The Divine Realm.
This was a world completely different from the human world and even the Demon Realm.
Because the Divine Realm had no land or oceans, only islands floating in mid-air, like castles.
Yes, islands.
The Divine Realm was formed by floating islands, creating a wondrous landscape unlike the other two realms.
The floating islands drifted constantly.
Therefore, their positions were always changing.
However, upon closer observation, one would find that the movement of these islands followed a pattern.
They all revolved around a large, stationary island, like celestial bodies orbiting a sun, moving in circular patterns.
The closer to the central island, the fewer the floating islands. The closest ones were only three, orbiting like guards or offspring, rising and falling, a pleasing sight.
At this moment, Anima appeared on one of the three floating islands.
The Goddess of Life, as if walking in the clouds, slowly moved forward, looking around. Although her eyes weren’t open, she seemed to be able to see everything here.
Soon, Anima arrived in a forest.
It was a very beautiful forest.
The forest was full of life, an environment that Anima loved.
Unfortunately, although Anima was the Goddess of Life, she wasn’t the owner of this forest filled with life.
The owner of this forest was another goddess.
Anima entered the depths of the forest in search of this goddess, eventually arriving at a clear lake.
“Oh my, Anima, is that you?”
At this moment, a pleasant voice, like that of a lake spirit, reached Anima’s ears.
Anima looked up at the clear, beautiful lake and said softly,
“Come out, Nadue. I have something to discuss with you.”
As soon as Anima finished speaking, ripples appeared on the surface of the lake, creating waves.
Amidst the waves, the clear lake water seemed to dance, and streams of water rose up.
The streams intertwined, then gathered together, forming a beautiful, ethereal body made of water.
The next moment, the ethereal body gradually solidified, transforming into a goddess.
A goddess with waist-length, icy blue hair like water, her features exquisite, as if she was the embodiment of beauty, her eyes also a crystal-clear icy blue, her ears long and pointed like an elf’s, truly captivating.
When this goddess appeared, the forest, the lake, the atmosphere, even the world itself, seemed to rejoice, emanating joy, either radiating light or swaying gently.
The goddess named Nadue, as if born from nature, or perhaps the embodiment of nature itself, came to Anima, carried by the flowing water.
“Greetings, Anima.”
Nadue greeted Anima with an impeccable smile and a respectful bow.
“Greetings, Nadue.” Anima smiled helplessly. “I’ve told you many times, you don’t have to be so polite to me.”
This was only natural.
After all, this beautiful goddess before her was born at the same time as Anima, also a pinnacle of the Divine Race, a close sister and companion of many years, one of the Three Goddesses – the Goddess of Nature.
Facing her closest sister, Anima naturally didn’t want her to be so polite.
However…
“This isn’t politeness, but basic courtesy.”
Nadue’s smile remained impeccably perfect. She was more like a perfectly educated princess of noble birth than a goddess.
Anima always thought that if Nadue wasn’t a goddess, she would definitely be the perfect embodiment of a “princess.”
She was dignified and courteous, beautiful and generous, her every move exuding a natural grace, elegance, and humility. In both the Divine Realm and the human world, she was the most popular and beloved goddess.
Anima often thought that if all life in the human world possessed Nadue’s qualities, then they would have reached the state of perfect cultivation as a being or a race.
When creating the human race, Anima often used this goddess as a model, and even when the Goddess of Fate guided the lower realm beings, she mostly used this goddess’s behavior as a standard, guiding the progress and growth of life in the lower realm.
Sometimes, Nadue’s dignified courtesy and calm generosity even made Anima feel ashamed of herself, showing how perfect and flawless the Goddess of Nature’s behavior was.
Just like now, Nadue invited Anima,
“Since you’re here, would you like to try some of the honey tea I recently made?”
Saying so, Nadue beckoned with her slender, jade-like hand, and a cup of enticing honey tea, carried by a stream of water, flew from the lake towards Anima.
“Thank you for the hospitality.”
Anima couldn’t refuse, accepting the tea politely and taking a sip.
The two then began to chat, like two noble ladies enjoying afternoon tea, relaxed and comfortable, the atmosphere warm and pleasant.
If this scene were seen by others, they would definitely stop and watch, as if admiring a beautiful scenery, reluctant to leave.
