Chapter 444 God

"God?" 

Arya was hearing the conversation from the side and couldn't help but ask as she heard her mother-in-law say that.

Lilith turned around and said to Arya with a smile, "daughter-in-law, you don't know things yet, do you?"

Arya was confused. "What things?" 

Lilith, instead of explaining, asked, "can you tell me about the ranks in this world and the realms as well." 

Arya didn't question Lilith about why she would ask that. She simply answered, "There's two realms. Mortal realms and immortal realms. Mortal realms have Rank 1 to 9 and immortal realms are from Saint Rank to Supreme Rank. Is there something wrong with it?" 

Lilith shook her head. "It isn't wrong. It just needs a bit of changing."

She then explained, "Immortal realms aren't till Supreme Rank, they end at Emperor Rank." 

"Hmm?" Now this was something surprising that Arya was hearing.

Lilith continued, "there's a realm above the immortal realm."

"A realm above?" Arya seriously looked at Lilith with her beautiful blue eyes as she asked that. It wasn't her material body that was inside the Astral World and so she didn't have a blindfold on*.

Lilith nodded. "That's right." 

"It's the God realm." 

"What?" Arya was surprised.

"You can be a true God if you are in this realm." Lilith answered with a smile. She was kind of expecting an even more exaggerated reaction, but sadly Arya didn't give her any other than surprise.

Arya stopped talking and stood still. This was a lot to process. God realm, above immortal realm… realm above realm… just what was going on? 

She then rubbed her temples slightly as it was harder to digest this information than she initially thought about.

Looking at her think about things so hard, Lilith chuckled said, "You wouldn't have faced this problem, had you been cultivating like normal people and among the commoners of this world." 

"Commoners? I was cultivating like a normal person, there wasn't anything extra done." Arya replied.

Lilith shook her head. "You don't know. Having knowledge about immortal realms is forbidden in itself here in this world. Many don't know about it and the higher ranked powers hide it from them. This is both good and bad."

"It's good because the ones who are innately strong and geniuses from birth still end up rising in ranks but bad because there are many who would rank up if given the right information."

"Anywho, that's something completely different. What I meant is, the low rank people don't know that there are realms above the mortal realms. To them, even Rank 9s appear like gods." 

Arya understood what Lilith was trying to tell. "I understand. So if I am not wrong, a commoner, if told this same information, would not have as much of a hard time as me, right?" 

Lilith nodded. "Correct." 

"Phew. It can't be helped." Arya said while exhaling.

She then asked, "So all things aside, am I in the God realm now that I am a Supreme Rank?" 

Lilith shook her head once again. "You're not a god yet. You're transitioning from one realm to another. It's the same as how one is after becoming a Half Saint. They aren't immortals and they aren't mortals either. They're transitioning and are thus termed pseudo immortals."

"In the case of god realms, Supreme Rank beings are called Demigods and aren't into the boundary of God realm yet. Once you ascend from this stage, you'll be a full fledged True God." 

Lilith's explanation was easy to understand and it didn't take time for Arya to digest it.

Lucy at the side was bored with the conversation of these two people. She already had some ideas about it and knew how things were. She just wanted to go find her brother and get out of this place.

Being bored, she walked towards the dead corpses and started kicking them like footballs and played around while Arya and Lilith talked.

Arya asked after a while, "What is the rank above the Supreme Rank called?" 

Lilith smiled and answered, "Legendary." 

"I see." Arya nodded in understanding. "Is there anyone in this world of this rank?"

"There is one person." Lilith answered.

"Who?" Arya was now curious.

"Me." 

"WHAT!?" Arya yelled loud enough in surprise to stop Lucy from kicking the corpses and look at her. "Are you serious!?" 

Lilith chuckled. "Why would I lie?" 

Arya facepalmed. "Oh my… I had a god as my mother-in-law all this while?" 

"Fufufu… indeed." 

"How did you know—"

BOOOOM!

Arya's sentence was cut short as a golden beam of light shot straight up in the heavens of the Astral World.

The gray world finally got some radiance and Lilith, Lucy, and Arya's faces became serious.

"It's Lith."

They all said in unison. 

"We should hurry." Lilith suggested and the three people immediately forgot about all things related to God realms and went straight towards their beloved husband.

Few minutes ago…

Lith was wandering along the forests of the Astral World and by just roaming, he once again reached the Ying Yang fishes.

"Why did I come here again?" Lith was confused and couldn't help but say.

He put his guard up and stayed far away from the two fishes. 

If it weren't for the fact that these two fishes let out a powerful aura from them, Lith would've made a sushi out of them and would feed it to Dennis.

But it was still very strange to once again arrive here like this.

Lith was only just observing them when…

Hisssss!

He heard a snake hiss a few metres away from him.

Thankfully the sound was in the opposite direction as him and Lith wasn't in any danger.

Lith looked towards the source of the noise and soon saw a giant green snake appear. He then saw the snake coil around a tree and guard some fruits from the two fishes.

The two fishes were angry and they started attacking the snake.

The snake fought back and an intense battle took place near the pond.

Lith was invested in this battle and he watched them fight with great interest.

These three creatures didn't look like they were from Lith's world as he had never come across any creature that had auras like them.

However, Lith hadn't even explored one percent of his world and he wasn't sure if they belonged to this world or some other one.

The Ying Yang fishes entangled together after a while and they sent some invisible attack towards the snake that Lith wasn't sure what was.

The attack ended up causing the space around the snake to tear and a good chunk of the snake's flesh went inside it.

The snake guarded itself and closed the space rifts. It ate a fruit from the tree and healed itself.

Looking at the snake gobble up a fruit, the anger of the fishes intensified and they sent waves after waves of attack towards the snake.

The snake defended and attacked and tried its best to guard the fruits.

While all of this happened, Lith became too invested in these new attacks and ways of defending. He hadn't seen these techniques in any manuscripts at home and it was definitely a delight.

Lith's guard was slightly lowered as he assumed that when two high ranking creatures fought, small fries won't come around as they would be scared of the auras of these two.

But he was wrong as right in the next moment, a brown snake appeared behind him and hissed loudly, startling Lith and making him fall from the tree he was sitting on.

Lith was in the midst of stabilizing himself from the fall and getting out of the battlefield of the snake and fishes when the fruit he was holding before accidentally ended up going inside his mouth.

Just a slight amount of juice entered Lith's mouth and eventually…

BOOOOM!
