Just at this time, an old Treant said with a complicated expression, "In the Endless Continent, there is no other Elven Goddess who can compete with Her Majesty except the Mother Goddess!"
Some younger citizens asked, "Who is the 'Mother Goddess'?"
The Treant first explained about Elunara's sacrifices during the Ancient Era and then said, "We, who are chasing the Truth, cannot forget the brilliance and sacrifices of the Mother Goddess. If it wasn't for her, then let alone prospering so much, we would've been exterminated by the Dimensional Demons."
"However, Her Majesty's contributions to our prosperity can't be ignored either. If it wasn't for the transfer magic created by her, how could the Elves have spread all over the Endless Continent?"
Soon, debates arose within the Imperial Capital. Some hailed Elunara's sacrifices, while others advocated that Aurelyss had a bigger role in the Elf Empire's prosperity.
But all of it was stopped when an 'Elder' of the Elf Empire stood up and said in his authoritative voice, "One is our Mother Goddess and the other is our Empress, so why argue?"
"The elder is correct!" Seeing that the two terrifying Divine Auras have disappeared, which means that the disagreements between the Goddesses have come to an end, the two arguing sides also quietened down.
The empire's Gods also didn't dare to interfere. They knew their limits and knew that they would immediately die if they even stepped near the battlefield. Moreover, most of these Gods and Goddesses have lived since the Ancient Era, or they at least knew about Elunara's sacrifices so they didn't want to go to war against her.
…
Back in the core region of the Imperial Capital.
"Aurelyss, my child!" Elunara put away the coldness and said with a smile, "Do you want to duel with your Mother Goddess?"
"…" Aurelyss was silent. Elunara's way of addressing her made her eyelids twitch. She was the Empress of one of the greatest empires in the Endless Continent. Her strength was on a whole another level when compared to the Ice Queen Eira.
Even the Elven Mother Tree that gave birth to her wouldn't dare to call her 'my child' but here, in front of Elunara, her status was useless and Aurelyss was unable to refute her because she was the 'Ancestor' of Elves on the Endless Continent, which was something that wouldn't change with time. Anyways, she was still very upset.
"How could it be?" Aurelyss tried her best to suppress her inner impulse to jump Elunara and said with a calm expression, "I am a Nature Elf, how can I offend the Mother Goddess?"
Elunara said with a smile, "That's good."
Aurelyss said impatiently, "This is the core area of 'my' empire's imperial capital and even the empire's higher-ups cannot approach without my permission."
This was because the God Tier Elven Mother Tree was extremely important for the empire. All the other Elven Mother Trees that exist in the Endless Continent were cultivated through this one. Once something happened to it, the Elves would lose their ability to cultivate new Elven Mother Trees.
Hearing her words, Elunara did not get angry, but said with a smile, "My child, do you know that this place used to be my temple? It was here that I built the land of Elves with my first temple as the center. Are you telling me to leave my homeland?"
"..." Aurelyss was left speechless. Elunara's words made her feel like an aggressor. She composed herself and said, "The past is gone, Your Holiness, we should chase the future. If you want to build a temple, then I can help you find a new planet for you to spread your faith."
Elunara glanced at her and said, "Do you think I returned to the Endless Continent with the Nature Pantheon to compete with you for dominance over the Elves?"
"Then why did Your Holiness visit the Empire today?" Aurelyss decisively changed the subject. She didn't want to argue with Elunara anymore.
Elunara explained, "To form an alliance."
"An alliance?" The Empress looked stunned. She had expected a lot of possibilities, but she did not expect this.
Elunara said, "This time the Divine War would be far more tragic than the Ancient Era. I got this news from Svetlana, that the Demon Emperor would lead the Demon Monarchs and the Demonic Army himself. Therefore, I propose that my Nature Pantheon should cooperate with the Elf Empire."
"This…" Aurelyss hesitated for a moment and then said, "It's not impossible."
She believed that since this news was provided by Svetlana herself, then it should be credible. Moreover, forming an alliance with the Nature Pantheon was extremely beneficial for the empire. As for the conflict between 'Faith' and 'Truth', that was secondary. After defeating the Dimensional Demons, they could just have another battle.
"We still need more allies." Elunara said, "I've found one!"
The Empress asked curiously, "Which force is it that could catch Her Holiness' attention? Is it the Dragon Empire?"
There were only three high level intelligent races in the Endless Continent. They were the Thunder Titans, Elves and Dragons. Among them, pure blooded Thunder Titans disappeared from the Endless Continent during the Ancient Era. Since they believed that it was impossible for them to defeat the Demons, they took all the Thunder Titans and retreated back to Obrys, their own planet.
The remaining Titans were all descendants of the Thunder Titans and weren't included in the list of high level intelligent races so this only left the Dragons. Although they weren't allies and had their differences, if they were to ally, their combined strength would be terrifying.
