My Goddess is Good at Pretending-Chapter 705: Land Development
It had been several days since the ancient demonic serpent’s incident. After much consideration, Elysia and the higher-ups of Sacred Sakura made several new rules for the disciples and dwellers in the Sacred Sakura region.
No disciples were allowed to actively hunt the great evil individually without confirmation and approval from the higher-ups. The outer and inner disciples were forbidden to leave the Sacred Sakura’s seven great mountain formations without permission.
Broadly speaking, they entered the seclusion phase like the usual aloof holy land where they restricted their activities or involvement with the outside world. Even the distinguished guests couldn’t enter or leave as they pleased even though they had fulfilled the required procedures and conditions.
In the past few days, Yuna, as the representative of Heavenly Palace, has assisted Sacred Sakura with many things, and certainly, her idea to cleanse the mortal worlds was finally accepted by Elysia and Elysium Pantheon.
Yuna employed more celestial spirits to oversee the world. The cleanse would occur once the celestial spirits and the world laws detected the villains who violated their bottom line.
Yuna paid a hefty price to implement more laws in the three mortal worlds, but with the new rules that would actively scan the mortal worlds periodically to find the evil seeds of the past eras, the cleanse should be able to work more effectively and efficiently with the celestial spirits as the law enforcers.
"Yuna, we misunderstood you the other day. You were wronged." Elysia felt a bit guilty when she remembered that, but well, what Yuna said back then would definitely be misunderstood if not explained properly.
"It’s alright, milady. It’s partially my fault for not explaining it properly. The mortal world cleansing will work automatically. Divine tribulation and heavenly thunder will serve to punish the evils who crossed the bottom line."
"Mm, it’s either they will hide from Heaven’s eyes forever or be forced to put their ambitions to rest. We can focus on our cultivation for now."
"Mm..."
"I heard the cleansing is also happening in the Divine World. May I know the magnitude of the matter over there?"
"That’s a bit complicated because our allies actively hunted those heretics, especially the heavenly demon’s seeds because they need a lot of materials to prepare for war."
"I see... they are united and that makes the heavenly demon’s factions very overwhelmed. The anti-curse magic items are that effective. I hope we can win the war with minimal casualties..."
"Your kindness means a lot, milady."
Elysia and Yuna chatted over a cup of warm tea in the garden pavilion, enjoying the fresh, cool morning air.
"Rather than cultivating, they are doing massive construction now... No one can stay idle for long." Elena chuckled in amusement as she recalled the activities and grand plans within their sect.
Since the moment of seclusion had already taken effect, and almost all of Sacred Sakura’s members couldn’t leave far, the core disciples together with the elders led massive construction to create a more magnificent and special true sacred land to match its title as the world’s strongest sect.
"They cultivate with half the effort and twice the gain. Outside of training time, they have a lot of free time. There is no cultivating as a hermit here." Elysia shrugged her shoulders.
"Hm, that’s what Sacred Sakura needs. This sacred mountain region has been so simple in the past five years." Yuna nodded in agreement.
As the only affiliated faction that Heavenly Palace heavily invested in, Sacred Sakura deserved to be the strongest and most beautiful sacred ground in the entire three worlds. Therefore, the heavenly servants, maids, and even agents who had nothing to do received the task of building Sacred Sakura as a truly sacred land with complete, magnificent, and beautiful facilities.
Yes, they got that much free time because the manufacturing process of anti-curse war equipment had entered the automatic stage, only waiting for periodic supervision from Goddess Ely. Meanwhile, the high-rank Gods and Immortals went into seclusion and self-training, including the Lord of Heaven. Therefore, weekly classes could be continued next week, until they counted the days for the Nirvana Great War.
The inevitable would take place in around a month, and with the Supreme Goddess and the enlightened Lord of Heaven as the leads, their chance of victory rose greatly. The Corrupted Nirvana Realm’s abyssal monsters and the Sovereign of Abyss would surely receive a surprise gift that would crush them.
"..." Yuna took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, feeling peaceful and calm even if it was only for a split moment.
"I can’t take it anymore..." Amy raised her bottle of wine with an intoxicated expression, walking towards the fish pond unsteadily.
"It’s still early and you’re drunk..." Shiina dragged Amy away to a resting place near the Sacred Sakura Tree.
"This moment of peace is good. We don’t need to take care of worldly affairs. There are many things we need to prepare and do." Elysia closed her eyes with a faint smile of relief.
"Please enlighten me, milady." Yuna was eager to hear what Goddess Ely planned. She implemented the expensive world cleanse laws and many things so Goddess Ely could spare more time to do what they should do, not spending much on outside world affairs that they shouldn’t be the ones to deal with.
"Hmm~" Elysia tapped her chin, glancing at the shrine abode.
Miko and her girls were still asleep because they played and cultivated until so late last night, including her Goddess sisters. Since they still required more rest, she brought Elena, Ai, and the heavenly agents to the Nature Realm as she had something planned with her hypergiant stars.

On the other hand, Gabriella supervised the construction of the sect together with her fellow disciples and representative elders. Help from the Heavenly Palace was also there to help them. The Nirvana Great War was approaching, and they should establish an indestructible and impenetrable formation to protect their home so their Goddess Master could feel at ease.
"..." Jophiel looked at the half-finished sacred grounds on the seven great mountains with awe and sadness. In one month, her master and Goddess Master would need to leave for the Divine World. Nobody could tell for sure when they could meet again.
The Sacred Sakura Goddess, their revered Goddess Master, had received Heaven’s call to wage war against an ancient cosmic threat beyond the mortal realm’s comprehension. Her departure was imminent, and with it came the need to fortify their holy land into an impregnable sanctuary, a truly sacred land where her divine roots and legacies would remain safe and nurtured.
"While we shall embark on this celestial duty, this land must stand as an eternal beacon of hope, protected from all evil." The Sacred Sakura Goddess proclaimed. Her voice carried the weight of both divinity and compassion.
Those words still rang clearly in the minds of the disciples and representative elders.
Thus the Sacred Sakura Holy Land’s grand construction began. Heavenly emissaries, celestial architects, and holy craftsmen descended from the sky, working alongside the devoted followers to weave divine formations, celestial barriers, and sacred wards into the foundation of the land.
The sakura barrier formation was erected, infused with the everlasting heavenly essence, and formed an unbreakable shield against any threat.
Blessings from the Divine World poured down in the form of guardian spirits, ethereal protectors who took residence within the seven great mountains’ peaks. These celestial entities would watch over the territory day and night, ensuring no darkness could ever taint the Goddess’ cherished domain.
Since the barrier was active, no outsiders and guests could pay a visit as they pleased. Everyone had to wait outside the barrier until further notice.
"First sister, will master listen to my wish so she will stay with us instead? Why does everyone need to go to the Divine World to fight that supermonster villain’s army?" Jophiel grabbed the hem of Gabriella’s sleeve, muttering with a teary gaze.
She couldn’t help it when recalled her master would leave them for who knows how long. The prediction said it might be one or two years, but she had to be prepared for several years or even decades...
"It’s a predetermined matter, Jophi... If our Goddess Master does not set out with her full force to eliminate the looming great evil in the realm above to aid the Lord of Heaven, nobody can bear the consequences that might follow. Once the Heavenly Realm is defeated, the entire world is done for. Please put your purest faith in our master..." Gabriella felt a bit emotional because of Jophiel’s sad murmurs, but she couldn’t be a crybaby. She had to be strong as the first sister and eldest disciple.
"I know, but still..." Jophiel bit her lower lips, realizing that she was being selfish.
Her master had to go to resolve the imminent crisis that could end the world. If her master wouldn’t stay, then she wished to go as well as her only wish was to always stay by her master’s side. Sadly, she was not strong enough for anything, and it really frustrated her.
"We should try our best to achieve greatness so we can relieve our master of the burden. Sacred Sakura will be her home, so we have to make this place magnificent. Please don’t cry. Master doesn’t like to see you cry." Gabriella wiped the tears from Jophiel’s cheeks.
"Mm..." Jophiel wiped her tears and stelled her resolve. She had to improve for the better even though her master was not around for years. She had to surprise her master with her improvement when her master returned.
The Sacred Sakura’s large-scale construction was just the beginning, and they should impress their master with the final result.
With that in mind, Jophiel went to the construction site around the Sacred Mountain. She did not want to just supervise, but participate in the construction of important buildings in the Sacred Sakura’s core area.
