Prime Originator

"Looks like I've settled Darlene's body forging method, but I still need to find one for Aria…" Leon mused.

And while he was at it, he also wanted to find suitable techniques for everyone else dear to him as well.

After Leon absorbed the Empyrean Void Body Law's knowledge into his memory, he resumed browsing through the list of body forging methods.

…

<Brahma God Heavenly Fire Body Refinement Art, Vol.4>

<Indestructible Vajra Body Law, Vol.2>

…

Leon suddenly paused.

'Indestructible Vajra Body Law? Whoever practiced this Indestructible Vajra Body Law probably wasn't as indestructible as they thought they were…' Leon smiled amusedly.

After shaking his head, he went back to browsing the list of body forging methods again.

…

<Nine Suns Heavenly Body Law, Vol.1>

<True Blizzard King Tempering Flesh Method, Vol.3>

<White Tiger Monarch Forging Bone Method, Vol.7>

<Devil Emperor's Undying Body Law, Vol.5>

<Empyrean Thunder Body Law, Vol.2>

…

'Empyrean Thunder Body Law? This technique belongs to another Empyrean God?!' Leon's eyes slowly widened with surprise.

No doubt, any methods from the Empyrean Gods are bound to be extraordinary, more so than any other True Divinities from the primordial era.

'But this is the second volume… If I don't read the introduction in the first volume, I won't be able to find out what this Empyrean Thunder Body Law can do…'

Leon furrowed his brows.

After transmitting a thought to the Archive, his search for the first volume of the Empyrean Thunder Body Law failed.

However, the third and fourth volumes appeared.

'Hm, it seems like I can only put this technique on hold for the time being. Hopefully, Darlene or Aria managed to pick up the first volume in the ruin,' Leon thought.

He could only pin his hopes on the following batch of primordial heritage his women were collecting in the ruin.

'Hey, Maya,' Leon suddenly reached out to his artifact spirit before he asked, 'Do you know any Empyrean God that specialized in the thunder or lightning laws?'

'An Empyrean God specializing in thunder or lightning laws, huh? You must be talking about…huh?' Maya was about to give Leon an answer when she abruptly stopped.

'About…?' Leon pressed.

'That's strange,' Maya frowned and said, 'I'm pretty certain that I know all the Empyrean Gods… Yet I can't seem to recall the Empyrean God that specializes in the thunder and lightning laws…'

'The knowledge is probably locked behind the other memory regions I've lost access to,' Maya assumed shortly after.

'I see…' Leon uttered disappointedly before he asked, 'How can I help you recover your impaired memories?'

'You should have seen how dim my heart was. A tremendous amount of divine energy is required to restore its former brilliance. Think of it as a dried river; the lack of water doesn't let it flow,' Maya replied.

'I see…' Leon's eyes flickered with understanding.

'It seems like this isn't a problem we can solve in one day. Unfortunately, this world doesn't have the amount of divine energy required for your recovery—unless we dismantle the hearts of other primordial artifacts,' Leon stated.

The Radiant Heaven Realmship had quite a lot of divine energy due to its sheer size.

However, the Radiant Heaven Realmship was crucial to interstellar traveling and leaving Planet Gaia. Thus, he had no intention of destroying it.

'Yeah, don't worry about it. It's not too late to restore my divine crystal heart's energy once you return to the Divine Realm,' Maya stated.

'Right,' Leon nodded.

Suddenly, Leon sensed a disturbance from the real world before he withdrew his consciousness from the Archive to check.

There, he found Aria and Darlene waiting for him.

"You collected everything?" Leon inquired.

"Mm," Aria nodded.

She quickly handed over two interspatial rings to Leon and said, "This is everything we could find in this ruin."

Shortly after Leon checked the inventory and scanned a copy of them for his Archive, he softly exclaimed, "Oh, this is quite a lot. Hopefully, we can find a few useful techniques among them."

"Mm, but it'll take time to translate all of these scriptures," Aria said dejectedly for not being able to help Leon with this matter.

"You don't have to worry about this matter," Leon stretched out his hand and rubbed Aria's head before saying, "It's not a big issue."

After all, he leaves all the translation work to Maya.

Shortly after returning their interspatial rings, Leon called to Darlene, "Come over here for a sec, Darlene."

After Darlene was called, she walked a few steps closer to Leon with a puzzled look, unsure of what he wanted.

But when Leon transmitted the Empyrean Void Body Law to her with a poke on the forehead, she was quickly rooted on the spot, stunned by the knowledge she received.

"This… This is Empyrean Infinite Void's Empyrean Void Body Law, right? When did you find this technique?" Darlene asked with a pleasant surprise.

"Just a short while ago," Leon answered with a smile.

Darlene blinked a few times as if she had just understood something.

"Is that why you look so tired? Did you exhaust all your mental strength to translate this technique for me?" Darlene asked with a slightly trembling voice, overwhelmed by her emotions.

"Ah…"

Leon was about to deny it, but then he quickly changed his mind.

He couldn't exactly tell them that his spiritual strength exhaustion was due to his dual cultivation with Maya.

"Yes… Yes, I did," Leon nodded.

The less he spoke about the matter; the happier everyone will be, probably. At the very least, he avoided opening the gates of hell.

While Darlene was embracing Leon, Maya transmitted her grumpy thoughts to him, 'You know I was the one that translated it, right?'

'Consider all the spiritual strength I've given you as payment for taking your credit, okay?' Leon replied wryly while trying to appease his artifact spirit.

After expending some efforts by making a few promises, he succeeded in appeasing her.

'Hmph,' Maya snorted, nonetheless.

She didn't care about the credit at all.

Her true goal was Leon's promises—not that he fulfilled his last one, which was to find her new stories to read.

'So when are you going to find me more novels to read?'

'Uh.. When I get back to the Human Domain…'

Leon replied awkwardly.
