My Goddess is Good at Pretending

Chapter 525: Became the Divine Teacher

Zera nodded in gratitude to Elysia as she had no good words to express it. That mysterious purple fragment brought trouble upon her, and fortunately, her master could resolve it. Even though the Sacred Sakura’s people still treated her as a new person, it didn’t matter because the Elysium Group members were the only ones who mattered.

"We’ll investigate it further tomorrow. It might be the chaos fragment. Let’s not keep the Divine World waiting." Elysia said. Her voice was strong and filled with resolve.

As she joined the circle, her companions greeted her warmly. Their faces reflected the same mix of excitement and resolve that she felt. Since Zera’s matter was resolved, the air buzzed with anticipation again as they took their places, forming a perfect circle on the Heavenly Altar.

Just like the usual arrangements, only those at 10th Rank or above could go to the Divine World as the main group. As for the 9th Rank or below, they could still follow, but they had to stay in the Nature Realm temporarily, at least until Elysia’s task in the Heavenly Palace was over.

As for today’s weekly event, the core disciples and some Elysium Family members would stay behind on the Sacred Mountain because they had already received their share of the first-hand experience of visiting and cultivating in the Divine World.

Ella, Ariel, Evelyn, Dory, and Lyla would stay at the Sacred Mountain as they still had some unfinished matters that required more attention. Morfina and Yae supposedly would stay at Sacred Mountain as well because of their ongoing tasks, but Elysia specifically asked them to go with her as they had a must-attend business in the Divine World.

"Uhm..." Zi Xuan held her arm, feeling a bit nervous as she would serve as Elysia’s secretary again. She checked Elysia’s schedules once again then raised her hand in farewell to the Sacred Sakura Tree’s spirit, Sakura.

Elysia stood at the center of the altar. She raised her hands, and the glowing symbols intensified, casting a radiant light that enveloped the group. "Please look after our holy land in our absence."

"Please rest assured, master." Jophiel waved her hand high.

"We have also sent several spies to monitor the dungeon where Lady Zera found the mysterious purple fragment."

"We’ll wait for your return~"

After receiving their positive responses, Elysia returned to the teleportation array activation. Her voice resonated with power. "Prepare yourselves. We depart for the Divine World."

With a final nod from her friends, sisters, and companions, Elysia closed her eyes, taking a deep breath. The light from the altar surged, lifting them into the sky. The world around them shimmered and blurred as the teleportation array activated, transporting them to their divine destination.

As the light intensified, everyone felt a surge of excitement. They knew their journey would be filled with challenges, but surrounded by good sisters and loyal companions, fueled by the love of Goddesses, everyone was ready to face whatever the future had in store.

*Zap*

The journey to the Heavenly Palace, Divine World, only required a few seconds.

The first sight that greeted Elysia’s group was the rows of servants, each of them was a high-ranked, rare beauty specially selected to attend and serve Elysia and her people. They greeted Elysia’s group with utmost respect and awe.

Elysia checked her timer, and it was still at least an hour until her class would start. Since she got hired as a teacher, He-Dao assigned twenty 14th Rank heavenly servants as her personal maids to serve her and carry out all of her orders unconditionally.

"What about the preparations?" Elysia asked even though she already knew the answer.

"All preparations have been prepared according to your instructions, my lady. As for the item, it’s still in Lady Katie’s hand. She shall hand it over to you personally." The chief servant stepped forward, reporting the completion of the task.

Elysia nodded in reply, understanding the capabilities and effectiveness of these reliable ladies.

"Thank you for your hard work." Elysia glanced right and left. She found no other Gods or Immortals in the Heavenly Altar Chamber, just like the usual. It would be a bit awkward if those busy people had to welcome her grandly every week.

"We’re honored to serve you, my lady. All participants have arrived at the palace, and half are already waiting at the training ground. Would you like to notify them?" The chief servant asked politely.

"No. Proceed as scheduled. We’ve something to discuss with the Heavenly Agents. Please lead the way." Elysia shook her head slightly.

"Alright. Then, please follow us." The chief servant bowed respectfully, followed by the other servants. They then turned around, forming a formation to escort Elysia and the Elysium Family to the desired destination.

A golden magic circle emerged beneath everyone’s feet. It floated off the floor and then took everyone away from the room.

’Woah... I still feel a bit nervous about this. They are servants, but each of them possesses a divine power higher than mine.’ Fortuna muttered via Elysium Channel.

’He-Dao specially assigned them as Ely’s handmaidens. They are twenty 14th Rank Heavenly Immortals.’ Gaia agreed with that. If she had to compare it, her rank was only slightly higher than these servants.

’...’ Lifa felt it was hard to admit, but she knew it as well. The highest rank in the Elysium Family was still at 14th Rank. Elysia’s case was super special because Elysia’s imaginary divinity was close to reaching the creation divinity.

So, it didn’t even matter much whether Elysia was still at 11th Rank or already at the pinnacle of 20th Rank. Everyone, even He-Dao, respected Elysia very much. Moreover, Elysia was so kind, lovely, wise, and understanding, unlike those arrogant immortal pricks. Therefore, everyone, even the fish and butterflies in the Heavenly Palace, respected Elysia no less than the Lord of Heaven.

"Hm?" Elena noticed that Ai and Zera immediately slipped into Elysia’s shadow. However, what caught her attention next took her by surprise.

She spotted a familiar mortal fish that Elysia used as a test subject for the Heavenly Altar’s first activation teleportation array to the Divine World last month. That fish somehow grew some muscles and looked like a funny fish among the crowd. Despite still being a mortal fish among immortal beasts, it swam happily in the pond by the garden, getting along well with some immortal fish.

Elena covered her mouth as the sight was amusing. She also tugged the hem of Elysia’s sleeve and pointed toward the pond, or more precisely, at the only mortal fish in the pond.

"?" Elysia looked in the pointed direction out of curiosity. As the only mortal fish in the immortal pond filled with many immortal beasts, that fish did look a bit out of place.

However, it reminded her about the fish they sent to the Divine World last month for safety testing.

The fish leaped out of the pond to wave its fins as the Goddesses gave their attention to itself. It soon fell back into the pond.

"..." Rhea felt a bit complicated as she could tell what the fish said. It simply greeted them, but she knew it previously was willing to die as food and was also willing to become a test subject for the Divine World.

Such a selfless sacrifice, deserving praise. But, it was still a little fish, the former reserved food close to the bottom of the food chain. At this moment, she had to temporarily deactivate her nature divinity so she didn’t wish to automatically understand what the animals and plants were saying.

"Fufu, it greeted us. Looks like the Lord of Heaven treated it well. He lives in heaven now." Elysia covered her mouth in amusement.

As they passed the outdoor corridor, they had to pass several paths until finally arrived at the designated place where the Heavenly Agents gathered.

"It’s almost the time for our practical class. Our teacher will arrive soon, uh-" One of the Heavenly Agents was about to open the door, but it opened from the outside.

The chief servant greeted Elysia with a respectful bow, and stepped aside, inviting Elysia to enter.

"My, my lady? Do you have any instructions for us?" Amy rushed to welcome Elysia and the Elysium Family. Elysia specifically visited the Heavenly Agents before class started, and it might be something crucial.

"Hi~ Don’t be too tense in front of me. I don’t bite~" Elysia threw a little joke to the nervous agents. She then observed everyone.

The total number of Heavenly Agents was 81, but someone was missing. Yuna was absent, and it seemed that, as He-Dao’s right-hand confidante, Yuna was on He-Dao’s side.

Regardless, Elysia faintly smiled and stated her personal request. She appointed several divinities to help her out after the class later, and they surprisingly agreed right away even though they didn’t know the details yet.

It was like an unconditional faith similar to her people, but she was taken aback because she had yet to do anything to receive their trust.

"Thank you. We will share the details after the class is over. Shall we head out to the training ground now?" Elysia appreciated the goodwill. She extended her hand and invited everyone to go together.

"Sure~" Amy beckoned everyone to follow Elysia’s lead.

"Uhm, why does Teacher Ely only need twelve Heavenly Agents? If she really needs us, she only needs to say it, and we will all gladly help her out with whatever she wants to do."

"Are you saying we will dispatch all the Heavenly Agents? Lady Ely only needs twelve for some reason."

"Yeah, but... Lady Yuna wasn’t even mentioned."

"Err... will Lady Yuna be alright when she finds out about this?"

"We’d better keep quiet for now."

"I agree."

Several agents whispered to each other. They agreed to refer to the White Agent as Yuna and the Dark Agent as Amy because the nicknames were given by the Supreme Goddess. However, Amy got the special invitation alongside eleven other agents, and Yuna was excluded.
