Orario will undergo major changes.
Whether Gods or Adventurers, they will usher in a brand new 'Labyrinth City' under the new system.
As the discussion progressed, one main god felt puzzled.
He walked out of the crowd with a half-smile on his face.
Hermes took off the hat typically worn by bards and bowed to Chen Hai.
"Nice to meet you, Lord Chen Hai, I am Hermes."
"I know you."
"Oh? That's quite a surprise. I, on the other hand, know nothing about you; but that's not the point... I'm very curious why you, possessing such immense power, who could easily conquer this city, chose to cooperate with us?"
"Orario is merely the starting point."
Starting point?
Hermes looked utterly bewildered.
"What do you mean?"
Hestia was quite direct.
She asked when she didn't understand, awaiting an answer.
Chen Hai looked down at the scene; the main gods and powerful Adventurers gathered there were all watching him.
"Gods come from the heavens, monsters come from the Dungeon labyrinth, and humans live upon this earth. Have you ever considered? There are differences between the three; they are not on the same plane."
"Are you saying that gods, humans, and monsters are all outsiders to each other?"
Loki understood Chen Hai's meaning.
He nodded, affirming,
"That is correct. The three are actually from different planes, ultimately connected by the Dungeon, and my Dungeon... can actually connect to many more worlds."
At these words, the scene once again erupted in an uproar.
Besides the heavens, the human realm, and the Dungeon, there were many more planes!
The gods had never considered this question.
Enjoying themselves in Orario, seeking thrills, they had never sought new possibilities.
"To me, Orario is just the starting point, and the true enemies are the myriad worlds you have yet to know."
"The myriad worlds? Even as a god, I never thought of venturing beyond this world to other planes."
Loki was a conservative in this regard.
So, the question is… Hephaestus and Hestia exchanged glances, then asked about the 'myriad worlds':
"Are there terrifying enemies in other worlds?"
"Maybe, maybe not, who knows?"
Chen Hai's answer was ambiguous, and Hephaestus could only smile wryly.
To the gods, everything Chen Hai brought overturned their imagination and broke conventions.
Everything was so unfamiliar, just like when the main gods first descended upon this world.
"I believe Chen Hai-kun has made his purpose and future plans clear. Now, let's talk about something more relaxed, shall we?"
Freya turned to Chen Hai.
"Indeed, I also don't want this to be a serious occasion."
"You can bring out what's prepared."
After he said this, the main door of the gathering place was pushed open again.
Members of the Freya Familia brought out all the food and drinks.
The gods would regularly hold a Gods' Assembly, and for them, this was just an early gathering.
Of course, the topics discussed this time were completely different from the past.
Chen Hai, the Dungeon Lord from the Dungeon, had changed the existing rules and ushered in a new era for Orario.
The main gods then raised their glasses and moved towards Chen Hai's location.
They wanted to know more.
Why?
The answer was obvious.
Because the gods had already realized this.
For thousands of years, the 'core' that brought them joy was the Dungeon, full of all possibilities.
Now that the 'Dungeon Lord' had appeared, it was impossible for them not to be interested.
"Wow, so many people!"
Because Hestia was standing with Chen Hai, she was suddenly surrounded by a sea of people.
Many of them were Adventurers accompanying the main gods.
"Mr. Chen Hai! Can we really go to the deep levels of the Dungeon?!"
"Everyone's safety can be guaranteed?!"
"How will it be guaranteed?!"
"Monsters won't attack us?!"
"Does this mean we can freely go to the Dungeon to find materials from now on?!"
"I want some rare materials, so I don't have to worry about being attacked by the monsters guarding them, right?"
"If we don't have to worry about monsters… wouldn't Orario be invincible? Because this way, we can get what's in the Dungeon…"
Caught in the middle, Hestia swayed.
As Chen Hai held her, people from the Loki Familia and the Freya Familia began to drive away the surrounding crowd.
"Combat is necessary."
Loki answered the question everyone cared about most.
"It's just that, in Chen Hai's rules, there's no need to gamble with one's life."
Before she finished speaking, another figure appeared beside Loki.
It was Dionysus, who had come over.
He grabbed Chen Hai's shoulder.
"May I interrupt! Esteemed Mr. Dungeon Lord!"
"Of course, I'm free now."
"Please come this way."
Chen Hai accepted Dionysus's invitation, handed Hestia over to Hephaestus, and followed the other god.
Seeing Chen Hai leave willingly, no one dared to stop him.
On the top floor balcony of The Tower of Babel, two more figures appeared.
Upon arriving, Chen Hai immediately heard Dionysus's excited statement:
"The 'Dungeon Lord,' your identity overturns our imagination."
"So?"
"I believe a new era will begin, not just for Orario, but it will even affect the entire world!"
Dionysus spread his arms.
"Allow me to speak frankly, your cooperation with the gods of Orario is a wrong decision. They once slaughtered each other in the Celestial Realm, indulging in chaos. Faced with the benefits you bring, they will surely take unfavorable actions against you once things stabilize."
"Why are you telling me this?"
"I believe it's necessary to eliminate some gods and their Familias who are highly likely to resist you."
Dionysus, with a serious expression, began to incite Chen Hai.
His inherent wickedness was exactly as imagined.
"There is indeed that possibility, Dionysus. I will consider your proposal. As a reward for telling me this… would you like to see the deep levels of the Dungeon?"
"Oh?! Is that possible?"
"Of course."
Chen Hai walked in front of Dionysus and patted his shoulder.
"I have a subordinate you'd definitely want to meet. It can probably achieve your goal and help us both eliminate those main gods with rebellious intentions."
The subordinate Chen Hai referred to here was Dead Dragon Ignis of the Abyss Floor.
Bringing it a god as a snack would surely make Ignis very happy.
