The Goddess's Promise

"Hmm? Wasn't I asleep? How did I suddenly end up here?"

A cool breeze brushed across his cheeks.

Evan, who had been sleeping, slowly opened his eyes, only to discover in astonishment that he was floating in a boundless silver sea.

The liquid filling this sea was not water, but some strange substance that allowed people to breathe freely. It felt like the air in a forest after a thunderstorm—natural and fresh.

There was no distinction between up, down, or any direction here. Soft clouds of light drifted slowly above and below him, while gray and white ribbons of light continuously churned, reflecting even more distant stars.

At an extreme distance where even the Insight Magic Eye's "Remote Viewing" struggled to reach,

large and small floating islands, shattered rocks, lakes, lava belts, and other things resembling physical objects from the Material World drifted faintly in sight, suggesting that ordinary life might exist here.

Evan soon discovered that his body had once again become the way it had looked when he was twelve or thirteen, faintly radiating golden divine light from within.

What had come here was clearly not his physical body, but only his soul.

After briefly looking around,

his extensive mystical knowledge allowed him to recognize that this was no longer the Material World, but the "Heavenly Realm" where the Divine Kingdoms of the gods were located, also known as the "Sea of Stars"!

The discovery made Evan's body tremble slightly. If anyone could silently draw the soul of a Divinity Creature into the Heavenly Realm,

the answer could only be a true god!

Just then,

Evan suddenly felt a powerful sensation of weightlessness and, unable to resist at all, fell toward an immense star far away, surrounded by seawater and faintly accompanied by the sound of waves.

Tap!
