You are all my wings!

As for the other insurance method, it is related to the two forbidden zones of Cold Hell and Purgatory.

Upon hearing this, the past version of Orpheus narrowed his eyes and stared for a moment, the divine light in his eyes slowly fading: "Fine, since you dare to make this oath, I will believe you a little more, but the key issue right now is not this."

Lyon had already guessed what she was going to say, so he said, "The time when I met Terena was not now, but more than six million years ago. So after I developed her potential talents, she definitely had enough time to study and even break through that level."

"Oh? You're also a reincarnated person?"

The previous version of Orpheus raised an eyebrow slightly, not paying much attention to Terena's affairs, and instead said:

"No, as far as I can tell, you only have one lifetime. Although your soul is somewhat strange and doesn't seem to originate from this world, most of your soul has been assimilated into this world... Hmm, your origin is quite interesting. Someone actually pulled you into the past."

Leon's heart stirred slightly. The soul she was referring to did not originate from this world. Could it be related to his awakened memories of his past life?

Unexpectedly, Ophimosa at his peak was able to see through the essence of his own soul.

Isn't she majoring in information authority?

"What, you don't trust my judgment?"

The previous version of Orpheus smiled slightly: "Among the ten strongest powers, spacetime and concepts are the strongest, followed by information and spirituality. My power of information, in addition to its strength, is even more profound in its breadth and its closeness to the laws. Because everything, including spacetime, can be interpreted in terms of its essence through information, even if my power of spirituality is not particularly good, it is still enough to see many of your past in the information flow you just leaked."

She seemed quite proud of it in her words.

Lyon changed the subject, saying, "I admire your skill, but if you just used your authority and supernatural organs to observe me, you should know that what I told you about Terena was true. You should also know the oath I just made; the love I have for your alternate personality is not false."

"It seems your spirituality is indeed quite good. This so-called love doesn't seem fake either. It seems to have a bit of 'unbreakable bond,' which is very precious."

The smile on Orpheus's lips slowly faded, and he said softly:

"But if what you've said, whether it's spirituality or love, doesn't work for me, then all your flowery words are useless and won't change my determination to cleanse my alter ego."

Lyon's mind went blank for a moment; it seemed she wouldn't act until she saw the benefit.

She wouldn't change her mind until she actually witnessed what potential development looked like.

Of course, it's not that she couldn't access the memories of the modern-day Orpheus, but rather that she clearly believed part of Leon's story. She just wanted to take advantage of the situation and reap some benefits like talent enhancement. The evidence was that Leon had just quietly extracted the essence of concept, gaining five units of benefit—not too many, but not too few either. It was a figure that she believed to some extent, but still had many doubts about.

"Your Mightiness……"

Just as Lyon was about to say something more.

"Let's leave it at that. Since you don't have any other good ideas, it's better not to hinder my revival here. Considering your unwavering love for my alternate personality, I've already given you enough chances, but unfortunately, you haven't been able to convince me."

As the previous version of Orpheus spoke, he gently waved his hand, and the power of his authority immediately emanated, landing on Leon as if to teleport him away.

It must be said that the previous version of Orpheus was indeed more rational, a trait he shared with several other penalty area masters that Lyon had seen.

However, this is a serious problem for Lyon.

'I can't let her send me away like this.'

'Not to mention that my soul is also constantly being suppressed by a massive outpouring of information.'

'Once I leave, the Orpheus I know will probably never appear before my eyes again!'

'We need to think of another way!'

'Her rationality is so high that ordinary arguments won't sway her at all... Thinking about it further, the lords of forbidden zones all have their own extreme personalities. In my experience, if reasoning doesn't work, exploiting their personality instincts is the best approach, especially those uncontrollable personality flaws. If I can find them, with my experience as a seasoned con artist, I'm sure I can handle it.'

So, what exactly were the personality flaws of this past version of Orpheus?

At this moment, Lyon's mind was fully activated, utilizing the effects of the fifteen modes to capture all memories and inspirations from the past and future.

There is no doubt that the Lords of the Forbidden Zones generally have personality flaws. As the strongest group of nature gods, influenced by the Forbidden Zones of Creation, the Lords of the Forbidden Zones will have very special obsessions or even fanaticisms in certain situations.

For example, Therena is an absolute intellectualist, Styx is an absolute utilitarian, and Orahande is an absolute egocentric...

However, these are just generalizations. We need to find more crucial leverage points to guide the situation and change the other party's mind through rhetoric and performance.

So, based on the clues we've just come across, what are the similarities and differences between this past version of Orpheus and the modern version?

Suddenly, a question popped into Lyon's mind.

Or rather, it's a question that Leon has about the past version of Orpheus: her attitude towards the alternate personality.

Logically, the dominant personality should have complete control over the sub-personality, so the modern version of Orpheus should have a similar thought process to the past version.

But the reality is quite the opposite; the two exhibit many differences.

Even for her primary personality to erode the secondary personality, it actually takes a lot of effort, and she has to wait for the modern version to trigger the enlightenment of becoming a god and for her personality to gradually recover before she can complete this process.

Was this past version of Orpheus forced to do it, or was it a coincidence?

No, judging from her actions just now, it doesn't seem like a coincidence; it seems more like she had no other choice.

The fact that she had to put so much effort into it, and that she even used the word 'wash' several times to explain her actions against the alternate personality, shows that the alternate personality was definitely an alien entity to her at the moment.

At least, people like Tikos and the Origin Goddess clone that Leon had met didn't have to worry about dealing with the issue of the autonomy of their alternate personalities.

Since she had the ability to refine the Infinite Sea into her soul before her reincarnation, she shouldn't have handled this matter so carelessly.

Is it possible that the past version of Orpheus was so powerful that he refined the forbidden zone into his soul, which led to the alienation and uncontrollability of his alternate personality?

After all, none of the several forbidden zone masters he had met had their respective forbidden zones located in a certain spacetime interlayer, unlike the past version of Orpheus who had an internally embedded soul.

Even when Leon had just traveled back to the Eden Era more than six million years ago, he appeared in the Infinite Sea and witnessed the three extreme points of the Infinite Sea, which was completely different from his current state of being a stream of information within his soul.

With this line of thought in mind, Lyon already had some ideas.

Since she had no choice but to do it, I could simply forcefully inject more conceptual essence to make the modern version of Orpheus more heterogeneous and stable. In the long run, she would have no choice but to accept the existence of the alternate personality, right?

However, just as he was about to open his mouth to divert attention from the past version of Orpheus and immerse himself in the essence of the concept, he suddenly found himself stunned. His intuition, stemming from his special profession as a time-space miracle astrologer, warned him as if he had been electrocuted.

You can't do that!

Then, a sudden inspiration struck him, and he checked the task panel. To his astonishment, he discovered that the progress of the "Two-Faced Princess" task had suddenly been reset, showing a progress reversal message!

[Ophimosa's Hidden Main Quest "The Two-Faced Princess" -2% completion, current completion 74%]

This was the first time he had encountered a situation where the task progress would regress since he opened the panel!

Could it be that what I was about to do not only cannot be done, but will also lead to some terrifying consequences beyond the task itself, causing the task progress to regress?

The task progress could be reversed with just a thought?

Or is it that the event of being sent away by the past version of Orpheus is the reason for the regression in progress?

Regardless of the reason, the setback in the mission's progress is actually a key clue.

Lyon quickly performed the divination while simultaneously ruling out other possibilities.

In the blink of an eye, he had been pushed by the past version of Orpheus to the boundary between his soul and the outside world, and was about to leave completely.

Just then, with the help of the fifteen modes, Lyon finally figured out some of the doubts.

Then, he suddenly spoke:

"Sir, are you aware that spirituality is the key to reaching the fifteenth level? If you wash away your secondary personality, it means you will also wash away the last chance for spirituality to be born within you?"

This was his last gamble.

Never before had he uttered such uncertain words; the personality and way of thinking of the past Orpheus remained a mystery to him.

But this was the best solution he could deduce by combining all the doubts he had just encountered.

As soon as he finished speaking, the driving force originating from the past version of Orpheus suddenly stopped.

Lyon was stopped at this point where his soul was separated from the outside world.

Chapter 576 Changes in Attitude

Is spirituality the key?

The voice of the old version of Orpheus came through.

Although we haven't figured out her personality flaws yet, we've at least grasped a key point that could change her attitude.

Lyon, without changing his expression, said, "Yes, spiritual sublimation is the key to breaking down boundaries."

After a moment of silence, the past version of Orpheus said, "Did Terena tell you this?"

"Yes."

Lyon nodded: "Six million years ago, I heard her mention it briefly. She said, 'Besides completing the life code, a perfect life also requires the soul to be elevated to a perfect level, and spiritual sublimation is the key path.' She did indeed say this to me six million years ago."

Because the communication records spanning six million years are difficult to verify, he told this lie very boldly, without the slightest hesitation.

Upon hearing this, the past version of Orpheus fell into deep thought, then said, "What else did she say? For example, to what extent must one's spirituality be elevated to break through that barrier?"

Lyon said, "There are many aspects involved, but at least one thing is certain: the stronger one's innate soul foundation, the harder it is to achieve spiritual sublimation. On the contrary, the weaker the being, the more intense their emotions, the greater their chance of achieving spiritual sublimation. Of course, if one is too weak and lacks soul perception, it will be difficult to trigger spiritual sublimation."

Immediately, he casually mentioned a lot of spiritual knowledge that only he knew, which corroborated the above point.

Although he fabricated many things, his understanding of spirituality was something he accumulated through his career as a con artist.

This unique enlightenment, derived from his profession, is something only he can obtain. Each time, he can enhance the breadth and depth of different knowledge through various modes. Therefore, in terms of spiritual accumulation and attainment, Leon believes that he is truly no less than most eleventh or twelfth-order gods who specialize in spirituality.

"anything else?"

Previous version of Orpheus's Question.

Lyon said, "Furthermore, abundant emotions are important, but grasping the part of those emotions that resonates with the laws of the world is even more fundamental."

His con artist skills allowed him to extract conceptual essences very early on, enabling him to defraud spirituality, information, life, concepts, and matter. His skills have a wide range of applications and are extremely effective. Although he is currently only at the eighth level, the world's blessings he has received are in no way weaker than those at the eleventh or twelfth level.

He even received the blessing of poems from the Styx God's Might, the Death God's Might, and the Sacred Tree God's Might when he advanced to the next level, gaining a large amount of overflowing blessings.

Therefore, his deception of the spiritual knowledge of the past Orpheus was not unfounded, but rather had a profound theoretical basis.

After exchanging a few more words with the past version of Orpheus, she beckoned, and with a flick of her power, pulled Leon back to her side:

"I understand what you're saying, but what I want to ask is, did Terena tell you how to solve the problem of spiritual sublimation for the strong?"

When Lyon heard her say this, he knew that she had already believed a lot about him.

Extracting the essence of the concept again now yields even greater returns, earning a direct profit of 15 points!

At this point, his own conceptual essence reserves were brought back to over one hundred.

"She mentioned some."

Lyon said, "Actually, although your alternate personality was born due to some accident and is somewhat uncontrollable, it has accumulated from scratch and experienced the complete development and management process of a country. It has also developed a love that would never normally occur. Therefore, it is actually more likely to undergo spiritual sublimation than you."

He deliberately paused midway through his speech, intentionally presenting his own guess as Therina's statement.

Although it's not right to make Terena take the blame for me, there's no other way now. I can only try to reduce my relationship with Terena through my words to avoid problems when we settle accounts later.

The past version of Orpheus reached out and touched Leon's chest, saying thoughtfully, "Interesting. You want me to continue letting this alternate personality nurture its spirituality, waiting for it to grow to its limit?"

Lyon nodded.

"If that's the reason, then I might as well not use a drug to wash away this personality."

The former version of Orpheus's hand suddenly began to roam over Leon's body, her fair cheek close to Leon's, her eyes meeting Leon's eyes almost directly.

"However, if one day it turns out that this doesn't work, you know what the consequences will be, right?"

Feeling the strange, vibrant touch emanating from the other person, Leon calmly said, "Rest assured, Your Excellency, I will take care of continuing to cultivate the spirituality of Your Alternate Personality, making it strong enough for Your Excellency to break through to the fifteenth level."

"Very good, you should have said so a long time ago."

The previous version of Orpheus smiled faintly, then took a deep breath towards Leon:

"I must say, even though it's just a communication of souls, you do give off an aura that makes me feel a little attached. It seems that even I am slightly affected by this personality."

Lyon feigned a slight frown.

"What, are you surprised?"

The previous version of Orpheus raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, I thought your attitude towards me was at most that of a stranger, or even a sense of rejection. After all, before you were revived, I had developed a lot of affection for your alternate personality, which is something that a strong person like you would find hard to accept."

Lyon looked up and met her gaze.

Now that things have come to this, and considering his previous thoughts, he can more or less sense the true nature of the past version of Orpheus.

If I had to summarize it, I might use "absolutely domineering" to describe it.

He lacked reference evidence, and given that Orpheus's attitude had always changed in the past, he couldn't grasp the situation accurately for the time being.

But it wasn't until he captured Orpheus's state when her second personality was activated in the past through the power of Mind Mode, and the unpleasant attitude of Terena when he first mentioned his relationship with her, that he finally understood that the past version of Orpheus was such an 'absolutely domineering' person.

Not long after she met Ophie, she was forced into marriage because she saw her naked body. Because she refused, and after seeing Britta, she activated her second personality for the first time. With the power of a fifth-level person at the time, she unleashed the strength of a peak seventh-level person, and wiped out the entire 42nd floor of the dungeon in one go, and almost killed Britta.
