Seeing that she had already decided, Joanna no longer hesitated, nodded to everyone, and softly encouraged:

"Sisters, for the glory of the Goddess."

"Let's set out to meet this challenge!"

Embarking on the Misty Mountains is an exceedingly perilous journey, and they had prepared to face various dangers.

...

However, the journey ahead was unexpectedly quiet.

They carefully followed behind the centaur heroic spirit, slowly moving through the mist filled with eerie atmosphere, and surprisingly encountered no danger at all.

Well, not entirely without encounter.

As the surroundings became increasingly sinister and terrifying, they saw numerous demon corpses and chaotic footprints.

Corpses of various demons scattered all around, except a few wolf race corpses that still retained some flesh and skin, while most had been gnawed clean, leaving only stark white bones.

The distribution of these corpses was completely random, as if after fierce battles or some sort of mad pillage.

Occasionally, distant wolf howls could be heard, as if numerous vicious wolves were lurking in the shadows, yet none were visible no matter how one looked.

Are there demon wolf packs migrating?

This thought tightened the priests' hearts.

If the demon groups are indeed migrating en masse, then the situation in the Misty Mountains could be even more dangerous than they imagined!

"Don't think too much."

As the backbone of the team, Joanna tried her best to comfort the others.

Among the entire team, only one person was unbothered.

The divine favorer Yunier bounced around beside Sofia, constantly talking to her, attempting to sit on her horse's back — all refused.

"Eh? Just let me sit for a bit~"

"No."

"Just a little bit, just for a bit!"

"No."

After asking repeatedly several times, Yunier finally accepted reality and reluctantly gave up the idea.

"Alright, you're stingy."

"..."

With a pout, she looked unhappily at the legendary heroic spirit before her, while countless thoughts flashed through her mind.

"This heroic spirit doesn't have the aura I'm familiar with… Who is her master after all?"

"On the contrary, her aura belonging to the fog is very strong, one could say ninety percent of her soul is soaked."

"To reach this level, one must have soaked in the Misty Mountains for a long time… Has the arrangement been set up for many years?"

Joanna only felt that the heroic spirit was sent for them and felt respect and honor.

However, in Yunier's view… through the eyes of the Cold Winter Goddess, more details were perceived.

Different identities, different positions, different perspectives.

In Her view, the other side (the behind-the-scenes divine spirit) was showing sincerity, but more importantly, was demonstrating power.

The person behind the scenes is definitely not simple.

Moreover, she has hidden herself very well, leaving no trace of aura, making it impossible to infer the identity.

She strongly suspected her little kitten was being toyed with in someone's hands.

If earlier it was just suspicion, now the Cold Winter Goddess could be ninety percent sure.

Oh dear!

Based on her child's intelligence, getting tricked and still helping others count money, she must have been deceived!

That's why the Cold Winter Goddess became the divine favorer and mixed into this mission.

My little kitten is mine to save!

But even with such doubts in heart, She couldn't fully confirm—it was hard to find the other's motive.

"But what's the point of deceiving Hecayas? To sacrifice Him? Yet there hasn't been a real descent…"

This was the most puzzling point for the Cold Winter Goddess: what exactly did the other party seek?

There's no money to be gained, no rights, and the only somewhat valuable asset is the Divine Spirit Church.

So, is she trying to seize Her divine position?

The Ice and Snow Goddess's main divine position is only [Ice and Snow], which was split from Cold Winter Goddess's domain.

Such a weak and worthless divine position, there are few who can look up to it.

Seizing Ice and Snow Goddess's divine position yields little benefits, but the cost is high.

Everyone knows, once it happens, it will inevitably lead to the Cold Winter Goddess's most violent revenge.

That's why the Cold Winter Goddess is so assured leaving the Ice and Snow Goddess to wander outside.

The Cold Winter Goddess doesn't think someone capable of manipulating a legendary heroic spirit would covet a low-tier divine power god.

With these questions in mind, She did not act rashly but prepared to watch and see.

She wanted to see what exactly the counterpart intended!

It wouldn't really just be collaboration, helping a weak human establish a territory?

She didn't believe it.

Behind this, there must be a conspiracy!

...

Under Sofia's lead, some quickly passed through the heavy fog.

While walking through the fog, it felt as if the mist separated the world like a curtain, every step requiring utmost courage.

Yet when they crossed the final layer of mist, everything before them suddenly opened up, as if entering a completely different world.

"Wow…"

Someone let out an exclamation from her lips, expressing the sentiment of all — everything ahead differed entirely from their prior imagination.

Before arriving here, they had prepared for the worst, able to endure any harsh environment.

But now, the scene before them was so at odds with everything they had felt earlier.

Deep within this mist lay an extraordinarily beautiful picture unfolding before them, depicting a utopian Pure Land!
