Chapter 1081: The Four-eared Elves' New Sanctuary
Patriarch Rylan looked at the sight before him, overwhelmed. He had dreamt of a day like this for a long time but never believed it would come to pass.
"How long will it take to completely build the Four-eared Elves' new residence?" Orion asked, shifting his focus toward Patriarch Rylan.
"With the Tree Nymphs' and the Prismerions' help, it will take less than three months," Patriarch Rylan swiftly assured.
Orion nodded silently. He wanted to check if he would be around during its completion, but it seemed he wouldn't be. He could only wait until Ilse awakened so she could help him replicate Solara's Divine Eye. Then, they would begin their exploration of the outside world.
Patriarch Rylan hesitated before speaking and steeling his resolve. "Chief, I hope you'll indulge my curiosity. I've been wanting to ask about these individuals," he said, his gaze flickering toward Iris, Flintor and the other Prismerion Divine Apostles.
It all started a week ago when they initiated training sessions with the Four-eared Elves' chosen ones. Initially, they thought the newcomers were merely willing to lend a helping hand.
However, witnessing their eagerness to assist the Four-eared Elves, they grew suspicious. Only after some time did they reveal their identity as the Prismerions' Divine Apostles. They were stunned and didn't know how to react.
To them, the Divine Apostles were beings of a higher existence, a truth they were still adjusting to, especially after Crystalia's incident and Iris's complete devouring of a Malevolent Spirit Beast. Furthermore, he was worried about their safety and the Divine Apostles' intentions.
"You don't have to worry; their intentions are pure. They simply want to get along with the Four-eared Elves to make it easier to integrate and learn how to connect with the spirit realm," Orion replied with a smile.
He decided to support the Divine Apostles, knowing their efforts might seem insincere if they expressed this themselves.
A look of realization emerged on Patriarch Rylan's face, and a smile spread across his lips. Is this how it feels to be respected by the other races within Paradise?
Dariya soon approached and hugged Orion, burying herself under his arm and enjoying his presence. It wasn't every day that she managed to have such a private moment with Orion alone.
Isadora watched the scene with an amused expression. She was already aware of the dynamics within Orion's family, so she understood the reasons behind Dariya's actions.
She found it curious because the affection they showed for one another was contagious. If she hadn't been aware of Orion's other wives, she might have thought they were just a couple with Grace as their child.
Isadora quickly shook off the thought to avoid dwelling on the matter and focused on their current task.
Ilse was slowly beginning to dread waking up.
The first time she awoke, her godly being felt like it was being moulded like clay with water, breathing new life into her. Her eyes widened as memories of her former self-none of which contained information about what had happened to her-flooded her mind.
The memories were more numerous than the reincarnations of a mortal life. Unfortunately, there was no information about how she ended up in her current situation. The memories included who she was and how she could reach that point again.
And for some reason, the divine mysteries detested her resurrection.
Then, a mortal assaulted her. She had wanted to react, to extinguish his soul and mince his flesh with the earth below.
To show the futility of his efforts by trying to bridge the gap between life and death and a divine being was more inconceivable than an animal in a choir heralding the ascent of a
mortal to godhood.
But she couldn't!
