Why Am I a Priestess When I Reach the Maximum Level?-Chapter 138[Vol. 5] - Creation of Heaven and Earth

[Vol. 5] Chapter 138: Creation of Heaven and Earth

Something seemed to have appeared in this place just now.

Without hesitation, the girl immediately walked step by step toward the location where she sensed the strange presence.

To be honest, due to the overwhelming presence and aura of the blood cocoon, the only visible living thing in the cave. It was like a firefly next to a high-powered spotlight. Even Violet had almost missed the brief flash of energy nearby.

Fortunately, she had seen something similar before, which allowed her to catch it at the critical moment and pinpoint the exact location.

She arrived at an empty corner and reached out her hand, as if she were stroking or searching for something.

But soon, she frowned.

That sudden appearance and then instant disappearance of the abnormal energy. Unlike last time, it had not been captured clearly by the priestess, almost as if it had been a mere illusion.

However, Violet knew very well that she wasn’t dizzy or hallucinating. This could only mean one thing.

The “entrance” here was of a higher level than the ones she had encountered before, and it was far more concealed. Using ordinary means would never allow her access, she would need something akin to a key.

“A key, huh…”

She glanced at the ?Blood of Dawn? in her other hand. Though this piece of equipment had reached the level of a sacred-tier artifact, and the earlier energy fluctuation seemed to have been triggered by it, it was clear that this wasn’t the right key for the entrance.

Fortunately, even though she didn’t have a key, there were still other ways to enter.

However, this method was going to be a bit rough.

The girl extended her hand, and a mysterious, indescribable tree sprouted before transforming into a sleek, silver scalpel.

The silver blade flew into the air, deftly flipping a few times in her palm, and then, suddenly, she slashed it through the air in front of her.

“Shrrrip!”

A crisp sound, like fabric being torn, echoed abruptly. Where the silver blade had cut through the space, a visible, strange mark appeared and gradually expanded, eventually forming a silver portal large enough for a person to pass through.

“Mhm… as expected, this thing is pretty handy. I may not understand all that space-folding or space-reflection theory, but just cutting through it is still quite easy~”

She chuckled to herself, glancing back at the pulsating blood cocoon in mid-air. Without doing anything more, she stepped through the silver door.

……………………

The world beyond the door was unexpectedly calm.

No ferocious monsters or sudden demon attacks. The scene before the priestess shifted for just a moment before it quickly brightened again.

It was no longer the dark, lightless cave. Instead, it was even more magical and wondrous.

Violet looked around and then down to examine her surroundings.

Beneath her feet was a red “light screen” that flowed like blood, solid underfoot, stretching endlessly into the distance. When she looked up, she saw hundreds and thousands of blood-red beams descending from the sky, along with countless swaying bloodlines, and at the highest point in the sky, a vast, hazy blur of shadows.

Other than the countless blood-red beams and threads connecting heaven and earth, there was almost nothing else around.

“What is this…?”

Even with the priestess’s extensive knowledge, she couldn’t immediately understand what this hidden space was.

In complete silence, it seemed as if the concept of “sound” didn’t exist in this world, with only the black-haired girl as an exception, intruding upon this realm.

But as she moved forward, large waves of light suddenly surged from the blood-red screen beneath her feet, transforming into a grand, silent thunderbolt that shot up into the sky!

At the same time, from within the hazy shadows above, a colossal figure, nearly a hundred meters tall, dove downwards. It unleashed an intense, radiant light, just as powerful as the blood-red lightning rising to meet it!

The two forces collided midair, exploding into a massive storm so violent that even the blood-red pillars swayed lightly in its wake.

“…?”

The girl paused, her footsteps halted, her face slowly revealing an expression of realization and surprise.

It seemed like she understood.

How unbelievable…

There was no doubt—this was a mirror world.

However, this world was different from the perfectly replicated reflection of the Forgotten Land. This world was inverted compared to the real one.

What did this mean?

It meant that the “ground” Violet was standing on, the blood-red light screen, was actually the sky of the real world, and the countless shadows above her head were the reflections of all things on the earth!

A sudden realization flashed through her mind like lightning, and she seemed to understand the true nature of the “Inverted” in the term ?Blood of the Inverted Cross?.

But the question was, what was the significance of this inverted world?

With this question in mind, the priestess continued forward.

Her goal was clear, for if there was one major difference between this mirror world and the real one, it would be… the distant spot in the sky where countless blood-red threads converged like a funnel.

Having realized what this world truly was, the meaning of those bloodlines also became obvious.

Wasting no more time, Violet spread the ?Divine Wings? and flew full speed toward her destination.

Soon, she arrived.

What appeared before her was an even more awe-inspiring scene.

Just a dozen meters above the “ground,” a magnificent throne formed from blood-red light floated quietly. Countless bloodlines surged down from the sky, converging like rivers flowing into the sea, connecting to a cocoon on the throne, almost identical to the one in the outside world.

Although its appearance showed no noticeable differences, for some reason, the cocoon on this throne did not exude the same sinister or overwhelming terror and bloodlust as the one outside.

Instead, it radiated a faint, almost indescribable beauty or a noble air that couldn’t be easily put into words.

It was unbelievable, but it was true.

“Oh…”

The girl let out a soft murmur, a sound that conveyed both surprise and a sense of realization.

Two subtle, familiar sensations finally overlapped in her mind at that moment.

Indeed, this was the true form of the blood cocoon outside in the cave… No wonder there was no guarding force in the cave, and the demons were forbidden from entering.

Because the cocoon in the real world was nothing but a decoy, a trap. If the priestess had chosen to destroy it at that time, not only would it have failed to break the ?Blood of the Inverted Cross? curse, but it might have triggered even more severe consequences.

The purpose of this mirrored world, perhaps, was to swap out the reflected blood cocoon, protecting it and allowing this true cocoon to absorb power and nurture whatever was growing inside.

Of course, the reason why the heavens and earth were inverted might contain some deeper, more profound meaning that Violet had not yet fully comprehended. But that wasn’t the most pressing concern right now.

What mattered most was this scene…

Rather than saying it resembled the ?Cocoon of Blasphemy? in the Forgotten Land, it was more accurate to say that both of them seemed to be imitating a form with some special significance—

—the image of the doll-like girl seated on a strange throne, deep underground in the ?Holy Spirit Trail?, her body connected to countless tubes, echoed once again in the priestess’ mind.

Did it not bear an uncanny resemblance to the scene before her now?
