"I think you haven't considered whether that thing might look... rather...unpleasant?"

Aaron didn't want to dampen Xiao An's enthusiasm, but he still felt a little resistant to the idea of ​​such a strange creation.

He still hopes that species will evolve naturally, and that delicious food will emerge under such circumstances.

Humans can pursue technology and exert their initiative within it.

But there's no need to create something purely for eating.

After eating, Anda didn't wipe his hands, but just wiped them on the tablecloth, then picked up the wine jar next to him and poured it into his mouth:

"Gulp, gulp—ha, good wine always makes people feel good, no matter what. Alright, that thing is for eating, it doesn't even have a brain, you don't need to worry about it to that extent."

"Xiao An, look, your brother is just too worried. If chicken wings are delicious, what's wrong with making that chicken grow a few more wings!"

The old man made the decision. He assured Xiao An that he would definitely research and create such a beast, and then they would enjoy it together with his Primarch brothers and even the Astartes 40,000 years later.

They just wouldn't give it to his brother.

Aaron was helpless as he listened to these words, which sounded like a child throwing a tantrum.

The elders simply ate and drank in peace, occasionally casting pitying glances their way.

This child has suffered.

After the meal and drinks were finished and the temple servants had cleaned the table, Athena finally spoke and asked:

Where are you planning to go next? Or will you continue along the Arctic Circle?

Anda shook his head and said, "I'm not going. It's freezing cold there, and there's not much to eat. I was planning to take my sons to see the aurora, but then your body floated out from behind us. What bad luck."

Aaron asked doubtfully, "But we just finished building the cabin there, and we'll be staying there for quite a while."

"Besides, Marum is there too, we can't just leave him there unattended, can we?"

Xiao An also shouted:

"Yes, yes, Uncle Marum is still enjoying the Arctic winds."

Adachi gave him a look that said, "Can't you understand?"

“Marum is an Astartes, he is invincible in this world, and he can come back if he gets lost. I am not willing to give up such a good steward.”

"Don't worry, I'm so glad that you don't doubt my laziness at all."

Everyone looked at him with disdain, and even Xiao An couldn't bring herself to praise her good father.

Yes, as the housekeeper, Marum brought about tremendous changes to the family. At least the fifth son looked much better and had the added task of washing the donkey every day.

How could the old man abandon such a good tool?

Anda wanted to wipe his hands on the tablecloth again, as there was still some oil left.

But the servants were quick and removed the tablecloth, leaving the old man standing there awkwardly with his hands raised.

"Sigh, we're all family, I'm practically the master of the house!"

The old man was very dissatisfied, and the servants replied:

"The matriarch has made the division of property. The temple property belongs to all citizens, but only temple staff and Macedonian citizens can use it."

Anda slammed her hand on the table in anger: "What kind of mess is this? I haven't even divorced her yet, and she's already divided up all the assets. Aaron, look at how terrifying your mother is!"

Unfortunately, no one responded to Anda's performance, even though his expression, in retrospect, could be considered one of the best performances in history.

This may be the basis for the ability of human emperors to reveal their various faces to their children, and even to countless others.

He is indeed an excellent performer.

Once the audience becomes familiar with his performance, all his actions will become meaningless.

Perhaps he should play the role of a high and mighty god, then he wouldn't have to worry about anything.

The immortals were not interested in the division of Aaron's family's property; they only needed to determine Aaron's next journey.

Hades will return to the seaside town to observe how his Hades cult will ultimately evolve.

This is one of the few aspects of the development of human sociology that he can understand. He simply cannot design social systems like Shiva and his ilk.

It's like he only plays the script set by others, but that's enough for Hades to stay awake for a long time. It's unknown how many years it will take before he gets bored again and falls back into sleep.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Anda got up and left, not knowing where he was going.

Xiao An still longs for her wild beast, the one that represents all the good things in life, the appetite.

Sigh, he really can't forget what his father just said about something as big as an entire planet.

He'd be willing to live there for the rest of his life!

The old man returned after a while, his face bearing a despicable expression of triumph, and he refused to say what he had done.

Instead, he stood behind Aaron, put his hand on his son's shoulder, and said casually:

"Aaron, could you get me a copy of your illustrated guide too?"

Aaron asked, puzzled, "Haven't you always claimed to be the pinnacle of human wisdom and knowledge? Why are you suddenly thinking about learning and summarizing?"

Anda shook his head and said, "No, I plan to write down all the things that people who have given me a bad look have done in a small notebook, and then add how I will retaliate."

It is said that the dwarves have a book of hatred, and he, as the ruler of mankind, must also have one.

It seems that his two sons are currently unable to avenge him, leaving Anda with no other choice but to resort to this desperate measure.

He added, "Don't worry, it won't cause much harm, it's just quite insulting. Humans should be prepared to be retaliated against when they provoke me."

Athena crossed her arms in front of her and said disdainfully:

"That's why people say that Zeus, the king of the gods, is petty, and he truly lives up to his reputation. I used to think that this was mostly artistic embellishment, or a flaw that Erda deliberately created. I never imagined that you would be so petty when mortals offended you."

Anda chuckled and said, "You don't understand. This is also a way to establish a relationship with mortals. If I don't remember more of these things that are hard to get me emotionally moved, I'll become a cold and heartless person in the future, and you'll all criticize me again."

Aaron was somewhat moved by these words and even had an impulse to help the old man commit evil, wanting to find him a blank illustrated book.

Seeing this, Anglong said with dissatisfaction:

“Brother, I want one too. I’ve memorized quite a few recipes, but they’re all in my head. If they could be written down in a book, I could send them to my children.”

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the aunts and uncles present changed.

It's one thing for Neos to have sons he's never even met, but how come such a young son already has offspring?

That doesn't make sense. Does it mean that the fate of their immortal offspring has been plundered by your family?

However, it quickly dawned on him that this referred to Astartes.

Athena planned to return to Athens after breakfast and have no further contact with the two eccentric couple except for her nephew.

She rose gracefully and first thanked him earnestly:

“Nyos, I thank you and Erda for your efforts in bringing me away from the clutches of the evil god.”

Anda waved his hand casually and said, "Oh, we're all family, saying thank you is too formal."

He had barely finished speaking when he suddenly realized what he had done, abruptly stood up, and hid behind the chair:

"You're not going to take this opportunity to teach me a lesson again, are you?"

That woman is too cunning. She claims to be the goddess of wisdom, but she's all about sneak attacks!

Athena sighed, knowing she couldn't be polite to this humanoid creature, and said disdainfully:

"At least our hatred is now balanced. Until you do something new disgusting, we're even. Goodbye."

"Oh, and please give my thanks to Koz. Without him, I don't know how long I would have been lost in the Silver Labyrinth."

After the goddess finished speaking with a carefree air, she bid farewell to Hades, tossed her silver-gray hair, put on her cloak, and left, disappearing into the cold winter wind.

Anda finally breathed a sigh of relief, sat back in his chair, and looked at Hades:

"Only a few of us old folks are left. I wonder if Olperson is going to Sparta or Persia?"

Olpeson was simply drinking leisurely; he didn't even want to touch the flesh that Neos had touched, and casually remarked:

"Keep heading east, try to circle the world, and see what you end up encountering."

This was the first time Li Dan had spoken today. He said, "Then we can go the same way. I originally thought Shiva would come with me, but he went to the New World with Apollo, and I happen to need a companion."

Adachi had no concept of respecting the elderly or caring for the young, and complained:

"You old man, with your aging arms and legs and almost all your teeth falling out, you still want to run around everywhere. Old man, stretch out your beard so I can pluck it."

Although he was mainly jealous of others having smooth and shiny hair, he also felt uncomfortable looking at Li Dan's beard and always thought about going over and pulling a handful to see how it felt.

Li Dan calmly replied, "You're clearly a human being, but you act like a monkey."

Anda really reached out to touch Li Dan's beard, and said with dissatisfaction:

"What's wrong with monkeys? Aren't humans evolved from monkeys? Maybe there are immortal monkeys somewhere who are our ancestors."

Li Dan moved his stool further away and sighed, "You're bound to run into something sooner or later, something that will teach you a lesson for your mischievousness."

Anda reached out but failed, so he picked at his teeth with his fingers while leaning back in his chair.

“It’s alright. I have many sons in the future. Even if I’m paralyzed in a hospital bed, with twenty or so sons, half of them will be filial and enough to take care of me.”

Sigh, this guy's only hope is to have many children and lots of good fortune.

As if remembering something, Li Dan, resembling an enlightened old Taoist priest, spoke leisurely:

"You should abandon the beast you just mentioned that you wanted to create. There is a reason for the natural order. Creating such a beast would bring more disaster than benefit."

"You're thinking of eating the beast, but what if that beast doesn't even have the most basic intelligence? In the end, all that's left is the instinct for survival—eating and reproducing. Could it then turn around and see other life forms as food?"

Adachi was nonchalant; he hated being lectured by the old man, but he just kept going:

"Okay, okay, I'll take it easy. Oh well, it's just a big chicken leg, what's so difficult about dealing with it?"

Thirty thousand years later, in Neptune's orbit, in a detention room, the skeptical Xiao Pei, who had just been slapped black and blue, was squatting in a corner, lost in thought.

Although it wasn't the old man who beat him this time, it was the beast he researched that gave him a beating.

He knew that the image of that beast was still etched in his mind: a fleshy man with tendons piled up to meet the standards of being eaten, emerging from the massive, ferocious body of the ocean beneath the ice.

These meats are best suited for deep-frying, but they coalesced and delivered a punch to Peturabo.

It felt like being slapped in the face by a fish's tail while fishing.
