“What you said does make some sense.” Irina sat on the bed and looked at him as she said, “You seemed to have been doing a lot of things lately. Why? Do you intend to become the world’s richest after becoming the world’s strongest?”
“Becoming the world’s richest is such a meaningless goal. After finding out that this is a thousand layer cake world, the title of being the world’s strongest is so self-deceiving. I might not even be able to win against Kiddo in perhaps a few more years.” Mag shook his head with a smile.
“If Kiddo is a God, why would it choose to reincarnate at such a juncture after laying still for countless years?” Irina looked at Mag and asked seriously, “What about the other Gods?”
Mag was stunned. His expression turned serious as well.
There were many legends of Gods in this world. Almost every race had one and usually, there would be more than just one God.
Kiddo was the God of the Sea that Lantisde prayed to. It was an illusory being in Lantisde for the past thousands of years but it had suddenly reincarnated and had chosen Gina to be its guardian.
In that case, would the other races’ Gods also reincarnate?
Kiddo, who had yet to be awakened, had already displayed terrifying powers that were beyond what they knew.
Once those reincarnated Gods awaken, they would definitely break through the upper limit of the Norland Continent once again.
“If the Gods reincarnated, it could mean even bigger trouble than the Great Old Ones.” Mag sighed and suddenly felt that his head hurt.
“At least the Gods would not be eager to destroy the world.”
“Who told you that Gods are kind?” Mag looked at Irina. “Even the Abyss Demons have their own Gods. They could very well be the messenger of the Alter or a wild boar spirit.”
Irina opened her mouth but was stumped for words.
“At least the Great Old Ones could be restricted by the seal. On top of that, once it appears, everyone could work together to seal it back in. However, if the Gods start to reincarnate one after the other, and on top of that they are highly regarded by the people of the various races, the situation might be harder to control.” Mag frowned slightly. He felt that the problem was getting a little too big.
Irina looked at Mag and her expression suddenly changed as she asked, “Are you thinking of killing the Gods?”
Mag looked up and met Irina’s eyes. He fell silent for a while before saying with a shake of his head, “If they are all like Kiddo, and do not have memories of being a God after reincarnating, they would not be any different from regular children. Killing them would be a bit too cruel.”
“What do you intend to do then?”
“I am still uncertain right now if the other Gods will reincarnate. Kiddo might be an exception. However, if the Gods all reincarnate, I think we have to gather them together and inculcate in them some good moral values. That might be a way out.”
“You intend to trap them in a jail cell?” Irina asked in shock.
“No, a school.” Mag smiled. “An enclosed boarding school.”
“How is that different from a jail cell?” Irina rolled her eyes. However, she quickly said, “But if they are really all gathered together, they might become a group with uncontrollable powers.”
“I’m raising a group of Gods?” Mag thought with his chin propped on his hand. That sounded like a challenging idea.
“You better not bring a group of sons and daughters back with a wife or two for free.” Irina pulled out a knife from somewhere and spun it at the tip of her finger as she glanced at Mag’s waist area.
“Of course not. Am I that kind of person? I just want to be a teacher, not a father. I can distinguish between the two clearly,” Mag quickly said as he waved his hands.
After he prepared a room for Gina and Kiddo, Mag went to the study room to write a few letters before sending them out to various places.
As he had taken the princesses of the various races in his restaurant, he had some friendly ties with the various races. Therefore, Mag used those ties to ask the various races to help find some children with exceptional talent. He intended to make them his disciples.
The most important point in finding these children was ensuring that they were orphans. The next important criterion was their special abilities, which included speaking gibberish.
Orphans would usually lead a difficult life and would not end up as anything great. They would most likely not become a God.
Mag did not know what the specific special abilities were. However, that must be an included clause. Otherwise, the restaurant might become an ordinary orphanage.
As for gibberish, Mag thought that since these Gods had reincarnated, they might have some memories and flashbacks, and that would make them display acts of abnormal behavior and gibberish.
Often, there was only a fine difference between a genius and a lunatic.
Of course, that was on top of the first two clauses. That would prevent his place from becoming a mental institute.
“It should probably be easy to obtain news with Alex’s identity, right?” Irina asked Mag who was sealing the envelope.
“As long as it is something Alex wants to find, everyone will look for it. When that time comes, even if we find them, we might not be able to bring them away as and when we want.” Mag Alex shook his head with a smile. “However, I can notify Michael about this. Right now, the only thing that we can trust is Chaos City, which is the most hopeful place in maintaining the current peaceful status.”
Irina nodded slightly. “I will get the Night Elves to collect intelligence and news.”
“Actually, I am more worried about the Elder Things finding out about this.” Mag had a worried look as he placed the sealed envelope aside.
“You don’t think the Elder Things will let all these Gods go?”
“The Elder Things top the Norland Continent holistically, be it in technology or the upper limit.
“If large numbers of Gods reincarnate and there might even be a chance that they would regain their divinity, the underground city’s combat advantage will be gone.
“It’s impossible that the Gods do not know about the existence of the Underground World and the Elder Things. In a world where the different forces are balanced, it would be more improbable to maintain an equilibrium forever because that would be threatening to each other,” Mag said with a deep voice.
Irina stayed silent for a while before saying self-mockingly, “I intended to retire after the Night Elves could stand on their own. Now it looks like there’s still a long way to go.”
Mag got up and walked towards Irina. He held her in his arms and said gently, “Don’t worry. I can settle all these things.”
Irina looked up at him and smiled. “How can you stand out on your own?”

After sending the letters out, Mag had nothing to do in the afternoon, so he organized the dishes that he had already mastered but had yet to launch.
The space in the kitchen was already getting tight and Mag did not intend to add a pastry room.
He had thought of launching the mousse cake in the ice cream shop. Anyway, the mousse cake had to be eaten chilled. It could be launched as a new product of the ice cream shop and that would not only increase the variety of the menu, it would also expand the shop’s customer base. That would be killing two birds with one stone.
Since he thought of that, he acted on it straight away. Mag went into the kitchen and made five mousse cakes. He placed them in a cooler box and delivered them straight to the ice cream shop.
Miya, who was passing an ice cream to a child, saw Mag walk in and asked in shock, “Boss, what brings you here?”
