In accordance with the imagination of Miss Priestess, the portion of SP that separated from the “Violet figure” in her mind gradually reassembled into her original form outside her body.

This was a miraculous experience that was difficult to imagine and describe. Through the eyes of this “SP body,” Violet actually saw herself standing still with closed eyes, emitting a faint jade-like glow from her arms, and the golden-haired girl standing beside her, looking around.

As if noticing this gaze, Xiao Guang suddenly looked towards “Violet” with a smile that was usually reserved for her master.

At this moment, Sethlin’s voice also sounded just right—interestingly, even though she had separated from the body, Violet could still hear the stone statue’s thoughts placed on her main body. This was not because Sethlin’s power had increased, but because this kind of existence, similar to a “substitute,” still had a clear and strong connection with the main body.

【It seems you have succeeded. This is the basic application method of the power of the soul—incarnation. It is also the most common means used by us gods to respond to the prayers of our followers.】

【You can directly control the incarnation’s movements, but in this case, ordinary beings cannot perceive its existence. Alternatively, you can follow the causal relationships of faith to cross space and descend, or even let the incarnation rely on certain inanimate objects or weak creatures with devout beliefs to achieve physical contact.】

【This is also what believers call ‘the descent of a god.’】

【Ah… I see.】

Violet nodded somewhat understandingly. Interestingly, perhaps because she was not yet proficient, when the SP incarnation nodded, the main body standing beside it also made the same movement.

【Wait, Sethlin, I suddenly thought of a question. If I keep dividing my thoughts like this every day, won’t I end up with split personality disorder like you did before?】

【I’ve told you, that wasn’t split personality… Don’t worry, the division of the Goddess of Earth back then was due to the world’s rejection, combined with the periodic changes caused by the uniqueness of the divine nature. It was mainly because there were some issues with the life and [Withering] divinities themselves, which under normal circumstances wouldn’t happen.】

【Regardless of how many incarnations are separated, there will only be one deity. Otherwise, who would dare to use such a dangerous ability?】

【Well… how do we anchor the coordinates now, Teacher Sethlin?】

【Now that the most difficult step is done, the rest is simple. Before the divine soul incarnation attaches to a physical entity, it won’t be affected by any forces from the realm of reality. You directly use the incarnation to traverse the tower to reach the destination, then use it as an anchor point to guide and perform another teleportation. Naturally, you will reach the top of the tower.】

【I see! No wonder you’re Teacher Sethlin!】

Sethlin didn’t continue speaking, probably completely speechless about being repeatedly addressed as “Teacher” by Miss Priestess.

So, Violet left her original body in place and attempted to control this new “soul incarnation” to ascend.

The process went very smoothly, indeed as Sethlin had said. This body, purely constructed from SP, completely defied physical norms. Violet could freely control it, floating around like a ghost. The thick walls and defensive magic arrays seemed like nothing, allowing her to move effortlessly.

The normal movement speed of the incarnation seemed to be entirely based on Violet’s imagination and the strength of the SP. With experience in using the “Divine Feathers” for super-fast flight, although the Sky Temple’s height surprised her, in less than half a minute, Violet’s incarnation had already rushed out of the tower top and arrived outside.

As she passed through the floors along the way, they were exactly as Miss Priestess had guessed—almost identical spatial magic arrays, completely empty.

She didn’t count the exact number of floors, but there were at least a thousand. The construction and maintenance of this tower definitely involved magical factors.

Of course, what puzzled Violet the most was that even when she reached the highest floor and passed through to the top of the tower, she didn’t see anything worth admiring. The top floor was just like the ones below, only the area was considerably smaller.

“…………?”

This was already in the center of the clouds, surrounded by swirling mist, yet it couldn’t affect Violet in any way. Miss Priestess’s incarnation looked around for a while, puzzled. Just as she was puzzled, suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck her!

Looking upwards.

“Damn!”

Both the incarnation and the original body, still left below, couldn’t help but curse. Above this spire, there was actually a floating island!

An island on an island, the true Sky Temple.

But to call it an island was more like a small piece of land, or a palace, raised in some special way.

That resplendent floating palace, in this nearly ten thousand meters high sky, truly seemed otherworldly, evoking the divine atmosphere of overlooking the mortal realm, making Violet couldn’t help but think of various fantastical myths on Earth.

“Master?”

【Violet? What happened? Did Seth notice you?】

The original body suddenly spoke, obviously also catching the attention of Sethlin and the dragon girl. Violet, somewhat unskilled, switched control of the original body and shook her head, explaining to them what she saw.

Upon hearing this, the dragon lady’s face immediately showed a strange expression.

“In that case, why don’t we just fly up there?”

“No, if I’m not mistaken, although the palace in the sky is not directly connected to the tower body, the barriers guarding them should be integrated. Unless we forcibly break them, we still have to use the teleportation array below to get in.”

“Tsk…”

The dragon girl clicked her tongue unhappily but didn’t say anything further.

【In that case, Violet should quickly enter that palace and establish an anchor point. To be honest, I’m also eager to know what Minerva did after all, and whether she’s safe now…】

【Hmm.】

Indeed, Miss Priestess had also long awaited the truth. Immediately, she controlled the incarnation to continue ascending and entered the real Sky Temple above the spire.

There were no barriers on the walls. In the blink of an eye, Violet had reached her destination.

Here…

Was truly interesting.

It wasn’t noticeable from the outside, but upon entering, Violet discovered that the walls of the entire palace were transparent.

To be precise, they were transparent outward, but nothing could be seen inward. Violet had seen something similar in the underground auction house of the already destroyed Spris Island.

It seemed that at least part of the construction of this palace was done by the winged people.

The structure of this place was somewhat like a pavilion enlarged several times. It was circular with a roof on top. Surrounding the seemingly transparent walls on the inner edge stood a ring of stone pillars. The floor was covered with smooth, white tiles, and in the center of the peculiar platform, a hexagonal crystal glistened.

There were people here, quite a few of them.

Several figures dressed in ritual robes stood around the platform, seemingly infusing light into the white-feathered woman in their midst. A tiger person named Kunnir stood anxiously beside them in armor.

And outside the scene, battling with something, was the Feathered Emperor, Estini.
