The villainous prince who bullied Feng Aotian was actually myself.

Oh, what a pity.

Even if you have money, you still need to be alive to enjoy it!

Moreover, even if one becomes emperor, unless one goes all out and becomes a tyrant with beauties in his arms, there is simply no time to enjoy life due to the busy state affairs every day.

It's so tragic, so incredibly tragic.

That's it.

Leon felt these weren't things he should be thinking about right now; after all, becoming emperor... he felt his chances were slim. Leon didn't think he had any grand ambitions; he simply wanted to find a way to survive.

After taking a deep breath, Leon composed himself and refocused his attention on the prayer ceremony before him.

He carefully approached the candle. In order to be meticulous and show his respect for the goddess of justice, he did not casually use his talent to light the candle, but instead carefully took out a box of matches.

Before the world had mastered the technology of electricity, the use of electricity was limited to devices similar to the early Western "Leyden jar".

Therefore, the use of electricity, apart from magical attacks, is almost non-existent in daily life, making it impossible to produce something like a lighter.

With a lit match, Leon first lit the off-white candle representing faith, then the red candle representing love, and finally the gray candle representing salvation.

The candlelight burned naturally, and nothing strange happened.

Following the usual procedure, Leon then grasped the small silver dagger in his right hand and picked up the glass bottle containing essential oils that had been prepared beforehand with his left hand.

Call ~

After taking a deep breath, Leon adjusted his state again, and then, following the occult knowledge in his mind, officially began the ritual.

"Remember the solemn covenant of our God."

Leon recited the words of Guberly's poetry aloud, his tone ethereal, while at the same time he began to swing the silver dagger in his hand rhythmically, and occasionally dripped a few drops of essential oil from the glass bottle onto the candle flame.

At this moment, Leon is like a charlatan who cheats and deceives people, relying on "shamanistic rituals" to pretend to be a god or ghost.

As the essential oil evaporated rapidly in the candlelight, a wisp of white mist rose with a hissing sound. The only change Leon noticed was the tantalizing aroma of the essential oil.

"The most sacred being in the brilliant starry sky"

The Lord of Judgment, who holds the reins of justice and light.

An embodiment of honor and freedom

The great goddess of justice,

I am your most humble believer…

The ceremony continued, with Leon reciting the mandate of the goddess of justice in the verses of Guberly.

The most humble believer...

Uh……

Even Leon himself felt that this statement was hypocritical.

Oh well, I'll just follow the knowledge in the occult textbooks.

After all, the book doesn't say that you have to have unwavering faith in the goddess of justice to use this ritual; it's a universal prayer ritual.

"I beseech the goddess to have mercy on your faithful believers and bestow divine blessings upon them."

By the time the chanting reaches this point, the ceremony is essentially complete.

But... it seems like nothing happened?

Leon felt something was off, but he didn't leave. Instead, he continued to stand quietly in front of the candlelight.

The doors and windows in the laboratory were all tightly closed, and since it was a windowless basement level, there couldn't possibly be any "wind." However, Leon clearly saw that the flames of the three candles, which were burning naturally, began to flicker, and at a speed that became increasingly violently visible to the naked eye.

At the same time, Leon's spirituality seemed to be blocked by something, and he completely lost his perception of things a meter away, as if an invisible barrier had isolated all spiritual energy a meter away.

The ritual worked!

This is my first attempt to communicate with the gods.

Leon felt inexplicably nervous, but even more so, he was filled with anticipation.

Ps:

Chapter 88 Who are you?

Spirituality is restricted.

The surrounding air seemed to freeze.

The atmosphere was inexplicably somewhat oppressive.

Leon felt he had to exert more effort to breathe smoothly. Even worse, when he tried to take a deep breath, he found opening his mouth had suddenly become incredibly difficult, as if his body had been frozen in place.

At this moment, Leon felt as if he were being watched, as if a gaze was falling upon him from some unseen realm.

To describe it more realistically, it's like you're walking in a crowd and you feel like someone is watching you, but when you look around, you can't find out who's watching you, yet that feeling doesn't disappear.

This feeling was terrible, like a human observing an ant, and the ant being observed was Leon himself.

Based on knowledge from the occult, and combined with Leon's personal understanding and speculation, he felt that the "starry sky" where the gods resided might be an extremely high-dimensional world. By looking at the lower dimensions from the perspective of the higher dimensions, one could see the lower-dimensional beings clearly, but the lower-dimensional beings could never discover the higher-dimensional beings.

Because higher-dimensional beings exist in a direction that lower-dimensional beings cannot comprehend. This is similar to the difference between two-dimensional and three-dimensional space. Two-dimensional beings lack the sense of up and down, and can only move left, right, forward, and backward, even though they only need to look up to see the three-dimensional world.

The same applies to three-dimensional beings viewing the world beyond four dimensions. They are limited by the directions of front, back, left, right, up, and down. In fact, there are other directions besides front, back, left, right, up, and down. This direction is the key to discovering four dimensions. Discovering this direction is very simple for four-dimensional beings, but for three-dimensional beings, it may only require them to raise their heads like two-dimensional beings. However, they often cannot think of this aspect.

Therefore, Leon estimates that the so-called "starry sky" world must be something that transcends three dimensions.

While watching the anime, the show explained that the dimensions of the spirit world are chaotic, which is very similar to the "starry sky" world where gods exist. So, if Leon could enter the spirit world to take a look, he felt that his doubts might be answered.

However, without a demigod-like physique, entering the spirit world would either kill you or drive you insane.

Given Leon's current level, it's still too far-fetched for him to personally visit the Spirit Realm. Of course, it's not that he can't enter the Spirit Realm, unless he doesn't want to live anymore.

However, Leon doesn't seem to want to live!

Just as Leon was speculating, the flames of the three candles in front of him began to become illusory, and then countless dense particles became clear in his eyes.

At this moment, the scene before Leon's eyes is something most people have seen in real life. It's like sitting alone on a small stool under a shady tree on a scorching hot day. Through the gaps in the leaves, the dazzling sunlight shines in front of you. When you look at the sunlight, you will find that there are many beautiful specks of dust dancing in the air within that bright light. They are numerous, tiny, but dazzling.

However, the glittering specks here are clearly not dust particles dancing in the sunlight.

Starry sky!

Is this the starry sky?!

Leon suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

The records of mystical knowledge in my mind do not describe seeing such a scene when performing this ritual!

Unease, fear, and terror quickly fermented in Leon's heart; he had a feeling that he was about to face a great calamity.

But Leon quickly calmed himself down.

If something as absurd as time travel has happened to me, then what in this world is there that I simply cannot accept?

The more critical the moment, the more important it is to remain calm. Only by remaining calm can we think, and only by thinking can we solve problems. Boiling water, besides gurgling and raging in vain, will eventually evaporate.

The Hoyle family are emperors on earth, and the fact that the Goddess of Justice has become the deity with the most followers in the world is inseparable from the strong guidance and support of the imperial family.

So even if the Goddess of Justice isn't a benevolent deity, she should still be friendly to the imperial family, right?

Therefore, the goddess of justice shouldn't harm herself, right?

Uh, this...

Thinking of this, Leon was somewhat stunned.

I wonder if the gods are affected by the world line correction force. If they are, then I'll end up like Barbie Q!

This is a gamble!

Would the world's will give a villain destined to die a chance to win by luck?

Leon finally panicked and tried to kick over the candlestick to stop himself from establishing a connection with the "starry sky".

But he discovered that his body seemed to have long been unable to move.

That's it, this is probably the end for us.

Waaaaah, Helena, my darling!

Ugh, why did I even think of Helena?!

Perhaps it's because I've never been in a relationship! This is probably my biggest regret in life.

After all, back on Earth, Leon often envied those who had sweet campus romances.

Especially his roommate who slept opposite him, that awful playboy, who was just average-looking but a towering 1.8 meters tall, yet had countless women under his belt.

That's too much. Leon has lived for so many years and has never even held a girl's hand, so he shouldn't be talking about kissing, hugging, getting nucleic acid tests, or having his blood pressure checked.

Wait, I think I hugged Helena last time!

Ah, she's an absolute goddess!

I would die without regret!

Leon comforted himself with this thought until he was completely engulfed by the dazzling particles.

Aside from feeling lightheaded, I didn't experience any other substantial sensations.

Before Leon's eyes was nothing but emptiness; he could see neither anything that existed in reality nor anything that did not.

The surroundings were very bright, without a single shadow. Leon felt as if he were standing in pure light. He looked down at his sides and behind him, but found no shadows.

If it were light, then there should be shadows, so this can only mean that... this might not be ordinary light, but the light in Wang Wei's poem!

cough cough...

After a brief moment of self-deprecating humor, Leon quickly regained his serious demeanor.

He looked at the empty space in front of him, and there was nothing substantial under his feet to stand on. It seemed more like he was floating than standing.

This place clearly resembles another fantastical world that I cannot comprehend. Perhaps my soul has drifted out of my body and out of the laboratory?

Leon pondered this, but just then, a soft female voice suddenly came from the empty surroundings.

The woman's voice was very gentle, even carrying a hint of doubt and disbelief.

The language she spoke was neither Festering, nor Guberly, nor any other language Leon knew. The pronunciation of this language was magical, giving Leon a feeling of familiarity yet strangeness.

However, that's not the point. The point is that Leon seemed to have automatically deciphered the meaning behind her words.

"You're not Leon Hoyle, so who are you?"

Upon hearing this, Leon's heart trembled violently, and his body shook shuddered.

Chapter 89 Mystery

The sound had no direction, and Leon had no way of knowing which direction it came from.

But none of that matters anymore. What matters is that this guy seems to have discovered my secret?

Could the gods of this world possibly know that I am a time traveler?

If so,

So, is there a way for the gods to let me go back?

go back……

Go back to the land of foodies and continue being that college student who goes to get out of class on time every day, plays games when he has nothing to do, and wanders around looking at girls?

That's much better than being a villain destined to die here.

"She is... the Goddess of Justice, the Lord of Judgment?"

Leon spoke tentatively in Fchester.

"Yes."

The voice responded quickly, but it still used its own language.

This language is like the source of all languages; every time it is uttered, it has an extremely seductive feel, making one feel numb all over and unable to resist immersing oneself in it.

"He saw through it?"
