Chapter 840 The Ancient Ones

“E-Ellie, I think this weapon can be hazardous.” Erina widened her eyes in shock. She only consumed a small amount of energy, but the damage output was tremendous.

“The world itself is dangerous, my dear Erina. Sometimes, you need to fight back with the same intentions that your opponent has.

That way, you can feel safe. However, please don’t lend this weapon to anyone else because I’m giving it to you guys for self-defence. Mio, please take care of Erina and don’t leave her alone. She can be easily kidnapped, fufu.” Elysia covered her mouth.

“I will take care of Erina-sama even with my life at stake.” Mio put her hand on her upper chest.

“In that case, please take care of your life too since it is also precious.” Elysia grasped her hand and smiled gently.

“Roger.” Mio nodded in understanding with some appreciation in her gaze.

“Eh, Ellie... Where did your master go?” Erina looked left and right but couldn’t find the one she was looking for.

“You can’t see her anymore. Let’s go back to Japan.” Elysia offered her hand. She couldn’t possibly tell that Elena had entered her Private Realm.

“I see...” Erina felt a little relieved, and it was a bit strange because she didn’t know why.

She then accepted Elysia’s outstretched hand and grabbed Mio’s hand.

At that second, Elysia used teleportation to the marker in Erina’s room as their destination.

*Poof*

The scenery changed from a simple hut room to a lovely girl’s bedroom.

Erina and Mio were dizzy and slightly nauseous from that instant transfer. Still, they had gotten used to it a little since it was their second experience.

“Ellie, are you going to do anything dangerous tomorrow? I mean, you and your entire organization? I-” Erina wanted to say something, but she didn’t feel in the proper position to ask Elysia.

“That’s fine, Erina. You don’t have to worry. We’ll definitely be back. Everything’s for sure.” Elysia didn’t need to explain anything. She simply replied with a tender smile and waved her hand. “I need to get back soon. You should get some rest too. See you later!”

After saying that, Elysia returned to the room in the modest hut with a poof. Elena exited the Elysian Realm and pulled Elysia into a bedroom, surprising the surrounding nature spirits.

“Mio, Ellie is gone.” Erina muttered quietly.

“Yes, Erina-sama.” Mio nodded.

“Mio, sleep with me.” Erina invited Mio to lie down on the bed together with her. She then wondered. “Guardian of Dream... Some of them aren’t human, Mio. Elysia’s master is a divine angel. They’re not an organization that humans can fight against. Then, what are they going to do?”

“Erina-sama, you are overthinking things. Are you worried about Elysia-sama? She’s already told us too much about her background. Can’t you see what she’s trying to say yet?” Mio muttered softly while looking up at the ceiling.

“Ellie trusts us, but not all members of her organization. Ellie has the biggest circle of friends there, and her group seems to be respected by the other members. They may want to save the world, but I feel Ellie is going to some dangerous place.” Erina touched her upper chest, where Elysia left a spiritual marker inside her.

“We don’t know what they’re going to do, but we can’t do anything either. Elysia-sama doesn’t want you to know either, but you’re too sensitive to notice, Erina-sama. Let’s pray to the almighty for their safety. I know they are doing it solely for the noble good.” Mio heaved a subtle sigh and clasped her hands.

“En.” Erina agreed and clasped her hands with her eyes closed. She prayed for the safety of Elysia and everyone else.

Meanwhile, Elysia had just been pushed and pinned down on the bed by Elena. The bedroom was also sealed with a particular barrier by Elena.

Elysia tucked a handful of Elena’s golden hair back. She then put her hands on Elena’s cheeks and asked with a smile. “What’s wrong, dear Sister Elena? You look agitated.”

“We finally have time for just the two of us, Ely.” Elena smiled faintly, but her expression suddenly turned solemn. “You don’t have any stupid, selfish plans, do you? If there are, please put them out of your mind right now. Don’t you dare to have a stupid idea, let alone not consult it with me first?”

“Why are you suddenly saying that? I’m not going to act stupid, let alone harbor stupid plans. You know me from the inside out. If there’s someone who knows me better than myself, it’s you. My guardian angel, my dear Sister Elena.” Elysia felt slightly confused, but she immediately hugged Elena and patted the restless girl on the back.

“Yes, that’s true, but I feel like many things happened because of that Boundless Realm event. I no longer know everything about you. I also need mind sync to access your mind now... When we’re not in sync, it’s complicated for me to know your thoughts. You know, a horrible image suddenly crossed my mind where you were hurt and sacrificed yourself for us. And that’s very scary.” Elena shook her head while looking deeply into Elysia’s purplish blue eyes as if she was staring directly into Elysia’s soul.

“That must be scary. Yosh, yosh, I’m not going anywhere because my place to return to is by your side. I don’t know what I would do if you weren’t there. If you’re still restless, let’s go to the Elysian Realm. Mind sync access is much more efficient if I’m in my spirit form.” Elysia smiled warmly and propelled her body to sit up. Elena was sitting astride on her waist now.

“Sure.” Elena thought it was a good idea but didn’t jump straight into the Elysian Realm. “Before that, promise me. Don’t leave me; I won’t allow you to leave under any circumstances. I will use my first wish.”

“I’ll give my promise if you want it without requiring special circumstances like the two-wish I promised you.” Elysia tilted her head slightly. She had no idea about Elena’s sudden uneasiness, but she knew how to handle it.

“...” Elena didn’t answer, just stared at Elysia’s face.

“I am Elysia. I will not leave my dear sister Elena under any circumstances. I will not take stupid or selfish decisions under any circumstances. I will also always share my thoughts on everything without hesitation. There are no my problems or your matters but our affairs.” Elysia put her hand on her upper chest and stated her promise to Elena.

After saying that, she restored Elena’s good mood, and they entered the Elysian Realm to sort things out. Not long after, they came out and made a secret weapon from sixty-three king pieces, plus extras.

An hour later, the two of them finally rested on the bed with their fingers intertwined in their sleep.

The girls also decided to rest, but two Goddesses strolled around the Nature Realm while having a private conversation.

“This is simply amazing. You made a whole new mini world and its fundamental laws. It’s not just a separate dimension.” Gaia was amazed by the beautiful world she was currently visiting.

“This private realm is my masterpiece in the past. The perfect world where it used to be just my dream, but everything can come true in the end.” Lifa is proud of her perfect world.

“You gave your perfect world to Elysia. You really invested a lot in both of them, huh. May I know your views on them?” Gaia felt so curious.

“They deserve the best. You are Earth’s core, and I am a tree. You must know that the ancient must have a purpose to exist and thrive, right?” Lifa clasped her hands behind her back.

“Yes... If not, they will choose reincarnation and reset their memories. Although, some choose to regain their memories for a reason. The ones who strive and persist will continue to seek and try to reach it, no matter how long it takes.” Gaia fully understood that understanding.

“Gaia, how about you join us and uncover the Infinite Universe’s secrets? You are too strong to stay in the lower realm forever. You’re just too relaxed.” Lifa tried to recruit the other party, even though she knew it was unlikely to work.

“You can measure my true self? Elysia’s ability can only estimate my avatar’s potential, though?” Gaia closed her eyes.

“I’m just guessing, just like you, who came to me and tried to get along. Look, we’re even both interested in Elysia and Lina’s secrets. They may have lost their memories in their umpteenth reincarnation, but I know there’s a huge scheme prepared for them... grander than I could have imagined.” Lifa muttered as she looked up at the beautiful starry night sky.

“Yes, their arrival was really unexpected. However, I now wonder, are you just a tree that has existed for hundreds of thousands of years? You are hiding too many things, and that’s why Elysia and Lina are quite wary of you.” Gaia smiled mysteriously.

“Fufu, what are you saying, my friend? I am just an old tree that has just been reborn. In comparison, I am no match for a world’s core that has manifested for several billion years.” Lifa covered her mouth elegantly.

“Hmm, is that so? Someone once told me the entire realm of the grand universe is just a tree of universes. We’re only inside one of the branches, and there are still so many other universes.” Gaia grasped her hand while trying to remember things far in the past.

“Oh, so ‘he’ came to you... Do you still remember your encounter?” Lifa asked in wonder.

“You too? What a pity, ‘he’ only came for a deal and contract. Who knows that entity’s real purposes.” Gaia sighed.

After that, the two of them just walked around in silence. A few moments later, Gaia muttered under her breath. “If I leave, then the apocalypse will occur. Earth Realm will gradually cease to exist. The time has not yet come.”

“I see... you still have responsibilities. It’s not yet the time, and you haven’t figured it out yet. Anyway, my offer remains. We may meet again somewhere far in the future. At that time, you must join us. Otherwise, I will beat you.” Lifa clenched her fists with a friendly smile.

“Fufu, let’s see what happens in the future.” Gaia chuckled and covered her mouth. “That was a great conversation, Lady Midori. I enjoyed talking with you. One day, I’d like you to introduce yourself by your real name. Everyone in your group too. However, now is the time for me to return. Otherwise, nature spirits will be restless.”

“Let’s anticipate it when you join our group. However, the portal is completely closed, and Elysia seems to have fallen asleep in the outside world. Elysia is this realm’s master, and I can’t let you out now.” Lifa shrugged her shoulders with an innocent expression.

“You planned this, didn’t you? Let’s hope the nature spirits are not anxious because I’ll be away for quite a while without telling them.” Gaia just sighed and decided to pass the time by exchanging thoughts with someone she could possibly call a fellow ancient one with a similar path of destiny.
