"Come back to your senses, what has fascinated you so much? Could it be that you are obsessed with my uncle?"

Mo Yu's pupils brightened a little, raised his head and asked:

"Don't you wonder why the god Enlil appeared in the Hades? Gods generally have nothing important to do, so they wouldn't come to the Hades."

"Uncle, her whereabouts have always been erratic, and she has not always lived in the High Heaven Temple. But she really has no reason to go to the underworld at this time."

Marduk thought about it, and it was true that, as Mo Yu said, Hades is a very special place in Mesopotamia.

After Apusu died, he turned into an abyss, and above the abyss, there was a layer of nether world that accommodated the undead, that is, Hades.

When the gods come here, their divinity will be restrained, which is equivalent to handing over their lives to the queen of the underworld to control them.

Even if there is no Ai Lei, most of the gods still keep a respectful attitude towards Hades.

No god wants to come to the 'corpse' of the Father after death.

Moreover, the curse in the underworld is not Ai Lei's spell, but the resentment from the father god since the birth of the underworld.Gods who die on the ground can be resurrected through people's beliefs, but if they die in the underworld, there is basically no means of resurrection.

"Speaking of which, uncle, she is also the only god among the gods of Babylon who is basically not affected by the curse."

"No wonder she was able to easily catch Ishtar before." Mo Yu nodded suddenly, then frowned, sensing something was wrong.

"The Lord God will not be affected by the curse of Hades?"

Marduk shrugged with a smile: "The Lord God, there must be some privileges."

"Indeed, it sounds like there's nothing wrong with it."

Although Mo Yu had doubts in his heart, it was inconvenient to say anything more.

Take a chance to ask Enlil alone, if you can see her.

At the time of parting, Ai Lei looked at Mo Yu gratefully, and said a lot of words of gratitude like a little girl, and Mo Yu couldn't help but laugh.

In the end, Ai Lei carefully gave Mo Yu a big hug and waved goodbye.

She really wants to say it's okay to come and play...

But this is the underworld, no matter how beautifully decorated it is, it is still a place of death. It is strange to say that others are welcome to play in the underworld.

Ishtar on the side hummed unhappily:

"What about me? It's me who gave you the power, why don't you thank me?"

Ai Lei glared at her: "Oh, then you are welcome to come and play if you have nothing to do, one-way ticket, you can enter it or let it go."

Ishtar:  …

Discrimination is too obvious!

After the three of them left Hades, Ai Lei looked at the direction where the three of them left, and took a long time to look away, returning to the palace in a sad mood.

Even though she was extremely reluctant, she knew clearly that she could not leave Hades.

Even if it's only for one day, she wants to go to the ground and play with Mo Yu for a day.

To see the fragrance of wild flowers in the mountains, to see the dazzling sun in the sky, to see the clear blue waves of the river, to see the joy and sorrow of life.

However, she knew that this was impractical. As long as she was still the Queen of Hades, she was destined to guard here forever. She could only let go of this responsibility until there were no more living creatures on earth and no dead spirits in Hades.

Standing in front of the mirror, she patted her own face, and the girl showed a sweet smile.

"Come on, Miss Alley! You are the queen of Hades, the best!"

------

The three returned to the surface, and Ishtar looked around to make sure that Enlil was not around, so he asked curiously.

"Uncle, do you know the reason why God Enlil came to Hades?"

"It may be the same as usual, let's meet the abyss, but it's really strange to see the abyss at this time."

Marduk guessed casually, and seeing Mo Yu's suspicious expression, he explained in detail:

"To see the abyss is a literal meaning. Every Babylonian god has been charged with patricide since birth. Some gods who can't forget this will go to the abyss to cleanse their hearts."

Mo Yu recalled the settings in the game, and asked, "The abyss is the fresh water formed after Apusu's death. Will the gods not dissolve there?"

"You even know this."

Marduk looked at him in surprise, and nodded immediately: "The abyss can indeed dissolve the gods, but only for a short period of time, not only will it not dissolve, but it will also cleanse your soul. This is probably the last time after the death of God the Father. mercy."

"Is it kind? It's obviously a curse."

Ishtar showed a completely different attitude from Marduk, and spat without a good face.

"If it wasn't for him, Hades wouldn't have come into existence, and Ai Lei wouldn't have been chosen as the god of Hades, trapped there forever without seeing the light of day."

Marduk said helplessly: "It's all happened. It's meaningless to bring it up now. We don't have the ability to change the past. We can only save our own future."

Ishtar pointed to Mo Yu: "Did you forget that he is from the future, maybe he can help us."

After being reminded, Marduk was slightly taken aback, and then remembered that Mo Yu was from the future.

And he seems to have the means to change the past to affect the future?

If Mo Yu could go back to the earlier past, maybe he could...

Marduk's scorching eyes stared at Mo Yu a little uncomfortable, he spread his hands and explained: "Sorry, I originally planned to go back to the era before 4000 AD, that is, 8000 years from now, but halfway through the operation Unstable, I came to this era by accident, and now I have no way to travel through time and space."

"Is that so..."

Marduk was slightly disappointed, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

"Alright, we are always responsible for what we do, whether it is the end of the Age of Gods, or continue to survive, I will accept fate calmly."

"Don't you choose to fight?" Mo Yu asked.

"I will fight, but all gods cannot escape their destiny. We are born from the root and connected to the root. After all, we cannot escape the established destiny."

Marduk smiled freely, not paying too much attention to these things.

"Typical bad boy thinking, Uncle, you should be more confident. With the determination that I will break through and show you even if it is fate, I don't know if I can really do it."

Ishtar has a posture of letting my fate go, probably because she was spoiled since she was a child, and she is not afraid of tigers when she is a newborn calf.

Chatting all the way to the village of Ishtar,

Looking at the hungry and cold people in the village, Marduk asked in a gloomy expression:

"Let's get back to the topic, Ishtar, how will you manage those sheltered people?"

Ishtar seemed to have encountered some mathematical problem, frowning and pondering for a while, before stretching out four fingers tentatively.

"Forty or six?"

Marduk drew his lightning whip and stared at her with kindly but cruel eyes.

"What did you say?"

Ishtar grinned heartbrokenly and held out another finger.

"Fifty-fifty is fine! I can't back down anymore!"

Marduk rubbed the center of his brows with a headache: "You still don't understand what I mean, you don't starve to death like humans without food, what's the point of collecting these grains?"

The goddess of beauty pursed her lips, aggrievedly defending:

"But I protect them as a goddess, so I have to ask them to pay something in return. Isn't grain, a plant that can be found everywhere, the cheapest reward?"

"It is true that grains are common, but they are also in great demand. Have you considered the case of floods leading to famine? Have you considered the situation where the demand for food is increasing as the population continues to increase? Have you considered the possibility of The situation where the crops are sick and cause large areas to die?"

These problems were encountered by Marduk during the one-year construction of Eridu, and most of the problems were solved by Mo Yu's wisdom.

It is worth mentioning that Mo Yu did not use the power of Yanshen to intervene in natural disasters, but gave guidance purely as a leader, allowing people to grasp the laws of natural disasters and find ways to deal with them.

If the river is flooded, a few more ditches will be opened to divert the water, and if the crops get sick, all the farmers who died of the disease will be burned as soon as possible, and the fields will be burned by the way.

Facing a series of questions from Marduk, Ishtar's face was dull and he hesitated to answer.

"Then what should I do? Now that I have lost the power of harvesting, it is impossible for me to directly use my power to help them harvest food..."

Ishtar blinked, his beautiful eyes fell on Mo Yu, stretched out his hand and pulled Mo Yu's sleeve and swayed it gently.

"Uncle Mo Yu~ You have helped Ai Lei build the underworld like that, please help me too, please chat."

Although the sweet and greasy coquettish voice makes people feel chilly, it is barely acceptable after listening to it.

Mo Yu didn't want to agree to this matter at first, but then thought that if Ishtar continued to operate, it would only cause more refugees to flood into Eridu, so he could only nod and agree.

"Okay, but I want to make a few requests."

Ishtar's eyes lit up, and he hugged Mo Yu's arm excitedly and dangled back and forth.

"Okay, tell me."

Mo Yu stretched out a finger: "First of all, you should not forcefully collect offerings. Offerings should be voluntary rather than forced. People will think of you well under your management, and they will naturally I offer all kinds of precious treasures to you, understand?"

Ishtar nodded.

"Understood! Do you mean to fool them into offering to me willingly?"

Mo Yu: ...

Marduk:  …

Although I think Ishtar's words are a bit wrong, but after thinking about it carefully, there is no problem.

"Forget it, anyway, please."

Marduk sighed wearily, and returned to his Eridu.

Seeing that his uncle had left, Ishtar stopped acting like a good baby and hugged Mo Yu's arm with a light smile.

"Hey, Uncle Mo Yu, you have a very good relationship with Uncle Marduk. He entrusts you with all important matters, even entrusts me to you."

"Don't say things that are easy to misunderstand, just look around with me first."

"A date? Yes."

Mo Yu held Ishtar's forehead and gently pushed her away, and took her to the village for a walk.

Along the way, there were skinny people everywhere, they looked at Mo Yu and Ishtar weakly, begging for salvation.

Ishtar, who was originally indifferent, saw the villagers, his smile turned into silence, and finally turned into sadness and self-blame.

She didn't think it was a big deal before, but when she walked into this lifeless village, looking at those hungry people, she felt that she had come to the original dark underworld. Applying it to the living makes people feel heavy.
