My Goddess is Good at Pretending

Chapter 232: Divine World’s Problem

"My wine friend... you know? The Divine World also has several separate realms."

"The Divine World also has eight Heaven layers, from First Heaven to Eighth Heaven. It’s like a pyramid, and the Heavenly Realm is at the top..."

"But! Even though that man is the absolute ruler of all the Heavens, he still has countless problems. Despite his profound divine power of laws, some existences can still threaten his authority... and he actually feels afraid and threatened. That’s why he sought help from the higher existence. He tried his best to receive that entity’s help when one came, especially since the other party possessed so much good karma."

After saying that, Amy rested her head against her arms, sleepy.

"..." Elysia glanced at the surrounding people with astonishment.

Heavenly Dao possessed 18th Rank divine power. As the God Emperor with the absolute Heavenly Laws under his command, he could still not hold the ultimate reign...

Realizing the situation was odd, Elysia proceeded to her next question. "He is indeed involved in many unresolved problems. The Divine World’s matter is really troublesome. You must be having a lot of trouble. But may I know who can threaten him? As the strongest one in Heavens, what kind of existence can scare him?"

"I know, right! The Immortal Emperor is not just one. Even though they can’t defeat him, they are still forces that must be considered. Not to mention, because of the last great battle and after removing the defectors several years ago... he is weakened. The seal is about to crack in a few years. It’s so much headache!"

"Those goddamn traitors! They got information that a higher existence came to our planet and leaked it to his arc enemy, including about his weakened state. Now, that cursed creature’s monster armies are trying to destroy the realm barrier and invade the Divine World before the higher existence can intervene."

"I sometimes feel tired, but that is about everyone’s safety and future. Only a few people know about this matter... However, I will tell you, my wine friend! Since you’re a good wine, then you can’t be bad. You know, a forbidden sealed realm in the Heavenly Realm’s depth is the abyss. There is another layer above the Heavenly Realm, the sealed ninth layer, reversed from the eighth layer, the Nirvana Realm..."

Amy drew a pyramid with eight layers and an inverted triangle at the top.

The pyramid’s highest layer was the Heavenly Realm, and the inverted triangle above it was the sealed forbidden realm. She pointed at it with a sad look.

"The place where all tragedy originated was sealed after the first world destruction. The terrible curse and calamity. The once most prosperous pinnacle has become the deepest abyss of insanity with no return..."

After saying that, Amy felt her eyes were so heavy. She closed her eyes and then fell asleep soundly.

"..." Elysia felt a bit tense.

She knew the Divine World wasn’t okay, but she never expected it was something that could threaten the entire Heaven. Not to mention the curse... the Divine Curse!

’Is it perhaps related to the Ruvoid Race?’ Elysia opened a discussion with her Goddess sisters and everyone within the barrier.

’I don’t think so. Amy never said about those monsters having super anti-magic abilities. Only curse. So, the abyss monster’s invasion.’ Elena expressed her opinion.

’Mm, yes! Based on history, sovereigns challenged Heaven, and several heroes fought the Heavenly Demons. That’s what we previously knew.’ Miko nodded in agreement. She wasn’t sure that the ones threatening the Divine World were the Ruvoid Race.

Truthfully, Elysia and her people wanted to avoid reencountering those monsters, not when Goddess Elysia could fully counter the super anti-magic.

’I can’t believe this. Is the Ruvoid Race everywhere? That’s not possible, right? Wherever we go, there are those annoying creatures causing trouble.’ Fortuna grasped her head. Her new family had yet to fully recover their power, and this world’s highest God wished them to help him eliminate that kind of threat!?

’Calm down. Do you remember this planet is a combination of three worlds? The destruction of the world has happened twice. There might be another Heavenly Dao present. He-Dao here feels threatened, probably because of them and their armies. The ones that frightened him seemed to have been affected by the curse.

Those who become pure evil, insane, or mindless Gods can also happen because of the curse of immortality. All those cursed abyss beings are sealed in the Nirvana Realm. The so-called abyss invasion began from there.’ Lifa tried to come up with the most plausible reason using her understanding.

’The abyss, but that at the peak of Heaven?’

’That could still happen, considering this world has many separate dimensions.’

’Then, He-Dao is indeed so desperate for our help. After all, they identified our Goddess Elysia as a Supreme One.’

’But, that will put us in harm’s way. He wants to borrow the knife to eliminate the enemy!’

’What do we need to do?’

The Goddess sisters and those around Elysia discussed briefly, but they looked at Elysia.

’We got enough clues for further divination. We shall see the possible future this night. If it is indeed the Ruvoid Race, we need an advanced technique to counter them more effectively. If it’s just abyss monsters... then their doom is just a matter of time. After all, if it are curses, we are never afraid of them.’

Elysia took out a blanket and covered Amy. She was grateful for some honest clues provided by the drunk Goddess. Amy might be angry later, but it was He-Dao’s fault. He only told her what she needed to know, not what she wanted to know about why he needed her help, the Divine World’s biggest problem.

He might have his own reasons for not telling her that soon. Still, her curiosity had already won closer to the ultimate matters.

"Does it have anything to do with the Heavenly Demon of the upper realm? They also have something like Heavenly Curse." Miko raised her hand and wondered deeply about it.

"They might be remnants of the corrupted monsters from Nirvana Realm. However, they are no longer as dangerous as the authentic divine abyss monsters. Heaven Rank fought them, but He-Dao never ordered his people to eliminate them thoroughly, right?" Luna came up with her guess.

"The Heavenly Demon of the upper realm is nothing more than immortal demons who worship the authentic Heavenly Demons. The real Heavenly Demon God is probably one of the demon sovereigns of Nirvana Realm." Ai peeked out of Elysia’s shadow to convey her opinion.

"That makes sense. What do you think about this, Zera?" Elysia stared at her shadow.

"I can’t detect any resonance with the Ruvoid Race. It might be because of the upper world’s boundary or because the Nirvana Realm is sealed by the Heavenly Realm." Zera also peeked out.

"I see... it would be much better if they were as reasonable and good as you, Zera. We must find a way to counter their anti-magic to prepare for the worst if the Ruvoid Race reappears. We need your help. Our encounter with them won’t be the last, I believe." Elysia stretched her hand down.

"Understood." Zera put her head on Elysia’s palm. She didn’t know why, but this simple skinship already represented their mutual trust.

"If we need to fight your former race, will you stay with us or join them?" Ai turned to the side, asking Zera with a solemn expression.

"If they deserve to die, nothing can save them from Goddess Elysia’s purgatory." Zera answered without any consideration. She didn’t care about her former race because her entire being had already evolved and transcended beyond it.

"..." Elysia looked up at the sky in deep thought. She recalled the day the 3rd strongest Ruvoid God in Vrelenia escaped to the higher universe.

They would meet again, he said. However, she hoped it wasn’t on this planet. She and her family weren’t ready to encounter that super troublesome enemy again.

It was already noon, and the test for the underwater expedition had reached the final stage. Only one hundred and ten people from Sacred Mountain passed the test, eighty of whom were Miko’s disciples. As for Morfina and Yae’s personnel, they all managed to get participation tickets.

Elysia came to the forest gathering ground and deactivated her magic. The floating river was reduced to ordinary water and then absorbed by the soil.

’Miko, you need to give a speech here. Look at those gloomy souls over there. It’s as if they have lost hope and future.’ Elysia tapped Miko’s arm with her finger.

"Mhm." Miko nodded in understanding, then went to the middle of the gathering ground. "For those who fail the test, don’t be discouraged. Even with my mama’s blessings, you still need the ability to fight and move freely underwater. This journey will take place for one month at most, and for our next expedition, everyone will participate. So, please train yourself to be the best. We expect a lot from you."

"!?" The beasts, demons, and disciples in the contemplation tent suddenly became enlightened after the shrine priestess gave her speech.

They regained their motivation and responded with enthusiasm to practice more diligently.

Once the matter was resolved, everyone who passed the test gathered at the Sacred Mountain’s summit.

Elysia erected several barriers around the shrine abode to ensure its safety.

Miko appealed to those who would stay to take shelter around the shrine abode if a super strong enemy or great danger came to Sacred Mountain. They would come to aid immediately, and everyone’s safety was paramount.

The merchant fleet belonging to Morfina and Yae hovered in the air, waiting for everyone to board the ships.

At that moment, the disciples and forest dwellers were shocked when they saw the presence of the shrine priestess and the nine-tailed shadow fox walking next to each other.

They knew the nine-tailed shadow fox was the shrine priestess in her other identity, but there were currently two!

"Lady Kitsune will also participate... Damn, if only I were good at swimming." Bai Yuchen clenched his fists, feeling annoyed at his incompetence.
