Chapter 881 - 440: The Cold Winter Goddess’s Decision

But the Cold Winter Goddess is different.

She actively participated in the construction here as "Yunier."

This place... gives her a very different feeling.

The short time spent here is insignificant compared to the long years she has endured.

However, the experiences here are of special importance to the Cold Winter Goddess.

Here, she saw a scenery she had never before witnessed.

Here, everyone is striving.

Even though they came here for different reasons, after staying for a while, they silently changed their minds.

Everyone is thinking of moving forward in one direction.

The residents here are working together towards a hope never before conceived.

A dream where everyone can live freely and equally together.

Vitality.

She felt a vitality that caught her eye.

Although the construction here is far from complete, the vitality here is something she hasn’t seen for a long time.

In their hearts, there is hope.

They firmly believe that they can change the rules of the world—in this small corner.

Their naive ideas did not elicit ridicule from the Cold Winter Goddess, but rather greatly moved her heart.

This world has been stagnant for too long.

Since the Belief in Gods defeated the Ancient Gods three thousand years ago, this world has become dull once more.

The foolish cycle started again.

The Godslayers became the new gods, occupying the Divine Throne, and began a new rule.

Moreover, the Belief in Gods did things more excessively than their predecessors.

They, after walking the path of becoming gods themselves, then sealed the paths for those who came after.

Not completely sealed, but the difficulty was increased by countless times.

They controlled the dissemination of knowledge, suppressing the level of knowledge across the entire world to a certain limit, stifling all "dangerous" research.

Perhaps the crazy moves of the empire in those years left too deep an impression on the Ancient Gods, and these successors who inherited the Ancient Gods’ mantle also inherited this unease.

Vigilant and well-guarded.

Suppressing all potential factors that could threaten their rule.

There was once an organization called the "Secret Keeper," which recorded various knowledge... that too was eventually destroyed by a reactive True God.

The Cold Winter Goddess cannot say their actions were wrong, for she too was once an eye from the Ancient Gods to the Belief in Gods, and enjoyed the benefits they brought.

This might be the safest and best method for the Gods.

But, it’s really too dull.

This world has lacked new changes for three thousand years.

Dull.

It’s really too dull!

Back then, the Cold Winter Goddess was tired of the Ancient Gods’ rigidity and placed her hopes on that group of people, helping "them" become "the Gods."

And now... she is starting to feel tired of "the Gods" as well.

Compared to those who have also become dull, the Cold Winter Goddess is more willing to place her bet on newcomers.

This change in thought is entirely because she felt bored... and, perhaps, partly because of Herbert.

That overly young mortal has a kind of magical charm.

Not those superficial looks, charisma, or eloquence, but the way he gazes at others.

He looks at everyone equally.

Not like a Divine looking down on mortals from high above, but an equal gaze, treating everyone the same.

Whether they are strong Legendaries or humble slaves.

Whether they are beautiful or ugly.

No matter who, in his eyes, they are all the same.

At first, the Cold Winter Goddess didn’t know where his "arrogance" came from or why he had such an attitude.

But she is optimistic about his future.

And upon seeing his relationship with the Sun God, her doubts were finally explained—yet there remained a hint of hesitation, feeling his relationship with the Sun might not be as intimate as it appeared.

The Cold Winter Goddess did not share her suspicions with anyone in the Natural Pantheon.

Including Elda’s details, she didn’t share her thoughts with her sisters.

She didn’t want others to focus too early on here and hoped they would focus their gaze on Herbert himself.

The Cold Winter Goddess is willing to place her bet on him.

No.

She had already placed her bet.

Just like she once chose those mortals who took up arms against the Ancient Gods.

This time, she placed her bet on a naive mortal and his fragile, dream-like ideals.

Hoping he could bring new changes to this world, injecting fresh vitality as she wished.

She longs to see the day his dreams come true.

For this, she will protect him.

Not allowing anyone to disrupt Herbert’s plans prematurely.

"Even you, cannot."

"Master of Nature, if you come with ill intent, then don’t blame me for being merciless... hehe."

"I truly hope you won’t act recklessly."

After understanding everything, Yunier finally smiled.

With a cheerful glance, she turned to look at the Snake Girl behind her, unsure of how to show concern for a friend, and winked at her.

"Haha, got you!"
