When Su Mo was able to fulfill the wishes of the gods, had the ability to save Little Garden, and could show the god-groups a new future, he was hailed as the future master of Little Garden.
The gods flattered him to the extreme, wishing they could lift him onto the throne and let him rule the entire multiverse with his cosmology.
But when Su Mo refused to fulfill the wishes of the gods, refused to show the god-groups a new future, the atmosphere on the battlefield immediately became subtle.
The standard answer was clearly in Su Mo's hands, yet he refused to answer the question. This behavior was even worse than not knowing the answer from the beginning.
The gods guiding humanity, ensuring the development of human history—this was clearly the most beautiful future imaginable. Why did Su Mo have to refuse?
Recalling what Su Mo had said to the World-Honored One before the battle—"The fate of the god-groups may be destruction, but that doesn't mean human history will be cut short, nor does it mean Little Garden will be destroyed"—Su Mo's inclination was very dangerous.
There was nothing wrong with favoring humanity, but you were willing to risk the extinction of the god-groups to do so?
Although this was not the act of a Demon Lord, was someone who would make such a choice truly qualified to be the master of the gods?
Or was he, in essence... actually an enemy of the hundreds of millions of god-groups?
Realizing this possibility, the eyes of the hundreds of millions of god-groups began to show hostility towards Su Mo.
After confirming that Su Mo would not fulfill their wishes, they subconsciously recalled the difficulties Su Mo had caused them before, and their hostility deepened.
"Lord!"
Sensing the subtle change in atmosphere, Michael was not afraid. On the contrary, he roused his spirits and stood before Su Mo with his sword.
These stray dogs, who had just been thinking of abandoning Little Garden, now dared to bare their fangs at their Lord God?
Even if the pressure was not small, he didn't mind recreating the feat of a Demon Lord and challenging the hundreds of millions of god-groups.
For a time, the two sides were implicitly on the verge of a confrontation.
"Your Excellency Su Mo... and all my colleagues, please calm down!"
As the atmosphere between the two sides became subtly confrontational and intensified, the most uncomfortable and awkward were the gods standing in the middle.
Led by Zeus, the great father god of the Greek pantheon, these gods had made up their minds to defend Little Garden to the end before the battle between Su Mo and Azi Dahaka.
Therefore, they had been extremely supportive of Su Mo before.
After hearing the promises of the World-Honored One and other gods, although they were somewhat contemptuous of the fawning attitude of their colleagues, who had been rude before and respectful now, they were quite happy to see Su Mo become the master of Little Garden.
After all, Su Mo becoming the master of Little Garden could indeed solve the problem of the Eschatology theory and successfully save the entire multiverse from the Wind of Decadence.
As for the divergence between divine creationism and human creationism, as gods, the vast majority of them still supported the former.
But now, Su Mo had bluntly stated that he would not support divine creationism, giving up this victory that was within his grasp.
This troubled these neutral gods, who cared more about Little Garden.
The reason they supported Su Mo was that he had the potential to overcome the Last Embryo of Humanity and bring a better future to Little Garden.
But now, Su Mo had chosen to abandon divine creationism, for which there was already a standard answer, and had chosen human creationism, which even Su Mo himself had not yet fully constructed.
This gave them no reason to support Su Mo.
Let alone them, the neutral gods, even the beings in the lower and middle levels of Little Garden, even the humans among them, if they knew of this choice, would basically agree to divine creationism unconditionally.
There was no choice.
Choosing divine creationism was equivalent to choosing a future that had successfully overcome the Eschatology theory, without having to fear the crisis of extinction.
The only side effect at most would be that human history would be completely manipulated by mythological history from then on.
But for the vast majority of people, the gods guiding humanity was the most correct and accustomed thing, not a big deal at all.
And choosing human creationism, there was no guarantee. Who knew if Su Mo had the ability to come up with a complete human-side cosmology?
Don't look at how they had already overcome the Last Embryo of Humanity; that was only equivalent to knowing all the answers to the exam questions.
If one deliberately handed in a blank paper after knowing all the answers, then no matter how accurate the answer Su Mo had mastered was, it could not change the fate of failing.
And in the world of Little Garden, failing meant destruction. The Wind of Decadence was absolutely merciless.
Therefore...
"Your Excellency Su Mo, are you sure you want to decide the future of Little Garden with such a rash reason?" Hermes looked at Su Mo with a sincere expression, hoping that this being would change his opinion.
They didn't mind letting human history take the lead, but the prerequisite was that you had to have a complete human-side cosmology, right?
Was it really a good idea to bet the fate of Little Garden on the gambling table like this?
"A rash reason?" Hearing this, Su Mo raised his eyebrows slightly. "Although my thoughts are not purely based on my mood, and there are indeed many reasons... but in the final analysis, I have no obligation to explain to you, right?"
"This..." Hermes was at a loss for words.
He subconsciously looked at Canary, who was beside Su Mo, had once studied under him, and had a close relationship with the Greek pantheon, hoping that this cheap disciple could put in a good word for him.
However...
"I think Lord Su Mo is right!" Canary said with a sweet smile. "The fact that Lord Su Mo has the ability to save Little Garden doesn't mean he has to act in the way you all agree with, right?"
"Rather than blaming Lord Su Mo, I think some gods should reflect on why they have been in Little Garden for so long and have not been able to solve the Eschatology theory, but instead have to pin their hopes on others, and even show such a barbaric attitude..."
As she spoke, she smiled and glanced at the hundreds of millions of god-groups who were showing hostility. "A friendly reminder, this is not the attitude of someone asking for help!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the mockery of a mere human made the already dissatisfied god-groups furious.
"To say such sarcastic words in the face of Little Garden's crisis. Su Mo, do you think that the future of Little Garden, the fate of the multiverse, the survival of the god-groups, are not as important as the changes in your personal mood?! Do you disregard the will of us hundreds of millions of god-groups?!"
Righteously, several gods glared at Su Mo and made such accusations, even forgetting to use honorifics for Su Mo out of anger.
The other gods implicitly showed their approval.
No matter what, to ignore the opinions of hundreds of millions of god-groups so much, to ignore the survival of hundreds of millions of god-groups so much, this attitude was too dangerous. Even the three great problem children of the past combined were not as harmful as Su Mo.
Their opinion could be condensed into a very simple question: Su Mo, don't you know that a small whim of yours is a catastrophe for our god-groups?
And the answer to this question was actually self-evident... Of course, Su Mo knew.
So, faced with the hostility of hundreds of millions of god-groups, faced with the accusations of the agitated ones, he nodded as if a gentle breeze was blowing past his face and answered with an attitude as if it had nothing to do with him. "Yes."
"?!" This simple answer left the questioners and the surrounding gods dumbfounded.
"What did you say?" A god's eyes widened in disbelief, unable to believe what he had heard.
"I said yes," Su Mo said with a gentle expression, explaining with great patience. "I indeed do not take your so-called hundreds of millions of god-groups seriously, and I indeed think that you are weaklings who cannot withstand a single blow. Are there any other questions?"
The tone, which was too arrogant, to the point of being completely calm and collected, made the questioner speechless, his thoughts frozen in an instant.
And what froze their thoughts was not only the shock of Su Mo's answer but also the judgment of power without form.
In the next instant, these clamoring and boastful gods were silently turned to dust and ashes, and together with their Divinities, were completely erased from mythological history.
Su Mo had always been very patient, especially with the dead.
Silently, several thousand gods were easily killed by Su Mo.
"You! Your Excellency!"
At this moment, they finally remembered Su Mo's heaven-defying combat power and his decisive and ruthless attitude.
Before, because they had treated Su Mo as "one of their own," they had subconsciously ignored the threat of Su Mo's martial prowess. Only now did they realize a problem.
As Su Mo had said before, even if he really didn't take the hundreds of millions of god-groups seriously, even if he really wanted to be an enemy of the hundreds of millions of god-groups... it seemed that there was no one in this world who could control him?
Subconsciously, a god looked for help at the World-Honored One behind the hundreds of millions of god-groups.
The only one who could possibly fight against Su Mo, the only one who could possibly stop Su Mo's arbitrary atrocities of killing gods, was...
"Amitabha! Those who are disrespectful to the savior of the evil and heretical ways should be executed!"
The Buddha lowered his eyes and chanted a Buddhist mantra, with an attitude of turning a deaf ear to the outside world and staying out of it.
What a joke. The reason he was so careful when dealing with Su Mo was that he couldn't do anything about him, right?
These fools dared to provoke Su Mo to his face; they deserved to be killed.
Seeing the World-Honored One's attitude of not only not stopping but even helping to explain, the gods' hearts turned half cold.
Turning their heads, they saw the Twin Goddesses looking up at the sky, and their hearts turned completely cold.
The three leaders of the Full-Authority Domain didn't even dare to contend with Su Mo. What qualifications did they have to stand before him?
At this moment, Su Mo's voice sounded like a devil's voice from hell. "Is there anything else?"
Aren't you going to scram?
"No, nothing! We'll scram right now!"
The hundreds of millions of god-groups once again recalled Su Mo's dominant combat power and the humiliation of being completely crushed.
So, without a shred of dignity, as if they had been granted a special pardon, they immediately led their own gods and scrambled to leave.
Looking at the inglorious retreat of the hundreds of millions of god-groups, the young Little Black Rabbit's eyes flickered.
The reverence for the gods in her heart completely disappeared, replaced by the figure of Su Mo, deeply imprinted in her heart.
