Lin Suo landed on Earth 13 years and 2 months ago, on February 1st.
Two years have passed since then.
Since the last legendary battle, no news has spread.
Except that Undead Island split into two, reducing its area by half, now known as South Island and North Island.
Illidare the Silent hasn’t contacted him since that time.
Not even a single message.
Lin Suo was unclear whether it was because the Golden Academy intimidated him, or the time wasn’t right yet.
He currently possessed not a few core technologies.
Many of which had the potential for deep development research.
Unfortunately, Lin Suo was alone and could only delegate the basic research to Tower Spirit as the research results had significant value and needed to be prioritized accordingly.
Thea forgave him, although they were not as close as before; rather, her mind had drifted from childish thoughts to curiosity about her own origins.
Their relationship as father and daughter resumed its initial closeness after Theresa moved out of the Wizard Tower.
Lin Suo personally presided over Thea’s Awakening Ceremony, using the "King of Dreams" potion to enlighten her.
Moreover, Thea was the first Talent Lin Suo had seen besides himself.
Just like All Things Synthesis.
Thea also possessed an indescribable power.
Not a Bloodline yet surpassing it, the origin of this power was hard to explore; one could only experiment with it gradually.
Thea’s Talent was named by Lin Suo as the "Dead Silence Divine Source."
It was also the first time she truly obtained divine powers innate to gods.
The Divine Body that can encompass all Elemental Attributes, overflowing Immortality, with an undying Soul Spirit.
Lin Suo believed this ability came from the ’Ether’ energy.
The second power, similar to the Power of Dark Star yet distinctly different, was the Power of Death, which had mutated.
Lin Suo named it "Dead Silence Divine Power."
The Original Divine Race, from birth, possessed both Divine Body and Divine Power, perfectly corresponding to their Talents.
And they were significantly more powerful than the data the vice-principal had provided him.
Already displaying extraordinary traits typical of the World Tree, currently only the etheric nature of the Divine Body is consistent, the rest being illusions.
This power only began to manifest after awakening at the age of six.
Under Lin Suo’s guidance, to hide her identity, Thea subconsciously abandoned this power.
But with the development of her mind and stimulated by his educational methods,
She began to control this power.
And as Padolon’s destruction intensified, her strength exponentially grew.
Currently, Thea’s Dead Silence Divine Power, like bringing an end to all things with death, is much more powerful than Lin Suo’s Power of Dark Star.
The body that can control such power.
One can only imagine how formidable it is.
Divine Body and Divine Power are the powers inherent to the Original Divine Race.
Divine Status is a weapon and also a direction for future development, corresponding with Divine Office; the latter two are intellectual products of divine civilization, akin to the Wizard Path of humanity.
Regarding this, Lin Suo was quite perplexed.
Considering the relationship between gods and wizards, and now that Thea began to master this power, she could no longer appear in public until she could completely conceal it, just like before she awakened.
The Wizard Path was not suitable for this child.
She has her own path to follow.
Only at this moment did Lin Suo truly recognize the compelling nature of destiny, not to be dominated by one’s own will.
The only consolation was.
Thea was still young.
Although the essence of her power was unbelievably strong, the amount was not vast.
Lin Suo could destroy an entire island, but Thea could only obliterate a rock.
It didn’t seem nearly as impressive as him.
But this power was truly terrifying.
If they both were to disintegrate the same rock, Lin Suo could reduce it to ash as light as feathers using the Power of Dark Star.
Meanwhile, Thea could erase its very existence from the fabric of reality, leaving not even ashes behind.
Such evidently excessive destructive power.
Lin Suo intentionally trained Thea’s Gun Skill and created a multi-form gun for her using his most adept Evolution Core Technology.
To wizards, this device is a Lifebound Weapon that can grow with them.
For Thea, it represented her Divine Status.
Under the corruption of Dead Silence Divine Power, its hardness and performance greatly exceeded the Evolution Core nurtured by Lin Suo over many years in just a few months.
It was perfectly suited for Thea’s current Status.
Given its exceptional quality, it was understandable that one shot could obliterate a Nine Ring Wizard.
Of course, that assumes the target doesn’t dodge and chooses to take the hit head-on.
Complete annihilation would be the only outcome.
Lin Suo himself wasn’t completely sure he could withstand one shot, but evading before the death bullet arrived wasn’t a problem.
Playing it quiet and low-key was the best strategy.
Thea already had her own thoughts, and she deeply contemplated Lin Suo’s teachings, maturing intellectually very rapidly.
She was no less mature than an adult.
As a result, Lin Suo spent most of the time teaching her in the role of a teacher.
He genuinely imparted to her the darker aspects of adult cunning.
He took her to witness the tragedy of a Hunting Group falling out over a Rare magical creature.
To see the decay and corruption brought by noble privileges.
To understand murder, betrayal, greed, and bullying—the evils of humanity.
He also showed her familial love, romantic love, and friendship, letting her experience the bonds between people.
Kindness, compassion, and integrity—he shared his personal views and way of handling relationships without reserve.
He truly gave it his all.
Indeed, Thea did not disappoint, the more she witnessed, the more she understood, and she actively validated the wisdom and knowledge she acquired from Lin Suo.
Teaching a prodigy was always a pleasure.
And a prodigy invariably had her own ideas and opinions.
On the day of March 5th, year 13.
Thea proposed to Lin Suo that she wanted to travel alone. Given her inherently Undying nature, Lin Suo wasn’t worried about her safety. After ensuring she was well-prepared, he agreed.
Nearly six years flew by in the blink of an eye.
But it was also what Lin Suo had hoped for.
The traces of the World Tree in Thea were too faint and had not carried out their anticipated function. Instead, a father-daughter affection had developed.
At the age of six, a human child would still be learning how to behave. Although Thea was smart enough, Lin Suo wouldn’t have let her go out by herself just like that.
What truly made Lin Suo decide.
Came from her Divine heritage.
Just like the Dragon Clan, where the offspring who can shout their true name upon hatching is a Giant Dragon, those who cannot are called crippled Dragon Beasts.
Merely having the appearance.
This was just as applicable to the Divine Race.
Thea gave him a piece of intelligence about Gods, planets, and the universe.
Derived from her Bloodline memory inheritance.
This intelligence, besides its practical value, outlined the advancement path for Gods, giving Lin Suo no reason to obstruct her.
On this journey, Thea was most likely headed to the Inverted World, in search of her origins.
How to get there Lin Suo did not know.
Once Thea awakened, she would naturally know.
She could effortlessly open the gateway to the Inverted World. Lin Suo only advised her to return once before the end of the world, or at least to send him a message to ensure her safety.
