After all, the humans already built such staggering castles in their time here, as the only notable structures of permanence across the land. And in your time they built great pyramids, they weren't deterred before so shouldn't be now. Especially that you are among them, and indeed this is your own physical dwelling. Why shouldn't your throne be the greatest of all, whether in perpetuity for yourself as a god-pharaoh, or one day for your children? If nothing else, you expect to provide a bastion which will dominate the land and draw humans from all over, a symbol of unity and strength from which to radiate outwards.
Of course, you aren't a goddess of crafting, construction or strength, so your own personal involvement in this whole process might be limited. You can of course work side by side with the people in building, and your own divine competence and godly strength and stamina will surely benefit the project. Not to mention, if you so desired you could probably reshape your divine realm to hasten the process with goods and materials. But all of this would mean taking time away from the lake, which your investment in has been focused and long term.
<span class="mu-r">"None today? I was hoping to see some people, help with <span class="mu-i">some</span> problems after all day out to the lake."</span>
<span class="mu-b">"Nothing we could not handle here, little goddess. Things have been remarkably stable, so say the longtime residents. Food is adequate, wellbeing is improving, and increasing safety measures are being made. Since your presence here, people are starting to live their lives again for the first time in years."</span>
Maybe you can't, or wouldn't want to switch up your time spent, but as greater stability and safety is won you have more chances to focus on your divine pursuits. Especially now that you have something of a home in Bexley, more permanent than any so far since your escape of the underworld. In the physical way you can continue your steady work, but in the divine way you finally are getting some opportunity to grow as a goddess, or at least familiarize and practice with what you are already capable of.
Or perhaps even actions of Bexley as a whole, the political entity itself, given that you now can command and decree...
