Chapter 336: She Gave Her Private Realm's Core
"Ely, are we really going to do this?" Elena muttered with worry in mind.
'That's fine, Sister Elena. We have a lot of life energy after all. We can help the Goddess of Nature, and also, we need her strength. Besides, Madam Lifa did not want to change her mind. She would even compensate us so much. At the very least, we need to respect her decision. She just wants to be free.' Elysia looked up into the ashen sky obstructed by Lifa's domain.
She couldn't imagine what prompted Lifa to choose the decision to make self-sacrifice for Rhea. Still, Lifa didn't want to change that decision no matter what.
'Well, we just need to practice the technique of absorbing the life energy of other living beings to the highest level. Who knows how much life energy we need for a Goddess.' Elena took a deep breath and chose not to argue about it anymore.
Lifa already knew quite a bit about their secret, and she didn't like it. The only consolation was that their Soul Realm remained a secret, even though Lifa understood Elysia's soul was a huge source of life energy.
'To my disappointment, this old granny doesn't know anything related to our being dumped in this world. I really want to know what kind of existence who drew both of us to this world from Earth.' Elena stroked the cat with a slightly disappointed feeling in her mind.
'That's fine. We just need to face what comes our way. It was you who said it, right, Sister Elena?' Elysia tried to console, and Elena only responded briefly. After that, they no longer wrestled with any other problem than what they needed to deal with.
Elysia and the others arrived at the border between Lifa's domain and the outside world, a barrier directly before them.
Elysia crouched down to inspect the little tree she was going to use as an experiment.
When she turned to Nell and Lifa, the two Goddesses were chatting lightly in a relaxed manner. However, Nell looked sad and helpless.
Lifa noticed Elysia's gaze. Then, she also crouched down and examined the small tree.
"All right, now try to absorb the life energy from this fresh tree. I will judge how proficient you are to make other being's life energy into yours." Lifa made room for Elysia. She also pushed the others to step away from Elysia too.
Elysia took a deep breath, then let it out slowly before holding onto the tree trunk with her hand. She also used her sacred vision.
There were a lot of subtle energy fibers visible in her eyes. She tried to remember what she did to the golden tiger and then practiced the same method with the tree.
She changed the energy pathway to her hands, then began to suck up the tree's life energy carefully and little by little.
Unfortunately, the tree only possessed a minuscule amount of life energy. Elysia absorbed everything until it died in just a second.
"Oops." Elysia withdrew her hand. The small tree quickly withered and died on the ground helplessly.
She turned to the side only to see three of the four spectators gaping in amazement. Only Elena gave an approving nod with a smile.
"Woah, that's unexpected. You did something similar with one of my divine techniques. However, please do the same thing again with this little tree. This time, I won't do anything with its life energy's nerves." Lifa pointed to another small tree, and Elysia just nodded in agreement.
The same result happened once again. However, in the second experiment, Elysia absorbed twice as long as before due to deliberate action. After all, she wanted to do that bit by bit, not one death touch.
"Hum, it's twice as long as the first one, but it's really an amazing achievement for you, Elysia girl." Lifa gave a nod of admiration.
This young girl was still about 16 years old at the level that was still so far off from divine level magic. However, this young girl could accomplish that impossible feat while still at the Apprentice level?
What would this girl accomplish when this girl reached the Goddess level? It was something that could not be imagined even with the billions of years of experience in her life.
"It was done on purpose, you know? My Ely can absorb that tiny amount of life energy in less than a microsecond if you want to know." Elena spoke proudly on purpose. She seemed to know what Lifa had in mind only from Lifa's gaze.
"If that's true, I'll be stunned." Nell interrupted, not taking it for granted.
"You put suspicion and disbelief in my statement. What a disappointment to you, little one. Ely, please do a death touch on the third experiment." Elena shook her head with a sigh of disappointment. She only asked Elysia to prove the truth.
"..." Elysia was at a loss of words. There was nothing they would get by proving that. Nevertheless, she didn't want to embarrass Elena by not doing that. "Yes, master."
Elysia moved to the small tree next to her. She and Elena were still playing with master-disciple relationships even though Lifa didn't believe it.
When Elysia's hand came into contact with the tree, the same result happened again in that very second. Nell was stunned, awkward, and speechless. The little Goddess felt foolish to doubt this unusual master and disciple.
"I see... It's the level of mastery and proficiency that are in different realms. But remember this, Elysia girl. Your strength can be both a savior and a destroyer at the same time. Don't let your strength turn you into a source of destruction and calamity." Lifa crouched down and gave Elysia eye-to-eye advice.
"This young girl understands." Elysia clasped her fist as she conveyed her appreciation.
Afterward, Lifa stood up and advised Nell and Vanessa to keep Elysia's abilities a secret for some apparent reason.
Finished with that, Lifa turned toward Elena. She guessed this supposed divine spirit could do the same thing as Elysia.
"Can you achieve the same or better level of mastery than your disciple?" Lifa played with Elena's little game.
"Take a guess?" Elena just put her index finger on her cheek and smiled mischievously.
"Very well, let's go back to the tree of life." Lifa invited everyone and walked back. She already knew the answer even though Elena didn't say it.
Arriving back on the second floor in the tree of life, Lifa and the others stood right in front of the large semi-transparent green crystal.
Lifa and Elysia planned to carry out their deal by healing Rhea to the point where Rhea's consciousness returned, and Rhea was able to talk with Lifa.
However, before that could even begin, Life turned around to look at Nell. "Child, please stay away with this Spirit Beast. Maybe there will be some unwanted pressure coming on you later. This will probably take some time too."
"All right. Good white cat, come with me. We'll watch from there." Nell flew down right in front of Elena. She stretched out her hands for the cat.
However, Vanessa asked for approval from her master first. When her master nodded, she jumped down and took a distance with the Goddess of Blessings.
Lifa used her magic to provide protection to Nell and Vanessa. Elysia did the same, just in case. Two types of barriers were erected for maximum protection.
After that, Lifa gave her attention to Elena and Elysia. "Elena, can you come back and support Elysia as one existence? What we will do after this is everything to me. I won't allow a single mistake at all cost."
Elena's widened instantly. She wondered whether this old granny was aware of Elysia's Soul Realm or not. Or maybe, it was just a misunderstanding like the one before.
Elena chose to believe in the latter rather than the former. When she recalled it again, she and Elysia were referred to as one for two and two for one. Lifa had a suspicion that their abilities would split in two if she was outside?
"Fine." Elena didn't make a fuss about anything anymore. If that had been discovered, then she and Elysia just needed to strengthen themselves at all costs to face the unexpected danger, according to her hunch.
After Elena said that, she disappeared from everyone's sight except Elysia and Lifa.
Lifa could see Elena returning to Elysia's body, and Elysia's overall abilities seemed to have increased drastically. She was sure she would hit her head if Elysia in the current state couldn't perform divine magic on her level.
Meanwhile, Nell was just scratching her head because she didn't really understand what Lifa said to Elena before the latter disappeared. Maybe, Elena would help Elysia to cast high-tier magic from within? One for two... Could they do fusion? Nell was amazed at her own silly thoughts.
"Very well, Elysia girl. I will teach you about what we are going to do. You will learn a lot of divine magic and techniques, and I'm sure you can use them easily in your current state." After saying that, Lifa extended her hand, and a small green gem with the tree of life symbol popped out from the floor to her hand.
She took out a chunk of Aurora Crystal and created a necklace chain with her magic. She made her Private Realm's core as the jewel for the necklace.
After that, Lifa put the necklace around Elysia's neck. "Please forgive me, Elysia girl. The previous gem was fake, but this is the real one. I gave this to you. I have already unsealed my soul seal. Please use your magic energy until this gem accepts you as the new master."
