You are all my wings!

Wow, her popularity rating is skyrocketing!

After decades of suppression, its sudden eruption is indeed not to be underestimated.

"Time is a tangled mess, facts are more important than timelines, and I obviously arrived earlier than you."

Bai Shaqilai crossed her arms, her peach-blossom-like eyes looking down at Hamra, who was slightly shorter than her, her pinkish-purple glass-like pupils flashing with a sinister and cold light.

Lyon was speechless.

"Wait, don't rush to argue. The important thing now is that we're all trapped in this historical timeline, and how to get out is the key!"

He gave Hamra a look, then quickly said:

"Bai Shaqilai, let's sort out the situation first. How did you suddenly gain memories of the future? Hamra and I came here through the [Stairway to Life and Death] of the Trial of Ascension to Godhood, so how did you get here?"

"I'm the same as you."

When Leon asked, Bai Shaqilai put on a charming and alluring expression, leaned close to Leon's other arm, and said:

"To put it simply, I was also sent here by the [Life and Death Path], but the situation is different. When I was about to forge the essence of life, a mysterious being stole the prototype of the essence of life, and my soul was trapped in the body of this time and space. Fortunately, I met you, and I don't know what happened, but I suddenly regained my memories."

Lyon's eyes flickered slightly: "Weren't you trapped in the ruins of the gods by the forest apostles? How did you also enter the Ascension Staircase?"

As for the person who took away her life essence, it was most likely that 'Cheng Erhe Li'.

"Because there is also a passage inside the ruins of the gods that connects to the steps leading to godhood."

Bai Shaqilai said, "After the Forest Apostle realized that the Ascension Staircase had been suddenly unsealed, she sent me, Helvie, Moripe, Mshifisu, and Kekeqi in, asking us to obtain the fragments of authority for her. The first staircase I entered was the [Staircase of Life and Death].

Lyon thought to himself that perhaps this was the reason why his deal negotiations had broken down.

What surprised him even more was that Bai Shaqilai started with such a high intensity.

What rank are you now?

"Epic level. Not long after you left, the Forest Apostle suddenly gave me two time-related treasures, which enabled me to successfully upgrade the Chess Master to the seventh rank and the Astrologer to the eighth rank."

Bai Shaqilai said.

Lyon was even more surprised: "The Forest Apostle is so good to you?"

However, if it's due to the blessing of two time-related treasures, it's not surprising that she arrived at the [Stairway to Life and Death] on her first visit.

"Hehe, I think it's because of you. You, the miracle astrologer, have performed many miracles for her, so she might want to invest in me and use me to give her divination information."

As Bai Shaqilai spoke, she couldn't resist wanting to kiss Leon:

“Honey, it’s been so long! Let’s find a place to spend the night together.”

Leon avoided Bai Shaqilai and said, "This body of mine is an illusion. Let's talk about it after I get my real body back."

"Oh, won't that mean we'll have to wait a long time?"

Bai Shaqilai's pink lips are slightly pouting.

"No need, I've already figured out a way to retrieve my original body."

Lyon laughed.

He was naturally uneasy if he continued to use the body fabricated by 'Cheng Erhe Li'.

Moreover, since his goal was to escape this time and space, the most crucial thing was to prevent Bell's identity from being integrated into this time and space.

Moreover, we must not change the original course of history to avoid future chaos.

Of course, for minor changes, he believed that divination could be used to determine the direction in advance, and then adjustments could be made gradually.

Hamra's eyes lit up, and he too became eager to join in.

She gently brought her face closer to Lyon and whispered:

“Leon, although you and I are husband and wife in name, we have never consummated our marriage. Let’s settle this issue tonight.”

Chapter 449 Miracle Astrologer Advancement

Half a day later, inside a neat underground cave.

How did you create this body from the future?

Bai Shaqilai could not hide her shock.

Lyon said, "It's my self-created [Elementary Deduction Return to Truth] technique. Just now, I was pulled back to the [Stairway to Life and Death] by that mysterious being. When I faced her and engaged in a verbal battle with her, I suddenly had an epiphany and successfully sublimated this skill."

Bai Shaqilai looked completely bewildered.

Lyon smiled; Baisaqilai was also a good target for deception.

In particular, deceiving her, the only astrologer in the world, can greatly enhance his own ability to create miracle astrologers.

Based on the previous gains from the Essence of Illusion and Reality, he originally thought that he would gain the enlightenment to advance to the rank of Miracle Astrologer when he defrauded 'Cheng Erhe Li'.

However, it seems that it's still one step away from success.

Now, the final push depends on Bai Shaqilai.

As for how he regained his body, it was naturally through interference and fraud.

When he received the mission reward through the panel, he found the location where his true body was sealed in his mind, but the scene he saw at the time was not clear.

He originally thought he would need to complete several more missions to find the true location where his body was sealed, and then use his magic and mental power to gradually break the seal.

However, before being sent back to this time and space, he spent his time chatting with 'Cheng Erhe Li' and also took the time to activate the skills he had recovered.

He took the opportunity to use interference fraud to prematurely lock down his fraudster profession, sealing it into a black box similar to Anemi's. This way, when he was sent back to the past, this profession skill would not be locked because it could not be detected.

Once you return to this time and space and trigger the keyword, you can unlock it.

So he regained his con artist abilities.

It went exceptionally smoothly.

This means he was right; the restriction on high-level knowledge is a one-time event, only taking effect the moment [Life and Death Advancement] is activated.

Unfortunately, 'Cheng Erhe Li' changed his tune too suddenly at the time, and he was unable to seal off other high-level knowledge, only retaining the knowledge of the trickster. Otherwise, he would have been more composed this time.

Fortunately, the advanced divination skill rewarded through the panel and the magic cultivated on this illusory body are still there.

Finally, having regained his fraudulent abilities, it became much easier for him to reclaim his body.

'The invisible seal that imprisons my true form—you do not exist, you are nothingness!'

This deceptive statement instantly consumed about 70 points of his mental energy, an extremely high and terrifying amount. He invested five portions of the Essence of Illusion and Reality to maintain the deceptive effect, and then his body took the opportunity to successfully escape.

That's the whole process.

In the eyes of Bai Shaqilai and Hamra, it was only a blink of an eye when the illusory body fell to the ground, and the original Leon appeared before them.

The shell on the ground had a slightly ethereal appearance, while the real Lyon was unusually solid, which was quite strange.

However, Bai Shaqilai was still confused: "It sounds amazing, but how exactly does this magic work?"

Hamra, with a hint of curiosity, pinched various parts of Leon's body, seemingly regaining some of her innocent nature, her eyes sparkling with pure curiosity:

"It really is you from the future. How did you manage to do that?"

"Based on my observation, the 'Stairway to Life and Death' uses a very clever method to allow us to travel through time and space."

Lyon explained:

"First of all, the difficulty of transmigrating in one's physical body is far greater than that of transmigrating in one's soul. Do you know why?"

Bai Shaqilai said, "I know that, because spacetime is a tangled mess, and people are just a speck of dust on that mess. The soul is the speck of dust within the speck, lighter and less burdened, and is easily thrown into the past by the immense power of spacetime."

"That's right. The method used by the [Life and Death Path] is to compress our bodies and transform them into a more intangible and intangible flow of information through repeated illusory life and death reversals, thus traversing time and space in the form of information flow. In this transformation process, we can experience the essence of life and may even forge a unique life essence."

Based on the information he had obtained from his previous conversation with 'Cheng Erhe Li', as well as the accounts given by Bai Shaqi Lai and Hamla, Leon had already made a general assessment of the situation.

As he spoke, he pointed at Hamra and said, "You said before that you experienced three life-or-death reversals before you transmigrated into this body, right?"

Hamra nodded: "I'm not sure if it's a reversal of life and death, but I did die three times and was resurrected three times, and each time I was myself at a different time. The difference is that I experienced different lives after making different choices than before."

Lyon nodded; this was indeed the same as his first time.

However, starting from the second time, he was clearly disturbed by 'Cheng Erhe Li' and began to change in a more difficult direction.

Perhaps the previous eight life-and-death reversals were also a preliminary process, allowing his own body to be compressed deep enough to be projected into the distant past.

As for Hamra, obviously due to the lower difficulty level, this time he can only travel to twenty years after his birth.

Lyon then looked at Bai Shaqilai and asked, "And you, how many times have you experienced life-or-death situations?"

Bai Shaqilai said, "This is my ninth time, and each time I have made different life choices. Originally, at the end of the ninth time, I had already forged the essence of life according to the reminder of the mysterious text of the [Life and Death Long Path], but it was suddenly taken away by that mysterious person. Now I feel empty, as if a large part of my soul is missing, and my lifespan has been greatly reduced."

Lyon said, "According to my deduction, your life essence should still be in that mysterious person's true form. Have you seen what that person looks like?"

"No, all I know is that it was a woman, shrouded in a thick mist."

Bai Shaqilai said:

"However, you just said that we were transformed into information streams and projected into the past. So you mean that the [Elementary Deduction Reversal Technique] can reverse this process? So you used this to successfully retrieve your original body?"

Lyon nodded: "That's right, it seems you've already gained some understanding of the path of traversing time and space."

Bai Shaqilai smiled broadly at the compliment, and couldn't help but meow, rubbing her fluffy pink cat ears against Leon's neck, making him feel all ticklish.

"It's mainly because of your guidance last time, Leon. I've already grasped a lot of the Miracle Astrology you taught me, and I'll be able to perfect the subsequent systems soon."

[Villain Bai Shaqi Lai's favorability +2%, current favorability 104%]

[Spacetime instability detected; mission data verification in progress...]

[The villain Bai Shaqilai's hidden main quest "Prophecy and the Prophet" has been completed at +30%, currently at 40% completion.]

Lyon's eyes lit up; it seemed he would soon receive the mid-game mission rewards.

But that wasn't all; another message popped up on the panel.

[You have deceived gods and epic astrologers multiple times, and their detailed descriptions of skills have gained the trust of your deception. You have triggered an Ascension Inspiration.]

[Because the skills you described have successfully penetrated the minds of several important figures, you have awakened the Miracle Astrologer skill ahead of schedule: Fundamental Deduction of Truth]

[Effects: Can enhance the effectiveness of miracle divination by using basic facts to deduce and facilitate the mutual transformation of the soul and information flow]

Lyon's eyes lit up. Sure enough, his fabricated skill had worked after multiple deceptions.

'This skill I fabricated seems even more overpowered than interference fraud. No wonder it took deceiving Margaret, Astalia, 'Chengerheli,' and even Baishaqilai and Hamra to successfully acquire it.'

At this moment, Bai Shaqilai asked, "By the way, now that you've regained your body, can we begin? I've missed you for so long."

Her expression was charming and alluring, and she seemed impatient.

Hamra coughed lightly and said seriously, "You can only be ranked after me. I've been with Leon for almost twenty years, and we haven't even had sex yet. Shouldn't you give way to me?"

Leon chuckled and suddenly reached out to pull the two of them into his arms.

"This is a rare opportunity, how about we have a one-on-two match?"

Hamra looked at Lyon earnestly: "This is my first time, and I hope to have a memory with you alone for the first time. As for the future, I'll let you have as many people as you want."

Lyon nodded and said, "That makes sense."

Beside her, Bai Shaqilai pressed herself against her, her eyes filled with seductive allure:

"Darling, the me in front of you is the me of the past, a younger and more naive me, the me who hasn't had any sexual experience yet. Don't you want my first time in this timeline? That way you'll have my first time twice, okay?"

Lyon was speechless; he realized a problem.

If I were to take care of them before this time, wouldn't that drastically change the future?

Wouldn't this just be a stepping stone for 'Cheng Erhe Li'?

Unless I also unblock their true forms, then I will be dealing with their true forms.

"Bai Shaqilai, although I really want to take your virginity again, let's save this body's virginity for my future self. Don't let the pleasure of this moment cause us to miss the chance to get to know each other in the future."

Lyon laughed:

"Wait a minute, let me upgrade the Miracle Astrologer's rank. If the upgrade is successful, I might have the resources to release your two true forms as well."

"Ok."

Bai Shaqilai had no choice but to accept it.

Hamra's gaze remained unchanged as she stared intently at Lyon: "And what about me?"
