Even though he had sex more often these past few days, at least seven or eight times a day, after more than three days, he still hadn't seen any more varied expressions from Terena.

At most, there was only a little awkwardness and occasional embarrassment and anger, which she quickly suppressed and maintained a calm demeanor.

The complexity displayed just now—that faint sadness, the lingering melancholy, the subtle longing, the slight sense of relief, and the almost imperceptible shyness—was all evident.

Which of these emotions is her truest feeling?

Would she really exhibit this type of emotion simply because she is pregnant with her child?

Based on Leon's previous understanding of her, it's unlikely.

As he pondered this, Leon found himself above the Sacred Tree, surrounded by large, flowing clouds, and looking down upon the nearly withered, shriveled Sacred Tree.

It seems that Terena really did send him out.

Lyon felt a mix of relief and regret, and sighed as he prepared to leap down into the Sacred Tree's range to find Cheng Erheli and the others.

"You don't think that just because you leave today, I'll stop watching you, do you?"

A familiar voice came from above, and Lyon felt a slight tremor in his heart. He looked up.

There was a woman named Terena who had changed into a lake-green ruffled dress. The hem of the dress flowed in the wind, and her slender figure was as graceful as a willow. Her pretty and cute face looked down at her calmly.

The extremely complex expression on his face during that final, fleeting glance before he left has vanished.

Lyon was speechless, yet a strange sense of joy stirred within him.

He knew what pleased him: Terena wasn't so resolute as to simply disappear without a trace.

However, now that she has returned to normal, what was she like when she saw me off?

Did you change your original idea?

The original idea has changed?

"What were you sighing about just now?"

Terena spoke again.

"I thought I would never see Your Excellency again, so I felt very sad."

Lyon said frankly:

"I find it hard to let go of the way Your Excellency looked at the end."

Terena remained silent.

[Goddess Therina's favorability +1%, current favorability 115%]

She didn't say much, just waved her hand casually.

Boom!

As the surging divine power flowed down, Leon realized that he and Terena were instantly propelled, easily reaching dozens of times the speed of sound, and appeared at the base of the sacred tree in the blink of an eye.

Near the base of the sacred tree were four graceful figures.

All four of them looked on in surprise at the sudden appearance of Terena and Leon.

These were the four goddesses of this era: Castiglita, Serhel, Mshiruna, and Anemii.

One branch of the sacred tree, three pure elemental spirits.

Leon glanced around and noticed that the four of them were not breathing steadily and looked somewhat listless, as if they had just gone through a major battle.

Surrounding the four women were several tenth-rank elven gods, seemingly patrolling the area to prevent the invasion of other gods.

It seems quite obvious that not long after Lyon was taken away by Terena, they fought another battle against the alien gods.

Judging from the charred and frost marks left by various magic attacks of level 10 and above in the surrounding area, this battle was probably fought more than once.

This made Leon realize that perhaps Terena never wanted to see him again.

But the last thing she said before she was sent away made her decide to come along.

I just don't know if she plans to take action to solve the problem of the sacred tree withering.

"I've met Lady Terena."

Apart from Anemi, who was not yet familiar with this era, the other three women all first focused their attention on Leon, among them, Cheng Erheli's eyes flashed with a strange look.

Then the three women turned their attention to Terena and bowed to her in greeting.

Then, Cheng Erhe couldn't help but transmit his voice to Lyon, saying, "Lord Lyon, I admire you."

"Admire what?"

"To have endured Lady Trena's experiments for so many days and to have been personally escorted back by her, how can one not admire such a person?"

When Cheng Erheli said this, his expression still looked somewhat strange.

"Um, could it be that the other test subjects couldn't last that long?"

"There are others who have lasted longer, but that was during the period when Her Majesty Terena had just recovered. In recent years, only Her Majesty has been able to last that long, not to mention that she was personally brought back by her, which is unheard of."

Cheng Erhe shuddered.

"I see. Then why did you speak in such a strange tone? Did you find anything amiss?"

Lyon pressed for an answer.

Cheng Erhe hesitated for a moment, then said, "It's an aura. You should know that I am an expert in the Dao of Life, right?"

"know."

Lyon replied.

"Therefore, I vaguely sensed that there was a very strange new life force in Terena's life aura, and I believe you can guess what that means."

At this point, Cheng Erhe's expression became even stranger, and a slight blush flashed across his cheeks:

"Although it may be presumptuous, I would like to ask, what kind of experiments have you been conducting these past few days?"

She had noticed other, more subtle changes, but after a moment's hesitation, she still chose to ask the question.

I'm taking a day off tomorrow.

Good news! My mom can finally be discharged tomorrow. She seems to be doing okay so far, but the doctor said there are still some stitches left to remove, and she'll need to be observed for another half day after that. So she won't be discharged until the afternoon. That means I'll have to stay in the hospital for most of the day. Considering the exhaustion I've accumulated from taking care of her in the hospital for the past ten days (I've been squeezing in time to write these past few days), I'll take a day off. I'll update on time the day after tomorrow.

Chapter 538 The Lord of the Stars and Camille

Um, what experiments have you done these past few days?

Lyon was speechless. Was Cheng Erhe so direct?

How should I put it?

Cheng Erhe asked in alarm, "Is it inconvenient to say?"

"It's really inconvenient."

Lyon said.

Cheng Erhe was taken aback, then looked surprised: "I understand, but why did you and Terena develop that kind of relationship? Why did she allow it to happen?"

Just then, as if she had overheard her telepathic conversation with Leon, Terena glared at Cheng Erheli and said calmly:

"Cheng Erheli, when did you become such a boring person?"

Cheng Erhe blinked, then revealed a warm smile that was neither humble nor arrogant: "Your Excellency, Lyon is, after all, a guest I invited. I think it is necessary to ask him about his situation at Your Excellency's place these past few days."

Terena said, "This involves the secrets of my experiment. Do you want to spy on it?"

"Don't dare."

"Then don't interfere. You're not at the point where you need to know that much yet."

Terena's gaze shifted, finally settling on the mostly withered sacred tree, a thoughtful expression on her face.

Leon, standing to the side, felt a slight stirring in his heart. Why did Terena say that it was not yet time to understand Cheng Erheli?

After a while, Terena spoke up: "I didn't want to help you solve the problem of the Sacred Tree, but I've changed my mind. Please step back and wait for me to cast a spell."

As soon as she finished speaking, a dense divine light overflowed from Terena's body, forming a halo of light like honey, which spread in all directions.

Before the five could react, they realized that the place where the divine light had pierced through them suddenly felt light.

When Leon came to his senses, he realized that he and the others had been teleported by Terena to a point more than ten kilometers away in the air outside the Sacred Tree.

At the same time, he saw the intense divine light touch the sacred tree, instantly surging with a large amount of rainbow-colored, strange divine light.

"It is the power of civilization!"

Suddenly, M'shiluna spoke up: "Lady Therena is mobilizing the power of civilization within the Holy Land to forcibly remove the curse left on the Holy Tree!"

Kastiga, feeling her physical condition improving, nodded and said, "Indeed, I can feel it; my body is rapidly recovering!"

"But didn't Her Majesty Terena say before that she didn't want to help us? Why has she suddenly changed her mind today?"

Mshiruna frowned.

Meanwhile, Cheng Erheli looked at Leon and thought to himself, "Terena's attitude was very firm before, but this time she is willing to help. It is obvious that some of Leon's actions have changed Terena's mind."

However, based on what she had just learned, Cheng Erhe felt even more confused.

In just four or five days, what exactly did His Excellency Lyon do to both get Terena pregnant and change her firm mind?

Logically speaking, once the Sacred Tree can no longer hold out and the Sacred Land is breached, the Origin Goddess, who is currently unable to appear, will inevitably see her control over the Sacred Land continue to decline.

This is what benefits Terena, because it allows her to regain more control of the restricted area!

So why?

Could it be that she was captivated by His Excellency Lyon's charm?

No, no, it shouldn't be that bad. With Terena's personality, she wouldn't care about anyone's charm at all.

Something else must have happened.

"Your Excellency Lyon, do you have any ideas?"

Cheng Erhe couldn't help but ask aloud, but this time she didn't choose to use telepathy.

“I don’t know what Terena is thinking, but all I know right now is that something even more troublesome is waiting for you.”

Lyon turned his head, his gaze shifting to the east beyond the sacred tree.

Before him, Castiglione, the twelfth-ranked, had noticed that direction earlier than Lyon and was gazing intently into the distance.

At the edge of the sky, about several thousand kilometers away, a graceful and tall figure stood in mid-air, gazing into the distance.

Her graceful figure, simply standing there, exuded an overwhelming aura that seemed to swallow mountains and rivers. Wherever her gaze fell, the world changed color, and the wind and clouds swirled wildly.

What's most amazing is that if you don't realize there's a powerful person there beforehand, you won't be able to find her at all if you're just scanning with god-level eyesight.

But at this moment, reminded by Leon, Cheng Erheli, Mshiruna, and Anemii, who were at the eleventh and tenth ranks respectively (not yet reaching their future strength), finally realized the existence of an enemy and then saw the graceful figure in the distance.

"She is... Camille, the legitimate daughter of the Star Lord! She has actually advanced to the thirteenth rank!"

Cheng Erhe frowned and said.

How did you find out about her?

Mshiruna glanced at Leon next door in surprise. Although she had only just recovered her eleventh-level strength and her mental power was insufficient, her foundation was still at the peak of the twelfth level, which was stronger than a normal eleventh-level peak. How could she have noticed the abnormality later than this silver-haired boy?

[Goddess M'shiruna's affection level increased by 1%, current affection level 102%]

Leon shrugged and said, "Keep your eyes open and your ears open."

Mshiruna: "...You don't have to be so perfunctory, do you?"

Leon naturally didn't answer M'shiruna, because the answer was too outrageous.

His mental strength surged due to Terena's experiment, increasing by a terrifying three hundred points in four or five days!

Almost all of the growth is due to the absorption of those mysterious texts.

In the first few hours of absorption, he had already increased by over a hundred points. Although the growth slowed down slightly afterward, the accumulation of quantity still made it quite good.
