You are all my wings!

The basic divination technique covers levels one through three, while the intermediate divination technique covers level four, representing a qualitative leap in strength.

Therefore, his current version of Miracle Divination is mainly a basic Miracle Divination formed by combining the large amount of Miracle Capture knowledge gained after advancing to the next level with basic divination.

It is estimated that before the Miracle Astrologer class is upgraded, it will not be possible to convert Intermediate Divination into Intermediate Miracle Divination.

Lyon knew that the difference between the beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels of miracles lay in the efficiency of capturing miracles; the higher the level, the easier it was to capture potential miracles.

But regardless of the level, as long as the divination is successful, the accuracy rate will be infinitely close to 100%. This is the professional characteristic defined by Lyon and successfully recognized by the world.

Conversely, the lower the level of the divination technique, the lower the capture efficiency, and the less likely it is to capture a miracle, resulting in a wasted divination session.

Of course, this also has its advantages, namely that it will not produce false information, and as long as there is a result, it will definitely be in line with the divination goal.

'Intelligence! I need intelligence! It seems I must try to get some information out of this forest apostle.'

'Her insistence on following the rules so strictly, forcing me and Bai Shaqilai to choose between life and death, might not be without ulterior motives!'

"Let's take a gamble. In the original storyline, the royal family successfully conquered this divine ruin. However, the current variables are mostly outside the ruin itself. This means that the forest apostles must be subject to certain restrictions and cannot freely kill outsiders like us!"

A thought flashed through his mind, and Leon asked:

"Why would Your Majesty want to turn my friend and me against each other because of this choice? With your power, wouldn't you be able to decide the life or death of one person at will? Does Your Majesty mean that, apart from mobilizing divine power, the only way to trigger other abilities is for us to actively choose life or death?"

Upon hearing this, the Forest Apostle slightly raised his eyelids, and the divine power pressing down on Leon's shoulder suddenly exploded downwards.

In an instant, his sturdy body and bones crackled and popped like popping beans, and his soul seemed to be knocked down by something, leaving him dizzy.

At a critical moment, he activated the deep sharing mode.

This mode is highly resistant to mental suppression and can even absorb some mental information to strengthen itself.

Of course, due to the excessive load, the reinforcement is merely a drop in the ocean.

Fortunately, he had abundant mental energy, and compared to the suppression of his body, he could still withstand more of the suppression of his soul.

Thanks to this, his thinking is quick and sharp.

"Your Majesty, it seems I was right. That is to say, if my friend and I were to be intimidated by your fierce power and make a choice, one of us would surely die, or even both of us would die, wouldn't we?"

Hearing this, Bai Shaqilai felt a sense of relief for some reason.

She was afraid of Lyon making a choice, and she was also afraid of making a choice herself. At this moment, choosing who lives and who dies would be an immense psychological challenge.

If this were before entering the ruins of the gods, and she were faced with this life-or-death choice, she might have hesitated slightly before choosing to live and die with Lyon. But now, she wouldn't think that way.

She even had a subtle thought that perhaps dying in exchange for Leon's life would be a very good choice.

It's certainly tiring for one person to shoulder so much. It's better to let this man witness the future ascension to godhood for her and help her rebuild the Cat People Kingdom. She believes that with Leon's character, he will definitely do it after she chooses to die in his place.

After all, although he's a womanizer, he's really loyal and affectionate.

On the lake, the Forest Apostle listened quietly to Leon's story. Suddenly, he tilted his head, and his long, algae-green hair touched the mirror-like water, creating circles of ripples.

"You are very intelligent, human."

Her voice was still melodious and ethereal, but it clearly had a more vibrant and human touch.

If she was previously an indifferent, cold, and noble empty shell, with a downcast and ruthless gaze.

Now, there was a subtle, lively feeling in his eyes, as if he had discovered something interesting. Of course, this was Lyon's interpretation, and the truth still needed to be explored.

"Unfortunately, even if you see through my limitations, you still can't survive the suppression of divine power. The only difference is whether you die sooner or later."

"Your Majesty, why must we die? You've been guarding the ruins of the gods for so many years, don't you find it boring? Wouldn't it be better to have the two of us keep you company, chat with you, learn about the outside world, and know about the changes in the world?"

Although he was still being suppressed by the ever-increasing divine power, his body was becoming increasingly uncomfortable, and his life force was plummeting, he still spoke with an elegant and composed demeanor.

Since they are the source of the elven bloodline, they must have extremely high standards for 'beauty'. If anything is not beautiful and they find it an eyesore, they will probably not even have a chance to talk to them and will be wiped out immediately.

"To relieve boredom?"

On the apostle of the forest's indifferent face, a barely perceptible smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, a smile of natural beauty.

"You are so short-lived, how could you know that I have already lived through countless years and do not care about the so-called boredom? In my eyes, you are as small as insects... However, it would be good if you could learn some information about the outside world. Here's what I'll do: if you can withstand my divine power for an hour, I will give you a chance to live."

As soon as she finished speaking, her slender and graceful body slowly sank back into the lake.

Although she was not there, the divine power pressing down on the two of them was still immense, like a vast ocean being poured into a single cone.

Lyon has a deep sharing model, and the pressure on the soul can barely be withstood.

On the contrary, the popping sounds from the bones in the body are becoming more and more frequent, and fractures are becoming an unavoidable problem.

While the high-resistance muscles enhanced by the Monster Muscle Resonance Technique can protect the bones, there is clearly a limit to their effectiveness.

If I can escape successfully, I really need to find a magic spell that focuses on strengthening bones next time.

He had about one or two hours left in his Deep Miracle Mode, so he decided to activate Deep Purification Mode again to enter a high state and unleash the full power of the Tier 3 Monster Muscle Resonance Technique that he had been practicing halfway through, strengthening his body to resist the heavy pressure.

In the Triple Depth Mode, his condition leaped again, and he quickly grasped the key points of the third-order frequency technique, constantly trying and stimulating the remaining magic power in his body to strengthen it.

Under the suppression of this divine power, he absorbed a large amount of divine power with each breath, transforming it into sacred energy.

Originally, his body was unable to retain divine power, but with the previous transformation of his physical body, he was able to barely absorb a trace of divine power.

With these two factors combined, he barely managed to persevere, and his body continued to strengthen, progressing at an astonishing pace—seventeen or eighteen times faster than during his usual training.

It seems that the immense pressure from the divine power pushed his physical potential to its limit.

At the same time, the divine power under immense pressure also allows one to retain more divine power within the body through sacred energy, thus strengthening oneself.

Beside her, Bai Shaqilai was, after all, a legendary figure.

Her situation was the complete opposite of Leon's. She could still bear the physical pressure, but she couldn't resist the immense pressure on her soul. Under this terrifying divine power, she was also unable to invoke the legendary poems.

Therefore, she would sometimes feel dizzy and faint, and sometimes she would suddenly wake up and immediately regain her balance.

She was also using her own methods to alleviate the immense pressure from the divine power and enhance the strength of her soul.

While it doesn't allow for cheating like Leon, it's still able to maintain its current status.

Time flows slowly by.

……

In another abyss of the divine ruins.

The slender figure, shrouded in a long black dress, suddenly broke through the membrane at the mouth of the abyss, flew out at high speed, and then hovered, looking back at the surrounding landscape of the abyss.

Herwiz glanced at it and then frowned slightly.

The area surrounding the abyss is a desolate, arid lava landscape, covered with reddish-brown boulders that still retain warmth.

Traces of a battle between powerful warriors remain on the ground, with long marks and tear marks scattered everywhere.

As she finally flew away from the dark abyss, she felt an unprecedented resistance, knowing it was a spatial barrier with extremely strong blocking force.

It wasn't until she unleashed the Mind Hammer spell, striking more than thirty times in succession, that she managed to create a small opening and fly out.

The strength of this divine relic was somewhat beyond her expectations.

Logically speaking, after hundreds of thousands of years, even the most miraculous relics of gods should have become somewhat ordinary and quiet.

Unexpectedly, the opponents she faced along the way were all at the peak of the legendary level, making them quite difficult to deal with.

If it were an epic being skilled in other types of magic, they might not have been able to successfully fly out of the abyss.

"Fine, the important thing is to find Leon as soon as possible and return to the Sacred Mural to continue improving."

With a thought, she accelerated and flew away from the abyss.

Lyon's location markers are getting closer and closer to her.

……

The lake boiled again, and the forest apostle, with its legs crossed, slowly rose up.

Her usually indifferent face showed a hint of surprise.

“You have passed my test.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Leon felt the heavy pressure on his body suddenly release, and countless divine powers dissipated, leaving only a few divine powers to stabilize his body.

Beside her, Bai Shaqilai also looked quite tired, but her eyes shone with a light, as if she had gained a lot under the pressure.

Lyon's heart skipped a beat as he noticed Bai Shaqilai's interface.

【主要属性：精神力15/窥命力101/生命力190/魔力量312/体力192/力量231/敏捷263】

Huh, she's awakened her spiritual power?

Both the ability to discern fate and magical power have increased by 2 points.

Although all legendary beings have a certain probability of awakening spiritual power, most legendary beings find it difficult to do so.

Only epic-level or higher items have a higher chance of awakening.

It seems that the immense pressure from the divine power just now has brought out her potential.

After all, he is a dual-rare professional, so this performance is reasonable.

As for Leon himself, his progress in just one hour was also quite rapid. He had already mastered the third-tier monster muscle resonance technique and strengthened himself under that high pressure. He had consumed a lot of the nutrients and energy he had accumulated before, and his attributes had also seen a considerable increase.

【主要属性：窥命力30/神圣能量容纳量7/精神力67/生命力119/魔力量278/体力153/力量135/敏捷159】

Mental Strength +2, Stamina +2, Strength +4, Agility +1

Could it be that these forest apostles, seemingly harboring murderous intent, are actually trying to elevate them?

Otherwise, how could that divine pressure have remained at their respective limits and not crushed them further?

Given the power of this divine species, even with limitations, it should be able to accomplish this by mobilizing the omnipresent divine power within the ruins, right?

Lyon, puzzled, asked:

"Your Majesty, are you testing us? Is there something you need from us?"

The Forest Apostle maintained her indifferent expression, saying noncommittally:

"Come with me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Leon realized that the divine power suppressing him had completely disappeared.

At the same time, the forest apostle waved his hand, opening a waterless vertical passage in the lake, and slowly sank in.

Bai Shaqilai looked over:

"How to say?"

"We can't escape anyway, let's follow them and see what happens. Let's not get separated."

He naturally grabbed Bai Shaqilai's hand and leaped into the passage.

Bai Shaqilai was somewhat surprised when Leon grabbed her hand, and she wanted to shake him off.

But the slight coolness of the touch, the relief of surviving a disaster, and the gratitude for Leon's cleverness in uncovering the forest apostle's trap—a variety of strange and complex feelings surged into her heart at the same time, and she couldn't bear to break free.

[Villain Bai Shaqi Lai's favorability +2%, current favorability 88%]

When the message came through the panel, Lyon was taken aback.

Speaking of which, Bai Shaqilai's favorability rating has increased dramatically. After being brought here by her teleportation magic circle, it's only been half a day, yet it has increased so much in one go.

Has she broken her own record for completing a strategy guide?

The last time favorability ratings surged so dramatically in such a short time was with Ophimosa, right?

What are you thinking about?

Bai Shaqilai leaned close to Leon's ear and whispered a question, her pink hair brushing against his ear, tickling him.

This guy just naturally made such an intimate gesture.

In the past, her serious personality would have made her resolutely reject such a thing.

However, does this guy not know that his snow-white soft flesh is pressing against him?

"Oh, it's nothing. I was just wondering how deep this lake is. I keep falling, and I still haven't reached the end."

Lyon responded in a low voice, without mentioning that he had almost been flirted with by Bai Shaqilai, and glanced around.

Through the water curtain of the waterless passage, you can see the ferocious outlines of aquatic creatures swimming on both sides, as well as the emerald green aquatic plants swaying with the current, with small fish hiding on the plants.

Lyon observed for a moment and felt strange; the passage continued downwards, yet he could not see the end.

As we descended to a depth of a thousand meters, the water curtain outside the passage suddenly disappeared, and the outer layer of the passage instantly transformed into a wall of earth and stone.
