A Ticket to Godhood

Although she now possessed a ticket to godhood, it did not mean that Olivia's next stage would be becoming a god.

First, she had to finish her journey on the path of transcendence. Currently, she was still at the eighth class rank, the Destroyer rank.

She still needed to reach the final class rank, Controller, before she could truly transcend and look toward the path of godhood.

Even so, Olivia was incredibly happy.

With divine power already at her disposal, her advancement speed would be far greater than before. The Controller rank seemed within reach, and transcending the path of transcendence was by no means an impossible dream.

While assessing her physical condition, Olivia also questioned the magic mirror in her mind, seeking a deeper understanding of her current state.

The magic mirror quickly provided answers regarding her condition.

After a short exchange, Olivia received a vital piece of information from the magic mirror.

【Master, because you have mastered divine power, my new range of control can now be positioned within the Divine Realm.】

Olivia’s heart shook when the magic mirror delivered this news.

The magic mirror could actually include the Divine Realm within its range of control.

This was undoubtedly exhilarating news. However, after a moment of thought, Olivia did not immediately decide on the new range.

She first asked the magic mirror and learned that while it could include the Divine Realm, it could only cover a small area for the time being.

Since the area was small, choosing where to place that range was a matter that required careful consideration.

Olivia did not plan to make a hasty decision; she already had an idea in mind.

Wasn't a competition about to unfold among the gods? At that time, she would have to fight against the chosen representatives of other deities.

Those chosen by the gods would be, at the very least, Protagonists of the Era, and perhaps even stronger.

Therefore, Olivia felt that she needed to take such a battle seriously.

She suspected that this competition would likely take place within the Divine Realm.

Once she knew where the battle would be held, she would fix the magic mirror's new range of control there.

For a moment, Olivia even found herself looking forward to that day.

As for now, it was better to focus on improving herself.

Olivia began to meditate. She could now sense not only magic particles but also divine power particles, which she continuously absorbed to strengthen her body.

She remained in the divine domain, rapidly progressing in solitude.

Time flowed swiftly in this manner.

Olivia had no idea how much time had passed until Edith, the angel, appeared before her.

“Olivia, the Goddess has summoned everyone,” Edith's voice interrupted Olivia's cultivation.

Coming back to her senses, Olivia immediately flew over.

When she arrived outside the Radiant Goddess's palace, she found that Adam, Guinevere, and Rose had all arrived.

The looks the three of them gave Olivia were all different.

Rose's gaze was one of pure joy at seeing her.

The eyes of Adam and Guinevere, however, were much more complex.

They both knew that Olivia had been permitted to cultivate in the Upper Layer of the divine domain, something they envied greatly.

In truth, for people like them who had not yet mastered divine power, there was no real difference between the Upper Layer and the Lower Layer.

What they cared about was the Radiant Goddess's attitude.

The fact that the Radiant Goddess allowed Olivia to stay in the Upper Layer undoubtedly showed that she placed extraordinary importance on her.

Such favor was enough to make any believer burn with envy.

However, no one said much at that moment.

Once everyone was present, they entered the palace together.

Upon the highest throne sat the Radiant Goddess. Her long golden hair moved slightly as if stirred by an unseen wind, and her entire being exuded a mysterious, distant sense of solemnity.

She looked at the gathered group and said, “I trust your rest in the divine domain has been pleasant.

“However, there is no more time for rest. The agreed-upon event is about to begin, so you must move with me.

“Do not let this battle weigh too heavily on your minds. Simply do your best.”

As soon as the Radiant Goddess finished speaking, she rose and flew directly out of the palace, signaling for everyone to follow.

Outside the palace, a carriage had stopped at some point.

It was, of course, nothing like the carriages of the mortal world; its massive cabin was like a mobile palace.

The creatures pulling the carriage were not ordinary horses either, but twelve pegasi with pure white coats and matching white wings.

The twelve pegasi floated in the air, waiting to pull the carriage.

Numerous angels hovered around the carriage, seemingly prepared to escort them.

“Everyone, get in,” the Radiant Goddess said, entering the massive cabin first.

Seeing this, Olivia was the first to follow her inside.

Witnessing Olivia's boldness, the other three finally followed suit.

Once they were all inside the carriage, the pegasi neighed. Their hooves, surrounded by clouds, stepped onto the void as they pulled the carriage forward.

The host of angels surrounded the carriage, flying down with it.

While the carriage looked like a palace from the outside, the interior was even more similar, complete with all the necessary furnishings.

However, Olivia and the others were in no mood to admire the carriage's splendor. After all, sharing a cabin with the Radiant Goddess made them all feel extremely tense.

The Radiant Goddess had originally intended to say something, but seeing how stiff her followers were, she simply curled her lip, not bothering to speak further.

Sometimes, not having a companion who could converse as an equal was a lonely thing.

The carriage traveled out of the Radiant Goddess's divine domain.

The so-called Divine Realm was composed of numerous divine domains.

Besides the Radiant Goddess's domain, there were the domains of other gods.

There were barriers between the different divine domains that were generally difficult to cross unless the master of the domain permitted entry or another deity forced their way in.

No life form that has not attained godhood can travel between divine domains on their own.

Of course, this referred to the domains of the gods.

Besides those, there were also public divine domains.

A public divine domain did not belong to any specific deity, and anyone could enter.

The location set for this competition among the gods was a public divine domain named Twilight.

The pegasi pulled the carriage through space, traveling at high speed. It did not take long for them to reach their destination.
