You are all my wings...

Elementary divination covers levels one through three, while intermediate divination covers level four, representing a qualitative leap in strength.

Therefore, the current version of his miracle divination is mainly a basic miracle divination formed by combining the large amount of miracle-capturing knowledge gained after advancement with basic divination techniques.

It is estimated that before advancing to the Miracle Astrologer profession, one will not be able to convert intermediate divination into intermediate miracle divination.

Lyon knew that the difference between the initial, intermediate, and advanced levels of miracles lay in the efficiency of capturing miracles; the higher the level, the easier it was to capture potential miracles.

But regardless of the level, as long as the divination is successful, the accuracy rate will always be infinitely close to 100%. This is the professional characteristic defined by Lyon and successfully recognized by the world.

Conversely, the lower the level of miracle divination, the lower the capture efficiency, and the more likely it is to fail to capture a miracle, resulting in a wasted divination session.

Of course, this also has its advantages, namely that it will not produce incorrect information, and as long as there is a result, it will definitely meet the divination goal.

'Information! I need information! It seems I must try to get some information out of this forest apostle.'

'Her insistence on following the rules so strictly, forcing me and Bai Shaqilai to choose between life and death, might not be without ulterior motives!'

"Let's take a gamble. In the original storyline, the royal family successfully conquered this divine relic. However, the current variables are mostly outside the relic itself. This means that the forest apostles must be subject to certain restrictions and cannot arbitrarily kill us outsiders!"

A thought flashed through his mind, and Leon asked:

"Why would Your Majesty want to turn my friend and me against each other because of this choice? With Your Majesty's power, wouldn't you be able to decide one person's life and the other's death at will? Does Your Majesty mean that, apart from mobilizing divine power, the only way to trigger other abilities is for us to actively choose between life and death?"

Upon hearing this, the Forest Apostle slightly raised his eyelids, and the divine power pressing down on Leon's shoulder suddenly slammed down like an explosion.

In an instant, his sturdy body and bones crackled and popped like popping beans, and his soul seemed to have been knocked down by something, leaving him dizzy.

At the critical moment, he activated the deep sharing mode.

This mode has a strong resistance to mental repression and can even absorb some mental information to strengthen itself.

Of course, given the immense workload, the reinforcements are merely a drop in the ocean.

Fortunately, he had abundant mental energy, and compared to the suppression of his body, he could still withstand more of the suppression of his soul.

Thanks to this, his thinking became quick and sharp.

"Your Majesty, it seems I was right. In other words, if my friend and I were momentarily intimidated by your fierce power and made a choice, one of us would surely die, or even both of us would die, wouldn't we?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Shaqilai felt a sense of relief for some reason.

She was afraid of Lyon making a choice, and she was also afraid of making a choice herself. At this moment, choosing who lives and who dies would be an enormous psychological challenge.

If she had faced this life-or-death dilemma before entering the divine ruins, she might have hesitated slightly before choosing to live and Leon to die. But now, she wouldn't think that way.

She even had a subtle thought that dying in exchange for Leon's life might be a very good choice.

It's true that it's tiring to carry so much on one's own. It's better to let this man witness the future ascension to godhood for her and help her rebuild the Cat People's Kingdom. She believes that with Leon's character, he will definitely do it after she chooses to die in his place.

After all, although he was a womanizer, he was indeed very loyal.

On the lake, the Forest Apostle listened quietly to Leon's narration. Suddenly, he tilted his head, and his long, algae-green hair, trailing on the ground, touched the mirror-like water, creating circles of ripples.

"You are very clever, human."

Her voice was still melodious and ethereal, but it clearly had a more vibrant and human touch.

If she was previously an indifferent, cold, noble shell, her gaze looking down without mercy.

Now, there was a subtle, lively feeling in his eyes, as if he had discovered something interesting. Of course, this was Leon's interpretation; the truth still needed to be explored.

"Unfortunately, even if you see through my limitations, you still cannot survive the suppression of divine power. The only difference is whether you die sooner or later."

"Your Majesty, why must we die? You've been guarding the divine ruins for so many years, don't you find it boring? With the two of us keeping you company, chatting, learning about the outside world, and knowing about the changes in the world, wouldn't that relieve your boredom?"

Although he was still being suppressed by the ever-increasing divine power, his body was becoming increasingly uncomfortable, and his vitality was plummeting, he still spoke with an elegant and composed demeanor.

Since they are the source of the elven bloodline, they must have extremely high standards for 'beauty'. If there is anything unsightly that they find offensive, they will probably be wiped out without even a chance to talk to them.

"To relieve boredom?"

On the indifferent face of the Forest Apostle, a barely perceptible smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, a smile of natural beauty.

"You are so short-lived, how could you know that I have already lived for countless years and do not care about anything boring? In my eyes, you are as small as insects... However, it would be good to know some information about the outside world. Here's what I'll do: if you can withstand my divine power for an hour, I will give you a chance to live."

As soon as she finished speaking, her slender and graceful body slowly sank back into the lake.

Although she was not there, the divine power pressing down on the two of them was still immense, like a vast ocean pouring out in a cone.

Lyon has a deep sharing model, and it can barely withstand the heavy pressure on its soul.

On the contrary, the popping sounds from the bones in the body are becoming more and more frequent, and fractures are an unavoidable problem.

While the high-resistance muscles enhanced by the Monster Muscle Resonance Technique can protect the bones, there is obviously a limit to their effectiveness.

If I can successfully escape, I really need to find a magic spell that focuses on strengthening bones next time.

He had about one or two hours left in Deep Miracle Mode, so he decided to activate Deep Purification Mode again to enter a high state and unleash the full power of the Tier 3 Monster Muscle Resonance Technique that he had practiced halfway through, strengthening his body to resist the physical pressure.

In the Triple Deep Mode, his condition soared once again. He quickly grasped the key points of the three-level frequency technique, constantly trying and stimulating the remaining magic power in his body to strengthen it.

Under the suppression of this divine power, he absorbed a large amount of divine power with each breath, transforming it into sacred energy.

Originally, his body was unable to retain divine power, but with the transformation of his physical body, he was able to barely absorb a trace of divine power.

With these two factors combined, he barely managed to keep going, and his body continued to strengthen, progressing at an astonishing speed—seventeen or eighteen times faster than usual.

It seems that the immense pressure from the divine power pushed his physical potential to its limit.

At the same time, the divine power under heavy pressure also allows one to retain more divine power within the body through divine energy, thus strengthening oneself.

Beside her, Bai Shaqilai was, after all, a legendary figure.

Her situation was the complete opposite of Leon's. She could still bear the physical pressure, but she could not resist the immense pressure on her soul. Under this terrifying divine power, she was also unable to invoke the legendary epic poems.

Therefore, she would sometimes feel dizzy and on the verge of falling, and other times she would suddenly wake up, immediately regain her balance, and barely manage to stay steady.

She was also using her own methods to alleviate the pressure of divine power and enhance the strength of her soul.

Although it doesn't allow for cheating like Leon, it can still maintain its current status.

Time passed slowly.

……

The relics of the gods lie in another abyss.

The slender figure, shrouded in a long black dress, suddenly burst through the abyss's membrane, flying out at high speed before hovering and looking back at the surrounding landscape of the abyss.

Herwiz glanced at it and frowned slightly.

The abyss is surrounded by a desolate, dry lava landscape, covered with reddish-brown boulders that still retain warmth.

The ground was littered with traces of battle between powerful warriors, long marks and tear marks everywhere.

As she finally flew away from the dark abyss, she felt an unprecedented resistance, knowing it was a spatial barrier with extremely strong obstruction.

It wasn't until she unleashed the Mind Bomb spell, bombarding the target with over thirty blows, that she managed to create a small opening and fly out.

The strength of this divine relic was somewhat beyond her expectations.

Logically speaking, after hundreds of thousands of years, even the most miraculous divine relics should have become somewhat ordinary and quiet.

Unexpectedly, throughout her journey, she faced opponents whose strength was consistently in the peak legendary range, making them quite formidable.

If it were an epic who was skilled in other forms of magic, it's doubtful they would have been able to successfully fly out of the abyss.

"Well, the important thing is to find Leon as soon as possible and return to the Sacred Mural to continue improving it."

With a thought, she accelerated and flew away from the abyss.

Lyon's location marker is getting closer and closer to her.

……

The lake boiled again, and the forest apostle, with its legs crossed, slowly rose.

A hint of surprise appeared on her usually indifferent face.

“You have passed my test.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Leon felt the heavy pressure on his body suddenly ease, and countless divine powers dissipated, leaving only a little divine power to stabilize his body.

Beside her, Bai Shaqilai also looked quite tired, but her eyes were shining, as if she had gained a lot under the pressure.

Lyon's heart skipped a beat as he noticed Bai Shaqilai's interface.

【主要屬性：精神力15/窺命力101/生命力190/魔力量312/體力192/力量231/敏捷263】

Huh, she's awakened her spiritual power?

Both life-seeing ability and magic power have increased by 2 points.

Although legends have a certain chance of awakening their spiritual power, most legends are generally difficult to awaken.

Only those at the Epic level or above have a higher chance of awakening.

It seems that the immense pressure from the divine power just now has brought out her potential.

After all, this is a rare profession, so it's reasonable for them to perform like this.

As for Leon himself, his progress in the past hour has been quite rapid. He has already mastered the third-order monster muscle resonance technique and strengthened himself under that high pressure. He has consumed a lot of the nutrients and energy he had previously accumulated, and his attributes have also seen a considerable increase.

【主要屬性：窺命力30/神聖能量容納量7/精神力67/生命力119/魔力量278/體力153/力量135/敏捷159】

Mental Strength +2, Stamina +2, Strength +4, Agility +1

Could it be that these forest apostles, seemingly murderous, are actually intentionally giving them a boost?

Otherwise, how could that divine pressure have remained at their respective limits and not crushed them further?

Given the power of this divine species, even with limitations, it should be able to accomplish this by mobilizing the omnipresent divine power within the ruins, right?

Lyon, puzzled, asked:

"Your Majesty, are you testing us? Is there something you need from us?"

The Forest Apostle maintained her indifferent expression, saying noncommittally:

"Come with me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Leon realized that the divine power suppressing him had completely disappeared.

At the same time, the forest apostle waved his hand and opened a waterless vertical passage in the lake, slowly sinking in.

Bai Shaqilai looked over:

"How so?"

"We can't escape anyway, let's follow them and see what happens. Let's not separate."

He naturally grasped Bai Shaqilai's hand and leaped into the passageway.

Bai Shaqilai was somewhat surprised when Leon grabbed her hand, and she wanted to shake him off.

But the slight warmth and coolness, the relief of surviving the ordeal, and the gratitude for Leon's cleverness in thwarting the forest apostle's trap—a mix of strange and complex feelings welled up inside her at that moment, and she couldn't bear to break free.

[Villain Bai Shaqilai's favorability +2%, current favorability 88%]

The message on the panel startled Lyon.

Speaking of which, Bai Shaqilai's favorability rating has increased dramatically. After being brought here by her teleportation magic circle, it only took half a day for it to increase so much in one go.

I wonder if she has reorganized her strategy notes?

The last time favorability ratings surged so dramatically in a short period of time was with Ophie Marceau, right?

What are you thinking about?

Bai Shaqilai leaned closer and whispered a question, her pink hair brushing against Leon's ear, tickling him.

This guy just naturally made such an intimate gesture.

In the past, her serious personality would have made her resolutely reject such a thing.

However, does this guy know that his snow-white soft flesh is pressing against him?

"Oh, it's nothing. I was just wondering how deep this lake is. I've been falling and I still haven't reached the end."

Lyon responded in a low voice, without mentioning that he had almost been flirted with by Bai Shaqilai, and glanced around.

Through the water curtain of the waterless channel, you can see the ferocious outlines of aquatic creatures swimming on both sides, as well as the emerald green aquatic plants swaying with the current, with small fish hiding on the aquatic plants.

Lyon observed for a moment and found it strange that the passage continued downwards, yet its end was nowhere in sight.

As we descended to a depth of a thousand meters, the water curtain outside the passage suddenly disappeared, and the outer layer of the passage instantly transformed into a wall of earth and stone.
