NOVPUBWhere fire and ice converged in a delicate dance of balance and harmony, two powerful saintesses united in a harmonious duet to vanquish the malevolent forces of darkness that threatened the world.
The blood fire saintess wreathed in flames that danced and flicked with an otherworldly intensity, standing side by side with her saintess friend.
The frigid ice saintess exuded an icy aura, casting a shimmering veil of frost across the battlefield.
Together, they unleashed a symphony of elemental power. Their contrasting energies merged and intertwined in a dazzling display.
With a wave of Feng Mingyue’s hand, the blood fire conjured forth torrents of flame, engulfing the demonic monsters in a blazing inferno. Her fiery gaze blazed with determination as she channeled the raw power of destruction.
Beside her, Shui Meiying raised her hand, summoning forth a frigid tempest that froze the inferno terrain into an ice domain.
Icy shards materialized out of thin air, soaring through the battlefield like deadly projectiles as the frosty breath crystallized into a blizzard of chilling fury. Her serene demeanor belied the lethal precision, eradicating the demonic minions in one sweep.
"We’re done here, Mingyue. The demons have been wiped out, and your eldest sister’s combined squad has finished off that heavenly demon." Shui Meiying sheathed her treasured sword.
"Phew... We make a good duo, right? My blood fire and your frigid ice. Those monsters won’t survive." Feng Mingyue breathed a sigh of relief as she looked at the primary battle in the distance had fallen silent, indicating the primary force had eradicated the big evil.
"Your blood-winged vermillion bird’s technique is the one that provides the most impact. You can actually eradicate them alone, Mingyue." Shui Meiying looked around and felt a bit down.
She and Feng Mingyue both ascended to the 6th Rank, but Feng Mingyue held the divine legacy that made the difference between them so massive.
"No, my blood fire technique deals nothing but destruction. Your ice technique is a perfect crowd control for fighting large numbers of enemies. If we were surrounded and beaten, wouldn’t we be finished?" Feng Mingyue waved her hand, reassuring her friend with a light giggle.
"Thank you. I feel like making a trip to visit Sacred Sakura again." Shui Meiying knew her power would lead her as a sub-warrior or support.
Regardless, she suddenly felt the urge to visit Sacred Sakura to seek some guidance from Elder Celestial Fox, also known as Elder Gumiho. After all, Elder Gumiho was the one who held the highest ice power in this world.
"Now you say it. I also miss Miko... Should we visit Sacred Sakura together once we resolved our tasks and duties?" Feng Mingyue extinguished her blood-fire battle dress.
It had been almost a month since their last meeting. In her heart, she made a memo to visit Sacred Sakura at least once every three months, or once a month if possible.
It would still be fine if she didn’t use her time to cultivate in seclusion like before because she only needed several days of delightful training in Sacred Mountain to gain tenfold benefits.
"That’s a good idea. Let’s make an appointment next week. But... Miko still can’t be contacted. What should we do?" Shui Meiying tried to contact Miko via telecommunication talisman, but there was no response.
"Miko and her Goddess Mama are still in their private world. Naturally, we can’t reach her. We also need to restock our anti-evil magic items. So, a return visit is a must. Should we give her a surprise visit? Let’s bring some gifts and souvenirs!" Feng Mingyue made an appointment with Shui Meiying to visit Miko next week.
After the agreement, Feng Mingyue summoned her firebird in the sky to land. They joined the primary force to check the results of the battle against the heavenly demon.
Since there were many high-ranking participants from the alliance, the battle could be resolved with minimal casualties. It was also the reason why the two saintesses were pushed aside to eradicate the demon minions instead of facing the big boss monster.
"Good job, everyone. Oh, you’re here, Mingyue. We’re done here, but everyone is pretty much exhausted." Feng Xue was a little out of breath.
"Are you okay, eldest sister? This is spring water for you. It will help you to recover." Feng Mingyue hopped down from her firebird and handed over a bottle of fresh drink.
"Thanks, but this... this is from Sacred Sakura’s spring? How did you get it?" Feng Xue received the bottle, curious about how her little sister could obtain it.
"Uhm, yes... I asked Miko for a few liters last month. It had been filtered and boiled thoroughly with a special method to enhance its recovery effect." Feng Mingyue reassured her sister as she got it the legal way.
Feng Xue breathed a sigh of relief. Since Miko was the one who gave permission and personally gifted it to her sister, then everything was alright. She drank the spring water, feeling fresh and fit again in just a few seconds.
"So many participants and we were all exhausted just because of one heavenly demon and his minions. Luckily, the Sacred Sakura Alliance was formed early, and the Sacred Sakura Goddess bestowed us with her blessings." Shui Meiying muttered softly under her breath.
She looked at the distant sky, feeling grateful that Sacred Sakura Holy Land intervened in world affairs as the leading holy land that united the world.
If Sacred Sakura didn’t get involved early or perhaps remained unconcerned with outside world affairs like how other sacred lands usually behave, the world would be doomed for sure.

"Hm?" Elysia felt many people in Quadtria chant her name in their hearts with much gratitude.
She was traveling at the speed of light through the space tunnel as she was going to the location of her faithful servant at the top of the list, and several familiar names from Quadtria rose past the fruitful believer limit, entering the few people with faith above 95%.
<| Godly System |>
<| Believers: 396K | Fruitful: 190.3K | Unfruitful: 192.6K | Rootless: 13.1K |>
’Your followers have almost doubled since last we checked. Congratulations, Ely~’ Elena leaned her head to the side, checking the Godly System.
’Hehe, we haven’t touched 0.1% of Erina’s followers. She has more than 700 million followers back on Earth.’ Elysia chuckled in her mind in a light joke.
’No, you can’t compare your believers with that kind of social media followers, Ely. The former holds power and faith, while the latter leads to nothing but numbers. Also, more than half of the mentioned 700 million were killed during various disasters after the world merges.’ Lifa explained a little, but she immediately closed her mouth reflexively.
’That sounds a bit dark. You don’t need to bring up Earth’s past tragedy. It’s beyond our control.’ Elena smacked Lifa’s head.
’Sorry, I didn’t mean it.’ Lifa held her head.
’It’s okay. The good people will still be blessed with a heavenly paradise. Anyway, I feel like we’re forgetting something, sisters...’ Elysia changed the topic of conversation as she didn’t want to feel gloomy. It was already happening. She couldn’t change anything other than improving Earth’s future.
’If you don’t remember it, then I guess it’s not important.’ Elena shrugged as she didn’t feel they missed anything important.
Elysia still felt a bit unconvinced. She then asked her family members about it, but they also didn’t feel they had forgotten or missed anything important on either Earth or Quadtria.
’If it’s Earth, I guess you forgot to visit Victoria, the night raven. If it’s Quadtria, I guess it’s related to the two Gods. They went down unauthorized two or three months ago. Or perhaps, you want to visit your saintess friends, master?’ Rhea tried to recall it again.
"?!" Elysia gasped. So many things needed to be done, and after what had happened, it made her forget about Victoria.
She promised to give a reward to that Demi-God night raven for looking after Erina in her stead. Even though Gaia was the one who mostly did the job of protecting Erina for her, Victoria was still a good bird.
’She only stayed by my side for less than two years, Ellie. After that, she returned to England, her homeland. I don’t know for sure, but the rumor is that there was a peerless expert who put her into submission. She became that person’s beast companion.’ Erina shared her information with everyone.
’Is that so... The higher-ups are a bit anxious to let such a precious Demi-God bird wander around without an owner. Someone who can subdue a Demi-God bird... That person is most likely the Reincarnated God of Heaven, right?’ Elysia tapped her chin, deep in thought.
There were still many crouching tigers and hidden dragons on Earth, not yet recruited into the Guardian Alliance. Hopefully, Cube Island’s AI would discover those hidden experts and invite them into the alliance circle.
"Sorry, the journey is getting a bit boring. I haven’t placed a world marker in Vrelenia like Earth and Quadtria. We can only rely on manual routes through my believers." Elysia looked back.
"Everything is good." He-Dao replied with an OK hand gesture.
’Goddess Ely, are you sure it will work? Do I really have to do it?’ Yuna still felt a little embarrassed. She was unusually quiet because she kept thinking about the plan given by Goddess Ely.
’Hum, that should work. No man would refuse such an angel’s sincere confession. After a game of push and pull, you will know the answer. We can’t help much after two more attempts.’ Elysia reassured Yuna with a wink.
She knew Yuna held a special place in He-Dao’s heart, as did other Heavenly Agents who served as He-Dao’s close confidants. So, they deserved the best from him as well.
Unfortunately, she and her family would only help Yuna and Amy in just two more attempts because they knew it would truly upset He-Dao if it was more than that.
’You sound like an experienced lady who can play a man’s heart at your beck and call, my lady. Please share your life experience with us.’ Amy was intrigued by Goddess Ely’s love life.
’Hehe, I read a lot of stories and listen to many life experiences from my sisters.’ Elysia grasped her hand on her upper chest, remembering the past betrayal with a faint smile, but it didn’t matter anymore because now she had her family.
’This may sound presumptuous, but may I know what’s going on? You are a perfect peerless divine lady who holds the supreme power. Who dares break our Supreme One’s heart?’ Amy paled a little, but her concern won her over as if she needed to know Goddess Ely’s problem.
"Do you want to hear a story?" Elysia replied with a meaningful gaze, speaking for everyone to hear.
"Yes, please!" Amy was excited.
Elysia started telling stories to accompany the journey. Even though it was a story and topic for ladies, He-Dao crossed his arms and turned his head to the side as if he didn’t want to get involved, but he actually listened to the story enthusiastically.
’...’ Yuna was silent for a moment. She could feel her lord had a secret crush on Goddess Ely.
With Goddess Ely’s help, she probably could open her lord’s heart. It would be best if Goddess Ely became the Heavenly Consort because that way, she could join her lord’s harem with ease.
’I’m fine to be a concubine, but why doesn’t he ever look at me as a woman. I want to blame you, Lady Nirvana...’ Yuna sighed as she couldn’t help it.
She was afraid that her lord would reject her sincere confession as it might break her heart, but she still wanted to know his answer after her feelings were hung for eons.
However, it would wait for the right time and opportunity. As for now, everyone would visit the world saved by the Supreme Goddess.
