Weak? Pitiful? Helpless?
Do you want to hear which of these words can describe you?
Someone was speechless. They couldn't understand why Lynn, who had been showing such a strong and domineering demeanor since appearing, had the face to say such things.
However, despite being speechless, they had some thoughts about the situation, so the Lord of Storms spoke up, looking somewhat irritable, "If the content of the transaction involves harming one of the participants at the tea party, will you supervise both parties after the deal is made?"
Although his tone was urgent, Leodero's words were undoubtedly to the point.
Hearing this, Lynn glanced at the Lord of Storms and then smiled, "I think you misunderstood something. I only guarantee the safety of everyone present during the tea party. What you do outside of this time is none of my business."
"For example, if Solomon and the True Creator decide to kill Tudor, and they choose to do it during the tea party, I will stop them. But at any other time, it's between the three of them. Whether I get involved or not depends entirely on my own will." Lynn said this with a very relaxed attitude.
The Blood Emperor Tudor's face turned livid upon hearing this.
Tudor knew that Lynn was targeting him, but he also knew he couldn't defeat Lynn. Even his three closest confidants had already become Lynn's followers.
"So, does anyone have any more questions?" Lynn smiled again, "If not, let's continue today's journey of exploring the Pre-Epoch."
The true gods and angels present looked at each other. Finally, the Evernight Goddess spoke, "When will the next tea party be held?"
"We haven't set a specific time yet. After all, frequent gatherings of people like us would make others wary!" Lynn joked, "When I decide on the time, I will send invitations to everyone promptly."
At this point, Lynn seemed to remember something and revealed a mysterious smile, "Of course, the invitation might not reach you in this Epoch. Next time, I might invite your future selves."
Those who understood Lynn's words were naturally shocked, while those who didn't understand looked at those who did with puzzled expressions, deciding to ask them privately later.
"Then I have no more questions." The Evernight Goddess resumed her quiet demeanor.
The others remained silent as well, not because they had no questions, but because they had reservations and wanted to learn more about Lynn before asking.
Seeing that the group had finally quieted down, Lynn nodded in satisfaction and smiled, "Then let's continue enjoying 'Journey to the West'!"
Lynn organized the tea party of the gods for several reasons: to satisfy his own quirks, to leave more marks of himself in this world, to facilitate cooperation with the gods, and ultimately to build a platform similar to the Tarot Club.
After all, creating a platform is the most profitable. Lynn knew that at first, the true gods and angels would be cautious and only engage in minor transactions. But as time went on the tea party's credibility grew, and he became more familiar with the other true gods and angels, Lynn could turn this platform into a top-tier trading event of Sequence 0 level.
It might seem thankless, but the hidden benefits are substantial—such as intelligence and connections.
As for the possibility of someone not participating anymore—it's simple logic. Unless everyone trusts each other and believes that no one else will attend the tea party or won't collaborate against them during it, those who attend once are unlikely to miss a second time.
Who can tolerate a group of gods and angels conspiring behind their backs without knowing anything?
Attending the tea party at least provides a chance to discover some clues in advance. Not attending means being blindly played by others.
In the mysteries world where high-sequence beings constantly scheme against each other, complete trust is impossible.
Lynn could even imagine some of them promising each other not to attend, only to find each other at the tea party, creating an awkward situation.
Hopefully, no one would be so unlucky, or he'd feel second-hand embarrassment for them.
The television played a famous scene with Sun Wukong, making Lynn almost laugh out loud. By the way, Lynn hadn't started playing 'Journey to the West' from the beginning; he had selected and played the important and funny parts.
Due to the limited time the historical projection could be maintained, and needing constant renewal, even with his hacks, Lynn wasn't a professional Fool, so he could only selectively play some content.
Lynn glanced at the various gods in the banquet hall, each deep in thought, and gave them enough time to ponder.
Then he saw Antigonus seriously watching the television screen, clearly trying to absorb the history of the Pre-Epoch.
Lynn thought for a moment and walked over to Antigonus, "Are you curious about the history of the Pre-Epoch?"
Antigonus's body stiffened, obviously conflicted, but eventually, he nodded, "I am a bit curious."
"I like dogs who love learning; you're quite promising!" Lynn patted Antigonus on the shoulder and then produced a book from nowhere, placing it in front of Antigonus.
It was a translated version of 'Journey to The West.'
"Here, the original 'Journey to the West.' Enjoy. If you find it good, feel free to recommend it to others." Lynn said, producing a few more translated classics like 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms and others.
"These are works from the Pre-Epoch. Take your time to appreciate them. If you can help promote them so more people can enjoy these works, that would be great!" Lynn smiled.
—Spreading the culture of the Pre-Epoch and reviving the glory of Earth's civilization in this Epoch, starting with me.
As for whether Emperor Roselle would become socially dead because of this, it was bound to happen eventually, wasn't it?
Antigonus's eyes swept over the classics, feeling something was off but still nodded.
"I will."
The other true gods and angels subtly glanced at the books. While some were not interested in the Pre-Epoch, most didn't mind learning about that epoch.
Lynn smiled, hiding his success.
He hadn't forgotten this tea party was themed around exploring the Pre-Epoch.
Even if the Pre-Epoch could never return, if the cultural treasures of humanity could spread in this world, it would be a different kind of rebirth and continuation.
At least people would remember that such an epoch, such a brilliant civilization, once existed.
