My Goddess is Good at Pretending

Chapter 134: Pass Down the ’Legacy’

"You should seek your own future and find your happiness. Not for anyone else, but for yourself."

"’He’ intends to go to a faraway place. Once ’he’ ascend, you may never see ’him’ again. ’He’ let this engagement because ’he’ wants to secure your position. From now onwards, you need to do the rest yourself with all the opportunities you’ve been given."

Yuuki and Sylvia had a private talk with Skyla. They cornered the nightmare demoness, but the latter was still determined about something.

"You, why do you need to be so mean to me? I’m trying to get along well with you. Also, if he’s going to leave, will he leave you too?" Skyla felt a little intimidated, but she wasn’t down so easily.

"Who knows? We told you to strive for the good of yourself, not the others. You also have a good clan. You won’t get anywhere if you don’t know what you need to do."

"We’ll be leaving tomorrow. You’d better forget about ’him’ as there is no love or attachment. Even so, you can still enjoy all the privileges you have now, fufu~"

Yuuki and Sylvia then ended their private conversation with Skyla. They walked out of Skyla’s tent like nothing happened.

They just put some mental pressure on Skyla so this nightmare demoness wouldn’t pursue Ely’s dark knight identity.

"..." Skyla slumped to the ground and looked down. She didn’t love her fiance yet, but that didn’t mean she would just let him get away.

What she felt in her heart and thinking in her mind were mixed and complicated. She was confused and didn’t know what to do.

Her fiance was like a golden thigh. She could soar to an unmeasurable height if she could hug it tightly. She would do anything to be his woman at this rate.

However, his women didn’t want her to be there. They wished to enjoy everything by themselves. It was her fiance! She knew him before they met him!

’If I am not good enough for him now, then just you wait... I will make you kneel before me, demonesses. Give me three years, and I’ll make him head over heels for me. He won’t be able to live without me the next time we meet. Even though he will ascend to the upper realm, his roots are still in this place, and also Sacred Sakura. I can still seek him out without your permission.’ Skyla stared ahead with a burning gaze.

She clenched her fist as she couldn’t swallow what those women had just said. She felt so humiliated and belittled.

If that was the case, she would snatch him for herself somewhere in the future opportunity. She had to groom and refine herself to become a perfect lady with significant authority and power.

That way, she would be the one to determine her fate, not someone else. She no longer wanted to worry about her future and fate anymore.

With that in mind, Skyla was motivated to conquer her fiance and put those demonesses in their place.

Meanwhile, Sylvia and Yuuki had just returned to Ely’s side. They were in the Nightmare Demon Ancestor’s tent to take care of the matter regarding the God of Poison’s soul remnant.

"What did you do in the last hour?" Ely asked in a whisper-like voice.

"Hehe, nothing. We achieved one of your objectives with a private conversation about truth and discouragement." Sylvia smirked faintly and made a peace hand gesture.

"Hmm?" Ely didn’t understand what Sylvia meant but didn’t think much of it.

She then read the report from Abraham.

It contained a lot of information about the upper realm. Nevertheless, she had to confirm the authenticity of it to Zi Xuan when she returned later.

Even so, she believed the upper realm was chaotic. It was like the mortal world, but most cultivators and magic practitioners already had their own divinity... the ones with the title of God and Immortal.

The mortal world’s biggest problem was a war that could destroy a region. However, if chaos broke out in the upper realm, the degree of destruction could extend to the annihilation of a mini world and a secret realm.

Compared to the sky’s vastness in the upper realm, the God of Poison was still considered a small fry.

Even though he had transcended beyond the mortal boundary for thousands of years before the path to the upper realm got sealed, this black serpent demi-human was only a guard in a particular renowned clan.

"That’s too bad for you. You answered your descendant’s call and used your secret trump card to return to the mortal world, but many entities still can bully you here." Ely was amused.

The soul-sealing gourd shook several times as if the soul within it was voicing some protests, but nobody could hear him out.

"Young Demon God, what are your next instructions?" Abraham asked respectfully.

"He has already leaked some information to you. Even a God of his class is nothing more than a guard in the upper realm. Many entities can bully us if we ascend there rashly. That is if we have a way to go there." Ely put the report into her storage pouch.

"But, we lost our way to the upper realm. He doesn’t want to return there. His realm-breaking formation is already destroyed. Without it, his forbidden technique is no longer useful." One of the ancient demon ancestors voiced his opinion.

"No rush. You will only end up like him if you ascend to the upper realm. We need thorough preparation. Also, I know a powerful devil who failed to ascend because the heavens don’t allow anyone to ascend to the upper realm. The heavens don’t want any additional troublemakers in the upper realm."

"Then, what happened to that powerful devil?"

"He died, and his body perished into ashes. You will also suffer the same fate if you try to ascend to the upper realm."

"!!!"

Ely brought up the matter regarding the ascension as she wanted to play her little scheme to prevent these ancient demon ancestors from trying to ascend to the upper realm.

Even if they tried despite her warning, they would die like what happened to Klaus, the vampire progenitor.

The ancient demon ancestors were shocked. If they couldn’t go to the upper realm, then what they did was nothing but a waste. They could lose their goals. They also wanted to become Gods and Immortals.

"But you don’t need to worry. We will find a way to ascend safely, but you must first improve your power to the higher rank. It is not impossible to exceed the mortal boundary in the mortal world, despite the mortal realm’s restrictions." Ely threw a casual statement, but it sounded like a bomb to the ancient demon ancestors.

That immediately made all the ancient demon ancestors motivated and excited.

"Young Demon God, please enlighten us!" Abraham clasped his hand with a radiant expression. After all, he was the closest to the mortal pinnacle to the other ancient demon ancestors.

Ely then smirked behind her dark knight helmet.

Previously, she had researched a bit about the Evil God’s inheritance. It was still under the Artificial Hell Core’s control, and she held the authority to regulate it.

Since she was the highest authority, she would use it to share the Evil God’s flawed inheritance with the ancient demons. They would practice the ancient demonic arts. That way, she could exert control and influence.

After the ancient demons practised those flawed ancient demonic arts, she could readily handle them when they rebelled and became evil demons.

It was just a precautionary plan. The ancient demons would become stronger because of those ancient demonic arts, but she would also have to put reins on them just in case.

She had already discussed this with Yuuki, Sylvia, and her disciples. They would test it out on some ancient demons first, and that was what she wanted to do.

Ely explained her plan to pass down the God-tier inheritance, and the ancient demon ancestors became overjoyed.

"Our Young Demon God will pass down his legacy to us!"

"So, he has transcended beyond the mortal boundary regardless of the mortal realm’s restrictions and suppression!"

"All talented demons have a chance to learn his legacy!"

"We can always try to go to the upper realm when truly ready to explore the higher realm unfettered."

"We will become ancient immortal demon clans soon!"

The ancient demon ancestors muttered excitedly.

"Yeah, everyone can learn it, but don’t think everyone is the chosen one. Let’s find the talented seedlings for this now. As the seniors, you will be the last on the list." Ely took the soul-sealing gourd and walked away.

The ancient demon ancestors’ excitement instantly died down, knowing they were the last in priority. However, they should avoid competing with the juniors to maintain their image.

Regardless, they still had the chance to learn the Young Demon God’s secret cultivation techniques and demonic arts! Thus, they were not too worried.

"Young Demon God, may I know what you will do to that God’s soul?" Abraham asked in wonder.

"He is still useful. I will do the rest. Your interrogation and report are appreciated. Let’s go." Ely didn’t intend to tell much and immediately left the tent. Her girls soon followed suit.
