My Goddess is Good at Pretending

Chapter 220: Path to the Divine World

"Wow..." Jophiel was amazed, but the mark soon disappeared from her forehead. It was still there, but she couldn’t see it.

"Do you like it?" Elysia was pretty proud of her art.

"Mm, thank you vermu, master~" Jophiel pressed her cheek to her Goddess Master to express her gratitude.

"Do your best in your practice. I will remove this veil because this is a hot spring." Elysia took off Jophiel’s veil and put it in Jophiel’s hand.

"Ah-mm, alright." Jophiel tucked her veil into her cleavage.

Several girls immediately surrounded Jophiel, Elysia, and Miko at that moment.

They wanted to see Jophiel’s charming, seductive face up close. However, they also wanted to take advantage of this opportunity for bonding and quality time with Elysia and Miko.

"..." Zi Xuan heaved a subtle sigh and watched the liveliness of the girls from the side. Goddess Elysia has spoken to her to ask about her well-being.

She encountered no obstacles in her cultivation, but she still had no courage to discuss her problems and ask Goddess Elysia for help.

If hot spring talk wasn’t good for her, she had to go with the next opportunity. Since it would become an all-girls sleepover, then bed talk might help.

Hearing the lively and pleasant laughter from the female’s hot spring next door, Azrael could only cross his arms while trying to eavesdrop on some things.

He then glanced to the side. A three-meter tall man with full-body brown dragon armor meditated near the hot water fountain.

Gio, the earth dragon, transformed into a three-meter-tall humanoid dragon. Even though it looked like a man in cool full-body dragon armor, it was actually Gio’s skin.

The nearby two little dragons seemed to be practicing a technique from Gio.

"It’s so lively next door, and they’re having so much fun. And, our friends here are practicing transformation techniques, apparently." Michael put a small towel over his head and sipped a cup of sake, watching the two little dragons try their best to comprehend a technique from Gio.

"Rawr!" Noir grasped something crucial from Gio’s transformation technique. He immediately took his new comprehension into action and bloated up in flames.

Far from the human form, he found he only became a little bigger, but with longer legs and arms than usual. Also, a much more bloated stomach.

Noir’s humanoid transformation failed, and Gio smacked his junior, asking Noir to do it all over again from the basics.

"..." Noir transformed back into a little dragon again. He was confident with his body size transformation, but the humanoid transformation was difficult.

As a 10th Rank dragon, he never thought he would need a humanoid form... not before he witnessed his senior powerful-looking and super cool humanoid form.

As for Cherub, he was still comprehending the in-depth secrets behind Gio’s humanoid transformation technique.

He was practically and literally stronger and older than Gio. Despite his seniority, he did not have his humanoid form yet.

Therefore, he was currently learning from Gio. He previously hadn’t had time to practice this technique, but now was the right moment to make it happen.

Upon realizing something crucial and grasping them more thoroughly, Cherub put his hands together and wrapped himself with his four wings.

A vacuum-like spiraling darkness enveloped him, and it enlarged into something ominous-looking.

"!!!" Gio and everyone were alerted, but no one took any action because the incident only lasted less than three seconds.

Blazing red eyes emerged amidst the darkness, and then a two-meter-tall man in full-body dark dragon armor stepped out from the spiraling darkness. Humanoid dragon form... Cherub tried confidently and succeeded with the results he had expected.

"Grr!" Cherub soaked in the hot spring pool as if nothing had happened. He then raised his thumb at everyone.

"Hm!" Gio also gave a thumbs up. His comrade was truly as talented as he could expect.

Noir was incredibly surprised. He began to ask Cherub about what had just happened because he might have missed some details in this humanoid transformation technique.

"Wow, I finally understand why people say dragons are the men’s dream. Their original dragon form is already cool, and their transformations are superb! But what if the said men are the authentic dragons? Aren’t they living their dreams?" Michel’s eyes sparkled with admiration. He also joined the dragon gang to seek insight, even though he did not understand the dragon language.

"Sometimes, life as a dragon seems so simple yet enjoyable. They are born with a powerful physique and are known as the strongest race. What do you think, ninth, junior brother?" Azrael shook his head.

"It’s not as simple as it seems. Even though they started far above our level, our obstacles are equally difficult. Some dragons are known as legendary creatures, but not all dragons are legendary. People only know the good side but never know the great effort they went through." Reguel closed his eyes and entered a meditation position.

"We shall become one of the legends one day. We must go through our paths to the pinnacle that master has shown us."

"Yes, our master expects a lot from us. As the max-ranked Immortal, her aims are something divine that we can never possibly understand with our mortal minds. As for now, we need to try our best to ascend to 10th Rank in five years."

"Yeah, but her other aim remains the same. The Heavenly Demon’s seeds must be eradicated because it will hinder her greater plans."

"It goes without saying."

Reguel and Azrael were so motivated as they knew they could achieve the greater height they had ever imagined under Goddess Elysia’s guidance.

A few moments later, everyone gathered in a vacant area in the backyard.

Elysia was being carried by Miko. They were in front of the crystalline altar, preparing to activate the mechanism that He-Dao had left for them. They would open the path to the Divine World.

Anyone at 9th Rank or above was present nearby, and everyone else watched at a safe distance.

Elysia summoned Sacred Heaven Grimoire. She had made an appointment with Heavenly Dao to open the path by activating the crystalline altar artifact with her divine laws at the appointed time.

Several Gods and Immortals also had some ’business’ with her.

Supreme Goddess of Mysterious Origin: [I will activate the crystalline divine altar now, and this divine artifact will become mine.]

Heavenly Dao: [Affirmative. Please activate it with the manifestation crystal cores and your divine laws as the power source, my lady.]

He-Dao and his accomplices were overjoyed to know the entity they had been waiting for would ascend. They expected the Supreme Goddess of Mysterious Origin to arrive in the Divine World sooner.

However, those Gods and Immortals would never have guessed that Elysia had other plans regarding this matter. She and her people wouldn’t go to Divine World that soon.

Elysia looked at Zera and nodded.

Zera stepped forward and dumped all manifestation crystal cores from her void.

Those crystals got absorbed by the crystalline altar and disappeared without a trace. Soon, the crystalline altar began to glow, emitting golden but sometimes kaleidoscopic light.
