Chapter 959 Chasing Immortality
Fitted mini thigh-high white bases and a thin piece of lion cloth on both sides emphasized her strong legs. Complemented by knee-high leather boots reinforced with steel and metallic greaves, a wide leather belt with multiple pouches and a cutlass hook hanging at her waist, a hooded white cloth with golden and silver embellishments on its edges, alongside the blue mask hanging from her belt, which appeared to have a similar design to Orion\'s.
All these elements enhanced her formidable physique, and she was heavily enchanted, evident from the immense pressure she could sense around her. Isadora\'s eyes widened in surprise and amazement as she had never seen Fifi dressed this way before, realizing how much of a legendary warrior Fifi looked like.
"Ahem! Miss Isadora, I have some urgent matters to attend to, and I\'m sure you have your own tasks as well," Orion said, drawing her attention back to the present.
Upon hearing Orion\'s words, Isadora nodded swiftly. "I\'ve heard about the significant progress you\'ve made in just a few hours, so as your assistant, I\'m here to offer my help," she replied.
"Alright, I want you to accompany Queen Selene to the Prismerian\'s royal manor and guide the individuals she has chosen to the Garden. Since she\'ll be occupied, Aurora will grant you access," Orion instructed, recognizing that this approach would efficiently deliver the intended message without unnecessary back-and-forth trips.
Isadora nodded curiously. Although she was intrigued by the purpose of the gathering, she understood that it wasn\'t her place to inquire further, so she simply nodded in acknowledgement.
"Queen Selene and the others will join you shortly, so feel free to wait for them here," Orion added before leaving the building, disappearing in a flash of lightning.
With Orion gone, Isadora couldn\'t contain her curiosity any longer. She approached Fifi and Reena to inquire about their recent trip. Despite her respect for them as the Village Chieftess and one of the powerful figures in the Village, her close relationship with them developed through her role as Orion\'s assistant.

Village Chief\'s Compound
"This is truly unexpected. It\'s good that I\'m already retired and only have to think about the Village now. With you handling these issues, I have no reason to worry about the results," former Village Chief Brane said.
As he reflected, he realized Orion had always managed affairs outside the Village. This realization didn\'t make him unhappy; instead, it relieved him, further assuring him that there was no need to worry about their future activities with the outside world.
"I\'ll do my best not to disappoint you," Orion responded. "I also wanted to know how the preparation for the awakening is coming along," he asked swiftly, considering that Gina\'s Awakening Ceremony was only a few days away.
Given that his exploration was supposed to take place during that period and could last for months or even years, he wanted to ensure there were no issues since he would now stay on the floating island for the time being.
"Everything has been prepared, but we won\'t know for sure if there are any issues with the Pillar until the day of the ceremony. The Pillar has been used to protect the floating island instead of Aegis of the Arctic Deity\'s Divine protection. On that day, either the Ethereal Tree will bloom once more and grant us the opportunity to awaken our gift, or it won\'t," former Village Chief Brane explained.
"I know you might want to think ahead about this, but the best thing you can do is wait until that day and focus solely on the Runaway Cities first. If the Ethereal Tree doesn\'t bloom, I\'ve already thought about how to prevent chaos from erupting in the Village."
Hearing former Village Chief Brane\'s words, Orion furrowed his brows and nodded. "Okay, I won\'t dwell on it too much. However, if anything happens before then, let me know immediately."
Despite former Village Chief Brane\'s words, Orion knew he couldn\'t let him handle such a crucial task alone, especially when it involved the gods and Primordial energy.
He pushed the thought aside, intending to ponder the issue further and inform Aerialia about it. With Gina\'s awakening ceremony this year, Orion knew he had to devise a solution to avoid her disappointment.
As Orion was about to stand up to leave, he noticed that former Village Chief Brane had something to say but was holding himself back.
"What is it?" Orion asked, raising an eyebrow.
"I know this might seem shameful for you to hear, but as I near the end of my lifespan, with every new development in this territory, I want to live and see how everything turns out. Therefore, in your dealings with the outside world, I would greatly appreciate it if you could uncover a method to extend my life. Vylkrspawns, gods, demi-gods, divine apostles—if all these beings exist, there must be a way to accomplish such a feat," Former Village Chief Brane said.
Orion nodded firmly. "You don\'t need to be ashamed of saying such words. I completely understand your desire to live longer. I want the same thing."
Former Village Chief Brane was stunned. "You too?!" he stuttered.
"There\'s no need to be shocked. After all, I\'m still young, with a few more centuries ahead of me. However, I don\'t think that will be enough to explore every inch of this world and uncover its secrets. Therefore, it\'s only reasonable to search for a method to extend my life," Orion responded with a smile.
He had already discussed this matter with Aeralia, and all the solutions she possessed required her to regain her body, which was currently not feasible. Other options included gaining the acknowledgement of the Divine Mysteries and stepping into genuine godhood or becoming a divine apostle, which would require subservience to a god.
