Chương 733: Visiting The Eternal Cathedral.

Liu Shu left the library grounds two days later. She had even spent that night in Mariane's room to continue participating in the talk the following day. As she left, she saw many scientists bowing at her, calling her Grandmaster Lian Shu. Liu Shu was not vain in this regard, as it was an earned title. At the entrance, Mariane looked at the petite girl and asked softly.

"Where are you going next, you little troublemaker?" Liu Shu puffed her chubby cheeks.

"What troublemaker? I am behaving perfectly fine!" Mariane would've rolled her eyes if she had irises! Instead, she ruffled Liu Shu's hair with one of her four arms.

"Alright, whatever you say. So, where are you going?" Liu Shu looked at her "bird nest" hair and felt like crying.

'It took so much time to brush my hair this morning… Ugh.' She looked at Mariane, resentful, and snorted.

"I will first go home and have Violet fix my looks. Then, I will go to the Eternal Cathedral."

"..." Mariane was silent for a moment before lighting up a candle in her heart.

'Good luck, our religious sisters and brothers.' The two doctrines didn't collide in Golden Sap Country, getting along quite nicely. After all, knowledge of the scientific community never really targeted the religious beliefs in any way.

"Alright then. Good luck, Liu Shu." Seeing Liu Shu walk away while waving at her, Mariane smiled and waved back with her two right arms. Liu Shu returned home in 20 minutes, and once there, she eagerly went to find Violet. Seeing the disheveled look of the Little Beauty, Violet couldn't help but laugh and ruffle her hair even more.

"Hey! Hey! No more!" Violet snorted.

"What are you afraid of? It's already good enough for three bird families to settle. A little more ruffling won't do much." Liu Shu puffed again, and seeing those soft and smooth cheeks, Violet reached out to pinch them gently.

'So soft, so nice to touch.' Then, Violet smiled.

"Grey, dear, can you prepare the cosmetics? The little girl goes to…" Liu Shu smiled.

"The church!"

"Oho~?" Violet's eyes flashed in inspiration.

"Then, Grey, could you get my third and fourth bags for me, love?"

"Alright, sister Violet!" Liu Shu walked with Violet, curious.

"You are getting along quite nicely?" Violet smiled.

"Your children are all very good to me, Liu Shu. So, I've been helping even those Sylphaith darlings. While I can't change much due to their greyish skins and overly large eyes, I can still hide some defects, making their faces good-looking even without mouths!" Violet had gotten along with all the children, and she even taught them her makeup skills. To her surprise, many of her titles were undergoing transformations. Even some of her talents, which were focused on pleasure, had been transforming.

Violet was, after all, a Level 28 young woman. Therefore, her actions influenced her System Page tremendously. New Titles appearing and some even changing were not rare after Violet wholeheartedly decided to leave behind her previous profession. It was like going from a mage to a warrior, so the mage-related Titles would shift, with enough influence and potential, to become their warrior equivalent. Such feats were not easy, though.

If the System didn't detect effort, wholeheartedness, and "feats" it could use to perform the transformations, it wouldn't happen.

"I am glad you are getting along. Still, if they ever bother you too much, don't be fearful to say so." She even added.

"Grey, dear, tell your other three sisters as well to keep an eye, alright? We don't want to overwork Violet."

"Alright, Mom." Grey's steady and soothing voice reached them.

"Since you are going to the church, I will make you look pure and gentle. We should also change clothes to a beautiful white gown with some green accents. That will fit perfectly with your persona~." So, Liu Shu sat and squinted comfortably as Violet worked on her face. The touches were calming, and with Violet's exponentially growing skill, there were basically no uncomfortable moments. Not that Liu Shu ever felt uncomfortable in Violet's care.

"... and, we are done." Violet took a step back, and Liu Shu glanced at herself in the Mirror. She was instantly impressed. She looked gentle, soft, but with underlying strength in her amethyst gaze. This book is hosted on another platform. Read the official version and support the author's work. Moreover, after changing into the dress that generously but not vulgarly clung to her curves, there was a hint of holiness in her demeanor.

"Then, I will be going. Thank you, Violet!" Violet smiled and waved her hand. Grey spoke to her softly.

"It's nice to see Mom happy. Thank you, Violet." Violet chuckled.

"I am also happy, Grey. I will go toward Red. Pyara wanted me to help her, as she has a meeting today."

Liu Shu took another form of transportation, and this time, people couldn't help but stare. The other time, as she wore rather formal clothes and had an academic look, her beauty did not linger. It caught the eye, but in a formal manner. This time, Liu Shu looked radiant, gentle, and pure. It was the type of beauty that people couldn't help but stare at. Her presence was so overwhelming that no one dared to sit by her side, leaving that seat empty even when some people had to stand.

Liu Shu didn't notice, looking out of the window and wondering how her little visit would go. After all, she had not planned anything and was going with the flow.

'Was Elyne informed?' After so many years, Liu Shu's relationship with Elyne was intimate. Not romantically, of course. However, Liu Shu would often go talk with Elyne. She was, after all, the highest-ranked church member, and sometimes, to keep the church going, Elyne asked Liu Shu some favors. With her planning, Elyne had managed to eliminate all other beliefs to an extremely large extent. After all, having a "local" deity was a big plus. Who could compete?

It wasn't that Liu Shu needed or wanted to eradicate other religions. On the contrary, Liu Shu didn't care what people believed in. However, with her ever-present figure, it was impossible for those who didn't follow her religion but were religious not to feel some silent pressure. Imagine praying in front of a foreign god to your own. One couldn't do so with peace of mind, even if said god never reacted adversely. When Liu Shu arrived in front of the main Eternal Cathedral, she couldn't help but look up.

"My baby has grown so grand and beautiful." A soft and sacred voice reached Liu Shu, speaking with both reverence and respect.

"Mother, welcome." As the church, it was naturally constantly exposed to the Eternal Church's doctrines. Moreover, as Liu Shu's Lignified Baby, the Eternal Cathedral naturally had innate loyalty toward Liu Shu. Hence, as time passed, her adoration for her mother became religious. Liu Shu didn't hate that because of one detail. Her baby was not afraid of her; she just held her in extremely high esteem. If Liu Shu pampered her Little Cathedral, the other side would giggle and call out to her softly.

If the doctrines had made her Little Cathedral fearful to the point that she didn't dare interact, Liu Shu would've long given those in the church a piece of her mind!

'I have come to terms with people adoring me, but treating me as if I were a god who would smite them for not being a believer is a line I am not willing to cross!' When those at the entrance of the Eternal Cathedral saw Liu Shu walk over with measured and calm steps, her hands gently gathered in front of her, they couldn't help but pause. Liu Shu's back was straight, her face carrying a serene smile, and her disposition sacred.

Moreover, Liu Shu's jade-green hair and amethyst eyes were a symbol of the Heavenly Willow's <Eternal Avatar>!

"Who is she?"

"A divine envoy! Her hair and eyes are impossible to replicate so perfectly!"

"Impossible! The church has not announced the descent to the second <Eternal Avatar>. Only Avatar Elyne is known of."

"How do you explain her appearance, then?" Liu Shu ignored the chatter and slowly climbed up to the entrance step by step. The entrance was slightly raised, but it had other access points for those who couldn't walk. The construction was very friendly for all races, even those far larger than humans. Once she reached the top of the stairs, Liu Shu looked at the massive, open gates in front of her, and she sighed with emotion.

'So many people walk around here… I had not realized how widespread my Eternal Church has become.' As she looked up, Liu Shu felt someone approach. Looking to the side, he saw a woman with an <Eternal Saintess> robe approach with a deep frown.

"Miss, may I know who you are?" Liu Shu smiled, curious.

"Why? Did I commit any sin?" The Eternal Saintess looked at Liu Shu's appearance and spoke, her tone slightly uncomfortable.

"Miss, your looks are slightly inappropriate."

"Oh? How so?" Liu Shu squinted faintly. Even when Liu Shu was short, that gentle squint made the Eternal Saintess's heart skip a beat. She became a bit flustered, but she didn't get intimidated.

"Miss, your looks are too close to those of an <Eternal Avatar>. Such looks are only designated to those with enough authority." Liu Shu's curious look turned a notch colder.

"People can't even wear clothes as they please now because they are too similar to those of your religion? Who gave you the authority to limit others' looks and preferences for clothes?" The Saintess frowned deeply, a hint of anger appearing in her eyes. Liu Shu, however, didn't give her a single chance to speak.

"Not to mention, did I ever say I was someone of that stature? It is one thing to call out those who are parading as what they are not. However, have I not just walked up?" The people around, who at first thought the Saintess's words were quite appropriate, also frowned. The woman in front of them was clearly natural. Her looks, hair color, and eye color were what she was born with. So, the saintess's overbearingness was, this time, too much. The saintess, though, didn't think that.

Her eyes were cold as she spoke up.

"Guards! This woman is blaspheming Divine Heavenly Willow! Take her down." Liu Shu was not flustered and looked around, trying to see how much authority the Saintesses had to order people around. Even in Liu Shu's society, currying favor was something that was well known and accepted. So, of the ten stationed guards, four of them stepped forward. Seeing them approach, Liu Shu's lips arched coldly.

"I see. I hadn't checked in detail, but it seems that I need to do a bit of ego-cleansing." Then, she looked up.

"Eternal Cathedral, tie down those who dared move." Then, under the astonished eyes of those present, roots burst out from the ground, quickly tying everyone down. The Saintess's eyes almost bulged out. She knew she had messed with the wrong person. Liu Shu looked at her, snorted, and walked inside, ready to meet with Elyne and have a… nice chat.
