Chapter 534: 517: The Onlookers of the Divine RaceChapter 534: Chapter 517: The Onlookers of the Divine Race

In the month of traveling, Mu Ying had come to roughly understand the Creekwood Small World.

There was only one continent in the Creekwood Small World, rich in natural resources, and there were traces of human civilization; they concentrated in the plains and hills of the southern part of the continent.

Few humans ventured into other areas.

In the southern part of the continent, where humans lived, there were hundreds of city-states, each governing independently with severe class division, the slaver nobles holding most of the resources, civilians struggling to survive, and slaves completely devoid of human rights.

The city-states often waged wars against each other, vying for slaves, population, and resources, but these were all wars with cold weapons, and the population of each city-state was limited, basically just depleting the population, causing little damage to the environment.

When Mu Ying heard that two city-states were about to go to war, and Maeve’s mother took her to a small lake near the battlefield to join the Divine Race in spectating, Mu Ying had mixed feelings.

Only recently had she learned that in the World of Gods, apart from the Divine Race, other races couldn’t feel the Law, nor could they borrow the power of the Law.

Humans were the most special beings therein; they looked very much like the Divine Race and were extremely intelligent with a strong creative force. Even with their frail bodies, they tended to be dominant on most worlds.

The situation was somewhat like that of the Deep Blue Star before Doomsday, where humans used their wisdom to create various tools to arm themselves, conquering nature and other races.

But the Divine Race was transcendent of the worlds, and when they walked among them, it was as if they were invisible to mankind, who couldn’t detect their divinity, yet the power of the gods could still harm humans.

However, all were hard-working gods, and unless someone interfered with the work of the Divine Race, no god would act, because such interference that wasn’t work-related would result in a pay cut.

To the Divine Race, salary was life, so they were all very careful.

But not being allowed to interfere didn’t mean they couldn’t watch; spectating humans had become an interesting activity in the Divine Race’s long and tedious life.

Whenever some god noticed that humans were up to something big, it was sure to be spread far and wide, calling friends to come and enjoy the spectacle.

Wasn’t the reason Maeve’s mother could compress one hundred years of work into just twenty because she had spent most of her previous work time watching the drama unfold?

“Why can’t these humans figure it out, to stop fighting each other? Isn’t it good to just live peacefully? They can only live for a few decades and still don’t cherish it.”

“Yeah, I heard it’s about grabbing territory, grabbing people. I didn’t see them capture many, but I did see a lot of them die!”

“The humans from the last Small World I was in were more unified. They lived far apart from each other, so there was less conflict.”

...

Mu Ying listened to the excited discussions of the surrounding Divine Race observers and then looked down at the two small city-states fiercely at war.

If these humans knew that every time they went to war, a group of gods came to watch cheerfully with all sorts of discussions, who knows what expressions they would have.

Mu Ying couldn’t help but think, in reality, when humans are active, might there also be unseen lives spectating them?

The world is truly marvelous!

This month’s “vacation” time had Mu Ying accompanying Maeve’s mother as they visited lakes big and small throughout Creekwood Small World, spending most of their time near the human city-states.

“Our affinity with the Water Law as gods is really convenient, humans always like to live by the water, which makes it easy for us to enjoy the hustle and bustle,” she said.

“When I was the Well Water Goddess, I was even closer to them. Don’t look down on them for being weak, they have some ingenious ideas that even we of the Divine Race don’t have. Their lives are full of hardships, toiling and hunger, but sometimes I feel they live a more vibrant and varied life than we do.”

...

Maeve’s mother would talk nonstop about her experiences observing human life, unreservedly sharing with her the experiences of slacking off at work to watch the fun and find enjoyment.
