Husband, you've returned.
Just as Chen Changsheng was stroking Anshera's smooth purple hair, Luo Hao also noticed his return and came before him with immense joy.
Also arriving was the Heretic God Athena, who had become identical to the Athena Chen Changsheng encountered in the Greek Divine Realm.
I sense a familiar aura from you. Did you absorb my godhood? It seems your plan was a success.
Hearing this, Chen Changsheng first nodded to Athena before turning to look at Luo Hao.
I have absorbed the godhood of the entire Greek pantheon, but it is currently only an initial absorption. Completely refining it will likely take quite some time, so our previous plans might need to be delayed for a while.
Luo Hao nodded upon hearing this, her face showing joy for Chen Changsheng's harvest.
As for him saying that he wouldn't make a move against other gods for the time being, she didn't mind it much.
This kind of thing was something only Chen Changsheng could achieve anyway; currently, she could at most act as his support.
Thinking of this, Luo Hao looked at Chen Changsheng.
By the way, Husband, seeing that you hadn't returned for a long time, I taught the three of them some cultivation methods. Now, Anshera has chosen to abandon her divine body to completely switch her cultivation path, and Pandora is doing the same. However, Athena seems unable to switch.
As she spoke, she looked at Athena, who had already found her lost Gorgon Stone and transformed into the Trinity Goddess.
The current Athena commanded the three major godhoods of the Earth, the Underworld, and Wisdom. In the Campione world, she was already at the level of a God King, comparable to the absolute top tier.
Unfortunately, she was currently in a Heretic body. Her form was entirely composed of divine power radiating from her godhood. Even if a body made of divine power felt incredibly real, she practically did not possess a true physical body.
Therefore, her transition to cultivation was not going smoothly.
Seeing this, Chen Changsheng turned to look at Athena.
Athena, the Greek gods have vanished. Although the faith in them in this world has not disappeared, and perhaps thousands of years from now a new batch of Greek gods will be born from that faith, that no longer matters to me. Thus, our cooperation has concluded. You may leave now.
Although he hadn't spent much time with Athena, seeing that Luo Hao didn't seem to dislike her and was even willing to teach her immortal cultivation, his tone softened considerably.
Hearing this, however, Athena raised her eyes to look at Chen Changsheng, a flash of nervousness passing through her beautiful eyes.
My Lord, may I follow you? I wish to...
Her eyes trembled slightly, and her voice became much more agitated.
I wish to witness a vaster world, rather than wasting away countless years in this small world until I am overwhelmed by faith and forget who I once was.
In truth, she had wanted to say this for a long time. Ever since Luo Hao's attitude toward her improved, and she could no longer sense the unique hostility toward gods that characterized Campiones from her, she had been intentionally trying to understand Luo Hao's changes.
And the more she understood, the more shocked she became.
The cultivation methods and realms of the immortal cultivation world, Luo Hao who was already difficult for her to resist at merely the Nascent Soul stage, the even stronger Chen Changsheng, and what she described as the ultimate goal of immortal cultivation, the realm of Immortals, which was completely different yet somewhat similar to this world's Eastern Divine Realm, all filled her with an unparalleled desire to learn more.
However, despite sounding nice as Chen Changsheng's collaborator, she hadn't actually helped them from beginning to end. In reality, she was no different from a captive.
She even frequently felt that her status here was less important than that of Anshera, whom Chen Changsheng verbally called a pet.
After all, even though Chen Changsheng said he was keeping Anshera as a pet, Luo Hao taught her with all her heart, treating her like a junior disciple and paying even more attention to her than to her actual disciple, Lu Yinghua.
Even Pandora, due to her relationship with Luo Hao, would shamelessly pester her every day.
Only she herself didn't even know in what capacity she was staying here.
Therefore, seeing Chen Changsheng's return, she finally made up her mind to offer him her loyalty.
Follow me?
Chen Changsheng looked at Athena, who seemed ready to swear allegiance to him, and then at Luo Hao, who appeared completely unsurprised by this, and nodded.
Since you wish to follow me, I naturally won't refuse.
As he spoke, he thought for a moment, looking at Athena and considering how to arrange things for her.
Soon, his eyes lit up as he looked at Athena, who had her head bowed, waiting for his next words.
Athena, if you were to encounter the main body of Athena from the Greek Divine Realm right now, would you be affected?
Hearing this, Athena looked up and shook her head.
My Lord, although I am still Athena, I am now the primordial Athena, not the Goddess of Wisdom Athena from current Greek mythology. If I were to encounter that Athena, I would not be affected in any way.
Then could you replace her?
Replace her?
Athena was startled, but then nodded without hesitation.
My Lord, if she is unable to resist, I can replace her. After all, the Goddess of Wisdom is merely a part of me.
Hearing this, Chen Changsheng nodded in satisfaction.
That's good. Now I know how to arrange things for you.
Saying this, he looked at the women.
Do not resist. I will bring you all into my Inner World.
Seeing the women nod and prepare themselves, Chen Changsheng directly stored them all into his Inner World.
With a flash before their eyes, the women found themselves in a bizarre and massive new world.
Luo Hao looked at this world, which was no smaller than an entire continent on Earth, a hint of envy flashing in her eyes, followed by joy over her husband growing stronger.
Anshera, on the other hand, was somewhat bewildered and shocked.
Was this her master? To think he actually created such a massive world within his own body!
As for Pandora and Athena, they fell silent as they gazed at the familiar yet strange world before them.
Wasn't this the Olympus Divine Realm?
This Lord really had devoured Greek mythology completely, even turning its Divine Realm into his Inner World.
Chen Changsheng looked at the women's reactions and smiled at Athena.
Athena, since you have chosen to follow me, then manage this Inner World for me. I will grant you authority within this realm. Your task is to supervise the Greek gods, ensuring that, without disappearing, they provide me with a continuous stream of Heretic God avatars that the Circle of Usurpation can convert into Authorities.
As he spoke, he pointed to the Greek gods imprisoned on Mount Olympus at the center of the Inner World.
Of course, consider that Athena as my gift to you. I imagine that with her, you should be able to gain a true physical body and officially step onto the path of cultivation.
Hearing this, Athena immediately knelt on one knee before Chen Changsheng.
Yes! My Lord! Athena shall obey your command!
"Heh, there is no need to be so restrained. Just treat it as working for me. If you ever want to leave the Grotto-Heaven to have some fun outside, simply let me know."
As he spoke, he subtly manipulated the Grotto-Heaven, granting Athena a share of its authority.
From this day forward, within his inner Grotto-Heaven, Athena possessed authority second only to his own, allowing her to effortlessly handle that group of imprisoned gods.
If this were the Primordial World, Athena would have essentially become what is known as a Heavenly Dao Sage.
Sensing the newfound power surging within her body, Athena silently raised her head to look at Chen Changsheng, nodding firmly with eyes full of burning fervor.
Afterward, she turned her gaze toward the Athena residing in Mount Olympus, a faint smile gracing her flawlessly beautiful face.

for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely.

So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
