Chapter 513: Fix the Faltering Faith
Chapter 513: Fix the Faltering Faith
The safety measure to prevent the accident at the God level triggered many mechanisms. Therefore, a slight vibration to the entire Cube Island could not be avoided. He-Dao also couldn’t help about it, and Elysia left it just like that.
As the night grew darker, Elysia advised her people to rest. Since they would leave Vrelenia tomorrow and go back to Quadtria, everyone complied with it. However, someone stayed awake because Elysia had yet to sleep.
A seductive vixen crawled into Elysia’s bed, under the blanket as if looking for warmth.
"Are you having a nightmare?" Elysia put her hand on Luna’s cheek. It was a long day, and most of them had yet to receive proper rest, including her. When she was about to rest, she strangely just couldn’t sleep.
"Fufu~ this elder sister was just looking for warmth and found my beloved master is unable to sleep." Luna chuckled softly and rested her body beside Elysia.
It was rare to find Elysia accompanied by just one person. Elena and Ai were nowhere to be seen, and she could take advantage of this situation to cuddle with her master.
"???" Rhea got woken up because of a sudden intruder, but she spoke nothing and kept her eyes closed.
"Hmm~ so, my elder sister, hmm..." Elysia smiled in amusement as she recalled Luna was usually fond of role-playing as well.
"Is something bothering you, master?" Luna noticed something and asked with a concerned gaze.
"..." Elysia asked herself that question. She might be afraid to sleep for fear of her consciousness entering that dream space again, encountering the Unknown Nightmare. Or she probably only had many other things that filled her mind.
About five months later, she had to help He-Dao regarding the Nirvana Abyssal Demon, and she had to deal with her appointment with Sera, the Seraph of the End, as well.
Despite all the preparations she would make starting from tomorrow for those events, she would leave her disciples at Sacred Sakura for who knows how long. It might take a week, a month, a year, or maybe more than that.
She had to leave something to her disciples so they could take care of the Sacred Sakura’s affairs during her absence. After all, Sacred Sakura would be vulnerable without powerful powerhouses’ protection.
And then, it was about Linda. If it took several years, she couldn’t imagine Linda’s side of the story, and it caused her to worry. The one who protected Linda was Cube Island’s AI, and Linda could only contact Mr. Cube disguised as Young Master El.
Not to mention, the Heavenly Demon’s seeds in Quadtria, and the Ruvoid’s evil seed remnants which began to emerge to the surface in Vrelenia, then the Earth’s apocalypse. So many things were bothering her mind just when she was about to sleep.
"Mhmm~" Luna could guess something unspoken. She just smiled and gently hugged Elysia’s head in her arms. "Just rest your mind, master. Don’t think about everything. Let the things unfold as we can only take care of the things in front of us, the ones within our reach."
Elysia looked up to stare deeply into Luna’s mesmerizing blue eyes. She could see compassion and love radiating from that gaze. "You’re right... Thank you, Luna."
After saying that, Elysia wrapped her left arm around Luna’s waist and buried her face in Luna’s plump breasts. Her right hand was intertwined with Rhea’s, so she couldn’t hug her fox mommy.
"Anything for you." Luna spoke in a whisper-like voice, close to Elysia’s ear.
"Mhm, those people still bothering you, right? They secretly released some blood-sucking insects to draw your blood essence." Elysia recalled about it, and Luna had just been bullied by those old soul foxes.
"The old inferior soul foxes from the branch families... They’re scheming something, but I don’t care about them as I and Lynn already sever our ties with them. I won’t protect them forever because I have nothing left here. They’d better stay humble." Luna looked aside and heaved a subtle sigh.
"You’ve done a lot for the Soul Fox Clan. As the only pure blood, you and Lynn are too precious to them. I feel like a villain for snatching you and making the soul fox’s pure blood extinct from this world." Elysia felt bad, but it was amusing when she thought about it.
"Nah, don’t care about them. They are weak but dare to use us as their subjects. They should know their place. If they weren’t soul foxes, I’d probably kill them. We’ve been through a lot, and now it’s time for me to pursue my happiness and embark on a joyful journey." Luna made a small distance and hugged Elysia’s arm, smiling mischievously.
"Isn’t that about cultivating diligently to pursue immortality? We formed the bond during, ehm, excuse me... you naughty fox. This isn’t winter..." Elysia felt a bit surprised because Luna became so clingy all of a sudden.
Usually, it was only in winter that her fluffy sisters would cuddle with her, and became so clingy, and a bit naughty. They craved to be cherished, loved and caressed just like good, happy pets.
Since Luna demanded it, Elysia played with Luna’s game until she became sleepy. She finally sleeps in peace with a happy fox by her side. Thanks to Luna, the things that were bothering her mind were pushed aside, and she could finally rest well.
"..." Rhea grumbled in her mind. It became her who was unable to sleep now. Therefore, she chose to cultivate overnight with the energy flows in Elysia’s body as a helper.

By the time the ray of sun was visible on the horizon, Elysia bid her farewell to all the Emperors. The World Alliance’s elites would stay on Cube Island for another two days.
The trainees could only stay for three days, and they had to wait for six months before their next visit. Therefore, they had to maximize the gain from these opportunities.
"The Sea God started his journey last night with the Trade God. The Sky God and Ice God are still sleeping in their respective room, and the students in the Sky Library are waiting for them." Lifa pointed to the floating island in the distance.
"Well, we can send them a farewell message. We’re leaving for Quadtria in the afternoon." Elysia nodded in understanding.
She took a step forward and held Lucia’s hand, the blessed holy maiden chosen by her to lead the Temple of Magic and Sacred Church worldwide. "We’ll entrust this world’s affairs to you. Your faith and prayer will reach us, regardless of our distance."
"It’s my utmost honor to serve you, Your Divine Grace." Lucia bowed with grace and reverence.
"It’s about time, huh... Please rest assured, Almighty Goddesses. We shall protect Vrelenia in your stead." Alexander knelt down, followed by the other Emperors and Saints.
They received the notification regarding the Elysium Group’s departure to the otherworld, and nobody would miss the chance to send the world saviors off respectfully. Nobody could make the Goddesses stay because this world wasn’t the only one that needed to be saved, therefore, they could only do their best to carry out the tasks bestowed upon them.
"Yeah, you’d better do it properly this time. Beware of the evil seeds and destroy them even if they aren’t a threat yet. We’ve developed a new artifact to detect the corrupted energy and evil cause. Please make a good use of it." Lifa distributed the compass-like artifact to all the Emperors.
"If we find another big problem, you will be done for. So, please cultivate diligently and be wary of the evil causes even though it is only a possibility." Rhea raised her index finger to emphasize her point, lecturing the Emperors.
"Don’t just think about the personal benefits. Also, you should develop a city-class spacecraft that can support many people in outer space. Either to mine the stardust or save your lives in case the great apocalypse occurs who knows when. Better save than sorry." Nell gave a piece of advice as she couldn’t help but worry.
The Goddesses’ words meant a lot to the world, and everyone treated it like a divine revelation. The Emperors received goodwill and would never betray the Goddesses’ trust and expectations.
After the final farewell, Elysia opened the Nature Realm’s portal. Her disciples and family members, including her Goddess sisters, would stay inside for a while as she wished to meet her elemental knights in the Human Continent’s eastern region first.
Elysia brought He-Dao, Yuna, and Amy to her destination with a poof, leaving the Emperors and Saints behind.
Because of the time difference, it was already close to 10 o’clock in the fortress city near the easternmost region of the Nachezan Kingdom.
Rosa and Rosie joined the team, escorted by Xentia. Since the task could be considered over, Xentia’s army and ES Nirvana also returned to the Nature Realm.
"The elemental knight ranger... will my brother be part of this team after his power awakens?" Rosie covered her mouth in shock, but she soon regained her composure. "Then, shall we pay them a visit?"
"Yes, we will do that. But, Rosie... I also have something for you." Elysia pressed her finger to Rosie’s forehead, bestowing a gift directly to Rosie’s mind.
"Wha-" Rosie gasped in surprise, but she still had no idea what had just happened.
"It’s a gift, the dormant power that will awaken soon. You need good faith and noble purpose to become a knight of justice. Fran’s power may be similar. You may discover it more by yourself, and serve the Temple of Magic." Elysia smiled gently.
"My faith never fails. This knight shall serve the path of truth and bring glory under your name." Rosie knelt down and replied with a knight salute. She received Elysia’s blessing, and she would use it for a noble cause.
After all, she already became part of the Temple of Magic, worshiping the Goddess of Magic. But, reviewing Elysia’s words just now, so her brother would work alongside her in the Temple of Magic’s knight order.
"Erm, me, what about me?" Rosa pointed at her face. She was brought along to the battlefield and witnessed the world boss raid to take down the Polluted Sea God in ES Nirvana.
The war was epic. She also got the opportunity to visit Cube Island even though she hasn’t reached Spirit level yet. Considering her chemistry with Elysia, she might receive Elysia’s favor as well, just like Rosie.
"You need to join our temples and churches first. Show your sincerity and unfaltering faith. Whether it’s me or my Goddess sisters, we share the links as one. Your name is far down the list. We can’t bestow you with a blessing yet." Elysia checked her Godly System, and Rosa’s faith was above 90%, but it was still faltering, going up and down occasionally.
"I’ll join right away and show how good my faith is!" Rosa pumped her fists up and down. She saluted and bid her farewell, looking for the nearby church or temple in that fortress city as she had to show her worth.
"Rosie, please keep an eye on her for now and give her this. The elemental knights are currently on the battlefront, meet us here soon." Elysia pointed to the excited Rosa and handed over a necklace to Rosie.
"Understood." Rosie saluted and ran to catch up to Rosa.
"Phew..." Elysia took a deep breath and turned around. She leaped to the tall city gate to observe the battle aftermath.
