Why am I suddenly so conflicted?

"What's wrong? Can't say it? Let me help you say it, my good disciple."

Lyon smiled:

"Actually, you may have lived for over a hundred years, successfully ascended to the level of a legend, and even become adept at using intelligence to strategize the world situation, but in reality, because you isolated yourself from the world at an early age, you are actually a blank slate in many aspects. So, although you seem mature, there are still many immature aspects in your personality and style."

"childish?"

Bai Shaqilai was surprised by Lyon's evaluation of her, and suddenly felt a pang of sadness:

"So your previous admiration was fake?"

"No, it is precisely because you are naive that you have become so unique, and that is why I admire you for that."

Leon patted Baisa Qilai on the shoulder and said:

“It’s rare for someone to shoulder such a big responsibility alone, especially when there’s a lack of organization. For example, if you still had your identity as the Catwoman Princess, you would have a group of people working for you, gathering intelligence, solving problems, and giving you advice, right?”

"Yes, but what does it matter?"

Bai Shaqilai was still puzzled:

"I have already advanced to the legendary level, and my strength is even greater than my father's back then. How can it be considered childish for me to shoulder such a task on my own?"

"So that's what makes you so naive, yet so admirable."

To put it nicely, it's called being aloof and exceptional; to put it bluntly, it's called being inflexible.

Lyon said:

"You want to establish a nation, but no one will help you. How will you govern the country? How will you deal with criminals? How will you treat those who have made contributions? How will you establish basic connections with other countries? You think you can solve everything yourself, but in reality, without me, can you escape this mind control and demonic influence? Can you find a suitable place to establish a nation? You have to do so many things all by yourself, but you won't achieve much, you'll have a lot of trouble, and you won't have time to improve your strength. How will you continue to advance in your career?"

Bai Shaqilai was stunned.

"So you think you can just give a so-called thank-you gift and run away? Aren't you overestimating yourself? Why do you think I can find real miracles among countless possibilities? Without experiencing the trials of human nature and truly understanding the changes in actions caused by various factors such as interests, emotions, and morality, how can you truly comprehend the mysteries of astrologers and chess players?"

Bai Shaqilai began to reflect.

Lyon's voice turned stern:

"Bai Shaqilai, put away your arrogance. Even gods need to establish sects and spread their doctrines. Do you think you are stronger than a god now? Even if you think you will be greater than a god in the future, do you think the displaced people of the Cat People Kingdom, the kidnapped Cat People slaves, can live to see such a distant future?"

"I……"

"I'm asking you, is it possible?"

No...no.

"So what should you do now?"

"I understand, teacher."

This time, Bai Shaqilai uttered the word willingly.

Did I bewitch you?

Lyon and Baisaqilai looked at each other.

"No."

"From now on, no matter the reason, you cannot leave me without permission, not even if you give me your virginity one day. I don't need this kind of impure sex. Let me reiterate, if one day you want to have sex with me, I want you to be willing, full of joy and anticipation, not so-called resoluteness and sacrifice, understand?"

Lyon is giving a heads-up.

I'm afraid this guy might impulsively give in to her first time and then run away.

He wanted a perfect ending, and all the wings had to be included.

A strange feeling arose in Bai Shaqilai's heart.

Is it absolutely forbidden to leave without permission?

Why can he say that as if it were perfectly reasonable?

I only kidnapped him initially because I valued his intelligence.

Is this guy using sweet talk to deceive so many women?

But why do I feel a bittersweet happiness?

Is it because it touched a chord with me?

[Villain Bai Shaqi Lai's favorability +4%, current favorability 84%]

She felt she had truly fallen for him.

She had warned herself countless times that for the sake of the greater cause, she could not indulge in such things, and she could not become infatuated with this man.

However, he seemed to have convinced himself.

Should I have accepted him completely instead of choosing to leave the divine ruins and disappear from my sight forever?

After thinking for a long time, she decided to say something more, ask something more, and figure out what choice she should make.

At that moment, Lyon suddenly shushed him.

"Something's up, keep quiet."

Bai Shaqilai immediately switched to alert mode, her long, thin cat tail taut.

Then she saw the lake in front of her, bubbling and churning as if it were boiling.

Then, an infinite divine light suddenly shone on the lake. The light was so dazzling that the entire Dream Forest seemed as if an oil painting had been suddenly wiped clean of all its colors, leaving only extreme white and blinding light.

Both of them were forced to close their eyes, and although they tried to back away, they were suddenly immobilized.

It's Kamui!

Accompanied by the dazzling light of the divine, an almost tangible divine power suppressed everything!

After a moment, the divine light gradually subsided, and the stinging in their eyes subsided, allowing them to slowly open their eyes.

A breathtaking scene unfolded before my eyes.

On the lake, a graceful, white body, seemingly reflecting a dazzling light, slowly rose from the boiling surface.

He was wearing a full silver armor covered in countless mysterious characters, the metal surface of which gleamed with a cold, dazzling light.

Three pairs of pure white wings extended from behind her, without flapping, yet her body floated naturally, her long legs crossed, creating a beautiful posture.

With long, flowing, algae-green hair, pupils like emerald stars, thin, straight eyebrows, a high nose bridge, and a faint green marking under her eyes, her face resembled that of a noble saint with perfect symmetry.

His expression was indifferent, his gaze like that of a god looking down upon the world.

Lyon's pupils contracted slightly. This was a demigod-level divine species, an apostle of heaven?

With emerald green hair, they are forest apostles.

This divine species, in ancient mythology, can be considered one of the bloodlines of the elves. Logically, it should have been extinct for hundreds of thousands of years. How come it still exists here?

Does this divine relic hide such a powerful divine species?

In the original storyline, how did the Kingdom of Horsha conquer this place?

At that time, there was no information about divine species in the storyline, right?

Moreover, the path I chose was found by combining the Miracle Catcher skill with my newly acquired intermediate divination technique, so it should be safe, right?

How could this be?

Could it be that some uncontrollable variables occurred during this process?

Or is it that this forest apostle won't threaten their lives?

Lyon's mind raced as he considered how to respond.

At this moment, the Forest Apostle spoke indifferently, his voice distant and resonant, like the final chime echoing from the heavens:

"Humans?"

This divine species actually possesses intelligence?

It's important to know that in ancient times, although they were called the Apostles of Heaven, this was mainly because their appearance and abilities were so similar to those of the gods, which is why they received this title.

But in essence, they are similar to monsters, both being species that are born with immense power but lack intelligence.

The difference is that monsters are formed by demons corrupting dungeons, while divine species are naturally generated in the world.

Leon pressed down on Bai Shaqilai, gesturing for him to speak.

"Yes, Your Majesty is the guardian of this divine ruin? My friend and I inadvertently entered; if we have unintentionally caused any disturbance..."

"It did bother me."

The Forest Apostle said calmly:

"As punishment, one of you may die or the other may live. Now, make your choice. Who do you want to die and who do you want to live?"

Chapter 383 Bai Shaqilai: Although he's a womanizer, he's truly loyal and affectionate.

One can die, and one can live?

A difficult choice?

Bai Shaqilai frowned.

Although she didn't recognize the Forest Apostle, she knew that he could decide her and Leon's life or death in an instant.

"Answer me, who wants to die, and who wants to live?"

The Forest Apostle spoke again, his voice distant and ethereal.

"Your Majesty, we all want to live."

Lyon said calmly.

"You have only one choice, or you will both die."

As soon as the words were spoken, the divine power continued to descend, and the pressure on the two of them became increasingly heavy.

The ground suddenly sank, sinking seven or eight meters deep, forming a crater tens of meters wide with the two people at its center. The giant tree on the other side fell down with a loud crash, creating a deep sound that reverberated for thousands of meters.

When this guy unleashed his divine power, he didn't make any movement; he merely raised his eyes, and an immense force pressed down upon him.

Its power was simply unbelievable, far exceeding the psychological pressure on Herwiz.

A demigod-level divine species that also possesses intelligence—its strength is indeed extraordinary.

only……

Lyon sensed something was off. Given the other party's strength, why was he being so 'well-behaved'?

If she wanted to kill someone, why did she have to use divine power to suppress him and then ask him and Bai Sha about their choices?

Why should they have to make a choice?

Is she the kind of person who enjoys watching plays?

Not like.

Could there be another reason?

A thought struck him, and he immediately activated Miracle Catcher and Miracle Divination.

Buzz!

Suddenly, a miraculous divination scene unfolds before your eyes, with a sky full of shooting stars crashing down upon you.

Countless meteors streaked by, but none of them stood out and met the capture criteria.

The absence of a prominent shooting star suggests that the divination likely failed, and no miracle was found.

If you look for other small meteors, you might get other information, but the divination results will definitely be far from miracles and likely to bring danger.

Of course, it's possible that he didn't fail, but because his divination skills were not high and his information was limited, his miracle capture efficiency was too slow. He needed to consume a lot of life-gazing power to wait for the result, waiting for the most conspicuous meteor to shoot down.

Lyon frowned slightly. In the end, he was facing a much stronger opponent, and his divination skills were holding him back.

After completing Bai Shaqilai's two tasks, in addition to a significant increase in his ability to discern fate and his magical power, he also mastered the beginner and intermediate levels of divination techniques, achieving a 99% mastery of both. He directly gained a wealth of practical experience from Bai Shaqilai, and even gained some insight into her past life.

The main difference between beginner and intermediate divination techniques lies in the amount of information that can be obtained after divination.

Although they seem to be only one level apart, the difference is actually quite large.
