Seeing Flora "alter" the transaction contents and enter the formal process, Tang Qi silently swallowed back the stiff words "It has nothing to do with you."

"My friend!"

The exceedingly brief words were uttered without mentioning the reincarnation of the Lord of Thorns, nor the name of Rafael.

Upon hearing this unbelievable relationship, Flora seemed to encounter something beyond belief.

For the first time, Their divinely beautiful face looked slightly stupefied.

They looked at Tang Qi, as if muttering:

"Mysterious, none of the 'Sovereigns' would become friends with an ordinary human, you…"

As Flora spoke, suddenly as if seeing something, Their brows furrowed slightly, and in Their enchanting, blood-red eyes, a glimmer of light that seemed to possess some kind of power flashed.

"You have the 'Source's' aura on you?"

"And, it's that kind of power, you... ah!"

A wail more painful than anything before abruptly echoed from Flora's mouth.

Within Their eyes, tragic Blood Tears flowed.

Those two originally somewhat subdued "Divine Sources" erupted in mania at this moment, with extreme Pollution infiltrating life and soul into madness once more, invading the last shred of "rationality" Flora had left.

Tang Qi's expression shifted as he raised his arm.

Snap! Snap! Snap!

The Truth Thorns lashed down repeatedly, making the tide of Pollution recede once more.

Yet during that process, Tang Qi sensed a vulnerability: the two Divine Sources, not yet fully merged and thoroughly contaminated, had almost reached some breaking point. If they went out of control once more, the Truth Thorns would not function again.

Flora, struggling to maintain rationality, clearly knew this too. They looked at the Human Wizard who "Anatomically Sliced" Them with a surprised, complex gaze.

Without explaining the recent incident, nor attempting any further probes, They softly said, "Wizard, I don't need you to assault Isapatra. You only need to take a Curio that remains after my fall."

"At some moment in the future, after Isapatra has fallen, seal Her soul into that Curio."

"I wish for Her to be with me forever, throughout eternity."

"It's that simple?"

Compared to the initial conditions, this seemed exceedingly easy.

"You think She will fall in the future? She is currently one of the Three Great Life Goddesses amongst the myriad spirits above the Mysterious, wielding the Divine Power of life."

Tang Qi's brows knit together, wondering aloud.

"Believe me, Wizard, She will fall. The 'Source' She has stolen is not complete, barely more than this bundle of mine. She will not stand against those two Goddesses, despite Her talent for deception, let alone…"

Towards the end, Flora's voice gradually trailed off, as if feeling the urgency of time. They then switched gears and continued:

"Just wait a bit longer; I will willingly give up everything."

"At that moment, my soul, self-will, Magic knowledge, Divine Power... they will be released together, hmm, and also that Pollution which can drive any Divine being mad, fallen, out of control."

"You will have one chance to reap everything you desire and to banish the Pollution."

...

"Wait? You don't need to sign a Contract with me?"

Hearing this, Tang Qi deliberately waited a few more seconds, yet did not hear Flora mention any Contract, and couldn't help asking.

No wisdom was needed to observe and realize.

Ever since that abrupt change earlier, Flora's attitude towards him had directly shifted.

No more probing, straight to the point.

And the "transaction" proposed seems to be offering Tang Qi an immense favor, virtually for nothing.

"Though Flora is a Weak God, She is still one of the All Spirits."

"I could already gain tremendous benefits by Anatomical Slicing Her, but if compared with what She's offering, it is inconceivably inferior."

"Just like the Life God who voluntarily gave up everything, the Divine Source that was once fully merged with Her can actually become unclaimed property. Tang Qi even suspects that including Isapatra, the Three Great Life Goddesses may have received the legacy of that nameless Life God."

"Now, does Flora intend to do the same? And She's not planning to sign a Contract with him."

"In other words, Tang Qi could reap the benefits and then not fulfill the corresponding obligations, without any consequences according to the rules of the Extraordinary World."

It's not just Tang Qi; any Transcendent beings with normal intelligence would be unable to help but suspect the existence of a conspiracy here.

Flora continues to look at Tang Qi with a complex gaze, hearing his surprise and confusion, the Goddess approaching Death suddenly reveals a smile from the depths of Her soul, after letting go of Her obsessions, so purely beautiful it moved one's heart.

She doesn't disguise Her smile and says with the tone of a coy young girl: "I believe in you!"

"..."

Tang Qi is somewhat speechless, somewhat perplexed. He really wants to say: "I don't even believe in myself."

Because Flora is close to Death, and Tang Qi is holding the Truth Thorns, and She's the only intelligent life form capable of communication, their statuses are drastically unequal, with Flora nearly always being "bullied" by Tang Qi.

But that does not mean Flora is truly at an absolute disadvantage. If She wished, She could completely prevent Tang Qi from gaining any benefits and make him pay a heavy price, merely by Self-Destruction.

Since She does not wish to explain those inexplicable matters, Tang Qi doesn't waste time questioning further.

His mind races, estimating the time left, and he promptly asks:

"How does one become one of the All Spirits?"

His first question is quickly asked, clearly considering Flora as a referential source of information.

"Choose a power, and surpass its limit, reach the End Point of that power."

Flora doesn't hold back, promptly responding.

It's as if She and Tang Qi have reached an understanding; they go straight into a rapid question and answer rhythm.

"Is the Promotion of all All Spirits the same?"

"No!"

"What is the relationship between a Divine being and Its kingdom? How to purify the Pollution of Divinity?"

Tang Qi asks two questions at once, struggling to suppress his desire for the "answers."

Flora appears not to notice. She only pauses for a moment, quickly providing an answer.

"Each Divine being's kingdom is different, mostly a projection of the Divine Power the Divine being holds, everything in the kingdom bears the 'characteristics' of the Source of that Divinity... hence, once there's a mutation in the Divine being itself, the kingdom will also project the same change... My friends once tried to reverse my Flora's Kingdom, to restore my sanity, but they failed."

As She answers this question, tears that can't be restrained flow from Flora's eyes, a profound aura of Sorrow permeates, but is soon deliberately reined in by Her, even on the brink of Death, She is still the Goddess of True Love, of the flesh and Desire.

Flora continues to look at Tang Qi, responding to the second question.

"Except for a few very special Divine beings, most of the All Spirits face 'Pollution'... Divine beings can purify themselves, or develop a large enough group of followers, the latter method, the Lord of Light is most successful."

"He has a vast number of Believers, from which He filters pure 'followers', granting them 'Light Power', the followers acting like extensions of the Divine being's Divinity and will, they purge Pollution while also strengthening the Divine being's power."

"I once had a number of powerful followers, but due to my Madness, they were all absorbed by me in the end."

After murmuring these words, Flora's face begins to twist, intermittently.

She does not wait for Tang Qi's next question, but looks at him again, this time, a clear sense of relief emerges in Her eyes, She seems to stop hiding Her amazement and curiosity toward Tang Qi.

The transcendent beauty in Her expression fades away, replaced by a sense of innocence like that of a passionate and unrestrained young girl, She calls out to Tang Qi:

"Mysterious Human Wizard, please prepare to receive my... everything!"
