You are all my wings...

"Light and darkness are the key elements for the birth of the Origin Goddess. Although the other five elements are also important and are known as the foundation of creation, the concentration of light and darkness that the Origin Goddess distributed to the various Epoch Spirits is not as high as that of light and darkness. It should be noted that each generation of Epoch Spirits with light and darkness are also the beings whose talents are closest to those of the Origin Goddess."

Saturnus said calmly.

"In other words, if we can obtain the bloodline of the Origin God of both light and darkness and the corresponding authority, we can find the weakness of the Origin Goddess and break through this Auster world?"

The Frost Wolf Bear's eyes lit up.

Saturnus smiled slightly: "That's right. So if our operation succeeds this time, we will be the greatest contributors to conquering the world. At that time, in addition to receiving the reward from Lord Mushia, we will also gain the merit of ascending to the status of a true god, or even an immortal true god!"

Upon hearing this, the other gods couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.

They had been lurking in the world of Auster for a long time, and although they knew to some extent that their mission was important, they never expected that it would involve the plans of such high-level powerhouses.

"Now is not only the time when the Goddess of Origin is unable to concentrate, but also the time when the Holy Land is at its weakest in three eras. Gentlemen, seize the opportunity! Once that true god arrives, we can gather more companions and launch an attack on the Holy Land!"

……

On the way back.

Leon began to try and get closer to M'shiruna.

Although Cheng Erheli is the main target this time, he can automatically activate Ion Mode for 1 hour when Mshiruna has only 1% affection left, so he might as well farm it.

With the support of fourteen modes, his efficiency in deducing the next eleventh-order Shadow-type combat technique will be much faster.

Moreover, he still had doubts about what M'shiruna had said earlier.

"Lady Mshiruna, I am very sorry about what just happened."

That's how he started.

"Apologize for what?"

M'shiluna said indifferently:

"If it's because of your rejection of me earlier, then there's no need for that. After all, you already have someone else in your heart. It was my mistake to give my heart to you."

When she said that, Castigia was a little surprised. Wasn't this girl just testing her?

Why do you look so grumpy now?

"You jest, sir. You don't really intend to propose marriage, do you?"

Lyon said.

"Ok?"

Mshiruna suddenly turned her head and looked at Leon: "What do you mean?"

"At first I thought you were trying to test me, a stranger. But seeing how serious you are, I thought you had misjudged me and were interested in someone you had only met once."

Lyon laughed:

"But looking back, you really were trying to test me. After all, you're not the kind of person who falls for someone at first sight. Although you have a refreshing and cheerful appearance, there are many secrets hidden in your eyes that you don't want anyone to know. These secrets are very deep, and you don't want anyone to know them. How could someone like you possibly have feelings for someone like me whom you've only known for a day?"

Cheng Erhe glanced at Leon in surprise, then turned his gaze to Mshiruna, only to find that the blue-haired loli elf had an expression that said it all.

'He's so perceptive! He noticed something was wrong with M'siluna so soon after meeting her? I couldn't tell at all that M'siluna was troubled.'

This was the thought that flashed through Cheng Erhe's mind. She felt somewhat ashamed that she, as the eldest sister, had not noticed Mshiruna's deep-seated worries.

'It seems I have much to learn from this anonymous gentleman.'

[Goddess Cheng Erheli's favorability +2%, current favorability 38%]

After a moment of stunned silence, Mshiruna said, "I don't have any secrets, so don't make wild guesses."

"I'm not just making wild guesses."

Lyon smiled slightly: "Actually, there's something I haven't mentioned to you all. I am a time-space miracle astrologer, and my right eye is a divine organ—the Eye of Suspended Time Penetration and Unfathomable Miracle. It can see through a god's fate at a glance, even the greatest calamity in their destiny, and know the severity of their fate!"

After the last battle, all the gods believed that he was an eleventh-level master who looked like a seventh-level master.

So Lyon used this pre-arranged lie to carry out a deeper deception.

This clearly intimidated the three women.

Of course, it didn't completely intimidate them.

Mshiruna frowned and said, "I also have a similar divine organ and know its mysteries. That's why I use my divine power to protect myself every day to avoid being seen through any important secrets. You and I are of the same level, how could you possibly see through me?"

"The wonder of my supernatural organ lies in its ability to disregard divine power and even the protection of most authorities, because I exist through you, traversing the river of time and space to overlook fate, and thus, I can subdue it all!"

Lyon laughed:

"Your protection can only prevent prying, but it can't extend to protecting against the entire river of time, can it? Unless you've already predetermined your fate and sealed off the entire river of time."

M'shiluna was speechless for a moment. After a pause, she asked suspiciously, "You majored in the Shadow element, how can you really be so familiar with the Space-Time element? You're not lying to me, are you?"

Chapter 525 The Mutated Sacred Tree

Lyon said, "Proving it isn't difficult."

As he spoke, he activated the power of the nascent cold-colored Hell Authority within his body, gathering it at his fingertips.

Immediately, the spacetime at his fingertips rapidly distorted into a strange field, emitting a mysterious faint light, dark and gloomy.

"Look what this is?"

Besides Mshiruna, Chengerheli and Kastiga seemed indifferent, but in fact they were also paying attention to Leon, and at this moment they were both staring at his fingertips.

Castigia's pupils contracted: "This is the power of authority formed from a combination of top-tier time-based mysteries? Your mastery of authority is actually this powerful?"

All three goddesses knew that the power of the Time System was exceptionally difficult to control.

In particular, to grasp the essence of the top time system, one must master at least six of its secrets.

Furthermore, even slightly more complex temporal mysteries cannot form part of this authority, as the requirements for its condensation are extremely stringent.

However, if one lacks sufficient natural talent, even accumulating time may not allow one to grasp the essence of the ultimate time system and master its mysteries.

Just like in Lyon's previous life, an ordinary person may study for a lifetime and still not be able to master the profound knowledge in mathematics, while those gifted genius mathematicians may be able to master it at a very young age, and even innovate and create new theories. They may even have a sudden enlightenment of profound truths after being hit by an apple.

Although they learn different things, their essence is the same.

As is well known, among the ten powers, the powers of time and space and concepts are the most difficult to learn, followed by the powers of information, spirituality, and miracles, while the remaining five are of similar difficulty.

Because it is the most difficult, the power of spacetime and conceptual authority is also among the top ten.

Among the several Forbidden Zone Lords, the Cold Hell Goddess and the Purgatory Goddess, who specialize in time and space, are all stronger.

Lyon nodded: "It was a coincidence, nothing to brag about."

M'shiluna was also taken aback, and said dumbfoundedly, "Alright, it seems I shouldn't have questioned you before. You do have the ability to see through some of my authority and divine protection, but these secrets themselves are not important, you don't need to worry about them too much! They have nothing to do with what we talked about before!"

Lyon laughed and said, "Don't worry, I'm not one to gossip, and I won't pry into everyone's secrets. After all, I only wanted to prove that your previous marriage proposal had ulterior motives."

Mshiruna was speechless, thinking to herself, "This guy is so serious, does he really want to sever ties and let Chengerheli know his true feelings?"

So he has a desire to reproduce?

So he shouldn't be a visitor from another world?

So he's really only interested in Cheng Erheli?

So that's how it is. Does that mean my test was somewhat successful?

But why do I feel empty and unhappy inside?

[Goddess M'shiruna's affection +2%... Spacetime distortion detected, corrected, current affection level 101%]

[The soul connection has been deepened; a deep ion mode can be activated automatically for 1 hour every 24 hours.]

Mshiruna's mind suddenly jolted, and she felt as if she had many inexplicable feelings.

She quickly realized that these feelings were directed at Leon.

Why is that?

Why am I suddenly feeling a little strange?

She was slightly startled, unsure of what had happened, but all she knew was that even a glance at Leon next door made her feel damp.

Not only are my legs wet, but my heart is wet too.

'Why am I acting so strangely?'

'Could it be that there were already some problems when I proposed to him?'

'Come to think of it, I would never normally do these things, not even to test him, would I?'

'No, I haven't fully confirmed whether he's a god or not; I must be cautious!'

Although Mshiruna thought this, she dared not look at Leon any longer and fell silent, saying nothing more.

Cheng Erheli and Kastiga both noticed M'shiluna's expression, assuming she was embarrassed because Leon had exposed her, and didn't think much of it. Instead, they began to think about how to talk to M'shiluna and cheer her up.

Leon stopped there and didn't flirt with Msiluna any further.

At the same time, he also extracted the essence of the concept that had just deceived him about having supernatural organs, and found that he had obtained about 30 copies, a considerable gain.

It should be noted that 30 copies of conceptual essence are equivalent to 300 copies of virtual and real essence. Based on his previous usage, this amount of energy can accomplish far too much.

It seems that his performance and his previous fighting prowess have deeply convinced the three goddesses, so they don't have much doubt about his lie about possessing this magical organ.

Then, during the flight, Leon casually activated fourteen modes and began to continuously deduce the combat details of the next stage of the Shadow Walker.

Although the ion mode primarily enhances his understanding of the electric and spacetime systems, it also has a general improvement effect. When combined, his comprehension ability naturally increases dramatically.

In addition, he already possesses an eleventh-tier alien god core, and has also obtained a shadow-type treasure in the Holy Land ten thousand years later, which is a perfect opportunity to comprehend the relevant mysteries.

As long as you comprehend enough of the mysteries and deduce them into combat techniques, that will be sufficient.

……

Half a day later, the four arrived at the outer perimeter of the holy land.

As Lyon flew over this place, he looked around and saw the sacred land withered trees, dried-up rivers, cracked soil, and an atmosphere of decay and filth. He was slightly startled.

Is this still the lush, pristine paradise he remembers?

Looking again at the majestic sacred tree in the center, which should have stood tall and exuded endless vitality, one could see that the sacred tree was also somewhat withered, with cracked bark and drooping branches and leaves, as if it was about to collapse.

Beside him, Cheng Erhe noticed Lyon's gaze and said, "Your Excellency, it seems you are unaware of the recent changes in the Sacred Tree?"

Lyon's eyes flickered as he performed divination, saying, "That's right, I was in seclusion practicing magic and haven't appeared in this area for quite some years. How could the Sacred Tree be like this?"

"About three months ago, an evil creature whose body had been possessed by an alien god infiltrated the outer perimeter of the sacred tree and cast a withering curse on it."

Cheng Erhe explained:

"This curse was cast by that other god who sacrificed the body of that twelfth-order evil creature. Its power is extremely strange. As a result, the Sacred Tree withered rapidly, and the power protecting the Sacred Land was greatly weakened. In addition, the original ruler of the Sacred Land, Terena, recently took the opportunity to reclaim a lot of the Sacred Land's power. Therefore, this period is the time when our Sacred Land is at its weakest."

The relationship between Terena and the three sisters of the Sacred Tree and the six fairy sisters is more complicated, involving both a protective relationship and a conflict due to the goddess of origin.

Lyon's gaze swept across more than ten kilometers, observing the withered veins on the Sacred Tree. He said thoughtfully, "So that's why Mshiruna had to leave the Sacred Land for this advancement? And the other two Sacred Tree elders, as rumored, were also unable to come to our aid because their power was affected by the withering of the Sacred Tree?"

During his observation, he was shocked to find that, apart from the branch of the sacred tree corresponding to Castiga, which still had a lot of vitality, the other branches of the sacred tree corresponding to Britta and Morlipe were obviously drier and at risk of breaking.

At the same time, he could also see that the reason why the branch of the sacred tree corresponding to Castica was still in good condition was mainly because the branches corresponding to Birelita and Morlipe were transmitting energy to Castica, preventing her from being damaged as well.

In other words, this is a temporary strategy of sacrificing two to protect one.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Erhe nodded in alarm: "That's right, that's exactly it."

Beside him, Castigia said, "Your Excellency, since you possess the [Eye of Suspended Penetration and Unerring Miracle], can you discern how to break this Curse of Withered Life?"

Lyon said, "If even three of you Saint-level experts can't solve this, I can only observe the situation and try to close the distance first."

Castigia nodded: "Then let's get closer and talk about it."

Mshiruna quickly sent a telepathic message to Kastiga: "Third Elder, although the nameless lord is now considered a very minor suspect, do you really want to take him to the vicinity of the Sacred Tree to check the situation? What if that withered life curse problem happens again?"

Kastiga replied telepathically, "I'll keep an eye on him. Don't be nervous. Based on my current assessment, he should have nothing to do with the alien gods or the abominations."

Mshiruna raised an eyebrow: "Why? He's clearly so skilled in the Shadow element, which is also the form that the Other Gods and Divine Abominations rely on."

Castigia transmitted her voice: "I don't know why, but my intuition tells me that it is credible. And as you know, my body has a fixed spacetime and a fixed destiny. Since my intuition reminds me of this, it must be highly credible."

Mshiruna pursed her lips: "But your physical body is damaged, your power is diminished, and you're cursed. Are you sure your intuition is reliable this time?"

Castigia paused, then nodded: "Indeed, that makes sense. I've always believed in my intuition, but with the situation so complicated right now, perhaps we should be more cautious."

"So what do you plan to do?"
