Chapter 800: Mavis

Of course, Vivela had no intention of monopolizing Lin Yan.

She and Lin Yan hadn't even formally confirmed their relationship yet.

Still, in the eyes of adorable Goddess Vivela, as long as she could stay by Lin Yan's side, she was perfectly content.

If she could go further with Lin Yan…

Hmm, just thinking about it made Vivela blush, and she dared not continue the thought.

But occasionally, while sleeping, she dreamed of scenes that made her blush for days.

In those dreams, Lin Yan's face was unnervingly clear.

Oh my heavens!

She was a goddess who had never held a man's hand, not even once coming within a hundred meters of any other man.

As a goddess, she could easily have stopped herself from dreaming.

But Vivela didn't.

Even though those dreams made her blush.

Yet, in truth, they were also her subconscious desires!

"Vivela, you're daydreaming again."

Mavis's voice sounded.

Vivela snapped back to reality and invited, "Mavis, I'll first pray to the Divine Lord. If He agrees, we'll wait until He returns to sign the contract—until then, please stay and enjoy my divine realm."

Mavis said, "Of course, Vivela. I have nothing urgent lately anyway."

Vivela then prayed to Lin Yan, informing him of Mavis's request.

Within the Even the Heavenly Realm's sun, Lin Yan's vast fire net swept back and forth across its surface.

He rapidly gathered divine substances.

The divine substances within the Even the Heavenly Realm's sun were not fixed in place but constantly flowing.

The Even the Heavenly Realm's sun operated on principles vastly different from the sun Lin Yan had known before his transmigration.

It teemed with energy so terrifying it dwarfed the sun of his former world.

Lin Yan discovered that regions he had already swept would later have new divine substances flowing in.

But their density would be drastically lower.

So Lin Yan never doubled back.

Nor did he need to.

The Even the Heavenly Realm's sun was too vast; even sweeping as he did, he had yet to cover even one hundred-millionth of its area.

Thus, Lin Yan simply focused on collecting where divine substances were most concentrated.

His accumulation increased rapidly.

At that moment, Lin Yan heard Vivela's prayer.

In the divine system, a god's prayer held priority even above that of a Holy Maiden.

The reason was simple.

Each of Lin Yan's Holy Maidens prayed to him daily, reporting on their day's work.

Some prayers contained vital information; others did not.

But gods within the divine system rarely prayed unless they had something urgent.

Thus, all gods in the divine system naturally took precedence.

Of course, sequence still mattered.

Currently, Lin Yan's divine system had only one goddess—Vivela—and she was the first-sequence deity!

"Goddess Mavis."

After listening to Vivela's prayer, Lin Yan paused, then responded.

In Vivela's divine realm, Mavis watched Vivela with slight nervousness.

Yet she said nothing, waiting patiently.

Vivela waited just as patiently.

About three minutes later, Vivela turned to face Mavis.

Seeing Vivela's expression, Mavis's heart began to race.

But the next second, Vivela exclaimed happily, "Wonderful, Mavis! The Divine Lord has agreed!"

"Really?"

Mavis was overjoyed too.

Vivela said, "The Divine Lord won't return for a while, but once he does, we can sign the contract."

Mavis nodded.

Divine system contracts generally required face-to-face signing.

Because gods are so powerful, signing without direct presence rarely succeeds.

Thus, Mavis remained as a guest in Vivela's divine realm.

And Vivela continued stabilizing her Level 11 divine body.

Time passed slowly.

Within the Even the Heavenly Realm's sun, Lin Yan continued gathering divine substances.

In Vivela's divine realm, all remained calm and ordinary.

In the elf's divine domain, Star God Hulington's blazing divine realm still roared with flames.

Every day, some holy spirits came to watch.

This battle had spread throughout the nearby Divine Realms.

Many gods in the nearby Divine Realms now knew: a ruthless master of flame had come from the No Heavenly Realm, slaying four gods in a single day!

He had even killed a Third-Tier Great God!

These four gods all belonged to those who had not joined any divine system, so there was no question of older relatives coming to avenge them.

No god from the No Heavenly Realm wished to avenge them.

In the No Heavenly Realm, Lin Yan could now develop in peace for a while.

On the Continent of Gods, the Flame Empire was also growing rapidly.

The four western provinces need not be mentioned—they were the Flame Empire's birthplace, its core, and also its most prosperous region.

Under the Flame Empire's population incentives, the four western provinces had seen a massive surge in newborns.

Including these newborns, the population of the four western provinces had already surpassed ninety million, steadily advancing toward one hundred million.

The Flame Empire had more grain than it could use; there was no worry about feeding its people.

In the Endless Desert, after the Demon God's heart had been dealt with, all threats vanished.

Sister Qing Ling mobilized large numbers of workers to plant vast quantities of cotton in the higher-altitude, sunnier, still-dry regions of the Endless Desert.

Vast stretches of cotton fields appeared across the Endless Desert.

This cotton was ideal for making cotton robes and quilts.

Other cash crops in the Endless Desert were also ripening and gaining great popularity in the Flame Empire's four western provinces.

The western region of the Flame Empire, especially the Western Grand Province, had become remarkably wealthy—even commoners now held substantial savings.

They could occasionally enjoy specialties from other regions of the Flame Empire.

In contrast, the thirteen northeastern provinces, though larger in population and area, were still far less prosperous than the four western provinces.

But over time, the thirteen northeastern provinces began to grow more prosperous than before.

The commoners there, of course, having lived a life they once could only dream of, now held unshakable faith in the Master of Flame.

The nobles, under the threat of the Edict of Grace and the lure of gold coins, had long forgotten the old imperial house and the gods.

All thirteen provinces were developing rapidly.

Land was being systematically cultivated everywhere; roads were under construction everywhere.

The airship production lines were also expanding continuously.

Next to the City of Miracles, the forest once inhabited by the Fox Clan had been leveled.

Large numbers of new factories were built there.

A magic cart rail line now ran directly into that area.
