You are all my wings!

"If you are willing to wait, I will release you from your bonds after the cataclysm of the world's destruction, and grant you happiness and fulfillment. In return, you may ask for other rewards now. I don't have much time; I need to enter the Holy Realm as soon as possible and think it over quickly."

If Leon had been less resolute or less informed, he might have accepted Astalia's words, which possessed an intangible charm.

In fact, as Britta listened silently to Astalia's explanation, she had already lost interest in the so-called destiny she was burdened with.

Even the strongest will cannot waver when it is heard that one's love affair is linked to the destruction of the world.

Moreover, they were facing Astalia, a seemingly gentle but actually highly persuasive deity.

"My lord, I don't need the reward, but I hope to take up a little more of your time."

Lyon said in a deep voice:

"Based on what you just said, can I understand that all you need is for Britta to maintain a pure and innocent mind and body? As for the other constraints, they are essentially just auxiliary means to keep Britta pure, right?"

"That's how it is."

Astalia's eyes flickered, and she said, "Are you asking this because you have other ways to solve this problem?"

“My Lord, there is an old saying in my hometown: ‘Jade that is not carved cannot become a vessel.’ For example, in the case you mentioned earlier, if there are impurities when glass is forged, it will shatter with a light tap. If a demon can bypass that constraint, wouldn’t Britta be more likely to have problems if she is not tempered by desire?”

Lyon said:

"As the divine being has acknowledged, shackles are merely an auxiliary means. Since they are auxiliary means, they are not absolutely perfect, nor can they allow Britta to achieve a truly pure and flawless state of mind and body. Therefore, they are not truly invincible. If the intensity of that world calamity far exceeds expectations, wouldn't the divine being's plan be in vain?"

He directly questioned the efficacy of the sacred shackles.

Astalia frowned slightly.

This was the first time she had shown this expression.

She looked at Lyon, her eyes filled with a hint of scrutiny.

"Judging from your expression, you don't seem surprised by the cataclysmic destruction of this world. You seem to know something about it?"

“I am a miracle astrologer, a miracle astrologer who has been enlightened by the world and has a thorough understanding of the causal chain of the future through continuous divination. One of the reasons I decided to help Britta was because I foresaw the destruction of the future world.”

Lyon told his most widely accepted lie.

Although part of the lie has become true, the second half is still a lie.

If deceiving the gods is successful, a considerable amount of 'truth within falsehood' should be extracted.

"Miracle Astrologer? A brand new profession?"

"I am the very one who founded this profession."

"Excellent, I'm very happy that humanity has someone as talented as you."

Astalia seemed not to doubt Leon's statement, and a look of relief appeared on her small face.

However, after her initial relief, she softly asked in return:

"So, you mean that the Britta I've cultivated over thousands of years is not enough to cope with the great changes to come?"

Her voice was calm, but the awe-inspiring majesty of a deity unconsciously emanated from it, adding a sense of oppression to her words.

"Allow me to overstep my bounds, yes!"

Lyon nodded. "If your plan is really sound, Kekeqi wouldn't have been able to travel back in time."

Of course, Astalia might be able to turn the tide after the world is destroyed, but if the world is destroyed in the future, even a god would probably not be able to withstand the devastation caused by the destruction of the world. Therefore, Leon concluded that Astalia's plan was far from enough to save the world.

Before Astalia could respond, he said earnestly:

"Placing all the burdens on a few people is far too risky. Besides, has the God considered Rita's feelings? With such a heavy load on her shoulders, even with the greatest talent, she will be crushed by the complex and heavy responsibilities of the future. Britta is a living, breathing person. No matter how pure and flawless she may be, she is still a person! A person with emotions and desires, who needs unconditional trust when she is lonely, and who needs unconditional help when facing powerful enemies!"

Britta looked up at Lyon.

Lyon's words made it clear that no matter what happened to Britta in the future, he would be the one to help her and trust her unconditionally.

Bretta, swayed by Astalia, had a resolute glint in her beautiful, narrow eyes.

Yes, no matter how frustrated I am, Leon is always there for me.

Even if there are many women around him, it doesn't matter; what matters is that he's here.

[Character Britta's affection level +4, current affection level 99%]

Ophimosa, standing to the side, felt a pang of sadness.

Alas, my beloved man, he actually confessed his love in front of the gods.

Is this what jealousy feels like?

However, when she thought about how Britta's so-called destiny had been decided by the gods since birth, she couldn't muster much anger towards Britta.

She just found it absurd.

Although the goddess Astalia's attitude was already very kind, making people feel like they were basking in a spring breeze.

But deep down, Orpheus still felt that the gods might still be using mortals as tools.

This is actually quite normal; there are even many people in the royal family who treat their subordinates as tools.

But the difference is that once you become a tool of the gods, it's hard to escape.

The relationship between mortals is mostly one of mutual exploitation and using each other as tools. This is fundamentally different from the relationship between humans and gods who spend thousands of years orchestrating and controlling their birth and destiny.

'Perhaps that's why Leon couldn't help but want to help her, just like how he risked his life to save me several times back then. He's the kind of womanizer who's actually reliable.'

Unconsciously, Ophimasso mentally tried to find a reason for Lyon's actions.

'However, even so, I can't just stand by and watch Lyon continue like this. I still need to have a proper talk with him after the god leaves.'

That's what she was thinking.

On the other side, Astalia, after listening to Leon's speech, pursed her delicate lips and, surprisingly, didn't feel offended. Instead, she chuckled softly.

"Your insights are good, and I appreciate your expression."

She waved her hand gently, and a golden light screen suddenly appeared, enveloping the group and filling the entire cave with a sacred aura.

Suddenly, the others present felt as if they were immersed in an infinitely comfortable environment, their bodies and minds were cleansed, and all the fatigue in their spirits seemed to disappear in an instant.

"It's rare to encounter a human with such thoughts as you, so I'll stay a little longer, expend some energy, and chat with you a bit more."

Staying will consume more of our strength?

Lyon glanced around and seemed to understand. This sacred light barrier was meant to isolate her from the mortal world, keeping her divine body pure so she could stay a little longer.

Within this sacred light, he found himself becoming visibly calmer. If Astalia were to leave later, he would probably find the dark cave he had grown accustomed to disgusting.

He suddenly understood why the gods had such high standards for purity, why they were in such a hurry to leave the mortal realm and go to the divine realm, and why she valued Britta, who possessed a flawless holy body, so highly.

Just as a person feels uncomfortable in an environment with too low an oxygen concentration, it is estimated that it will be difficult for Astaria to recover to her peak condition while staying in this mortal world.

This also explains why the gods of ancient times are so hard to find; they have probably all gone to the sacred realm.

"After all that you've said, you just want to free Britta from her shackles. Do you have a way to guarantee that she'll become even better after that? Like, to achieve what you call true perfection? That's not just about physical purity; the soul also needs to reach that flawless state."

She maintained a gentle and serene demeanor as she asked the question.

This is indeed a crucial issue.

He had absolutely no way to solve the problem.

"There is a way."

Lyon nodded firmly and said:

"First, we need to pinpoint a timeframe. May I ask, Your Majesty, when will the cataclysmic destruction of the world you speak of occur? Is it in 25 years? Or in the more distant future?"

Astalia's eyes flickered slightly:

How can you be sure it's 25 years from now?

"To be precise, it will be 25 years and 3 months later."

Lyon smiled slightly:

"As I said before, Your Majesty, I am a miracle astrologer and I have enough knowledge of the causal chain of the future."

In fact, he calculated this time based on the time that Kekeqi traveled through, and it was very simple.

"You're really something, even able to pinpoint the time so precisely."

Astalia gave a thumbs up, and then said:

"Unfortunately, the great destruction that occurred 25 years and 3 months later was only the first impact. In the following three years, it happened once a year, and finally it was completely destroyed."

Lyon's smile remained unchanged as he said, "As expected of a god, I have made a fool of myself."

"No, as a mortal, I think you deserve great praise for what you have done. With you here, the chances of resisting the great calamity are indeed higher."

Astalia's gaze fell upon them:

"So, now that you've confirmed the timeline, can you tell me your plan? How can we make Britta better while removing the constraints?"

This deity was indeed difficult to deal with, always managing to grasp the key point.

Lyon still didn't answer the question directly, but said:

"Before that, I had another question. Surely the arrangements made by the gods over the past thousands of years have involved more than just Britta? As far as I know, there is a beautiful young woman who is 20 years old this year. Seven years ago, she received divine revelation from the gods, and then at the age of thirteen, she gave birth to a child with exceptional intelligence. This child has a photographic memory and an extremely strong learning ability. He can learn the secrets of any beginner or intermediate magic book after just one reading."

Upon hearing this, Astalia's eyes narrowed slightly, and the thorn pattern in her pupils emitted a faint light.

The squinting came and went quickly, and her complexion returned to normal immediately.

Lyon chuckled, “With the wisdom of a god, it’s unlikely that he would place all his bets on one person. So, in essence, Britta doesn’t necessarily have to be that key person, does she?”

"So, you plan to have that exceptionally intelligent person you mentioned take Britta's place? Is that your plan?"

Astalia's gentle expression faded considerably.

Both Ophimasso and Britta noticed this scene; it was the first time the gentle goddess Astalia had shown such a slightly indifferent expression.

Both of them were worried for Leon; offending this god would be no laughing matter.

Britta, in particular, although she had a lot to say to the goddess Astalia, she knew very little about the future calamity. The only information she had was what Leon had revealed before, so she didn't know what to say.

"Of course not. In fact, I have a good relationship with this incredibly wise friend and I don't want her to bear such a heavy burden alone."

Lyon said calmly:

"But according to my divination, both of the gods' plans will fail in the future. Even with their great fortune, they cannot suppress the changes brought about by the future calamities, and they will all perish."

At this point, Lyon looked at Britta and said apologetically:

"I'm sorry, Rita, I've been keeping this from you. According to my divination, you will face a major death in six years."

Britta was taken aback.

When she was suddenly told that she would die in six years, she felt little emotion.

She didn't question Leon's statement because Leon had already been right about too many things.

At that moment, she suddenly felt a sense of relief.

Well, being able to be relieved of this burden ahead of time is not a bad thing, even though it would be unfair to the gods.

The only pity is that six years is too short, and she is afraid that she will not be able to make the most of the time she spends with Leon.

"Thank you, Lyon, I understand."

She said softly.

Beside her, Astalia, unsurprised by Leon's blunt announcement of the plan's failure, calmly remarked:

"The reason for my failure was that I didn't resurrect, but now that you, the miracle astrologer, have joined us, I've been resurrected ahead of time. So the future may not be what you predicted."

Lyon's heart sank. He could only say that he was indeed a god, as he immediately grasped that he was the key variable.

Astalia's expression softened again:
