After I died, my personal maid rebelled.

Inhale, exhale, and the courage I had just mustered vanished.

The Duke said he had found the answer to victory in his own abilities, but no one expected that the unexpected events that followed would be so thrilling.

Outsiders couldn't see through the scheme, but Jenny, who was controlling the energy within the Duke's body, felt a lingering fear countless times. In that situation, if it weren't for the six thousand loyal soldiers of the Legion sacrificing themselves to become immortal, the Duke might have truly touched the authority of the gods.

Moreover, although the Duke appears to be normal on the surface, his internal power system is actually out of balance, not to mention that he has to endure the corrosive power of lust at all times.

Clutching her two braids, Jenny stood at the door, caught in a dilemma. When it came to matters of personal feelings, she couldn't imitate Elena's frankness at all.

That kind of aggressive love is something she can never learn in her entire life.

On the other hand, Jenny was also looking forward to it; she hoped she could alleviate the Duke's pain, perhaps by channeling his lustful desires...

High emotional intelligence: The Duke of Oswald respected their wishes; Low emotional intelligence: The most important thing for a couple is to be patient.

After hesitating for a long time, Jenny knocked on the door.

"Enter."

Pushing open the door, Jenny walked in timidly, too nervous to make a sound. She felt the carpet beneath her feet was very soft, making her feel light and airy, as if this place shouldn't have any footsteps disturbing her.

She slowly raised her eyes and found the Duke with both hands on his chin, his expression a mixture of confusion and confusion.

As the Minister of Medical Affairs, Commander of the Northern Army, Holy Maiden of the Kingdom, and one of the spiritual leaders of the Northern Territory, Jenny felt she was doing well again; she had always been good at enlightening others in their confusion.

"What troubles you, Your Grace?"

Oswald blinked, and when he saw that Jenny had returned to normal in front of him, he smiled, a rare occurrence for him.

"It's nothing major, but I suspect that officer named Arian is related to our Charles family by blood. I just don't know whether it was my father or my grandfather who made the mistake."

Her smile slowly froze, and Jenny regretted it; she shouldn't have said that!

In the Northern Territory, where monogamy is prevalent, the sudden appearance of a bloodline heir of unknown origin is a very serious political problem, the kind that would lead to criticism and struggle sessions even after death.

Now, in what capacity should she analyze the problem?

Jenny took another tense breath. It seemed she would have to use her connections and the people's hearts to get the Duke to ascend the throne ahead of schedule... Although a duke could only have one wife, an emperor had to take several concubines.

No, that's not enough! Eleanor told me to keep a close eye on things and try my best to prevent other women from appearing around the Duke.

"How did you find out, sir?" The quick-witted Jennifer decided to change the subject.

Oswald frowned. "His adaptability to my power is too high. Not only that, he can master the swordsmanship and spearmanship passed down in the Duke's mansion at a speed far exceeding others, and he has recently awakened the power of the wind element."

Elene described it clearly to Oswald: when Erian first released his immortal magic, his speed and mobility were several times faster, and wind trails also appeared.

Based on this intelligence, Oswald was almost 100% certain that Ariane was a descendant of the Charles family.

In fact, Oswald didn't need to be so conflicted. Having several excellent young men in the family wasn't a big problem.

Even Cage Charles was treated casually; he'd only help you when he needed you, and otherwise you'd just go somewhere else to stay.

But now Aerion is the best vessel to hold his excess power, equivalent to a fuse to prevent him from going berserk in his immortal form.

But since it's a fuse, there's a risk of it blowing...

Does Oswald have to tell him directly, "You are now a member of our family, and you must give everything for the great ideals of the family head?"

"I think that in order to prevent the recurrence of the loyalist legion, he will agree to help you, sir."

After listening to Oswald express his inner struggles, Jenny thought about it carefully and felt that the Duke's concerns were really unfounded.

Most warriors in the Northern Territory would consider sacrificing themselves for the Duke to be the highest honor.

"I've already written to Luna. We'll consider this issue again after we find out the truth."

Oswald sighed, got up and went to the window, a little habit he had when working—standing up to look at the scenery after sitting for a long time.

Compared to the bustling atmosphere of the Northern Duke's Mansion, which is just a wall away, the location of the Royal Palace is too desolate. It is so desolate that if you don't look closely, you might think that the royal city is still the same as before.

"Come and chat with me, Jennifer. We've just developed a closer relationship, not a barrier between us. Sometimes I still miss the nights when the three of us would drink together and talk about our dreams and the future."

"Now you two won't even let me speak."

Jenny stepped forward, smiling shyly. Oswald took her hand, as if holding a soft, cool veil.

"Your hands are so warm..."

"Is that so?" Oswald couldn't help but chuckle. Sometimes he felt that Eleanor and Jenny had conspired to secretly test him with certain words.

The two gazed into the distance, where the giant python resembled a statue, adorned with wind chimes made by monsters, emitting faint mournful howls.

This was the first time Jenny had ever realized how beautiful the scenery was.

She squinted slightly, listening quietly to Oswald's analysis of the world and his anxieties.

The power of the Goddess of Law is beyond doubt. If she wanted, she could rule over all the gods and beings that would be born after her, instead of choosing Janice and others as the heroes who would save the world in the future.

One of the brave warriors, Annie, was even tormented by the goddess of life...

So where exactly did the Goddess of Law go?

Oswald and several other experts concluded that the Goddess of Law fought an earth-shattering battle against the invading God of Lust in order to protect the newly created world.

Then the two gods both perished, and with their last bit of power, they profoundly influenced the development of the entire world.

The next question is, why did the goddess of life suddenly turn against the sun?

If she didn't intend to torment living beings with sunlight, then the only possibility is that the Goddess of Law, in the sun, or in a larger stellar system, imposed some kind of restriction on future gods.

The energy possessed by a star is not something that any goddess of nature or goddess of life can understand; to put it bluntly, they simply cannot grasp it.

Without the sun, you two gods wouldn't even have had a chance to be born. Who knows, the one sitting here in a daze would be some equally bored dark goddess.

The system unilaterally severed ties with headquarters and erased the system store that had caused so much trouble. Although it went to a meeting shortly afterward, the task to resolve the solar incident remained lit up in the taskbar.

If Oswald wasn't mistaken, this must be a mission issued by the faction of the leader. The leader even said not to have any hope for the lottery, which means he knows something inside.

Now Oswald faces two paths: one is to seize the power of immortality and begin the final divine war; the other is to believe in the Goddess of Law and seek the direction she has shown him.

As the projection of the God of Corruption said, the great trend of the universe is that prosperity will inevitably decline, and unity will inevitably lead to division. No single great god can stop it. The day of the great cosmic war is not far away.

This is the opportunity that the Goddess of Life has been waiting for. She only needs to be patient enough for the time traveler to temporarily leave this world.

Oswald may disregard the chaos of the war between the universe and the system headquarters, but when the galaxy truly burns, I never considered sending my legions to attack and let the home planet be destroyed on that day…

Headache, Oswald's head ached just thinking about it. This wasn't a simple matter like enemies and allies sharing the same origin, or the enemy attacking your spawn point—those relatively straightforward problems.

The home planet holds immense significance for every transmigrator. The more ambiguous and vague the Commander's words became, the more Oswald doubted whether they, the wanderers far from home, would be able to retain their souls when the home planet was destroyed.

Jenny, who had been listening quietly, interjected appropriately, "Speaking of the heroes chosen by the Goddess of Laws, Elene seems to fit the bill."

Upon hearing this, Oswald nodded. "I can probably guess that."

Looking up at the Duke's confident demeanor, Jennifer couldn't help but tease him, "Then you must be able to guess that Luna's power is also affected by the Goddess of Law, right?"

"Who?" Oswald's mind went blank for a moment. "Luna?"
