Just became an evil god and was summoned by the saint.

Chapter 763 Reflection of the Divine Realm (4k)

The reason why Celia showed her appearance to Meowksa was because when she communicated with Ross in her mind, Ross told her about some characteristics of the Meowk race, which apply to all Meowk people who have awakened their racial talents.

That is, the shaman of the Meow Meow Clan.

And Meowsa happened to have awakened his racial talent, becoming a shaman of the Meowcat race.

Ross calls this characteristic "true, kind, and silly," meaning innocent, kind, and adorably silly, like the seemingly clumsy cats like Meow White and Meow Blue.

He's not actually stupid; he just looks kind of adorably silly.

Of course, the reason for directly revealing the true identity was at Ross's request.

As for what Ross wanted to do, Celia had no idea.

He simply smiled and told her, "It will be useful later."

Fortunately, Celia only showed it to Nyxsa and didn't let anyone else see it.

Afterwards, Meowsa carefully escorted Celia to the guest quarters and handed her a badge that looked like a cat's paw.

“My benefactor, this is the honorary shaman badge of the Meow Meow Clan. I believe you deserve this gift.”

Celia stared at the badge, her face full of questions.

"This badge..."

“Showing this badge will grant me the same status as a Meow Meow Clan shaman. In the Orc Empire, no one will make things difficult for my benefactor!” Meow Blue said happily.

Miao Bai nodded: "We invited our benefactor over because we were hoping that Lord Miao Kesa could give him an honorary shaman badge. Hehe, Lord Miao Kesa is amazing; he could actually see through our thoughts."

Meowsa asked in confusion, "What do you guys think? I don't know, I just think Miss Celia is worth it, don't get too cocky!"

Miao Lan and Miao Bai immediately pouted and turned their heads away.

This conversation, so full of the feel of an underage girl, made a smile involuntarily appear on Celia's lips, and she didn't say the words of refusal that she was going to say.

She accepted the badge and nodded: "Thank you, Lord Meowksa. What does it take to become an honorary shaman of the Meow Clan?"

"You don't have to do anything! Of course, if Miss Celia would like to visit our tribe and enjoy the scenery of the Meow Meow Tribe, we would all welcome you!"

"That's it."

Celia rubbed the cat paw badge together and put it into her spatial ring.

She could tell that Meowsa knew she was wanted, so he gave her the shaman badge in the hopes that it would help her, as a way of thanking her for saving MeowBlue and MeowWhite a second time.

However, Celia felt that this badge must have more than just that simple function; it must have other uses.

But since they didn't say anything, she didn't feel comfortable asking.

After enjoying a traditional Meow Clan dinner at the Meow Clan Manor and spending the night in a comfortable VIP room, Celia bid farewell to Meow Blue, Meow White, and Meow Cosa the next day and left the manor.

“My benefactor, you can actually come in with us. We are organizing an expedition to the Burial Ground of Gods, and our teammates are on their way,” Miao Lan said.

"Idiot, Miao Lan, didn't you notice? Our benefactor is much stronger than us. If we come with us, we'll just be a hindrance," Miao Bai said.

"Meow Blue, of course Meow Blue knows, but, but we don't only have low-level mage teams, we also have high-level mage teams, benefactor can go to the high-level mage team."

Celia watched the two argue with a smile. "Alright, thank you for your kind offer, but I prefer traveling alone. It's more comfortable being by myself."

Meowsa said, "If Miss Celia wants to find teammates, she can come to us. The Meow Clan will always welcome Miss Celia."

"Well, definitely next time!"

"..."

After leaving Meow Meow Manor, Celia quickly sensed that someone was watching her.

She realized that those who coveted the bounty were still waiting outside Meow Meow Manor.

She didn't pay any attention.

As long as they don't appear in front of me or stop me, it doesn't matter.

In addition, Celia would accept it if they could keep up with her.

"Speaking of which, it's been a day. The mastermind behind the bounty should have arrived in Hope City by now, right?" Celia looked up at the sky.

It's morning now, and you can see the sun's rays shining in the distant sky.

But in the City of Hope, only scattered, hazy shadows could be seen.

The girl took a deep breath and walked towards the Burial Ground of Gods together with Ross, who was attached to the puppet.

When entering and leaving Meow Meow Manor, and even while inside Meow Meow Manor, Celia did not summon the puppet back.

The puppet even maintains its clothing, making it completely different from other puppets.

But whether it was Meow Blue, Meow White, Meow Cosa, or any other Meow Clan member, none of them noticed the puppet's abnormality, and they even kept ignoring its existence.

Now that they had left Meow Meow Manor, Celia couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Ross, what kind of magic is it to make someone ignore you?"

"The Shadow Faction".

"Isn't the Shadow School's magic supposed to allow one to vanish into the shadows? That would make one invisible, but Mr. Ross didn't become invisible."

"Because this is the end of the shadows, where existence is ignored, and it falls within the scope of divine magic."

"How amazing! I wish I could learn that!" Celia exclaimed.

She felt that the reason she encountered trouble all the time was because she had too much of a presence. She could be harassed by guards in any city she went to, and who could she complain to?

Ross smiled slightly: "You'll be able to learn it when you become a god."

Celia couldn't help but roll her eyes.

I've already become a god, why would I care about my existence?

The two chatted as they strolled through the city.

It wasn't until noon that Celia finally purchased all the supplies and officially left the city.

After leaving the no-fly zone, she took out her flying broom and flew low into the depths of the Burial Grounds.

There is a path leading to the Burial Ground of Gods that has been walked for hundreds of years. Even though it is a desert, you can see that it is different from other places.

A mist gradually appeared around them, somewhat similar to a polluted fog, but after carefully sensing it, Celia discovered that it was not pollution.

It's just like ordinary fog.

The fog wasn't very dense and didn't affect visibility; it just blocked the sun and made the ground gradually cooler.

As they went deeper, the cold air became even more noticeable.

Celia took out the map she had bought in the city and examined it carefully. "Based on the Orc Empire's exploration over the years, the Burial Ground of Gods is roughly divided into the outer perimeter, the inner perimeter, and the unexplored area. The outer perimeter spans about ten kilometers, which is quite large. However, apart from those stones, there are basically no treasures left here; they've all been taken away."

Celia closed the map and looked at Ross: "Mr. Ross, should we go directly to that coordinate?"

Ross nodded: "Let's go straight there."

"it is good."

Celia nodded without asking any further questions.

As you continue walking inward, the path under your feet gradually becomes scattered and eventually disappears.

Celia looked around. The surroundings were completely shrouded in a hazy mist. She could see the scenery in the distance, but behind her... she could not see any trace of the City of Hope.

She had only been less than five kilometers from the city.

The desert here is not a mountain range; it is mostly flat land. Even in the fog, you can see a shadow, but you can't see anything at all.

"According to the precautions marked on the map for the Burial Grounds of Gods, this fog will not only cause various abnormal phenomena during battles, but it will also make people lose their way. Every step must be taken with caution to avoid falling into traps hidden in the calm environment..."

Celia muttered something casually, glanced behind her, and couldn't help but mutter again:
"What the hell? Did all those people get lost? Why didn't they come in?" According to the bounty information that Miao Lan Miao Bai mentioned, the bounty did not require the orc who accepted the bounty to assassinate her. The highest reward was only for providing information about her at any time.

Celia was certainly not naive enough to think that they were only after her.

Or rather, it's more comfortable to fight to the death than to capture someone.

After waiting for a while, and seeing that no one had come out to assassinate her, Celia continued to walk inside.

"That coordinate should be in the deepest part of the Burial Grounds of Gods. Let's go slowly and be careful."

“It’s right to be careful.” Ross nodded. “From here on, we could trigger anomalies at any time and end up in some interesting places.”

"What interesting place?" Celia asked.

Ross smiled without saying a word, "You'll know when you encounter it."

"Ok."

Celia didn't say anything, because she was used to Ross only saying half of what he meant.

However, most of the time, after Ross says this, the answer will be known soon, and only in rare cases will it take a long time to find out.

This is also the most common situation.

Because shortly after Celia's curiosity was piqued, she noticed that something was wrong with her surroundings.

Trees made entirely of stone have grown around us, though we don't know when.

These 'trees' are completely different from the stone trees of the Golden Apple Stone Forest.

The trees in the Golden Apple Stone Forest are made up of a large number of stones that rise from the ground, like sticks planted in the earth.

The trees here have trunks, branches, and even... leaves.

Celia saw a tree about twenty meters tall in front of her, its leaves, made entirely of stone, swaying gently.

"It's probably not a stone tree, it just looks like a stone."

Celia looked around and realized that this place didn't resemble warp space at all.

The subspace is actually not much different from reality; its rules follow those of reality. But here…

Celia reached out and grabbed a 'leaf', tore it off, and examined it in her hand.

When a leaf breaks in your hand, both the feel and the texture of the cross-section indicate that it is a stone.

Celia frowned: "These aren't trees, they're stones, but stones shouldn't sway like trees in the wind."

As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly noticed that the tree in front of her, which had been swaying in the wind, suddenly stopped moving and became like a stone, no longer swaying.

Celia blinked and looked at Ross beside her: "Words...words become law?"

Ross said, "A more apt analogy is that these 'trees' realized they had been exposed."

Celia's heart skipped a beat: "Are these trees all alive?"

"Ah."

As soon as Ross finished speaking, the stone tree in front of him sprang up from the ground, revealing the stone roots buried underground.

These roots became their feet, and the branches became their hands, as they slowly walked towards Celia.

The stone tree closest to her had already flicked its 'hand,' sending out a large number of stone leaves and branches, sharp as knives, rushing towards Celia and directly blocking the area where she was hiding.

The staff was taken by Celia, who raised her hand to cast an Ice Shield spell on herself before launching a counterattack.

A violent blizzard raged around Celia, engulfing an area of ​​several dozen meters.

After a long while, the world quieted down.

"That's it?"

Disappointment appeared on the girl's face.

"If you have to go through so much trouble to defeat the outside world, do you think you can even enter the unexplored areas?" Ross laughed.

"That's right."

The thought that this was just the outer area brought Celia a sense of relief.

After she smashed all the stone trees here, everything around her became hazy.

Celia found herself back in the desert, where it was very quiet, with only occasional sights of orcs or groups of elves and humans from other countries cautiously making their way forward.

The Orc Empire did not prevent explorers from other countries from exploring the Burial Grounds of Gods, because the Burial Grounds of Gods were different from ordinary ancient ruins. It was like the Golden Apple Stone Forest, occupying a large area. It was impossible to enclose such a large area.

It had been prohibited before, but with little effect. Later, after the Beast King was replaced, the prohibition was simply lifted, allowing foreign expeditions to explore freely.

Of course, because the foreign expeditions needed to resupply here, the three outer cities generated substantial profits for the Orc Empire, contributing significantly to its revenue.

"What was that just now? Subspace? A dream?" Celia was a little confused.

The stones themselves did not exhibit any magical fluctuations, nor did they show any signs of contamination.

Without magic or pollution, what drives them?
After much thought, only a dream could provide the answer.

Ross shook his head: "If it were a dream, wouldn't you be able to tell?"

"It certainly doesn't feel like a dream. While everything in a dream can defy common sense, it still gives a sense of unreality. Even in the Destiny Ruins, a combination of the subspace and dreams, traces of dreams are easily visible. But here..."

Celia shook her head, indicating that she couldn't tell.

“Besides dreams and the subspace, there is another independent world,” Ross said calmly.

"Is there anything else?" Celia fell into deep thought.

"Think about it again. You've been inside that kind of independent world before."

"I went in?" Celia was bewildered.

Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind.

"Mr. Ross, you wouldn't be referring to... the realm of gods, would you?"

"Yes, the realm of gods."

Celia was taken aback: "No, that can't be right? Wasn't it said that one could only enter the realm of gods during the Ascension Trial?"

"Correct."

"That……"

"That is a reflection of the divine realm."

"A reflection of the divine realm?"

"A fierce divine battle has taken place here, and some strange reactions that are not yet clear have occurred, causing the barrier between the divine realm and this place to thin. The divine power that has lingered here has affected the divine realm, causing a reflection of the divine realm to appear here. People walking here may enter the reflection of the divine realm at any time and undergo a virtual test similar to the Ascension Trial."

As he spoke, Ross looked into the depths, his eyes gleaming.

"However, it may not be that simple, because this involves the three Fates. The Fates are skilled at using the power of dreams, and here, Alina once used all her strength to trap the gods in a dream, which was only broken when the God King descended..."

Celia couldn't help but think of the scene she had seen in Alina's dream.

Alina restored the night sky, and the gods fell into a beautiful dream, until the blazing sun summoned by the King of Gods dispelled the night sky and severely injured Alina, thus awakening the gods.

Celia felt a strange sense of loss. She looked up at Ross, about to say something, when Ross had already walked forward and beckoned her to follow.

"Let's go see what Villandis is up to."
