Lein's feelings were complicated. He knew full well that if he made the wrong move, he'd end up inviting a Big Daddy—or even Taishang Laojun—to make his life difficult. But he had no choice.

He had ascended to godhood through [Physics], and knowledge of physics was the core of his divine power, the very foundation of his knowledge.

Archimedes was a great ancient Greek philosopher, encyclopedic scientist, mathematician, physicist, and mechanical engineer. He was a pioneer of statics and hydrostatics, and was honored with the title [Father of Mechanics].

But given the foundations of their respective knowledge, Archimedes was one of the forefathers of physics. Lein really couldn't treat him too badly.

When you encountered someone of such stature, you could deliberately pretend not
