You are all my wings!

"Okay, go ahead and pour it in."

Castiglione nodded solemnly.

Leon stood outside the magic circle, lifting the two fragments of authority into the void, and began to activate the [Truth Deduction Technique].

boom!!!!!

A flood of life-related knowledge poured into his mind, but Leon remained calm and quickly transformed this vast amount of knowledge into a knowledge cloud, which he then transmitted remotely to Castiglione's mind.

All of this happened very quickly. Once the fragments of authority were released from their special compressed form, they would erupt instantly, making it impossible to condense them using ordinary methods.

Therefore, this can only be instilled immediately.

After completing these tasks, Leon knew that it would take Castiglione a lot of time to digest them all, so he began to savor the knowledge he had acquired.

'It's a bit of a pity, this knowledge is only at its most complete when one is in a state of authority; after I passed it on, many of the connections between the knowledge points became fragmented.'

Just as he was thinking this, a thought suddenly occurred to him: if he could use deception to preserve this knowledge, wouldn't he be able to comprehend this knowledge of the life-system authority at any time?

He immediately launched into his deception: 'Those vanished fragments of authority, after you transformed them into a cloud of knowledge, still have a complete backup in my mind…'

However, when he was committing this deception, he found that an unbearable pressure was pressing down on his mind, causing him a splitting headache.

He immediately stopped the fraud.

'It seems the knowledge level of this fragment of authority is very high; my mental energy cannot keep up with its demands.'

He immediately switched to a different deceptive tactic: 'Regarding that vanished fragment of authority, you possess at least one piece of mystical knowledge that will remain in my mind.'

After such deception, he kept two of the secrets at the cost of most of his mental energy and one portion of the essence of illusion.

And this secret lies in the [veins] and [flesh and blood], which were the two secrets he had previously thought were quite good.

Although if Castiglione could become a god, he could learn her secrets in the future, it was obviously not bad to keep her by his side to study them in advance.

Another half day passed, and Castiglione's aura grew stronger and stronger. The divine treasures on the ground began to resonate with the nascent authority within her body, emitting magnificent holy light.

Boom! Boom!

In the sky, dark clouds began to gather, and muffled thunder echoed from within them. An invisible divine power gathered and gradually covered the barren mountain.

Castiglione opened her eyes and looked at Leon:

"I didn't expect that the process of condensing authority would go so smoothly. It's a pity that my tribulation to become a god is coming soon. You'd better stay away. I have a feeling that because I have cultivated the bloodlines of many powerful demons into my body, I'm afraid I will have a hard time surviving this tribulation."

She remained calm and composed, showing no signs of panic, clearly prepared to die if she failed.

Then, she threw the remaining two fragments of life-related authority from her body at Leon.

"Take these as a thank you for your help along the way."

[Castiga's affection level +6%, current affection level 52%]

Lyon caught the fragment of authority, then threw it back:

“What I want is not for you to fail and turn to ashes, but to see you become a god, to see a goddess whom I personally push to the throne. If your understanding is that you will die if you fail to become a god, then your understanding is too immature and does not deserve all the torment you have endured.”

Castiglione blinked as she took the fragment of authority, then looked up and stared at Leon.

[Castiga's affection level +6%, current affection level 58%]

"and."

Leon smiled slightly: "I have placed a sure-fire spell on you, called the Miracle Spell. It is a brand new magic that I learned from the Truth Deduction Technique. With this, you are capable of creating miracles."

"[Miracle Spell]?"

"That's right. The stronger your will, the more miracles and magical spells you can create."

Lyon improvised a skill on the spot.

"Is there really such amazing magic?"

Castiglione was surprised.

"Of course there is. When have I ever lied to you? The key to my miracle magic is your confidence and awareness. If you don't have the confidence to break through this level, then no matter how much you accumulate, even if you quickly comprehend these mysteries with the help of these fragments of authority, you will still fail."

Lyon was merciless in his words.

Castiglione was stunned.

After a while, she said:

"Then you should leave quickly to avoid danger."

Leon sensed a subtle emotion in Castiglione, the final panic of someone who had been preparing for years to finally achieve godhood.

This is the first time someone has directly challenged this suppression since the Ascension to Godhood was suppressed.

Even if she were very calm, she would probably be trembling uncontrollably at this moment.

I've only gone this far; perhaps I'm still not enough to help her truly break through the real barrier set up by the Goddess of Origin.

"Fine."

Lyon smiled and said, "It seems I'll have to let you witness my [Miracle Spell] for yourself."

Castiglione frowned: "My tribulation to become a god is coming in a few minutes. Aren't you afraid of the danger?"

"I am afraid, of course I am afraid, but I will stay and help you get through this difficult time, so that you can become the first goddess in three million years to successfully challenge the suppression of godhood."

Lyon laughed and said, "What, you don't welcome me here?"

Chapter 456 Castiglione: It seems I have no choice but to marry him.

"Are you serious?"

Castiglione couldn't help but stare at Lyon again.

"Of course, my [Miracle Spell] has already been cast on you. If you fail, it means that the magic I created has failed, which won't do."

Lyon said:

"Moreover, even if you could have succeeded at the beginning, you might fail at the last minute if you do it this way."

Castiglione chuckled, "You're taking this opportunity to lecture me, but you've certainly given me a wake-up call. With that half-baked mentality I had before, it's easy to fail. Thanks."

[Castiga's affection level +4%, current affection level 62%]

Lyon said, "Just thanking me isn't enough; you have to do everything you can to succeed."

"of course."

In the final two minutes before the impending doom, Castiglione gazed at Leon, seeing his unwavering composure and extreme confidence under the immense pressure of his divine power before his ascension to godhood. A strange thought flashed through her mind: 'If I can become a god, I'll marry him.'

This idea came from nowhere, but it unexpectedly gave her a lot of confidence.

Is it because you remembered the bet you made before?

If I lose, I'll marry him?

Or was it because he seemed to have more conviction than himself?

These thoughts were not chaotic, but rather quite clear.

Castiglione's mood brightened considerably.

'Then let me witness just how magical your [Miracle Spell] truly is.'

She slowly closed her eyes, awaiting the final moment.

What the tribulations of becoming a god are, no one knows.

But the rolling dark clouds in the sky clearly signify some kind of irresistible terror.

Lyon stood at a distance that was neither too close nor too far, gazing at the sky, silently contemplating the future.

Although Castiglione was worried that the aftermath of the calamity would affect Leon, Leon had already consulted a divination beforehand and believed that it would most likely not have much of an impact on him.

You can even observe it in person and learn about the details.

If things accidentally become exceptionally dangerous, then enter Shadowless State and completely isolate yourself from the danger.

Soon, the final moment arrived, and as the dark clouds gathered, a strange scene unfolded.

It wasn't the lightning strike Leon expected, but a far more bizarre and mysterious scene.

Suddenly, countless pale white skeleton phantoms, burning with green flames, emerged from the ground and leaped up, surrounding Castiglione as if to attack her, but were blocked by a layer of holy light around her.

Leon observed intently and discovered that these skeletal phantoms seemed to be reflected from the authority that Castiglione had condensed. As her authority became more complete, these skeletal phantoms became more solid.

The process of the illusory image solidifying is also a miraculous process of the body condensing, the veins shaping, the flesh filling, and the fetus growing in the womb.

"I see. Because Castiglione's authority is inextricably linked to the creation of intelligent beings, her path to godhood requires her to resist the pressure from the world while simultaneously using the power of her authority to transform the invading forces of world calamities into intelligent beings."

'If the transformation is successful, perhaps she will have passed the world's test.'

'However, this is only a test of authority. Normally, there should also be tests of divinity, divine power, and divine body.'

Based on his past experience of failing to ascend to godhood, Lyon immediately realized why it is said that the four key sources of power for gods are determined by the tribulations of becoming a god.

Divinity is the sublimation of the soul, divine power is the sublimation of the poems, divine body is the sublimation of the physique, and authority is the sublimation of magic, characteristics, and mysteries.

Observing these details, Lyon seemed to have a sudden realization.

Moreover, Castiglione's continuous use of his authority to resist the phantoms evolved by the power of the world, and the process of transforming them, was clearly beneficial to his understanding of the mysteries of [Flesh and Blood] and [Meridians]. Combined with the vast amount of mysterious knowledge he had stored in his mind, this process was obviously much more efficient than usual.

Without hesitation, he activated the eight modes and devoted himself to comprehending them.

Three hours passed in the blink of an eye.

The clouds in the sky grew denser, obscuring the surroundings as if it were a dark night.

Only on the desolate mountain, the emerald flames shone even more sharply and dazzlingly, turning the mountaintop into a ghostly and eerie place.

Lyon discovered that as Castigatti became more proficient in the power of authority, the power of the world's intrusion became increasingly terrifying, already comparable to the strength of a peak tenth-tier expert.

As a result, despite Castigatti's ever-increasing strength, the pressure continued to mount. Her slender and graceful figure began to bend, and beads of sweat trickled down her snow-white cheeks, which were quickly evaporated by the green flames.

Moreover, the authority of the life system also seems to be closely related to the authority of the death system.

The more solid the phantom became, the more abundant the death energy around it became. In the cloud-covered land, many undead could be heard awakening as if drawn by these sounds, roaring in the void with ear-piercing sounds that echoed through the sky.

These sounds were incredibly powerful, a cacophony of roars that struck Castiglione from afar, causing blood to seep from the corner of her mouth. Clearly, her body, with its lifespan nearing its end, was more susceptible to the onslaught of massive amounts of death energy.

Although she is still very young, it is true that she is being interfered with by so many special bloodlines.

Upon seeing this, Lyon knew that he had indeed made the right decision to stay.

If I weren't there, Castigatti would definitely be corrupted by the power of death and collapse prematurely.

Although her previous preparations were thorough, she was closer than ever to the realm of the gods.

However, it is also true that his physical condition is not good.

Lyon began to deceive the forces of death from afar: 'You are flowing water, you are air, you are not forces of death, you can't harm people.'

The power of death is not inherently strong; its strength lies in its sheer quantity. Therefore, it is not difficult for him to deceive it. He only needs to deceive the power of death for a moment when it comes into contact with Castiga before shifting his target.

In this way, the power of death can be neutralized with relatively little consumption.

Castiglione immediately sensed the sharp decrease in the power of death and, in the midst of her busy work, glanced at Leon for a moment.

Leon noticed her gaze and laughed, "See that? This is my [Miracle Spell]. As long as you firmly believe that you can become a god, this [Miracle Spell] can unleash the power to create miracles."

Castiglione's expression shifted, and she focused even more intently on dealing with the phantoms that evolved from the power of the world.

[Castiga's affection level +4%, current affection level 66%]

In the blink of an eye, another two hours have passed.

Lyon's mental energy was gradually running out. Although he had been continuously replenishing his body with monster flesh to speed up his recovery, this tribulation to become a god was clearly not something that could be resolved in a short time.

Fortunately, the undead summoned by the power of death gradually exhausted themselves, and the power they transmitted weakened, giving Leon the space to recover his mental strength.

However, while Leon was able to recover, Castiglione only alleviated the pressure of the power of death, but the test of the world's power on her authority was clearly still increasing.

At this moment, those phantoms had solidified into something like real intelligent beings, each one lifelike, including ordinary cows, sheep, horses, pigs, and so on.

There was originally a phantom image of another person, but for some reason, this phantom image suddenly exploded during the process.

Fortunately, this doesn't affect anything else.

However, the tribulations of becoming a god have never passed.
