Novel Full 1006 Domain Expansion
“You want to study under us? Haven’t I trained you?” Ai raised her eyebrows.
“How to say… I feel that honing techniques from the spar is not enough. I need to learn a new skill and comprehend new knowledge. That way, I can make a breakthrough to ascend to the next level. Let’s say it as you made me a disciple.” Sylvia had thought carefully about what she would say, but she felt a bit nervous as she said it with her own mouth.
“That sounds good. You look calmer and more enlightened, but we don’t accept disciples. We are our own people, and you even call us sisters.” Ai was okay with it because it wasn’t much different from usual.
Honestly, she felt nostalgic because Elysia and her relationship at the first meeting were also that of a master disciple. She taught Elysia various techniques, and they quickly hit it off. Elysia also learned everything she taught.
“Although that sounds good, I feel that you misunderstood something. Learning a new skill and technique is a thing for you to acquire new knowledge, but our nature is darkness. We have gone through a countless battle and slaughtered, no enemies are standing before us. Do you know the true origin behind light and darkness?” Zera crossed her legs and put her hands in her lap.
“Light element is holy, and darkness is corruption?” Sylvia tried to guess based on her understanding.
“Your fire may corrode the enemy, but you only understand half of the basics. The pinnacle of light is creation, and darkness is the devourer. Destruction is one level below that of darkness true origin.” Zera took an apple, then made a black flame of devourer in his hand for demonstration.
The apple didn’t burn to ashes, but was swallowed up in the flames of darkness and vanished, leaving nothing behind.
Zera then took Celestia from Elysia’s bracelet realm and put her arm around Ai’s shoulder. “You are already one step towards Empress-level. Come with us out tomorrow to eliminate some colonies of cursed monsters or evil things that are bringing harm to the world. Master Ely wants to see a beautiful world, and they are not needed.”
“…” Elysia was at a loss for words. She just realized a fact about Ai and Zera’s power boost and insane level of comprehension.
Ai experienced a hell of void darkness and countless deadly battles in the Boundless Realm. Elysia was also there for three years, and they had already slaughtered so many enemies.
Meanwhile, Zera had seven of Ruvoid’s core and God’s fragment converted under holy light. She slaughtered all the enemies without Elysia’s knowledge in a relatively short amount of time, leaving nothing behind.
“Darkness element power holders have to go through the path of slaughter first? I see, so it’s like that.” Sylvia enlightened once again. She could see a great opportunity to ascend to the Empress level.
She immediately bowed in respect and gratitude. “Thank you for your guidance, sisters. I will join you on tomorrow’s expedition.”
“Good, the three of us will be testing out a new skill tonight, and let’s see what we can possibly pull out. Ah, Celestia will be joining as well.” Zera nodded with satisfaction.
“Hmm, alright then.” Ai shrugged.
“Don’t overdo it, okay?” Elysia gave some suggestions as she had no intention of stopping them.
“Ugh, my head… Wait, what? The three darkness joined force? Hey, you, the girl with curse-like power. You have the breath and smell of accursed creatures. Tell me, why would you be willing to serve someone like Elysia? She is a candidate Goddess with the divine holy light that can harm you.” Sorush held his head and got up, pointing his finger at Zera with a slight muddle-head.
“I mean, why not? Since when was there a rule against such nonsense, drunkard ghost? Also, Master Ely will never harm us. Wait, how bold of you to assume Master Ely’s power origin. You underestimate our master so much, ignorant stupid ghost.” Zera squinted her eyes, and looked down on the drunkard ghost like she was looking at some dirt. The ignorant was a thing, but the foolish one was something she couldn’t tolerate.
“Huh, what do you mean by that? How dare you insult me.” Sorush frowned. He was still sober, regardless of the intoxicating effect of the ghostly wine.
“Master Ely can wield darkness power too. She can even pull the dark fire to freeze objects, or dark mist to heal someone. Nothing can prevent her from doing anything because our master is the law, the true Supreme Goddess! She is-” Zera spread her hands and shared her euphoria like a crazy devout believer.
“Zera, you talk too much.” Elysia closed her eyes and pinched Zera’s waist. How could Zera say that confidently when she had never done anything like that before?
“This servant is wrong, master. Please forgive me.” Zera apologized, but she was still panting with a big smile that was a bit creepy. She quickly rubbed her face and returned to her elegant and calm manner.
The atmosphere was silent for a few seconds until Rhea immediately changed the subject to break the ice. She blamed that drunk ghost for making the situation a bit awkward.
Once the night became late, the dinner feast ended, and everyone decided to rest.
Elysia spent her time alone in her room. It was a rare occasion because she always had someone sleeping next to her, but not this time. Elena was also not in the Elysian Realm due to the punishment, and was currently under Rhea’s care.
Elysia lay on her bed as she meditated in her dreamland, trying to reconstruct her mind scope to manifest her own domain.
Everyone at Saint-level or above usually has their own domain. The field was created on their own comprehension of the law, but Elysia had just started constructing one. She used the divine space law that she understood the most, and used that as her domain primary law.
“My rule is absolute in dreamland, similar to Elysian Realm. I can manifest my domain soon. Realm of Origin, Domain Expansion!” Elysia cast her spell to trigger her domain activation.
*Zap* *Shatter*
The space around Elysia’s body collapsed like shattered glass, and the room became like a boundless universe. All mortal objects disappeared somewhere.
Elysia opened her eyes, and flew around the empty space. She was bathed in the light and glitter of the stars, and plucked a nearby little one at will.
“Shooting stars.” Elysia spoke softly.
Hundreds of stars fell in the direction she pointed, destroying a particular meteoroid. Her will and desire created everything, but the domain area was still relatively narrow.
Elysia thought of trying other things, but a particular soul fox came into her view. Luna floated in an awkward position in the middle of space, and tried to swim closer, but finally gave up.
“Ely? Where are we?” Luna straightened her back.
“I’m trying to manifest my domain. But how did you get in here, Luna?” Elysia needed clarification.
“I don’t know. I was in the corridor and might have been trapped inside your domain upon activation. Hmm, your domain is so beautiful and broken, Ely. I’m nothing more than a helpless little girl here. I can’t do anything as if my power is sealed. Uuh, I can’t even control my floating position.” Luna felt a bit strange that she was floating like an object. When she arrived near Elysia, her body was turned upside down.
“Yeah, sorry. You accidentally got stuck in my domain training.” Elysia rewrote the rules of her domain and allowed Luna permission to float freely.
“Hmm, that’s good for training, but you also need rest.” Luna appreciates the help. She adjusted her position, then floated beside Elysia.
“I’ll sleep after this. Tomorrow, I’ll probably join Ai and Zera to train and expand my domain in battle.” Elysia released the little star.
“Alright then. Anyway, Ely… I may not be in the position to say or ask this, but are you and your master at odds? This is the first time I’ve seen you not getting along with her.” Luna expresses her worry and concern.
“She is currently being punished so she can reflect on her actions. We are not at odds or anything.” Elysia blinked her eyes with an innocent look.
“Oh, so it was just my misunderstanding. I’m glad everything’s all right.” Luna breathed a sigh of relief.
*Shatter*

*Poof*
Luna fell on the bed. She stared at the wall questioningly. So, previously she was really in a separate dimension, and she literally broke through the wall.
“You need to return to your room. I will sleep in serenity and cultivate in my dreamland.” Elysia pointed her palm towards the door.
“Uhm, can you please allow me to stay, Ely? I will watch over you by your side. I promise I won’t disturb your serene meditation, but I will help right away in case anything goes wrong.” Luna came up with an idea because she was still worried. She knew Elysia was never alone in any situation, or rather, no one would let Elysia alone for long.
Elysia just nodded without any word. She sometimes wanted to be alone to rearrange her thoughts, but she couldn’t refuse Luna’s caring request.
On second thought, now was the first situation where Elena wasn’t around because of her wish. If there was no urgent circumstance, Elena was always around her.
She felt a bit guilty and wondered if she was overreacting to Elena. However, Elena was too much, and she had to pull Elena’s reins and stand her ground soon. Or else, her pitiful, helpless spirit would remain as Elena’s plaything.
