Chapter 42: Moon Spirit Leopard Cub and Soul Return Ceremony

William and his companions quickly returned to the foot of the mountain.

With the help of Jason and Nichole, Elena had already cleaned up the body of the moon spirit leopard, waiting to send it back to the realm of the elven goddess using an elven ritual.

Jason also took two claws and some fur from the moon spirit leopard as proof of completing the mission.

At this moment, William walked over, holding something in his arms.

Approaching Elena, William handed her a small black bundle wrapped in cloth.

"Look, guess what I found?"

Elena was puzzled, but she took the small object handed to her by William and glanced at it, freezing in place.

A cute little head peeked out from the cloth, its eyes still tightly shut. The small black body squirmed restlessly in the cloth, its pink paws struggling a bit uneasily. It seemed a little disoriented by leaving its familiar environment, constantly "humming" in protest.

"Is this... a moon spirit leopard cub?"

Jason, standing nearby, also saw the little fellow. It was unmistakably a miniature version of the moon spirit leopard lying on the ground next to it!

"Wow, it's so cute!"

Nichole's eyes sparkled as she stared at the little creature. Girls had no resistance to such fluffy creatures.

"William, where did you find it? I want one too!"

Remembering William as the one who initiated this, Nichole quickly asked.

"I saw the moon spirit leopard roar towards the mountain before it died, which was strange, so I went to look around and unexpectedly made this discovery."

William waved his hand, saying, "I can't help you find another one. Maybe we'll talk about it if there's a chance in the future."

"Ah, okay then." Nichole felt a bit disappointed but quickly ran over to Elena's side, wanting to hold the moon spirit leopard cub.

Ignoring Nichole's coquetry, Elena held the little baby tightly in her arms. It seemed to sense the closeness and nestled quietly in Elena's embrace, calming down considerably.

Elena looked up, her eyes slightly red.

"Thank you, William. I don't know how to thank you."

Elena squatted down, one hand holding the cub and the other gently stroking the fur on the neck of the moon spirit leopard mother.

In special circumstances where the soul couldn't return to the realm of the gods, someone could hold a soul return ceremony to open the door to the divine realm and guide the lost soul.

Of course, this required the consent of the owner of the divine realm, and the goddess Clemena would naturally not refuse the soul of a moon spirit leopard.

Elena's preparation should be for the soul return ceremony of the moon and guardian goddess Clemena.

William and the others stepped aside, waiting for the ceremony to begin.

Elena stood in front of the moon spirit leopard, taking out the emblem of the goddess Clemena from her storage ring.

It was a shield-shaped emblem in the verdant green color of the pristine silver moon!

Then she took out morning dew, a branch from the tree of life, and a green gem imbued with unique vitality.

After preparing all the ceremonial items, Elena gently knelt down, closed her eyes, clasped her hands together, and devoutly recited:

"Great and merciful goddess Clemena!

You are the embodiment of the silver moon in the night sky!

You are the guardian deity of the elves!

You are the protector of the rangers!

We offer all our praises, gratitude, and honor to you!

Your faithful here pray to you with sincerity,

Please open the door,

Let this wandering child return to your warm embrace!"

{ A/N: I have changed the name of moon goddess. Its shameful to say, but i forgot previous name and also lost my notes for this novel. So this name will continue from now on. Please comment on this paragraph with chapter number where goddess was first mentioned and i will edit it. Thanks }

With Elena's prayer, a faint silver and green light appeared from the offerings, forming an illusory silver gate in the air.

Even though William was just watching from a distance, he felt the irresistible divine aura of this seemingly weak power. Even without perceiving any threat, it seemed that a heavy pressure fell on his shoulders.

Is this the aura of divine power?

Even though he had witnessed scenes of divine incarnations battling countless times in his past life, this was the first time he had personally witnessed the display of the vast power of the divine. Just the slightest breath made him unable to move.

William's mind was racing, but his eyes remained fixed on the scene of the ceremony in front of him, not daring to miss anything.
