Leonard Churchill gave a noncommittal laugh, “I can barely say I’ve started…”

“…”

Sophia Jones’s eyes flickered with surprise as she listened and felt reassured.

She was truly impressive…

She had watched Leonard Churchill growing up step by step, and that made her even more emotional.

The room in the Central Control Room wasn’t large, the door was shut tight, and there was no longer a sense of urgency.

Sophia’s injuries were already serious, and once her vigilance relaxed, her vitality and blood suddenly surged in chaos.

She couldn’t even maintain the Domain Armor of the Descending Gods, and the Holy Light around her body dissipated instantly, fully exposing her stunning figure to the air.

Leonard blinked.

Before him was a body that exuded a mature charm, breathtakingly beautiful.

Peachy peaks were full and clearly heavy, yet not showing any sign of sagging.

Proudly standing erect.

His gaze naturally traveled downward; her skin was delicate and fair, her thighs and buttocks round and firm, possessing the softness of a woman and also the explosive power of robust combat power…

The slight lingering Holy Light on her skin made her look like a goddess had descended, adding an aura of transcendent beauty.

Although it wasn’t the first time he had seen her like this, Leonard’s gaze lingered appreciatively for a natural extra moment.

Sophia was aware of his gaze but didn’t show any unusual reaction, remaining composed.

She didn’t feel offended, nor did she feel uncomfortable being naked.

It was not just because she had already been seen naked by him once during a bet at the Flood Gang long ago.

More importantly, her relationship with Leonard was no longer that of strangers.

Not only did they share a life-and-death kinship; they had the responsibilities entrusted by the Old Ancestor Vera Williams of the White Family; there was also the fate contract made when Leonard entrusted the Secret Box from the White Family ancestor to her…

Sophia didn’t see any need to be restrained by such small formalities, and it didn’t weigh on her mind at all.

This feeling was mutual; Leonard held deep respect and admiration from the bottom of his heart for Aunt Jones, who had helped him many times.

His appreciation was for the aesthetic of “beauty.”

There was not a trace of disrespectful intentions.

He could even look at her and very calmly say, “Aunt Jones has a great figure.”

It didn’t bother Sophia to be looked at a few times more, but she still felt this guy ought to restrain himself a bit.

Hearing the compliment, she glared at Leonard mildly and asked, “Aren’t you going to help me find some clothes instead of just looking?”

Previously, in order to escape being tracked, she had discarded all her possessions, including the Storage Ring.

Now she had nothing on her.

Leonard laughed, “Of course.”

In his Storage Ring, he always had an array of disguises and clothing for various occasions, and he found some women’s clothing that fit and handed it over.

Sophia put on the clothes, and the charming spring view was concealed.

The two of them then started to talk about serious matters.

Sophia said, “Going by what you’ve said, I might know why the White Family sacrificed so many people…”

“Oh?”

Upon hearing this, Leonard also looked at her with an inquisitive gaze.

After all, in order to find a way to break the situation, the most important thing was to know what the enemy truly intended to do.

Now, the motives of the White Family had become the biggest obstacle in his deductions.

Sophia Jones thought of something, her eyes misty as she spoke in a deep voice, “The people from the White Family are most likely here to find the ‘Lamp of Ten Thousand Immortals,’ one of the three supreme treasures of the Taron era.”

As she spoke, she paused, then revealed the reason, “The reason I came to find this relic was also to search for the exclusive supreme treasure of the God Stealer sequence.”

“…”

Leonard Churchill listened, deep in thought.

The Lamp of Ten Thousand Immortals?

Just by the name, it was clear that it was a formidable treasure.

Sophia continued, “This relic is also one of the ‘Secret Tombs’ of the Taron White Family. This place was once used for fostering the Immortal Aegis Animals. After the Great Catastrophe that led to the fall of the empire, those Immortal Aegis Animals dissipated… Moreover, the Lamp of Ten Thousand Immortals, apart from nurturing the Immortal Aegis Animals, can also preserve their remains, even if only a wisp of spirit remains. The people from the White Family sacrificed those tens of thousands of adventurers from the Southern Continent in hopes of rekindling the ancestral fire and see if they could allow the ancient Immortal Aegis Animals that dissipated here to recondense their immortal bodies…”

So that was it.

Hearing this, Leonard’s eyes narrowed slightly.

He had deduced this possibility before.

But having it confirmed by Sophia, he also felt that the situation was somehow more outrageous than he had anticipated.

After exchanging glances, Sophia also voiced some of Leonard’s current thoughts, “The God Stealer sequence is very special, and the Taron White Family once had not just one God Tier ‘Ancestral Spirit Immortal Aegis’. Even if only a dead spirit is condensed this time, with sufficient future ancestral worship, it could still possibly recover its former combat power…”

Leonard’s eyes twitched involuntarily.

Noah Wright had said before that the power of the White Family might be the greatest among the Federation’s five major Senators.

Now it seemed… it was far beyond the other four.

If the White Family were to find the ‘Lamp of Ten Thousand Immortals’ and gain recognition from those ancient Immortal Aegis Animals, coupled with the ancient inheritance, their power would skyrocket… it was unimaginable.

That was the meaning of heritage.

Leonard felt deeply moved, “No wonder…”

Their conversation had finally made clear to him the confidence behind the plan set by the White Family.

After the sacrifice and gaining the recognition of the ancient Immortal Aegis Animals, it might not be something a few Tier 7s could stop.

Accordingly, the situation for Sophia and Leonard was definitely not good.

For now, the presence of the Leech King and Heman and his people was holding things back, so it was not a concern.

But if the White Family were to free up their hands, even with Sophia here, the chance of survival for the two of them was extremely low.

Sophia, standing beside him, clearly guessed Leonard’s thoughts, “However, it’s not entirely hopeless. The White Family probably doesn’t have a Tier 7 yet, so for me, the threat isn’t too great.”

As she spoke, she glanced at Leonard, then continued, “Moreover, I am here for the same reason—to find the Lamp of Ten Thousand Immortals. They could gain the recognition of the Immortal Aegis Animals, and with my White Family bloodline, I can as well. If I can gain the recognition of some ‘Ancestral Spirit Immortal Aegis’, our situation would improve considerably…”

“Hmm.”

Leonard listened and nodded, his thoughts already whirling.

This conversation suddenly gave him hope of breaking through an otherwise hopeless situation.

Sophia had received the inheritance of the White Family Ancestor, so her strength and talent were exceptional.

Truly speaking, she had more right than any other member of the White Family to gain recognition from the ancient Immortal Aegis Animals.

There might still be a possibility of turning the tables.

But currently, the trouble for Sophia and Leonard was figuring out how to resolve the awkward situation of being trapped here.

With this in mind, Leonard turned his gaze to the Central Control Room they were in.

Aside from some instruments, there were also a large number of file cabinets.

His intuition told him that this room, which had been unvisited for thousands of years, might contain the most important truths of the entire research facility.
