312: Chapter 313 The Sleeping God

Finally, the light of the magic circle reached its peak!

Beams of azure, pure white, and pitch black soared into the sky, only to quietly converge beneath the dome without causing any destruction. Within the pillars of light, three slender, exquisitely graceful figures slowly coalesced from illusions into solid forms. Like spirits awakened from a deep slumber, they descended into this world from the far side of the radiance.

However, as the light gradually withdrew and the magic circle slowly dissipated, revealing the three figures completely, Lin Muyang and all the concealed young ladies were slightly stunned.

The three newly descended girls actually had their eyes closed, as if they had fallen into the deepest of sleeps, completely unaware of their surroundings. They simply suspended quietly in the air half a foot off the ground. Then, as the power of the magic circle completely vanished, they drifted slowly and gently toward the polished floor like feathers that had lost their support, yet they still showed no signs of waking.

"Asleep?" Lin Muyang's brow twitched slightly; this was the first time he had encountered such a situation. Even if the girls summoned in the past were a bit dazed or wary upon first arriving in another world, there had never been a precedent for them falling directly into a deep sleep.

He waved his hand, canceling the Divine Concealment Aura that shrouded the girls. The figures of over a dozen young ladies, including Alice, Lilia, and Elabess, instantly appeared throughout the hall. They all looked with wonder and confusion at the three strangers drifting quietly down, appearing like sleeping princesses from a fairy tale.

Lin Muyang took a few steps forward, using an invisible force to support the three girls just before they touched the ground, letting them hover steadily in front of him. He studied them carefully.

The first was the girl from the azure magic circle. She had long blue hair like deep-sea waves, with natural curls at the ends that draped behind her, almost reaching her ankles. She wore a simple, ancient-style long dress that seemed woven from the finest sea-blue silk and shimmering water, the hem adorned with tiny pearls and shells like star sand. Her features were exquisitely beautiful, her skin so pale it was almost transparent, possessing an ethereal beauty that seemed untouched by the mortal world. Her long eyelashes cast faint shadows on her eyelids, and the corners of her mouth seemed to naturally carry a hint of gentle serenity. Even in sleep, a vast, inclusive, and life-giving rhythm of water faintly flowed around her.

The second was the girl from the pure white magic circle. She possessed smooth, shiny silver-white short hair, styled cleanly and sharply to accentuate her elegant, slender neck. Her clothing was simple yet peculiar, appearing to be a form-fitting battle skirt woven from the softest clouds and starlight, entirely white except for faint golden patterns along the edges. Her features were three-dimensional and distinct, carrying a neutral handsomeness and heroism; even in sleep, a hint of a warrior's resolve was etched between her brows. Her Aura was ethereal, free, and unrestrained, as if she could dissolve into the wind and soar above the nine heavens at any moment.

The third was the girl from the pitch-black magic circle. Her long hair was a deep brown, like the most fertile soil, gleaming with a healthy luster under the hall's lights and tied loosely behind her head. She wore form-fitting armor made of an unknown deep brown material with rock-like textures. The armor was cleverly designed, balancing protection and flexibility, making her look steady and capable. Her face was not as stunning as the first two, but it had a sense of breadth and reliability like the earth, with a straight bridge of the nose and slightly pursed lips, giving a solid impression of trustworthiness. Her Aura was the most stable and restrained, like an eternal mountain range silently supporting everything.

Three girls, three completely different temperaments and aesthetics, yet all were in a deep sleep, unresponsive to the outside world.

Lin Muyang's confusion grew. He focused his mind, and deep within his eyes, an indescribably profound light quietly ignited. Eye of Creation, activate.

His gaze swept over the three sleeping girls in turn.

When their specific information appeared in his perception in the form of data streams and energy patterns, even Lin Muyang, who was long accustomed to great storms, couldn't help but have his pupils contract slightly, an irrepressible look of surprise appearing on his face.

"This..."

He muttered to himself, his voice carrying a hint of disbelief.

"Goddess of the Ocean... Nara."

"Goddess of the Sky... Nasha."

"Goddess of the Earth... Naro."

"All three are true deities? And..." His gaze fell upon their status bars, where the same troublesome entry was clearly marked—'Divine Power Exhausted, Fallen into Eternal Slumber.'

Lin Muyang stood to the side and observed quietly for a moment. The three sleeping girls lay side-by-side on a soft, large bed, their breathing long and even, their chests rising and falling slightly as if they were just having a peaceful and long dream. Their faces were serene, and their exquisite features looked even more like finely carved works of art under the soft light filtering through the window frames, without a single trace of pain or struggle.

He scanned their basic attributes with the Eye of Creation once more, and the results were still shocking. Even though their level was only 1, the sum of their four-dimensional attributes actually exceeded one hundred thousand! This value far surpassed the base attributes of an ordinary level 100 powerhouse and even approached some well-equipped Class Transferees around level 150.

"At just level 1, their base attributes have reached over a hundred thousand..." Lin Muyang marveled in his heart again. "If I train them to level 100, the attribute growth from leveling alone would probably make it easy for their total attributes to break through two or three million."

And these attributes of just over a hundred thousand were merely their base state without any external buffs or skill enhancements. If Lin Muyang applied the Attribute Amplification Aura to them, their attributes could instantly soar to the terrifying level of several millions! This innate talent was simply impossibly strong, perfectly worthy of their status as goddesses.

"Currently, their state is 'Divine Power Exhausted'," Lin Muyang withdrew his gaze, his brow slightly furrowed as he pondered. "I can neither wake them from this deep slumber nor use conventional means to check exactly what skills or innate talents they possess, or how they ended up in this state. However..."

His gaze swept over those three serene and beautiful sleeping faces again, his eyes becoming profound. "Since they are titled the Goddess of the Ocean, the Goddess of the Sky, and the Goddess of the Earth, the authority they represent and their potential combat power are definitely not to be underestimated. Once they awaken and recover their strength, they will likely far exceed our current imagination."

They might even bring some unexpected variables or surprises. Of course, the prerequisite for all of this is finding a way to wake them up.

"Master~" A soft, seductive voice, tinged with laziness and cunning, sounded beside him, interrupting Lin Muyang's thoughts.

The Succubus Maiden Elabess had followed him at some point. She walked lightly to Lin Muyang's side and, with a playful smile, looked at the three sleeping princesses on the bed. Then she leaned close to Lin Muyang's ear and said in a mischievous whisper that only the two of them could hear, "Do you think... to wake these sleeping beauties, it might require a true love's kiss from a handsome prince, just like in the fairy tales?"

Hearing this, the corner of Lin Muyang's mouth couldn't help but twitch. He gave this succubus, who was always looking for trouble, a somewhat helpless glance. "Where did you hear such nonsense?"

"Hmm... doesn't Earth have a very popular fairy tale called Sleeping Beauty?" Elabess blinked her large, soul-stirring eyes, wearing an 'I know everything' expression. "The cursed princess in it slept for a hundred years and was finally awakened by a prince's kiss. Look, their situation is so similar~"

"You also know that's a fairy tale," Lin Muyang said irritably. Although the state of these three women was indeed somewhat similar, using a kiss to wake goddesses who had exhausted their divine power? That was far too unreliable.

"Just give it a try; trying won't hurt~" Elabess giggled, covering her mouth as she continued to egg him on, her eyes sparkling with mischievous light. "What if it actually works? Besides, with three such beautiful goddess ladies, you won't be the one losing out~"

"I think you're itching for a lesson, deliberately looking for trouble." Lin Muyang glared at her and reached out like lightning, giving her perky curve a firm but not overly heavy slap.

"Ah!" Elabess let out a soft cry, and two patches of crimson instantly flushed her pale cheeks. Although Lin Muyang did this quite often in private, there was more than just the two of them in the room right now! Although the other young ladies pretended not to see—some suppressed giggles, others turned to look out the window—the omnipresent gazes still made her feel a wave of bashfulness.

She gave Lin Muyang a coy glare but didn't dare offer any more terrible ideas.

Lin Muyang also felt a bit embarrassed and cleared his throat, turning his attention back to business. Elabess's suggestion was pure nonsense; how could waking a goddess depend on a kiss? This would inevitably involve more complex energy replenishment, resonance of laws, or some specific ritual.

"Master, why don't we let them stay with me for now?" A gentle, clear voice sounded, breaking the brief, awkward atmosphere.

The Angel Maiden Elena stepped forward. She wore a pure white form-fitting long dress, her white wings folded behind her, her temperament holy and gentle. She looked at the three sleeping girls on the bed, then at Lin Muyang, and suggested softly, "I'm mostly in the garden and rarely need to go out to battle, so I have a lot of free time. I can help look after them and check on their condition regularly. Also, my place is quite spacious and quiet, suitable for recovery."

Lin Muyang thought about it and felt the suggestion was good. Elena was gentle, careful, and had a strong sense of responsibility. Having her look after these three goddesses in their special state was indeed more reassuring than leaving them alone or handing them over to the flighty Lilia or the mischievous Elabess.

"Alright, then I'll trouble you, Elena." Lin Muyang nodded, using the Gravity Control Aura to gently lift the three sleeping girls. "We'll settle them at your place first. If there are any abnormal changes, notify me immediately."

"Yes, I will. Please rest assured, Master." Elena agreed with a smile and led Lin Muyang, bringing the three girls toward her loft in the Eternal Garden.
