(MC POV)

As I expected, the father immediately locked his eyes on me and pointed a finger at me, "What is this thing doing here?! How dare you?!"

Funny how he noticed me first before his daughter or even his wife.

I snapped my fingers and the mother was released from her bindings, swivelling around to gape at her husband.

"Dear? What… What happened? You… You woke up?"

The man raised an eyebrow, "Huh? What are you talking about? Of course I woke up. What is this thing doing in our hallowed halls? Don\'t tell me you\'re playing around with this thing behind my back?!"

"What?! No, no! Daer… You were in a coma for several weeks… This… This… This Divine Being saved you! He\'s someone above the Gods!"

Huh, that\'s a really quick change of attitude. Guess Long Er was right about this being enough to convince her mother of my identity although I can\'t help but be suspicious since that switch was so instantaneous.

The father however, was not so impressed, "What are you talking about? Do you think I was born yesterday or something? This thing doesn\'t even have a sliver of Divinity in it! There\'s no such thing as anything above Gods in the first place!"

I turned to Long Er, "So… What do I need to do to get this guy to shut up?"

The girl wrung her hands together nervously, "Fa… Father probably will only listen if you overpower him…"

Well, that\'s an even easier thing to do.

I raised my hand and lowered it, forcing him to slam face first onto the ground.

The woman gasped and moved to his side, "Dear?! What… What\'s wrong, dear?!"

The man growled, "How… How dare you! A mortal dares to… Wha… Why can\'t I… Why can\'t I move?!"

"Hmmm… Do you think this is enough? Or do I need to kill him at least once?" I asked.

The mother turned back to me in shock, "No! Please! I will convince my husband! There\'s no need to kill him!"

I mean… I wasn\'t planning to leave him dead after I killed him but I guess I\'ll just let her do the convincing instead.

I gestured for her to go ahead and she quickly redirected her attention back to her husband.

"Dear, he could restrain me despite my best efforts to break out of it, I wasn\'t even able to utilise my domain in front of him! Plus, Long Er saw with her own eyes where he killed one of our Disciplinary Elders as well!"

Instead of being pacified, he got even more angry when he heard the last part.

"What?! He killed one of us?! Then why shouldn\'t we kill him right now?! God or not, we\'ll just kill him and absorb his divinity for ourselves!"

"How did your family survive for so long with an idiot like this as your patriarch?" I asked Long Er, not even trying to hide my contempt.

The girl avoided my gaze and didn\'t answer my question.

Heh… This is honestly kind of fun.

The man roared out in rage but he remained stuck on the floor, unable to move.

The woman turned back to me again, "I… I apologize Great One… Could I plead with you to grant us some time by ourselves for just a while?"

Hmm… I could simply do that… Or I could have a bit more fun with them…

I narrowed my eyes at her, "Are you asking me to fuck off?"

Her eyes widened comically, "No! No!! That\'s not what I meant at all! It\'s just… My… My husband is a little confused! I… I just need some time to calm him down! Time that I\'m sure is precious to Great One and I would not wish to waste it for you!"

Wow, seeing her so desperate right now really is a big contrast to how she was acting before this.

Ok, ok. I\'m not that mean. I\'ll let her have it.

"Fine, I shall wait outside. Just one thing, do not call me \'Great One\'. There are other beings out there with that name and I most definitely am not one of them."

She quickly bowed her head, "Ye… Yes… My sincerest apologies!"

The man strained against his invisible bindings again, "How can you lower your head to something like that, my wife?! We make the Gods bow to us! We lock them up in our dungeons to extract their Divinity! They are the ones to plead with us, not the other way around!!"

I ignored his cries and stepped out of the room and into the courtyard, allowing the mother and daughter the space they needed to pacify that idiot.

At this point, I\'m pretty much convinced that the humans here were all idiots but I\'m just wondering what drove them to overthrow the Gods in the first place?

Was it because the Gods did this to them first and the humans learned and thus mimicked them after gaining their new position? Or were the humans purely driven by their own greed for power?

The way the mother changed her attitude so quickly also suggested to me that she had at least some experience in trying to curry favour or trying to please a being higher than her, so perhaps she had done this for the Gods before? Or was it to another human with more power than her?

I wouldn\'t be surprised if the answer was both actually, considering what I\'ve seen so far.

Oh but there was one bit of very interesting information I got from that conversation.

The father said they would lock up Gods to extract their divine essences, so that means they must have a dungeon around here and maybe there\'s still some gods locked inside?

That I definitely will need to go and see.

The question is whether I should sneak there myself or just make them bring me there?

Before I could reach an answer though, something ran straight to me and made a \'pomf\' sound when it hit my waist.

That something turned out to be a really happy Cai Hong hugging my waist and looking up at me with excitement.

"Papa back!! Papa play?"

Oh dear, how can I say no to a request like that?! Of course I\'m going to play with my little Cai Hong right now! Everything else can wait!
