According to Yuri, 8 + 1 ≤ 9.

In other words, at level 80, she can even bring an extra "level 10 trash" into a level 90 dungeon!

031 MILF? No, this is called Knight's Love Song!

Singularities are equal, open to every challenger who holds a rank and dares to face their destiny.

All singularities are divided into two main types: "multiplayer" and "singleplayer". The "multiplayer" type is further divided into "multiplayer cooperative" and "multiplayer competitive".

In this world, there are only a handful of humans who can reach the eighth rank.

Therefore, information on advancements beyond the eighth rank is extremely scarce.

While people below the sixth rank are still happy to share information and help each other, once they reach this rank, everyone begins to prefer "secrecy."

"Hidden truth" is the essence of why the transcendent stand above millions of people.

The fewer people who reach the same level, the more valuable one's own power and wisdom can be.

The same principle applies to the popularity of secret societies.

In traditional understanding, the ninth-order advancement is generally considered to be a trial limited to a single individual.

However, this seemingly correct viewpoint is wrong.

The admission requirement for the Nine Star Singularities is that "the total rank of all those who can enter does not exceed that of the Singularity itself."

In other words, an eighth-tier advanceee can bring one first-tier companion into the group.

Normally, no one would think of this, and no one would ever try to do it.

Even if there's only a one in ten thousand chance that an eighth-tier cultivator enters the trial with a first-tier follower, they'll probably choose to remain silent after successfully advancing.

Yuri chose to reveal such important secret information because Rosalia was willing to tell him her secret technique (concealing the truth).

"Is this...important intelligence?" Rosalia rolled her eyes.

"Of course, you should keep your gratitude in your heart, Your Highness."

The boy proudly raised his chin, "Now you owe me a huge favor."

"I'm currently at the first rank, and I estimate I'll be promoted soon. Then I won't be able to accompany you into the singularity."

Do you understand? This is your only chance in this lifetime, Your Highness.

After the boy said this, the Grand Duchess shook her head helplessly.

"I don't think bringing one more Tier 1 character when challenging the Nine Star Singularity will change anything..."

Even if that person is the seemingly omniscient Yuri, even if they can receive a layer of goddess's blessing, and... are you really going to risk your life for my advancement?

Rosalia couldn't understand why Yuri was so obsessed with his promotion.

Indeed, advancing to the ninth rank would be of more help to him, and the rewards for the advancement trial were very tempting. But if he died, all his efforts would be in vain!

If she fails again this time, she will no longer be able to rewind time through soul resonance.

Rosalia said quietly, "You'll die too, won't you? You're still so young, so full of potential..."

"So... Your Highness was worried about me all along?" Yuri chuckled mischievously.

The Grand Duchess glared at the black-haired boy, then turned her face away like a little girl throwing a tantrum, and said nothing more.

If I fail to get promoted, you'll be the only one who dies...

Although Yuri told Rosalia about one part of the Nine Star Singularity, he concealed another part.

As a follower, he wouldn't die in the real world, since he wasn't the one undergoing the trial of fate.

However, in order to maintain morale, Yuri did not reveal the truth to the "Empress".

"Even ordinary singularities carry the risk of death. Do you expect me to hide in Cecilia's arms for the rest of my life?"

The young man raised an eyebrow: "Your Highness, I am ready."

Rosalia looked over at his confident tone.

"I am willing to give my life for you, and what about you?"

Yuri spoke up, "Are you willing to give me your one and only life?"

"..."

Rosalia frowned, biting her cherry lips and gripping the bed sheet tightly.

After a long period of contemplation, she showed a relieved expression.

If the last invitation to the alliance was something the "Empress" agreed to in a daze...

So this time, she made a decision based on her true feelings in an extremely calm state.

“If you were the knight, I’d be happy to. And…”

Rosalia turned her beautiful profile away shyly, while releasing her right hand that was gripping the sheet.

"I really can't wait for little Yuri ten years from now!"

"My pleasure, Your Highness."

The prophesied son took the "Empress's" right hand, which she had extended to him, and gently kissed the cool, smooth back of her fingers.

……

……

……

after one day.

Deep within the luxurious and magnificent Augusta Palace.

Angelica Augusta, the "Moon Princess," stared intently at the envelope and pink potion bottle on her dressing table, her expression grave.

The sender was Rosalia, the aunt whom the First Princess of the Empire respected and admired most.

In the letter, Grand Duchess Valentine casually explained that she had temporarily changed the promotion trial, originally scheduled for a year later, to this weekend.

She hopes that Angelica will be an invited guest and witness her entire ninth-order advancement trial.

This is not only an invitation, but also a will.

If Rosalia dies during the trial of ascension, her daughter Cecilia will inherit the title of Grand Duke of Valentine, her lands, and all her property.

As for the workshops and alchemical research that Rosalia had invested in, they were inherited by her niece Angelica.

In her letter, Rosalia also demanded that Angelica keep the trial a secret from her brother and daughter, and not reveal it to them.

After reading it three times, Angelica was certain that the letter was written by the Grand Duchess herself.

Promotion ceremonies are often trials that confront fate and risk one's life, so people sometimes invite close relatives and friends to witness them, thus recording their final moments.

However, compared to the ecstatic joy of being invited by her beloved aunt to watch the trial, the girl felt more confused and uneasy.

"Aunt Rosalia...why..."

Why abandon the trial ceremony that had been prepared for many years and hastily reschedule it for this weekend?

The First Princess vaguely sensed something from the text.

The person she admired, the cold yet gentle, beautiful yet proud Grand Duchess Valentine, had quietly changed without her knowledge.

The girl bit her lip: no matter what, she would use her eyes to witness Aunt Rosalia's promotion.

……

……

……

at the same time.

More than 20,000 meters below the ground, in the dark and gloomy depths.

In a desolate landscape resembling a shifting starry sky, a dilapidated ancient temple lies dormant.

Here, the density of the flow exceeds the limits that the human body can withstand; any living thing would be instantly crushed into dust by the immense pressure.

However, in this abyss of stars, a million times more treacherous than volcanoes, the deep sea, or outer space, a woman stands as if nothing is amiss.

With long silver hair and deep red eyes, her face could no longer be described as beautiful or dignified, but rather possessed a kind of divinity that could make the world tremble.

The woman was over 175 centimeters tall and wore a dignified black military uniform, with a short, tight-fitting skirt connected to black stockings and high-heeled boots.

The dignified and heroic spirit of a woman in military uniform and the sexy charm of a mature woman are perfectly blended in this woman.

She gazed at the unchanging scenery around her, her face showing distress as if she were pondering a mathematical problem.

"What should I choose for my fifteenth birthday present...?"

Just then, a white light condensed on the table beside her.

As the invitation and the elixir appeared, a voice came from the distant sky.

"Your Majesty, there is a message from you."

032 Unbridled Power

On Friday morning, Yuri got up very early.

Today is not the day of the trial he and Rosalia agreed upon; tomorrow is.

Yesterday, the two held a full-day operational meeting, discussing the various unexpected situations they might face in the singularity and how to deal with them.

For example, most importantly, what if the two are separated after entering the singularity?

They talked until late at night before Rosalia left Yuri's house.

Patty, the maid who came to greet her master, had a very subtle expression on her face.

Today is free time before starting the dungeon.

Rosalia planned to spend the day with her daughter and invited Yuri over, but he declined, saying he needed to stay home to do the final copy preparations.

Even though there was still one day left, Yuri was as excited as a primary school student before a spring outing.

Thinking about it carefully, "helping Aunt Rosa get promoted in order to curry favor with her!" might just be an excuse.

Even without this connection, Yuri would have been eager to make her singularity debut long ago.
