Chapter 1841 Meeting Goddess Great Mother Again
"Thanks for coming here too, true inheritor of the Elder Ichor."
Simi spoke in a different style and voice than before. She stopped right in front of Eren and took a good look at him from head to toe before speaking in a warm voice.
"Although you have been a little too cautious in meeting me, I don't mind it. No matter who it is that you possess, I can see that it is indeed you."
Saith smiled when he heard the goddess' words. He shook his head before responding. "Yeah. It's not for you, my goddess; I don't trust this environment."
"Wise choice," the goddess nodded at Eren's words before asking him.
"Could you wait for a few hours before we get down to business? You see, they won't be able to quiet down otherwise," she said while looking in the distance where the voices and chants of her followers were coming from.
'Hm? Looks like this goddess actually has time to interact with her followers this time. Is it because of the kind of vessel she is possessing through her Divine Sense?'
Saith was surprised by how easy it was for the goddess to possess Simi and maintain her Divine Sense in Labh Salem this time. He had seen how time-bound she was when she had last appeared in Anfang. It seemed that there was a difference between the way she sent her Divine Sense to the mortal plane this time.
'These Immortals are the true wielders of the incarnation arts and avatar techniques. They don't even need Shallot's Mirror to achieve what I painstakingly achieved through various trials and errors in almost 5 years,' Eren said to himself and sighed.
Of course, he also understood that the Immortals had one solid advantage over him— their seemingly infinite lifespan. They had appeared way before him and obtained their respective divinities. If Eren doesn't elevate his status to godhood in the future, they will outlast him.
It was not surprising that these Immortals had their own ways to achieve similar or better results than Eren. Some Immortals already had multiple incarnations and avatars present in various worlds.
The goddess chatted with the summoned subjects and processed the current state of affairs in the world of Labh Salem from them. She showed peculiar interest whenever the news was related to the witches or the Goddess Two Lips.
The goddess didn't take long to form a set of plans to prepare her followers for the upcoming Hvergelmir Springs incident. With her undisputed authority, she galvanized the full force of the grand temple and various other temples dedicated to her faith all across Labh Salem.
A lot of the goddess' high-ranking followers received their own set of missions directly from the goddess. In return, they were offered the grand temple's accumulated resources as rewards. The goddess also promised to grant her blessings to a few individuals if and when they completed certain tasks she had handed to them.
The goddess also bestowed some of her capable followers with premium-grade Hex Artifacts. These artifacts, blessed by her divine powers, were bound to be passed down as divine heritage within the templars' ranks.

After a few hours.
Inside Eren's chamber. A private balcony that offered a wide view of the city that surrounded the goddess' grand temple.
The Goddess Great Mother and Eren, both possessing someone else's bodies, sat in front of each other by the table. Two sets of freshly brewed tea cups were served to both of them by the temple's caretakers before leaving them alone.
"Done with your work?" Eren asked the goddess as he lifted his porcelain cup and savored the refreshing taste of the tea. Even though he was drinking tea in front of a goddess, he didn't feel pressured at all.
"Unfortunately, no. I'm just getting started," the goddess gave a tired sigh like a mortal before lifting her cup as well. She closed her eyes and felt the tea getting down her throat as if she was experiencing this feeling after a very long time.
"Eren, what do you know about Goddess Two Lips?" the goddess asked when she opened her eyes and looked in Eren's, her tone curious.
