The Self-cultivation of the Passerby Male Protagonist

"...I think we can talk again."

Wu also pointed to the Gungnir that fell with him on the ground:

"Look, this is my weapon. The material is high-quality, the workmanship is good, and it has a penetrating effect. It cuts iron like mud, er, pokes iron like mud. How about I exchange it with you?"

"...it will cry."

Chang'e looked at Wu Ye with disdain, and then gently put him down:

"Okay, let's stop playing. It's impossible to give my blood to you, but this thing is okay."

Chang'e flipped her hands and took out a small and exquisite... spoon from behind.

"Wait, isn't this... the one I threw into the Santu River?"

Wu Ye was slightly taken aback, and raised his head to look at Chang'e in front of him in disbelief.

Chapter 52 Lost and Found

I vaguely remember that it was a sunny day, Takeya and Komachi, the god of death whom he just met, happily rowed on the Sanzu River, and then, Takeya threw something that seemed very important into the Santu River.

"So why is this thing in your hand?"

After going over and over again to confirm that this spoon is indeed the one thrown into the river by himself, Wu also said that he couldn't figure it out at all:

"Could it be that you fished it out of the Santu River? But I heard that the river doesn't seem to be swimmable."

"If you want to leave more marks here, I will definitely not be stingy to help you again."

Chang'e looked at Wu Ye angrily and said:

"Do you think I'll be so idle, and go to the ground just to fish the Santu River once? Although this thing is indeed valuable, do you think I'm so boring?"

"Then how did you get this thing?"

"Of course I picked it up by floating along the river."

"...Sorry, I didn't understand you, say it again?"

"Really, that, see?"

Chang'e pointed to the thousands of miles of starry sky above their heads with her finger, and Wu Ye looked in the direction she pointed. Except for the stars, they couldn't see anything special:

"You said you picked it up by floating along the river, so why did you point me to the stars?"

"Didn't you see such a long galaxy?"

"Hey, wait, is this the river you're talking about?"

Wu Ye looked up at the starry sky, then looked down at Chang'e, and instantly lost his composure:

"I said, isn't your setting too inconsistent with the Basic Law?"

"It's because you are too ignorant."

Chang'e looked at Wu Ye with contempt, and then explained:

"The Santu River was originally not called the Santu River. It had another name a long time ago. At that time, hell had not yet been established, and when the gods completely ruled the land, the name of the river was 'Tianhe'."

"Tianhe?"

"Yes, simply speaking, it is a river that can lead all the way to the sky. The galaxy you see above your head is the legendary Tianhe, which is the source of the Santu River."

"Wait a minute, this setting seems to have no scientific basis at all?"

"science?"

Chang'e glanced at Wu Ye not surprised, and said lightly:

"Among the people you know, how many exist that can be explained by science?"

Wu Ye was startled when he heard this, and smiled awkwardly:

"...Okay, if I didn't say it, you continue."

"Do you know why you can't swim in the Santu River?"

"Isn't it because it will sink directly? I heard from the god of death over there that the deepest part of hell is under the Santu River."

"That's right, but in fact, the original Santu River is no different from ordinary river water. There is a reason why it has become the River of the Dead like it is now."

Chang'e stretched out her hand to the starry sky, and in a trance, Wu Ye actually saw a strange scene, only to see that the starry sky really turned into a river, and ripples began to appear:

"The Tianhe River directly connects the ground and the moon. If it is not stopped, then anyone can go to the moon through it. This is the most important reason why the Tianhe River has become the current Santu River."

"You don't like people from the earth coming to the moon?"

As soon as Wu Ye’s words came out of his mouth, he felt that he was asking nonsense. The people of the moon are a group of clean freaks who hate filth. The ground is similar to the place of exile in their eyes. How could they like the people there? What about their cities?

"Can't say that either."

Unexpectedly, Chang'e did not give an affirmative answer as Wu Ye thought:

"During the Age of Gods, even though there were occasional unidentified gods who came to heaven, the Moon City couldn't say that they didn't welcome them. After all, even if they lived in a filthy place, they were still gods."

"Then why did you change Tianhe River to Santu River later?"

"Because the Age of Gods has fallen."
