Chapter 321: Try to Peer Further
Megami gazed at the grand Heavenly Palace behind and then scanned the surroundings with her Sacred Vision.
Based on He-Dao’s previous remark, the gate to the sealed Nirvana Realm was supposedly located in this region, considering that the Heavenly Realm of the Divine World was the highest Heaven in the 8th layer.
The sky was bright with golden clouds, the terrain was beautiful and fertile, and the scenery was truly Heavenly. The beasts that lived around the Heavenly Palace were classified as divine beasts, the Guardians of the Highest Heaven.
And as for those inside the palace, they were Heaven Rank members and probably He-Dao’s harems. After all, more than 85% of those in the palace are ladies!
"..." Megami asked in wonder, and she knew everyone in her mind who witnessed what she saw also felt the same way.
’That’s a Sovereign of Heaven. As the God Emperor, it is natural to have three thousand concubines like the Ancient Emperor back on Earth.’ Elysia couldn’t help but comment.
’Fufu, do you want to build one or join him? I’m against it.’ Elena poked Elysia’s cheek, emphasizing her disapproval.
’Why would I? But, we are building our army. ES Nirvana is carefully mass producing highest grade mechas and dolls.’ Elysia bit Elena’s naughty finger.
’Oh, the angel units... It’s good to have an army of puppets.’ Ai nodded in understanding.
’I hope Goddess Nell is not traumatized. She lost her entire angel army in the Vrelenia’s ancient great war...’ Miko was concerned.
’Hmm, alright then. Even though the doll army is all female, I will allow it. However, can our current technology manufacture the divine puppets?’ Elena was wondering because their family used abundant heavenly-tier resources to create Elysia’s divine avatar, namely Megami.
As for the mass-produced units, especially the divine angel ones... their family wasn’t ready to manufacture them.
’We’re not ready yet, but we will be soon.’ Elysia couldn’t help but smile.
She elaborated a little on her idea and plan to everyone. Megami was the one who would be involved a lot. As the important variable, Megami listened to everything attentively.
"Hm? What do you think, Xuan’er?" Megami glanced at the girl behind her. Zi Xuan kept holding the hem of her sleeve, looking a bit restless.
"Uhm, what are your instructions, my lady?" Zi Xuan quit her train of thought.
"You thought about your family and the Heavenly Moon Palace." Megami could guess it, and she knew she hit the mark because of Zi Xuan’s complicated expression.
"Yes..." Zi Xuan admitted it, knowing she couldn’t hit anything before Goddess Ely.

Megami checked at the two Immortal ladies on either side of her. They are still trying to appreciate her and discover something.
"Miss Mystic Stellar Saintess and Lady Agent of the White Realm, I will feel embarrassed if you continue to look at me like that." Megami adjusted her veil and waved her hand.
"My apologies, my lady. I was waiting for your instructions without any other intention." Agent of the White Realm apologized politely, but she still couldn’t shake off the doubt in her heart.
It was either the Supreme Goddess of Mysterious Origin wasn’t the real one, disguised everything so flawlessly, or maybe she still hadn’t fully recovered.
"Please pardon my rudeness, my lady. I can’t help but be enlightened as I continue to stare at the Supreme One." Mystic Stellar Saintess muttered with a dreamy expression.
She was wondering about the Supreme Goddess’ beautiful visage behind that veil. Their hair color was similar, as black as the darkest night but with a bluish sheen under the sunlight. However, the Supreme Goddess was clearly the supreme beauty above everything.
According to rumors, the Lord of Heaven, the Heavenly Dao, took a fancy to the Supreme Goddess of Mysterious Origin and wanted to pursue her as his consort!
However, her primary focus is not just that. Besides, she did get some enlightenment when she looked at the Supreme Goddess up close. She also had a request she wanted to make, but she needed to wait for the right moment.
"It’s alright. Can we start with introductions?" Megami raised her hand and returned to the most basic introduction. "You can call me Ely, and she is Xuan’er."
"My, my lady! Please pardon me, but please don’t mention your name carelessly." Agent of the White Realm gasped in surprise and immediately erected a barrier. She looked around and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that no one had spied upon them.
"I understand your reasons, and that’s fine. Chant my name specifically to refer to me, and you’ll get on my list." Megami puts her hand on her lap, looking forward with a calm expression.
"List?" Agent of White Realm wondered, but she couldn’t guess the answer.
"Pleased to meet you, Goddess Ely and Miss Xuan’er. I am Mytic, the Mystic Stellar Saintess." Mytic introduced herself respectfully, but it wasn’t her real name, as she had to abide by the rules.
"..." Agent of White Realm wasn’t so sure, but Agent of Dark Realm had notified her of something crucial.
Supreme Goddess of Mysterious Origin was omniscient in certain variables, and their true name was already known. The Supreme Goddess would prefer to communicate with their names rather than titles, and it was fine for pseudonyms.
"Please call me Yuna. I am the Agent of White Realm, the moderator of Heaven Channel and the highest Agent Order. Please tell me your further instructions, my lady." Yuna put her hand to her upper chest, playing it safe.
"This will be more convenient, but refer to me as Ely. I’m sure your Lord also doesn’t want my arrival to be known to outsiders." Megami raised her finger.
"Understood, Goddess Ely." Yuna nodded in understanding.
"Xuan’er, if you want to discover something or gain some clues regarding your clan, please ask Lady Yuna and Miss Mytic. After our tour, we’ll visit the Heavenly Moon Palace." Megami glanced back, giving Zi Xuan a chance.
"This-" Zi Xuan felt hesitant to ask.
The silver-haired lady on her master’s right was the Lord of Heaven’s right-hand confidante, and the one on her master’s left was the renowned Heavenly Saintess from the Mystic Stellar Palace.
As for her... she was once given the title of the most talented saintess in the younger generation, but that was a faded past.
"The youngest saintess, the maiden of the Zi Clan who earned the title of saintess at the age of twelve and was once rumored to have a high chance of reaching 15th Rank when she reached adulthood. However, she was missing during the first wave of Heavenly Demon invasion that occurred in the Heavenly Moon Region. Feel free to ask me anything, Miss Xuan’er." Mytic smiled kindly.
Zi Xuan took a deep breath. Since the Supreme Goddess would accompany her to see the truth, and she braced herself to dig for the clues before visiting that place. How about the Heavenly Moon Palace’s current state and the Zi Clan’s news?
Mytic then began to share the stories from everything she knew.
"Let’s proceed with our tour to all the Heavens." Megami gives her command.
Yuna controlled her flying chariot to tour the Heavenly Realm. She explained the places they crossed like a good guide.
After that, they went to the lower Heaven. On the way, she chatted a lot with the Supreme Goddess, trying to uncover some secrets of her own free will.
There weren’t many opportunities to ask questions. Still, the Supreme Goddess was so gentle and graceful in speaking, especially when cornering her towards the receiving end...
Megami used the opportunity to bring up topics related to He-Dao occasionally. As she would have expected, all He-Dao’s agents would become like little fans worshipping their Lord.
It was easy to tell the Agent of Heaven had a special relationship with their Lord. Regardless, she couldn’t help but tease this strict moderator. "You love your Lord a lot, yes? I won’t say anything about your situation, but you need to be more proactive, Yuna."
"Lo-love!? That, that’s too much. I’m just an agent, the servant... My lady, please don’t do this..." Yuna stuttered in surprise with a faint blush adorning her ethereal, beautiful face.
"Hmm~" Megami replied with a meaningful gaze. It was nice to see the solemn lady’s feeling shy like a little girl.
"Woah..." Mytic couldn’t help but be amazed. It was the first time she witnessed the Lord of Heaven’s confidante, who was famous for being fierce and strict look, like a shy little girl.
"Sigh..." Zi Xuan sighed sadly. The Zi Clan was indeed gone, and she was the only survivor.
The Heavenly Moon Palace was still prosperous and thriving as if the Heavenly Demon invasion in the past had never happened. What Goddess Ely hinted to her a few weeks ago was most likely true.
’So, my clan’s destruction was really planned by someone. With my identity as the youngest saintess, Heavenly Moon Palace should have dispatched their elites to rescue me. Yet, my parents chose to use the desperate measure. My downfall started when I was poisoned, but who wants to get rid of me? Whoever it is, I’ll make them pay for it!’ Zi Xuan wondered with a sharp gaze as if her stare would kill someone.
