My Goddess is Good at Pretending

Chapter 518: Punish One, Teach a Hundred

Several days have passed since Elysia and her group returned to Sacred Sakura Holy Land. He-Dao and his group returned to the Divine World. Still, the Heavenly Agents occasionally visited the Sacred Sakura in the mortal world.

As for the promised lesson in preparation against the Nirvana Abyssal Demon, Elysia would ascend to the Divine World and open her class at the Heavenly Palace every weekend.

"..." Elysia opened the report from Miko regarding the situation occurring in the outside world.

Due to the intense hunt for the Heavenly Demon’s seeds, the great evils and their followers were extremely frightened. Whether in the Divine World or the three mortal worlds, they ceased their activities and hid away from anyone’s prying eyes.

"They are now hiding like rats. It’s not easy to find them, but it will be different if you personally intervene, master. What should we do now?" Sylvia hugged Elysia’s arm and peeked the report from the side.

"We don’t need to do anything about it. The intense hunt ended yesterday." Elysia put down the report, but Sylvia suddenly lay down, treating her lap as a pillow.

Elysia smiled faintly and gently stroked Sylvia’s long silver-white hair, occasionally touching Sylvia’s devil horns and pointy ears.

"..." Sylvia smiled in comfort and looked up. She then spoke her mind out. "Ely, I eradicated an evil demonic cult yesterday. I even killed the newborn Heavenly Demon, and spared no one alive."

"Not all demonic paths are evil, but the Heavenly Demon’s followers always cross the bottom line. Let me ask you, Sylvi. What would happen if the Heavenly Demons reached adulthood and their followers gained power?" Elysia looked at Sylvia’s demonic crimson eyes with a profound gaze.

"They will wreak havoc everywhere, slaughter the innocent, and ruin the world. But, still... why do I feel a bit uneasy? Did I miss something crucial?" Sylvia put her hand to her chest.

"The essence of the hunt in this entire month is to inflict great fear on the evil creatures throughout the world. They have to think more than twice before carrying out their evil plans, knowing the world has become their enemy. They will be hunted down actively even by countless Immortals once their whereabouts are known." Elysia closed her eyes.

In the past month, the Righteous Alliance hunted down the Heavenly Demon’s followers, even the Heavenly Palace also carried out a similar operation in the Divine World. It was no longer a passive and old-fashioned method, but a fast mission under efficient and active operation.

It might look like cruelty. In the clean-up operation, countless experts made their move across the world, sparing no evil thing behind. Broadly speaking, a one-sided massacre occurred within that month, and Sacred Sakura was also actively involved in the last two weeks.

However, it somehow became like a villain who bullied the weak. After all, the helpless Heavenly Demon’s followers could do nothing about it when the enemies became so massive. However, the active mission ended yesterday because the goal had been achieved.

"I see... it’s like punishing several people to warn the others. Now, they can only hide and disguise themselves, haunted by fear." Sylvia felt somewhat enlightened. She initially felt uneasy because she felt like she was missing something, but slaughtering the weak also felt unpleasant.

"Yup. The world will be peaceful for now..." Elysia mumbled, a bit lost in thought.

[Nirvana Realm’s outbreak: 151 days remaining]

The appointed day was approaching, and everyone gradually prepared themselves to face the inevitable.

Elysia recalled her promise to Lady Nirvana’s soul remnant, and she had to be well-prepared to advance the outbreak three days earlier than the appointed time because she wished to extract this key figure to prevent Lady Nirvana met true death. Whatever would happen later, the fallen supreme ruler of the Nirvana Realm had to witness the ending.

Elysia heaved a subtle sigh and shook her head. She then tenderly pinched Sylvia’s cheek.

"Wha ah you doinh?" Sylvia held Elysia’s hand. It didn’t hurt, but she wondered why.

"You were being cute. That’s all. Shall we take a stroll to see what are our sisters doing? I also remember we have some reincarnated heroes, the child of destiny." Elysia checked her wristwatch.

She had a few hours before she had to ascend as a teacher in the Heavenly Palace, Divine World. In the meantime, she might as well check her people and some important variables in her vicinity.

"No, I whant. Ah men, yesh! Lez go!" Sylvia put any thoughts aside and left with Elysia.

Even though she suspected that a particular great evil’s seed might escape her purge mission yesterday, she would never fear revenge from the great evil, considering that she also has many powerful backers.

"Zi Xuan greets Sacred Sakura Goddess." Zi Xuan paid her respect when Elysia came out of the abode.

"Mm." Elysia nodded in reply. At that time, she could see her Goddess sisters and some of the core disciples were quite busy sorting the stuff and gifts from the Divine World.

"Heya~ Where are we going today?" Elena put the other matters aside, handed the rest to the others, and went to Elysia’s side.

"Sylvi and I are going to take a stroll for a moment. Do you want to come with us?" Elysia stretched out her hand.

"Wonderful~" Elena put her hand on Elysia’s palm.

They bid their farewell to the everyone in vicinity and left the shrine in incognito.

"Phew... they left just like that. Also, why do those Immortals send their packages before the weekly class? Isn’t it usually after the lesson?" Nell wiped her nonexistent sweat.

"Did you forget, little sister? This is the extras, mostly the resources for Sacred Sakura." Rhea couldn’t help but smile in amusement.

"They’re so generous, huh. I’m not complaining." Fortuna used her time effectively. Her task was currently sorting the treasure, and she was happy to do it. If she found something nice, she only needed to ask Elysia for it later.

"But, why did Ely specifically ask for a lot of divine papers? Elena brought almost all of them." Gaia opened the box, and only a few pieces of paper were left.

"Oh, that... Ely is refining her painting manifestation technique. She wants to draw a lot of divine traps, heavenly tribulation, and celestial manifestation. Consider it as the advanced version of the seal talisman and the spell card." Lifa tapped her chin as she remembered that.

"Hehee~ So many treasures." Jophiel gladly helped out. She moved the boxes into the warehouse like a happy butterfly. Sakura was super busy in the warehouse to list all the items.

"Elders, may I inquire about Elder Ai and Elder Zera? They haven’t returned yet, right? It’s been four days..." Gabriella raised her hand for attention.

"Hmm... They haven’t returned to Ely’s shadow yet, so they’re still on a mission. You don’t need to worry, Gab-chan. They’ll be back today." Rhea checked her crest artifact. The life signal of all Elysium members was still on, so no accident occurred.

Gabriella felt relieved and returned to her current task.

On the cool spring morning, the air was crisp and fresh, filled with the delicate fragrance of blooming flowers. Three revered ladies, each radiant in their own divine beauty, took a leisurely stroll through the verdant landscape, eager to witness the world’s splendor.

Elysia walked with serene grace, her pearl-like gown shimmering with the purity of luminance. Beside her, Elena was clad in a gown of pure white adorned with gold that seemed to glow with an inner radiance, her golden hair cascading like sunlight. Sylvia moved with a fluid elegance, her sapphire robes rippling like the surface of a tranquil lake.

As they walked, they marveled at the vibrant tapestry of life around them. Birds sang sweet melodies from the treetops, and butterflies danced through the air, their wings reflecting the morning light.

Elysia smiled as she touched a blossoming flower, its petals unfurling in response to her gentle caress. Elena raised her arms, and beams of sunlight broke through the canopy, casting a warm, golden glow over the landscape. Sylvia knelt by a clear stream, her touch causing the water to sparkle.

As they continued their stroll, they felt a deep sense of fulfillment and joy, knowing that their work had brought such beauty and peace to the world. Thanks to everyone’s hard work, the Sacred Mountain became the authentic holy land not only because of its profound spiritual energy but also in the sense of aura and appearance. It wasn’t just a mountain with a sacred shrine at the mountain’s peak.

"Hm?" Elysia spotted Zhuan Mei in the distance.

That girl held the other identity as the daughter of heaven, also known as the child of destiny. Zhuan Mei joined Sacred Sakura as an outer disciple, similar to Bai Yuchen. Their fate value was relatively high, and they were obviously the reincarnated Immortals. He-Dao also recognized them, but he remained silent about them.

’Do you still remember about Chen Fan and Yang Jian? They’re on our watch list too.’ Elena showed the list and pointed out the mentioned names.

’Ah, those young heroes...’ Elysia barely remembered them, but she soon recalled about it.

’I remember them! The two aren’t that bad, and they went as rogue cultivators. The former is the Immortal Sage Wizard, and the latter is the son of heaven with a thick face and plot armor. I don’t know why this Yang Jian is still alive even with such arrogance and shitty personality. He also openly pursues and stalks Miko almost everywhere.’ Sylvia tapped her chin as she remembered the said person.

’Hm, then they can seek their own providence and fortuitous encounters on their adventures. As long as they don’t cross the line... My only concern is the two rebellious Immortals who descended to the mortal worlds. Amy and Yuna already warned them, but they just seemed to disappear. They haven’t returned to the Divine World, right?’ Elysia crossed her arms as she couldn’t help but feel disturbed by it.

’Should we look for them? They haven’t returned to the Divine World yet. He-Dao has already patched the rifts and the only path to the Divine World is on our turf.’ Elena proposed an idea, and Elysia agreed with it.

They would look for the missing Immortals tomorrow, and for now, they would visit the reincarnation of the God of Painting.
