Farming in a Parallel World and Becoming a God

"Didn’t you come with me?" the two spoke in unison.

"Did you come for the secret portal here?" they again spoke in unison.

Both were intelligent, and their questions led to a series of guesses.

Gaven’s change of plan towards Samoray involved a series of unexpected factors and was a temporary decision. The only enemy aware was the Voice of Grazte, but he was bound by a contract and could not inform anyone.

Encountering Triple Shadows Taharissi here was purely coincidental.

Her purpose wasn’t hard to guess—she was also searching for the secret portal to leave Azegrat.

The reason was simple.

She had backstabbed an incarnation of Baron Blood at a critical moment, causing it to perish at Gaven’s hands.

The Wealth Goddess Contract was lost because of her, and she bore unshirkable responsibility.

Whichever reason, her stay in Azegrat would not end well.

Leaving here, avoiding danger, was the best choice.

Knowing a secret portal existed here was only natural for her.

She had been a member of the Lady Gun Cavalry before gaining special favor from Prince Ubar after becoming a demigod, which led her to leave the organization.

Triple Shadows Taharissi noticed the other wasn’t there to hunt her down and breathed a long sigh of relief while quickly adapting: "Take me out of here, or I’ll fight to the death, and no one will leave."

She was truly frightened by Gaven’s means and didn’t want to be his enemy unless absolutely necessary, even if the other members of his demigod adventure team had already been sent back.

She had abandoned any hope of retrieving the Wealth Goddess Contract.

Or rather, the Wealth Goddess Contract alone could no longer redeem her.

All she wanted was to leave quickly.

But the portal here was very peculiar; she studied it for a long time yet couldn’t open it, unable even to perceive its existence, even though she had seen and entered it before.

Just because she couldn’t do it doesn’t mean Gaven couldn’t.

She recognized Gaven’s abilities regarding portals as much as his cunning.

"Alright," Gaven answered readily.

He didn’t want any more troubles either; he couldn’t handle Triple Shadows on his own.

If they fought, extricating himself would be hard.

He quickly added: "If I can open this portal, please share your intelligence with me."

"On the full moon night on the Felen Continent, these stairs become part of the Endless Heavenly Ladder. No matter if walked upwards or downwards, one could enter the Endless Heavenly Ladder.

But now it’s the beginning of the month, thirteen days from the full moon night.

I originally planned to wait here for thirteen days, but now you’ve arrived too, so I fear we can’t wait that long, as pursuers could arrive at any moment.

If you can’t resolve it soon, you’ll have to find another way."

Taharissi’s answer clearly carried traces of resentment.

She was obviously implicated by Gaven this time.

Now the entire Azegrat was in chaos, with Samoray’s ruling class completely wiped out.

Normally, no one would notice here in the short term; she merely needed to hide until the secret portal opened itself, disappearing silently.

Once on the Material Plane, neither Baron Blood nor Prince Ubar would have a way to deal with her.

"This isn’t a coincidence but inevitable; many portals of the Endless Heavenly Ladder are related to Felen’s lunar phases since it was originally a masterpiece of Felen’s Moon Goddess Suren during her period of strong divine power."

As Gaven spoke, he carefully examined the section of stairs, trying to find any clues.

He wasn’t unfamiliar with the Endless Heavenly Ladder, quite the contrary, he was familiar with it.

But this familiarity didn’t come from this life but from his past life.

In the past, in pursuit of the Moon Goddess Suren’s advanced divine artifact, Tears of Sulun, he couldn’t even recall how many times he ventured into the Endless Heavenly Ladder, climbing its countless steps.

He relied on it in his past life to traverse the entire Multiverse.

This was another reason why Gaven came without hesitation upon hearing the secret portal led to the Endless Heavenly Ladder.

The fragments of the High Tier Divine Artifact Tears of Sulun were still within his soul.

Gaven was very aware of the close relationship between Tears of Sulun and the Endless Heavenly Ladder, perhaps they could produce a wonderful reaction.

Thus, as he approached the stairs, Gaven focused more on the moon within his soul than the stairs.

The moon, originally a static backdrop in Gaven’s soul, was now subtly changing—the lunar phase was shifting.

From a waning crescent moon, it gradually became fuller, showing signs of transitioning into a full moon.

The stairs in front of Gaven emitted a faint moonlight glow, responding from a distance.

Things weren’t progressing as smoothly as imagined; the moonlight glow on the stairs was just a faint layer, barely discernible by the naked eye, still far from opening the portal.

Correspondingly, the lunar phase change in Gaven’s soul was presently only from a crescent moon to a waxing crescent moon, still halfway there.

Gaven clearly felt its strained effort; its previous injury was far too severe.

And Gaven hadn’t had time to repair it, only passively accompanied his growth, slowly absorbing strength for self-repair.
