Lisi gave a soft smile. For some reason, Irene felt that she looked exactly like the God of Lies in that moment.
Just then, Paris walked gracefully into the Shrine. She immediately spotted the Transparent Membrane on Lisi’s middle and ring fingers.
Paris’s gaze instantly turned playful, and she even seemed pleasantly surprised. “So, that’s the great idea His Highness came up with? It seems it really is an excellent method.”
Paris stopped there, her eyes flickering back and forth between Lisi and Irene. However, she didn’t say anything further.
Feeling a bit awkward, Lisi hid that hand behind her back.
Standing behind Paris, Ilena let out a sigh of relief. ‘At least I wasn’t the one who had to say it,’ she thought. After all, it was truly too embarrassing.
Paris stepped forward and, with a smile, took one piece from a box. She spoke to the two women behind Ilena. “Bishop Ilena, this small amount won’t be enough to supply all the empires across the Continent. The Church of the Ocean is in on this matter. Therefore, I’ll be taking this as a sample. As for the raw materials and the production method… I’ll have to trouble you to provide them to us.”
Ilena nodded quickly, her hands resting obediently in front of her as her soft hair swayed with the movement. “Of course, Pope Paris. I will.”
Paris nodded, then suddenly asked, “By the way, where is Her Holiness Sislia?”
Paris felt quite grateful to Sislia for playing matchmaker between her and Zorg. Furthermore, her own Sea God had a history with the other party’s Dawn Goddess. The two great churches could take this opportunity to have some exchanges.
Well, the most important part was actually the other church’s Newspaper Office. It was an excellent way to spread faith. However, they didn’t know the production methods for those things called cameras and newspapers.
“His Lordship…” Ilena choked on her words at the question.
Right now, Sislia and His Highness were likely in a state where they didn’t even know what world they were in. Thinking of this, Ilena couldn’t help but project herself into Sislia’s position, and the images in her mind gradually grew bolder.
Just as she started to fantasize, she forced herself to snap out of it. “His Lordship is currently discussing important matters with His Highness! There are absolutely no secrets that others shouldn’t know!”
“Oh~”
Paris gave a meaningful “oh,” then didn’t press further. “If that’s the case, then it’s a real shame. I’ll just have to wait for another opportunity to see Her Holiness Sislia. Give my regards to His Highness.”
After saying that, Paris turned and left.

“Hey, Zorg, what are you still doing in that pit? Are you actually hurt? No, where would you be hurt? Do you want me, your brother, to rub some medicine on you?”
“…I am not injured. I am simply used to quiet. Fine, I have things to do. I will be operating alone for a while.”
“We only just met up. Why are you in such a hurry…”

In the infinite universe.
There was a brilliant, green-gold unknown space. Majestic Power of Divinity radiated from within continuously, drawing the gazes of some ancient and evil existences, but they all retreated into hiding, wary of the power.
Lu Ming sat calmly on a reclining chair, watching a certain point outside the Divine Realm. He sensed a slightly familiar aura rushing toward him at high speed from a distance.
Seeing Lu Ming completely ignore her, Sislia was extremely curious about who was coming. To think someone could attract His Highness’s attention like this.
Lu Ming’s internal state, however, was not as calm as his appearance suggested.
‘The Sea God, Sirenasi… What does she mean by coming here so suddenly at a time like this?’
Lu Ming secretly touched the Crystal Shell. ‘Didn’t she say she would wait for me to find her?’
Lu Ming fell into thought. He naturally understood that the Sea God’s sudden visit couldn’t possibly be just because she wanted to see him. There had to be some unknown reason behind it.
With a slight thought from Lu Ming, the massive Divine Realm began to tremble. The solid space started to deform, creating an opening above. The vast, dark universe appeared before Sislia’s eyes.
But in the next second, she saw a deep blue tide that was massive even by the standards of the universe. It was surging toward the Eternity Garden. Upon that tide stood a majestic figure; the blue waves seemed to be a part of her. A sea breeze, mixed with a fresh, salty scent, brushed against Sislia’s face.
‘The Sea God… why would she come looking for His Highness?’
The image of that Deity surfaced in Sislia’s mind. Beautiful—stunningly beautiful—with a fresh yet bold beauty. She asked herself and realized that she might indeed fall a bit short compared to that one.
But it made no sense. From what she knew, the two gods had only met once. Could the Sea God have fallen for His Highness after just one meeting? She hadn’t even seen His Highness’s true appearance. Furthermore, His Highness is a Goddess!
‘Why does he attract women so much…’
The waves gradually merged with the Eternity Garden. The side where the Sea God arrived turned into a deep sea, with a mysterious palace faintly visible within.
To Lu Ming, it seemed to have the shadows of modern architecture. However, compared to the buildings of the Parallel Blue Star, it was somewhat abstract.
‘The Sea God’s Divine Realm, Atlantis… Heh, it really is exactly as I imagined…’
Lu Ming looked at Sirenasi, who was lying quite lazily on the oceanic throne. His eyelid twitched slightly. This woman’s true form was dressed even more provocatively. In Lu Ming’s eyes, there was only a patch of snow-white skin, with shells and pearls used for decoration or covering in only a few specific places.
“I wonder what brings Your Highness Sirenasi here so suddenly?”
Lu Ming was not particularly wary of her. The fact that Sirenasi dared to directly connect her Divine Realm to his Eternity Garden showed that she definitely bore no ill will. After all, if Lu Ming wanted to start a Divine War, he would have an absolute advantage. Even Sirenasi’s Divine Authority would be restricted by him.
Sirenasi sat up slightly and stretched lazily. Her deep blue, profound eyes flickered, and the corners of her mouth curled into an ambiguous smile.
“Your Highness Ymir, I missed you.”
“Please get to the point. If there is nothing, then please leave.”
Lu Ming spoke without hesitation. Hearing Sirenasi’s nonsense, he instantly understood something. It was likely that this Sea God had run into some trouble and was preparing to ask him for help.
But Lu Ming was clearly no fool. He could help, but it would depend on what she could offer. Moreover, if the matter was too complicated, Lu Ming definitely wouldn’t agree to it. He speculated that the matter was likely related to the God of War or that scoundrel Xiunis.
