"For our small clan, the impact is not so great, because everyone is exploring the relatively safe upper levels, and the amount of magic stones we can obtain is still the same."
"Stop complaining. In the past, your small clans would never have been able to have a stable income, right? Back then, it was high risk with medium returns, and now it's low risk with medium returns. What is there to complain about?"
"Let's not talk about that anymore, Astraea, come and have a drink!"
Astrea listened to the words of the gods around her, smiled and declined, then her gaze fell on Ishtar not far away.
Astraea walked straight over and invited the other person to come to the balcony for a chat.
Seeing this, Hestia narrowed her eyes sharply.
"Did you assign Astraea a task?"
“That’s right. I put her in charge of shutting down the Night Street managed by the ‘Ishtar Familia’. There’s no need for it to exist.”
"Hmm... I don't like that place either, but it feels like there would be a problem if it were just shut down."
Hestia said softly.
Upon hearing this, Freya and Loki approached.
"Adventurer is a high-risk profession, even with the protection provided by Lord Chenhai, especially for those who risk their lives in the depths."
Freya glanced at Ishtar not far away.
"And the 'Night Street' that Ishtar manages can, to some extent, alleviate the daily stress accumulated by those adventurers."
"Or rather, they need a place to 'vent'."
Loki added a sentence.
They are goddesses, not women.
The concepts of gods and humans are ultimately different.
For this reason, Freya and Loki believed that the 'Night Street' was necessary.
However, there are also goddesses who hold a different viewpoint.
"Conflicts often break out in the Night Street. Some adventurers even fight over popular prostitutes, which may eventually escalate into conflicts between different clans."
Hephaestus recounted what she had witnessed.
“That’s right, my familia members were affected… When two adventurers from Night City were fighting, they dragged my familia into it.”
Demeter chimed in agreement.
Freya asked about this.
"But that's the adventurers' problem, not the 'Night Street's' problem, isn't it?"
"The Night Street is where problems are born, I think that's a fair way to put it."
Hestia spoke again.
The five goddesses then turned their attention to Chen Hai, waiting for him to share his thoughts.
"In short, ban it first and then talk about it later."
The underground city managed by Chenhai doesn't need those kinds of neighborhoods.
After they finished talking about these things, Ganesha, the chief god of the 'Ganesha Familia', came over.
"Can we talk privately? I'd like to discuss the topic of heretics..."
The topic raised by this muscular man greatly interested the goddesses.
Therefore, Chen Hai decided to make things clear here.
“Those heretics can become ‘comrades’.”
Starting with this, Chen Hai began to tell everything about the heretic.

At the same time, on the west balcony of the banquet hall of 'Freya Familia'.
Astraea looked at the goddess Ishtar beside her.
“Ishtar, it’s been so long…”
"You left Orario five years ago, and I thought you would never come back."
"Because I heard rumors about Orario in other cities, I wanted to confirm them."
"The results of it?"
"Unexpectedly, the dungeon lord actually changed Orario, and even influenced the whole world through it."
Astraea mentioned the situation in her city.
"A number of merchants have recently emerged in the sword-crafting city of Zoringan, all hoping to hire a group of adventurers to safeguard their upcoming transactions."
People gradually realized that Orario had undergone a complete transformation.
The number of adventurers, merchants, craftsmen, and travelers gathering in Orario is increasing.
From this perspective.
"I think that in a few years, Orario might even become the center of the world."
On the way here, Astrea even heard some craftsmen mention the topic of 'Orario' expansion.
After hearing this, Ishtar turned around and leaned against the railing.
"You've only just arrived in this city and met that underground city lord, and you already believe everything he says?"
"I didn't completely believe it..."
Shaking her head, Astraea emphasized...
"Even so, there is no reason to be his enemy. At least everything Lord Chenhai has done so far proves that he is not a demon king from the underground city, but more like a businessman who is good at negotiation, or... a 'god' from somewhere we don't know."
"Gods? Interesting idea... So, after you finished talking to him, why did you come to me?"
"Regarding the 'Night Street' of Orario, Lord Chenhai requested that I speak with you, and then... abolish the entire street."
"I've heard Chen Hai mention this before. Does he really want to carry it out? Without my 'Night Street,' the number of troublemaking adventurers will increase significantly."
"I don't need to think about these things, you just need to give me an answer."
Astraea seemed quite serious about this.
Knowing she couldn't reason with her, Ishtar raised her pipe and took a drag.
"Will the goddess who governs justice and order now obey the orders of the dungeon lord?"
"I don't think it was the right decision to start a conflict."
"Really? Could you give me some time?"
Ishtar pressed on.
"Half a day will do, how about that?"
"If it's only half a day..."
"By the way, you must take good care of your clan and make sure you don't encounter the same 'misfortune' as before."
"Ishtar, are you threatening me?"
Seeing Astraea's expression turn serious, Ishtar shook her head.
"It's a huge misunderstanding. I was just reminding a friend who is also a god."
"..."
Having said that, Ishtar left the balcony.
She returned to the hall, and the deputy commander, Aisha Belka, approached Ishtar.
"Lady Ishtar, what should we do..."
"I'll handle this. You're in charge of managing the newly arrived 'goods'."
Ishtar looked at her vice-captain and added...
“Suppressing my ‘Night Street’ was that city lord’s biggest mistake. All we need to do is make him realize that mistake.”
As she said this, Ishtar lifted her breasts.
"Let him experience the joys of the night, and I believe it will change his previous opinion."
Ishtar, the goddess of beauty, was very confident in her plan.
Chapter 82 Saya, Yuriko + Rei > Ishtar! The goddess is dumbfounded: You are the true King of the Night!
The second "Divine Gathering," hosted by Chen Hai, has come to an end.
Each of the participating deities gained something.
Some people signed cooperation agreements with other clans;
Someone has learned the latest intelligence and plans to explore the dungeon overnight.
The most eye-catching of them all is 'Asteria Familia', who left Orario many years ago and suddenly returned tonight.
As the current host, Chen Hai made arrangements for Stella and her family members to stay at an inn under the Adventurers' Guild.
These inns are usually used by the Adventurers' Guild to entertain VIPs and house wealthy merchants, and their safety is guaranteed.
Astraea, who expressed her gratitude, quickly left the scene to reunite with her clan members.
After the 'Gods' Association' disbanded, Chen Hai bid farewell to Hestia, Hephaestus, Demeter, and others, and embarked on his journey home.
Halfway there—
"Mr. Chenhai, would you like to buy something before you go back?"
What are you planning to buy?
"I heard that the most popular dim sum shop recently changed its menu, and it seems they're using rare ingredients from the dungeon."
Hestia described it vividly.
"Then go and have a look."
After Chen Hai agreed, he and Hestia took a detour to the shop she mentioned.
It wasn't exactly late at night, so all the neighborhoods in Orario were bustling with activity.
In fact, even at night, the number of people does not decrease.
Because of the new dungeon rules set up by Chenhai, some adventurers work in three shifts, so you can always see adventurers who have just finished their shift or are about to start their shift.
These people usually gather in the square or near the bar, enjoying the fun before work and the time after work.
"And it's not just that shop; many shops have extended their opening hours, even the 'Abundant Mistress' tavern is no exception."
"After all, it's a way to make more money."
"That's right, that's right. If I were still selling potato balls, I would definitely go to the Tower of Babel to do business, and I would definitely have a lot of customers."
"You can sell potato balls now too."
"There's no going back!"
Hestia said with a smile
"I'm so much happier now than before!"
Because they have plenty of money and don't need to pay rent.
In addition, the guild mansion where I currently live has someone cleaning it, making me feel like a noble in the human world.
Generally, only the chief deities of powerful clans can enjoy this kind of treatment.
Have you considered recruiting more members recently? After all, the current number of members is still 0.
"No, I think the reason why gods descend to the mortal realm to recruit their followers is to better enjoy a life different from that in the heavenly realm. And I already have that kind of life now. As for followers... we can talk about that later."
After Hestia finished speaking, she took Chen Hai's hand and entered the next block.
The place was brightly lit and bustling with people.
