me."

Qin Muye took Aladdin back to the palace, where Sisyphus and Melope were a bit puzzled.

After Qin Muye gave a brief introduction of Aladdin's situation, the two of them looked solemn. This was unlikely to be a coincidence.

"So, you want my daughter to marry this young man, Aladdin?" Melope asked.

"That's the idea. If you can activate the divine power of Zeus within Aladdin, perhaps the Kingdom of Corinth will have a demigod on par with Hercules," Qin Muye said.

Although Zeus was promiscuous and heartless, his bloodline was genuinely powerful. Currently, Aladdin hadn't awakened his divine power, so he was just an ordinary person.

Qin Muye discovered that the Titan gods had no intention of keeping their bloodline a secret. Instead, they spread it far and wide, resulting in people and monsters with Titan blood being widespread.

Unlike other types of deities who might feel disgraced or offended by such behavior, the Titans were a rather peculiar race.

Melope didn't speak, waiting for Sisyphus to make the decision.

Sisyphus tapped his finger on the armrest of his throne, seemingly considering the possibility Qin Muye had presented.

"Let them meet first. If they truly fall in love, I will agree to their union," Sisyphus said.

He had noticed that Qin Muye had intercepted something Zeus had given Aladdin. However, given Qin Muye's identity, Zeus didn't dare to act, especially with Hades watching.

Past minor issues could be ignored, but now, if Zeus dared to kill Hades' only offspring, it would truly lead to a falling out.

More importantly, they had acted as intermediaries in this matter. If Zeus acted, even without evidence, Hades would be drawn to their side. Without the support of the King of the Underworld, Zeus and Poseidon would be in a difficult position.

Therefore, even if they wanted to kill, they couldn't act. Instead, they had to protect the other party.

However, just because Qin Muye was safe didn't mean that the Kingdom of Corinth would be safe. Once Qin Muye was taken back to the Underworld, Zeus would not let him off.

Aladdin represented a noble faith.

But now, Aladdin seemed to have been swayed by Qin Muye and had become one of their people.

Everyone, both gods and humans, knew that Hades and Zeus did not get along.

Therefore, Sisyphus believed that Qin Muye had already assumed the identity of the son of the King of the Underworld, which was why he acted this way.

Because of this, he agreed to let Aladdin and Bader meet. He also trusted Qin Muye's judgment and knew he wouldn't betray his own relatives.

When the two met, they immediately hit it off.

And that was it.

This situation made Melope suspect that Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, had intervened, otherwise, how could they have fallen in love at first sight?

But Qin Muye had a different opinion. He felt that it was more likely the work of the Three Fates rather than Aphrodite.

After all, this situation seemed more like fate than love.

However, in the end, Melope and Sisyphus did not say anything, essentially agreeing to the two of them being together.

As long as they could figure out a way to awaken the divine power of Zeus within Aladdin, even if Hera found out, it would be too late. Hera was indeed jealous, but Melope was no pushover. In terms of status, power, and influence, she might not match the Queen of Heaven, Hera, but her family was strong.

Theoretically, Hera and Melope's families were the same, but back then, Zeus's family had gone too far, leaving no one in her family who could help. They would be more than happy to see Zeus and his family destroyed.

"Aladdin’s matter, I will resolve as soon as possible. However, awakening the divine power of Zeus is not a simple task and will likely take some time," Melope said.

This was something that Melope had to handle, as she was a deity while Sisyphus was not.

Of course, the previous generation of Titan gods would not hesitate to give Zeus a hard time. From this, it was clear that Zeus was secretly preparing to move against the Ocean God Oceanus.

Therefore, they could not just sit and wait; they needed to have a countermeasure ready.

"I won’t be involved in this. I can’t afford to be involved. In two days, I will be heading to the Underworld," Qin Muye said straightforwardly.

Regarding Qin Muye's departure to the Underworld, Sisyphus and Melope were not surprised at all. They had known this all along. Hades would not allow his offspring to wander around the human world, especially one who had not yet become a god.

In fact, they were a bit puzzled as to why Qin Muye was not born a deity but was just a mortal.

After all, both Hades and the Ocean Goddess Rhea were Titans, and their offspring would naturally be deities with innate power.

But upon reflection, they realized that Qin Muye had been immersed in the River Styx from birth, which might have stripped away his divine power, though his authority remained, seemingly combining with the Underworld to form a new kind of authority. However, it seemed he had not fully mastered it yet.

They did not feel right asking about these matters, as the person in question had already been through enough. Bringing it up would seem very insensitive.

"Alright, may your journey be smooth. When you have the time, come visit the Kingdom of Corinth, and we will host a grand banquet for you, Dionysus," Melope said.

In Melope's eyes, Qin Muye belonged to their faction and would not be close to Zeus, which was why she extended the invitation.

"..." Qin Muye's heart skipped a beat. Why was the name of the wine god being placed on him again?

So far, the wine god had not been born, and it seemed that Hades had intentionally spread this name. This was going to be a problem.

He thought that if he refused to go to the Underworld in three days, others in this world would start calling him Dionysus.

This felt like being forced into a role he didn't want.

"Alright, I hope I can come back," Qin Muye said slowly.

Aladdin, standing nearby, seemed to realize that Qin Muye's trip to the Underworld was not as simple as it seemed, more like returning home.

Otherwise, Sisyphus and Melope would not have spoken in such a way, mentioning Qin Muye returning from the Underworld, and why his name had changed?

Aladdin had many questions, but he knew this was not the time to ask, so he kept them to himself.

"So, what will Dionysus do over the next two days? Stay in the Kingdom of Corinth and let me show you around, or perhaps meet some other people?" Sisyphus asked.

Qin Muye thought for a moment. The three-day deadline was just a pretext, and he had no close friends here.

"Then I will trouble King Sisyphus. I would like to see the grandeur of the Kingdom of Corinth," Qin Muye said flatteringly.

But calling it a kingdom was a bit of an exaggeration; it was more like a city-state. Most city-states called themselves kingdoms.

However, there were differences between city-states, and the Kingdom of Corinth was one of the standout ones, with a deep background that set it apart from other kingdoms.
