"Huh? I … Wasn't I sleeping? Why did I suddenly come here? "
He felt a cool breeze brushing past his cheeks.
Elvin, who was originally in a deep sleep, slowly opened his eyes. He was surprised to find himself floating in a boundless silver ocean.
The liquid in this ocean was not water, but a strange substance that allowed people to breathe freely. It was like the air in the forest after a thunderstorm, natural and fresh.
There was no distinction between up and down. Soft light clouds moved slowly above and below his feet. Gray and white light ribbons kept rolling, reflecting more distant stars.
Even the Demonic Eye of Insight found it difficult to "see" from afar.
There were floating islands, gravel, lakes, magma belts, and so on. They seemed to be material objects of the material world, indicating that there might be normal creatures living here.
Elvin also quickly found that his body had once again returned to its appearance when he was twelve or thirteen years old. There was a faint golden [Divinity] radiance from inside out.
It was obvious that it was not his physical body that came here, but only his soul.
He looked around for a moment.
His rich mystical knowledge had already allowed him to recognize that this was no longer the material world, but the "Heaven Realm" where the God's Kingdom was located. It was also called the "Sea of Stars"!
This discovery made Elvin's body tremble slightly. Who had the ability to pull a divine creature's soul to the Heaven Realm without any commotion?
The answer could only be a … True God!
It was also at this moment.
Elvin suddenly felt a strong sense of weightlessness. He could not resist and fell toward a vast star that was surrounded by seawater. There was a faint sound of waves.
Thud!
When his feet landed again, he had already appeared on a tender green grassland.
A few young Heaven Realm White Deer were leisurely wandering around here. In the distance, there were layers of forest hiding white stone buildings that looked like sails.
In front of him was a huge pool made of white jade that was not much smaller than a lake.
The water was clear and slightly silvery. Elvin recognized where it was at a glance. It was the Cleansing Pool in the Goddess' Kingdom!
The reason why he was able to achieve the balance of three attributes before he became a Tier 3 [Branded Swordsman] was because he had drunk the water from the Cleansing Pool.
After confirming his location and the alarm was lifted, Evan let out a sigh of relief.
What he was most afraid of was being attacked by the sinister "God of Black Wings." Although he did not know why his goddess had suddenly pulled him into the God's Kingdom, it was unlikely that his life would be in danger.
"Speaking of which, is there no one here to receive you? Where am I going? "
Elvin muttered as he looked around.
Hualala …
Suddenly, a clear sound of water came from the pool.
He hurriedly raised his head to take a look, only to see a dazzling whiteness of infinite beauty suddenly emerging from the pool of silver light not far away.
"This … Cleansing Pool … Cleansing Pool … Is this really the place where the Goddess bathes?!"
His nostrils suddenly heated up, and his heart beat violently like a drum.
Although the owner of this beautiful scene did not seem to mind that there was an outsider present, Elvin did not dare to look. With great willpower, he lowered his head and stared fiercely at the tip of his feet.
Then, there was the sound of the beautiful figure wading through the pool and coming up to the shore, followed by the rustling sound of clothes being worn.
Elvin kept his head down.
But his extremely sharp senses could still clearly feel that the figure was walking slowly on the soft grass in front of him, then leaning back and sitting on a chair made of air.
"Hehehe, my beloved Saint, raise your head."
A voice that was as pleasant as spring water flowed in Elvin's heart.
Hearing this, Elvin's gaze swept from bottom to top.
The Goddess was draped in a sea-blue silk robe with a high slit. Her slender legs were crossed as she sat. On her fair bare feet, there was a shiny foot ring, and on her thighs was a shining leg ring that seemed to be made of stars.
But all the luxuries on her were just embellishments, and would not overshadow her at all.
Finally, he could see her full appearance.
Above her head was an angelic halo like a sun crown, with white jade-like arms supporting her snow-white cheeks.
She had long golden hair and sparkling green eyes. No one could describe her beauty with words.
Behind her was a vast expanse of divine light.
Among them, there were Calais galleys, dragon-headed ships, flute-shaped ships, Karak ships, Galen ships, new sailing battleships, Caleut-type heavy-armored cruisers, "Brigentine-type" mixed two-masted sailing ships, flying scissors …
There was also the newly launched mass-produced [Dreadnaught-class all-heavy-artillery battleship] and other ships. The lights and shadows of the crew on them were constantly flowing.
This was the incarnation of the Goddess that Elvin had met once before. She was kissed by him and given [Secondary Authority — Sea Kingship] — the "Angel of Royalty."
Although Elvin felt that the Goddess's current clothes were a little too … beautiful, the holiness and majesty of "Her" made it impossible for anyone to have the slightest blasphemy.
He knelt on one knee beside the Goddess's feet and gently kissed the tip of "Her" slender finger in a ritual that only a "Saint" who was a true believer was qualified to use.
"Hehehe, little guy, I heard that you seem to have a lot of question marks?"
Elvin's heart skipped a beat. He already understood why the Goddess had pulled him to the divine kingdom.
Without waiting for him to respond, Hecaterpillar continued, "My beloved Saint.
If it weren't for you, I would really be in a terrible fix because of that disgusting guy, Ceci.
Today, Bellenus has already reported to me the problem you raised.
Don't worry, you are the one who is different. I promise you in the name of 'Sea Kingship' that Saint Elvin will safely survive the future calamity of the era. "
Elvin's heart warmed as he quickly bowed to express his gratitude. However, he mustered up the courage to carefully ask another question.
"Then … what about the others?"
"The others? Hehehe … "
Hecaterpillar covered her small mouth elegantly and let out a bell-like laughter.
"You don't have to worry about this at all. Time will naturally make the choice for you. Or rather, in the passage of time, you don't have to worry at all.
Besides, even if we have done a lot of things together that are beneficial to the advancement of the world, my power is limited.
But my power is limited after all. Apart from a limited number of people in the divine kingdom, in the entire material world, only you … are the most special one! "
Elvin heard that the Goddess emphasized the word "only."
Her meaning was clear. Other than him getting a ticket on the ship.
Even Watt, the promoter of the steam engine industrial revolution, and this vast divine kingdom would be abandoned at some point in the future.
"My Goddess, have the True Gods already started planning for the calamity of the era?"
The Goddess's attitude towards Elvin, who had helped her clear her name as' Sea Kingship ', was obviously different.
"The True Gods are more intelligent than you think. In fact, a few eras ago, those who were qualified to face the calamity of the era had already thought of various ways to deal with it.
In the second era, the Eekottel civilization learned to passively hide behind the door. In the third era, the Muria civilization learned to control the intensity of targeted killings. In the fourth era, the Derrick civilization was able to bring a very small number of descendants to survive the calamity together.
We know all of this.
In this era, we have been aware of this problem since a long time ago. The way to survive the calamity of the era has actually been improving …
It's just that the 'Natural Gods' and the 'Humanized Gods' have different attitudes towards humans as a whole … "
Elvin listened to the Goddess's explanation and was deep in thought.
In fact, the changes in human society did not have any additional benefits for the 'Natural Gods.'
Moreover, at the level of the True Gods, faith was no longer necessary for them.
Just like the 'Howling Storm' Bierreis, who had completely disappeared. He had only stayed in the 'South Wind Kingdom' for many years and had never expanded his influence outwards.
They only needed batches of believers to help them imprint their 'path', or 'path', into the origin of this world in the cycle of birth, old age, sickness, and death.
No matter how the 'tide of spirituality' changed, it could be continued in the 'origin of the world'.
The Natural Gods' greatest contribution to this world was their role as stabilizers.
As long as there was no large-scale population extinction or a situation that caused them great trouble like the 'Enlightenment', the True Gods themselves were not keen on interfering with the lives of mortals.
Of course, the phenomenon of the Church using the name of the True Gods for personal gain was another matter.
For the 'Humanized Gods', the more they pushed the tide of the world forward, the more capital they had to survive the calamity of the era.
According to the Goddess, this was destined to be the key to the battle between the 'Sea Kingship' and the 'God of Black Wings' in the future.
However, Elvin felt that there should be more to it than that.
"Looking at the series of plans of the God of Black Wings, it doesn't seem to be as simple as a dispute over the tide, right?"
At this moment, the Goddess leaned forward and whispered into Elvin's ear with a delicate fragrance.
"By the way, it's rare for you to come to the Divine Kingdom. You can use the Holy Cleansing Pool water. The original flavor is the best! Hehehe … "
Amid a burst of crisp laughter, Hercaterpillar had already disappeared before Elvin's eyes.
As expected of a True God who had a huge cognitive difference from mortals. The Goddess was like the waves and clouds that flowed as she pleased. It was simply irresistible.
"Are all the Goddesses related to the sea so … uh, unique?"
Although he said no, his body was honest enough. He looked around, picked up a ceramic bottle placed by the pool, and filled it to the brim.
Then, his feet left the ground and he suddenly lost his balance.
