I would rather betray the gods

The bottom of the deepest freshwater lake on Earth.

Who would have thought that there was an underwater palace built according to the terrain there?

The palace was brightly lit and resplendent with gold.

Yuzu sat at a simple table, gazing at the plesiosaurs swimming slowly outside the floor-to-ceiling window. "I don't know now that Earth belongs to the Taurus sign."

Taurus sat opposite, a big guy over two meters tall, sitting in the chair as if he were sitting on a small stool. "The reason you think the earth belongs to Pisces is because you come from earth, a typical sensory perception bias."

That's right. People always get used to what they feel, and after a while, they'll start to think that what they feel is right.

Yuzu thought to herself, resting her chin on one hand and tapping on the glass with the other, teasing her beloved moon-white plesiosaur floating outside.

He vaguely remembered buying a magazine at the school gate when he was in school. It said that someone had discovered an unidentified creature on a lake and taken a very low-resolution photo. A group of scientists suspected that it was a long-extinct plesiosaur.

At the time, he thought it was nonsense and just watched it for fun. Now he thinks that they might have really captured it. It's just that humans have too many self-perceptions, just like he thinks the Earth belongs to the sign of Pisces, so most people choose not to believe it.

Suddenly, Yuzu, who seemed a little sentimental, turned around and stared wide-eyed at Taurus. "Wait a minute, if Earth belongs to the Taurus sign, why didn't you Taurus show any reaction when Aries attacked Earth with a meteorite?"

Ugh?

Forehead...

Caught off guard by the question, Taurus broke out in a cold sweat.

Actually, things aren't that complicated. A tiny planet is insignificant to Taurus, and Taurus's central system has never paid attention to it.

If an unnatural destruction were to occur, a new Earth could simply be replicated.

But he obviously couldn't say that, because this planet is the home of Pisces in this life.

"After that incident, I ordered the relevant departments to carry out a major overhaul. Those incompetent subordinates were outrageous. Rest assured, similar incidents will never happen again in my Taurus Palace territory, especially on Earth!"

Taurus concocted an excuse about his subordinate's poor performance, and then forced out a smile that couldn't be more forced.

Yuzu watched his changing expressions as if she were reading his inner monologue, but since he had already paved the way for her, she couldn't refuse. "Hey? Can I ask you something? If you were to recreate an Earth just like the one we have now, how long would it take? Would it require hundreds of millions of years of accumulated resources?"

"Your Highness Pisces, no need."

Each planet has real-time data; we just need to copy the necessary information from other planets.

The only slightly troublesome aspect is the civilization of higher life forms. It would require cultivating several generations of illiterate individuals, instilling them with the corresponding knowledge, and then leaving the rest to the natural propagation of life.

At this moment, Yuebai entered the room carrying a cup of coffee she had personally prepared, and answered for Taurus.

Yuzu took the cup, tasted it and found it indeed fragrant. However, the delicious taste lacked the mood she should have. "Sigh, after hearing what you said, it feels like the past of Earth doesn't even feel real anymore."

"Your Highness need not worry. Who would want to use a replica if there is an authentic one? The same principle applies to everything. No one would make a replica of Earth unless absolutely necessary."

Humanity itself, however, is getting increasingly skewed in its technological development.

Worry gradually surfaced on Yuebai's face.

"How so?"

Yuzu put down her coffee and asked with concern.

One is the master of the Earth, and the other is a human being. It's easy for them to find themselves on the same wavelength when discussing Earth-related topics.

Meanwhile, the God King Taurus listened but didn't care. After all, Earth was too insignificant asteroid, so he had his own frequency. He drank a cup of delicious coffee and poured another cup from the pot.

"Human beings use flawed science, become obsessed with it and superstitiously believe in it. The lack of theology has freed them from spiritual constraints, and they are gradually going down a path of no return."

Yuebai replied.

"What will the outcome be?"

Yuzu could tell that Yuebai already had an answer in mind, so she asked.

"The answer lies in the ancient civilizations of Earth. Ancient humans were obsessed with theology and abandoned science. In the end, everyone had the ability to control the wind and rain, everyone wanted to be king and dominate, and everyone was full of hostility."

Finally, Taurus Palace wiped out that failed civilization with a wave of its hand, and introduced three races—black, white, and yellow—from different planets, focusing on guiding them to develop science, with the greatest guidance during the Industrial Revolution.

Who would have thought that from that time onward, this group of people would gradually abandon theology, leading to a decline in morality and ethics, ultimately repeating the mistakes of the ancients.

Yuebai pressed her face against the French windows and looked outside.

The glass reflected her worried face, revealing that as the ruler of Earth, she had her own feelings and helplessness towards the people of Earth.

Yuzu also worried about repeating that mistake. The thought of becoming extinct on Earth one day filled her with loneliness and desolation, and she couldn't help but feel disheartened. "Does this mean a healthy civilization needs both arts and sciences, and we just need to guide humanity anew?"

"Your Highness, we have tried it too."

We have created many supernatural events to warn and alert all of humanity, but unfortunately they have all been covered up by a small group of people at the top of the pyramid.

Because that small group of people needs a world that follows a set order.

As he spoke, a cold glint flashed in Yuebai's eyes.

"Then why don't you eliminate this layer of the pyramid? The majority of people are innocent!"

Yuzu seized the opportunity to ask a question.

"It's no use; someone will always come from behind to fill that gap."

Moreover, this is not an isolated case. It seems that similar dramas are constantly playing out on most planets, which always develop into a state of imbalance and collapse, and then the gods intervene to "reboot" it.

I really don't know what the ultimate answer is; no one has found the truth to this day.

Yuebai's expression turned melancholy again. It was clear that being the supreme ruler of a planet was not an easy task.

Seeing that the atmosphere inside the room was becoming increasingly pessimistic, Taurus interrupted them.

Taurus comforted Yuebai, saying that nothing is impossible for a willing heart. There are so many established civilizations in the Milky Way; she could go and learn from their experiences. As long as she put her heart into it, she would eventually find a way out for Earth's civilization.

Upon hearing this, Yuebai suddenly understood.

Since the topic wasn't going well, Taurus shifted the conversation to coffee, asking Yuebai what kind of coffee it was made of, saying it was the best-tasting coffee he had ever had, and that he would ask the Taurus Palace kitchen to make some in the same way.

Honestly, it's amazing that such a small planet as Earth has a beverage endorsed by a big shot like the God King. I'm incredibly surprised and delighted.

With a proud look on her face, Yuebai told Jinniu that this coffee is called Kopi Luwak, and its ingredients include the feces of a rare cat. Only the rich on Earth can afford to drink it.

At that moment, Taurus was holding a mouthful of coffee. Upon hearing that there was poop in it, he almost spat it out. He tried to hold it in, but a little bit still leaked from the corner of his mouth and flowed down to his chin.

As a god-king, what delicacies haven't he enjoyed? Does he need a mouthful of shit?

Well, he had already drunk quite a lot. To show his god-king demeanor, he swallowed the rest of his coffee with tears in his eyes. It was like molten lava, burning wherever it flowed from his throat to his esophagus.

"Hmm... indeed, it has a unique fragrance that is characteristic of nobles." He even had to say this with tears in his eyes.

At this moment, Yuzu, who also had a mouthful of coffee, almost spat it out when she heard it was this.

So what if it's the poop of a fancy cat, or something only rich people can afford? In the end, it's just poop, otherwise why would it be excreted?

Fortunately, being from Earth, he had heard about it since childhood. It was just that he had only heard about it before, but now he had seen it firsthand. It was a trivial matter and not worth mentioning.

To project the aura of a divine king, the delicacies from his homeland could not be treated cheaply. Therefore, he swallowed the coffee with such composure and enjoyment. Of course, his naturally slightly dark complexion was something he couldn't nitpick about.

Sure enough! Good food knows no planet.

The way the two god-kings drank so heartily convinced Yuebai that this was her most successful hospitality ever, and she insisted on brewing another pot of civet coffee.

Oh, oh, no need, no need!

Taurus suddenly remembered that there was an important meeting at Taurus Palace.

Yuzu also showed her phone chat history, indicating that she was going to her older sister's house for a meal.
