You are all my wings!

Because he had previously sealed this memory away, he never considered Anemi's factors when thinking about problems.

"Could this time loop be fake? But why can my future self be extracted normally?"

Lyon fell into deep thought.

"The future body you extracted should be real, but whether the past body is real is hard to say. I even suspect that M'shiluna thought it was the real past, while the Goddess of Origin actually created a parallel past."

As Anemi said this, she smiled and said:

"For the first two months after you were born as 'Bell,' I kept thinking about when I would perish. As a result, I waited day after day, but because I was never sure of my safety, I watched you spend more than 20 years in this strange world. You are still so intelligent and charming, which fascinates me... Hehe, I'm getting off topic. Anyway, this time loop is very strange. It seems both real and fake."

Lyon asked, "Are you familiar with M'shiruna?"

"It's alright, but I didn't get along with her before."

Anemi said, "I was the one who raised her back then, but she was very rebellious when she was young and lost contact with me very early on. After becoming a god, she soon faced the calamity of the era."

Lyon said, "Then do you think there's anything she's hiding? She seems very open now, but there are still quite a few things that don't align with our goals."

"I can't tell yet."

Anemi said, "However, I suggest you take a look at the End of the World. If you want to leave this time loop, going to the End of the World may be the best way."

"If you go there, and your lifespan continues normally, what then?"

Lyon frowned.

"It's alright. I'm content just to live these extra years and keep watching you. My soul was already severely damaged, and now I've lost my body. How could I possibly advance in such a short time?"

Anemie smiled with a sense of relief.

Lyon had a sudden thought. He had just triggered the sixth-level trickster's advancement enlightenment. At this moment, could he create another body for her?

"If I could create a completely new body for you, would there be a chance to heal your soul wounds and extend your lifespan?"

Chapter 457 Castigatti: I Want to Be Your Wife

"Help me create a body? You mean using that Castiglione's life-related authority?"

Anemi was taken aback: "It's just that my soul still retains the laws of origin, which an ordinary body cannot accommodate."

Lyon said, "I have an idea. If you could obtain a perfectly matched body, could you advance to the twelfth rank as quickly as possible?"

After a moment of thought, Anemi said, "Even if it exists, it's impossible to do it so quickly. I'm still missing some mysteries to reach the twelfth rank."

Approximately how many mysteries are missing?

"Leon asked."

"I have mastered more than forty wind-related mysteries, of which thirty have already been condensed into authority. Of the remaining ten or so, only six can match them. In other words, I need at least four mysteries that match my six mysteries in order to condense the third authority."

Anemi said:

"Besides authority, I also need enough divine energy to maintain basic consumption. In addition, I am an eleventh-order divine body, so I need to start cultivating from scratch, which is very difficult. As for the divine spark, it is not so bad. As long as the injury to the soul is healed, the divine spark can maintain its full strength."

"What about Divine Might? Doesn't it also need to be elevated?"

"That's enough. Having absorbed enough chaotic elements from the end of the era and resolved the great calamity at the end of the era, this achievement is sufficient, even enough to allow me to advance to the thirteenth rank."

"So the key is still the mystery. Can you comprehend the mystery in your current state?"

“My current state is strange; it’s a special flow of information, yet I can still understand the outside world through my senses.”

Anemie paused, then said:

"However, although we use the same senses, many of the details I see are different from yours. As for the mysteries, I need you to actively transform this knowledge into the same information flow and pour it into me in order to absorb it."

Leon understood and said, "I see. You are now like a stream of soul information that is getting weaker and weaker. If I can enhance the essence of your information stream, can I extend your soul lifespan?"

Anemiai pondered for a moment and said:

“I’m not sure if it’s feasible, because the reason why the lifespan of the soul is diminished is mainly because spirituality is finite and will be consumed over time. This is the root cause of why gods have to naturally perish every hundred thousand years or so. Although I am currently in the state of information flow, I should also contain this kind of information flow that has been transformed into spirituality. I estimate that spirituality must be increased in order to extend the lifespan of the soul.”

Is [spirituality] also one of the ten powerful authorities?

Lyon seemed to be deep in thought, meaning that only by mastering the secrets related to these ten powers could he possibly help Anemiai prolong her life.

I wonder if I can use the methods of a con artist to gain access to these kinds of mysteries.

Thinking of this, he said:

"You've been with me for over twenty years, so you should know that I've mastered quite a few material miracle magics. I wonder if you've ever seen my future self use this [Truth Deduction Technique]?"

Anemi: "No, it seems that you in the future haven't elevated the [Elementary Deduction Technique] to its current level."

Lyon was deep in thought.

My future self didn't master the art of truth deduction?

Was it because he was inspired by Anemi and committed fraud beforehand that he was able to succeed?

However, the true reason why this Truth Deduction Technique was able to successfully ascend to its highest level was mainly because it successfully deceived M'shiruna, who had borrowed the will of the Origin Goddess at that time.

The deception originates from the will of the goddess; that is the greatest buff.

Perhaps because he didn't meet Anemi beforehand, he lacked a lot of crucial information and was unable to complete that deception, which is why the incredible skill of Truth Deduction never appeared.

"It seems I have to thank you, Anemii, for allowing me to elevate this magic to this level this time."

Lyon laughed:

"Actually, I went through Castiglione's ordeal of becoming a god and witnessed her process of enlightening the wisdom of species with the authority of life. I was also slightly moved and comprehended another magic of material miracles called the [Miracle of the Spirit]. It allows me to extract a small amount of spirituality from matter. Isn't that a coincidence?"

Agnimi exclaimed in surprise, "What a coincidence! You've never shown any magic like this before!"

Leon said, "My future self, without the Truth Deduction Technique, probably wouldn't have been able to help Castiglione become a god so quickly, right? Have you, my future self, ever met her?"

Agnimi said, "I don't know her well, but I have heard of her. She is said to be your eighth wife, several before me."

Sweat, eighth place?

Isn't this right after Camille and Hamla?

For some reason, Leon sensed a hint of melancholy in her voice, so he asked:

"Why are they all my wives, yet you don't know them at all?"

"Yes, because everyone will be separated in the future."

Anemi sighed, "The epochal catastrophe is about to begin, and the world is already in chaos. Everyone is busy with various things, so there's no time for reunions."

Lyon felt a chill run down his spine; he hadn't expected the future to be so complicated.

"So, besides Iris, how are the others?"

“Besides Castiglione, I only met Machiru, Camille, Terena, and Margaret back then. I didn’t get to know your other confidantes. However, judging from your appearance at the time, apart from Iris, whom you regretted for a long time, you should all be safe. Some of them are just trapped in certain places.”

Anemie's voice was deep and resonant.

Lyon felt a little relieved. As long as she was safe, that was all that mattered. As for Iris, now that he knew, he naturally wouldn't let her go into that kind of danger.

"Speaking of which, what is the true strength of the Goddess of Origin?"

"It might be the sixteenth rank. After all, there are seven Origin Laws. Each Origin Law is second only to one of the Ten Powerful Authority. The combination of seven is terrifying."

Agnimi's voice slightly trembled:

"Of course, it's also possible that the thirteenth rank is the limit, because the difficulty of going from the twelfth rank to the thirteenth rank is very high. It is said to be hundreds of times more difficult than going from the ninth rank to the tenth rank. I haven't heard of the existence of a thirteenth rank in the past two eras. Or, the key to reaching the thirteenth rank may be the power of the ten strongest. In short, the higher you go, the more difficult it becomes, and the gap becomes larger and larger."

Lyon couldn't help but become somewhat serious.

After all, she is the goddess of origin, a supreme deity born at the same time as the world, and has a precipitous advantage over other gods.

According to mythological history, the earliest was the Genesis Era, followed by the Age of Gods, the Age of Eden, and finally the end of the current Flood Era.

Each era lasts for tens of millions of years, and the Origin and End Goddesses are nature gods born at the same time as the Genesis Era. They are different species from the intelligent beings born after the Eden Era who cultivated themselves into gods.

As for demons, they existed in the era of gods and in the early Eden era.

In addition, dragons and apostles, divine species, were born in the era of divine species. It was not until the Eden era and the hybridization of intelligent species that elves and dragonmen, the two great long-lived species of our time, were slowly born.

Whether it's the thirteenth or the sixteenth order, it's just a number.

Because the authority formed from any single origin law is many times stronger than ordinary authority.

Then, Leon continued to fabricate some details about the "Miracle of the Spirits" and told Anemii to refine the basic rhetoric first.

Anemi probably has a much weaker soul now, so deceiving her won't be very effective.

This is just a rehearsal; later, we'll try to fool others and see if we can master this skill.

After chatting for a while, Agemi offered another piece of advice:

"Don't feel pressured. Even if I don't succeed, it doesn't matter to me. As for the future, I believe you will overcome all difficulties. If possible, change my destiny in the future so that I don't have to rush to improve and can also alleviate the problem."

Leon said, "Try it first, and we'll see if it doesn't work. I'll find you some fragments of wind-elemental authority later to help you comprehend these mysteries in advance. What wind-elemental mysteries are you still missing?"

"As long as it's related to [Fluidity], that's fine, because I still have some primordial laws remaining in my soul, which can forcibly combine all the mysteries below the [Fluidity] law."

Anemiei said.

Lyon understood. The group had only obtained one fragment of the wind-elemental authority before, and he didn't know if it could match the [Flow] law.

If a match can be found, then all that's needed is to find a wind-type power fragment.

As they spoke, the group took to the air one after another, heading back to the halflings' temporary encampment.

Lyon planned to advance his rank after returning home. The commotion here was too great, and sooner or later it would attract some powerful figures to watch, which would be bad, since they were all in their future forms at the moment. If they encountered some acquaintances from the past, it would be extremely easy for problems to arise.

During the flight, Castiglione casually flew alongside Leon and then spoke:

"Now that I've become a god, I think it's time to fulfill our bet, isn't it?"

"A bet?"

Lyon blinked. Just now, Agniemiy said that she would become his eighth wife. Has she caught up so quickly?

"Are you saying you beat me, so the previous bet is invalid?"

"No, you've won this round, because you're the one who put me on the throne of a god. So, according to the agreement, I should marry you and become your wife, shouldn't I?"

Castiglione pursed her lips, revealing a serious expression.

Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked and turned their gazes in unison.

What the hell?

Did they mishear?

A god, a god who has now gained the lifespan of three lifetimes and is guaranteed to live for at least two or three hundred thousand years, is in such a hurry to marry Leon.

From the time they met to the time they came into contact, judging from the time it took to ascend the steps to the divine realm, it should have been no more than four days, right?

Even if we only consider the timeline in this timeline, the total number of times they met was only two, and the total time they spent together didn't even exceed one day, right?

Is Castiglione really that erratic?

Isn't she too bold and radical?

Margaret frowned: "Castiga, are you crazy?"

She was the only one in the room who dared to ask Castiglione in that tone; the other women were of a different rank and had a different relationship with her before.

"Crazy? Why would I be crazy?"

Castiglione was surprised, her beautiful, dark, glass-like eyes widening in astonishment.

"Do you know what this means? You're already a god, with a mind that looks down on the mortal world. Shouldn't you be completely indifferent to these worldly desires? Even if you want to thank Lyon, it doesn't have to be like this, does it? You could have given him some suitable upgrade treasures."

As a deity, Margaret understood this feeling of looking down from above even better.

After becoming a god, due to wielding authority, possessing profound knowledge in a field, undergoing the sublimation of the Psalms, and having their divine nature solidified, one would logically expect their state of mind to become more detached.

Of course, Margaret herself could not deny that she now seemed to be developing some strange feelings for Lyon.

However, she felt that she had not yet fully recovered her god-level strength, which was why she was behaving this way.

Once I recover my tenth-tier strength, I should be able to completely ignore these strange feelings, right?

Upon hearing this, Castiglione smiled slightly.

"Of course I'll give him some treasures. I'm married to him now, so I should share the treasures I've accumulated with him. I have a treasure trove that I keep in the Holy See, so he can pick whatever he wants. There should even be items that are suitable for his advancement."

Although she will disappear for a period of time in the future as the Pope, she is still at the height of her power in this timeline, and her treasury naturally contains many valuable items.
