NOVPUBThe six Goddesses hovered around Elysia in a six-star formation for Elysia’s breakthrough.
It didn’t take long, and Elysia rose to the 8th Rank super smoothly. After she consolidated the newly refined magical energy in her body, she opened her eyes.
’Congratulations on ascending to 8th Rank!’
’Congratulations, master!’
’Three more ranks and Ely might be able to hold full authority over absolute law.’
’Fufu, our Ely will be strong enough to support her divine soul power to the next level. We don’t know what will await when our Ely’s mortal body ascends to beyond 10th Rank.’
’Ai, don’t you still want to have a new body? You won’t be able to reach the pinnacle with just a spiritual body.’
’No, not now. Not before Elena.’
Elena, Rhea, Fortuna, Lifa, Nell, and Ai revoked their six constellation formations.
’Huh, why me?’ Elena was a bit surprised by Ai’s sudden claim.
’I will forever be Elysia’s shadow if you will remain Elysia’s ghost. When you become a new entity with a separate body, then it’s time for me to become Ely’s twin for real.’ Ai stated her point.
’???’ Elysia was about to express her gratitude, but she was faced with a rather surprising revelation.
She offered her twin sister a new body several times, but Ai refused her for various reasons. However, this time, Ai used Elena as an excuse.
’Oh~ Then, we’ll see. Someday, we’ll reform our new bodies, and we can take part in the God Mode Fusion. We not only assist Ely but also boost her.’ Elena replied with a faint smirk.
She previously would never have considered it because she felt comfortable staying in Elysian Realm. Only spiritual entities that Elysia recognized could enter there. However, several new methods of entry had been discovered, and she didn’t mind becoming the authentic guardian angel on Elysia’s side.
"..." Ai fell into silence, but she accepted the challenge.
When she received a new body and Elysia’s soul was fully recovered, she also wanted to know what would happen to her if she fused with Elysia. Elysia feared she would disappear, but when Elysia ascended beyond the 10th Rank with fully recovered soul power, including the fragments used for the two avatars, then she might find the other outcome.
After all, everyone believed Elysia could only grasp absolute power when she ascended beyond the 10th Rank after removing the soul restriction seal, of course.
One of the reasons behind this outer space training was for Elysia to seek more inspiration for the absolute divine law, especially one to counter the super anti-magic. Everyone would try to overcome the enemy with super anti-magic using their own methods after this meditation event.
"Thank you. We’ll get through it all together." Elysia came between Elena and Ai with a tender smile, expressing her happy mood.
"..." Zera glanced at Amy and Zi Xuan. She ensured Elysia was safe without any disturbance during meditation, and those two people behaved very well.
"Wow... is that a minor breakthrough? What awaits above the 20th Rank? I wonder~" Amy put her hands together with eyes sparkling in amazement.
"???" Elysia was wondering, but she didn’t bother to explain it.
Her age was still in the double digits, unlike those Gods and Immortals of Heaven with their eons of experience. Also, her strength, excluding her magical and spiritual power, had just risen to 8th Rank.
Elysia then sat with her Goddess sisters, floating in the middle of the zero gravity zone. She was wondering about her current status screen.
<| 8th Rank | Divine Empress | Elysia | Female (21) | HP: 1.9M / 1E99 | MP: 8.1E11 / 1E99 | SP: 8.2E11 / 1E99 |>
<| Talent: 7 Stars | Heavenly |>
<| STR: 514 | DEX: 788 | CON: 1,280 | PER: 2.2K | ARC: 55.8K | VIT: 8.2E11 | LCK: 1,001 |>
<| 16th Rank | Agent of the Dark Realm | Amera | Female (N/A) | HP: 5.8M / 5.8M | MP: 4.1M / 4.1M | SP: 4.3M / 4.3M |>
<| Talent: 7 Stars | Heavenly(4) |>
<| STR: 4.6K | DEX: 3.8K | CON: 3.1K | PER: 1.3K | ARC: 5.8K | VIT: 4.1M | LCK: 488 |>
Elysia compared her stats with Amy’s. As for her stats, they increased slightly due to her promotion to 8th Rank and because she took the power of an army of fish.
Her HP, MP, SP, and VIT increased drastically, thanks to the Ifiqar World’s contribution. Her magical power reserve had recovered to 20% of her prime, the state she was in before the battle against the Ruvoid Race.
Her Goddess sisters had recovered to their prime condition, also thanks to the Ifiqar World. They owed a debt of gratitude to that planet.
She was still curious about why Amy’s talent had a number four in brackets, but she was more surprised to see her new title. It was no longer Holy Saint but Divine Empress! The Divine in her title, but she had yet achieved the divine ascension!?
"Woah..." Elysia muttered softly as she was satisfied with her improvement. Her magical power limit was quite insane, but she still wanted to raise it to at least E12.
Her avatars were cultivating in tranquility in the Elysian Realm. After checking their situation, Elysia looked around.
Her people were still in deep meditation, trying to understand the Dao and study the Mythical Divine Techniques that she gifted them in their respective mind-space. The next event would need to wait then.
"Uh-huh? Did you see a strange and mysterious movement on the moon over there?" Nell pointed to one of the twin red moons in the distance.
"What do you see? I didn’t find any creatures on those two moons." Elena looked up and checked the moons with her eye ability.
"I’m sure I saw a slight movement. Was that a Moon God monitoring us?" Nell scratched her head. She was sure that she didn’t see it wrong, but she couldn’t prove it or detect anyone on the moon she was pointing at either.
"Hmm, we are in the invisible barriers and formation arrays. If someone can notice us, it is only limited to the spiraling energy. No one can peek inside. Even Amy will not be able to find us when she leaves this domain." Rhea tried to reassure her little sister.
"Well, we’ll know the truth sooner or later. I’ll observe it occasionally." Nell crossed her arms and looked up at the twin red moons.
"Hmm..." Elysia looked at the two moons. She couldn’t sense any living creature in either of them.
However, she couldn’t tell about the non-living creature. The distance was too far, and it would take a lot of time to scan the entire moon. Even though she trusted Nell’s words, they couldn’t prove the truth that sooner. They could also ask Amy for that later.
"Zi Xuan, would you like to request enlightenment and a pointer from us?" Elysia turned to her new immortal priestess.
Zi Xuan nodded several times in reply. Goddess Elysia then beckoned to her to come closer, and she obediently approached with some feeling of excitement in her heart.
"You possessed the Divine Moon Spiritual Root and cultivated the Heavenly Moon Technique. Do you want to advance further beyond the Heavenly Moon Palace Lord or abolish it and start over with a new one specially designed for you?" Elysia offered two choices to Zi Xuan.
She still didn’t understand Zi Xuan’s stance, and she felt this immortal saintess was a bit suspicious. She suspected that everything was rooted because Zi Xuan wished to take shelter under her umbrella and hoped for her help in the future.
That was the reason why Zi Xuan was willing to become her priestess at Miko’s invitation and became one of her fruitful believers with faith above 80% at their first meeting.
<| 12th Rank | Heavenly Moon Saintess | Zi Xuan | Female (N/A) |>
<| Faith: 88% |>
<| Talent: 5 Stars | Ultra Rare |>
Elysia checked Zi Xuan’s faith, and it was close to 90%.
According to Lifa, someone with 80-90% faith would be a good follower. However, it would need 95% or above to become the devout, unwavering one. The one that would be worth the investment and trust.
"Can I surpass the Moon Palace Lord? Can I possibly transcend beyond the Divine Moon Immortal, the founder of the Moon Palace Lord, with my current spiritual lord, Goddess Ely?" Zi Xuan widened her eyes.
"The strongest one in Heavenly Moon Palace is at 18th Rank." Elysia asked while glancing at Amy, but it sounded like a statement instead.
"The palace lord is at 16th Rank, and the founder is at 18th Rank. The Heavenly Moon Palace is not involved in the affairs of the Heavenly Realm at all. Regardless, they occasionally challenge the Lord Heavenly Dao’s sovereignty." Amy crossed her arms and pursed her lips. She didn’t like the Heavenly Moon Palace and anyone who opposed her lord for whatever reason.
"What’s the difference between the Moon Palace and the Heavenly Moon Palace? You only once mentioned that you are the Immortal Young Saintess of the Moon Palace. So, you want to surpass them with their signature techniques?" Fortuna asked about the thing that still bothered her. She knew Zi Xuan would take advantage of Elysia and their group, but their help wouldn’t be free.
"Mm, I was the junior saintess before that devious plot and tragedy unfolded. The Moon Palace is a place for disciples, and the Heavenly Moon Palace is the sect name and the sacred place in the Heavenly Moon’s highest place." Zi Xuan stated her confirmation.
"Yup, everything is possible, but it’s still based on the person. If you wish for it, then continue with it. I can see some imperfections in your spiritual sea and roots. Let me fix it for you." Elysia put her hands on Zi Xuan’s forehead and abdomen.
"Um, thank you very much!" Zi Xuan closed her eyes, letting Goddess Elysia do what needed to be done to her body.
"Well..." Amy wanted to say something, but Goddess Elysia had stepped in to handle the Heavenly Moon Palace’s restrictions and imperfections.
The Heavenly Moon Technique would put anyone who practiced it under the control of the Palace Lord. The moment they betrayed the Heavenly Moon Palace, they would explode into moon dust.
So, Zi Xuan’s agenda of seeking truth and justice for the Zi Clan’s demise wouldn’t lead to self-destruction even though Zi Xuan wished to overthrow the Heavenly Moon Palace. n𝚘𝚟𝚙𝚞𝚋.𝚌o𝚖
"Phew..." Elysia heaved a subtle sigh. She noticed some imperfection and fixed it for Zi Xuan, but somehow, this Immortal Saintess’ faith rose to 90% instantly. Zi Xuan also became extremely relieved and happy.
’Did I do more than I thought?’ Elysia glanced at her guardian angel.
’Who knows? This Zi Xuan is a bit suspicious and dumb. Yet, basically, I know she desperately wishes for our protection and is willing to pay whatever it takes.’ Elena shrugged her shoulders.
