You are all my wings!

Her wings were large, and as she flew around Leon, they tickled his neck, even stirring up some strange feelings within him.

Is it because her divine power enhanced the alluring abilities of the Enchanting Fairy?

Fortunately, I have strong mental fortitude.

Lyon immediately returned to his serious thoughts, wondering why Astalia's "I knew it" seemed to indicate that she wasn't particularly afraid of this so-called Goddess of Origin.

Instead, it felt like a puzzle had been solved?

"My Lord, what have you come to understand?"

"Leon asked."

"It's nothing. Don't ask too many questions now. If you know too much, even I might not be able to protect you in the future."

Astalia's voice sounded strange.

"I understand. Now that we know these secrets, regarding your request to help Lady Castiglione become a god..."

"Do it! You absolutely must do it. Knowing all this, I actually hope you succeed even more."

Astalia said, "As I promised, once you do it, Britta can do whatever she wants with you, even if she hasn't mastered the Flawless Holy Soul."

Wow, this statement sounds like someone is selling their daughter.

Lyon said, "Now that we know the origin of the goddess Tayamishili, should we take her back? We've already wasted almost a minute here."

Upon hearing this, Taiyamishili shook her head violently:

“You can’t take me with you now. If you do, you’ll definitely be caught in the time vortex on the outer edge of the continental fragment. At that time, this young brother Lyon’s lifespan will be completely wiped out, which would be terrible. I don’t want my savior to meet with an accident.”

"You're not planning to leave?"

Astalia's voice sounded slightly surprised.

"I want to leave, but even if you are at the peak of the tenth rank, you probably can't pull me away in my current state! Although I am weak at the moment, my divine essence is already at the eleventh rank! As my junior god, you should understand the terror of the eleventh rank, right?"

Tayami Shili proudly puffed out her small chest.

Leon couldn't help but laugh.

Ah, if only all ancient gods were as naive as her.

Taiya Mishili glared at Leon, her eyes wide: "What are you laughing at?"

Lyon said, "It's nothing. I was just thinking that the goddess Tayamishili was inside the alchemy bottle just now. She should have been able to hear the conversation between the goddess and me, right? But the strange thing is, if you had heard it, you shouldn't have said that."

Astalia chuckled involuntarily.

Chapter 420 Astalia: Ha, no wonder you can charm my most promising child.

Taiyami Shili was stunned for a moment, then came to her senses:

"I remember Astalia said before that as long as it's below the level of this secret treasure in Brother Leon's possession, it can be pulled out?"

"Yes."

"Not bragging?"

"This is a matter of life and death; how can I speak carelessly?"

"I thought you were just saying it casually."

Taiya Mishili was stunned again: "So, you're currently at level twelve?"

"Ah."

Astalia's voice said.

Tayami Shili was embarrassed.

She scratched her head and said, "Hey, so you've completely surpassed me, my senior, by such a large margin! You're a saint with a lifespan of nine lifetimes! If you choose the right time to revive, you could live for five or six epochs!"

Astalia's voice comforted me, "I've only recently recovered as well. Although my divine essence is stable, my divine body is severely damaged. We're in the same boat."

Taiya Mishili's eyes lit up: "Oh? When did you recover? Was it also a thousand years ago? But judging from your current state of monitoring magic, your true form should have recovered to the peak of the tenth rank, right?"

"Not long, just a week."

"One...what?"

Tayamishi stared in shock at her pair of emerald-bead-like pupils:

"A week? Seven days? How could you recover so quickly?"

Astalia's voice said, "Naturally, it's thanks to the help of believers. Do you think your ancient gods all relied on their own methods before their natural demise to revive?"

"Otherwise what? Rely on others instead of yourself?"

Tayami Shili seems to have absolutely no idea how to manage her facial expressions; her cute little face is almost contorted.

"What kind of believer is so strong that he could give you such great power as soon as you were revived?"

She seemed unable to understand.

Astalia chuckled, "That depends on how you plan it out, doesn't it?"

Leon turned his head to observe the utterly shocked expression on Tayamisili's face, and thought to himself, were the conditions for becoming a god really that lenient before?

It seems that many stories in mythology contain a fair amount of embellishment.

However, the fact that Astalia was able to become the only person to achieve godhood in two million years despite the suppression of the Ascension Stage naturally shows that her talent and methods far surpassed those of her predecessors.

She not only suppressed Tayamishili in terms of skill level and various methods, but also began planning thousands of years in advance.

It's quite normal for them to quickly regain a lot of strength during the recovery.

According to Taiyamishili, when gods naturally fall and then revive, their strength usually starts at a low level, and it typically takes a thousand years to recover to the level of a god.

Furthermore, it can be inferred from Tayamishili's statement, "I have grasped a new authority," that starting from the divine rank, each rank wields a different authority.

That is, the tenth rank has one authority, the eleventh rank has two, and the twelfth rank has three.

As a powerful figure at the twelfth rank, Astalia possesses three authority. One of them is given to Britta, allowing her to use the power of the Holy See to collect matching treasures and a large number of magic crystals. With this authority as the core, it is estimated that only then can she quickly restore her divine essence.

The key to this is mostly authority.

Lyon guessed and performed divination, combining information from his past life to fill in the gaps in his understanding of the divine realm.

'If Astalia hadn't left her authority to Britta, she would probably only have the strength of a demigod after her resurrection, or even less.'

With the help of divination, Leon also understood why Astalia would establish a sect centered solely on humans.

This is probably the foundation upon which she was able to quickly surpass many ancient gods.

As she pondered, Tayamishi seemed to have been made to doubt God by Astalia's words. Her translucent scales stopped fluttering and she lay helplessly on Leon's shoulder, sprawled out, with a blank and thoughtful expression on her face.

Leon blinked, suddenly feeling a strong urge to pinch the figurine-like little thing.

he asked:

"The goddess Tayamishili, the twelfth rank is called holy, so what about the eleventh rank? What is it called?"

Taiyami Shili sighed, "If it were before, I would have been happy to explain to you, a mere mortal, but now, I'm not in the mood."

Lyon laughed and said, "You just praised Astalia for her high divine talent, saying that she will definitely achieve more than you in the future."

"The future is the future, but how can you expect me to accept this now?"

Tayami Shili sighed for a long time.

Lyon then said, "Judging from your tone, it seems you're not confident about advancing to the twelfth rank?"

"Of course, that's the twelfth rank, the rank at the pinnacle of godhood. Otherwise, why do you think I would take such a huge risk to choose to perish naturally on this continent that is about to be swallowed up? It's because each rank is harder than the last."

Lyon's heart stirred slightly. The twelfth rank was the pinnacle?

What are the ranks of the Goddess of End, the Goddess of Origin, and Astalia's Mother Goddess of Life?

"The eleventh rank is a god."

Astalia chuckled softly, seemingly finding the interaction between Tayamishili and Leon amusing, and offered an explanation:

"There is a saying in the history of mythology that can summarize it: God becomes enlightened, God becomes spiritual, God becomes holy. That is, to understand authority, to spiritualize authority, and to sanctify authority, these are the three stages of Godhood."

Lyon pondered for a moment and said, "Ming refers to comprehending the characteristics and the origin of magic, and sublimating them into authority is what makes one a god. Ling refers to the further sublimation of authority, or wielding new authority? Saint means possessing three kinds of authority, or a single authority being sublimated three times, wielding a purer and more profound power?"

Astalia's voice praised, "That's right, it seems you've already secretly divined quite a bit about the divine realm?"

Lyon laughed and said, "As expected of the God, I do have this thirst for knowledge, and I also have some doubts. Since the God is so strong, why did you say that you couldn't deal with Feherrotija?"

"Then why don't you take a guess?"

Astalia's voice remained ambiguous.

"You wouldn't be thinking of removing the demon from her body, and you're also waiting for the demon within her to evolve into a divine demon, would you?"

Lyon said casually.

"what."

Astalia let out a soft "hmm".

"I actually guessed it right?"

Lyon chuckled and said, "My Lord, it seems you also need merit. And if you want to earn more merit, you can only get it from demons. It seems that ordinary methods are no longer enough for you to earn merit."

Astalia's voice trailed off for a moment.

"You really know how to find opportunities to probe for information from me."

“If it were any other god, I certainly wouldn’t have the guts.”

"Oh? Why?"

"Because the gods are the epitome of goodness and beauty."

"Ha, no wonder you can charm my favorite child."

Astalia's voice was calm.

[Goddess Astalia's favorability +1%, current favorability 8%]

When the favorability rating reached 8%, Leon noticed that the external environment seemed to be a little bit more friendly to him.

The feeling of increased fortune that I had experienced when I first entered this shattered continent has faded.

But even though he was far away from Astalia's true form, Leon still felt a strange sensation at that moment—

'If I go to the casino now, I probably won't lose money no matter what I bet.'

Lady Luck is truly amazing.

"There's another point. Besides God's own plans, the fact that God nurtured Britta and had me help Lady Castiga was also to gain merit in nurturing God, right? In the current environment where the ascension to godhood is suppressed, the merit in nurturing God, combined with previous accumulation, would probably be enough to help God reach the thirteenth rank, wouldn't you agree?"

Lyon asked again.

Astalia's voice chuckled, like the tinkling of wind chimes:

"You little rascal, it seems there's a reason you were able to create your own miraculous astrologer profession. But aren't you afraid of knowing too much, making enemies you shouldn't, and meeting with unforeseen circumstances?"

Lyon then laughed and said:

"No, because Your Majesty will never encounter a talent like me again. Someone who can help you solve many problems and even help you advance to the thirteenth rank, you will definitely protect me from other calamities."

"You're quite confident."

"My confidence comes from knowing. If I knew nothing, my only option would be humility."

"Well, you know that, but don't take advantage of my respect to court disaster."

Astalia paused for a moment, then said:

"That's enough chit-chat, we should go now."

Upon hearing this, Tayamishili said:

"Since Lady Astalia is capable of taking me away, then please take me away. Although my rank probably won't be of much help to you, and it will take a long time for me to recover my strength, please don't hesitate to ask if there's anything you need me for in the future."

"I'm happy with your promise. I'll definitely need your help in the future."

Astalia smiled and said:
