When Gwen arrived in the hall, Alicia swiftly ended her chat with Eden, rose to her feet, and fluttered over to Gwen like a dancing butterfly.
"A new day begins with a wonderful encounter."
"Of course."
Meeting the girl's expectant gaze, Gwen nodded gladly.
"With Alicia around, every day is filled with beauty and hope."
"Mm..."
At his words, Alicia's smile grew even brighter. She spun around Gwen like a butterfly. "That's right, you should praise me more often, okay~?"
After accompanying Alicia to the side hall and greeting Eden, Gwen brought up his plan to continue exploring the Elysian Realm today.
"Isn't that a little too risky?"
Eden gently furrowed her delicate brows.
"You haven't fully recovered yet. If something happens again, I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it during the trial."
"Don't worry, Sister Eden. I may not have returned to perfect condition yet, but my overall strength has already surpassed what it was when I first entered the Elysian Realm.
Besides, for most people, Cosmo isn't a power that can improve through silent cultivation alone—
If a Saint wants to grow stronger, they need grueling battles, seeking opportunities for breakthroughs on the brink between life and death."
"But..."
Eden still wanted to say something, but Alicia spoke first.
"Mm... Since you've made your decision, then go and do it boldly!
A stubborn flower will never lose its color because of a storm. Your determination will surely allow your True Self to bloom even in desperate circumstances!"
"Mm, it will."
After meeting Alicia's rippling eyes for a moment, Gwen nodded softly and turned toward the entrance to the trial.
Without waiting for Eden to ask anything, Alicia made a silencing gesture.
Once Gwen entered the trial, Alicia immediately got up and ran toward the trial
