But not the same way Yu-kun did. If all we do is try to switch to one god to end the game early, without caring about their world, the contest results will be voided and they'll have to do this all over again with another batch of people. I can't let that happen.
... but if I can convince people to try to follow one responsible god at the end, because they really believe in them, and not just for the numbers - I think I can help as many people get their wish as possible.
. . . Being made to choose one over the others must be difficult. Knowing that you care this much, though, I don't think the great gods you decide not to choose in the end will be angry with you.
.... I don't think so either. They all want to win, but some gods have said they're alright with their followers going to someone else in the final week if it means that they get their wishes granted.
[that brings a smile to shang qinghua's face, but with a pinch in his brow.]
Great Justice? This one is humbled that you think so. I'm afraid that I defected to Great Piety once I was forced to move on from Great Fortune, though.
Great Ambition's vision rewards hard work. Those in An Ding Peak all work hard every day, and even my life before I became an outer disciple was rife with hardship. It took all the effort I could muster to be where I am today.
When I put it this way, is it still so surprising?
She sounds kind of young . . . But you saw how worried she was for Great Cunning. Even if she's inexperienced when it comes to handling others, her heart is in the right place. [he pauses.] Probably.
Pleasing everyone is a difficult task, but so is leading a group of individuals. If she wins this contest, that pressure will never abate in its entirety.
Without pillars to support the foundation, the person at the top, no matter how experienced, will fall. If it ever gets to the point you're imagining, Great Cunning and Great Disorders should be around to support her where she needs it . . .

If that time ever comes, which great god will you gather everyone under?
no subject
But of the worlds I like - there's actually a couple. Love, Beauty, Cheri, Merriment, Justice...
no subject
Does that mean you don't feel the same way about Great Piety's vision for the world?
no subject
[ . . . ]
But... I support who I support. It's been hard for me to ever pick one god over the others, because a lot of them are my friends.

... I think you're the kind of person that would join Justice.

And then...?
no subject
After offering some comfort to Great Ambition, things turned out unexpectedly for the beginning of this week.
no subject
So you -
Went to Bambi...?
no subject
Yes, Great Ambition was adamant that I join her. This choice, do you disagree with it?
no subject
Well, I like Bambi a lot so it's hard for me to say that you chose poorly. I'm sure it made her really happy.
[ . . . ]
I guess it's just a surprise. I didn't think you were the type to follow her agenda.
no subject
When I put it this way, is it still so surprising?
no subject
I guess it's just if you think she's suited to rule over all the other gods in the pantheon, even if her world in theory sounds good.

She's a really sweet girl. I like her a lot.
I'm just scared, of what might happen if she's under a lot of pressure. I don't want people to get mad at her, when she's doing her best.
