229: Outer Goddess Sabrina Child
"Olexia, please don't blame A-Yu. In truth, this was all my idea; I was the one who intentionally tricked you into coming here."
Shang Wan Ning stepped forward and stood in front of Chen Yu.
She was worried that a rift might form between them, leaving behind a thorn that would be difficult to remove.
As the saying goes, true friends are valued for their quality, not their quantity.
The fact that the Goddess of Desire came as requested was enough to show that the White-Haired Loli held an extraordinary position in Olexia's heart.
It was certainly much deeper than those relationships that appear intimate on the surface but are actually as fake as plastic sisters.
For example, the afternoon sessions between Olexia and Sister Meng!!!
Seeing this, Olexia rolled her eyes without reservation, her expression of disdain seeming to say: "Is that it?"
Unfortunately, did she really dare to express her dissatisfaction so bluntly in front of the Underworld Empress?
Having stayed in the Netherworld for a long time, Olexia had also learned some fresh Eastern vocabulary and expressions.
Naturally, she knew what the so-called "tripping someone up" in the workplace meant.
That was why she responded with such caution.
"Your Majesty, if you want to find me next time, just contact Yaya directly. I don't believe you haven't left some kind of mark on my divine soul."
Olexia smiled and then subtly complained, "The divine soul can notify my true body directly; I would definitely receive it. Your~ Majesty~, please don't be so roundabout."
"At most, I'll concede a little bit of profit. After all, I've lost a few bottles of divine blood and a few divine herbs; I need to replenish my private~ stash~ money too."
Especially that last sentence, which Olexia practically squeezed out through her teeth; it was clear she was quite dissatisfied with Shang Wan Ning's actions.
She had originally been happy, thinking she could set up a card game and have some fun, only to be teased like this.
How could she not be annoyed?
Heh, even if a dog were here, it would probably "woof" a few times to protest!
Chen Yu looked up and saw Shang Wan Ning looking a bit guilty, realizing she had been tricked by this Shang the Skin Flayer, this Shang the Twist, once again.
You're so stingy you might as well die from it.
If This Old Lady tries to secure benefits for you again recently, I won't be surnamed "Chen," and I'll write my name backward.
Shang Wan Ning saw that the two people in front of her were a bit embarrassed and angry.
She pondered inwardly, thinking that they must be secretly kneading her like a little doll in their hearts.
However, business comes first.
Shang Wan Ning did not continue to provoke the two of them, but spoke with a serious expression: "Your Excellency, Goddess of Desire, I hope you can help the Underworld check this ancient ruin and see if there is anything special about it."
Olexia listened to Shang Wan Ning's 'soft request,' and her originally somewhat lazy eyes moved slightly.
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)✧
But she still walked forward unhurriedly and began to examine the ancient ruins carefully.
In fact, the moment she stepped into this place, Olexia had already sensed that the concentration of resentment here was abnormally high.
She had originally thought it was just a card game partner found by the White-Haired Loli; after all, the Underworld was full of hidden talents, and it was normal for there to be a few experts with resentment that she didn't know about.
But when she truly began to observe these ancient ruins, she realized that things were not that simple.
Olexia noticed the murals on the altar; judging by the Eastern timeline, they should be works from around the 1st century BC.
At that time, Country F was being occupied by the Dama people, and the Dama people's main belief was in Nasta Arabella.
"This should be an altar and Statue of the Deity built by the Dama people."
Olexia was thoughtful, "The Goddess of Nature then used natural divine power to suppress the resentment under the strait."
"Later, as the Dama Empire fell, the Goddess of Nature also gradually faded from Western history."
"She was the only main god who disappeared before the arrival of the Age of Dharma Decline. Even many of her own Dama believers thought that their goddess had already fallen."
Olexia paused, then continued: "I once heard my Father God mention a past event. Once, the five main gods joined forces to resist the invasion of outer gods from other planes."
"In that God War, Nasta Arabella clashed with the outer god Sabrina Child. That God War was extremely tragic; the Goddess of Nature suffered heavy damage, losing 80% of her natural origin, and could barely even keep her divine position."
She sighed.
"It was precisely because of this that the strength of the Goddess of Nature fell from the strongest among the main gods to a second-tier deity in an instant. And the Dama Empire also rapidly headed toward extinction within just a few decades."
Hearing this, Shang Wan Ning's voice suddenly changed, and she asked: "Since the strength of the Goddess of Nature was no longer what it used to be, why weren't her main god position and divine office completely carved up by you all later?"
Olexia touched her earlobe with some displeasure and muttered: "My Father God and the other main gods still care about their faces, after all."
A mocking smile appeared on the corner of Shang Wan Ning's mouth, and she snorted coldly: "The main gods might care about their own faces, but their subordinate gods might not."
"It's just that no one has found the whereabouts of the Goddess of Nature yet."
She thought to herself that in the past, in order to understand the Western deity system, she had worked overtime in the library to read a large number of books.
Among them was an ancient book called "Natural Scripture," which detailed the subordinate gods of the Goddess of Nature, including the Goddess of Abundance, the Goddess of Flowers, the four Season Gods, and so on.
A total of 16 subordinate gods, without exception, had all fallen and been stripped of their divine offices.
Olexia heard this and raised her eyebrows, seeming somewhat surprised by Shang Wan Ning's words.
"Your Majesty actually knows about these sordid things!"
The Goddess of Desire puffed out her chest, revealing a scene of snowy white, and her canine teeth appeared at the corner of her mouth.
The Underworld Empress knew the aftermath, and she was quite surprised.
She also felt a bit ashamed for the Western deities.
"However, the Goddess of Nature's whereabouts are unknown, and those subordinate gods who lost their backing naturally became targets coveted by other deities..." Shang Wan Ning touched her chin, thoughtful.
Chen Yu listened blankly as the two finished talking back and forth, and it took a while before she came back to her senses and summarized: "So, that means this ruin is likely the only place in the Mercury Plane related to the Goddess of Nature."
Shang Wan Ning's eyes smiled, and she immediately added.
"Not only that, it is also certain that this ruin must be related to the outer god Sabrina Child."
"Or perhaps, what is suppressed below is a 'clone' of Sabrina Child."
Shang Wan Ning was deeply convinced of this and asserted that it must be a clone below.
If it weren't, given the strength of the three of them, they would probably have been wiped out by the outer god Sabrina Child long ago.
Thinking of this, Shang Wan Ning summoned the son of heaven sword, then with a "swish," drew it and held it across her chest.
