He is a pure-blooded dragon in the miniature garden.

Chapter 233 Oh no, I've gone too far with my favorability, what should I do?
At the foot of the towering and majestic sacred mountain.

Su Nian looked up at the boundless Mount Olympus, and at the magnificent, pure white temples carved from marble, and couldn't help but smile.

"What? You don't welcome me?"

Before him stood Athena, dressed in a pure white robe and wearing an olive-colored floral wreath, her delicate and beautiful features rubbing her forehead in exasperation.

"Why did you come here? Weren't you covering for me in handling Tianjun affairs?"

Upon hearing this, Su Nian revealed a hint of pride and raised her head to speak with pride.

“I’ve left these chores to Argir and Shiva.”

"Ah."

Athena sighed helplessly. To be honest, she wasn't very confident in Argir, but she wasn't too worried about Shiva.

But what can be done now that it has already happened? Anyway, it was all out of Su Nian's good intentions, wasn't it?

This at least proves that Su Nian still cares about her.

After silently grumbling to herself, Athena looked at Su Nian, sighed softly, and turned to lead Su Nian to the Temple of Zeus, their next destination.

After passing through layers of steps and several ancient and luxurious palaces, we soon arrived at the Temple of Zeus, led by Athena.

In the palace gardens, in a pavilion, they saw several of the current leaders of the Greek pantheon.

Hades, the god of the underworld; Zeus, the god of the heavens; and Hestia, the goddess of the hearth.

As for Poseidon, he didn't come because he didn't really want to meet Athena. Besides, Poseidon didn't have much say in front of the three of them.

Zeus's image remains the same as in the council of gods: a robust old man with his upper body half-naked, exuding majesty and power, yet surprisingly giving off a youthful vibrancy.

Hades, on the other hand, is a young man with a mature face, a slender but not frail physique, and an aura of yin energy yet harmony. Although he is the symbol of the underworld, he does not have much of a gloomy feeling.

Hades, who was sitting to Zeus's left, looked surprised when he saw that Athena was not the only one who had come. He quickly got up to greet her.

To Zeus's right was a woman with fiery red hair and fair, delicate skin. She stood up when she saw Su Nian approaching.

She has a graceful figure and a mature temperament like a ripe peach, exuding a gentle maternal aura. Surprisingly, however, her face has a girlish quality, and her movements and expressions reveal a touch of liveliness.

These two opposing qualities blend perfectly in her, giving her a unique charm.

Hades, the god of the underworld; Hestia, the goddess of the hearth.

Su Nian's eyes flickered, confirming the identities of the two people.

Two beings who are among the twelve Greek gods stood up and bowed to him when they saw him; in a sense, this could be considered an honor.

Su Nian smiled politely and nodded to the two gods. Then, meeting their gaze, she sat down opposite Zeus at his signal, and Athena sat down next to her.

Throughout this process, Hades' gaze remained fixed on Athena.

Faced with such continued attention, Athena sat down next to Su Nian without hesitation, enduring Hades' scrutiny.

She knew that this was a process she had to go through to inherit and take over the Greek pantheon.

After staring at each other for a long time, Hades sighed softly and shook his head helplessly.

"Wouldn't it be good to become the third generation of Greek god-king and succeed Zeus?"

As Hades finished speaking, Zeus's hand trembled. He, who had not intended to speak, immediately interjected.

"Hades, didn't I say not to put too much pressure on Nana? Why are you asking this kind of question from the start?"

Hades glanced at Zeus, then continued speaking calmly.

"This was Athena's own choice; she wanted to create her own Greek mythology."

If Athena was merely greedy for the power of the Greek god-king, then naturally they would have no objection. What's wrong with letting Athena succeed Zeus as the queen of the Greek gods?
However, Athena in this way would only be the fourth generation of Greek god-king in name, but the third generation in fact.

Essentially, it was just that Zeus and his elders favored Athena and wanted her to experience what it was like to be the queen of the gods.

But this position still belongs to Zeus, who could easily kick Athena off if he wanted to.

Rather than becoming the fourth generation of god-king, it would be more accurate to say that he replaced Zeus as the third generation of Greek god-king.

Upon hearing this, Athena met Hades' scrutinizing gaze with a defiant glint in her eyes and replied.

"I will write my own myth and become the fourth generation of Greek god-kings in the true sense."

This is the goal she has been pursuing since birth, and it is also her obsession.

Moreover, this is also a necessary condition for truly taking charge of the pantheon.

Unlike other simulated star charts, the most important condition for the simulated star chart to unleash its full power is mythology.

This is one of the reasons why Zeus was able to become the leader of the Greeks, because the myths about Zeus are the most numerous and extensive in the pantheon, and many of the most powerful spirits are related to Zeus.

He is the true core of the current Greek pantheon.

In particular, with his divine status as the High Priest, he planned the growth path for the heroes at the bottom of the Greek pantheon, creating the special existence of demigod heroes, who continuously brought merit to the Greek pantheon.

In return, the pantheon can also plan the path of these heroes' growth, just like the strongest hero in Greece, Hercules, who was just one step away from becoming a three-digit hero.

It can be said that Zeus, single-handedly, completely saved the Greek gods who were almost destroyed in the war of the stars, brought them back to their peak, and ended the war of the stars.

Hearing Athena's confident words, Hades raised an eyebrow slightly and sighed softly.

"I thought you would back down, but this is not the dawn of a new era where you can write your own myths at will."

Even Zeus, in the end, relied mostly on the spiritual status of his great father to complete the genealogy of the gods, which brought about the lineage of the sons of Zeus.

If it were Athena, and she wanted to write her own mythology in the pantheon again... she would need at least an opportunity that would allow the Greek pantheon to evolve once more.

Moreover, it requires sufficient popularity, allowing people to rise from seven figures to three figures.

Once you reach the three-digit promotion path, the divine genealogy becomes less useful, and it's no longer something that can be predicted by the divine genealogy; you'll have to figure out the rest yourself.

Upon hearing this, Su Nian, who had studied the pantheon to some extent, frowned.

This is quite challenging, as it involves using the pantheon to grant the gods the opportunity to evolve, and also creating a mythology that belongs to the Greek worldview.

While such conditions are indeed commensurate with Athena becoming the fourth generation of god-king.

If she wants to become a true fourth-generation God-King, she must do this.

Then, Su Nian turned her head to observe Athena's expression. She saw Athena frowning, seemingly unprepared. Su Nian sighed softly. "Looks like I'll have to do it after all?"

"Uncle Hades, you don't need to worry about that. Nana has already made preparations."

Upon hearing this, Hades paused, looking at Su Nian with some surprise.

Su Nian didn't give Hades a chance to continue speaking, but instead continued on her own.

"Moreover, this has already been calculated using the theogony, confirming that it can give the Greek pantheon even further potential."

As he spoke, Su Nian took out the divine chart that he had transformed into a light screen, and with a few gentle strokes, showed Athena, Zeus, Hades, and Hestia his previous calculations.

"I named it Destiny, which is a way to achieve unity of knowledge and action through one's own philosophy, and then embark on the path of evolution."

Yes, that's right, it's the Fate Walker.

When Su Nian used the Divine Genealogy to deduce her own path before, she also deduced the possibility of her destiny spreading to the Path of the Garden.

The conclusion drawn is that it is difficult to popularize.

The reason why Destiny can exist in the Collapse Iron Universe is due to the infinite imaginary energy of that world, and Destiny was born from the concept of the Star God.

If one wants to become a destiny traveler in another world, that world must at least have a destiny, and one must be under the shadow of destiny.

Moreover, destiny requires sufficient energy to operate, and other worlds may not have this condition.

In the end, he concluded that this thing was a useless burden for Su Nian, which completely extinguished his idea of ​​using his destiny to gain merit in the miniature garden.

The workload of localizing this sandbox garden is simply enormous.

However, it is undeniable that this is indeed a good career path.

It is at least more reliable than gaining merit in the sandbox to exchange for spiritual advancement, and it is also much simpler than the path of power.

Of course, it can't compare to the cultivation path that's so prevalent in the East.

But it's enough to deal with Hades.

"Although there may still be many loopholes, they can be improved later. As for the matter of conforming to the Greek worldview, I have some ideas."

Su Nian crossed her legs and said confidently.

"Now that the biggest problem has been solved, I don't need to say anything more about writing the legend, do I?"

After reviewing the data provided by Su Nian and the conclusions corroborated by the divine genealogy, Hades gave Su Nian a deep look and said with some emotion.

"Athena, you have a good husband."

In a sense, Metis helped Zeus in the same way, completing the simulated star map and the pantheon, which reunited the Greek gods who had been torn apart by Gaia's war of the stars.

Hades seemed to see the shadow of Metis in Su Nian.

Hades felt a toothache at the mere mention of Metis, looking as if he had no idea how to talk to Athena about it.

At least Su Nian isn't as yandere as Metis.

Hestia put down the divine genealogy and looked at Su Nian with clear and gentle eyes.

"Now, I have no objections. I support Athena becoming the fourth generation of God-King and writing the pantheon again."

Athena, standing next to Su Nian, seemed a little stunned, as if she had just recovered from her shock.

"You're entrusting your destiny to me? Then how do you plan to walk your path from here on out?"

If she remembers correctly, in Su Nian's initial plan, fate occupied a large part of his path forward, right?

"Of course, you don't need to worry about that."

Su Nian waved her hand casually.

"For me, those star gods are more useful than destiny. My path is not in the miniature world, and the only use of destiny for me is to provide me with related concepts and authority."

What Su Nian said was true, and it had been deduced by the "supercomputing" divine genealogy of the miniature garden.

The path he seeks is called "Immortality," but in reality, it is "Existence." A further step would be to reach either his little sister's "World" or the "Minicosm" gifted to him by Sasha.

His next task is to unify the different destinies into one, and then achieve "immortality".

"Thank you."

Athena gave Su Nian a deep look. She couldn't express her gratitude in words; she could only keep Su Nian's kindness in her heart.

She's starting to genuinely consider Su Nian her husband, even though in a sense their marriage is arranged.

And she did indeed interact with him as Su Nian's fiancée, but how much of that interaction was out of a sense of responsibility for her status, how much was genuine emotion, and how much was rationality?

But now... looking at Su Nian, she felt a strange emotion.

For some reason, Su Nian had a bad feeling. He felt that Athena's gravity on him seemed to have increased.

Zeus, who was watching the show, seemed to have discovered something interesting, and his gaze toward Su Nian couldn't help but carry a hint of pity.

At this moment, Zeus, who had been silent until now, spoke.

"Ahem, big sister, why don't you take Nana downstairs and familiarize her with the affairs of the Greek pantheon? Su Nian and I have something to discuss."

Hades watched Hestia leave with Athena, and then disappeared without a trace.

Only Zeus and Su Nian remained in the entire Temple of Zeus.

"Uncle Zeus, just say what you want to say. The way you're looking at me is creepy."

Su Nian lowered her legs, sat up straight, and said somewhat fearfully.

Zeus didn't speak, but patted Su Nian's shoulder sympathetically.

"You're in for a treat, kid. I never thought you could actually touch Nana's heart."

"Nana's personality is exactly like her mother's. Once you enter their hearts, it's not so easy to get out."

Upon hearing this, Su Nian seemed to understand something.

Oh no, I've gone too far with my affection level, what should I do?
So this is what it means to truly conquer Athena?
