You are all my wings...

Because the sense of danger he felt from the outside world had increased, he stopped being distracted by flirting with Bai Shaqilai.

Normally, he would make a joke or two about it to try and sway her.

A 51% favorability rating already indicates a pretty good friendship, a middle stage where a little push could lead to a more serious relationship.

As an old slut... no, as an old gentleman, he had an instinctive reaction to this kind of thing, as natural as breathing.

At this moment, he was focused on observing his surroundings.

Ahead lies the site of the previous attack, a broad-leaved forest with tall trees, mainly camphor and banyan, their green canopies and broad branches overlapping in layers, stretching as far as the eye can see.

Birds chirped in the woods, and occasionally a deer would flash by.

At first glance, it seems quite normal.

But an invisible pressure inexplicably came over him, making his skin crawl and his body instinctively straighten up.

The brain in Deep Miracle Mode seems to be constantly telling itself, "Run, get out of here!"

Lyon also felt the pressure from the mental level, which was beginning to increase.

He turned his head to look at Bai Shaqilai and found that the legendary pupils were beginning to dilate, and she was almost losing consciousness.

Could it be that besides mental suppression, something else is exerting even stronger pressure on her?

Suddenly, Lyon was struck by a realization, understanding a crucial point.

"It's divine power! This is a divine relic, or rather, a divine relic from a previous life before it was opened and activated. It must be permeated with divine power! Bai Shaqilai was corrupted by the legendary poem by the demon, and the poem is connected to the soul. Therefore, not only was her spiritual power suppressed, but her soul itself was also severely disturbed by the demon!"

As for why he wasn't affected, besides his strong mental strength, it was probably because the 7 points of divine energy he had absorbed earlier had also taken effect, allowing him to temporarily ignore the intense divine power here.

However, as time went on, I was clearly also disturbed.

But where is it safe to go?

No, although magic is forbidden here, divination, as a special skill that does not require the use of magic, may not be banned.

He tried to activate his clairvoyance and employ his divination skills.

At the same time, he used his mental power to activate the Miracle Catcher skill and ascend.

Suddenly, my field of vision changed strangely, as if countless meteors were hurtling towards me at high speed, then streaking past, leaving behind a trail of dazzling starlight.

Among the countless dazzling star marks, the brightest and most dazzling starlight rushed past at high speed, and he instinctively reached out and scooped it up in front of his field of vision!

Boom!

At that moment, he felt the wonder of the combination of these two skills.

Among countless possibilities, he saw a safe zone, a place where suppression was less severe in all aspects.

They also obtained footage of the safe route.

The image resembles graffiti after being battered by wind and rain; the colors and lines gradually fade, but the general direction and distance are still discernible.

Despite lacking any information, the diviner immediately found a safe spot, proving that the combination of these two skills is a perfect match.

No, actually there was intelligence, namely that he deduced that the root of this suppression was the omnipresent yet extremely hidden divine power.

In addition, he possessed a vast amount of information from his past life, especially the fact that he had entered this place after it was conquered. This information made it easier for him to find the correct 'miracle' than others.

Having figured this out, he maintained his embrace of Bai Shaqilai and slowly backed away.

Since he left the broadleaf forest, the red line has not attacked again, which shows that although the thing is fast, it seems to be subject to some kind of restriction and will not attack at will.

So although he walked slowly, he remained relatively calm.

Bearing the growing sense of oppression in his mind, he proceeded slowly and cautiously.

15 minutes later.

He crossed the mudflats in front of the lake and reached the edge of a forest on the other side, where there were large, rough rocks.

Stepping onto it, I felt my body and mind instantly relax, and the mental pressure disappeared.

Lyon touched the rock with delight. It was smooth to the touch, like a giant goose stone. Inside, there were patterns formed by three colors: brownish-red, charcoal black, and lake green. The patterns were delicate and symmetrical, and did not seem to be formed naturally.

A light tap sent a sharp pain through his hand bones, leaving him utterly numb. Leon couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.

It would have to be an epic-grade material to be that hard.

No, it could even be used as raw material for semi-mysterious treasures.

If I can take this with me, this trip will have been worthwhile.

However, the entire base of the rock is a single piece, about half the size of a basketball court. It appears to have multiple protrusions, but in reality, they are all one piece. Lyon estimated that, let alone himself, even with the restored Bai Shaqilai, they wouldn't be able to move this boulder.

If it were a boulder made of other ordinary materials, he would naturally be able to move it with his current strength. In terms of pure strength, he is already comparable to a human at the sixth level of strength.

But this one is clearly dozens, or even hundreds, of times heavier than an ordinary stone.

A few minutes later, as the pressure disappeared, Bai Shaqilai's beautiful eyelashes, as pink as frost, trembled slowly, and then she opened her eyes.

"Meow."

She meowed unconsciously, then suddenly rolled over, instinctively clutching her chest before realizing that Leon was drawing something on the ground.

A magic circle?

"What is this?"

“I just found some materials in your pouch. I need to advance my rank. Your Excellency Bai Shaqilai, please protect me.”

"You're leveling up here? Isn't your magic still sealed by Helvie?"

"Yes, so I'll need you to activate the magic circle for me later. In this rocky area, the magic power should still be somewhat usable, even though it's suppressed, right?"

"magic?"

Bai Shaqilai then realized that she could indeed mobilize a small portion of her magic power.

I estimated it to be about one-twentieth of my total strength, which is very little, but enough for self-defense.

"It does work, so you're planning to use this upgrade to break through Helvie's magic seal?"

"I had that idea too. Essentially, her magic distorted my subconscious technique of projecting magic, making me only able to control it internally but unable to unleash its effects. However, with the help of the vast cloud of knowledge gained during advancement, perhaps I could reshape my magical knowledge and thereby regain control over my magic."

Leon answered while drawing a magic circle.

In fact, he had already found a way to slowly break the seal by using the art of divination.

But now the conditions are right, the materials are plentiful, and I have mastered two advanced spells to perfection. I can also activate the three autonomous modes at any time. This is the best time to upgrade. With the two combined, I believe I can solve the problem of my magic being sealed.

Moreover, once you successfully advance to the next rank, with the class bonus to cast perfect-level superior magic, you should be able to hold your own against a legendary character who hasn't activated their epics, right?

This gives me some confidence to deal with the various things that come next.

Given Herwiz's strength and mental fortitude, the chances of her being restricted when entering this place are very low.

Leon remembered that she had shown off her impressive physical skills and high level of power last time.

Even with Helvie's magic sealed, her power, four times the limit, is still far beyond what he can match now.

"Your Excellency, we are now in the same boat. This divine relic has even interfered with your divination skills, causing you to not anticipate the magic-suppressing situation here. This shows that the danger of this place has exceeded what a legend can handle... By the way, you must not leave this rocky area. According to my observation, the reason you are in such poor condition after falling is most likely because the demons within the poem were suppressed by divine power."

Bai Shaqilai was speechless.

He thought using the divine relics to avoid Helvie was a brilliant move, but it backfired right from the start, and he was even saved by Leon.

If you come in alone, there's a high chance you won't find this rock that can prevent the suppression of divine power.

"Did you find this place using your divination skills?"

"A stroke of luck."

A stroke of luck?

You are so humble.

Even though my soul was disturbed by the demons and I didn't awaken my spiritual power, I am still a legendary level, yet I performed so poorly here.

On the contrary, you are able to handle it so easily?

Bai Shaqilai gave a self-deprecating laugh, feeling somewhat dejected.

My legendary divination skills are not even as good as a fourth-order miracle divination. It couldn't even predict this safe point in advance. Isn't the difference too big?

She was momentarily plunged into self-doubt.

"Your Excellency, it seems you haven't grasped the true essence of miracle divination, which has led you to misuse the two divination techniques."

While drawing a magic circle, Leon inadvertently caught a glimpse of Bai Shaqilai's changing expression and knew what she was probably thinking.

"So, what is the true essence?"

Bai Shaqilai couldn't help but ask.

"Miracle divination uses methods that transcend fate to predict the future, but ultimately it still only finds fragments within the vast web of destiny. No matter how much information or intelligence you have, what's the use if it's all noise and distracting possibilities? With so many possibilities, can you find the one that's truly beneficial to you?"

Lyon casually activated his aura of trust.

Take advantage of her wavering heart and ruthlessly bewitch her!

Although the current level of affection has reached a relatively safe threshold, it is hard to guarantee that Bai Shaqilai will not harm or force herself after she is safe.

Therefore, he wanted to take advantage of this opening, press his advantage, and advance the mission!

Bai Shaqilai also fell into deep thought, and she murmured:

"Indeed, my legendary divination can bring me a lot of information, a lot of possibilities about the future, but it doesn't tell me how to choose what best meets my most urgent needs. I have to judge and interpret it myself."

Lyon smiled slightly:

"That's right. If you interpret the direction wrong, then even if you use your legendary level of information gathering ability, it will only lead you further and further astray. Therefore, you can make the right choice in most cases. However, if the object of divination far exceeds your own strength, you will make a big mistake."

"But why is it that your miraculous divination skills can easily surpass the power of your objects? Is it simply because you really, as I suggested before, have mastered a large number of future causal chains with stable and solid anchors? But how could this be related to information about divine relics?"

Bai Shaqilai was lost in confusion.

It seems that although the rock can relieve some of the pressure, she still feels a lot of pressure, which makes her thinking less sharp.

Lyon then said:

"It's simple. The future will also be a network structure. I have divined the future of many key figures, so these powerful people must have also arrived at this divine relic in the future, thus establishing sufficient connections."

As he spoke, he tossed aside the materials he had just drawn the magic circle, stood up, and walked toward Bai Shaqilai.

“My hard work, since I started this job, day and night, without stopping for a moment, has accumulated to an ever-growing scale, vast and profound, precise and unrestrained. How can your superficial divination mentality compare? I highly approve of your character, but your professional attitude is extremely poor!”

Bai Shaqilai was filled with shame.

Yes, I was going in the wrong direction, stumbling around by chance, while the other side had a clear plan from the beginning.

He was merely passively using the skills his profession had given him, yet he had truly found a direct path to his destiny in that profession. Why was he wallowing in self-pity?

Where did that strong mentality go?

"You chose this profession for revenge, which was less motivated than mine from the start. Now that you're not performing well and have the excuse of suppressed mental energy, you're starting to feel lost? Haven't you truly realized how to fully develop the wonderful potential of this extremely rare profession of astrologer, as I've told you and shown you before?"

Bai Shaqilai looked up in a daze, gazing at Lyon striding towards her.

"I……"

"You foolish catwoman! At your age, do I still need to teach you? Do you think you can pretend to be innocent just because you look young? Now that you've become a legend, you can deny that you've gone down the wrong path? Now, stand up and call me teacher!"

Lyon shouted sternly.

"Can……"

"But what? Do you mean you don't need my teaching to truly understand the Miracle Astrologer? Haven't you realized the significance of my presence in those scenes when you divined your advancement to Epic and Demigod levels? Did I really hinder your advancement? That can't be right. Shouldn't it be the other way around, with your divination telling you that you need me to truly break out of the bottleneck you created for yourself?"

Lyon was both stern and imposing.

Bai Shaqilai was speechless.

But sensing the credibility in Leon's words, and his calm and composed demeanor, he easily found the safe points that he hadn't divined, and realized that his previous interpretation of the divination results as Leon hindering his promotion was likely a misjudgment.

All of this seemed to be urging him to respond to Lyon.

Unable to contain herself, she whispered:

"Teacher...?"

"Good, good apprentice. From now on, I will teach you everything about the true path of an astrologer that can make you a god."

Lyon stood atop Basil's head, stroking her with his hand, a smile on his face:

"From today onwards, you and I are teacher and student. As a greeting, I will help you rid yourself of evil spirits after I advance in rank. Learn from me, my good disciple."
