Chapter 222: Inheriting the Legacy Left by the Ancestors

Watching Shiroyasha entangled with Athena, Su Nian revealed a faint smile.

Now that both troubles were completely resolved, he could finally start the banquet and formally say a few words.

Su Nian patted Algol, and seeing that there was no more fun to be had, Algol withdrew her Avatar and returned to the Demon Star.

At this moment, Su Nian bowed slightly toward the surroundings with a smile on his face and spoke in a professional tone.

"Apologies, there was a small mishap just now; let us happily begin this banquet."

The people around had seen enough of the show and were very cooperative with Su Nian.

Amidst the gentle music played by the spirits, the atmosphere of the banquet was gradually stirred to a climax.

And those who had come to watch the excitement gathered together according to their respective factions.

"Let me introduce, this is Heavenly Lord Anmuk of the Egyptian Pantheon..."

"A pleasure, a pleasure..."

"This is the Virgin Goddess Ischel of the Mayan Pantheon..."

"Praise to you, beautiful goddess..."

The atmosphere finally looked like a formal banquet, but Su Nian knew that the gazes cast over from time to time still held the lingering warmth of the spectacle they had just witnessed.

He sighed slightly, looking at Athena on his left, and then past her at Shiroyasha, who was clinging to Athena.

"Boss, that should be enough playing around."

Su Nian looked at Athena, who was clearly suppressing her anger, and felt a faint chill in his heart; this icy aura was simply too terrifying.

If one could say that the previous incident between Su Nian and Athena was an accident, then Shiroyasha was blatantly taking advantage of her on purpose.

As Athena, who had the Virgin Goddess inscribed into her Spirit Status, she was not only very mindful of her distance from men, but she also paid great attention to her distance from goddesses like Shiroyasha.

But who could have imagined that in just this one day, she would break both taboos.

"What? Jealous so soon?"

Shiroyasha pinched Athena's hand with a grin, rubbing against Athena's face as if they were best friends having a cuddle.

If one ignored Athena's somewhat stiff movements and expression.

"Rest assured, I won't have any ideas about Athena; it's just a little cuddle."

"I've been reformed for many years now."

Then could you please let go of me? Let us have a safe distance between us!!

Athena tensed her body, forcibly suppressing the urge to strike Shiroyasha with a spear.

If Shiroyasha weren't a Two-digit... but, I will endure...

Athena's expression was a bit hard to maintain; she somewhat regretted coming to attend Su Nian's banquet today.

Subsequently, after Shiroyasha took a deep breath against Athena's neck, she let go of Athena with a look of intoxication.

"As expected of the Goddess of Victory, this body fragrance is truly different, carrying the faint scent of olive blossoms."

Is there a possibility that it's because of the olive blossom wreath I'm wearing on my head?

The corner of Athena's mouth twitched, and she rubbed her brow with some helplessness.

"But Boss, why did you arrive so late?"

Su Nian asked Shiroyasha with some curiosity; hadn't Shiroyasha arrived too late?

Otherwise, how could the situation have turned into such an abstract mess?

Shiroyasha glanced at Athena and looked around the surroundings.

Those who noticed Shiroyasha's gaze averted their eyes one after another, fearing they would meet her eyes.

"Same old trash..."

Shiroyasha sneered; she had no fondness for these Gods and Buddhas who only knew how to watch the excitement.

Sooner or later, she would find an opportunity to clear them all out.

Then Shiroyasha narrowed her eyes and looked at Athena.

"Was Ares's affair arranged by you?"

"For that, you'll have to ask my second uncle, Poseidon."

Athena's expression darkened imperceptibly, but the next moment she beamed with a bright smile and looked at Su Nian.

"I would never use such low-level tactics."

Hearing this, Shiroyasha's brow twitched, and she looked at Athena with some suspicion.

"Could it be that you also know this news?"

What news?

Hearing Shiroyasha's words, Athena frowned slightly, then immediately returned to normal.

Noticing this, Shiroyasha seemed to regret asking that question.

But she immediately played dumb, looking at Su Nian with a grin.

"Speaking of which, your relationship with Jialing is confirmed; ask Jialouluo when you plan to set the wedding date with Jialing, and don't forget to get him a grandson."

"If you two don't want to raise it, he will; he's been bored enough these years anyway."

Su Nian instantly felt a headache coming on, and even Jialing, who was drinking by the window, felt somewhat helpless.

Why is it that even in Little Garden, one cannot escape being urged to marry and have children?

Athena, on the other hand, began to organize the information she had recently obtained, pondering what the news Shiroyasha had let slip just now actually was.

Her intuition told her that this news was extraordinary; if she missed it, that would be a true loss.

Although it might not necessarily cause harm to Greece or her interests, if she just let it slip by, she would definitely regret it for the rest of her life.

Wait, why did Shiroyasha arrive so late? Wasn't she "kept" by Su Nian?

Although the term "kept" was questionable, it was a fact that Shiroyasha spent more time in Arcadia than she did fooling around outside, and she spent more time at Thousand Eyes.

Then, for what reason did Shiroyasha leave Arcadia at such an important moment?

Right, and Shiroyasha has returned in her adult state, which suggests she most likely went to Heaven; combined with the fact that this was asked by Su Nian.

It suggests it most likely has to do with Su Nian... Su Nian? Dragon Species? Could it be the Heavenly Court?

Wait, Yang Jian! Shiroyasha went to see Yang Jian.

And she said "also," which means Shiroyasha is not the only one who learned this news.

It has to do with Su Nian and Yang Jian, and Yang Jian is currently the person in charge of the entire Eastern Pantheon...

Su Nian is also an Easterner...

A bright smile suddenly bloomed on Athena's face; she tilted her head slightly, looking at Su Nian on her right, as if she had thought of something.

As expected, this time is definitely a huge profit.

Athena's mouth curled up slightly, and she said with a hint of confidence.

"If you are talking about Yang Jian intending to test whether Su Nian has that qualification, I do indeed know."

Although it was just inferred, Athena was not very certain either.

Shiroyasha suddenly froze, then seemed to sigh again, as if she had figured something out.

Athena anxiously indicated that she and Su Nian were close, even taking the initiative herself; this was clearly abnormal, somewhat deliberate.

But if it were Athena who had learned that news, then this would be very normal.

"Sure enough, you know too."

The smile on Shiroyasha's face stiffened, and she said somewhat dejectedly.

"So I'm the only one kept in the dark, right?"

Remembering how she had excitedly gone to find Sun Wukong to share this good news, only to be left speechless by Sun Wukong, Shiroyasha's face twisted even more.

Never mind Sun Wukong knowing, how is it that even you, Athena, know? How do I not know you have connections in the Eastern Pantheon?

Su Nian's mouth twitched slightly, and he reminded Shiroyasha.

"Boss, uh, is there a possibility that I am the one who is completely in the dark?"

What information are you two exchanging? What is this and that? What exactly is that news?

This makes him, the person involved, look very dull, you know!

"Almost forgot about you; I can only say it is a great thing for you."

Shiroyasha's expression twisted for a moment; she glanced at Su Nian, then reached out to cut off the connection between here and the outside world, ensuring that even the Little Garden Central could not eavesdrop.

Shiroyasha looked at Su Nian with jealous, gritted teeth and said.

"You kid have really hit the jackpot this time."

"Previously, Yang Jian asked me to go to Heaven to bring you a message, after discussions by the Great Heavenly Venerable, the Dao Ancestor, and Nuwa."

"If you have the ability to hold onto the basic foundation of the entire Chinese Mythology in the conquest of Little Garden and Human History."

"They allow you to inherit the legacy they left behind."

After all, the Eastern Pantheon is notoriously competitive; from the moment they arrived in Little Garden, they became competitive to an unknown degree.

There was even a claim made public over there that after the Journey to the West, Little Garden was of no use to those great gods of the East.

Convergence of Human History? Merit? Useless things; it's better to cultivate ourselves.

So they decided not to play in Little Garden anymore and went off to do their own thing.

They only left Yang Jian to guard the foundation they had conquered in the past, to avoid another incident like Yuanqing where others took advantage of a lapse.

Hindered by their lingering prestige, no one dared to act openly, but they were quite bold in the shadows.

It was just like Manchukuo... of course, the fate of the culprits was also very miserable.

Regardless, it is better for this pot of meat to rot at home than to be stolen by others.

Besides, keeping Yang Jian in Little Garden all the time, he would have his own opinions too.

And now, hasn't a perfect successor popped up?

Leaving the legacy that cannot be taken away to Su Nian, who is also a descendant of Yan and Huang, is better than it being snatched away by others.

And one must give young people a chance, right?

As soon as Shiroyasha finished speaking, the air fell silent for a moment; Su Nian was also speechless, and Athena was so shocked that her mouth hung wide open.

Is this guy really not a counterpart of some Halloween Queen? He plays with the Boundary very skillfully, and he has inherited the legacy of many God Groups...

And one must know that the legacy of the Eastern Pantheon that Su Nian inherited is far more than the Celtic, Norse, Canaanite... God Groups inherited by the Halloween Queen combined.

Even Athena, who had been secretly designated as the Fourth Generation God King, could not help but feel a trace of jealousy at this moment.

How could the disparity between people be this great?

"You kid, don't miss the point; that is, talk about it only after you have the ability to hold onto the legacy."

Shiroyasha rolled her eyes at Su Nian, bringing Su Nian back to reality and making him sober up.

"At the very least, wait until you have defeated Yang Jian."
