NOVPUBZi Xuan tried to block the sudden attack, but she was a step too late as the ambush was too fast. Luckily, the giant man’s fist stopped one centimeter beside Megami’s head.
"Why don’t you try dodging, blocking, or counterattacking?" Titan of Angelos asked in wonder.
"Why should I? You have no malice, but your greeting is beyond rude, Sir Titan of Angelos." Megami shook her head slightly.
"Ah, ahaha! As expected of the guest respected by Lord Heaven. Even the Immortal Lord needs to take some precautions in the face of the threat of my fist. Please pardon my rudeness. I just want to measure your divine aura, but I don’t seem worthy. You are one of the few that-" Titan of Ngelos laughed heartily and returned to courtesy. Yet, his voice was cut off due to a sudden, powerful suppression.
"On your knees." Megami pointed her finger downwards.
*Bam!*
The giant muscular man suddenly lost his power and immediately knelt on the floor under super spiritual pressure.
"What the-" Titan of Angelos broke out in cold sweat. He tried to test the esteemed guest, but the other party was authentic and powerful!
A feeling of tightness in his chest and the devotion immediately struck him, making him short of breath.
Megami glanced at everyone around her. None of the Heaven Rank members, including He-Dao, tried to stop this rude giant man. They also wanted to test her, and she had to play with that script. That was why she drained the rude giant man’s power and stripped him of divine spiritual energy without leaking anything so nobody could notice why and how.
"You will turn into dust the moment you enter my zone of perception with malice, sir. So, please be careful with your attitude towards new people you don’t know yet." Megami provides a piece of advice at her mother’s request.
She then grabbed Zi Xuan’s arm and came down from the Heavenly Altar to greet several people.
"As expected of the Supreme One. You enlightened me to new horizons. You took down a 15th Rank God in an instant. It’s still difficult for me to even comprehend what you just did. May I know how you strip his divine power?" He-Dao clapped his hands and walked over.
"I’ll pretend his rude greeting never happened, but you must worry about him. He will suffer the qi deviation soon." Megami raised her hand, refusing to answer.
"Take him to the recovery chamber downstairs." He-Dao relayed his order, and several Immortal Guards immediately took the giant man away.
"Thank you for your previous gift, Mystic Stellar Saintess. This world’s herbs and elixirs are much different from the worlds I visited before, but some of them have similar properties. This is my return gift. Please accept it." Megami handed over a starry night sky-patterned storage pouch to the one who gave the most gifts to her family.
The lady in the starry sky Immortal dress was perplexed but received the gift nonetheless. She sent those welcome gifts, hoping to meet the Supreme Goddess of Mysterious Origin sooner. The return gift was a pleasant surprise.
"Eh-huh? You are too polite, Supreme Goddess of Mysterious Origin. It is my honor to assist your recovery. It is also my wish to meet you sooner." Mystic Stellar Saintess regained her composure and smiled happily.
Megami smiled faintly in reply. She greeted everyone and received a warm welcome from the Heaven Rank members. She also gave several return gifts to those who sent many gifts to her family a few weeks ago.
"I didn’t get anything?" He-Dao rubbed his head awkwardly. Because of that rude titan idiot, the Supreme Goddess ignored him. He was the one who should get the first return gift!
"Hmm, you have one. Here." Megami handed over a wooden box, and He-Dao received it.
"Hmm?" He-Dao scratched his head because he was the only one who received a box when everyone else got a pouch. It might be special, but his divine sense could only see a golden rattan stick inside it.
"May I know what this is?" He-Dao asked even though he knew it was a divine treasure, but he was curious about its origin and effects.
"Why don’t you open it first?" Megami grasped her hand and faintly smiled.
"..." He-Dao gulped his saliva a little. He couldn’t see through this Supreme Goddess, but her expression didn’t bode well for him.
He couldn’t sense her aura, but her physique was equivalent to a 13th Rank Goddess. She wore no disguise, but for some reason, he felt she wasn’t the Supreme Goddess who made a promise to help him.
Regardless, He-Dao brushed his dark hair back with his hand, alleviating his worried thoughts to the back of his mind.
He opened the box, and sure enough... it was just a gold wooden stick.
However, the Supreme Goddess suddenly took it out of the box and looked at him with a menacing gaze.
"I promised to smack you, remember?" Megami closed her eyes, not reducing her faint smile of intimidation.
It was a payback time. Megami smacked He-Dao’s arm and back with the golden stick with her 13th Rank power. Her mama watched it with an approval nod, and Elena laughed heartily in her mind.
*Smack* *Smack* *Smack!*
"Oow! Hey! Is this how you treat your benefactor and helper!?" He-Dao received the raw beatings. He knew the Supreme Goddess gave him some leniency by not using her Supreme power. The said smack wasn’t even that painful.
"Oh my God... Lady Supreme Goddess truly smacked our Lord like punishing a naughty little boy. This is truly an eye-opener, fufu~" The Goddess of Glory couldn’t help but cover her mouth to suppress her laughter.
"No, some of your actions annoyed me. You deserve some beatings. Here’s your return gift." Megami snorted softly and handed a plain storage pouch to He-Dao.
"Well, what did I do to irritate you?" He-Dao scratched his head.
He received the plain storage pouch and looked at its contents with his divine sense.
Some magical items and pills were not much different from those received by others, but with the addition of a painting. All of them were heavenly-grade treasures with flawless purity, but as the Lord of Heaven, they were not that impressive to him.
Nevertheless, he appreciated the gift because it was from the Supreme Goddess. As for the painting, he took a closer look at it. However, he immediately widened his eyes and gasped in surprise.
"Who, may I know who is in that painting, my lady?" He-Dao broke out in cold sweat as he could sense the tremendous threat from the painting.
"He was the one who injured me. You can sense the threat just from the scene I casually painted? How does it compare with the Nirvana Abyss Demon?" Megami turned around, staring through the ceiling with her Eye of Truth.
"Even though they are somewhat similar, I’m not sure they are in the same class. The greatest threats of the corrupted Nirvana Realm are not just the Nirvana Abby Demon." He-Dao shook his head and sighed.
The one that could hurt the Supreme Goddess was clearly another Supreme entity. The one in the painting was very dangerous and could probably cause this universe’s space to collapse!
"Who do you mean?" Megami proceeds to get a few clues.
"It’s not a secret to the Heaven Rank members. They are the outer beings, the Heavenly Demons, and the corrupted Heavenly Dao of the two other worlds..." He-Dao also looked up with a solemn expression. 𝚗𝚘v𝚙𝚞b.𝚌𝚘m
"Is that so... I want to see the gate to the Nirvana Realm in the near future. However, we need to look around this world’s Heavens first. Can you please assign someone of your people with great knowledge to guide us, Lord He-Dao? The one who is not too conspicuous would be greatly appreciated." Megami signalled to Zi Xuan to come closer.
"Yeah, sure. Please see me again if you want to inspect the gate to the sealed Nirvana Realm. Hm? The once youngest saintess of the Heavenly Moon Palace. My lady, my, I know what you have planned for her?" He-Dao nodded in understanding, but he became concerned when he noticed the little priestess girl that the Supreme Goddess had brought here.
"Her name is Zi Xuan. She is my priestess. I will accompany her to see the truth." Megami gave Zi Xuan a head pat, telling everyone about Zi Xuan’s current identity.
"Pleased to meet you, Lord of Heaven." Zi Xuan felt slightly nervous, but Megami’s touch calmed her down.
She could tell everyone in this room was the super big-shot in all Heavens, especially the number 1 entity, the Heavenly Dao! It put mental pressure on her, knowing she was just a nobody with a presence that was barely noticed until Megami called her out specifically. After all, she stood behind the brightest star, and it couldn’t be helped.
"My lady, if I may suggest, I volunteer to guide you throughout the Heavens. Even though I am not the most knowledgeable one on the Heaven Rank, I can assure you that I am one of the top ten." Mystic Stellar Saintess immediately took the opportunity to offer herself as the guide.
"Wha, she went ahead of us!"
"My lady, if you are looking for the most knowledgeable one, then I, the Great Sage of Tian Mount, am the one you are looking for."
Several Gods and Immortals volunteered to help, but Megami raised her hand, and everyone immediately fell silent.
"I appreciate everyone’s intentions, but the Mystic Stellar Saintess came first. I’ll go with her." Megami responded politely and firmly, as if she didn’t want to accept complaints.
Since the Supreme Goddess has decided, then nobody could say anything. Mystic Stellar Saintess was so lucky, and the former youngest saintess of the Heavenly Moon Palace was even more lucky.
When the Supreme Goddess was about to leave, He-Dao looked aside, relaying his command with just his gaze as he had to assign one of his agents to accompany the Supreme Goddess.
"Please allow me." A white-haired divine lady bowed respectfully. She received a nod from her Lord, then ran after the Supreme Goddess.
