“Ah...”
Seeing the gray mist completely dissipate, and no changes occurring in Violet’s hands, even though not entirely sure what she was trying to achieve, the dragon lady understood that her master’s experint had likely failed.
Leila and Rene also looked at the girl in the white robe with concern, seemingly afraid that this failure might affect Violet’s mood.
However, to the surprise of the three, instead of feeling discouraged, the priestess smiled as if she had gained a lot.
“Why are you all looking at like that? It’s okay, I’m not so fragile glass heart. When you experint, you should be prepared for failure. Besides, this ti, the overall result is actually quite good.”
To be honest, Violet didn’t expect to easily control the power left by a deity with just a casual attempt. If successful, it would be great, but if not, it wouldn’t matter.
Her real goal was to use this experint to study the essence of “laws” and explore the application thods of SP.
Understanding the truth of the authority of the Goddess of Earth Seth over creation and withering in just one attempt was already a significant leap forward and a pleasant surprise.
Being able to easily achieve this probably stemd from her exceptionally strong soul power, which might be the power source for driving [laws].
Since Violet expressed it this way, not appearing to be pretending to be strong, the three girls who were concerned about her gradually relaxed.
“Alright, as an experint to change the mood, this is about it. Let’s go back... Huh?”
Before she could finish speaking, the priestess suddenly raised her eyebrows, and Xiao Guang, as if sensing sothing, almost simultaneously turned her gaze towards a certain direction in the south, moving her cute little nose.
While Leila and Rene had relatively weaker abilities, and their perception was far from Violet’s servant, seeing the peculiar expressions of the two, they imdiately understood that sothing might be happening.
“What’s wrong, Lady Violet?”
“Not quite clear yet, but sothing seems off. Xiao Guang, did you sll anything?”
As a warrior of the pure-blooded dragon race and a warrior class, Xiao Guang’s perception abilities were far superior to Violet. She had multiple sensing passives relying on dragon eyes or sll.
The reason Violet and her pet could perceive sothing unusual simultaneously this ti was due to her spontaneous idea right after finishing the SP application experint.
Soul Power is a much more comprehensive and multi-dinsional ans of intelligence perception compared to simple vision or hearing.
Following the way she had contact with those [Calamity] or [Withering] elents, she tried to spread her imnse soul power outwards from herself, forming a special probing network similar to a radar.
Through this thod, Violet realized that, with focused attention, she could clearly hear the conversations of the farrs at the foot of the distant mountains and easily extend her visual range beyond a radius of ten kiloters.
It was because of this experintation that Violet vaguely sensed sothing further away, seemingly near the village along the mission path before the envoy’s group, with a strange feedback clearly not belonging to normal creatures.
“I’m not sure either, but there’s an annoying sll in the air, like soone stuffed a slly onion into a plate of at... It feels out of place.”
Describing it with a taphor that suited her style, Xiao Guang continued, “I an, it feels out of place in this world.”
“Out of place, huh...”
Violet pondered, supporting her chin.
The feedback from soul power gave a similar feeling. Xiao Guang’s taphor was reasonable, but if the priestess were to describe it, it felt more like a red mark abruptly appearing on a white wall... or sothing of that sort.
Leaving aside what that might be, this thod of exploration using soul power is indeed very useful. Unfortunately, even for Violet, it’s not possible to maintain this wide-ranging surveillance constantly.
It’s not because SP is insufficient or consus too much, the main issue is that it’s too conspicuous—way too conspicuous.
Being stared at is sothing one can feel, especially when the entity casting the gaze is far superior in status to you.
Even ordinary people, as the priestess noticed, exhibited expressions of panic and fear simultaneously when her soul power swept over them. So with weaker minds or devout believers even imdiately knelt down and began to worship.
This was still on the outskirts of a sparsely populated village. If it were in a larger place, once this soul power dispersed, the entire city might be alard and chaos could ensue.
There should be more discreet techniques for using this ability. She could study them slowly later, or consult with experts who understand such thods.
To be honest, Violet was sowhat concerned about things that could cause the world itself to reject them.
In fact, she had so speculations.
Demons from another world were said to cause rejection by the world itself when they descended or resided in this world. So, they couldn’t easily co here, and even if they did, it would be difficult for them to exert their full power. The stronger the demon, the higher the level of rejection.
So, even so exceptionally powerful demons, despite offering a large number of sacrifices, could only extend parts of their bodies—like hands or feet—into this world. In so extre cases, they couldn’t enter at all.
Could what Xiao Guang sensed be a demon?
But who would summon a demon here?
“Let’s go, let’s go see what’s going on.”
“Yes, Master / Lady Violet.”
Including Leira and Rene, all four won had wings, making their movent quite convenient. This was also the main reason Violet decided not to bring Edwina along—she usually had to run slowly on two legs.
Three pairs of white feathers and a pair of dragon wings unfolded simultaneously, and the four figures soared into the sky, quickly disappearing into the air.

Theresa was an ordinary village girl in the southern region of the Nobos Iron-Blood Empire, White City 27th Village.
The thod of naming villages in this way seed to be adopted by the Nobos Iron-Blood Empire from another powerful entity in the east, the Austre Empire, and learned through emulation.
The principle was to use the largest and most important main city in a certain area as a prefix, sorting all the ssy small villages and towns in the surrounding area by numbers and planning them all as City XX, Village/Town XX.
For example, in Theresa’s case, it was White City 1th Village, White City 2th Village, White City 3th Village, and so on.
This policy, supposedly called “semi-militarization,” made it easy for the big shots above to coordinate and manage. It had been in use since the emperor who ascended to the throne over a hundred years ago, according to the lore.
Theresa grew up in White City’s 27th village. Although so of the elderly in the village, with longer lifespans, occasionally uttered another na for the village, supposedly in rembrance of sothing... However, for Theresa, who is not yet 20, there is almost no feeling attached to these words.
In her view, the village is simply the 27th village—simple and convenient. Those traders or young people who occasionally co from other villages also refer to their villages by a similar numbering system. Who would bother recognizing those outdated nas abandoned by ti?
By the way, Theresa has a mixed bloodline. She possesses three-quarters human lineage and one-quarter tree spirit bloodline, a lineage she reportedly inherited from her mother, who is said to have half tree spirit ancestry.
As for who her grandparents are, whether they are still alive or not, Theresa is completely unaware.
