My Goddess is Good at Pretending

Chapter 257: Enlightenment Pagoda

Gio, Cherub, and Nior participated in the Artificial Hell Realm’s reformation with their new little juniors, Muckga and Leviathan.

The five massive monsters taught many Artificial Hell’s overlord monsters a lesson to submit to the Almighty Goddess and follow the rules of the new realm.

The Artificial Hell Core would enter its evolution, along with the massive changes the Almighty Goddess implemented to the Artificial Hell Realm. Therefore, the Artificial Hell’s remaining creatures had to be put under control.

The Artificial Hell Realm would soon become obsolete and need to change its name to a new one.

"Helven Realm. That will be your new name after your evolution. The Hell and Heaven, the two dimensions in your realm, will be a wonderful paradise for various creatures." Elysia tapped the realm core before it entered evolutionary hibernation.

The Artificial Hell Realm had undergone a massive change to a higher level. The dimension with the blazing blue sky, the Heaven, had turned into a fertile land with several mountains, forests, lakes, and seas.

Meanwhile, the dimension with the blazing red sky, the Hell, was still the hell-like realm with an extreme environment of various versions, not just a volcanic land, the special place for calamity-class creatures.

The Artificial Hell Core jumped up and down happily. It paid its respect to the Almighty Goddess before entering its shell and closing the lid, going into hibernation for evolution.

Elysia responded with a faint smile. She then waved her hand to Gio, Cherub, Noir and other calamity-class creatures who had just submitted to the new realm rules.

’Ely, let’s go back. It’s time for everyone to take the qualification test.’ Elena reminded Elysia as it was time for them to go back.

"Mm." Elysia nodded in understanding. She opened the portal and returned to her people’s side.

At that moment, everyone had gathered in the Enlightenment Pagoda’s grand hall. Miko had just finished explaining a brief guide about the appraisal device to measure participants’ difficulty level qualifications.

All her people would participate in the test, except her Goddess sisters, because their qualifications were obvious.

"Master, you are back." Rhea welcomed Elysia’s return.

"Mm, we’re back." Elysia replied with a tender smile to her Goddess sisters. She then watched everyone, but they couldn’t see her and her Goddess sisters yet.

"Starting from the front, please queue in an orderly manner." Miko presented ten three-meter-tall tube-like artifacts to everyone.

She got off the stage, approaching her mama and everyone in the invisible dome. And she didn’t forget to encourage her disciples with an encouraging smile.

"I am the first!" Sylvia moved like a shadow and arrived at one of the appraisal tubes instantly. She went inside and let the golden lights assess her qualifications.

"What’s with the rush? Is it okay for us to be first?" Yuuki asked in wonder as she believed Elysium members would get the most outstanding qualifications compared to other groups.

"It’s okay, I guess..." Luna felt it would be the best for the Elysium members to take the last turn. However, they were at the front of the line, and it was a bit awkward to suddenly retreat to the back after Miko announced the front ones had their first turn.

Thus, the Elysium members entered the appraisal tubes to get their tickets.

The indicator on Sylvia’s appraisal tube rose to its maximum value on the seventh bar, and Sylvia walked out with a golden ticket proudly.

The other Elysium members also got their golden tickets, except Dory. She received the silver one, indicating she was not ready to take the hard difficulty training and had to undergo the intermediate one.

"No way..." Dory widened her eyes in surprise when she saw her ticket.

Her qualification stopped on the sixth bar, intermediate difficulty. She only needed another one to go with everyone to hard difficulty training. But, she was declared not ready for that!

"The fourth to sixth is for the intermediate difficulty. Please don’t be sad. We have a long road ahead."

"Yeah, that doesn’t mean our Goddess Master will abandon you. Cheer up."

"That’s just one more bar, and you can join us at the next training session."

"This qualifying test not only assesses strength but also understanding, constitution, mental state, faith, and many other indicators. I believe you can reach the seventh bar in the next session, Dory."

The other Elysium members tried to cheer up Dory.

"Mm, thank you. I will try my best to climb to the seventh bar in the next session." Dory clenched her fist with determination. She had to catch up with her comrade sisters, or at least, she had to ensure she wasn’t left far behind.

The next one was Miko’s disciples. Unfortunately, only Gabriella got the golden ticket. Half of the disciples received their silver tickets, and the other half bronze tickets.

"First sister... *sob* you must fight for us too. We will try our best to catch you up to the hard difficulty in the next session." Jophiel said goodbye to her first sister.

"Err, don’t dramatize the situation. This training is classified into several levels, not a farewell." Gabriella covered Jophiel’s veiled face with a broom.

"See you again in three days. We expect a lot from you as our representative." Michael gave a thumbs up.

"Uuh, we’re not ready for the hard ones, huh. Outer space experience. We need to strive for the better soon..." Rafaela felt a bit disappointed with herself.

The other disciples felt the same. However, this little event boosted their determination to achieve a higher qualification in the next session. They had to ensure they could follow their master and everyone in the next session.

The qualifying test continued for one hour.

Alicia was the only one who got the golden ticket in the witch group. The other 1st generation witches received the silver tickets. While the witches and wizards, who had just returned, mostly got bronze tickets, and only ten with silver tickets.

The personnel from Blue Soul Fox Fleet and El-Fai Merchant Fleet did not have anyone with a golden ticket. Most of them had to settle for a bronze ticket. Only less than 30% received the silver ticket. A similar situation occurred for the mermaids and other groups.

The monks of the Temple of Law had Kirara as the only one with a golden ticket, and the faithful believers of the Elysion Church had three representatives with golden tickets.

"Congratulations to all of us. For those who haven’t gotten the golden ticket, please practice more diligently for yourself and our Supreme Goddess." Kirara congratulated the monks and nuns of the Temple of Law.

The Temple of Law’s elders then conveyed their deep gratitude to their Supreme Goddess. They had yet to receive the opportunity to seek enlightenment from their Supreme Goddess directly. Nevertheless, they wished for their only representative to strive for the best to satisfy their Goddess’ expectations for their sake as well.

"Each level of difficulty qualification means an invaluable opportunity. You will undergo training specifically designed to improve your overall strength. Our Supreme Goddess brings the divine opportunities before us, and her divine grace puts many expectations on us." Ella provided a little enlightenment to the believers.

She invited them specifically to this world for this incomparable opportunity, and they had to live up to their Goddess’ expectations.

"You don’t need to worry, Priestess Ella."

"We’ll never disappoint our Supreme Goddess."

"We shall mobilize our best and become the strongest force and spread our Supreme Goddess’ divine teachings throughout the world and beyond."

"All praise to the Supreme Goddess Ely. Thank you for presenting us with this incomparable opportunity. We shall use this opportunity to strengthen our force to uphold our justice for our Goddess."

The fruitful believers clasped their hands in prayer after stating their gratitude, motivation, and determination.

After that, several wisp-like spiritual entities appeared out of nowhere. They guided the participants to three different aisles.

Participants with bronze tickets went to the inner hall on the first floor, silver tickets to the second floor, and gold tickets to the third floor.

"I hold the God-tier legacy, and my qualifications are only bronze ticket class?" Bai Yuchen looked at the group of gold and silver tickets with complicated feelings. He was classified as the young hero, but he was declared unprepared for the harder difficulty...

"This is our Goddess Master’s divine artifact. The appraisal is definitely accurate in measuring everyone’s qualifications. You haven’t even reached 5th Rank. The bronze is also an extraordinary opportunity. We still have a very long way to go to achieve immortality. Let’s go." One of the kind seniors dragged Bai Yuchen away.

The Bronze Enlightenment Chamber was a spacious hall with a large white crystal in the middle.

However, it was almost an empty hall. Apart from hundreds of cushion seats, the large white crystal was the only facility there. Everyone wondered about many things, but everything was answered when the humanoid guide near the crystal spoke.

"Welcome to the Bronze Enlightenment Chamber, esteemed participants. Please put your hand to the Enlightenment Crystal to receive the best cultivation techniques for you. You can choose from the options, and then you may cultivate, meditate, and try to comprehend your dao at the Enlightenment Spot. If your achievements are rated as impressive, you will get a chance to win the enlightenment ticket to seek profound insight. We also have the Mind Simulation to test your true potential and measure your real combat power in semi-realistic high-level battles. If you need anything, please visit the shop over there."

Hearing that, Bai Yuchen, the nearest one, immediately rushed over to take the first turn. He put his hand on the Enlightenment Crystal, and a virtual screen appeared before his face.

Several high-level cultivation techniques were presented before his eyes. However, he could only choose one for each category. The offensive, defensive, and support class techniques.

"Hehe, that’s an amazing opportunity. The bronze and our Goddess Master are super generous in passing down the immortal techniques. How about the higher floor? Err... this, this, and this! I choose you. You are my first chosen ones!" Bai Yuchen chose his techniques, and his choices turned into a white light shooting into his head.

At that moment, the three techniques were instantly sent straight to his brain. He had the urge to comprehend them thoroughly immediately. Thus, he hurriedly went to the Cultivation Spot. He seemed to pass an air barrier, but he didn’t bother with it. He took a spot and sat cross-legged on the cushion seat in deep meditation.

The other participants immediately came to the Enlightenment Crystal for their turn to receive the immortal techniques.
