The voice of the goddess of fortune resounded in the sky and was deafening.

The people of Wende City stared blankly at the black dragon in the sky, because they knew that the goddess was standing on the head of the black dragon.

They...... Satisfied?

Even without the statue, they can still worship the goddess, even without the church, they still have a 'habitat', and even without those formal things, they have nothing to lose, and even the protection of the goddess......

Are they satisfied......

Yes!

"Thank you, my lord!" cried out one of the believers, "Yes, I am satisfied!"

Looking back on the past, although I didn't make a lot of money, after so many years of accumulation, I also have a solid enough foundation.

It's a pity that he didn't become a 'human master', but after so many years of ups and downs, he no longer expects that he can be as 'energetic and ambitious' as before.

That's all there is to it!

"I'm satisfied!"

After him, another believer shouted: "Yes, I am satisfied!"

"I think I've got enough of my life right now!"

"Me too!"

Not long after the words of the goddess of wealth fell, there were scattered responses in the square, and as time went on, some believers who were still hesitant joined in, fanatical believers kept chanting, thousands of people were shouting, and even ordinary people who were not believers in the goddess of wealth joined the ranks.

"Don't be so satisfied!"

The chanting of the devotees ceased abruptly, and the cheers like the waves of the sea stopped in an instant under the shouting of the goddess of wealth.

There were some scattered voices, but they quickly reacted and closed their mouths.

"Where's ambition?, tell me, what about your ambition?!"

The gods in the pantheon, who were still watching the Lady of the Sorrowful Wind, suddenly stopped laughing, and they looked at the goddess of wealth in amazement, only to see an 'empty shell' with their eyes closed and all their attention on the real body.

"Maybe it's not a good word for 'ambition', so I can replace it with 'ambitious', I can replace it with 'dream' – tell me, what is your 'dream', is your dream come true, and if not, then why stop?"

"Family, affection, love, and life, these things are indeed more important than dreams, but what about other people? There are always people who are not affected by these things, right? Have your dreams come true? Are you working hard for your dreams? Have you stopped? Tell me, are you satisfied?"

Latinia clenched her hands, her face flushed with excitement, and she screamed at the top of her voice: "Are you satisfied?!Are you satisfied?!Are you really satisfied?!"

Not only her followers, but also the civilians of Wende City, the ordinary believers of other gods, and the clergy were all in shock and self-questioning because of the words of the goddess of wealth.

If you ask yourself, are they really satisfied with the status quo?

Leaving aside the big businessmen for a moment, let's talk about others, such as traders, adventurers, and the like, who are satisfied with their status quo.

The answer is no, they are not satisfied, but they are forced to do it because of the necessity of life, and if they do not do it, not only will they starve to death, but their families will also starve to death.

So what? What if they're not satisfied with the status quo?

But in addition to these people who are forced by life, there are also many people who fall into contemplation.

If you ask them about their original dreams, maybe not many of them still remember them, they have long forgotten those dreams in these years of life and hardship.

It's not what they want to throw away, it's just ...... 'forgotten'.

Maybe it's because they're numb to life, or they feel that there's no hope in life, and the future is only dark, not hidden by fog - they have already seen through the road ahead!

Walking in the dark, groping in the dark, so gradually, they 'forgot their dreams', and even their 'themselves' were 'forgotten'.

Now they may just be the epitome of countless ordinary adventurers, small businessmen, for thousands of years, just running around for the sake of running, without any clue and without much purpose, nothing more......

"No...... No, no!"

A young adventurer burst out crying without warning, and he fell to his knees, clutching his head, and crying.

"It shouldn't be like this, it shouldn't be like this......"

He is not a believer in the goddess of wealth, he is just an ordinary adventurer, because he longed for the world outside the village, he came out of the village, with a few swordsmanship learned from a veteran soldier and the money stolen from his family, he bought a weapon, and luckily survived the 'first adventure'.

He wanted to make a lot of money and return to the village with a sense of honor, not only to be able to return the money to his father, but also to make his family proud of him.

But I don't know when he started......

He may have recognized himself as one of the 'ordinary' and the multitude, but he never wanted to go back.

Every time he gets paid, he gets drunk, he always spends his salary in the shortest possible time, and then comes back again, if nothing else, he may be injured in an adventure, retire in disgrace, and more likely die outside, not even a word back.

"It is undeniable that the world is cruel ......"

When the sobs were already spreading from the square, the voice of the goddess of wealth rang out again: "Not everyone has the power to chase their dreams, and not everyone who chases dreams can realize their dreams...... But because of that, are you giving up?"

"Are you willing to work hard, are you willing to work hard for your dreams, are your dreams empty, and even if you realize your dreams, you won't get anything?"

Latinia's arms trembled, and she kept questioning the people below.

Not just to her believers, but to all of them, but also to herself—

"Are you willing to swing your sword a thousand or ten thousand times a day for your dreams? Are you willing to study hard for your dreams? Are you willing to exhaust the last bit of energy in your body for your dreams? I know it's hard, not everyone can do it, but there are always people who can, why doesn't anyone do that? Why?!"

"You stopped, are you really willing? Why did you stop? Did you try?"

"What if you fail? Why can't you get up after failure? If you don't have the strength, then try to swing your sword a thousand or ten thousand times a day, instead of getting drunk in a tavern every day, and if you don't have enough knowledge, then study, don't dwell on your fantasies all day long without putting them into action!"

"Isn't this kind of thing 'dream' the future you want to be in the future? If you don't do your best, how can it be possible to realize this kind of thing? 'Dream' is only your own, this is your own thing, why don't you find it yourself, why don't you do it yourself, do you still expect others to help you fulfill your dream? At that time, is that kind of thing still your 'dream'?"

"There are also people who have dreams, don't be satisfied with the status quo, maybe someone wants to be a hero who is in the limelight, maybe someone wants to be a big businessman who is rich and rivals, maybe someone just wants to marry a certain woman, but these 'dreams' are essentially no different, there are differences, it's just the difficulty of completing the dream - the more difficult the dream to achieve, the more effort is needed, 'becoming a big hero' and 'becoming a good son' are both 'dreams', but the difference in difficulty is very large!"

"It's not an unseemly thing to have desires and ambitions, and maybe other people will laugh at your incompetence when they know about it, but I won't, neither will Serra, nor will Seth!"

"Because when you have ambitions, when you can speak frankly about your ambitions, and when you are willing to work hard for them, you are enough to be respected by us!

"It's often the 'idealists' and 'careerists' who change the world, not those who think they see reality and are afraid of change—"

Latinia gasped for a few breaths and suddenly grinned, "Tell me, are you satisfied?"

"Are you really satisfied?!"
