You are all my wings!

Astalia said:

"It just so happens that your physical body is not weak either, and you can withstand a lot of pressure. What I need you to do is to enter that End Land, find that divine treasure according to the location given by Leon, and then, through the connection of that soul contract, I will pull you back."

Upon hearing this, both Leon and Camille couldn't help but frown.

Lyon said, "My Lord, this is too dangerous! Is there any other way?"

Camille looked at Leon. He actually cared about her so much?

[Character Camille's affection level increased by 1%, current affection level 78%]

Astalia said, "Danger is inevitable, but since you've decided to come along, I'll naturally use you."

"The deity initially only intended to bring me here, could there be another way?"

"Leon asked."

“That’s right, I was originally planning to let you in.”

Astalia stated frankly:

“You have a curse mark of the God of Life on you, which gives you the power of immortality. Even the Land of the End cannot engulf you in a short time. Originally, it would have been very appropriate for you to go there.”

Lyon was speechless.

It turns out that I was originally destined to be both the diviner and the one who had to put in the effort.

However, is this curse mark of the God of Life the life curse mark left to him by the forest apostle?

How could Astalia have called her the goddess of life?

Could the forest apostle be an existence that has fallen from godhood?

No wonder she has the confidence to claim that even the gods cannot do anything to her.

No, the goddess of life, Chengerheli, is Astalia's mother goddess and is above Astalia in rank. It shouldn't be her.

Moreover, if she were truly a deity, how could she be so easily deceived by a hastily devised method for advancement?

She should have her own way of getting promoted.

Then it must just be a problem with the curse seal itself.

Unfortunately, he couldn't bring himself to tell Astalia about the forest apostles and ask if she could help break the curse.

He had already tested it; as long as he had the thought, the Life Seal would immediately cause him a soul-stirring pain, with extremely strong binding force.

Lyon thought to himself, then considered Astalia's intentions, and shook his head inwardly.

Astalia laughed and said, "Are you cursing me in your heart?"

Leon felt a chill run down his spine. Even with his deep purification mode activated, she could still see his emotional fluctuations?

Was it because my emotions had indeed fluctuated quite a bit just now?

"No, Your Majesty, I just feel this method is too risky, and I'm also curious why Your Majesty doesn't go down yourself? With your strength, you should be able to easily avoid these risks, right?"

"Leon asked."

Astalia shook her head and said, "This continental fragment is already quite broken, like a wrecked ship. I carry a lot of divine power and authority. Once I go there, I will instantly crush this last delicate balance, causing the continental fragment to be completely swallowed by the Land of End and disappear into the deeper layers. At that time, it will be even more impossible to obtain the Dragon Blood Treasure."

Lyon said knowingly:

"Even so, it's not safe for Camille and me to go there. The laws ahead are chaotic, and the destructive power of the fragments of authority is not low. Camille and I seem to be of decent rank on the continent, but we can't easily resist the laws and authority, even fragments and remnants of power. Putting aside whether we can return safely after finding something, just getting close to that broken continent will cause a lot of trouble, and it may not be smooth sailing."

Astalia laughed, a subtle smile appearing on her serene face:

"You want to make conditions? Tell me, what conditions do you want me to agree to before you'll help me with this?"

Lyon said, "If the divine being is willing to remove the sacred shackles from Rita's body, my last wish will be fulfilled, and I will naturally do this for you without hesitation."

The second half of that statement is, of course, a lie.

"There's no need to act so recklessly. I understand your thoughts perfectly well."

Astalia pursed her lips slightly, the corners of her mouth curving even higher:

"Don't worry, I brought you here, so I won't let you die. A special talent like you is one of the few in human history. It would be a real pity if you died."

Lyon's eyes flickered slightly: "Then my conditions..."

"No, let's try another one. Unless you can find a way to help Britta truly cultivate a flawless holy soul, this matter is out of the question."

Astalia smiled gently, but remained unmoved.

Camille, standing nearby, said:

“I’ll go. After thinking it over carefully, if the gods cannot fully recover, the demons will surely be able to easily open the passage between the two worlds. At that time, the destruction of the continent will probably be only a matter of time. In that case, I will take the risk.”

Leon grabbed Camille's shoulder and shook his head, saying:

"Miss Camille, you'd better not try to be brave. In your past life, you were an epic-level being with a significant soul weight and characteristic weight. Even if you have a strong physical body, it's still possible that you could disrupt that delicate balance and even completely fall into it."

Camille didn't shake off Leon's hand, but stared at him, meeting his gaze.

"If you don't go, I won't go either. Do you think we've come all this way for nothing? The demons won't wait for us that long."

Leon shrugged: "Who said I'm not going? I'm negotiating with God right now, don't interrupt or try to show off."

"Since the divine being is confident that I can go down, what kind of show of bravado is this?"

Camille retorted.

Leon's gaze at Camille suddenly became incredibly serious:

"I've already done the divination. Your luck won't be of any use in this Land of the End. Don't be as reckless here as you are on the mainland. If you make a mistake here, without the protection of luck, you could really die."

Camille sensed the seriousness in Leon's eyes and her expression froze.

This guy, at this critical moment, is actually so concerned about my life or death?

Am I usually reckless?

"My Shadowless ability allows me to leap through the void, traverse between reality and illusion, and linger at the boundary between light and shadow. It makes me far more adept at dealing with this conceptual power of the end than you are. And I am only at the fifth rank, so I am not afraid of crushing that continental fragment."

Lyon added one more sentence.

In reality, his confidence stemmed more from the End Curse Seal. With this, he could teleport at his own pace, making him safer than Camille.

Camille didn't refute Leon anymore, but simply recalled the moments when she first met him.

At that moment, she actually felt that Leon's womanizing was somewhat insignificant.

That unique personal charm cannot be suppressed by mere infidelity.

[Character Camille's affection level increased by 6%, current affection level 84%]

[Goddess Astalia's favorability +1%, current favorability 2%]

Astalia's gaze toward Leon held a hint of surprise.

Having convinced Camille, Leon turned his gaze back to Astalia and smiled slightly.

“My Lord, before we discuss my conditions, I think we should take some time to discuss some other minor matters.”

"what's up?"

Astalia looked back at Lyon with great interest, her face as beautiful as a painting.

Compared to her previous perfunctory smile, her current smile clearly possesses a more vibrant and lively beauty.

Chapter 418 Camille: My Lord, you are condoning Leon's womanizing!

"I need to confirm the duration of the deity's pulling action."

Lyon said.

"Buying time?"

Astalia seemed lost in thought.

“That’s right. I just did a divination to assess the risks and potential problems that might arise during the operation. I found that the time difference will determine whether this operation can be successfully completed.”

Leon looked directly into Astalia's beautiful face and said:

"Has Your Excellency calculated the specific flow of time on the Fragmented Continent?"

"One second there is equivalent to one hour here, which is about a 1 to 3600 times difference."

"In other words, even if I find the treasure or a fragment of its laws immediately there, the deity will still have to wait a long time, right?"

Are you worried that if I poop too late or too early, there might be errors?

Astalia raised an eyebrow.

"No, I'm not worried about the god's strength; I'm worried about the time characteristics of that place."

Leon shook his head, combining part of the results of his divination with his understanding of physics from his previous life, and said:

"With the continental fragments as the center, the flow of time slows down towards the center and speeds up towards the outer edges, exhibiting characteristics of a time vortex. According to my rudimentary understanding of time, the greater the mass, the greater its influence on time. When I went in, I was just a minor fifth-tier being, with only a few characteristics being relatively strong. But when I left, once I found the treasure, it was like taking on a heavy burden."

Camille looked at Leon again. Sure enough, he knew this operation was dangerous for him, but he was still so determined to go through with it.

I never imagined that I had so many misunderstandings about him before.

[Character Camille's affection level increased by 2%, current affection level 86%]

"Does greater mass have a greater impact on time?"

A sudden, brilliant light shone in Astalia's eyes, as if she were touched by the summary that originated from a top scholar in Lyon's previous life.

She stared intently at Lyon, a barely perceptible hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

"Did you figure this out yourself?"

Expressing the mysteries of time in a simple and unadorned sentence is beyond the reach of simple cognition.

For the vast majority of people, time is an absolute reality, independent of any change in its existence.

Even the property that can interfere with time is based on profound and mysterious principles. Many times, the strong can only grasp it through their professional skills, but do not understand its core principles.

They know what happened, but not why it happened.

Time magic is known as the crown of magic, and that's no exaggeration.

Lyon then said, "I am merely standing on the shoulders of giants of knowledge."

He neither admitted nor denied it.

Making the other party misunderstand through implied meaning is also a form of fraud.

He tried to extract a portion of the 'truth within the falsehood' and discovered that this one lie had caused him to explode his supply by more than 50 units, bringing his 'truth within the falsehood' reserves to more than 180 units.

Sure enough, I still have to take advantage of the goddess.

"It seems I need to change my opinion of you."

Astalia composed herself and regained her composure.

[Goddess Astalia's favorability +1%, current favorability 3%]

"As for the question you raised, what you're worried about is that when I pull it out, the weight of the treasure will cause a change in the flow rate of the time vortex, causing my pulling to fail, right?"

Astalia asked this question.

When the favorability rating reached 3%, Leon felt a strange sense of comfort on his body, whether it was his imagination or not.

This feeling seems to originate from the whole world, as if the whole world is subtly making it more comfortable for me.

He even felt that if he continued to study magic in this state, even without switching to a special mode, he would still generate various inspirations when he encountered a bottleneck.

At this moment, Lyon truly understood the power of the saying, "A goddess's favorability has immense influence."

I noticed this subtle change in just 3%.

If the favorability reaches the 20% indicated on the panel, wouldn't the luck become even stronger?

However, Leon felt that this might also be because Astalia was right beside him, within the domain of her protective End of the Land, which was why the changes were noticeable.

This is, after all, the land of the end, the territory of the Goddess of the End.

"Yes, Your Majesty, this is a very serious matter. I need to confirm whether Your Majesty has the means to handle such accidents. It is only meaningful for me to go down here if I can confirm this, isn't it?"

Lyon stared at Astalia's face.
