284: You are such a goddess
After a long period of tedious and complex post-war processing, Aurora finally managed to spare some time from her busy schedule to fulfill the promise she had made.
"My Lady Goddess, I was really afraid you'd suddenly change your mind!" Lin Ye had been feeling uneasy these past few days, worried that Aurora would go back on her word and not honor her promise.
However, facing Lin Ye's slightly anxious and questioning words, Aurora merely rolled her eyes indifferently and responded ungraciously, "Who do you take this Goddess for? Since I promised to reward you, I naturally won't break my word! Besides, what I'm giving you are nothing more than some reproducible informational resources; they don't represent any substantial loss to me."
Thinking about it carefully, what she said made sense. It was precisely because of this that even though Lin Ye had only killed one weaker deity, he was still able to receive such a generous reward.
"As for the specific information about the Destiny Law inheritance… Ten thousand years from now, in the Wizard World's Reser Guard, the inheritance of the Destiny Wizard—Kiel—will manifest. Whether you can obtain this opportunity then will depend entirely on your own abilities~," Aurora revealed to Lin Ye with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Lin Ye quickly nodded, indicating that he understood. Then, he couldn't help but ponder to himself: Wizard World? How did Aurora come to know about this intelligence from another world?
However, when he recalled some rumors he had inadvertently overheard—it was said that this Goddess was very keen on adventuring and traveling to other different planes—Lin Ye instantly understood.
"Alright, as for the remaining four inheritance choices, I'll leave them for you to decide," Aurora said, gently waving her arm, as white as jade. Immediately after, an incredibly detailed list appeared before Lin Ye as if by magic.
On this list, there were more than forty inheritances densely arrayed. The vast majority were natural magic, which the Elf race excelled at, and various series of magic. Of course, there was also a small portion of various strange and rare inheritances, which were likely obtained by Aurora after slaying enemies or acquired by chance.
Lin Ye widened his eyes and began searching intently on the list, but unexpectedly, after searching the entire list, he was surprised to find that there wasn't a single one suitable for him!
What a loss! Lin Ye secretly complained in his heart, and at the same time, his gaze towards Aurora couldn't help but carry a hint of pity: this legendary Goddess was simply too stingy.
Seemingly sensing Lin Ye's unusual gaze, Aurora's delicate brows furrowed, and she said with some displeasure, "Hey, what kind of look is that? Are you perhaps thinking of something very impolite?"
Lin Ye's face flushed slightly, having his thoughts exposed on the spot, but his reaction was extremely quick. He immediately retorted, "Of course not, I hold the greatest respect for you, my great Lady Goddess."
While speaking against his true feelings, Lin Ye casually selected a Soul magic and three Star magic from the list—there was no other way, who could blame this Goddess for being so poor that she couldn't even produce another rare Law inheritance.
The Soul Law inheritance, he thought, must have been pilfered in some way during the fierce battles with the Spider Queen! After all, there's a saying: "The person who understands you best is often your enemy, and the best teacher is also your adversary."
"Here, take these. There are three drops of God-level Life Water here, which can allow a God-level being to perfectly recover stamina three times." Aurora just wanted to quickly get rid of this impolite person. She knew in her heart that this guy was definitely secretly criticizing and gossiping about her again. After Lin Ye casually took them, Aurora vanished like a phantom.
"This exquisite, elusive ability is actually not due to the Space Law," Lin Ye thought with envy.
But fortunately, he finally got what he wanted, otherwise he would have gone mad with jealousy.
Star Trail—a magical spell similar to teleportation, but its operating principle is completely different. It relies on the projection of stars; as long as there is starlight, one can arrive there.
Lin Ye pondered whether he could glean some useful knowledge from it to further enhance his displacement abilities.

"Have you heard? There was a huge explosion at the Imperial Court."
"I heard. It's said to be the work of the evil and ugly Spider Queen."
"How despicable. It's said the Spider Queen seduced many Elves into becoming Drow."
"Too despicable. This spider must be punished."
As expected, under official control, some of the truth was released.
This part of the truth covered up many things, but it also caused an earthquake in the eyes of the long-peaceful Elves.
The Demon Invasion couldn't cause them much harm, but now the Imperial Court had been bombed.
It must be said that Aurora still had a trick up her sleeve. To reduce losses, when the enemy attacked, she chose to pull the rug out from under them, launching a lightning strike on their headquarters.
This greatly avoided the damage caused when the opposing side fought to the death, protecting the populace.
Moreover, Aurora not only attacked one stronghold, she also contacted other Demon Gods in the Demon Realm and gave the Spider Queen a good beating.
There's no morality between Demon Gods; as long as the profit is sufficient, the Seventy-Two Demon Gods would destroy her.
The Spider Queen ran off to wander, wasn't this a good time to raid her home? So, the Spider Queen's good neighbors raided her stronghold, plundering it thoroughly and capturing many Drow.
Drow hold a position in hell no less than succubi; they are both symbols of pleasure and are very popular with demons.
When Lin Ye found out, he was terrified. Had he asked for too much? What if Aurora retaliated? When this honest person gets ruthless, he dares to do anything.
As for Elf Princess Yunai and the Imperial Court Guardian Delilah, after being restored by Aurora, due to extreme dereliction of duty, they caused irreparable losses. After discussions among the Elf upper echelons, it was decided to imprison them in the bitter cold northern region, to defend against attacks from the northern trolls for Life.
After their recovery, both cried bitterly and attempted suicide several times, hoping to atone for their sins with death. But what good would death do? The damage caused was already irreversible, and guarding the northern frontier could still serve a purpose. So, they both went to the northern frontier to serve their sentences.
As for the other Drow, their sentences were based on their transgressions during their time as Drow. The ringleaders were executed one by one, and criminals were not spared.
But if they were merely a bit promiscuous... The Elf Queen would even reward you handsomely.
How rare it is to become a Drow and not do evil! It seems only those with pure nature can resist the destructive urges inherent in Drow. And not only did they not do evil, they also spread seeds everywhere to increase the birth rate. They are truly talented people!
