Bai Lixin did not leave in the end. Although Dijia had revealed Bai Lixin's identity, he did not force the issue of staying or leaving. Bai Lixin insisted on staying, so he couldn't say anything more.
"Heh, why are you looking at me with such a sorrowful expression? If you want to stay, then you can stay. Can I tie you up and send you back?" Dijia compromised on seeing Bai Lixin's expression.
"Hey Dijia, Xin, come and taste the milk the women have heated for us. It's delicious!" A man burst into the house, carrying steaming milk in an earthenware bowl, only to see the two people facing each other in an extremely ambiguous position.
The man froze, and his face suddenly flushed.
They were clearly two men, but why was the atmosphere between the two of them the same as when he was with Maya......
Dijia let go of Bai Lixin and straightened his clothes before taking the milk. "Thank you."
The man hesitated for a moment, then said, "Er, well, the men have roasted deer outside. Would you like to try some?"
Bai Lixin stood up, straightening the clothes that had been loosened by Dijia, and said slowly, "Wait a moment, Dijia and I have a few things to discuss."
Dijia raised his eyebrows and looked back at Bai Lixin. In the end, he looked back at the man and said, "If it's convenient, leave some for us. If it's inconvenient, you can eat all the roasted meat. This milk is enough to satisfy our hunger."
It didn't matter whether there was food or not, or whether there was milk; they were gods. They didn't grow old or die, and didn't need to eat at all.
The man nodded and went out without asking more questions.
After the man left, Bai Lixin organized his words, "Dijia, you are the future Lord God, and when you ascend to the position of Lord God, you will create new twelve subordinate gods to assist you in managing the order of these billions of worlds. Do you know where those of us who have been eliminated will go?"
Bai Lixin's deep black eyes looked towards the rooftops where the sunlight cascaded down. His voice was full of the vicissitudes of time: "We will disappear. Gods do not die of old age but disappear into the vast void. You will become the new Lord God, and a new God of Love will appear. The gods will change, but people will not realize it. In their eyes, the God of Love is the God of Love, and will never change.
Dijia was silent for a moment, then said, "It is the law of the world that was born out of chaos. Besides, the gods have lived long enough compared to humans."
"But have you ever thought that some gods, immersed in divine power, are unable to extricate themselves and are unwilling to give it up?" Bai Lixin turned his words and whispered, "Why should the glory they have created be inherited by a hairy boy who appeared out of nowhere for all to praise? To fall from the altar of the gods into the abyss of death in one fell swoop? I'm afraid even the gods cannot fully accept it."
Dijia's eyes widened in slight surprise, "What do you mean by that?"
Bai Lixin wanted to go on, but he suddenly felt pain like pins and needles in his head. His expression changed and he lost consciousness before he could say anything else.
Dijia saw Bai Lixin's eyes change before he stumbled and fell onto the stone bench.
"Eros, what's wrong with you?" Dijia asked as he squatted down and held Eros up.
Dijia's eyes were fixed on Eros. When the face that was buried in his chest was revealed again, Dijia felt a sudden sense of discordance. Eros had been kind to him a moment ago, but Eros was now, once again, looking at him with disgust.
