Louis obediently agreed, clenching his fist and saying, "Elder sister, I'm not afraid of hard work, I will definitely study hard!"
Tan You chuckled softly, watching the little boy run downstairs.
Tartarus said calmly, "What you just said sounds exactly like something a cult leader would say."
After spending a lot of time with Tan You, Tartarus broadened his knowledge and even learned about the cult leader.
Tan You looked incredulous: "Me? A cult leader?"
"I'm working for you!"
"I'm just a messenger at best; you're the biggest cult leader!"
Tartarus enjoyed Tan You's blatant lies. He chuckled twice and moved on to another topic: "Are you now firmly binding these weaker races to your war chariot?"
"Don't be so pragmatic. Can't I empathize?" Tan You rolled her eyes. "I've only ever heard the saying, 'Respect the elderly as you would your own parents, and care for the young as you would your own children.'"
“Strong people have social responsibilities. Now that I have accepted your position, I should do my job well.”
"In my opinion, the value of a strong person lies not in how high their cultivation level is, nor in how much territory they have plundered, but in how many vulnerable groups they have protected."
Tartarus fell silent; he had never considered this possibility before.
"So that's where all that golden light around you comes from?" Tartarus looked at Tan You with a strange expression, clearly having hit the nail on the head.
Tan You nodded slightly: "More or less."
“If I submit my task and leave now, it will still be completed just as well, but that’s not what I want.”
“It’s not difficult to manage the life of an ordinary person. The real challenge is to improve the environment and even change the world. If my actions enable more people to make a living or even live better lives, I think that’s very meaningful.”
Tartarus stared at Tan You for a long time before laughing, "You and the God of Light are truly different in essence. You have a more human feel to you. Unlike that guy, whose eyes are practically floating to the sky."
Tan You said calmly, "He is a god who floats in the air. In fact, how many people can still look down on the masses after they have reached a high position? He is not an isolated case."
In fact, even Tan You herself found it unbelievable that she had turned a basic task into such a massive infrastructure project within the realm of a deity. The key point is that she had deliberately made it more difficult for herself, yet she seemed to enjoy it immensely.
Perhaps it's because this land is so vast and desolate that seeing it lying idle is something a Chinese person can't bear to see.
“When you came here, I felt that the Land of Exile… seemed to have come alive.” Tartarus stopped dwelling on the decrees issued by Tan You and started talking about the situation within the territory.
Have you ever heard of Ragnarok?
Tan You raised her eyebrows slightly: "There are such myths in my world, but I don't know much about them, so I can't really explain them to you."
Tartarus's expression was calm, as if he were talking about someone else: "Ten thousand years ago, I discovered that my divine power was gradually declining. After sending off one god after another, I knew that one day it would be my turn."
"What you're saying doesn't sound like your thing at all. You're too calm," Tan You said softly. "No matter what something is, it will eventually cease to exist."
“Even if one has cultivated to the level of a supreme god, there will be a moment of demise; it’s just a matter of time.” Tartarus liked Tan You’s composure. He smiled, and his previous seriousness vanished instantly. “But things are different now. Since you came to the Land of Exile, I’ve noticed that the rate at which my divine power is weakening is slowing down.”
Tan You was genuinely surprised this time: "I have this effect?"
"That only proves we're destined to meet, otherwise why would I have ended up in your territory?"
Tartarus couldn't help but laugh, agreeing with Tan You's words: "Yes, in the end, it's all because we're destined to be together."
His gaze fell on a row of fruit trees along the edge of the lord's manor wall: "These fruit trees are quite interesting; they actually managed to survive in the land of exile."
Tan You's lips curled up: "These are my greatest gains from the last world. They will follow me to every higher-dimensional world in the future. They can survive in heavily polluted places like the post-apocalyptic wasteland. The environment in the Exile Land is much better than that."
The apple trees and other plants that were released to roam freely were quite happy. These mutated plants, which Tan You had purified, eventually entered Tan You's spiritual spring space and left with her.
Tartarus didn't mince words with Tan You: "When you leave, you'll have to leave me some."
“No problem,” Tan You was particularly easy to talk to in this regard: “You can also plant it yourself, but the trees I induced to grow back then will not mutate. You can also try using divine power.”
Tartarus squinted at them: "No need to try. I have a feeling that only those that grow freely have the potential to mutate."
“Then you can cultivate it slowly,” Tan You said, spreading her hands. “Anyway, you have plenty of time. Just think of it as finding some fun in your barren life.”
Tartarus chuckled at Tan You's generosity.
Ever since 077 got the job as a projectionist, the screens in the sky have been constantly changing. For example, right now, the screen is showing a video of a brick kiln and brick firing.
Whether others are interested or not is another matter, but the goblins are definitely interested.
They also want to live in big houses and spend the winter peacefully. Who would want to live in a dark and damp cave all day long?
Besides, now that everyone has food and has taken care of the land around their clan's territory, they have some free time. If, as the video says, they can really build a brick kiln and fire bricks, then how far away is the heated kang (traditional Chinese bed)?
The goblin race spontaneously started to improve people's lives, and Tan You specially sent Carlos with a few capable undead to make a trip, while also providing detailed technical guidance.
In this way, the goblin race completely shed its former timidity and decadence, and the race seemed to suddenly develop a courageous and upward ambition.
Tan You was happy to see this happen; she liked her people who were striving on their own.
The orcs weren't idle either; they were currently building workshops. Tan You had planted staple foods like sweet potatoes, corn, and potatoes on one half of her land, and cotton on the other half.
Tartarus also played a crucial role in promoting cotton production, but with the cotton harvest imminent, the corresponding workshops and other facilities had not yet been established.
The dwarves were also busy. With cotton, they needed spinning wheels and looms. They were researching looms, and the blueprints were naturally provided by Tan You.
It can only be said that the more worlds one experiences, the more knowledge one acquires, and naturally, the more things one collects.
