NOVPUBBecause the temperature was rather hot, Yuuki turned the surrounding terrain into a land of cold ice and snow. There was some distance to the hot lava area. Thus, the snowy landscape wouldn’t melt easily. After all, it was the safe zone.
Seeing that everything was fine, Elysia used her magical reality power to make a portable house to accommodate everyone.
"Woah..." Yuuki was about to take out her largest portable house. Yet, her master’s amazing magic already created one with a poof.
"That is creation magic. Our master is the Goddess of Creation." Sylvia crossed her arms and nodded several times, convinced by her statement.
Zi Xuan had nothing to say. It was the first time she saw a spiritual energy gathered and manifested into a physical object through a creation. She thought it was an illusion of reality, but it was a real house created by magic.
"Is that your first time seeing a magical technique like this?" Elysia was amused by the flabbergasted Zi Xuan. Her magic had not yet reached the actual creation level, but she left everyone with their own understanding.
"Mm." Zi Xuan nodded in reflex.
"Are you sleepy yet? The temperature inside has been set, and we will stay overnight in hell. Please come in~" Elysia opened the door and ushered everyone in.
A beautiful living room, large bedroom and magnificent kitchen. Everyone wandered around the house to appreciate the magical creation created by their master power.
Elysia went to the second floor and opened the balcony window. She pointed towards the invisible ancient ruin far in the distance.
"???" The Artificial Hell Core wondered what its master would do to that dangerous ruin. The distance was so far in the realm’s center, and it couldn’t be seen with the magic eye, let alone the naked eye, because the volcanoes blocked the view.
However, the follow-up occurrence shocked it beyond reason. A soundless massive blast suddenly reduced the invisible ancient ruins to dust.
The most dangerous ruins were no longer invisible but ceased to exist!
"Explosion with no sound? Master, did you just test your magic?" Xentia stood beside Elysia, staring into the distance with her scanning abilities.
A massive fire dome was still clearly visible like a masterpiece of art in the distance, obliterating anything within three kilometers radius.
"Artificial Hell Core wanted to restructure this realm, but the Evil God’s ruins gave it much trouble. I blasted everything into dust." Elysia blew on her fingertip as if it were a gun.
She then used her other hand to grasp the empty air. The fire dome was sucked into a mini black hole, and the dust left by the explosion vanished without any residue.
"What was that? An explosion?" Sylvia ran to the second floor out of curiosity.
The girls immediately followed to the second floor because the silent explosion alerted them.
"Wha-" Zi Xuan was still gaping in astonishment. She silently followed Goddess Elysia, and that blast truly shocked her.
It was as easy as to point toward a particular direction and boom, everything vanished. Not even a 15th Rank Immortal could do that destructive technique smoothly without emitting any spiritual energy.
However, Goddess Elysia held the power of Supreme One... the 20th Rank max-level existence beyond divine comprehension.
As a powerful being, Goddess Elysia was still easygoing and friendly. No Gods and Immortals of the Divine World could be compared to Goddess Elysia.
With that kind of understanding in mind, Zi Xuan immediately knelt down. "Goddess Elysia, please help me!"
"Hm?" Elysia looked at Zi Xuan in surprise.
Zi Xuan’s sudden exclamation also startled the girls. Nevertheless, they remained silent and allowed Zi Xuan to talk to their master.
"What kind of help do you expect from me?" Elysia grasped her hand on her back, staring into the distance.
Zi Xuan then told Goddess Elysia about how her Zi Clan was destroyed by the Heavenly Demon Sect. She wanted to avenge her parents and her clan’s destruction, but she required strength and a powerful backer.
"I’ve heard something similar from Miko. Your desire to avenge your family, but what do you expect me to do?" Elysia accessed her avatar’s memories.
However, everything related to Zi Xuan’s desire would only bring harm to her group, aka no benefit.
"I am willing to be your servant or even slave for a millennium, but I hope for your help, Goddess Elysia. I’m ready if you want to put a heart trigger contract on me." Zi Xuan bowed in supplication.
Elysia heaved a subtle sigh. She took a deep breath and replied in a calm tone. "Would you be satisfied if the Heavenly Demon Sect was wiped out from the upper realm? What would you do if the mastermind wasn’t them? What if some people from your family were still alive? As the once talented young saintess of the Moon Palace, why did they cast you aside? Your strange sickness and the demonic sect’s raid... don’t you realize someone was plotting something against you and your clan? Are you ready to reveal the truth with your own eyes?"
"I’m fully aware, and therefore, I truly need your help to reveal the truth and punish all those involved. Even though there are several survivors, I have accepted the fact that my parents are gone. Their life mark has been extinguished. They chose to die with honor in protecting our clan." Zi Xuan bit her lower lips as she tried to control her emotions.
Despite almost no benefit, Elysia decided to help Zi Xuan. After all, she had the Heaven Rank as her helper.
Elysia turned around and smiled faintly. "Alright. I can help you when we arrive at the Divine World. However, I am not interested in placing any heart trigger contract or having you as my slave."
"W-why?" Zi Xuan was shocked. She didn’t expect it to be easy to get Goddess Elysia’s help, but Goddess Elysia didn’t want her? She had nothing else to offer...
"If you offer yourself to me, then give it with sincerity. You have registered as my priestess through Miko’s recruitment. You are already my person. It’s natural for me to help you. If you feel grateful, then show me your best."
Elysia stepped forward and stretched her hand a few centimeters above Zi Xuan’s head in a baptism.
"Zi Xuan, you are no longer the Immortal Saintess of the Moon Palace, but the Priestess Zi Xuan of the Sacred Sakura."
"Zi Xuan obeys." Zi Xuan bowed her head respectfully with gratitude and devotion.
She received Goddess Elysia’s help, and it was worth it to serve the Supreme Goddess. Remembering Goddess Elysia was so strong, loving, kind, and benevolent, she might stay with her new belief forever.
"You can focus on your cultivation now. Is there anything else you want to tell us?" Elysia moved her palm slightly, pulling Zi Xuan gently back to her feet with magic.
Zi Xuan proceeded with the offer that might interest Goddess Elysia. She told everyone about Moon Palace’s secrets without hesitation. She also told Goddess Elysia all the hidden treasures she had accumulated for hundreds of years in the Divine World, including a mysterious heavenly treasure.
"..." Elysia stared at the map Zi Xuan had just drawn with complicated feelings.
She wasn’t sure the treasures were still there. After all, it was eons since Zi Xuan was banished to the mortal world.
However, she didn’t expect Zi Xuan to sell Moon Palace out.
Zi Xuan even plotted something against Moon Palace to make this sacred land suffer for not protecting her and her clan despite her status as a saintess.
