I'll also work hard to conquer the dungeon today.

Chapter 476, page 2.1-5: The Crown: The Treasure of a Lost Dynasty
To be honest, Mu Yegui had thought of Dionysus, the god of wine, when she first saw the name, but since the concept of gods did not exist at that time, she gave up on the idea.

But things are different now; the gods of this era are real.

As for why Dionysus lost his divinity...

We may only find out later.

Something important must have happened to cause the fall of all these gods.

Mu Yegui slightly raised his eyes to look at the gray sky. The desert wind swirled the yellow sand, making the surrounding scenery blurry and making it impossible to distinguish the correct direction.

The gold ornaments on the veil and face jingled, but the sound of the strong wind drowned them out.

Dionysus, walking beside Mu Yegui, was completely unaffected by the sandstorm. He frowned and asked, "Don't you have anything else to say?"

Her long, wine-red hair was whipped around in the wind, revealing her smooth, full forehead and golden divine markings.

In this era, the best way to identify a deity was by looking at their eyes, because the eyes of gods are golden. Those with both golden hair and eyes are first-level gods, while those with only golden eyes are second-level gods—but this method of identification was only applicable to this era. After the gods disappeared, this method of identification became completely useless.

Mu Yegui touched the money pouch hanging at his waist and said thoughtfully, "How about I treat you to drinks when we get to the capital?"

"Are you taking my money to buy me drinks? Shameless!" Dionysus said angrily.

"Have we been discovered?" Mu Yegui blinked, glanced at the young boy, and asked.

“I’m not that stupid!” Dionysus turned his head to the side and said angrily.

"I can't see the road very well. Can you help disperse the sandstorm?" Mu Yegui asked suddenly, looking into the distance.

"Hey! You didn't even tell me your name before ordering around a god like this. Don't I, a god, have any dignity?" Despite saying this, Dionysus still obediently raised his hand, and the sandstorm that had been bothering them vanished into thin air the next second, as if it had never existed.

“Mu Yegui,” she said.

"Such a strange name, I'll reluctantly accept you as my servant... friend..." He originally wanted to say servant, but when he saw Mu Yegui's deep gaze, he subconsciously changed his words. He felt that if he really dared to say servant, he would probably be beaten up again.

“When did humans become so terrifying…” Dionysus muttered.

"I am not human," Mu Yegui said softly.

"That's good. I knew it. How could humans not respect the gods? Since you're not human, there's no problem." Dionysus said happily. Clearly, his only concern was that Mu Yegui was human. Hearing that he wasn't human, he had no more worries. After all, he was only protecting humans.

Mu Yegui suddenly remembered something and asked, "What kind of being is that king?" If it were Dionysus, who was a god, perhaps he would know about that king.

“I have never seen him, but I can sense his power. After all, I am just an ordinary second-level god. If his power is above mine, then he can only be a first-level god. But there is a rule among gods that they agree not to invade each other's territory. If they violate the treaty, they will be punished to death by the rules.” Dionysus frowned and pondered.

“Gods can die?”

"Of course gods die, but the death of a god is different. When a god dies, he loses his divine status and becomes human, and then the human dies." Becoming human from a god is the same as the death of a god, although he doesn't think there are any stupid gods who would knowingly break the rules knowing they will die. What is that if not stupidity?
“To be honest, it’s better not to get close to him. Even if I don’t get close, I can feel his violent, bloodthirsty power. He’s not an easy guy to talk to, and I might accidentally lose my life. After all, he’s not as easy to talk to as I am.” Dionysus frowned, his face full of resistance.

"None of the people in the capital are easy to mess with. The king has a most trusted priest named Lin Ya. Although he is just a human, his strength is exceptionally terrifying. One day when I came out of the tavern, I saw him riding a griffin and passing by in a hurry. Even just a glance, I could feel that his strength was almost on par with a second-level god."

To this day, he still doesn't know why that human was so powerful, or what secrets the royal capital holds.

However, since his territory was not in the capital, he had never thought of going to someone else's territory. Now, however, it was the first time he had left his own territory to go to an unfamiliar area.

"Lin Ya?" A name that didn't sound familiar to Mu Yegui. He was certain he didn't know this person.

He was probably the king's confidant mentioned in the mural, and the guy who later found the gem.

"You could say he's blind, but that's only because his eyes are covered with black cloth. However, his walking ability has absolutely nothing to do with whether he's blind or not." He actually looks quite handsome. I once imitated him when I was drunk, although the end result was that I hit my head against the wall and then fell fast asleep.

"He was originally a chosen one of the temple gods, but was later recruited by the king to become his confidant, at least that's what I've heard."

He had heard that the holy son of the temple was a formidable charlatan, even possessing the innate ability to foresee the future, which made other gods extremely wary. However, since it was the king's territory, those gods dared not approach it, let alone deliberately try to get close to the holy son.

To be honest, he was quite curious about that holy son. He wished he could meet him. He wanted to see what kind of person this legendary charlatan was and why, despite being just a human, he could still arouse the fear of the gods.

"What is the name of the holy son of the temple?" Mu Yegui frowned slightly, a bad feeling creeping over her. Could it be what she was thinking?

“It seems to be called… Lanlos…” Dionysus said slowly as he pondered.

Mu Yegui: "..." It's definitely an old acquaintance.

In this way, she understood a little bit of Laziness's purpose in teleporting her to the mural, but only a little bit. For the specifics, she would have to meet Lanlos in person.

Since the temple's holy son is rumored to have the ability to foresee the future, if she goes there, he should know the reason even without explaining her purpose, and may even have made preparations in advance.

Mu Yegui hesitated for a moment, but decided to save the four people who were about to be burned at the stake first. Then she could take the opportunity to escape to the temple to avoid the king's pursuers. This way, she would still have a reason to meet the holy son.
