Mohe is actually quite busy.

Don't be fooled by her seemingly aimless wandering with Doro and the like all day, appearing unchecked. In reality, she has a lot to deal with lately.

Among them, the most important thing, naturally, is "burial."

The initial idea of establishing a Land of the Dead in the Ice and Snow Kingdom failed. She couldn't just keep the undead in her jug indefinitely. Although she personally didn't mind, Doro would probably be concerned about this as well. It wouldn't do if one day, when asked unexpectedly, she found out the undead had dispersed inside the jug into basic soul energy — that would be truly dreadful.

So, in fact, what she has been busy with recently is preparation for "going to the true Land of the Dead."

It's said that before the Elf Queen died, she sent many strong members of the Elven race to the depths of space to search for the Celestial Realm, to seek the Goddess.

Regarding this, Mohe could only laugh. What they might find in infinite space wouldn't be the Goddess at all, but rather some bizarre things, such as those they and the Goddess exiled upon their creation... so-called "ominous" entities.

The Goddess's Celestial Realm is a different concept; it can't be found through endless searching in space.

But Mohe had no intention of telling others about this. They wouldn't understand even if they were told. The true dwelling of the undead actually lies in the crevice between the Celestial Realm and this world. In other words, to reach the Celestial Realm, one must pass through the World of the Dead. If Mohe remembered correctly, the last civilization that knew how to reach the World of the Dead vanished thousands of years ago. She had no intention of telling the world how to reach that place.

Over such a time span, even the Elf Queen has gone through eight or nine iterations. Information loss is quite normal, especially since the Elves were very weak at that time, and not even qualified to access certain secrets.

Fortunately, the World Tree has been planted.

Honestly speaking, Mohe was somewhat reluctant to venture into the Realm of the Dead, as it is close to the Celestial Realm, where the Goddess might be watching, especially knowing that the Goddess has always been watching her. However, as it happens, Doro broke off with the Goddess; after the incidents involving the Elf Queen, Doro completely cut ties with the "Goddess." Whether it was Doro or the Goddess who initiated the break doesn't matter, in the current situation, visiting the Realm of the Dead shouldn't pose a problem.

Moreover, this could be considered helping Doro with a matter.

Even if the Goddess had a falling out with Doro, she shouldn't obstruct her in this regard. If she were to start a war with both Mohe and Doro at once, it's uncertain whether the Goddess could withstand it.

Thus, comparatively speaking, this matter is relatively safe.

Compared to this, other matters are mere trifles. She knows that Rose has already started attacking Doro. As for the outcome, she doesn't really mind. She believes she should moderately reduce her attention to Doro, since, no matter how you look at it, Doro has no reason to turn against her, which is quite reassuring.

The current state of Doro is "just right."

He holds a certain affection for her, is beyond human confines, yet hasn't completely abandoned the rudimentary human codes — it's excellent.

One could say it's the most perfect state. What she needs to do is merely prevent others from disturbing Doro's current state. Rose's petty antics don't warrant any attention. Perhaps after another hundred years, Doro's mindset might change, leaning closer to her, then the things he might do would become unpredictable, and at that time, the things to guard against would increase.

But, that will take at least another hundred years, right?

She can return to her peak condition in at most two years and, at that time, spending a hundred years plotting against Doro, while perhaps not entirely sufficient, shouldn't result in defeat like before. After all, Doro has come this far, and over the long years, time will gradually become a prison-like existence for him.

Mohe suppressed these thoughts at the bottom of her heart.

Those are not matters to consider at the moment.

Hence, after making appropriate preparations, Mohe found Elf and her sister Roland, along with Doro.

"Are you saying, the true Land of the Dead?"

Doro was stunned upon hearing Mohe's words: "Didn't you say before you were going to establish a Land of the Dead? From what you're saying now, it sounds like it didn't exist before... it actually does exist?"

"It doesn't exist in this world."

Mohe admitted frankly, "The church's description in the Holy Record is that souls return to the Goddess's embrace after death, right? That statement isn't exactly incorrect, as, in a sense, the Land of the Dead is indeed the Goddess's embrace — Her compassion and mercy for all beings... Though I find it embodies a bit of self-importance. She does love boasting of Her achievements, huh."

This prompts a question.

Doro and Elf didn't say anything, but Roland did.

"What exactly is your relationship with the Goddess?"

"Relationship?"

Mohe looked at Doro and Elf, noticed their puzzled expressions, and then understood: "I can't blame you for being suspicious about this... If you have to define a relationship, let me think, between myself and the Goddess... In human terms, it would be, lovers, right?"
