The villain daughter did all kinds of things

"After all, magic is a near-omnipotent power of miracles... If even magic can't solve a problem, then giving up on using magic will solve it? That's ridiculous!"

. . . . .

The fact that Ameliete paid a high price for the materials did cause some commotion, but compared to the Dao Ancestor's attainment of Dao, these commotions were nothing and were quickly quelled without making a ripple.

The mass production of the Sister Legion and the construction plan of the Crimson Moon Network went smoothly. By the time summer and autumn had passed and winter was approaching, the number of Sister Legions had exceeded 10, and each Crimson Moon Sister had the strength of a magician. The magic tower on the big cake was almost full.

During this period, Emery conducted several tests on the program, two of which were conducted in space.

All tests were successful. Marcy's abilities as a Saint of Destiny are very powerful. No matter where Emerald is, Marcy can cross space and feed Emerald directly into her mouth with the essence of life flame, which is full of magic.

And so, when the weather in the Allen Federation began to turn cold again, and many ordinary girls who loved fashion dared not wear short skirts anymore, that moment finally arrived.

That afternoon, just as Ameliete, who had been cultivating for a day and a night, was holding Sulina and planning to play the tyrant game again, the earth suddenly began to shake violently for more than 10 minutes, causing some panic among the pedestrians on the street.

In terms of dealing with natural disasters, this world's technology has long surpassed that of Earth. Whether it's floods, hurricanes, or earthquakes, humans have long been able to use the power of magic to forcibly eliminate or relocate them. The Federation hasn't seen a large town experience an earthquake in hundreds of years.

However, this earthquake could not be avoided, because it was not an ordinary earthquake, but a lament of the world's consciousness—the Dao Ancestor's union with the Dao had finally begun.

The process of achieving harmony with the Dao cannot be accomplished overnight. After all, this world originally had a world consciousness, which would inevitably resist.

In the final main storyline of the original game, there was a 50-day countdown. Players only needed to defeat the Dao Ancestor and prevent the Dao from merging within 50 days of the game time to complete the mission.

The reality of this world certainly cannot be completely compared to the original game, but Emery estimates that there should still be at least 30 days.

This is also the main reason why Amelie didn't immediately start forming an alliance. The matter of the Dao Ancestor merging with the Dao is a top secret, and it would be hard for people to believe if it were revealed in advance. People could only truly unite after some unusual phenomena caused by merging with the Dao appeared.

Now that the Dao Ancestor's merging with the Dao has finally begun, Amelie naturally has to start implementing the plan.

The Allen Federation and the Elf Kingdom don't need to put in much effort; Emeryte can mobilize powerful individuals to participate in the plan simply by virtue of her prestige and her status as the Elf Queen.

However, for the Sakura Kingdom and the Sea Clan, Emery will need to make another trip in person.

Emerald chose the Kingdom of Sakura as her first stop, as she has a closer relationship with the country there and should be able to achieve her goal easily.

After arriving in Shangying Kingdom through the international teleportation portal built on the outskirts of Locke City, this time Amelie didn't make a big fuss. She quietly entered the palace and met with her third uncle, Milaine, and his family to explain the situation.

"The Dao Ancestor merged with the Dao... I did hear the Divine Tree mention this before."

Queen Tengu Yuki was not surprised by Amelie's arrival. After hosting Amelie for a relatively simple family dinner at the palace, she made a promise:

"Little Ellie, why don't you rest in the palace for a while? I'll go to the shrine to see the Divine Tree and explain your purpose... As long as there are no problems with the Divine Tree, I will cooperate with your plan."

Emerald naturally did not refuse and stayed at the Shangying Palace, specifically in Princess Tiangong Lin's palace, to thoroughly check on her cousin's training and development over the past year.

They thought they wouldn't get the news until the next day at the earliest, but that very night, just as Emerald had coaxed Rin into bed and was about to have a good talk with her sister, a formal invitation came from the Amamiya Shrine. The Divine Tree wanted to meet with Emerald.

Enraged, Rin Amamiya kicked her scumbag cousin off the bed, then covered her head with the blanket and hid against the wall, refusing to come out.

Emerald could only sigh with regret and follow the shrine maiden who came to deliver the message into the Tengu Shrine.

The last time I visited Tengu Shrine, many forbidden areas and main halls that were not open to Emery were open to her this time.

In a shrine hall that was built inside the sacred tree, Emerald saw the sacred tree in human form.

The Elf Queen was right; the Divine Tree was indeed created by the world's consciousness in imitation of her, and from Amelie's current perspective, the two have many similarities.

For example, the Elf Queen, originally the goddess of the World Tree, is a Mary Sue-esque elf with long, rainbow-colored hair in her human form. The Divine Tree, on the other hand, is a gentle, red-and-white-dressed witch with black hair and black eyes.

Furthermore, the way the Divine Tree addresses Emerald is quite interesting. When she meets Emerald, this is how she greets her:

"You've arrived, Wise Lady. It seems you've come to understand your destiny?"

Clearly, the Divine Tree knew about the World Consciousness's plan to use the Chosen Hero, the Chosen Sage, and the Chosen Saint to stop the Chosen Daughter, but she didn't know that the current Emerald was not the original Emerald in the World Consciousness's plan.

After all, when Emerald's soul came to this world, the world consciousness was severely beaten by the goddess who had blessed Emerald, which was quite embarrassing. It's normal that the divine tree didn't know about it.

Since that's the case, Emery didn't need to point it out, and simply smiled and nodded:

"Yes, Divine Tree, I have understood my destiny... I will certainly not disappoint that person's expectations and will stop the Dao Ancestor's ambition."

"That's good..."

The Divine Tree seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, then she sat down and personally brewed tea to serve Amelie, but she brewed tea leaves instead of flower tea.

Amelie didn't stand on ceremony. She sat opposite the sacred tree, patiently waiting for the tea to be brewed. After tasting it, she praised it a couple of times before getting back to the main topic:

"The Divine Tree should also know that the Dao Ancestor is powerful and there are many strong people in the Immortal Sect. I am afraid that it will be difficult for me and the Federation to fulfill that person's request. I ask the Divine Tree to help me."

“That’s what I should do; it’s my duty to share my master’s burdens, but…”

The divine tree readily agreed, but immediately gave a wry smile:

"However, I'm afraid I won't be able to fight alongside Miss Sage, because I can't leave the land where Shangying Kingdom is located. I can only provide some remote support."

"...Because Your true form, Divine Tree, is a tree?"

This did not surprise Emerald, as it was the same in the original game, so Emerald was not disappointed, but rather a little curious.

"Not only that, it's also for the stability of the Kingdom of Shangying."

The divine tree nodded slightly and added:

"Sage, you should know that in ancient times, the people of this land relied entirely on my protection to establish the kingdom we have today, right?"

Seeing that Ameliete had given her approval, the Divine Tree continued:

“At that time, the entire Eastern Continent was overrun by demons. The Dao Ancestor established the Tianyun Empire by slaying all the powerful demons, but I am not that powerful... There are some very troublesome demons that I cannot kill, I can only suppress.”

"To this day, not all of those demons are dead. I have suppressed a few of the most powerful ones under the tree roots... Once I leave this place, they are very likely to break free and once again wreak havoc on this land, causing countless deaths and injuries."

"I see... then you really can't set off easily, Divine Tree."

Emerald nodded slightly in understanding, then asked:

"The shrine maidens of that Heavenly Shrine...?"

"Of course, all the priestesses can go into battle with you, just don't take them all with you. Leave a few behind to help me relay messages."

This time, the divine tree agreed with unparalleled ease:

"I will tell the priestesses to cooperate unconditionally with the Sage's plan... As long as they can stop the Dao Ancestor from harming our Lord, the Sage can use the power of the shrine at will."

"That's good..."

Amelie also showed a satisfied smile.

The Tengu Shrine is quite powerful, with more than 50 high priestesses who have reached the third stage of enlightenment. They are all proficient in talismans, formations, sealing, and archery, and are also skilled in coordinated spellcasting for team battles. They would definitely be an elite force when attacking the immortal sects.

"My priestesses will definitely be able to go into battle with the Sage, but there's one more small matter that might require the Sage's help... I wonder if the Heroine has come along as well?"

The divine tree hesitated for a moment before tentatively asking.

"No, Julia is still preparing for the final battle in the Federation... Is there anything I can't do? Why does Julia have to do it?"

Emery raised an eyebrow, clearly intrigued.

"Well... well, the Sage should be able to do it too, and based on my observation, the Sage seems to be even better at it than the Heroine."

After hesitating for a moment, the divine tree finally told the truth.

Amélie also opened her mouth wide, a rare occurrence, and even forgot to drink the tea on her lips.

The secret of how Yulia was able to open the silver veil at the Tengu Shrine in the original game has also been revealed.

Chapter 364 Let's use group purification on the shrine maidens!

The divine tree suppressed the most powerful demons in the land of Shangying Kingdom under its branches. Of course, those demons were not willing to be imprisoned and kept using their power to erode the roots of the divine tree, trying to make the divine tree fall into demonhood as well.

At first, the divine tree had no good solutions and could only rely on its own willpower to endure it.

But soon, the divine tree copied the Elf Queen's homework, cleverly resolving the demons' corruption and avoiding the risk of its own corruption.

The Elf race is inherently corrupt because the Elf Queen has long since fallen into depravity and could easily become a new lewd and evil god.

But when Amelie met the Elf Queen, the Elf Queen looked quite normal, reminiscent of the former World Tree Goddess.

This is because when the Elf Queen was asleep, she distributed her deepest desires and evil thoughts to the entire Elf race. As a result, the Elf race became very prone to depravity and corruption, while the Elf Queen was able to remain rational and clear-headed, as if she had recovered.

The sacred tree was treated using a similar method. One of the most important missions of the Tengu Shrine is to help the sacred tree purify the erosion at its roots and ensure that the sacred tree does not fall into corruption.

This so-called purification is actually similar to the Elf race sharing the Elf Queen's desires. The witches also absorb the filth from the roots of the sacred tree, using the pure hearts and sincere sincerity of young girls to fight against the various evil thoughts of demons.

Under normal circumstances, this mode works without problems; the Tengu Shrine has been operating very stably for thousands of years.

Because there are many shrine maidens at the Tengu Shrine, who have been practicing asceticism and purity of heart since childhood, the impurities are not much when spread out, and the shrine maidens can easily resist them with their willpower.

Even if it comes to fighting, the Tengu Shrine is the strongest force in Kamioka Province, and it is backed by the Divine Tree. In previous battles, it has basically been a one-sided crushing victory, with no pressure whatsoever.

But this time, stopping the Dao Ancestor is different. The Immortal Sect is undoubtedly powerful, and the high priestesses of the Heavenly Palace Shrine will definitely face the most difficult battle of their lives. The filth suppressed by their willpower in their hearts may become their fatal weakness, causing them to fail in the battle.

Fortunately, there is a solution to this problem: let the priestesses release their energy before the great battle, just like releasing water from a reservoir to prevent the dam from collapsing.

By preemptively igniting and then alleviating the desires deep within the shrine maidens' hearts, it is ensured that the shrine maidens will not be affected during actual combat.

The original plan of the Divine Tree was to have the chosen hero, Yulia, do this, because the prophecy said that Yulia was the key figure to stop the Dao Ancestor, and she was well-versed in this matter, surrounded by a group of beautiful girls.

This is probably why Yulia was able to open the silver handkerchief at the Tengu Shrine in the original game. The divine tree in the original game was probably too embarrassed to say it directly, so it treated the gentle service of the shrine maidens at the Tengu Shrine as a reward for Yulia to complete the quest.

The actual situation is somewhat different from the prophecy, but it's not a big problem—both the chosen hero and the chosen sage are seen as chosen women by the divine tree and can be trusted.

Since the key figure in stopping the Dao Ancestor has become the Sage, and the Sage also has unparalleled skills and countless beautiful girls by her side, it's fine to entrust this matter to her.

However, the wise lady was more calm and wise than the heroine, and after careful consideration, the divine tree decided to tell the truth and sincerely ask for help.

"...Alright then."

Emerald, of course, wouldn't refuse such a cushy job, but she still had to pretend. She feigned hesitation for a moment before gritting her teeth and saying with an air of resignation:

"Although I have always been virtuous and have a sense of justice, and I do not want to do anything that would be unfair to the people I like, this is a critical moment, and I must make a sacrifice... I will do my best to alleviate the filthy desires deep in the hearts of the shrine maidens and help them eliminate the hidden dangers."

"..."

The Divine Tree's expression was very strange for a moment, as if it was trying very hard to control its facial muscles to prevent itself from showing disgust... After all, the Divine Tree knew very well how much fun Amelie had with those ladies when she last came, otherwise the Divine Tree would not have asked her for help.

But the divine tree ultimately restrained its urge to complain, saying nothing more, only nodding with a stern face:

"In that case, I'll leave it to you, Miss Sage... Please wait here while I tell the priestesses what happened, and they will come to find you soon."

"it is good."

After discussing with the Divine Tree, Emerald left the main hall inside the Divine Tree and was led to a secluded but luxuriously decorated room in a corner of the shrine to rest.

At the same time, the spiritual energy fluctuations of the divine tree swept across the entire shrine, ordering all the high priestesses to gather in the central hall. It was probably to tell them about the Dao Ancestor and to give them orders.

Amelie wasn't in a hurry. She brewed a pot of tea in her room and waited patiently.

About half an hour later, there was a knock on the door, and before Emery could ask anything, a gentle female voice came from outside:

"Young Miss, we are here on the orders of the Divine Tree to carry out a special purification ritual."

...A special purification ritual? That's quite a convenient excuse. It seems that clergy members often use similar pretexts when performing such tasks.

Amused and inwardly scoffing, Amelie adopted the same posture she used when praying, trying her best to make her voice sound sacred:

"Come in."

The door was pushed open, and ten slender and exquisitely beautiful shrine maidens filed in. The spiritual energy fluctuations on their bodies all belonged to the third stage of enlightenment, and their shrine maiden robes were also those of high-ranking shrine maidens, with more noble and gorgeous decorations than those of ordinary shrine maidens.

"...Are you the only ones who need to undergo a special purification ritual?"

Seeing that only 10 high priestesses had arrived, Emerald frowned slightly, somewhat dissatisfied.

Surely this sacred tree isn't just planning to send out 10 high priestesses to handle the task?

"No, we have four more groups of sisters on standby."

Upon seeing this, the leading high priestess quickly bowed and explained:

"It is because the Divine Tree was worried that you would be too tired from purifying too many people at once, so it arranged for us to come in groups of 10. We will also let you rest after each purification."

"Rest? Ha..."

Emery chuckled softly, but didn't say much, simply nodding:

"Very well, then I will accept the kindness of the Divine Tree."

At this moment, all ten high priestesses entered the room. The last high priestess to enter slammed the door shut behind her. Then, the ten high priestesses knelt down in a circle around Emerald and said in unison in a clear, slightly seductive voice:

"Please give your orders, Miss."

"Um……"

Emery thought for a moment, then looked the ten high priestesses over again, before beckoning to the one with the best figure among them:

"Come here... I'll demonstrate the purification process for you first, and the others can observe and learn from it. That way, we can be more efficient when we purify together later."
