Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest

-----

Elayne was brought to tears by the goddess’s kindness. She nodded and gently held one of the giant woman’s fingers. "Thank you, Lady Amaterasu... thank you for your kindness! I will never forget it!"

"I hope you never do," Amaterasu replied warmly. "Now come here."

The giantess extended her pristine white palm, smooth as silk. Elayne stepped onto it and was swiftly lifted high into the sky. Amaterasu leaned closer, and her lips pressed against Elayne in a kiss that enveloped her entire body at once.

"Uwaaah?!"

Elayne let out a startled cry as the goddess’s loving kiss covered her in warm, red lip essence. It slowly melted into her skin and flesh, blending with her spiritual energy and surging through her as powerful divine power—a true blessing.

"With this Divine Kiss, I seal the bond we share today," Amaterasu declared, her cheeks flushed. "I have granted you my greatest blessing, the Blessing of Love. From now on, we are bound together in blissful marriage."

"...?" Elayne raised an eyebrow at the final words, even as an overwhelming surge of power coursed through her body and divine spirit core. "W-Wait! What was that last part?!"

"OOOOHHHHH!"

The Kami erupted in celebration, raising their arms high. Elayne blazed with Divine Sunlight Power as a new divinity forged itself within her, empowered by Amaterasu’s gift. At the same moment, her appearance transformed: her hair turned into flowing red-gold strands, she wore a long dress of white, red, and gold reminiscent of Amaterasu’s own, and a radiant crown shaped like a tree and sun appeared above her head.

"Congratulations, Elayne!" Kaguya exclaimed. "You’ve received the strongest blessing! You are now Heaven’s Chosen!"

"Heaven’s Chosen...?!" Elayne stood utterly shocked, struggling to process what was happening. "Wait a second, Lady Amaterasu—what does this mean? And why did you say marriage?"

"Oh, you seem unaware..." Amaterasu gasped, covering her mouth with delicate surprise. "My greatest blessing is the Blessing of Sunlight’s Love and Grace. It is a Marriage Bond. You are now married to the Sun—married to me."

"W-What?! Wait a second...! I have... I mean, Mark, right?! I can’t just...!" Elayne’s face flushed bright red as panic rose within her.

"There’s nothing to worry about. It is not the same as mortal marriage," Amaterasu reassured her gently. "This is a Soul Bond. Heaven’s Chosen have always married the Heavens and the Sun. The last time I formed such a bond was with the Valiant Prince of Japan, Yamato—the boy who shaped the nation. He was my first mortal consort. Though we never consummated the marriage; it remained a sacred bond, a formality set by the Mandate of Heaven."

"Uh... Ah! Okay..." Elayne let out a relieved sigh. "So there’s no... uh, romance or anything, right?"

"Unless you want there to be," Amaterasu said with a warm smile that made Elayne’s heart race. "Fufu, I was joking. I have no room for romance, let alone mortal desires. I am a divine being. To me, romance is platonic at best. Sorry to disappoint you."

"A-Ah! No, no, that’s completely fine!" Elayne nodded quickly. "T-Thank you. Um... is this attire...?"

"It is your Divine Attire," Amaterasu explained. "You have now been crowned a Grand Kami and Heaven’s Chosen of Takamagahara. Congratulations."

"Uh... Uh-huh..." Elayne murmured, still dazed, as she rose to Amaterasu’s towering height. The Kami around them cheered her name with pure joy. "Hmm?!"

Then she felt it—her own Divine Heroic Spirit Core resonating beautifully with the new blessing. Amaterasu’s gift was so potent it felt like an entirely new divinity awakening inside her.

Even more astonishing, the Soul Fragment—the golden crystal the other Elayne had given her—suddenly blossomed. It transformed into a beautiful seed that sprouted into a sacred tree within her soul, its roots spreading through her core and fusing deeply with it.

"Incredible..."

Several new system notifications appeared before her eyes, detailing the immense power she had gained.

Ding!

[You have received Amaterasu’s Blessing!]

[You have successfully refined the [Elayne’s True Soul Fragment] into your Second Dream Weapon: [Elayne’s True Soul Sapling – Tier 2]!]

"Oh wow, the soul fragment became my second dream weapon?!" Elayne whispered in shock, though she kept her composure in front of the watching Kami.

After the celebrations, Elayne spent some time with Kaguya, who guided her to her new Divine Land. It was one of the three hundred floating islands that orbited the gigantic palace where Amaterasu resided.

The Divine Land was a vast floating island roughly the size of Hawaii, featuring sweeping grasslands, sparkling lakes, majestic mountains, lush forests, countless rivers, and rich wetlands.

Elayne chose to settle in a beautiful flower garden nestled in the middle of a grassland. Behind her rose mountains cloaked in dense forest, while a clear river flowed peacefully beside her chosen spot.

"Divine Lands are special territories claimed by the gods in this vast Divine Realm," Kaguya explained. "Here, you can harvest Divine Treasures." She gently picked a few flowers from the ground and showed them to Elayne. "These flowers may look ordinary, but they contain dense quantities of Divine Energy. The trees, fruits, and precious ores you can mine all serve the same purpose!"

"I see. That’s fascinating," Elayne said, nodding. "But how do I use them? Do I consume them?"

"You could, but you can also refine them or use them to evolve your divine body, soul, or divinity," Kaguya replied. "I am not a full goddess yet, so I’m in a similar position to you. We could ask Amaterasu-sama or her siblings and other kind Kami for guidance."

"I see... but I would rather not be a bother," Elayne sighed. "Ah, right—I was wondering something else. In this vast divine realm, is everyone cooperating and working together?"
