The Earth Goddess Helena Dis pondered her words before speaking, "Actually, the term 'God Realm' isn't entirely accurate. It should be called the Upper God Realm."
"Oh?" Xiao Mo was genuinely unaware of this. "Is there more to it than that?"
"Are there other explanations for this?"
Xiao Mo had summoned the Earth Goddess Helena Dis precisely because she was an ancient goddess. She had existed in this world for a far longer time than other deities and might possess knowledge unknown to others. It seemed, indeed, that the Earth Goddess Helena Dis knew a little something.
The Earth Goddess Helena Dis nodded. "That is indeed the case."
Xiao Mo mused, "If there's an Upper God Realm, then there should be a Lower God Realm. Could this Lower God Realm be the very plane we inhabit now?"
The Earth Goddess Helena Dis looked at Xiao Mo with admiration. "Your Holiness the Sacred Lord is indeed very intelligent. It is precisely so."
"Although we are also called deities, in the true sense of the word, we are not truly gods."
Xiao Mo was quite perplexed and asked, not understanding the reason, "Then, for what reason is it like this, Earth Goddess Helena Dis, do you know?"
Sipping her tea, the Earth Goddess Helena Dis shook her head. "I apologize, Your Majesty the Sacred Lord. I truly do not know the primary reason. The reason I know these things is because the previous Goddess informed me."
"The previous Goddess?" Xiao Mo found this strange. While ordinary goddesses often had titles, the Earth Goddess Helena Dis simply referred to her as the previous Goddess. "Then who was this Goddess?"
The Earth Goddess Helena Dis replied, "Actually, I don't recall these details anymore, as they happened when I was very young. I only remember she was the previous Goddess, but I don't remember much else." She paused, then added, "I always feel as if my memory has been tampered with; some things have been forgotten."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Mo inquired, "Then, you say your memory was tampered with. Could it have been the work of that previous Goddess?"
The Earth Goddess Helena Dis nodded. "I also believe it's possible."
"Because, the previous Goddess may have traveled to the Upper God Realm through this world."
"She traveled to the Upper God Realm from this world!?" Xiao Mo was surprised. "Meaning, it is truly possible for someone to travel from this world to the next!"
The Earth Goddess Helena Dis confirmed, "I have heard from some elders that indeed, some people have traveled from this world to the next." She spoke of traveling from this world to the next, not inter-planar travel.
Xiao Mo suddenly recalled that he and the other domain lords were similar; they had also arrived in this world from another.
"Then do you know the requirements for traveling to the next world?" he asked. The reason he asked this was to understand how to enter the Upper God Realm, not how to return to his modern world. He genuinely had no desire to return to his previous life. Although he had only been in this world for just over a month, he had fully adapted and did not wish to go back. After all, having seen a vaster world, who would want to return to being a mediocre salaryman?
The Earth Goddess Helena Dis shook her head again, indicating she did not know.
"Then that previous Goddess must have been very powerful, right? Otherwise, how could she have entered the next world?" However, the Earth Goddess Helena Dis once again negated his statement.
"Great Sacred Lord, if you were to ask me about other things, I might not know, but if you are asking about the power of the previous Goddess, I still have some impression of it."
"Even though her image has faded in my memory, I still remember she was a gentle Goddess."
"It seems many deities liked her, but her strength wasn't particularly special or outstanding."
"Yet one day, she simply disappeared from this world, and her mark gradually began to fade."
A nostalgic look appeared in the Earth Goddess Helena Dis's eyes, indicating her genuine affection for that gentle, previous Goddess. "If I hadn't already been powerful enough at the time, I might have forgotten that Goddess as well."
Hearing this, Xiao Mo understood. It seemed that indeed, someone could travel from this world to the next. However, the requirements for entering the next world were rather peculiar; it wasn't about strength. It was about touching upon some kind of catalyst to reach the next world.
Xiao Mo was quite bewildered. A hint of an idea flickered in his mind, but it was fleeting, and he couldn't grasp it.
"Could it be because of the power of faith?" Xiao Mo murmured to himself.
"What?" the Earth Goddess Helena Dis asked, not having heard clearly.
Xiao Mo shook his head and said, "Earth Goddess Helena Dis, do you not know what the power of faith is?"
The name sounded very familiar to the Earth Goddess Helena Dis, as if she had heard it somewhere before, but she couldn't quite place it. "Is it faith? It doesn't quite feel like it."
Hearing this, Xiao Mo knew that the Earth Goddess Helena Dis was unfamiliar with the power of faith. Xiao Mo waved his hand, dismissing her so he could think further.
The Earth Goddess Helena Dis didn't know why Xiao Mo had summoned her to discuss these matters, but she left respectfully. Halfway through, however, she suddenly turned back, looking at Xiao Mo with affectionate eyes.
"Your Majesty the Sacred Lord, there is something I wish to request your permission for recently."
Xiao Mo blinked. "Speak."
The Earth Goddess Helena Dis hesitated, then placed a hand over her chest, her red lips parting slightly as she said, "Great Sacred Lord, although I don't know why, I feel as if our traces in this world are also slowly fading."
"Hmm?" Xiao Mo wanted to ask why, but the Earth Goddess Helena Dis had also stated that she didn't know the reason.
