Chapter 177 Meeting the Gods (Bonus Chapter 2 for Monthly Tickets)
Queen Rose stood at the entrance to the Divine Assembly Hall, her steps slightly hesitant.
This is not the main gate to the Divine Assembly Hall, but rather the passageway between the royal palace and the Divine Assembly Hall. It is also the only passageway to the Divine Assembly Hall besides the entrance used by Tang Zijun and the others.
Standing before the gate, Ruosi unconsciously tightened her grip on her skirt, and her bright eyes trembled slightly.
My breathing was a little rapid, and each heartbeat felt like a drumbeat, clearly audible in the silent hall.
Her once sleek long hair, neatly combed, now had a few strands falling down, clinging to her sweat-dampened cheeks.
It's absolutely impossible not to be nervous.
Even as the queen of the Flower Fairy Clan, meeting a noble deity was something she had never dared to dream of before, let alone the fact that this deity had just saved their lives, including the Tree God.
Her gaze was fixed on the door leading to the Divine Assembly Hall, her eyes filled with both awe and an indescribable anticipation.
The ancient history that the high priest had told her kept replaying in her mind. In the mythological era, it required extremely complicated conditions to meet the gods.
Even the etiquette for meeting deities is extremely strict; the slightest carelessness could lead to committing a grave offense against the gods.
A flood of thoughts rushed in, making her already chaotic thoughts even more confused. She didn't know how to greet the other person or what posture she should maintain.
She imagined what God looked like—whether He was majestic or kind.
Ruosi took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, but her heart continued to beat faster and faster.
"His Majesty.."
At this moment, Lotes, who was behind Rose, spoke up.
"Go quickly, don't keep that god waiting."
A flicker of panic crossed Ruosi's eyes, but she quickly suppressed her nervousness, regained her composure, and nodded gently.
"I understand. Wait for me here."
"Yes," Lotes replied respectfully.
After a moment of silence, Queen Rose's eyes revealed a firm resolve, a determination to hold this meeting in mind.
Slightly straightening her chest, Ruosi made herself stand even straighter, and then finally took a step forward and pushed open the door.
Then came the response: "I don't care, I don't care, I don't care! No matter how you calculate it, eight thousand dollars a month is too little! I'm working for God!"
In the past, even a lowly servant was considered a divine servant. Have you ever seen a divine servant earn eight thousand a month?!
"How come I never realized you were such a money-grubber...?"
"I'm not greedy; I'm just fighting for what's rightfully mine, Lao Chang, aren't you right?"
"I think this income is indeed a bit..."
"Um?"
"...But then again, the boss naturally has his reasons."
"Damn, Lao Chang, you're too soft-boned!"
"You're stiff-boned, aren't you? Let me loosen your bones for you."
"What are you doing? I'm warning you, don't mess around, or even if you're my boss, I won't hold back..."
"No, no, no! I'm sorry, it itches so much! Little Grey! Little Grey, peck his eyes!"
"Old Chang, look, the weather's nice today."
"Indeed, what did you have for breakfast?"
"The sunflower seeds and apples I ate were homegrown, and they smelled amazing."
"Really? Bring me some when you have time, I'll let my daughter try some."
"No problem, I've got your back."
"Hahaha...hahaha! You son of a bitch, Little Grey!!"
Queen Rose stared blankly at the scene unfolding in the hall.
The being known as God was playfully fighting with Mr. Qin's descendant. His slender fingers accurately tickled Qin Nan's skin with each strike. Meanwhile, the fallen one who had turned to the light had a parrot on his shoulder, its body radiating natural blessings. He was completely oblivious to the scene behind him, carefully studying the chandelier on the ceiling.

Ruosi was stunned for a long time, unable to find any opportunity to interject.
It was Tang Zijun who noticed her presence and quickly stopped Qin Nan, who was about to bite her.
"Ahem, stop fooling around, mind your manners, young people are just too active."
With that, Tang Zijun straightened her collar and walked toward Queen Ruos with a serious expression.
Only Qin Nan remained, staring at Tang Zijun with incredulous eyes.
What kind of face-changing master is this?!
"Your Majesty, right? This is our first meeting. Let me introduce myself. My name is Tang Zijun, or you can call me Wolf Rider."
Tang Zijun walked solemnly to Ruosi and nodded gently.
It wasn't until this moment that Ruosi snapped out of her daze. She nodded blankly, then her excellent composure allowed her to forget what had just happened and instead bowed respectfully.
"Marilynka Lovis Dilibel Rose, the eleventh generation of the Tree Crown Royal Family and the current Flower Fairy Queen, pays her respects to God-Lord."
"Mary... Your Majesty Ruth, may I address you that way?" The other person spoke too quickly and her words were rather colloquial, so Tang Zijun didn't remember them for a moment.
"You may call me Ruosi; I am not worthy of the title Her Majesty in your presence."
Although the playful fight just now was a bit unbelievable to Ruosi, it also made her less nervous than before, and she relaxed a bit more.
"You don't need to call me a god. I'm not a god. I'm just an ordinary person who was lucky enough to gain some power."
"Yes"
Ruosi nodded without any hesitation.
If God says he is a man, then he is a man.
Anyway, many gods in the mythological period liked to do this, so Ruosi didn't think much of it and just assumed that Tang Zijun in front of her had the same quirks as Zeus and the other gods.
Now that we've exchanged greetings, let's get down to business.
Tang Zijun wasn't one to keep things mysterious, so he sat down, looked down at Queen Ruos, and began to speak.
"...Actually, I should apologize to you. I brought you here without telling you, and even brought your tree spirit with me. I hope you don't think I'm blaspheming your god."
Startled by Tang Zijun's words, Ruosi quickly spoke up. "You don't need to apologize. We should be thanking you for saving us. If it weren't for your help, our entire clan would probably have been annihilated by the spatial turbulence long ago."
Tang Zijun nodded slightly, but did not linger on the topic.
"Actually, besides checking on your condition, I also wanted to talk to you about your God."
Ruosi listened and fell silent. She had already guessed Tang Zijun's thoughts. The existence of the Tree God was indeed quite subtle and a topic that could not be avoided no matter what.
After a moment of contemplation, Ruosi lowered her head slightly.
"I understand that you would not act without reason, nor would you casually share your divine domain with other gods. If you can help us awaken the Tree God, then our Flower Fairy Clan is willing to become your followers."
Upon hearing this, Tang Zijun swallowed back the words she was about to say.
He didn't understand what "family members" meant, but judging from the context, it was probably a type of divine servant.
To be honest, Tang Zijun saved the Flower Fairy Clan on a whim. He had no intention of ruling these Thumbelinas. On the contrary, he wanted to explore the history of reality through these immortal beings.
However, since the other party had spoken, Tang Zijun did not refuse. However, he noticed a key point in Ruosi's words.
She gave Chang Lei a subtle wink, and Chang Lei immediately understood and asked a question.
"...What do you mean by 'awakening the tree spirit'? Aren't your gods already dead?"
Ruosi's expression remained unchanged as she respectfully looked at Tang Zijun's shoelaces. "The Tree God did indeed perish thousands of years ago... However, thanks to your great intervention, the Tree God does show some signs of recovery."
Tang Zijun raised an eyebrow. Well, this is a god who can resurrect.
It's unclear whether this resurrection is an innate talent of the Tree God or a result of reversing the rules of the world.
"You should understand that the tree spirit in your memory has indeed fallen into history. This Tree of Life is something new."
"I see."
Queen Rose lowered her head.
"But in any case, they are our creators after all. Our Flower Fairy clan was born from the Tree God's grace, and now it's time for us to repay that grace..."
"If you grant our request, we will care for this young new tree spirit as the tree spirit cared for us back then, and at the same time,"
We will also become your family and serve you.
"Um."
Tang Zijun fell into deep thought.
He now understands what this tree god is all about.
The original Tree of Life had indeed fallen, and it was dead beyond any doubt. However, although the divine tree was dead, its body remained intact for thousands of years and has been passed down to the modern era.
However, due to Sir Skeleton's corruption, the remains of the Tree of Life were corrupted by heretics, and in the end, even the body of the divine tree was occupied by Sir Skeleton.
However, it was precisely because of Sir Skull's possession that the Heart of Life merged back with the Tree of Life in another way. Coupled with the laws of the reversed world, a "Divine Tree Baby" with a body of tens of thousands of years was born.
However, she is still extremely weak, so weak that she cannot even control her own energy, let alone respond to the calls of the flower fairies.
With that in mind, Tang Zijun knew what to do next.
"I agree to your request. After all, it's safer for you to stay here than in the real world, but I also have my own requirements."
"I know that you are the new god of greed, and naturally you need suitable sacrifices. I will periodically select suitable members of my tribe to offer to you, or help you find suitable human sacrifices..."
"Huh? No, no, no, that's not what I meant."
Tang Zijun quickly interrupted Ruosi before she could say anything even more frightening.
"I don't need your sacrifices. I only have one request: that you be moved to your original mirror dimension."
Queen Ruos paused for a moment, seemingly not quite reacting.
She had imagined all sorts of terrible endings, and even thought that the other party would cruelly strip the Divine Tree of its power, strangle it in the Reversal World, and enslave the Flower Fairy Clan.
But to her utter surprise, the other party's request was so simple.
It's simple, even somewhat unbelievable.
