Arad's unruly savior

Chapter 3878 So what if I'm a little arrogant?

Prana took small bites of the mung bean popsicle in her hand, tossed the small wooden stick aside, and then received a chop to the neck from Venus, who gestured for her to pick it up and throw it into the trash can.

“Don’t I have servants? I do everything myself, so what do I need servants for?” Prana said reluctantly, and a little annoyed.

I am a powerful god, transcending the concepts of time, space, and mortals. To be able to serve a god at close range is a blessing that mortals cannot attain even in ten lifetimes. The slightest glimmer of light that I let through my fingers is a miracle that mortals cannot achieve.

That wretched Venus! We're clearly equals in status and strength, yet she always acts like an elder, lecturing me.

Besides, I am the original God of sin, not you, the God of virtue. What's wrong with being a little arrogant or unrestrained? Isn't that what I should do?

Venus left with two maids, stepping into the depths of the starry sky. Her noble and beautiful figure blended into the starlight. It was as if she hadn't heard anything all along, ignoring Prana's complaints. She would be fine in a while; she was used to it.

The new dress that Rudis and Serena made for her had a bright, pearly luster, like a cloud reflecting light, flowing with a faint glow, unlike anything made on earth.

"I'd like to see what you'll become when you return to the beginning." Prana smirked resentfully and followed after them.

…………

Far from the world of Arad, in a starry sky, the goddess Venus gracefully emerged from a beam of brilliant light. She quietly surveyed her surroundings. The stars were blazing hot, and a strange blue moon hung in the sky. The stars were a cool silver, and the interwoven light gave her gown a pearly luster, making her already ethereal beauty even more unattainable.

The starry sky is ethereal and beautiful, with a grand and sacred feel. Theoretically, the environment is also very suitable, yet there are no habitable planets nearby. This is the most common state in the universe.

Ye Lin appeared second, nodded to Venus, and said, "I'm back. You can rest assured and do whatever you want from now on. You can leave any unexpected events to me."

Venus's rosy lips curved slightly, responding with an exquisite smile. In that instant, her brilliance astonished the starry sky, illuminated the darkness, captivated all beings, and brought warmth to the cold.

"This is so awkward. I would never smile like that. I'm usually very aloof and don't smile much." Prana shook her head. In her eyes, looking at Venus was like looking in a mirror.

Angel Somi, the squinty-eyed little sister, also arrived. Looking around the desolate starry sky, a touch of warmth appeared only because of their arrival, and she sighed softly:

"Even if the basic conditions for the birth of life are present, such as the sun and water, it does not mean that the concept of life can necessarily be born."

The background of the universe, a corner of deep darkness, seemed to come alive, gaining a sense of substance, and opened a pair of clear, cold eyes, gazing at Venus dressed in a magnificent gown.

Returning to the beginning, it has been confirmed that the Arbiter, the Gatekeeper Charon, and the God of Terror Moros have returned to the primordial state, and several other rulers of time and space should have done the same.

Hiat and the others also came here, and they sincerely felt that Venus truly deserved the title of the most beautiful goddess. As women themselves, and with the foundation of a goddess, they were all amazed by Venus's appearance and temperament.

boom!
Venus raised her slender, snow-white, and delicate hands, and terrifying magic suddenly erupted, vast as an ocean, sweeping everything away, beginning to return to its primordial state, and recreating its strongest past.

The space-time around her suddenly tore apart, and fragments of the past appeared, manifesting scene after scene related to the goddess of beauty.

As everyone can clearly see, one of the fragments depicts a scene from a very ancient primitive era. There were no magnificent buildings on the land, and people wore rough animal or hemp clothing. The development of civilization was almost primitive, resembling a tribal society. People struggled to obtain food from the soil, cultivating and farming day after day, year after year.

The goddess Venus descended, bathed in beautiful light, smiling and praising humanity's efforts to cultivate the earth and nurture all things, and even more so their spirit of mutual help. Thus, she bestowed upon humanity the radiance of the goddess of beauty.

Since then, humans have used their more acute sense of smell to discover plants that can be used as food, and the original concept of herbalism was born here, accelerating human progress towards civilization.

A subtle, almost imperceptible spiritual force is also spreading: the remarkable human compassion that allows even individuals with limited individual abilities to unite and defeat powerful, savage beasts.

Hia nodded and said, "There is a saying that the true concept of civilization in the human world began with a healed broken bone."

The healed broken bone symbolizes that even after losing the ability to survive and becoming a burden to the species, a human being was not abandoned but was well cared for by others, who shared food and water with him, giving him the opportunity to heal his broken bone.

This is a tenderness that most species in nature lack.

This special power comes from Venus.

The driving force behind all pursuits of art—music, painting, writing, and all inventions that benefit humankind itself—also originates from Venus.

The two maids, Rudis, who was plain and unremarkable, and Serena, a melancholy girl in black stockings, who was self-pitying and had a delicate figure, were all staring intently at the radiance of Venus and couldn't help but jump for joy.

The goddess of beauty is captivating to men, women, young and old. As her most loyal followers, they are overjoyed to see Venus reclaim all her power.

"Lady Venus, you will make a perfect return..." Rudis murmured Venus's name in a trance-like tone, her eyes filled with reverence and adoration.

That adoring gaze is a heartfelt emotion toward the concept of "most beautiful." No one in the world has a purer or more fervent faith in the goddess of beauty than they do; absolutely no one.

They are the number one fans, admirers, and followers of Venus, the goddess of beauty.

"To be able to serve by the side of the goddess of beauty is the glory and happiness of my life, Rudis."

Serena, who was always quiet, stared intently at Venus, who was enveloped in brilliant light, her hands clenching tightly as she silently prayed for the goddess's success.

An untimely voice suddenly rang out. Prana took out her favorite golden apple, rubbed it against her face like a precious treasure, and snorted:
"Golden Apple, Golden Apple, who do you think is the most beautiful woman in the universe? It must be me, right? After all, you chose me."

Even Venus, the goddess of beauty, and Remedios, the goddess of life and light, were overshadowed by her on the golden apple.

Upon hearing this, Rudis immediately objected, and with a hint of anger, said:

"The Golden Apple chose you simply because you were lucky and it was a coincidence. It doesn't mean that beauty was the most important factor. Besides, only the Golden Apple thinks you are the most beautiful. We all think that Venus, the goddess of beauty, is the most beautiful."

Why is the Golden Apple the world's number one referee? Whoever it chooses is chosen? It makes no sense. It can't even speak.

"You're just a little tailor, what do you know about the concept of the Golden Apple? It has a lot of significance." Prana rolled her eyes at her, then happily rubbed the Golden Apple against her face. Then, Prana glanced at the Temptress Rofi with a hint of resentment. The latter blinked innocently a few times, as if to say, "Why are you looking at me all of a sudden? I haven't said anything."

What annoyed Prana was that Rofi didn't say a word. Look at those two little followers of the goddess of beauty, absolutely loyal fan leaders, praising Venus in every other sentence.

It is said that the faith in the goddess of beauty is quite waning on the continent of Arad, and most people are only superficial believers. In other words, superficial believers yearn for the goddess of beauty to bestow upon them outstanding appearance and perfect marriage, but they will not truly devote themselves to the faith.

When I remember, I recite a few words to ask for blessings.

So, the two number one fan followers are trying to restore people's faith in the goddess of beauty, including but not limited to distributing flyers and compiling sacred texts in real life, and also creating fan groups online.

Full of energy, definitely a true fan.

And look at you, the power of the stigmata and original sin you use clearly comes from me, yet your faith belongs to Remedios, and you don't even say a few words of support for me.

Luo Fei could only offer words of comfort, saying:

"Different strokes for different folks, and different landscapes have their own beauty. It's hard to say who's the best when it comes to beauty. The fact that you get so many stares when you're out shopping, Lady Prana, speaks volumes."

"Then tell me, Rofi, what does Venus's face look like to you now?" Prana immediately pressed. Venus's passive ability was not off; everyone's perception of the goddess of beauty was different.

Luo Fei couldn't help but glance around, then said guiltily, "Of course, it's you."

It was so obviously fake, a blatant exaggeration, that even the few demons who were always cheerful and never paid attention to details could tell from Luo Fei's expression that she was lying.

But to my surprise, Prana seemed to like it, nodding with satisfaction and smiling brightly, saying:
"Luo Fei, your eyes are indeed very sharp, able to see the truth. Why don't you switch your allegiance to me and seriously consider it? The archangel positions on Remy's side are all full, there's no spare holy name for you. You, who use original sin, are incompatible with those winged birds and will face workplace discrimination."

"Come to my side, and you'll be my number one envoy from now on. I'll always think of you when there's something good to be had."

Rofi replied to Prana, saying that his faith in her was on the same level as that of Lord Remi.

On the other side, the demons who came to play huddled together and whispered among themselves, with Beyana constantly eyeing the golden apple in Prana's hand.

"I wish I could get some to eat. It looks really good, it must be sweet and juicy." Beyana smacked her lips.

Maruko asked, "So, what do you think Venus looks like now?"

The Venus she saw was dressed in a scholar's uniform, with intellectual-style glasses on her beautiful face, and a curvaceous figure with extremely full breasts and rounded buttocks outlined under the tight uniform.

But whenever she tried to see Venus's features clearly, they would suddenly blur. She had a basic outline in her mind, and she knew she was definitely a great beauty, but she just couldn't see them clearly.

Maruko suddenly slapped her thigh and said:
"This uniform and body shape... isn't that Director Monica? The reason I can't see her face clearly is probably because I'm a girl, and I don't really have any judgment about the most beautiful looks."

Every magic scholar in the ancient library of the Demon Realm would envy Sister Monica. Not only is her mastery of magic unparalleled, but she is also one of the most beautiful women in the Demon Realm, comparable to Hilder.

Beyana scratched her head, blinked hard a few times, and then whispered:

"What I saw looked like Niwu's transformed appearance. I've always thought she was so cool."

To be more precise, it might resemble the elemental goddess Pusya.

Others also spoke about their own perceptions of Venus. Among them, the Milu sisters shared a remarkably consistent aesthetic, seeing only their mother, Lady Nimmel, in her image.

"Boss, let me see your pupils." Mo Mei lifted Ye Lin's face, smiling as she leaned closer, wanting to see the ever-changing Venus in his pupils.

The boss's XP system is very comprehensive and compatible with most appearances, so when the boss first saw Venus, she was sometimes a mature woman, sometimes a little girl, sometimes noble and elegant, and sometimes youthful and lively...

Then, Mo Mei saw her own reflection in his eyes.

Ye Lin reached out and pressed Mo Mei's head down, then lowered his head to kiss her deeply. After a brief exchange of passionate words, he smiled and said:
"Now when I look at Venus, she doesn't change constantly anymore; she maintains her usual, concrete form."

When Venus turns off her passive state, she will have an appearance that she chooses herself.

Numerous fragments of time danced in the air as Venus journeyed toward her most primordial self. The original goddess of beauty was not merely about physical beauty; the virtues she wielded represented the positive aspects of the soul and were the source of all positive and uplifting meaning.

"The original me, the me at my most powerful time..." Venus suddenly fell into a state of hesitation and doubt. Why did she want to reclaim the power of the past? What was driving her to do this?

As time passed, some of the power of the primordial god merged into all things in the world, becoming a kind of fundamental law. If this power were to be reclaimed now, would all things in the world still have the positive spirit to strive for a better future?

“I’ve thought about this problem. That part of the power is insignificant, and since I’m in harmony with God, I haven’t become weaker.”

"Therefore, the stronger me, the me of the past..."

Venus felt something cracking in her thoughts. Before she could react, a vast expanse of deep darkness and chaos suddenly appeared before her eyes, enveloping everything without a trace of bright light, as if all things in heaven and earth had not yet been conceived and were in their most primordial state.

Venus, surrounded by nothing, felt an indescribable chill and loneliness.

A faint whisper came from the darkness: "Virtue, an adjunct to life and wisdom, plays a vital guiding role, is a direction pursued by civilization, and is one of the foundations of evolution..."

Venus involuntarily curled up, transforming into a pure radiance that seemed not yet to possess its own form.
