Elysia asked her Goddess sisters to help refine the newly obtained star given by He-Dao so they could craft sothing with it. Unlike the Azure Supernova which was already half refined, and ready for crafting, this first-rate hypergiant white star was just a compressed star sealed in a spherical shell.
"Can we watch it, master? We promise not to disturb you during the process." Xentia raised her hand. Honestly, she was curious how the Goddesses could compress a massive star and refine it into a power source core of unasurable energy.
"Sure. You may watch from a safe distance." Elysia did not mind if anyone wanted to watch, but in the end, all the Elysium mbers went with her to the Nature Realm for it.
"Xuan’er, you should rest early. Please bring this along with you." Elysia put a turquoise necklace on Zi Xuan’s hand.
It was the core of the Nature Realm that should remain in the outside world. Since everyone wished to watch, then it should be guarded by trusted people.
"Xuan’er will guard it well, master." Zi Xuan nodded as she held the necklace close to her chest.
After Elysia brought everyone to the Nature Realm, Zi Xuan hid the necklace in her cleavage. After that, she went to her courtyard.

Night soon turned into dawn. Elysia received help from Elena, Ai, Zera, Lifa, Rhea, Gaia, Nell, Fortuna, Luna, Yuuki, Sylvia, and Vanessa.
Since they were refining a first-rate hypergiant star, they were extrely careful in each step.
The spherical white orb broke free from its shell and got refined as a super dense and dangerous raw material. One wrong step, and it would explode with a destructive force more powerful than a supernova.
"Phew... five hours, it took five whole hours even if we had more people to help." Fortuna wiped her sweat, feeling a bit tired.
"Glad to help. Even though all I did was provide additional energy to the barrier and stabilizer." Sylvia was proud even though she didn’t do much. Regardless, she finally entered the Goddess sisters’ circle, and that made her happy.
"You should na it, Ely." Elena brought the refined, stabilized compressed star closer to Elysia.
"Your na is Celestara Soluna. You will be the vessel to contain the most powerful soul in this world." Elysia rubbed the bright little star on her palm. However, her body suddenly beca smaller and her dress beca oversized. "Huh, why the sudden power-saving mode?"
"I’m sorry, master. You synced with my divinity and it will force you into power-saving mode if you use a lot of divine power at once." Rhea felt guilty, but her actions said otherwise. She picked up her master and put her master on her lap. "But, it’s alright. I’ll take good care of you."
"Hm, alright. I guess, I’m a seven-year-old little girl now?" Elysia checked her body. Her height shrank by half and beca no more than one ter tall. It wasn’t a baby this ti, but a loli.
"We’ll take turns looking after Ely then~ As for today’s event, let’s let Miko lead the team. She will go with her disciples, saintess friends, and so elders. What do you think?" Elena brought her face closer to Elysia’s, asking with a aningful smile.
"Let’s do as you said. It’s dawn already, and I’m sure everyone is tired. We should- fwaahh~" Elysia couldn’t finish her sentence because she yawned from the sudden drowsiness.
Despite being assisted by many sisters, she was still the one who exerted the most divine power during the refinent process.
Exerting too much divine power at once was not a good idea, but since the task was over, she could rest easy and let her Goddess sisters take good care of her.
Therefore, she curled up and took a comfortable position in Rhea’s arms. It was she who usually took good care of Rhea, but now, she was the one under Rhea’s care.
"Celestara Soluna... I wonder what this na ans." Vanessa took a closer look at the small bright white star with sparkling eyes.
Such a tiny thing actually possessed the energy to burn the world into dust.
"You could go blind if you keep looking at it. We reduced the light intensity, but it’s still like an incandescent lamp." Elena secured the Celestara Soluna and stored it in Elysia’s shared subspace.
"Celestara is taken from the word Celesta, the heavenly sky. It’s similar to Celestia." Gaia pointed at Zera, or more precisely, at the sword stored in Zera’s body.
"O-oh?" Zera tilted her head slightly.
"And Soluna... Sol is the sun, and Luna is the moon. So, its na ans the celestial moon-like sun." Gaia continued her explanation, nodding confidently because she knew Elysia’s naming sense ca from Earth’s knowledge.
"Oh my~" Luna felt the calling.
"It’s safe now, right? Can I lie on your lap too, Lady Rhea?" Yuuki transford into a little nine-tailed snow fox, sniffing around her master’s body.
"Help yourself." Rhea replied with a nod.
Seeing Yuuki curled up near Elysia on Rhea’s lap, Luna and Vanessa looked at each other. They nodded with a tacit understanding before joining in to snuggle with their master, sharing the warmth as little lovable floofs.
"They’re so shaless..." Sylvia clenched her fist. Those floofs were really cunning.
"If you want it, just go for it." Elena covered her mouth, coming up with an idea. Rhea should take care of the others as well because they wish to rest next to Elysia. When it was her turn to take care of Elysia, it could be just the two of them.
Hearing that, Sylvia crawled closer and asked for permission. Rhea couldn’t refuse and could only nod.
However, Rhea didn’t know that her agreent soon got her surrounded by the other family mbers. They simply lay around her to take a nap. The fluffy friends were in Elysia’s arms, but so of the other sisters used her legs as pillows...
"..." Rhea looked at Lifa and Nell, wondering what she should do. If everyone surrounded her like this, she would be in an awkward position and her legs would be numb for sure.
"I don’t know what to say. You’re bad, Elena." Lifa shook her head with an amused smile. She then went to help Rhea.
"Why is it ? I’m innocent." Elena rolled her eyes. She lay down on Ai’s lap pillow. "Ai, my good little sister."
"What do you want?" Ai raised her eyebrow.
"Nothing. I’m just here under your care. You couldn’t possibly push aside, would you?" Elena replied with a wink.
"Can I throw you instead?" Ai rolled her eyes.
"You wouldn’t have the heart for it. Ely would be angry if you were so heartless to your eldest sister." Elena closed her eyes.
"..." Ai remained silent. Although she had a slight disagreent with Elena, it wasn’t hostility.
She looked down, gazing upon Elena’s ethereal visage. She didn’t want to admit it, but Elena was arguably the most beautiful girl in the family, and also the most favored one by Elysia. Whatever she did, she could only be the second best to Elysia. But, she had to admit it because Elena was Elysia’s first, and also the one who always stayed by Elysia’s side, long before her.
"So, is it a family nap? Should we set up a folding bed here?" Evelyn scratched her head.
"Do you an futon? Yes, we should. We can skip the hero departure, but tomorrow is the purge. It’s a big event and we really need to rest for it." Erina had already set up her folding bed for a nap.
"The grass field is actually quite comfortable." Ella simply lay down as many of her fellow sisters lay down on the grass field, gazing at the dawn sky together.
At this mont, the girls soon drifted off to sleep. So of them truly rested, but so others cultivated in their sleep. The divine energy remnant in the air was still so rich, and with the presence of the gentle divine aura of the Goddesses, it beca the perfect place to cultivate.
"Wow~ It’s a girl-only slumber party." Celes held hands with her sister, flying over.
The star refinent process was over, and they ca to et their mother and the Elysium mbers, but what they found was a bit unexpected. Seeing that, they flew to their mother and joined in the slumber party, lying down on their mother’s lap pillow.
"Taking them in is a good choice. They crave their mum’s love." Elena rubbed Hea’s head, the youngest world tree sapling in their family.
"Mm..." Lifa just nodded in reply. She rubbed her two daughters’ heads gently.
They were still babies by the world tree’s standards, but in the past four years, they cultivated diligently and pushed things forward so they could manifest their spirit manifestation as little girls, not fluffy spirit balls anymore.
"Nee... I feel a bit concerned about Sakura. She is the world tree from the Divine World, the sapling that He-Dao gave to Miko. Is she one of us?" Nell raised a sensitive question, knowing it could raise misunderstandings, but she still had to ask for clarity.
"Sakura isn’t even six years old yet. She has a lot of room to grow, and she will protect the Sacred Shrine with Zi Xuan and Sacred Sakura’s disciples." Elena could only co up with a vague response.
"Hm, she belongs to this world. I wonder what her world tree mother looks like. I don’t think we’ve seen her in the Divine World yet." Nell lay prone on Lifa’s head.
"We haven’t seen her yet, but Miko planted Sakura from a twig, or maybe a graft? It wasn’t from a seedling like what Lifa did." Elena shrugged.
"We should greet Sakura’s mother soday." Lifa’s eyes glinted with a faint sense of curiosity.
While the Elysium mbers were resting, Miko had just gathered everyone who would go with her to the Chthonic World. But before that, she contacted He-Dao to send Rhykdohr, the Glorious God, to the mortal realm.
