After Asmodeaus finished his work at the market he went back to his domicile. He remembered an important issue he had been forgetting. Where was Aphrodite's tomb located? Asmodeaus knew he had a map before he was locked up on that layer in the abyss. The map was mostly squiggles but it made sense. He had an expert map translator working beside him as well. The translator knew exactly what each turn of each mark on each page of the map meant. Sometimes the translator would use nonsensical words to describe the mundane. Sometimes the translator would even translate something incorrectly and we would have to backtrack. Sometimes the translator got tired and didn't want to work so we had to schedule things around his time.
Time is relative. One person's time may be faster than another's. Finding Aphrodite's tomb could be daunting, but the promised rewards were astronomical. 100 tons of gold, 100 tons of silver, 1 million bitcoins, not counting the rest of the tomb; it's a veritable windfall. Time is like a river, or a flat disk. When time stops, the river freezes. The fish can only swim under the ice. A disk of emotions is brought into the world. It's like opening Pandora's box. All the evil comes out but there is also hope. Without hope, even if there is tranquility it feels meaningless. Would you take on all the evils in the world if you had a chance at a better life? Asmodeaus would--that's why he was locked up in the first place.
Asmodeaus asked a single question: "Why?"
And the thought police answered, "Seeking the dao is against the way of heaven. You are under arrest."

Asmodeaus was a truth cultivator. All he wanted was to find the answer; the truth. What is the dao?
However, Asmodeaus was a little more pragmatic than others. While others were bound by convention, he did everything he could possibly do to break free. He did not want to be bound. He did not want attachments. He wanted to ascend to a new place. A place free from mortal filth.
But his pursuits would ultimately be what led to his downfall. The other gods and demons rallied against him and forced him into an archived seclusion. Time went very slowly for him. Almost an eternity. But the enjoyment from being released eventually was unlike anything else. Fresh air again. The wind is no longer a preprogrammed ventilation system function. It comes straight from the source--The weather.
Back to Aphrodite's tomb--Aphrodite was famous for being the number one beauty on the Wuxian continent. Not only was she beautiful, her cultivation was at the pinnacle of the world. She could only ascend to another world if she wanted to go further. But Aphrodite decided to stay in this world. Eventually, unknown things happened and Aphrodite was only left with the legend of a tomb.
However, both(?) the map interpreter, the map drawer, and the map holder were lost. The map drawer, God, was trying to help everybody and give away his fortune. The map interpreter, Jenica, didn't have the motivation, and finally the map holder Gabi AKA Chanesse AkA Merry was nowhere to be found. So without the map interpreter, drawer and holder, how was Asmodeaus supposed to find the tomb?
But Asmodeaus didn't want to give up like this. He decided to read all the historical manifestos relating to Aphrodite. Perhaps there could be a clue to go about it from a different angle.
