Why Am I a Priestess When I Reach the Maximum Level?-Chapter 118[Vol. 5] - Origin of the Beginning

[Vol. 5] Chapter 118: Origin of the Beginning

“No one’s trying to steal your treasure… really, most of the time you’re dependable, but sometimes, Violet, you act like a child with these immature outbursts…”

Sighing and rubbing her forehead in exasperation, The Goddess of Life deliberately ignored a certain someone who was playfully sticking out their tongue with a cheeky “eh-heh” expression. After observing the ?Demon God’s Gem? for a moment, she nodded slightly, as if confirming a suspicion.

“As I thought, this carries the aura of a primordial artifact.”

“A primordial artifact?”

Noticing the unfamiliar term, Miss Priestess was soon filled with curiosity and eagerly asked, “What is that?”

As if recalling some memories, Sethlin let out a soft sigh.

“A primordial artifact… is a treasure born from the world itself, coveted even by gods.”

“Huh…?”

Hearing such an exaggerated description, someone instinctively glanced at the black jewel floating beside them. The jewel, radiating endless waves of magical energy, flickered a few times, almost as if responding proudly to the praise, like a child lifting its head in arrogance.

Miss Sethlin, however, paid no attention to this and raised her hand, summoning a magnificent spear entwined with vibrant vines and life energy, allowing it to float gently in front of Violet as well.

“Look, this is the ?Flower of Creation?, a life-exclusive artifact that was born from the change in laws after I was separated from ‘Wither’. Violet, which do you think is superior, this spear or that jewel?”

“The ?Flower of Creation?, huh…”

Just by looking at the radiant life force flowing through this spear and feeling its profound aura up close, it’s clear that this must be a piece of exceptionally high-quality equipment.

However, when it comes to determining its exact grade, since it’s a weapon native to this world and has divine power intertwined with it, it can’t really be judged by the game’s standards.

“Sethlin, can I study it closely?”

“Of course.”

Without any hesitation, the Goddess of Life handed the floating spear to the black-haired girl. Violet carefully held the splendid, three-meter-long, green spear, which was taller than her, gently stroking the smooth patterns and the vine-like tendrils that seemed almost alive. After pondering for a moment, she activated a skill called ?Information Detection?.

Soon, a few lines of text appeared before Violet.

—– —– —– —– —– —– —– —– —–

?Flower of Creation?

?Law Artifact?

The life-bound artifact of the Goddess of Life, xxx, created from the essence of the Laws of Life. It contains infinite vitality and the laws of creation, capable of raising the dead and regenerating flesh and bone, a miraculous divine weapon that controls the life force of all things.

—– —– —– —– —– —– —– —– —–

That was all the information the skill could uncover—no stats, no skill descriptions, nothing concrete.

Which was to be expected. After all, this ability often fluctuated between being reliable and unreliable. The higher the rank and mystery of the object, the less information it would reveal.

Equipment like the ?Demon God’s Gem?, which already belongs to Violet, is easier to analyze. However, as for the ?Flower of Creation?, an artifact containing immense godly power and bound to someone else, being able to uncover even a few lines of information was already an exceptional result.

Moreover, when it came to ranking, ?Information Detection? didn’t categorize the spear into any specific grade. It simply classified it as an “Artifact” with the prefix ?Law? added. In the game, the system never categorized items of the same rank into lower, middle, or upper tiers, leaving players to judge that for themselves.

But since the ?Demon God’s Gem? had previously been rated as a ?Sacred Artifact?, Miss Priestess was now completely confused about what this unreliable skill was doing. In the end, she decided to stop overthinking it.

Still, ?Law Artifact? was a completely new term that Violet had never heard before.

“Finished? What do you think?”

Gripping the vine-entwined spear with one hand as the black-haired girl returned it, Sethlin’s palm shimmered with light. The ?Flower of Creation? transformed into a delicate green pattern on the back of her hand and disappeared.

It’s quite obvious that the Goddess has been carrying this artifact with her, even when she’s not in her real form.

“It’s a very powerful weapon. Sethlin, do you know what a Law Artifact is?”

The green-haired girl smiled slightly.

“Since you already have a guess, why bother asking me?”

After pondering for a moment, Miss Priestess nodded and pulled out her true personal weapon from her bag: the ?Eternal Scepter of the World’s Heart?.

The girl gently stroked the staff, which had accompanied her for a long time, and just as Sethlin had done earlier, she handed it to the Goddess in reverse.

“Take a look, is this a Law Artifact or a Primordial Artifact?”

“Hmm…”

As she examined the long priest staff that seemed to flow with an invisible, soft radiance, the green-eyed Goddess of Life grew more serious. She then extended a delicate, white finger and lightly touched the handle between Violet’s hands.

“Crackle!”

Suddenly, a burst of white lightning flashed between them at the moment of contact. Even the Goddess of Life, who was said to be returning to the rank of the main deity, was forced to pull her hand back. After a brief moment of surprise, she quickly understood.

“The intense spirituality is unmistakable, this is also a Primordial Artifact. And in terms of rank, it’s likely much higher than the jewel you got from Olivia…”

“This is beyond the realm of imbuing spirits. Such a powerful Primordial Artifact… I’ve never seen one before. If we were to rank it by divine levels, it might already be at the highest rank of ?Main God?. Unbelievable… Violet, may I ask where you obtained this item?”

“Ahaha… well, um…”

Faced with the curious gaze of the Goddess, the Priestess hesitated slightly, nervously tugging at the corner of her clothes.

To explain the origin of the ?Eternal Scepter of the World’s Heart?, she would inevitably have to mention the game ?Illusory World?. If she mixed truth with half-truths, it would only confuse Sethlin’s judgment and waste time.

Honestly, Violet had considered more than once whether she should tell Sethlin the truth—that she had crossed over from the game and reveal the secrets surrounding ?Illusory World?. After all, Sethlin, who had lived for tens of thousands of years as an ancient god, was someone Violet had personally helped rise in power.

In a sense, Sethlin was currently the only one who could be considered similar to her, someone she could help, trust, and count as a friend.

With Sethlin’s vast experience, if she fully understood the situation, she could surely offer Violet valuable advice and suggestions. The benefits were undeniable. As the Goddess of Life, kindness was ingrained in Sethlin’s very nature.

Violet believed that among all the people she had encountered, aside from her dragon companion, Sethlin was the least likely to betray her. So, there was little reason to worry about risk.

The only concern was, in a way, somewhat amusing.

The girl was simply worried that once Sethlin learned she had once been an ordinary person, someone who had only gained power and everything else through an inexplicable crossing from the game…

Would she… look down on her because of it?

After all, no matter how friendly and approachable Sethlin’s demeanor might be, Violet could clearly sense that the way Sethlin treated her was different from how she treated others. That difference was likely akin to the distinction between a gentle leader and a close, inseparable friend.

Perhaps it was because Violet and Sethlin were the only ones in this world who possessed “divinity,” they stood as equals. But if that were to change…
