Chapter 796

Mei Vise saw that after she asked that question, Wei Vila had fallen into a daze, and naturally grew curious.

The time Wei Vila had just spent thinking was indeed a bit too long.

Seeing Mei Vise asking her, Wei Vila said: "I just remembered something. Mei Vise, what was it you just asked me?"

Goddess Mei Vise said: "Wei Vila, aren't you nearly at the third tier now?"

Since Wei Vila had revealed no trace of her divine essence, Mei Vise assumed Wei Vila was at the peak of the second tier — a goddess with a 10th-level divine essence and divine body.

Her own strength was extremely close to Wei Vila's; both goddesses had ascended to 9th-level divine essence at nearly the same time, and had shaped their 9th-level divine bodies simultaneously.

But Mei Vise still had a considerable distance to go before reaching 10th-level divine essence, while Wei Vila had already advanced ahead, possessing a 10th-level divine body — and if the divine body was 10th-level, the divine essence must be 10th-level too.

Mei Vise was naturally astonished.

Hmm, that was Mei Vise's normal thought.

But immediately, Wei Vila's reply made Mei Vise doubt she had misheard.

"Mei Vise, I already have an 11th-level divine essence."

Wei Vila said.

"11th-level divine essence? Wei Vila, are you joking?"

As a goddess, Mei Vise naturally wouldn't mishear.

She often teased and joked with Wei Vila like close friends, so she assumed Wei Vila was just being playful.

When the two goddesses were together, Mei Vise occasionally played tricks too.

Wei Vila said: "Mei Vise, I'm not lying. I truly have an 11th-level divine essence now."

As she spoke, the aura around Wei Vila changed.

She released the aura of her divine essence.

The moment Mei Vise sensed Wei Vila's aura and presence, her beautiful little face was instantly flooded with stunned disbelief.

"Wei Vila… you… how is this possible, your divine essence…"

Mei Vise, a second-tier goddess, suddenly began speaking with stammering hesitation.

One could imagine the magnitude of her shock!

She blinked her eyes, confirming over and over again whether she had misperceived.

She confirmed it again and again, and each time received the same confirmation.

She had not misperceived!

Wei Vila's divine essence truly possessed the divine essence and aura unique to the third tier.

Aura can be faked.

But divine essence cannot be faked.

Divine essence refers to the unique "flavor" emitted when divine power and cosmic laws reach a certain level, perceptible to gods.

"Third tier!"

Mei Vise murmured.

Her own progress and Wei Vila's had been nearly identical.

They had once agreed to ascend to 10th-level divine essence and divine body together.

But Wei Vila had advanced ahead of schedule.

Advancing ahead wasn't unusual — it simply meant Wei Vila had become more diligent, or had gotten lucky and suddenly understood the key to ascending to 10th-level divine essence.

If that were the case, Mei Vise would still be astonished, but she would also be happy for Wei Vila.

But now, Wei Vila had not ascended to 10th-level divine essence!

She had leapt directly to 11th-level divine essence.

This didn't just astonish Mei Vise — it stunned her!

The difference between 10th-level and 11th-level divine essence seemed only one level.

But it meant two tiers.

One was the second tier.

One was the third tier.

The meaning was entirely different.

The power difference was immense.

In fact, among gods, even a one-level gap meant a significant shift in power.

Each tier contained only five levels.

But the power gap between tiers was even greater!

Breaking through each tier became increasingly difficult.

Mei Vise was confident she could break through to the peak of the second tier within decades — and if she worked harder, she could achieve it within ten years.

Because she and Wei Vila had held 9th-level divine essence and divine bodies for a long time, their accumulation was already immense.

But even if she were given a thousand years, she had little confidence in reaching the third tier.

Yet now, Wei Vila had become a third-tier goddess outright!

Even if she had only an 11th-level divine essence, she was already more than half a third-tier goddess.

This transformed Mei Vise's initial astonishment into utter shock!

In Mei Vise's eyes, it was astonishing beyond belief!

In fact, not just Mei Vise — any other elf goddess who saw Wei Vila's transformation would be equally stunned.

No matter how you looked at it, it didn't seem real!

"Wei Vila, is this real? The third tier? You've become a third-tier great goddess!"

Mavis still asked uncertainly.

Vivela said: "Yes, Mavis, I am now a Third-Level Great Goddess."

Mavis continued to stare at Vivela, back and forth.

Then she walked around Vivela.

As if trying to see through her.

"Incredible."

It wasn't until over an hour later that Mavis finally accepted the truth.

After briefly processing her shock, Mavis began to rejoice for Vivela.

"Vivela, congratulations."

Mavis said.

Vivela said: "Thank you, Mavis."

Mavis handed the basket to Vivela: "I've mixed the Eight-Color Divine Soil for you—this basket of Eight-Color Divine Soil is yours as a gift, a congratulatory present. By the way, Vivela, now that you've reached the Third Level, will you host a celebration banquet? No goddess has held a banquet in centuries."

She couldn't help but feel eager.

The Mendeyan Society of the Elf Goddesses was attended only by Elf Goddesses, each bringing at most a few minor elves; the goddesses gathered in their divine realms, feasted, chatted, and such gatherings often lasted many days before ending.

But goddesses never hosted banquets without reason.

Usually, only when a goddess achieved a major breakthrough in power would she host a banquet.

Neither Mavis nor Vivian held a banquet when their divine cores reached Level 9.

Banquets were typically held only for major milestones like breaking through a level.

"A banquet? I haven't decided yet."

Vivela said.

To be precise, Vivela hadn't even thought about a banquet yet.

Lately, Vivela had been too busy.

Her divine body had just risen to Level 11 and needed stabilization; she also had to help Lin Yan collect the items needed to raise his divine body to Level 14.

Moreover, Lin Yan had left her higher-tier divine energy when he departed, and she needed time to comprehend it, then strive to elevate her divine core to Level 12.

As for hosting a banquet to celebrate—

She had never considered it.

Upon hearing this, Mavis said: "That's true, there's no rush to celebrate. Vivela, you've just reached Level 11 in your divine core—you'll need time to stabilize it. Also, your divine body must be raised as soon as possible to unlock your Third-Level combat power."

Hmm, Mavis thought Vivela was Level 10 in divine body.

Although she had just sensed the change in Vivela's divine body, still—

Gods of lower power could not accurately perceive the divine energy of gods far stronger than themselves.
