I'm Really Strong

"Welf."

"...Lord Hephaestus?"

Hephaestus opened his mouth, then shook his head immediately.

"Forget it, it's alright."

Welf frowned suspiciously.

"Go, get ready for the war game. You don't want to win, but at least you have to play with style." Hephaestus squeezed out a smile, then faced the rabbit, and gently nodded his head with his hand, which was regarded as a Little tip.

However, seeing the puzzled expression on the rabbit's face, Hephaestus knew that his reminder was unsuccessful, so he could only sigh helplessly.

"Go get busy."

"……Yes."

Welf responded, and immediately left with the rabbit.

After the two left, Hephaestus suddenly made a sound in the empty room.

"What do you think."

In the shadow of the room, Bai Ziqing in a wine red coat appeared in Hephaestus' vision.

"I feel that I'm hiding it well. In theory, you shouldn't be able to find it." Bai Ziqing grinned.

"I just vaguely felt that you were there, but I didn't expect you to be there." Hephaestus smiled, and then the smile disappeared without a trace, showing quite a lot of doubts.

"Actually, I have only arrived for a few minutes. I just saw that they were seeking the guidance of God's will, but they didn't show up."

"... Divine will, heh."

Hephaestus laughed at himself.

Bai Ziqing walked neatly in front of the God of Forging, looked at the model of the steam locomotive made by Hephaestus, thought for a while, and then opened his mouth.

"You feel that the gods have interfered too much in the mortal world, and at the same time you feel that this is wrong, but you can't figure it out: 'Obviously we and the gods came to the world with love for children, from the heart Guide the children, but why does it feel like we are doing something wrong? Where is it wrong?'”

Hephaestus stared at Bai Ziqing with one eye.

And Bai Ziqing simply spread his hands.

"It's simple, longevity."

"...lifespan?" Hephaestus did not expect Bai Ziqing's answer to be so simple.

"Because the "rightness" of the gods is not for mortals. "Bai Ziqing said naturally, "Your lifespan is calculated in hundreds of millions of years.But what about mortals?Only a mere hundred years.

"The long-lived species has the way of the long-lived species, and the short-lived species has the way of living the short-lived species.

"You are carefree in the heavens, and even fool other gods to kill each other when you have nothing to do. You don't have to worry about food, clothing, shelter, and transportation. Even if you die, you only need to wait for ten thousand years to be resurrected—compared to billions of years. A lifespan of one year, ten thousand years is actually not that long, is it?

"The pace of the gods is too slow.

"The gods really love and guide children from the bottom of their hearts, and mortals take it for granted that they worship the gods above them. Then the result is——

"A group of short-lived species that live for hundreds of millions of years live according to the life rhythm of long-lived species that live for hundreds of millions of years.

"As long as the gods are still in the lower realm, human beings will always be just a group of children who can't grow up, and can only live forever in the swaddling womb of their parents called "Gods", with a pacifier in their mouth! "

If the human beings in this world are sick, then the name of the disease is love——

— Human love.

——Human beings are evil.

"...The love of the gods to human beings is the evil that the gods committed to human beings unconsciously."

Hephaestus said to himself.

Bai Ziqing understood Hephaestus' eyes.

"Hephaestus, do you think that the gods should return to the heavens? It can only be said that it is unrealistic, not to mention that there is still a dungeon to deal with. In this case, I think that compared to other leisurely gods, You can try to switch your roles yourself."

"...my role?" Hephaestus looked puzzled.

"Try to let go of the burden of parents and become a guide, Hephaestus." Bai Ziqing said.

"There are already enough gods who want to be parents of mortals, and there is no shortage of you, but realizing that the favor of the gods will drown their children, you are the only god I have observed for the time being.

"Thousands of years, the civilization of the whole world has not taken a step forward.

"So when the next millennium comes, what kind of future will we usher in? It depends on you, God of Forging, you have the talent and power to guide all beings to change, to the stars and seas. You don't even need the next millennium, Maybe just a short... 400 years?

"That guy Hermes is waiting for a hero who can resist God's will, and what he longs for is bottom-up change.

"There should be a lot of guys like him, but how long do they have to wait? Will Bell Clowney be this guy? Maybe yes, but how far can he go? How long can he live? After he dies, the next When will people who can resist God's will be born? In the next millennium?

"I told a group of children, don't try to wait for illusory miracles, create miracles yourself.

"You can learn from Hermes and wait for miracles. You can also create miracles yourself, Hephaestus. As for how to choose, it's up to you."

Bai Ziqing picked up the steam locomotive made by Hephaestus and played with it.

Hephaestus took a deep breath: "...what should I do?"

Then he put down the model and spread his hands.
