2 hours later they stood in front of a large white temple that looked like something from ancient Japan. Lily had always wanted to visit ancient times in all kinds of worlds and now she had the chance. The next thing she wanted to visit was Olympus where the Greek gods lived, and she happened to have The Holy Grail which had to be delivered to Hephaestus who was known as the god of blacksmith. She also had Excalibur to deliver to King Arthur and she hoped to be able to visit Avalon if it even existed. She should bring Ace with her when she went there since his guild was called Avalon and he would appreciate it.
There was a large white bird sitting on either side of the temple that looked like Articuno from Pokémon and for a moment she thought it was a Pokémon quest she had to complete and was suddenly confused.
"Who or what lives in the temple?" she asked.
"It’s a temple that worships the Spirit God." Jun De replied and they went inside.
They were standing in a huge garden that had a fountain with a stone bird that reminded her of the red bird that came from Lin's temple. The man she had met there had said it was a spirit bird and this was the Spirit City, so she wasn't completely stupid. They had a connection and if the man they worshiped here was the Spirit God it meant that he reacted over the spirit birds.
She had no idea where she was going and said, “Can you show me the way. It looks like you know the place.”
“Okay beautiful lady.” replied Jun De and they started walking a little faster.
Lily was glad that this time she had a destination.
10 minutes later they were standing in a huge hall where there was a large altar with a large stone statue of a man standing and looking straight out. At his feet was a mass of large orbs lying all around. There were many people present and she saw that people placed small white balls in front of the large orbs and then knelt and prayed. So, they prayed with small balls instead of candles.
She wondered why Jun De had been allowed to come in here.
She looked around and couldn't see any people that looked important and whispered to him, "Who should I talk to?"
"Before, it was your system that showed the way, but your quest is different. You must wait for the person to find you.” he answered.
Lily didn't have time to wait days for the person because she knew that type was stubborn, so she decided to find her own way to attract the person. She walked over to the statue and looked at all the orbs. Although it was a temple where one worshiped a god, she could use it to pray for the person she came for. Since she didn't have the kind of balls that people used here to worship, she took a spirit pearl out and placed it on the altar.
Suddenly she heard a man say, “Excuse me miss but you only use spirit orbs here to worship.” and chuckled.

She turned around and saw a young man with short black hair who was tall and slim and wearing a white hanfu. He didn't look like an important person, but she knew that you shouldn't judge by looks only as she was a good example.
She became embarrassed and replied, “I had nothing else to use. I have a package from Goddess Theia, but I don't know who to give it to.” and sighed deeply.
When the man saw her face, his eyes widened and he said, "Please follow me."
They were led out to a small living room where there was a man sitting with his back to them at a table. He had medium length black hair and was tall and slim with a perfect figure.
“Master. This woman has something from Goddess Theia.” said the man standing next to Lily.
When the man at the table heard him, he turned, and Lily was surprised to see him from the front. He had pale skin and his eyes looked like a galaxy and were incredibly beautiful and they reminded her of Eco, but this man had a different face, and he was also very beautiful. He looked like a god from another world and her cheeks blushed.
Could they be twin brothers?
The man smiled and introduced himself, “My name is Light and that is Hao.”
Lily walked over to him and took out the package, put it on the table and said, "I have a cleric and eternal life quest but don't know who to talk to."'
The man held out his right hand and said, "Here."
Lily had no idea what he meant and thought he was going to shake hands and gave him her hand.
At the same moment, she heard a lot of pinging sounds:
Congratulations. You have received eternal life.
Congratulations. You have received the Cleric class.
Congratulations. You have unlocked a Hidden class.
Congratulations. You have received the class, Goddess.
Congratulations. You have received the title, Mirage Master.
She was so excited that she ran over and hugged him in joy but suddenly remembered that they were strangers.
She quickly let go of him and cleared her throat, saying, “Sorry. I was just so happy.”
Light smiled and said, "It doesn't matter." and took out a white package and placed it on the table.
“This is your reward as Mirage Master.” he explained.
"Wow, thank you my lord." She said excitedly even though she didn't know what a Mirage Master was, but she would check it out when she got outside.
She just knew that they were synonyms like illusion and hallucination, so it had to have something to do with it.
Did that mean she was now some kind of illusion master?
She would have hit the jackpot this time if it was true.
She said goodbye to Light nicely and as she was about to leave, he asked, "Do you need space rings?"
She had no idea what it was in this world but only knew them from the wuxia world. She looked at him and saw that he was serious and suddenly her heart started beating faster. She could see and touch a real space item and her hands were eager to touch one. As she was about to answer she remembered that she had her system, so she didn't need a space ring.
"Thank you very much, but I already have the system." she declined nicely.
Light became serious and said, “Don't use that system too much. Bring them anyway. Maybe you can still enjoy them.” and took out a white square jewelry box with a purple bow and gave it to her.
Lily felt like she was being proposed to and her cheeks blushed and her heart beat faster and accepted the box shyly.
"Thank you very much my lord." she said, smiling.
When Light saw her smile his cheeks reddened and he quickly looked away and said, “Get off with you. There's probably a lot to celebrate. Do not disappoint me."
“I could never disappoint you my lord then I will punish myself. Ha, ha, ha.” Lily said out loud, ecstatic.
She ran out of the temple with Jun De not caring what others thought of her because she had gained eternal life and become an illusion master perhaps.
