So the materials for the Time Magic Ring.
"Time Crystals (Large), Magic Power Polymer (Excessive), Mandela Grass, Deceit Fruit, Deep Space Fog, Purity Tears..."
Lin Suo is preparing to condense the corresponding Magic Ring for , requiring materials that are all rather rare, almost on par in value with common Legendary materials.
It’s also somewhat challenging to collect them.
However, he suddenly had an intriguing idea: should he use the "Sun Dial Divine Position" to condense the Time Ring?
Divine Office is a unique power of the Titan clan.
A gift from the World Tree.
Then he also has a (pseudo) World Tree, existing in the form of a Magic Ring within his Conscious Sea.
And he holds absolute lordship over it.
Devouring the World Tree’s power of the past spacetime, to fulfill his (pseudo) World Tree, surely a rewarding result can be achieved, even potentially complete devouring.
In the future, when returning to the current spacetime, he wouldn’t be erased due to time rules.
Instead of drawing from the Padolon World Tree to sustain the Divine Office, he would use his own (pseudo) World Tree for support.
The feasibility looks quite good.
And also... it seems... maybe... he should create some avatars, to acquire more Divine Offices?
This idea, like a devil’s whisper, took root deeply in Lin Suo’s mind, unable to be dispelled. He felt compelled to give it a try.
After all, there would be no loss; even if an avatar unexpectedly died, it would not affect the main body’s strength.
With Death Pool Water and Time Passage Witchcraft, he is capable of cultivating a new avatar in a short time, unlike before when each avatar took 2–3 years to cultivate.
Large-scale nurturing facilities – he has created several with the characteristics of the Divine Power Wish Machine, using the Titan Creation Power, and the equipment is definitely up to standard.
The fervor in his heart woke him completely.
"Fire Transmitter Your Excellency."
"You’ve digested it well? What’s the result?"
"I can only say, as a Mysterious Artifact of legend, it perfectly met my requirements."
"Mysterious Artifact of legend?"
The Fire Transmitter muttered to himself with questions, but did not continue to inquire, although he also learned quite a bit about the application of Space-Time Power, a significant gain.
"Time-class Divine Office, truly a wondrous power, time..."
"Rhein, your identity as a Titan, I have no doubts about that, but I always feel there’s an impenetrable mist surrounding you, originating from the Power of Time."
"And your personality... doesn’t quite seem like that of a Titan."
Lin Suo nodded, he guessed it must be the innate power of the Space-Time Illusion Realm itself, like it sealed his Wizard level, also providing him with a protective barrier.
He didn’t conceal any Titan-related information from the Fire Transmitter.
"I was what you’d call an ascended Titan Divine Body, not one of natural lineage. It came from a force known as Chaos Baptism. This power can transform any being to evolve towards the bloodline of the genesis Titan after undergoing the baptism."
"Chaos Baptism, huh... I’ll remember that."
"So, your Divine Office, is it also something you conned your way into getting?"
The Fire Transmitter could hardly conceal his amusement, recalling the high and mighty Titan clan and was clearly filled with rage, having suffered under their oppression.
"You could say that."
"The Titan clan doesn’t keep a citizen registry; I used the back door to enter the Realm of World Tree, not the main entrance."
Normally, the divine enthronement pilgrimage of each Titan would be publicly held, depending on the growth of the young Titan.
Sometimes a hundred years could pass without one, and at other times, there could be several in a year.
Moreover, the official coronation must take place on Mount of Gods. Lin Suo did not want to meet the current Divine King, nor did he want to attract too much attention.
Should his cover be blown, that would be the end of it.
As for the Goddess of Flowers and Elegance, Aglaia, she couldn’t care less about Lin Suo’s origins. After all, he was a Titan, and had just completed the pilgrimage, no doubt.
It was all among their own people; there was no chance for sabotage.
The internal strife of the Titans did not involve a Titan who had just come of age.
With that out of the way.
Lin Suo wanted to influence the Fire Transmitter a bit more, yet also less, out of fear that what happened here would truly reflect in the river of history.
To alter pivotal events he did not wish to change.
But if this place was a part of the Cosmic Wonders that would not affect the outside world, then that would mean a missed opportunity.
The Fire of Truth, as valuable as it is, even if using it came with a high price, would be acceptable, considering its significant enhancement to comprehension.
For a Holy Spirit Level Wizard to have it and breakthrough limitations, to achieve immortality, would be quite normal, even a regularized power.
Regrettably, the real-world Fire of Truth was taken by the Fire Transmitter and vanished 30,000 years ago, from a point in time distant from the Cosmic Era.
Thinking of this, Lin Suo couldn’t help but ask.
"Fire Transmitter Your Excellency, apart from using knowledge as fuel, does the Fire of Truth have any unknown side effects? After all, it seems to help individuals comprehend even the rules very simply."
"Unknown side effects?"
The Fire Transmitter stroked his beard and walked to the window, looking somewhat lost in thought at the flames burning fiercely in the Land of Eternal Flame.
It took him a long time to turn his head back.
"If I have to say, addiction."
"Every time the Fire of Truth is used, the users get amazed by its profound, wisdom enlightening effect, and they fervently burn it, continuing without end."
"Until the speed at which they create new knowledge can’t keep up with the rate it’s burned at, and they lose all memory, that’s when they stop. And often at that time they would blankly throw themselves into the Fire of Truth, fantasizing about becoming truth itself."
"So, I have never shared the Fire of Truth with more people, worried they would indulge in the omnipotence of knowledge until their death."
Lin Suo listened and finally understood where his restless desire came from. Shocked, he realized that his evil thoughts had been instilled by this flame.
It wasn’t my fault that I wanted to possess it.
How could the plain and kind-hearted Rhein ever do anything wrong? It’s all Lin Suo’s doing; what does it have to do with me, Rhein?
Since that’s the case.
There’s nothing to regret if I part with it, but how the Fire Transmitter resists this kind of invasion, that really piques my curiosity.
He must have some unique, non-replicable attribute.
"Rhein, you should realize the influence it has after using it once; you should not even think about using it again for at least a hundred years, otherwise, you will definitely be devoured by desire."
"If you want to use it again, you can come find me after a hundred years."
"Thank you, then. Now that matters are settled here, I should take my leave. I wish you a smooth development on the path of a wizard."
"Ha ha ha, thanks for your auspicious words."
Lin Suo tore open a spatial rift, ready to leave, but suddenly hesitated.
"By the way, Fire Transmitter sir, may I know your name?"
"Then remember it well, Alberto de Marionco."
"Alberto from Marionco, I will remember you. I hope we will meet again one day."
Passing through the spatial rift, Lin Suo disappeared from the high tower of the Fire Transmitter.
And the Fire Transmitter, Alberto de Marionco,
Sat back down in front of the Fire of Truth.
Suddenly, multiple overlapping afterimages appeared on his body, as if existing simultaneously in the past, present, and future.
Due to Lin Suo’s arrival, he gained a special understanding of the power of time, consolidating this new knowledge through the effects of the Fire of Truth and continually evolving it.
In the past space-time, a time-related cosmic wonder was taking shape, seemingly revealing even more ancient history...
The space-time illusion within the cosmic wonder, did it appear because of him?!
Lin Suo arrived at the spot where he first landed.
Pushing open the large tree house door,
He planned to stay here for a while; the place was empty but not dusty, obviously well-maintained.
Lin Suo began setting up experimental equipment, preparing to cultivate a new avatar.
Avatars of the four elements + space element had been made, but in the outside world, due to the separation of time, the connection with his avatars was very unstable.
He could only issue a command to act according to circumstances and remain low-key, then let them develop on their own.
Mainly, the space avatar, staying in the Corona Main Star’s Truth Academy to feed on blood, was particularly concerning.
For the new avatar, Lin Suo was preparing to cultivate a Thunder Element avatar, to see if he could sneak into Godhood again through the graceful path of the God Aglaia...
He had mastered the cultivation of avatars.
There was no difficulty in setting it up.
Just as he was about to infuse the Titan cell bud, the wooden door was pushed open from outside, and a small figure walked in.
White hair, cute appearance, small stature, with a rag on her head, looking adorably bewildered.
But the little one seemed a bit scared when she saw Lin Suo.
"Who... who are you? This is Niff’s house!"
Lin Suo waved his hand and simulated the previous appearance of the Moon God Elf, Niff pausing in confusion, said.
"Uncle Rhein? But, you aren’t a Moon God Elf~"
"You forgot the salad dressing and the recipe I gave you?"
Only the two of them knew about this.
Niff reluctantly believed him, but still repeatedly confirmed.
"Write the recipe for me again, so I can believe you."
Divine power surged, instantly condensing a recipe that fell into little Niff’s palm, leaving her stunned.
"Well... are you really Uncle Rhein?"
"You look like those Titans, and also like humans~"
"You even know about humans?"
"Of course, don’t underestimate Niff, I am the future star of Rafael!"
Striking a bold pose, Niff carelessly threw away the rag, clearly, there was no need for her to clean here anymore.
"Uncle Rhein, it’s still the same rule, if you stay in my house, you have to cook for me!"
Lin Suo didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
"You haven’t gotten tired of it?"
Niff was scratching her plump chin, somewhat conflicted.
Suddenly, her eyes lit up.
"Why not teach me to become strong! My uncle said that an Elf’s strength is determined at birth, but I don’t believe it; I want to avenge my parents, I want to become stronger."
Lin Suo stroked his chin, gazing earnestly at Niff.
