Chapter 229: Too Horrible, Better to Return to the Underworld
Chapter 229: Too Horrible, Better to Return to the Underworld
The next day, after a brief review of the Pioneer Empire’s various technological documents, Qin Muye brought the entire alternate plane flying city to the Underworld from the fairy tale, and then casually found an uninhabited place to stop.
The Underworld has always been barren, making it difficult to find people, but there are vast areas with no one around.
After arriving, Hades naturally sensed something unusual right away and came to investigate, only to find that it was indeed Qin Muye.
Qin Muye did not stop him and let him in.
"Dionysus, I didn’t expect your territory to be so vast and even to be able to float in the air," Hades couldn’t help but feel a bit impressed.
He had indeed never been to Qin Muye’s territory, only heard about it, and it was somewhat unexpected.
"This can't compare to the Underworld. I only have this small place, unlike you who owns the entire Underworld, which is much more impressive," Qin Muye joked.
After leaving that oppressive and terrifying environment, Qin Muye naturally relaxed.
Although the Underworld was harsh, at least there was no immediate danger to life. Who knew what might happen if he continued to stay in the Horror Universe.
Hades shrugged, "You’ve been gone for so long, Persephone has been missing you a bit."
"There have been a lot of things going on. I should tell you, you’re lucky you didn’t go to the Horror Universe. It’s..." Qin Muye casually chatted with Hades.
Even if it was just for a rest, this place was barely considered his territory.
Just as he was talking, a loud crack of thunder was heard. The Underworld had no such thing, and Hades looked serious, "My divine brother, the king, has arrived."
Among the three brothers, Hades was the eldest, Poseidon the second, and Zeus the youngest.
"Perhaps you should stop him. I think he’s trying to forcibly break my floating city’s mystic lock. If he breaks it, it will be quite troublesome to repair," Qin Muye suggested.
Hades nodded, took out his trident, and summoned a gust of dark wind, instantly leaving Qin Muye’s territory.
The sound of a fierce battle could be heard outside. It seemed they had engaged in combat.
Judging by the sounds, it was clear that Zeus was at a disadvantage. In the mortal world, Hades might not have been a match, but here in the Underworld, Hades was the King of the Underworld.
The fight didn’t last long, and Qin Muye knew that Zeus wasn’t there to fight but to seek benefits. This was just a means to an end.
After the fight, Hades brought Zeus in with a scowl.
"Dionysus, my nephew, I heard you have been waging wars in distant lands, which is quite worrying," Zeus said upon meeting.
Qin Muye put on a smile, "Greetings, King of the Gods. With Mount Olympus as my backing, I don’t feel there’s anything to worry about."
He meant to say that if Zeus wasn’t contributing any effort, he shouldn’t expect any benefits.
Zeus naturally understood Qin Muye’s true meaning, but as a ruler, having a thick skin was an important skill, so he pretended not to notice and said, "Ha, you’re right. All the gods of Mount Olympus will help you."
"King of the Gods, you’re too kind. Come, have some tea," Qin Muye casually poured tea for Hades and Zeus.
The three of them chatted casually. Qin Muye knew that this visit was just to build a relationship and gauge how long Qin Muye would stay here.
This situation also alarmed Gaia. The Earth Mother’s relationship with Zeus was not good, but because she was too powerful, Zeus had no way to deal with her.
After all, she was the Earth, and even the King of the Gods could not interfere with her.
It must be said that the gods were quite well-informed. Besides Gaia, Hecate, Poseidon, Nyx, and other gods also came, seemingly all wanting a piece of the pie.
Within half an hour, all the Titans with any status gathered together.
Some were probing for information about Cronus, others were inquiring about the alternate world, and some even wanted to become gods or lords like Qin Muye.
Qin Muye was a bit unskilled at dealing with the situation, but he decided to take it one day at a time. He casually and superficially answered their questions.
Each of their ideas seemed quite good, but Qin Muye had no intention of bringing this group of Olympian gods along. He would let them squabble among themselves.
After the previous generation of gods, led by Cronus, took away his siblings and offspring, a massive power vacuum appeared in the entire pantheon. Although the upper echelons remained unchanged, still consisting of Zeus’s siblings and children, the middle and lower ranks were quite different, with many vacancies.
They had been dividing the power among themselves recently, but the Underworld had lagged behind a bit. There were only a few people, and none of them could leave.
Thus, the power in the Underworld neither increased nor decreased. The Underworld had significant power vacancies, but few were willing to come. The Underworld was a barren land. If they did come, the treatment would be decent, except for the constant overtime work and harsh environment.
The first gathering ended quickly, with everyone eating and drinking to their hearts' content, their faces beaming with joy.
The food and drinks in Qin Muye’s territory were naturally far superior to those in the fairy tale world. Modern food was much more delicious than ancient fare, and the drinks were no exception.
What could they have eaten? While it was called Greek mythology, it was essentially a fairy tale, so the food was rather limited. Qin Muye had eaten it all before.
Did they really think there were things like dragon liver and phoenix marrow? Or that monster meat was delicious? Impossible. Most monsters were poisonous, and eating them would result in immediate death, not a feast.
This wasn’t a fantasy world where higher-level monsters tasted better. That was nonsense.
The Titans ate ordinary plants and animals. Most monsters had Titan blood, so eating them would be like eating their own kind.
As for so-called spiritual energy or magic power, that was even more absurd. Different worlds had different environments.
There was no spiritual energy in fairy tales, only the authority of the gods. The Horror Universe only had hellish powers, and Wen Country had no energy factors, just a world of technology with a bit of national art mixed in.
A sword from the previous dynasty couldn’t cut officials from the current dynasty. No matter how powerful the techniques from a fantasy world were, they wouldn’t work on a magical continent, as the external energy environments were different. Absorbing the wrong energy could result in immediate injury or death.
The rules of one world were not shared with another, and it was impossible for all worlds to use the same measurement system.
If all worlds used the same system and all techniques were universally applicable, with the same energy environment, that would be impossible. If such a strange thing did happen, there would definitely be a problem.
Like the meditation techniques of the mages on the magical continent, which only worked in Wen Country due to its unique environment and Qin Muye’s artificial elements. If used in the Horror Universe, it would absorb hellish powers instead of elements.
Elements could be converted into magic power, but hellish powers were unpredictable. If they entered the body, one would likely become a killer or a malevolent spirit controlled by hell.
After sending off the Titans who had eaten and taken things, Qin Muye felt relieved. These items were not valuable, and using them to build relationships was worth it. If he needed help in the future, it would be easier to ask.
While Zeus was unhappy about Qin Muye sending Cronus to another world to be a god king, he had indirectly helped Qin Muye by solving a potential problem. Given Qin Muye’s high value, the resentment was suppressed. In the face of benefits, many things could be overlooked.
“Finally, they’re all gone. They caused quite a commotion. Never mind, I’ll take the interdimensional teleportation channel to the dungeon, place the special buildings, and upgrade them all to level 5. Then, I’ll go explore the new server.”
Qin Muye knew that the magical continent server was basically ruined and would no longer have any events, significantly reducing its value.
The development of a lord depended on events. Without events, rapid growth was impossible. Qin Muye’s success was due not only to his own efforts but also to the events in "Lords of the Age."
