You are all my wings!

The surrounding light and visibility decreased visibly, and suddenly it felt like the end of the world, with darkness enveloping everything.

M'shiruna barely managed to gather the remaining magic power within her body, dispelling the oppressive force of the True God's Tribulation, and glared at Leon:

"Boy, why? You made such a hasty decision. Aren't you afraid of killing Astalia? Aren't you afraid that if 'she' obtains the positions of Lord of the Spirit Abyss and Lord of the Disaster Domain, she will become even more powerful, and we will have no chance to counterattack? Even if your Astalia has a one in ten chance of successfully advancing, she still won't be able to stop 'her.' When the end of the era comes, she will still not escape the fate of having the Origin Law withdrawn!"

Lyon said, "What you said makes a lot of sense, but Cheng Erheli has already launched its attack ahead of schedule. It's pointless to keep it hidden now. It's better to become as strong as possible within the next eight years."

"Then can you guarantee that Astalia will successfully advance?"

Mshiruna said coldly:

"Boy, although I did intend to trick you, it was essentially beneficial to our common goal. If you cause Astalia's death because of your arrogance, I will not forgive you!"

Lyon was somewhat surprised: "Your previous appearance suggested that you had already broken ties with Astalia?"

“We just have a temporary disagreement! And even if there is a rift between us, she is still my sister, the child I raised and watched grow up. I admit that I had no choice but to plot against you, but no matter what, I will ultimately ensure your safety. If you put her in such danger just to spite me, I will kill you first!”

Despite being sealed away, M'shiruna's loli-like body was suddenly aroused by intense emotions, sparking a large amount of electricity that crackled and flickered around her body, as if she had regained some of her power.

Although her fierce protectiveness made her seem more respectful to Leon, it actually made him think more highly of her.

At least she wasn't the kind of person who would stop at nothing to achieve her goals and be willing to sacrifice her sisters.

If she's willing to sacrifice Astalia to achieve her goals, then Leon will only despise her.

"You've really impressed me. If you had this attitude from the beginning, I wouldn't have targeted you. And don't flatter yourself, I have no reason to hold a grudge against you."

Lyon said:

"Don't worry, I will do my best to help her get through this. As for the God of Chengerheli, I have already divined that only when Astalia advances can we possibly intervene in her battlefield. Even if we go to help now, it will be of no use. So we might as well focus on investing all our resources and magic into helping Astalia succeed."

When Mshiruna heard "wishful thinking," her lips twitched, and she wanted to retort.

But upon hearing the next sentence, she couldn't help but frown: "Are you serious?"

"Of course, Astalia is now my rightful wife."

Lyon said, "I may have done many dissolute things in my life, but as long as they are my true wives, I will treat them with all my heart and never let them suffer in the slightest."

[Goddess M'shiruna's affection level +2%, current affection level 20%]

"Even if you are exceptionally talented and have mastered a bunch of strange and unusual magic, you are still just a mortal. How could you possibly interfere with the tribulation of advancing to the thirteenth rank?"

Although it was a rhetorical question, M'shiruna's voice wasn't as cold anymore, and her attitude softened slightly.

"So if you have any remaining essence of time and space, give it to me."

Lyon said:

"If I help her alone, the chances of success will only increase by 20% or 30%, but if you are willing to provide Astalia with the resources you have accumulated, her chances of success will at least double."

Mshiruna: "The essence of time and space is really gone; it has been completely swept away by Chengerheli!"

"It seems that your anger over Astalia just now was just an act. At this crucial moment, you're still holding back."

Lyon said calmly.

Mshiruna's lips twitched. How did this kid figure out that she still had some left?

Surely it can't really be that "deductive reasoning technique for false truths"?

She had come to believe that Leon possessed the talent to create all sorts of magic, but she still had doubts about whether this magic could actually detect lies at the level of authority.

"Fine, fine, I guess I'm just unlucky. I didn't manage to do anything good, and now you're treating me like this. Remember, this is the power I lent you to use on Astalia. If it doesn't work, don't blame me for making trouble for you after I recover!"

M'shiruna flicked her wrist, using the little power she had just regained to retrieve another portion of the stored spacetime essence and toss it to Leon.

Lyon took them. In his hand were eighteen Essences of Time and Space, each about the size of a fingernail, like glistening water droplets, with an infinitely smooth surface and seemingly endless spirals inside, arranged in a strange pattern according to certain rules, echoing the surrounding time and space, extremely mysterious.

After arriving in the Eden Era, he also learned from the daily chatter of several goddesses what the various essences were and what their functions were.

For example, his essence of reality and illusion can be elevated to the next level and become the essence of concepts.

Essentially, it is a wondrous object born from one of the ten strongest powers, the conceptual power. It is one of the world's original essences, and its core function is to solidify illusory concepts and achieve reality. If it is an essence of illusion and reality, the effect is much weaker, but the essence of the function is still similar.

Alternatively, one can cleverly use a combination of secret techniques to cultivate it, but the quantity is not as large as that cultivated by the Ten Powerful Authority.

Lyon's ability to master the skill of extracting the essence of illusion and reality so early on is naturally the reason why his con artist profession has monopolized the track.

The same principle applies to the Essence of Time and Space, which originates from the Ten Powerful Authority. Its core function is to solidify the illusory space-time and achieve reality.

The remaining ten are spiritual essence, material essence, divine essence, calamity essence, information essence, miracle essence, civilization essence, and life and death essence, each corresponding to a different ten powers.

"Now that you've obtained the Essence of Time and Space, how do you plan to help Astalia?"

Mshiruna frowned and asked.

"Simply put, it uses the [Truth Spacetime Anchoring Technique], combined with your Spacetime Essence, to strengthen her divine body and make it match her twelfth-order godhood."

As Leon spoke, he simultaneously transmitted his voice to Astalia, instructing her to cooperate with him.

She agreed without hesitation.

Immediately, Leon began to activate the [Truth Spacetime Anchoring Technique].

The main function of this magic is to anchor time-space nodes, making them more stable and reliable fulcrums in the river of time. Therefore, under normal circumstances, it is impossible to achieve the enhancement effect he mentioned.

However, with the addition of the Essence of Time and Space, along with skills such as Life Deception and Time-Space Divination, the possibilities for gameplay become much greater.

First, using Astalia's TY and her current divine status as anchor points, he quickly used the [Space-Time Miracle Divination Technique] to find out at which stage she would reach the peak of the twelfth rank in the future.

This TY was something he obtained incidentally when he broke the seal on her life. It originated from deep within her body. Using this as the core clue, it was easy to pinpoint when Astalia would advance to the twelfth rank in the future.

That was 1,300 years later, at the beginning of the Flood Era.

Looking down into time and space, countless images flowed before his eyes.

Astalia had already begun quietly laying the groundwork for the Church of Justice and Righteousness at the end of this era, which was the precursor to the Church of Astalia.

She had already developed a complete plan before she became a god.

According to the original timeline, she would have taken on the chaotic elements for a period of time during the end of the era, then faked her death and perished, reviving with the help of the sect's legacy, and then quickly rebuilding and spreading her doctrines rapidly during the chaotic period of the new era.

At that time, the new type of intelligent species in the Flood Era also emerged, with a large number of species that possessed intelligence but lacked power being born. She took advantage of this opportunity and made incredible progress.

It only took him a hundred years to rebuild to the tenth rank, three hundred years to recover to the peak of the eleventh rank, and with the remaining nine hundred years, he took advantage of the uniqueness of the sect's track to rapidly advance to the twelfth rank.

After that, she only spent a thousand years to reach the peak of the twelfth level, and then got stuck at that hurdle. Until she perished in the middle of the Flood Era, she used up another chance to revive. After that, she never broke through, but her accumulation of knowledge and experience did become more and more profound.

During this period, races with naturally weaker physiques, such as humans, halflings, and most orcs, were born one after another and continued to evolve from hybrids of divine species.

After witnessing Astalia reach the peak of the twelfth-tier divine body in the future, Leon used the current ty of Astalia's divine body as a starting point and employed the [Space-Time Miracle Divination Technique] to obtain the specific life code changes at the moment of her future transformation.

Then, her future life code changes can be implemented into Astalia's body at this moment through life fraud, and then the essence of illusion and reality can be injected to stabilize the changes and complete the first wave of enhancement.

Because her divine body is very strong, she can quickly return to her original state by relying solely on life deception, but the essence of illusion and reality can sustain the effect of her deception.

Then, by combining the essence of time and space to draw over the authority and power of her future time and space, and at the same time deceiving her into believing that she already possesses the authority of the twelfth rank in this era, and solidifying the deception with the essence of time and space and the remaining essence of illusion and reality, Astalia will be able to obtain the true peak twelfth rank power.

Every step of this process requires meticulous attention to detail, and it would be absolutely impossible to complete without the enhanced [Space-Time Miracle Divination Technique] and the cooperation of Astalia herself.

After this series of operations, more than ten minutes passed. Just as Leon cleared out the two essences and barely completed the enhancement of Astalia, her divinity reached the peak of her transformation and began to reveal the aura of a thirteenth-level true god.

Crackling sounds!!!

A massive bolt of lightning, over thirty meters thick, struck out of nowhere and landed on Astalia.

BOOM!!!

A flame of civilization emerged from her body, engulfing the lightning.

At the same time, she opened her bright eyes and pushed him away.

Leon and M'shiruna responded by flashing away to a distance of seven or eight kilometers. At the same time, a divine shield appeared around their bodies, pushing away the primordial energy that was constantly gathering due to the tribulation of the true god.

Beside her, M'shiruna turned her head to look at Leon, her agate eyes no longer able to conceal her astonishment:

"How did you do that? In just over ten minutes, you managed to raise her divine body and authority to the peak of the twelfth rank?"

Although the price was her eighteen pieces of spacetime essence, the cost was already considerable.

But considering the results so far, she still found it somewhat unbelievable:

"Your [Truth Spacetime Anchoring Technique] alone shouldn't be enough to do that, right?"

“Indeed, I also made use of the [Illusory Truth Deduction Technique]. With this magic, I was able to extract Astalia’s peak power from the future and condense it into her at this moment. Of course, without your spacetime essence, my magic strength would not be enough to affect a twelfth-order saint. So you should thank yourself for having the habit of extracting spacetime essence at any time.”

Lyon said casually.

At this moment, Astalia's tribulation as a true god had begun. A torrential downpour of lightning, twisted like snakes, fell upon her, covering her. At the same time, the primordial energy gathered, and even the two people seven or eight kilometers away seemed to be shaken by this lightning that had nurtured a great deal of divine power, making it difficult for them to even stand.

The little girl Mshiruna had no choice but to grab Leon's shoulder and say, "Although I don't want to believe it, the facts are right in front of me. It seems I shouldn't have underestimated you before."

[Goddess M'shiruna's affection level +2%, current affection level 22%]

Lyon's heart stirred slightly, and he casually extracted the essence of illusion and reality.

To help Astalia, he had wiped out all his previous savings.

Now that it's been extracted again, M'shiluna's contribution was actually quite good, restoring 20 units of Illusory Essence to his health in one go. It can only be said that she is worthy of being a peak 12th tier cultivator.

Although the essence of illusion and reality is not as good as the essence of concept for the time being, it is still a top-notch product. He has overcome countless difficulties with it.

"If this was your attitude from the beginning, I would have lifted your life seal long ago. As for now, after Astalia successfully advances, I will lift your life seal in consideration of your contribution of spacetime essence."

Lyon then said.

"Hmph, what I said just now wasn't a request for you to lift the seal."

Mshiruna narrowed her eyes slightly and said calmly:

"I just don't want you to misunderstand me as a stubborn person. In order to resist 'her,' I won't stubbornly oppose you. When cooperation is needed, I won't be fixated on those petty grudges."

Leon glanced at her with surprise: "You're quite agile. In that case, while Astalia is undergoing her tribulation, tell me more useful information."

Although he was talking to M'shiruna, he kept his eyes fixed on Astalia to prevent any accidents.

Simultaneously enable sharing mode to speed up recovery.

After his recent actions, not only were his illusory essence and spacetime essence depleted, but his spiritual power, magic power, and even divine energy were also emptied, requiring him to recover as soon as possible.

Fortunately, he had thirteen different modes activated during this spacetime manipulation, which resulted in a wealth of spacetime knowledge and experience being ruminated upon.

After completing this incredible feat, he quickly grasped the essence of the second secret of the ninth-tier ice magic, Frosty Moon Flowing Light, by analogy with it, and comprehended two or three tenths of its meaning.

This mystery is very interesting. The key is a special mythological concept, which is based on a mythological legend related to the Time Prison in the early Creation Era, and is related to the extraterrestrial celestial body [the Moon of the Cold].

The legend is somewhat similar to the legend of Leon's past life, such as the "Rotten Boat Romance" or the "Dream of the Yellow Millet," and its core function is to "guide and manipulate the flow of spiritual time and connect different times through the spirit."

This is what he just did: linking Astalia's two time periods so that the twelfth-order authority she will condense in the future can also be used in this era, thus enabling her to draw inferences from one instance to another.

"In exchange, you give me intelligence about the future, and I'll give you intelligence about the past."

"Mshiluna said."

"Okay, how about this, you say one, and I'll say one."

Lyon said:

"I want to know which of the pure elemental spirits from the last era, besides you, have survived to this day?"

Mshiluna shook her head: "No one survived except me, and I survived because they placed all their hopes on me."

Did pure elemental spirits exist during the primordial era? What was their situation?

“It should have been my turn to ask, but for Astalia’s sake, I can give you this information for free. There were also pure elemental spirits in the Genesis Era, but without exception, none of them survived the end of the Genesis Era.”

Lyon's heart skipped a beat.

It seems that the earlier the time, the stronger the control the Origin Goddess has.

On the contrary, during the Flood Era, apart from Astalia who was completely unharmed and whose strength increased by leaps and bounds, the other pure elemental spirits, although in a difficult situation, were still able to survive to some extent, at most suffering from amnesia or only recovering a small amount of strength.

Mshiluna said, "It's my turn to ask. Since you come from the future, it means that this apocalypse did not completely destroy the world. So, what is the situation of us sisters in the future?"

Lyon said, "Are you sure you want me to say this in this setting? Aren't you afraid that the Origin Mark on my chest will expose some of your future plans?"

"Planning?"

Mshiluna's heart trembled slightly: "Then tell me, was my plan a success or a failure?"

"It's hard to say. Do you know why I knew you were good at lying from the start? And why I wasn't very polite to you?"

Leon smiled and said, "It's because I was also deceived by you in the future. Although I discovered many of your lies, after coming to this era, I found that it was still possible that I was deceived by you in one or two things back then."

Mshiruna said speechlessly, "So you're saying that I'm good at lying, so you're still unsure whether my future plans will succeed or fail?"

"Yes, who knows what other tricks you have up your sleeve."
