Nightfall.
Having concluded the welco reception, Violet sat alone by the window in the room arranged by the Moon Shadow clan, gazing at the plaza and temple in the distant Moon Shadow Valley shrouded in darkness, contemplating and organizing the wealth of information gathered throughout the day.
In the secret chamber in the afternoon, Vanessa and Minchen revealed a plethora of secrets to her.
The reasons behind it were twofold: gratitude from Vanessa for helping to recover the long-missing Novia, and their agreent with Tiyelu. On the other hand, they probably also wanted to recruit the priestess, rumored to be a strong powerhouse, to their side.
Yes, recruit to their side.
The disappearance of Novia was far from being as simple as it seed on the surface.
Although the imdiate external threats to the Ten Thousand Demons Mountains had been temporarily resolved, the hidden internal concerns still lingered like a thorn in the side, requiring constant vigilance.
While the three major pillars were the leaders of the demons, it did not an they were absolute strongest.
Figures like Tiyelu and Minchen, who operated deeper, were the true protectors of the Ten Thousand Demons Mountains. And the enemies they needed to face were far more than just the minor disturbances in the Demon Suppression City.
Although the crisis had not yet surfaced, these sharp and experienced powerhouses had already begun preparations. Tiyelu sending out incarnations to the outside world and Minchen temporarily closing the gates to et Violet were all for similar reasons.
It’s better to be safe than sorry. That’s the idea.
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...!”
“Uh, it’s starting again.”
It was raining.
Suddenly, the raindrops, strong and forceful, continuously battered against the wide-open windows of the stone house, pelting towards the priestess seated by the window like a barrage of intense artillery fire.
However, they were naturally blocked by the invisible protection that manifested around Violet’s body, sliding down the mountain wall.
The downpour poured, and the curtains quickly obscured the entire Moon Shadow Valley under the cover of night. The werewolves had excellent night vision, so there was no need for them to light lamps at night.
Thus, on this night when March was veiled by dark clouds, it was pitch-black, with only the curtain of rain and the looming shadow of the temple visible.
A crisp and damp air enveloped them, adding a chill to the deep autumn night.
“Hum~ Hum~”
Violet raised her hand, intending to do sothing, but her attention was drawn to a sudden slight vibration and ntal fluctuation.
Raising an eyebrow in surprise, the black-haired girl reached into the void and quickly pulled out an exquisite statue, jade-green all over with wings on its back.
Without doing anything else, she simply held the statue in her hand, infused a bit of SP, and smiled lightly.
“Huh huh huh? What’s the occasion today? The illustrious Goddess of Life actually has ti to visit ?”
“Hehe, it’s been a month since we last t. Violet, you’re still as lively as ever. How have you been lately?”
A greenish-blue light surged out from the statue, forming a miniature figure only three inches tall above it. Though small, it appeared clear and solid.
If it weren’t for seeing it forming with her own eyes and floating in the air, others might have thought it was so kind of special magical creature.
“Wow, Sethlin, aren’t you just asking a rhetorical question? Clearly, there’s a trace of divine consciousness extending from Theresa, which is linked to the Goddess of Life. She’s so closely connected to divine power, I refuse to believe that you, as a deity, would be unaware of the events happening on this side of the road. Let’s not play those superficial gas between us, shall we?”
With the help of an item as a dium, the Goddess smiled slightly as her image appeared remotely through divine consciousness, not denying it either.
“I can’t hide anything from you at all. But doing this is just a precaution. After all, that child is doing things for . If she really encounters any life-threatening danger, at least this can save her life. It’s not ant to pry intentionally. I hope you understand.”
“I know, I know. Geez, why are you always so serious? No wonder you’re a genuine Goddess...”
The fact that Sethlin left divine consciousness on Theresa was naturally noticed by the priestess from their daily interactions.
In fact, it seed that the Goddess of Life didn’t intend to conceal it deliberately. Otherwise, based solely on their attainnts at the soul level, Violet might not have been able to easily detect it.
After all, Sethlin was a true deity who had survived for tens of thousands of years.
Although there was so difference between Sethlin’s current state after the separation of divine attributes and the peak state of the Goddess of Earth, a “One of the Main Gods of Order” level existence, through the reorganization of divine status, Sethlin was definitely stronger than the incomplete and Goddess of Withering back then. Even if the Little Dragon Girl faced Sethlin, it might not be that easy for her to claim victory.
After all, Sethlin now possessed the terrifying power of a true divine kingdom. Violet deeply felt the power of such strength, which couldn’t be summarized solely by differences in levels and attributes.
For Theresa to receive such attention from a deity would only be a good thing. Besides, Sethlin, the forr God of Order, wouldn’t harm her own divine envoy, and they hadn’t done anything shady along the way.
“So, is there sothing urgent for you to suddenly co to ? Did sothing happen with the Divine Tree or the Celestial City?”
Violet casually placed the statue in her hand on the side table. The tool they were using to communicate across tens of thousands of kiloters was none other than the Sky God statue that the priestess had obtained from Lilya. It had once sealed the fragnts of Sethlin’s divine nature.
After regaining her divine position, the Goddess of Life had modified this Minerva’s Statue with special materials, turning it into a container capable of storing so divine power and a little divine consciousness from the Goddess.
Violet wasn’t entirely sure what it was used for, but Sethlin’s exact words were, “When you encounter trouble, just try using it.” As for remote communication, sothing even ordinary people could manage with effort, it was naturally not a problem for a deity.
After receiving it, the priestess had once appraised this modified tool. Although it was quite mysterious due to directly bearing a part of the divine power, and not much useful information was obtained from the investigation, it could at least be judged as a powerful item reaching the level of a Holy Artifact, and even close to the level of a Demi-God Artifact.
It could almost be considered the highest-grade tool that Violet had acquired in this world so far. It could only be said that the items brought out by the deities were indeed different.
Upon hearing this, Sethlin smiled and shook her head.
“Rest assured, both the city and the Divine Tree are safe. The nutrients we provided for that child together were already enough to complete its entire growth process. Once it matures and the saplings are planted, the Divine Tree will be able to spontaneously absorb the magic in the air for circulation, stabilize the seal, and even nourish the surroundings. By then, I won’t have to stay here all day. So, you all need to work hard.”
“Yes, yes... So, did the Goddess specially call to urge us on?”
“Let’s get this straight, I’m not just having fun on my own. The location for the first sapling has already been discussed, but there have been so other issues I plan to deal with first...”
“Let emphasize again, absolutely no slacking off!”
