In Ming Ge's definition of magic, it is the dividing line between law and reason.

It is within the scope of the law, yet it also possesses a portion of the power of reason.

"That..."

Artemis asked, "Does Ming Ge want to become a god?"

I guess so.

Ming Ge nodded and said, "The puppets I created possess bodies with Soul Materialization. In terms of the essence of life, they are not much weaker than the gods, and have begun to possess the characteristics of eternity."

"Having achieved this level of success, isn't it only natural to have this kind of ambition?"

"That's true." Artemis nodded in agreement.

Come to think of it, Artemis actually took the initiative to start a conversation?

Ming Ge couldn't help but chuckle at Artemis's somewhat proactive demeanor.

She's too naive; all her thoughts and intentions are obvious. Ming Ge could see right through her.

The two chatted for about ten minutes before Mavis arrived at his destination.

When Artemis returned the cubs to the mother bear, it was time for them to part.

Seeing Artemis's expression as if she wanted to say something, Ming Ge smiled and said, "If you have time, you can come to Orario. I'll certainly do my best to be a good host."

"Besides, your weapon is still on my person. Consider it a testament to my great deeds. What do you say?"

"That's fine." Artemis seemed a little awkward, but she didn't object.

"The goddess over there is the same; you can come to Orario sometime."

Ming Ge looked to the side, and a golden figure trembled slightly before emerging from behind the tree.

"Aphrodite?!"

Artemis exclaimed in surprise, "What are you doing here?"

"Hmph, of course they heard that a goddess like you descended to the mortal realm, so they came down specifically to mock you."

Aphrodite, hands on her hips, said smugly.

She was slightly plump, dressed in meaningless and somewhat transparent clothes, adorned with gold, silver and gemstones, and had golden hair; by lower standards, she possessed the beauty of a girl over fifteen.

More importantly, she exudes an inexplicable charm that is irresistible, a unique quality characteristic of the goddess of beauty.

Fortunately Ming Ge was able to perfectly control her emotions, and even when she looked at Aphrodite, her heart was not stirred in the slightest.

Goodbye then.

Ming Ge nodded slightly, then was enveloped in Mavis's light.

The next moment, Mavis transformed into her elemental form, and the two disappeared.

"You're leaving already?"

Aphrodite was stunned, and like Aqua, she shouted, "Damn it! How dare he ignore the charm of this goddess? Is this guy made of stone?!"

"No, a stone can't make you make that kind of face."

Seeing Artemis's wistful expression, Aphrodite's displeasure turned into a strange, doting smile.

"Speaking of which, what's wrong with that man? He completely ignored my charm."

Aphrodite deliberately descended near Artemis, as the goddess of beauty could directly bewitch humans, and thus found Artemis without much trouble.

It can only be described as a coincidence, something that would likely have been missed in the original story, but which came together under Ming Ge's unintentional influence.

Chapter 137 As the Goddess of Beauty

Did you come here specifically to see me?

Artemis simply tilted her head.

"No, I came here specifically to mock you!"

Aphrodite seemed to have her defenses broken by Artemis's words, and her haughty declaration made Artemis immediately understand her meaning.

"It's been five hundred years since we last met, and I never expected to see you again in the mortal realm."

Artemis sighed.

"Indeed, I never expected that Artemis would suddenly become enlightened upon our reunion."

Aphrodite couldn't help but smile, teasingly asking, "This child in your arms, could it be the fruit of your love?"

"If you keep talking nonsense, I'm leaving."

Upon hearing this, Artemis was somewhat displeased.

Deities cannot have offspring, because their existence is a manifestation of the rules.

It's not entirely impossible, but even in the celestial realm, it would be considered a miracle.

This is common knowledge to the gods, which is why the goddess of chastity was displeased.

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything more."

Aphrodite coughed, abandoning her intention to continue teasing.

If we really let Artemis leave, wouldn't we be at a loss this time?

"Tell me about that man."

At least you need to know about that man, and then you can turn around and mock her mercilessly.

"Um... actually, I'm in a difficult position too."

Artemis said, puzzled, "Actually, I didn't feel the love you once spoke of, it's just... that child was accepted by Orion."

They once discussed the topic of love in the heavens, but of course, the final result was that Aphrodite was shot in the buttocks by Artemis's arrow and fled, losing face terribly.

Artemis knew that Aphrodite was an expert in matters of love, so after a moment's hesitation, she laid out all her thoughts and doubts.

"He's been approved by Orion... not exactly enlightened, no, it seems there are signs of enlightenment."
