He stared at the wooden box, sighed again, and placed it in front of Emerald:

"This thing was one of my most valuable spoils of war, and I originally wanted to keep it with me as a memento... But now every time I see it, I can't help but miss my hometown and my comrades who fought alongside me, which makes me feel unhappy."

"Now that I have started a new family and settled down here, there is no need to keep these old things that always remind me of the past. I will give them to Miss... I hope they will be helpful to Miss's cultivation."

"Could this be...?"

Amelie had already guessed it in her heart. With a hint of surprise in her voice, she took the long wooden box and opened it.

Sure enough, there lay a scepter inside. The scepter was mainly sky blue, about one to one and a half meters long, with a crystal ball at the top and a diamond-shaped spike at the end, serving both spellcasting and melee combat functions.

"Indeed, this is the artifact used by the Storm God's envoy, a trophy I obtained after successfully killing him."

The swordsman uncle nodded first, then shrugged:

"But it has run out of uses, and I am not a follower of the Storm God, so it is just a souvenir to me. It is not as good as an ordinary iron hammer as a weapon."

“I don’t know if it will work for you, Miss, but since you are exploring the secrets of divine power, a weapon that is closely related to the gods, or even created with the gods’ personal involvement, might be able to help you.”

"..."

After a few seconds of silence, Emery accepted the divine scepter without hesitation.

"Then I thank you, Sword Saint."

Then, after thinking for a few seconds, she made another promise:

"Sword Saint, rest assured, as long as the Ai of the Allen Federation is still the Ai of my Aimelite, your descendants can continue to enjoy wealth and honor."

"Haha... then thank you very much for taking care of me, Miss."

This promise clearly struck a chord with the Sword Saint Uncle. One of the things that a married man worries about most is what if his offspring are not up to par. Now he has received a strong and reliable guarantee.

After that, Emery didn't stay long. She chatted briefly with the Sword Saint uncle, then left Sphinx with Marcy and returned to her own territory.

She couldn't wait to examine that magical scepter closely.

Unlike the swordsman uncle who knew nothing about magic, Emery, who was capable of using divine power, clearly sensed the extraordinary nature of the divine artifact scepter the moment she picked it up.

Although the divine scepter is indeed devoid of any energy now, just as even the dusty top-tier magical artifact cannot fool the eyes of Eastern cultivators, there is a wondrous connection between the user of divine power and the divine artifact that is difficult to describe in words.

After returning to her meditation room at home, Amelie hesitated for a moment, worried that if she used the divine scepter casually, it might attract the attention of the Storm God.

After all, according to the clues we have so far, the existence of gods transcends the world and they can move freely in the endless void... Cross-world travel is difficult for mortals, but for gods it may be as easy as humans traveling to other cities.

But nothing ventured, nothing gained. After being turned into a bunny girl in the blink of an eye and left hanging helplessly in the air, Emerald's fear of insufficient firepower had become incurable. She was unwilling to let go of any opportunity to improve herself.

Let's give it a try... If we really provoke that Storm God, the first one to rush up and fight him might be the Dao Ancestor. Besides, this world still has a world consciousness, so there's probably no need to be too afraid.

With this in mind, Amelie no longer hesitated and wanted to infuse the divine artifact scepter with divine power in an attempt to restart it.

However, after the golden holy magic circled the divine artifact scepter a few times, not a single trace of it managed to penetrate the scepter; it was all bounced back.

...What's going on? I can clearly feel it craving divine power, like a person dying of thirst in the desert needing water.

Emery was initially puzzled, but she quickly figured it out herself.

It must be that there's something wrong with how she uses her divine power.

According to what the Sword Saint Uncle said before, the divine power used by Emery can no longer be called divine power at all, but should be called holy magic.

The form in which this extraordinary power exists can change depending on the user's perception, just like the spiritual power seen by Eastern practitioners and the magic power seen by Western practitioners.

The same applies to divine power. Emerald has always used divine power in accordance with the research of the elves, using the method of manipulating magic. Therefore, the divine power she releases has long since collapsed into a special type of magic power due to her understanding, and can no longer be compatible with the artifact.

What should I do?

After thinking for a while, Amelie came up with a new idea.

She truly couldn't comprehend what the original form of divine power was like, nor did she know how to use it.

But after killing Mondoly and obtaining all of her achievements, Emerald already knew that the power of faith could produce divine power, and it was also the path by which many gods ignited their divine fire.

So Amelie quickly dispelled all her divine magic and knelt down, imitating the devout nuns she remembered, holding the divine scepter in her hands.

...Lend me your strength, lend me your strength, lend me your strength, lend me your strength, lend me your strength, lend me your strength...

Amélie prayed to the artifact with the utmost devotion.

This time it worked, and even startled Emery.

Without any power to resist, she felt her eyelids droop and her consciousness was pulled into a strange world, a world full of storms and thunder.

"Let me see which foolish heretic is coveting my power!?"

A voice, tinged with anger and a hint of mockery, rang out in the air.

Emerald strained to look up and saw, amidst the raging storm and thunder, a gigantic bald eagle whose wingspan almost completely blotted out the sky.

"I……"

Amelie tried to explain, but suddenly her eyes met those of the giant bald eagle. She was instantly speechless, her lips trembling and her whole body shaking, like a little rabbit being stared at by a falcon.

Furthermore, an irresistible force forcefully entered the depths of Emerald's consciousness through the convergence of their gazes, seeking to uncover all of Emerald's secrets.

...Oh dear, I'm doomed. I didn't expect to mess things up like this... Caution is always the best policy; I shouldn't have taken such risks.

It was too late for regrets now. Amelie felt a sense of despair. That giant bald eagle was most likely the Storm God himself, and was countless times more powerful than the Dao Ancestor.

Just as the God of Storms was about to forcibly obtain the secrets deep within Emerald's consciousness, a burst of intense golden light suddenly erupted from Emerald's body. In an instant, that golden light tore apart all the storm and thunder in the sky, transforming into a dazzling sun.

Amelie felt the sun was very warm and comfortable. The fear of being unable to move her body was instantly cleared away, and she felt so comfortable that she wanted to scream.

But the giant bald eagle, the Storm God, evoked a completely different feeling.

Its voice instantly changed from arrogance and mockery to astonishment and fear:

"...Ah? My God...I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry! I really didn't mean to offend your chosen one, I just...I'm so sorry, so sorry! I really won't do it again...Please don't eat me, I'm not roast chicken...Ah!!!!"

To Amelie's utter astonishment, the once majestic Storm God vanished completely after letting out a bloodcurdling scream.

The sun that had instantly killed the Storm God seemed to burp, and without any intention of communicating with Amelie, it transformed back into golden holy light and returned to Amelie's body, no matter how hard she tried, she could no longer sense it.

"This……"

Emery was speechless again.

The God of Storms just vanished like that? The goddess who protected him didn't even show herself; she merely remotely controlled the divine power within her body and instantly killed a powerful god?

It seems that there are differences even among gods, perhaps even greater than the differences between humans.

Fortunately, the goddess who sent me through time, although she seemed a bit dim-witted, appeared to be extremely powerful.

That's good news.

only……

After yet another unsuccessful attempt to contact the goddess through prayer and thought, Emerald gave a helpless bitter smile and sighed.

A powerful force that cannot be controlled is ultimately hard to trust.

After the Storm God was killed, the space that should have been his divine kingdom quickly collapsed, and Ameliete's consciousness returned to reality.

When I looked at the divine scepter again, it felt noticeably different—it must be because the God of Storms had fallen, and it had now become a strange, empty shell.

Chapter 319 Contacting the Holy Flame Meow Cult

"So, what's the result? Have you figured anything out?"

In Amelie's private magic workshop, she eagerly awaited the results of the examination of the divine scepter.

After the giant bald eagle, which was very likely the true form of the Storm God, was destroyed, the artifact scepter also lost all its extraordinary properties as if it were dead. It no longer reacted to Ameliete's divine power and completely turned into a strangely shaped metal rod.

"I'm sorry, young lady."

A young man in a white coat walked over. He was a member of Emerald's private technical team. He and several assistants, with the help of multiple lily of the valley dolls, had just used magical technology to test the artifact scepter.

"First of all, we were unable to detect any energy fluctuations in the target sample; it appears to be a purely metallic ornament."

As the man spoke, he respectfully handed a report to Emerald:

"Secondly, we were also unable to fully analyze its material composition... We were only able to analyze less than 42% of the components, while the rest were completely unknown. We could only determine that it was a very special material, somewhat like metal, but definitely more than just metal."

"Is that really how it is?"

Emerald glanced at the report after receiving it, and sighed softly.

This is similar to her previous analysis; the divine scepter has now become an iron rod with nothing unusual about it except for its special material.

After a moment's thought, Emerald decided not to leave the artifact scepter in the magic workshop for the technical team to continue their research, but instead carried it with her.

Since cross-dimensional communication with the world where the Holy Flame Meow Meow Cult resides is already prepared, Amelie plans to consult the professionals there again, hoping to gain some insights.

The location of the cross-border communications is a campus in Melson, about 150 kilometers away from Sphinx. There are multiple factories producing magical artifacts here, with more than 8 magical technicians alone, and a total population of more than 30. There is also a security force of more than 2000 people, which is almost like a small town.

At this moment, a certain area in the center of the park was placed under martial law from a great distance, with elite Merson Security Company mages patrolling at all times, ready to kill anyone who acted suspiciously without warning.

This area is where cross-border communication will take place. The main communication device is divided into two main modules with different functions. One of the modules is used for communication and looks no different from the remote projection devices used on a daily basis, except that it is larger.

The other module is more complex. It looks like a vast starry sky, with countless silver dots scattered across a black background. Below the starry sky are more than 20 slots, each containing a rare material inside a glass tube.

The principle behind the entire communication process is not complicated. It involves sending a link signal to the world where the Holy Fire Meow Meow Cult is located in the endless void through spatial magic. Once the signal is received, the two sides can communicate as if they were using a communication magic device for projection communication.

The most difficult part of this communication is how to accurately send the communication signal to the world where the Holy Fire Meow Meow Cult is located, because the endless void is so vast that locating a world in it is about the same as finding a small stone in the ocean.

The reason why this world has been unable to make progress in interdimensional exploration and interdimensional diplomacy is because it has never had the technology to stably locate other worlds in the endless void. There is only one 15th squad to deal with the interdimensional visitors who come for various reasons.

The global positioning technology used for cross-border communication was not developed by the Allen Federation itself, but was provided by the beautiful female priest of the Holy Fire Meow Meow Cult.

Don't let the cute-sounding name "Holy Fire Meow Meow Cult" fool you; it's actually a very powerful church, far stronger than the one in the world of the Sword Saint. They not only unified the faith of their own planet long ago, but also successfully spread their religion to two other planets, making them a powerful religious civilization with three planets.

Furthermore, with the protection and guidance of the gods, the Holy Fire Meow Meow Cult possesses the technology to accurately locate other worlds in the endless void.

The positioning technique provided by that beautiful young female priest was called the homogeneous positioning method.

Simply put, it involves using some common substances shared by the two worlds to precisely select and locate them from the countless worlds in the endless void.

Although there are many worlds in the endless void, many common substances are shared. For example, any world with life will have water, as well as common substances such as iron, carbon, and copper, which are basically present in every world.

There are common substances that everyone has, and naturally there are also rare substances that only exist in a few worlds. Materials like mithril and spirit stones only exist in worlds with extraordinary powers, while some even rarer and more precious materials exist in even fewer worlds.

The beautiful young priestess used this principle to get the infatuated young master to collect more than 20 kinds of extremely rare materials that also existed in her hometown. Through these extremely rare materials, she was able to accurately locate her hometown, eventually contact it, and find her way home.

What Emerald and her group have to do now is to do the same thing that the beautiful young priestess did back then.

With two successful experiences as a foundation, this communication did not encounter any setbacks, and a response was received about half an hour after the communication request signal was sent.

In the projection of the large communication magic device, a ball of red flame first appeared, then the flame transformed into an adorable cat, which meowed once, and the communication was connected.

Hello! Hello!

It was a spirited young girl with a sweet and lovely appearance, wearing a nun's habit with many cat paw patterns, who was excitedly waving at us from the projection:

"Wow... There are so many people over there... Are you all my grandfather's family? Hello everyone, my name is Carly Meow Meow Myerson, you can call me Carly Meow."

The pink twin tails that swayed as the girl greeted them had already given Emery a rough idea of ​​her identity, and now it was confirmed.

"Kali Meow, right?"

A middle-aged man with pink hair, wearing a suit and gold-rimmed glasses, was the first to approach the girl and spoke to her very kindly. He was the father of the infatuated young master from back then.

Emerald simply watched from the sidelines, without rushing forward to speak.

Based on the experience of the previous two cross-dimensional communications, this one should last for about an hour. Therefore, Amelie had already discussed it with the family of the infatuated young master in advance. The first 20 minutes would be given to them to communicate with their relatives, and the rest of the time would be for Amelie to ask about the knowledge of divine power.

"Hey? You're my grandfather's father? My great-grandfather? But you look so young, even younger than my dad..."

Carly quickly struck up a conversation with the lovestruck young master's father. She was very talkative and explained her family's situation simply and clearly.

Her grandparents, the lovestruck young master and the beautiful young priestess from back then, passed away five years ago... In reality, they died of natural causes, but members of churches like the Holy Fire Meow Meow Cult, which are protected by a true god, do indeed go to live in the divine realm after death, and can even maintain contact with their relatives in the present world, just like posting on social media.

Carly's parents, who inherited their grandparents' positions, are now serving as the Holy Fire Meow Meow Cult's guardian knight and preaching nun, respectively. They are currently away on business and will likely miss this cross-border communication.

Carly herself was still working hard to become an excellent nun and had been practicing at home in the church headquarters, so she happened to be caught up in this cross-dimensional communication.

Knowing that his youngest son's family was doing well in the other world, the pink-haired man, who looked young but was actually over 100 years old, kept his promise and even gave the opportunity for cross-world communication to Emerald before 20 minutes had passed.

"Hi, Carly meow..."

After exchanging a few brief words with the girl in the projection to introduce themselves, Emery got straight to the point:

"Actually, I was the main initiator of this cross-border communication. I have some important matters I'd like to discuss with the clergy of your church... mainly, I'd like to ask about knowledge related to divine power, is that alright?"

"Knowledge of divine power?"

Carly scratched her head, a little embarrassed, and said:
