Chapter 336: A Realm of Slackers

The gods shifted their gaze to You You, their confusion deepening. A grumpy-looking one frowned and demanded, "What insignificant deity are you, summoning this odd door to drag us here?"

"This is the Gate of the Divine Realm," You You answered plainly. "It connects all Three Realms."

"What?!" The gods gaped, some exchanging doubtful looks while others stared at the colossal door above.

"My name’s You You from the Mortal Realm’s Zhen Yan Sect. I’ve boldly gathered you to discuss the demon tribes’ threat."

"Demon tribes?!" Their shock intensified.

You You detailed the weakening seal at Heaven’s Sacred Mountain, the looming invasion, and her proposed solutions. As she spoke, the True Gods’ faces darkened with worry until…

They flat-out refused.

You You: "…"

What just happened?!

（￣△￣；）

"Relax, girl! The Demon Realm’s still sealed—no need to panic yet."

"That’s a Saint’s seal! Mere demon tribes can’t break through."

"You found a way to reinforce it anyway. Problem solved!"

"Demons aren’t an issue unless they invade. Why fuss now?"

You You blinked. "So… you won’t leave the Divine Realm?"

The gods shuffled awkwardly before responding:

"Heavenly Dao forbids True Gods from leaving. We’d face divine punishment."

"What’s the point of opening gates? I’d rather stay put."

"Let’s wait until demons actually attack!"

"Divine Realm fruits taste fine. Why bother with lower realms?"

"My cave mansion’s cozy. Plus, my divine pet’s having her 32nd litter—can’t skip that!"

"My spirit blossom just sprouted!"

"My Lingxiao Beast’s in postpartum care!"

"……"

You You’s eye twitched as realization struck.

These were ultimate slackers—ambitionless couch potatoes of the divine!

She’d assumed gods cared about the Three Realms. Why else send Divine Thoughts via Divine Calling Orders to guide Immortals? Like Yu Hao, who’d risked injury to investigate lower realm disturbances.

She’d expected deliberation, maybe inspections, eventually leading to agreement.

Instead, these gods preferred gardening, pet midwifery, and lounging over saving worlds. Had Divine Realm peace stripped them of all drive? Were they content being eternal… divine dried fish?

You You felt her worldview was about to shatter. For the first time, she experienced a throbbing headache, veins pulsing at her temples, fighting the urge to deep-fry these apathetic gods. How could anyone motivate such complacent beings?

"Wait!" Yu Hao, the God of War, interjected urgently. "Though the demon tribes haven’t invaded yet, they remain a threat! The celestial maiden speaks wisely. Instead of fearing the Demon Realm, shouldn’t we empower the Three Realms to resist them? Since we already send divine thoughts below, why not personally descend to teach them godhood?"

His earnest plea fell on deaf ears as more rejections poured in.

"Yu Hao, you’re obsessed with battles, but we’ve got real priorities!"

"I’ve waited three centuries for the Flower Goddess’ birthday banquet! Only an idiot would abandon this chance to chase mortal affairs!"

"Ugh, I’m stuck in your group! With your looks, you’ll just embarrass yourself there anyway!"

"Shut it! My divine elegance outshines you all! You’re the embarrassment – you and your whole bear-ugly family!"

"Hey! What’s wrong with bears?" The Bear God slammed his fist. "Goddesses adore fluffy charms like mine! Wanna test my claws?"

"Bring it!"

"Save your energy! Settle it with rock-paper-scissors!"

"Two out of three!"

"Five rounds!"

"Seven matches!"

As the squabble escalated, bored gods began drifting toward the exit, ready to resume their stagnant routines.

Panicking, You You scanned the dispersing crowd before fixing her gaze on the quarrelsome group clutching their banquet tickets. An idea sparked.

"Very well," she sighed dramatically. "We’ll cease imposing on your disinterest. You may leave."

"But Celestial Maiden—" Yu Hao started.

"Enough!" She cut him off. "Since no lords will descend, inform the Seventh Heavenly Emperor that his 1,372 female immortals must abandon hope of personal guidance in godhood."

Yu Hao caught on instantly. "This failure’s my fault! I shouldn’t have promised the Seventh Heavenly Layer that our noble, selfless lords would devote every waking moment to teaching those female immortals…"

"Don’t fret," You You consoled loudly. "I’ll ensure Shui Yan prioritizes your courtship request. When you wed, consider me your matchmaker!"

"Gratitude! Let’s depart immediately – those eager female immortals await!"

"Agreed! We mustn’t keep them waiting!"

The retreating gods froze mid-step.

"WAIT!!!" they chorused.

Suddenly, motivation struck.
