Hearing Yuzuki mentioned the promise made between them, Chen Yu's eyes flickered, and he nodded without saying much more.

Yuzuki, noticing Chen Yu's nod, naturally did not bring up their agreement again. Instead, she started talking with him about the topic of cooking.

"Speaking of which, the pursuit of food by humans has seen revolutionary changes in just over a hundred years. I still remember when the meals in Reed Plains in China were very simple a hundred years ago." Yuzuki's Divine Duty includes food, and even Her name is related to food; hence She naturally was very enthusiastic about the topic.

The Matchmaking God, who had been quietly enjoying desserts, also joined in on the topic: "Indeed! The desserts a hundred years ago were nothing like they are today. I remember there were only Shingen Mochi, Tricolor Dango, or Daifuku with only red bean fillings. It's hard to imagine that in just a mere hundred years, humans have become entirely different!"

"The changes in human life can be described as rapid and drastic; not to mention comparing it to a hundred years ago, even twenty, or even ten years ago, human life was very different from today's." Chen Yu also strongly agreed with this point, and as a human, he felt it even more personally.

Maybe it was the topic that piqued Chen Yu's interest, or perhaps he hoped to understand from the deities' perspective on how they viewed the current development of humans. Chen Yu enthusiastically spoke about the cutting-edge technological development in human society today: "Ten or twenty years ago, the main media through which humans received news were newspapers and televisions. But now, the development of the internet means that anything that happens in any corner of the world can be spread around the globe within 24 hours. With the development of information dissemination, the collision of human thoughts has sparked many brilliant ideas, many ingenious and marvelous ideas that even deities would find astonishing."

"Humans may indeed be a species with infinite possibilities, but with their development, their faith in deities has become increasingly feeble." At this point, Yuzuki couldn't help but glance at the Matchmaking God and sighed before continuing, "Deities like Me who have enough believers can maintain our existence, and I don't rely much on faith. But for some weaker deities, they can't even maintain their existence. Without the protection of powerful deities, they might just dissipate.

It's even more so for the Yokai. How many people in today's Reed Plains in China still believe that Yokai truly exist? The Night Parade of One Hundred Demons that used to be prevalent in Kyoto is now something you can no longer see; those Yokai are merely a record in piles of old papers."

When mentioning the once prevalent Night Parade of One Hundred Demons in Kyoto, Yuzuki could not help but sigh. When the Yokai were still rampant in this world, they were a threat to humans, which troubled the deities of the time. But as humans grew stronger and the Yokai became weaker and rarer, the deities also couldn't help but lament the decline of the Yokai, a sorrow akin to the sadness one feels at the destruction of a kindred spirit.

In the era when the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons was still prevalent in Kyoto, Yuzuki had participated too. Back then, She was just a regular deity, not yet as esteemed as She is now, second only to the Three Precious Children.

But back then, Yuzuki had more joy and freedom. She would diligently focus on every believer who came to pray, carefully discerning their prayers to respond, protecting Her believers, and in turn, gathering faith.

Watching the faith accumulate or diminish each day, the happiness and troubles that come with change are treasurable memories even for a deity.

Why Yuzuki has grown fonder of sleeping nowadays is partly because acquiring faith has reached a limit, and these things have become less important to Her. Responding to believers has become more of an interest, without the previous anxiety.

On the other hand, the higher the Divine Position, the more subdued the emotions become, and not much can affect someone as esteemed as Yuzuki anymore.

Perhaps conspiring with Chen Yu to ascend to a higher position has been the most concerning and significant matter for Yuzuki in the past thousand years.

"This is the Age of Dharma Decline, an era where the light of humanity replaces the grace of deities." However, facing Yuzuki's sentiments, Chen Yu laughed: "Deities, in order to maintain their supremacy, often act mysteriously. As humans become more independent, and deities' responses become scarce, deities lose the worship they once had from humans."

"I think that the relationship between deities and believers should be interdependent. Deities help believers, believers worship deities, the two should form a binary cycle, not where deities are high above while believers are as low as dust." Jounouchi Hiromi, who was listening to the conversation between Chen Yu and Yuzuki, suddenly felt inspired to speak.

Hearing Jounouchi Hiromi's words, Yuzuki looked at her with some surprise and chuckled before saying, "Although the relationship between deities and believers is indeed so, the more worshipped a deity is, the harder it is to maintain their original intent. And you've touched the threshold of Becoming Divine, with a Demigod as your husband, you should know that through worship by believers, deities gradually assimilate to faith. You understand what this means, don't you?"

Yuzuki's words rendered Jounouchi Hiromi speechless. What Yuzuki meant was simple: It's not that deities want to elevate themselves, but that believers believe they should be elevated.

Faith assimilates deities, the more they draw on the Power of Faith, the more they will transform into the image worshipped by believers.

Listening to the conversation among the three, Yamada Nobuyosuke couldn't help but be amazed. Such information was not something he usually had access to, prompting him to listen intently, eager to learn more.

Although he was still worlds apart from being a deity, maybe someday this information would be useful? Perhaps the opportunity for him to progress further lay within this information.

Noticing Yamada Nobuyosuke's keen attention, Chen Yu chuckled and said, "Mr. Yamada, if you wish to become a deity, then you should first think about what kind of deity you want to be. Although most deities have forgotten why they became divine, it is precisely this original intent that has fashioned the deities of today."

Chen Yu's words left Yamada Nobuyosuke somewhat puzzled, but he firmly remembered what he had said.

Just as Chen Yu was about to discuss other topics with Yuzuki, the chef from earlier pushed a cart over and served up four desserts.
