You are all my wings...

Although the person in front of her had the same hair color as Anemi, their facial features were completely different. They were only slightly similar in temperament, but there was still a fundamental difference between them.

Although he had only known the real Agnieszka for a short time, Leon still had a thorough understanding of women's qualities, a skill he had naturally developed over his life.

In comparison, the genuine beauty is 'pure and natural beauty,' the kind of natural and grand beauty found in the wind, forests, lakes, and sky.

The latter possesses a 'beauty of exceptional clarity,' a kind of radiant perfection, and an aura that comes from a mindset of doing as one pleases without overstepping boundaries. In particular, her eyes, which appear to be full of wisdom and magnanimity, seem to have remained completely unaffected by the embarrassment of having her identity exposed after Leon's resurrection.

Seeing Leon observing her carefully, she immediately smiled brightly, revealing a gentle expression:

“My dear Leon, do you really doubt that I am not Anemy? I am Anemy, but I have undergone some changes, so I am not the same as you saw me at the end of the Eden era.”

Lyon chuckled: "The higher the rank of a soul, the more consistent it is with appearance. I can still tell the difference between your soul and Agnimi's. If you don't tell the truth, I'll have to withdraw the conceptual power I've injected into you and return you to your near-death state."

In fact, his ability cannot be reversed, but he can use his life to directly weaken her newly resurrected body through deception.

The remnant soul of 'Aenemi' was compressed and transformed into information streams before being sent to drift through the river of time. Therefore, when Leon resurrected her, he did indeed extract her physical body from the remnant soul. The physical body in front of us is her original physical body, only it has undergone several transformations of spiritual information matter.

After becoming a god, Leon was indeed able to do many more things, even resurrecting and extending the lifespan of souls at a low cost.

'Agnimi's' soul lifespan has been extended from 0.2 years to a hundred years. This is not actually Leon's limit. He only stopped using conceptual deception to extend her lifespan after he discovered her abnormality. The real limit is probably to extend her soul lifespan by another three or four hundred years. Any longer and the consumption required will increase exponentially.

'Aniemi's' snow-white eyelashes trembled slightly, revealing a look of impending tears, and she sobbed:

"Leon, why won't you believe me? I really just went through some things that caused an irreversible change in my soul. We've known each other for so long, don't you believe me?"

Leon said speechlessly, "Your acting skills are good enough to fool others, but it's one thing to fool me. Now, let's be honest, as long as your reasons are valid, I won't punish you arbitrarily. After all, you did provide me with some valuable information back then."

'Anemi' continued to wail, large, crystal-clear tears streaming down her tear tracks onto the snow-white and pink skin of her chest.

Anyone who saw this scene would probably feel heartbroken.

But Leon is Leon after all; he just had a bored look on his face as if he were watching your performance.

After a moment, seeing that Leon didn't react, 'Agnimi' raised her right eye and glanced at him lightly, asking weakly:

"You really won't just dispose of me however you want?"

"Of course."

Leon said he wasn't lying, and he hadn't suffered any real loss. On the contrary, he had learned a lot of secrets because of her.

"Alright then, I'll tell you the truth."

'Aenemi's' tears evaporated quickly, and a barely perceptible glint of cunning flashed in her eyes:

“As expected of you, Leon. As you can see, I am indeed not Agniemi, but Agniemi and I do have a deep relationship.”

Lyon said, "You can't possibly be the wind spirit from Agnemia's previous generation, can you?"

"No, do you remember that Anemiai had another title?"

"Title? Goddess?"

“That’s right. Actually, this title was originally mine, but after my fall, Petelides transferred it to Anemii.”

"Agnemiai," said [the speaker].

Leon suddenly remembered that Astalia or Gagara had once told him that the Goddess of Origin had appeared three times during the Eden Era, and the second time was when she bestowed the title of the Goddess of Beauty upon the newly born Anemi. In other words, the one in front of him was the one who fell at that time.

“I am the natural god of the concept of beauty. As long as the concept of beauty exists, I will not perish. However, in the world of Auster, there is no forbidden zone of creation for me to rebuild this remnant soul. Therefore, I can only rely on Aenemi, the successor of the title of goddess of beauty, to quietly develop and wait for the right time.”

She said slowly.

Lyon said thoughtfully, "But then, not long after the next era began, Aenemi was easily wiped out by Petrified?"

"That's right. Back then, it was you who transformed the remnant soul in Aenei's body into a stream of information and threw it into the river of time, freeing it from the fate of having its soul completely destroyed by Petrified. However, you probably didn't expect that Aenei had already completely perished at that time, and the remnant soul you transformed was actually me residing in her body."

'Agnemia' explained.

Leon frowned, meaning that in the original timeline, Agniemi ultimately couldn't escape Petrified's laws of retribution?

However, upon closer examination, it makes sense. Apart from M'shiruna, who lived through three eras, the other epoch elves could only exchange their Origin God bloodline through reincarnation, and this was only achieved after Astalia spread the faith of the Church across the continent.

The other spirits of the present era, despite being endowed with the potential to reach the thirteenth or fourteenth rank, have lives that pass by in the blink of an eye, like shooting stars.

"No, why have we never heard of any goddess of beauty other than Aenei in mythological history?"

"It's simple, because I wasn't born as the goddess of beauty in the world of Auster."

'Agnemia' smiled slightly:

"Isn't it a coincidence that I come from this higher-dimensional world you're in now?"

Lyon's heart skipped a beat: "Could it really be such a coincidence?"

'Aenei' laughed and said, "Otherwise, you'll know once you think about it. In the world of Auster, below the level of an immortal god, who can withstand the attack of Petrified and still have a chance to recover?"

Lyon could tell that she was still hiding a lot of facts, but for now, he could only talk about it slowly.

The so-called goddess of beauty may not be true.

He changed the subject: "So, what was your purpose in impersonating Aenei? How did you fall from a higher-dimensional world to a lower-dimensional world?"

Take one day off

As the title says, there seems to be something wrong with the oysters I ate yesterday. My stomach has been upset all day, and I only felt a little better after sweating it out after waking up. I will update as usual the day after tomorrow, and there will be more updates.

P.S., this book is scheduled to reach 2 million words in a few days. According to the outline, there are still many plot lines of key characters that have not been completed, and some plot holes from the early stages need to be filled. At least another 200,000 to 300,000 words need to be added before the end.

In addition to the epilogues and side stories for the female characters after the series concludes, and some of the deleted parts will be released in the form of flashbacks, there will probably be a lot more content here. My plan is a four-part series with seven main female characters, the Era Elf, the three popes and the saintess, the nine lords of the forbidden zones, the three supreme beings, the villain's wife, several evil gods, and Leon's daughters. Basically, every female character who has appeared will have her own epilogue.

For me, the general content of this book has already been finalized, there are no plot points that will cause problems, and all I need to do is update it normally from now on.

So I've been taking some time lately to research the subject matter for my new book. The subject matter will still be harem, with multiple female characters interacting daily life, and lots of dramatic scenes.

The question is about the background. Do you want to see a Western fantasy medieval background, a Western fantasy steampunk background, an Eastern fantasy background, a cultivation background, a modern urban superpower background, or a post-apocalyptic background?

Personally, I want to try my hand at a blend of Eastern fantasy and harem. I've already taken the time to work on a few drafts, hoping to make the world-building more substantial, the writing more refined, and the story more interesting. I'd also like to try portraying different types of Eastern beauties. I would appreciate any comments and suggestions from readers, especially those who would like to see more of each type.

Chapter 616 Jormungandr: Do you prefer someone with long legs or someone like me?

'Anemii' said, "There's nothing I can do, because I know the most about what's going on between her and you. Besides, she probably wanted me to bring you some messages. But things seem to have taken an unexpected turn. You changed the timeline of what should have been a time when you were in love with her."

Lyon's heart stirred slightly. Referring to Terena's previous words, his original fate was to continue its reversed course until it would cause several lords of the forbidden zones to conceive his children.

However, after he impregnated only two women, Tikos and Terena, Jormungandr's intervention altered the course of events. As a result, even now, on the Ultimate Chessboard at the end of time, his relationships with several Forbidden Zone Lords remain strained.

In other words, his relationship with Anemie probably never developed because of this.

Or is it that you are still in a loop, but haven't yet triggered that history?

After all, Taginia once said that she had a relationship with her during the gap between the Genesis Era and the Divine Species Era, which shows that this history is already locked.

"Then why did you fall?"

"Because we, as pure conceptual gods, do not follow the path of the creator god, but rather the path of conceptual expansion."

'Agnemia' said:

“Gods of Law from lower-dimensional worlds need to complete the laws of creation in order to ascend. As for us, pure concept gods, once we reach the level of God of Law, it is equivalent to completely controlling the root of our own birth. We can directly change the conceptual understanding of the world. However, even if we achieve this, we are not truly invincible, because other similar concepts can still interfere with us.”

Lyon said thoughtfully, "So, you mean you need to master all similar concepts to advance to the seventeenth rank?"

“That’s right, this level is also called the Concept God. As the God of Creation, Fiadina also wields a pure innate concept called [Shenxiu], making her a powerful God of Creation who walks a dual path. But at that time, she always appeared in the world as the [Shenxiu Concept God], without revealing her identity as the God of Creation. I didn’t expect her hidden trump card. I quickly failed in my struggle against her for this [Shenxiu] concept and was knocked into her spacetime veil, greatly reducing my strength.”

'Aniemi' sighed:

"Then, Petelides discovered that I had used the title of Goddess of Beauty when I entered the world of Auster, and that my strength was showing signs of recovery. So she used the World Ritual to personally strip me of this title of Goddess of Beauty, and I have been living on the back of Agnimi ever since."

As she sighed, her expression was serene, her jade-like face radiant, and her demeanor pitiful—a stark contrast to the composed and elegant appearance she had previously presented.

Leon laughed and said, "You don't need to act in front of me. Although the story you just told seemed very tragic, I didn't see you panic at all. You were acting the whole time, which shows that there are still a lot of things cut out in your story."

'Anemi' blinked.

Lyon asked, "Also, what's your name?"

Aphrodite.

She smiled and said, "How about we make a deal? I know you want to rebel against Fiardina. After all, she used those evil methods to bring you to your current level. The conditions she offered seemed good and gentle, but she actually hid many traps. I also know that you need multi-level treasures to advance. You're currently at level ten and can still use level twelve items, but once you reach level twelve, level fourteen and above treasures will be practically nonexistent in lower-dimensional worlds. You'll have to find such treasures in this higher-dimensional world, and I happen to know where to find them. All you have to do is help me defeat Fiardina and obtain the concept of 'Divine Show' that she possesses."

Lyon's heart stirred slightly.

Indeed, a secret treasure can only be crafted by killing at least one monster or divine creature of the same level. In the world of Auster, the limit for both divine creatures and monsters is thirteenth rank, and the number is definitely no more than five, or even fewer.

In other words, starting from the eleventh level, he will begin to lack the thirteenth level secret treasure.

Either fall back and use low-level secret treasures, or use multiple twelfth-level secret treasures to fuse them into a thirteenth-level one.

This is clearly why, from beginning to end, only Astalia among the intelligent races successfully ascended to become the Lord of the Forbidden Zone, because the secret treasure was also a major hurdle.

Even the secret treasure that allowed her to advance to the thirteenth rank was a gift from Terena.

"Then tell me, how many treasures of rank fourteen or higher do you have detailed information about?"

"At least seven fourteenth steps and two fifteenth steps."

"That's not enough."

"This isn't enough? Don't think that just because this is a higher-dimensional world with many magic gods, there will be more treasures!"

Aphrodite snorted:

"Although the higher-dimensional world gathers countless lower-dimensional worlds, it is also more spacious and devoid of human activity. In the vast starry river spanning hundreds of thousands of light-years, there may only be one foreign goddess, Fiadina. Most of the venerable gods in the central star region cannot come to such a secluded environment. Therefore, it is already extremely difficult for a few unclaimed treasures to accumulate in this area!"

Her humming voice was delicate and sweet, with a hint of sharpness, which was quite pleasant to listen to.

"Although what you said makes some sense."

Lyon said, "But you can't even beat Fiardina, how can I, a tenth-rank player, possibly win?"

“You are different. You are the most gifted being I have ever seen. Even with my many years of experience and the many geniuses I have met in the Central Star Region, most of them are far inferior to you. Not only that, you have also comprehended the true meaning of creation, which means that you are already closer to the creator god than many magic gods!”

As Aphrodite spoke, she moved closer to Lyon, her eyes revealing a hint of provocation:

"A genius like you, are you really afraid of Fiardina, that idiot who hasn't even become a Creation Master after all these years?"

"Provocation doesn't work on me."

Lyon shook his head:

"Here's what we'll do: tell me the locations of all the treasures first. Once I find one, I'll help you recover some of your strength."

Aphrodite's eyes lit up: "Then it's settled!"

[Goddess Aphrodite's favorability increases by 1%, character panel unlocked]

Leon narrowed his eyes. It seemed that all her previous preparations were for this moment, and the so-called deal details were just a smokescreen.

But he didn't lose out either.

……

And so Aphrodite settled down in this house of illusion.

When Jormungandr woke up from her seclusion three days later, she was about to come and have some awkward little interactions with Leon when she found that there was an Aphrodite. At that time, Aphrodite was wearing a thin, loose top and walking around Leon with her long, white legs.

"Who are you?"

Jormungandr frowned, realizing that Aphrodite was no ordinary person.

Firstly, Aphrodite appears weak, lacking even third-order strength, yet she thrives in this higher-dimensional world, completely unaware of the need to exert her power to resist the constant pressure of its laws.

Secondly, although her soul aura was very weak, her status was quite extraordinary, like a setting sun hanging high in the sky. Although its afterglow was not strong and it was slightly weak and mottled, it still possessed considerable pressure.

At this moment, Leon was taking the time to ask Aphrodite for information about the higher-dimensional world while preparing for his [Shadow of Concepts]. Once the skill was fully developed, he would make an initial attempt to return to the lower-dimensional world.

The reason for the need for gestation is that the world on the curtain of time and space is full of bubbles, layered endlessly, with each other as dimensions. Finding the original location one left behind would require an enormous amount of effort.

"She is Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty, a pure conceptual deity of this higher-dimensional world. For some reason, she will be traveling with me for the time being."

Lyon replied casually.

Yemeng Jialu raised an eyebrow: "How come your romantic escapades still exist in this world? Make her leave, I want to kiss you and find that feeling again."

Her words were so blunt that Aphrodite laughed: "Your way of courting is quite interesting. I remember that you exalted gods who follow the path to the end don't really like romance."

Yemenggalo frowned and said, "You are an outsider, but Lyon is my future partner. What's so strange about what I'm saying?"

Aphrodite: "What normal guy would casually say he wants to kiss someone in front of strangers?"
