The one battling Darya on the outside wasn't fake, but a real goddess as well. Her bloodline was very mysterious and this was one of her special abilities.
When her body fully formed, a thin layer of purple smoke swiftly expanded from her, arriving where all those disciples were standing in an instant. Every single one of them unconsciously inhaled that smoke and with no ceremony, their eyes turned purple.
From that moment onwards, their consciousness had already been kidnapped and everything they knew belonged to the Illusive Ethereal Goddess. Their bodies turned static, waiting while she navigated through their memories.
Searching through their minds, she was quickly able to find that probably every single one of those women, knew about a rumor of an outsider living inside the Eleventh Palace.
Even without searching for any traces of the individual she wanted to find, she would inevitably find that person, just by following her own bloodline traces flowing through that descendant's veins. However, fortunately for the Illusive Ethereal Goddess, she had found a faster alternative method.
But just as she was about to move to where the Eleventh Palace was located, eleven different auras locked into her body. The Eleventh Palace Masters were able to swiftly locate the goddess and they all came together to intercept her.
"Stop! You're not allowed to move!" Hua Jing shouted, but the Illusive Ethereal Goddess didn't even look directly at her.
The Palace Masters knew they were not strong enough to be her opponent, but they would gladly use their lives in order to stop her from doing what she wanted to do, even if just for a few minutes.
However, those women were very shaken and overly concerned with the purple female body in front of them. They missed a very important detail, just because of how much preoccupied they were with that goddess. The ancient orb was not around the Illusive Ethereal Goddess anymore; it had vanished from there.
Actually, it was already sitting right inside Meiyi's bedroom.
Just like the other one, a third real purple female silhouette formed out of the ancient purple orb. She looked at her primary target with those deep dark purple eyes and was about to do something, when all of a sudden, she stopped.
"So, you're finally here..."
Inside that small room, there was another individual that was already waiting for the Illusive Ethereal Goddess arrival. Impressively, the purple goddess hadn't noticed her presence there, until she decided to speak.
The purple goddess didn't panic, nor did she change her stance because of that. Her figure turned to face the white silhouette standing in the corner of the room and her purple eyes focused their full attention in that woman's body. However, she did nothing more than that.
"I knew you would be coming... Is she really that important for you?"
"What does someone like you have to do with this? This plane isn't a place that you should be and you shouldn't bother with its weak inhabitants either." The Illusive Ethereal Goddess replied.
"..." The Lake Goddess maintained her neutral stance.
"Differently from me, you do not belong to this place. This should be a place where we plant our lineages and let them grow; not a place to stay and hide."
The Lake Goddess heard those insulting words, but nothing seemed to affect her. She ignored everything and continued her reasoning.
"Are you sure you want to bring this girl back with you?"
The Illusive Ethereal Goddess didn't plan on answering, but she eventually just decided to say something.
"She has my bloodline flowing inside her veins and I have the rights on what to do with my people."
Even though her words seemed like she just wanted to bring a person that was lost, back to where that person belonged, in reality, the Lake Goddess knew why she was so desperately trying to put her hands on Meiyi.
The real reason for that, was already past the threshold of a mere premonition. What had happened to Meiyi's bloodline had scared the Illusive Ethereal Goddess and she needed answers.
"Then... What are you going to do with her?" This time, after asking, the Lake Goddess finally released some of her aura, creating some pressure.
The Illusive Ethereal Goddess, felt that a conflict might be inevitable and she immediately started to put her plan into work.

At the outside, the purple goddess had just finished summoning a giant purple fissure, from where a gargantuan arm stretched out, aiming to grab Darya's mermaid body and squash it.
Darya's body dove inside the lake, disappearing in those waters, but the arm kept moving downwards, as if it could see where that mermaid was. However, when it was approaching closer to the lake, the surface waters parted, revealing a gigantic water body.
A huge whale leapt out of the lake, meeting that purple arm in midair.
Boom!
The two gargantuan figures crashed, exploding in a mixture of water and ethereal particles. The shockwave generated from that collision created huge waves on the lake, that threatened to swallow the elders standing near the shore. It had wiped out more than ninety percent of the summoned creatures, that were still fighting on that area and very few of them were able to escape.
The huge purple arm collapsed and the fissure from where it came, closed.
After some minutes, the surface of the lake had finally calmed down once again. The remaining creatures that were still fighting for supremacy, had finished destroying one another, leaving only a cold breeze behind.
But suddenly, the Illusive Ethereal Goddess finally decided to break that few seconds of peace down, by totally changing the pace and style of that battle.
Her objectives changed and now, she wanted to trap that water spirit at all cost. If Darya were to stay free, the next steps of her plan would become useless. Given that she still had to deal with that woman clad in white, fighting with a strong water elemental spirit would only make her waste her precious energy in vain.
