Chapter 166: Chapter 168: As for seniority, everyone has their own opinion

“Aladdin, about the princess… it seems that might fall through. I have to go to the Netherworld in three days, sigh,” Qin Muye stated with a furrowed brow and a distressed expression.

He hadn’t even completed his main tasks yet, and experiencing a fairytale was one thing, but how was he supposed to become a king of a kingdom?

Aladdin’s face was filled with terror, “Aren’t you alive and well? Why do you suddenly have to go to the Netherworld?”

“Uncle, is it because you went to propose to the princess for me?” Aladdin asked sorrowfully.

Qin Muye nodded, “Pretty much…”

If he hadn’t gone to ask for Aladdin, he wouldn’t have run into Hades face to face, nor would he have suddenly gained a “father.”

“Then… what should we do? Can’t we use the treasures in the treasury to exchange for you not going to the Netherworld?” Aladdin said with a sobbing tone.

Qin Muye fell silent for a moment, feeling that the young man’s sincerity made it hard for him to refuse.

“Just from what you said, I should also take you to meet King Sisyphus, perhaps you could directly marry the princess,” Qin Muye asserted with determination.

If this young man hadn’t spoken those words, Qin Muye would have definitely thought of an excuse to back out, but this young man was a good person.

“What, won’t that anger King Sisyphus? Maybe, uncle, you should leave quickly,” Aladdin said.

“No, it won’t. We are relatives,” Qin Muye said with some melancholy.

He had just stepped out the door and already had to rely on familial connections, oh… Aladdin was technically in the same generation as the “Prince Charming” related to his original self, which was rather amusing.

“Relatives?”

Aladdin couldn’t wrap his head around how they had suddenly become relatives.

“Don’t ask too much, just follow me.”

Qin Muye brought Aladdin back to the palace, and both Sisyphus and Moluo Po were somewhat puzzled.

After Qin Muye briefly introduced Aladdin’s situation, the expressions of the two became solemn; this couldn’t possibly be a coincidence.

“So, you want my daughter to marry this young man, Aladdin?” Moluo Po spoke.

“That’s the idea, if you can activate the Zeus Divine Power within Aladdin, perhaps Corinth could have another demigod not unlike Hercules,” Qin Muye said.

Though Zeus was reckless and callous, his bloodline was indeed formidable. Currently, Aladdin hadn’t awakened any divine power, so he was just a mortal.

Qin Muye found that the Titan Divine Race had no intention of keeping their bloodline a secret; instead, they spread it far and wide, leading to those with Titan bloodline being found just about everywhere.

Nor did it seem like the other types of divinities felt discontented or felt desecration from this, which was quite bizarre for a divine race.

Moluo Po didn’t speak but waited for Sisyphus to make a decision.

Sisyphus tapped the armrest of his throne with his index finger, apparently pondering Qin Muye’s proposition.

“Let’s meet first then. If the two truly fall in love, I will agree to their union,” Sisyphus said.

He had also realized that Zeus’s gift to Aladdin had been intercepted by Qin Muye; but considering Qin Muye’s identity, Zeus dared not act, as Hades was watching.

Minor issues were fine before, but now if he dared to threaten the only heir of Hades, relations would truly sour.

More importantly, since this whole event was brokered by them, if Zeus acted, even without evidence, he would be sided against, and without Hades’ support, life for Zeus and Poseidon would be difficult.

Thus, even if he wanted to kill, he could not take action; in fact, he had to protect the other party instead.

But Qin Muye being out of trouble didn’t mean his Kingdom of Corinth would be safe. Once Qin Muye was taken back to the Netherworld, Zeus would still not spare him.

Aladdin, meant distinguished faith.

But now Aladdin seemed to have been led astray by Qin Muye, becoming one of their people.

The conflict between Hades and Zeus was known by all gods and mortals.

Thus, Sisyphus believed Qin Muye had already been endorsed with the identity of Hades’ son, and that was why it was so.

It was precisely because of this that he agreed for Aladdin and Bedel to meet. He also trusted Qin Muye’s judgment quite a bit; it was unlikely that he would deceive his own relative.

The two met and took an instant liking to each other.

And then there was no after…

Such a situation made Moluo Po wonder if Aphrodite, the Goddess of Love and Beauty, had intervened. Otherwise, how could it have been love at first sight?

But Qin Muye held a different opinion, he felt that it was more likely the work of the Fates than of Aphrodite.

After all, it seemed more like fate than love.

However, in the end, both Moluo Po and Sisyphus didn’t say much, seemingly agreeing with the situation of the two.

The only thing to do was to find a way for the Zeus Divine Power inside Aladdin to awaken. By that time, even if Hera knew about it, it wouldn’t matter. She might be jealous, but Moluo Po was no easy opponent. She might not be able to surpass the Queen of Heaven Hera in terms of status and authority, but her family background was strong.

Theoretically, Hera and Moluo Po’s families were actually the same, but the actions of Zeus’s family back then were too extreme; their family suffered and had no one who could help, and would rather see Zeus’s family dead.

“I will resolve Aladdin’s situation as quickly as possible; awakening the Zeus Divine Power is not a simple matter, and it may take some time,” Moluo Po said.

This affair certainly had to be handled by Moluo Po, after all, she was Divine, and Sisyphus was not.

Of course, to upset Zeus a bit, the previous generation of Titan Divines would certainly not be stingy, and from this, it was evident that Zeus was already quietly preparing to move against the Ocean God, Oceanus.

Therefore, it was naturally impossible to sit back and wait for nothing; there must be a method of retaliation in plan.

“I will not be involved in this matter, nor is it convenient for me to be. In two days, I’ll be heading to the Netherworld,” Qin Muye stated bluntly.

Sisyphus and Moluo Po were not surprised by Qin Muye’s imminent departure to the Netherworld; they had known all along that Hades would not let his offspring wander the Mortal World without becoming Divine.

What they actually found quite strange was why Qin Muye wasn’t born Divine, but was merely mortal.

One would think that, whether it was Hades or Liu Ke, the Ocean Goddess, being of the Titan Divine Race, their offspring would naturally be Divine and hold innate authority.

But on reconsideration, since the other had been immersed in the Nether River right after birth, perhaps that was precisely what eliminated their divine power; however, the authority did not disappear and seemed to have merged with the Netherworld, birthing a new authority altogether. It only appeared that they had not fully mastered it yet.

These were matters they felt embarrassed to ask about, after all, his misfortune was enough already—mentioning it would seem like a lack of tact.

“Alright, then. May the wind be in your favor on your journey, and feel free to visit the Corinth Kingdom sometime. We will host you with our finest banquet, Dionysus,” Moluo Po said.

In Moluo Po’s eyes, Qin Muye should be aligned with their faction and not close to Zeus, which is why she made the invitation.

“…” Qin Muye felt his heart pound; how had this name of Dionysus come to be attached to him?

Currently, Dionysus had not yet been born, and it seemed that Hades had intentionally spread this name. This was asking for trouble.

He pondered that if, after three days, he didn’t want to follow them to the Netherworld, others in this world would have to call him Dionysus.

This was pushing ahead at a forced pace.

“Well, I hope I can make it out…” Qin Muye spoke slowly.

Aladdin, standing beside him, seemed to realize that Qin Muye’s journey to the Netherworld wasn’t so simple; did it feel more like going home?

If not, Sisyphus and Moluo Po wouldn’t be talking in such a manner, letting Qin Muye come back from the Netherworld—more importantly, why even his name had changed?

Although Aladdin was full of doubts, he knew it wasn’t the time to ask, so he kept his questions to himself.

“So, what do you plan to do in these two days, Dionysus? Stay in the Corinth Kingdom and I’ll show you around, or do you plan to meet some other people?” Sisyphus asked.

Qin Muye thought for a moment; the three days were just a pretense, and he didn’t really know anyone.

“Then I’ll trouble King Sisyphus. I would like to witness the grandeur of the Corinth Kingdom,” Qin Muye said, being complimentary.

Though called a kingdom, it was really just a city-state, and most city-states called themselves kingdoms.

However, there was a difference between one city-state and another; the Corinth Kingdom could be considered among the top tier, given its profound background, not something ordinary kingdoms could match.
