"Wait, please don't be like this, Lifa, Elena..." Nell stuttered amid the pressure Elena was emitting. Thus, she turned to Elysia for help. "Elysia, please say something to your master. We came to help. Not for a fight."

Unfortunately, Elysia ignored Nell's plea. She had similar thoughts to Elena, but she needed to understand Lifa's true purpose first.

"I'm afraid I don't understand your secrets that you have in mind, Elena. I have the Divine Law of life. I can see that this young girl's soul connects to you. It's as if you two are the same existence, but with two spirits." Lifa shook her head, then gave her attention to Elysia.

"Great ability with extremely abundant magic and life energy. Your entire existence is filled with mystery and hidden potential. However, you are as fragile as glass. It only takes one hard touch, and you will be shattered." Lifa used her elemental sight, appraising Elysia.

"You know too much, old granny." Elena's magic energy flared instantly.

'Sister Elena, please don't get emotional just yet. Madam Lifa said it for a reason. Her soul does not give off an evil aura. Please listen to her first, okay? She's not done yet.' Elysia immediately grabbed Elena's arm and tried to calm Elena down through their private spirit connection.

'Hmph!' Elena snorted and retracted her magic energy.

'Now, let me take care of it.' Elysia made her decision, and Elena had no other choice but to agree.

"Madam Lifa, with you saying that you are putting us at risk and danger. It's hard to explain, but our hunch says so. Yesterday, I was just worried and suspicious, but it turns out to be true. You are the Goddess of Life, and of course, capable of knowing that." After saying that eloquently, Elysia glanced at Nell and Vanessa too. "Please keep today's conversation secret, understand?"

"Ho-hooho, this old tree is near the door of death, but rest assured, young girl. Child, it would be best if you did not divulge to anyone anything related to the soul, spirit, life energy, or magic of Elysia and Elena. You can bring harm to them. Understand?" Lifa warned Nell with a firm gaze.

In response to that, Nell nodded her head repeatedly at Elysia and Lifa. She was too surprised to say anything, very much like the white cat nearby.

"So, what about my request earlier? It's easy for a large value. I will entrust my Private Realm and my daughter to you." Lifa immediately changed the conversation to what was most important to her.

"That may sound good, but I'm sure your request is not that simple, Madam Lifa. Some things bother me and make me uncertain. May you please enlighten us?" Elysia spoke while stroking Vanessa. She conveyed several things to her contracted beast related to keeping her secrets.

"Tell me everything that's bothering you, Elysia girl. I'll get it right for you." Lifa smiled softly. She knew that Elysia would give a yes, and was only blocked by a thin wall that could be solved.

"Before I say it, please forgive my impudence." Elysia put her hand on her upper chest.

"No need to be so formal. Please continue." Lifa waved her hand in front of her face.

After gaining approval, Elysia went straight to some points of her confusion. "We realize that your daughter, Rhea, the Goddess Of Nature, has another nickname, namely the parasite. We know that from the Evil God, Xerroth. Why is that? Then, we won't accept your request if your daughter doesn't give her consent.

We don't want to be hated by your daughter because of your decision. Lastly, is your daughter actually part of the tree of life or maybe your creation? How could a tree have a daughter with a mix between an elf and a fairy?"

Lifa smiled wryly at hearing that. The corner of her lips twitched as she ultimately didn't expect the last two questions. Nevertheless, she chose to speak the truth without falsehood.

"That black devil, huh... He's so presumptuous as usual. Even though it's not wrong, it can't be justified either. My daughter is not a parasite. She just can't live alone. She needs someone who can support her life because she can't restore her own life energy. She has no immortality." Lifa glanced slightly upward. She wanted to give Evil God a little punishment for saying bad things about her daughter to Elysia.

"The Goddess of Nature can't do that even though she is the divine with Divine Law?" Elena frowned as she knew the meaning of entrusting Rhea to them.

"Yeah... Unlike other Gods and Goddesses. My daughter only has one way to live, which is depending on someone superior. And that method requires her to enter into a contract with the host. In my daughter's life, she only had three contracts. She is my adopted daughter who has served me for hundreds of thousands of years to repay the life energy she took from me." Lifa looked sadly at her daughter.

"So, after you are gone, you want to make my Ely as your daughter's next master? Will your daughter depend on Ely's life energy to live? And it will continue until we are gone? That sounds so selfish." Elena folded her arms and snorted. She had the same idea as Xero to call Rhea a parasite.

"By seeing Elysia's beautiful soul, I'm sure she can master my divine technique to absorb the life energy of other living beings. I will give my legacy to you, so please don't look at my daughter with one eye closed." Lifa tried to convince Elysia even though she talked to Elena.

"With that being said, I have answered two of your three questions, Elysia girl. However, for the other one, it is a bit difficult. I'm sure my daughter will not give her consent. Besides, her spirit is sealed inside her damaged soul. She will wake up after I use my life energy and my soul to heal her. We don't have that chance." Lifa concluded and shook her head at the end of her words.

Nell wanted to open her mouth to offer her help, but Lifa gave the little Goddess a stop hand gesture. "It's useless, child. You still need to recover for yourself, which will take a very long time on your own. I've considered it. Don't you realize what I'm going through down there? I can't help it anymore." 

"There are countless accursed monsters down there. Either those you've slaughtered and those that are still alive." Elena enlightened Nell even though she spoke for Lifa.

Nell was at a loss for words and didn't know what else to say. She indeed had no power to interfere. However, there was still Elysia as her hope to save Lifa and Rhea.

"You're going to burn your soul? You're saying it only takes life energy. Do your soul-healing techniques cost that much? We might be able to help with life energy, but not with the soul." Elysia became confused regarding that point.

"Oh, please think of it because this old tree is too old and gives an incomplete explanation." Lifa waved her hand. Then she tried to convince Elysia once again about her request. It got to the point where she suggested addressing her daughter as Elysia's Goddess protector.

Unfortunately, Elysia stood by her decisions and conditions. If Lifa doesn't get Rhea's consent, then it was a big no. They needed to find other solutions. However, Lifa thought that was the only way.

"All right, let's do this. I don't need to learn your divine techniques to deal with life energy, Madam Lifa. Since your daughter has a human form, I think I can practice it with my life energy." Elysia clapped her hands to bring the conversation to a halt.

"Let us work together to heal your daughter until she can wake up from her seal. That way, you can talk to your daughter from heart to heart. My master and I don't need to know many details about anything personal if you are uncomfortable." Elysia invited Lifa and Elena to her decision. Elena agreed, but Lifa became somewhat hesitant.

"You look so confident, but you need to prove that to me first, Elysia girl." Lifa added, and Elysia agreed quickly.

"Let's do the experiment using a plant near the border of your sealed domain, Madam Lifa. Let's go, master, Vann, Nell." Elysia stood up and invited the others.

She had never tried to absorb other living being's life energy, but she believed that she could do it if she tried. After all, she had experiences with it as she was restoring Vanessa's life energy.

"I remember that you were called grandmaster by this white cat, and grandgodmaster by this child, then master by Elysia? Do you have a preference in that direction?" Lifa gave Elena a slightly strange look.

"It's them who decided to call me by that name. As for Ely and me, it is our heart's desire. We can be as close as sisters and professionals as master and disciple." Elena paid no attention to Lifa anymore after that. She walked to Elysia's side while carrying the white cat.

"Hey, Lifa, why don't you ever mention me by my name? I purposely called you disrespectfully because I wanted to bother you. Still, you only advised me and let me do whatever I wanted." Nell flew to the old granny's side.

She lamented Lifa's suffering and wanted to reconcile. Lifa was in the form of an old grandmother with a body like dark wood with a slightly blackish brown color.

The accursed monsters sealed under the tree of life must have made Lifa suffer so much.
