You are all my wings...

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

Upon hearing this, the former version of Orpheus narrowed his eyes and stared for a moment, the light in his eyes slowly fading: "Fine, since you dare to make this vow, I'll 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 Therena was not now, but more than six million years ago. So after I developed her potential, she definitely had enough time to study and even break through that level."

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

In the past, Orpheus raised an eyebrow, paying little attention to Terena's affairs, and instead said:

“No, as far as I can see, 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, at the peak of her life, Ophimaso was able to see through the very essence of her own soul.

Wasn't she majoring in information authority?

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

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

She seemed quite proud of it.

Lyon changed the subject, saying, "Your Excellency's skill is admirable, but if you used your authority and supernatural organs to observe me just now, you should know that what I mentioned about Terena to you was true. You should also know the oath I just made; my love 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 a 'love stronger than gold' quality, which is very precious."

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

"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 it won't change my determination to cleanse my alter ego."

Lyon's mind raced slightly; it seemed she wouldn't act unless she saw a clear advantage.

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

Of course, it's not that she couldn't examine the memories of the modern-day Orpheus, but rather that she clearly believed part of Leon's story. She just wanted to capitalize on this and extract some benefits of the Endowment and Sublimation. The evidence was that Leon had just quietly extracted the Concept Essence, gaining 5 units of benefit—not too many, but not too few either. This was a value that she believed somewhat, but still had many questions about.

“Your Excellency…”

Just as Leon was about to say something more...

"That's enough. Since you don't have anything else to say, 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 waved his hand lightly, 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 similar to that of the other Lords of the Forbidden Zone that Leon had met.

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 being continuously overwhelmed and suppressed by a massive influx of information.'

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

We must think of another way!

'Her rationality is so high that ordinary words can't sway her at all... Thinking about it, the Lords of the 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, Leon'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, Terena is an absolute intellectual, Styx is an absolute utilitarian, and Aurahande is an absolute egocentric...

However, these are just generalizations. We need to find more crucial leverage points to take advantage of 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 the past and present versions of Orpheus?

Suddenly, a question popped into Lyon's mind.

Or rather, it was a question that Leon had about this past version of Orpheus: her attitude towards the alternate personality.

Logically, the primary personality should have complete control over the secondary personality, so the modern version of Orpheus's thought process should be similar to that of the past versions.

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 be enlightened 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, but rather something she had no choice but to do.

It required so much effort; she even used the word 'wash' several times to explain that she was targeting the alter ego's behavior, indicating that the alter ego was, at the moment, an alien existence to her.

At least, neither Sitikos, whom Leon had met, nor the Origin Goddess's clone had to bother 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 previous 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 Forbidden Zone Lords he had met had their corresponding Forbidden Zones located in some kind of spacetime interlayer, unlike the past version of Orpheus who had a directly built-in soul.

Even when Lyon had just traveled back to the Eden Era more than six million years ago, he appeared in the Infinite Sea and witnessed its three poles, a state 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 shift his attention away from the past version of Orpheus and immerse himself in the essence of the concept, he suddenly found himself startled. His intuition, stemming from his special profession as a time-space miracle astrologer, warned him like an electric shock.

You can't do that!

Then, he had a sudden inspiration and checked the task panel. To his surprise, he found that the progress of the "Two-Faced Princess" task had suddenly regressed and was being reorganized!

[Ophim Marceau's Hidden Main Quest "The Two-Faced Princess" is currently at -2% completion out of 74%]

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

Does this mean that what I just wanted to do is not only impossible, but will also lead to some terrifying consequences beyond the task itself, causing the task's progress to regress?

Can the mission progress be reversed with just a thought?

Or is it that the incident 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 mission progress is actually a key clue.

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

In the blink of an eye, he was 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:

"Your Excellency, are you aware that spirituality is the key to reaching the fifteenth level? If you cleanse yourself of your secondary personality, it means you will also be washing away your last chance for spirituality to be born?"

This was his last gamble.

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

But this was the best solution he could come up with by combining all the doubts he had just raised.

As soon as he finished speaking, the driving force from the previous version of Orpheus suddenly stalled.

Lyon was stopped at the point where this 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 a few words about it. She said, 'Besides completing the life code, a perfect life also needs to elevate the soul to a perfect level, and spiritual sublimation is the key path.' She did say this to me six million years ago."

Because the six million years of communication records 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 their soul perception is poor, it will also be difficult to trigger spiritual sublimation."

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

Although he fabricated a lot of things, his understanding of spirituality came from his continuous accumulation through his profession as a con artist.

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

"Anything else?"

The previous version of Orpheus asked.

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

His deception skills allowed him to extract conceptual essences very early on, enabling him to deceive 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 blessing he has received is in no way weaker than that of those at the eleventh or twelfth level.

He even received the blessing of poems from the Styx God, the Death God, and the Sacred Tree God when he advanced to a higher rank, gaining a large amount of extra-rank enhancement.

Therefore, his deception of the spiritual knowledge of the past version of Orpheus was not unfounded, but rather based on a solid theoretical foundation.

After exchanging a few more words with the previous 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 whether Terena has told you how to solve the problem of spiritual sublimation for the strong?”

When Lyon heard her say this, he knew that she had come to believe him quite a bit.

Extracting the essence of the concept again now yields even greater profits, earning a direct gain 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 out of control, 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 achieve spiritual sublimation than you."

He deliberately paused midway through his speech, intentionally making his own conjecture sound like Terena's.

Although it's not right to make Treina take the blame for him, there's no other way now. He can only try to reduce his relationship with Treina as much as possible to avoid problems when they settle accounts later.

The former version of Orpheus reached out and touched Leon's chest, saying thoughtfully, "That's 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 wash away this personality."

The previous 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 this doesn't work, you know what the consequences will be, right?"

Feeling the strange and vibrant touch emanating from the other person, Leon calmly said, "Your Majesty, rest assured, I will take responsibility for continuing to nurture the spirituality of your alternate personality, making it strong enough to allow you to break through to the fifteenth level."

"Very good, you should have expressed this opinion a long time ago."

The previous version of Orpheus smiled, then took a deep breath, aiming at Leon:

"I must say, although it was just an exchange of souls and thoughts, you do have an aura that makes me feel a little attached to you. It seems that even I am slightly influenced by this personality."

Lyon feigned a slight frown.

"What, are you surprised?"

The previous version of Orpheus raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, I thought that your attitude towards me was at most that of a stranger, or even a sense of rejection. After all, before your recovery, 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."

Leon looked up and met her gaze.

Now, combined with his previous reflections, he can more or less sense the true nature of the previous version of Orpheus.

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

He lacked reference evidence, and given that previous versions of Orpheus's attitude had been constantly changing, he couldn't grasp the situation accurately for the time being.

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

Not long after she met Orpheus, she was forced into marriage because she was seen naked. Because she refused, and after seeing Britta, she activated her second personality for the first time. With the power of the fifth level at that time, she unleashed the strength of the peak seventh level, and destroyed the entire 42nd floor of the dungeon in one breath, and almost killed Britta.
