As for whether borrowing power would be detected by Azzik, Luo Lin had no need to worry, because the answer was no.

Only the Shadow of Time pulled by a medium would possess self-awareness and be known to the individual. Borrowing strength through favorability would not be detected by the individual.

"Next, I just need to continue deepening our relationship. However, with Azzik's situation, while initial favorability is easy to gain, it will take some effort to upgrade further. Fortunately, I have a trump card," Luo Lin's smile grew brighter as he thought of this.

Luo Lin's trump card naturally referred to using the Shadow of Time's abilities to summon Azzik's former children, allowing them to reunite briefly and thus increase Azzik's favorability.

However, Luo Lin wouldn't use this move lightly. It wasn't due to a lack of trust in Azzik, but rather the need to control the progress of Azzik's memory recovery. He didn't want to accidentally cause the latter to recover too much memory and suddenly transform into Death Consul mode, which would be problematic.

"It's a pity Klein isn't even a Beyonder yet. Otherwise, I could have borrowed some strength," Luo Lin lamented inwardly, but he wasn't discouraged. After all, with Klein's advancement speed, he would become a big shot in just a few years, and his potential was undoubtedly immense.

"Then, it's time to visit the Seer Club." Luo Lin canceled his borrowing of Azzik's abilities. After wandering around outside for a bit, he arrived at one of his safe houses. Then, after changing his appearance once more, he took a tram to the entrance of a Seer Club.

This was precisely the "Seer" club that Klein had joined in the original work. The reason Luo Lin came here was mainly for Hainess Fanenson, a member of the Aurora Order.

Of course, Luo Lin had no intention of eliminating Hainess Fanenson to prevent the upcoming Tingen crisis. Firstly, according to the timeline, Megose had likely already conceived the True Creator's offspring by this time, so killing Hainess Fanenson would be futile. Secondly, the culprits behind the Tingen incident were Ince and 008. Unless these two were dealt with, any other efforts would be useless.

The reason Luo Lin wanted to contact Hainess Fanenson was to see if the True Creator could discover his existence through his believers, and if so, what kind of attitude it would have.

Of course, the latter was the main point.

This would determine Luo Lin's subsequent strategy towards the True Creator and its affiliated organizations.

As for why Luo Lin didn't choose to contact Mr. A in Backlund, the reason was simple: at this stage, Luo Lin couldn't defeat Mr. A. If the latter had malicious intent, it would be difficult to escape.

Dealing with Hainess Fanenson was much simpler.

With this thought, Luo Lin entered the Seer Club. After efficiently registering and paying to join the Seer Club, he smiled and said, "Ms. Angelica, I had heard of Mr. Hainess Fanenson's great reputation long before I joined the club. I wonder if he is here today; I would like to have a divination session with him."

Angelica, who was at the front desk, wasn't too surprised by this. After all, Hainess Fanenson did have some fame in Tingen's divination circles. She immediately smiled and said, "Mr. Hainess Fanenson is currently teaching. It will be a while before he can perform a divination for you. However, if you're interested, you can sit in and even raise your hand to ask questions."

"Okay, thank you." Luo Lin politely thanked her and was led by Angelica to the conference hall, where he found a seat in a corner.

On the podium of the conference room, a middle-aged man wearing a classical black robe, with heavy dark circles under his eyes and distinctive hair, was meticulously explaining something.

Seeing a newcomer enter, Hainess Fanenson didn't stop his lecture. He merely nodded slightly at Luo Lin before continuing to eloquently explain the knowledge related to astrological divination.

At a certain moment, Luo Lin saw Hainess Fanenson slightly tilt his ear, as if listening to something, causing him to forget what he was saying.

This process lasted for three to four seconds. When the other students in the conference room couldn't help but show confused expressions, Hainess Fanenson seemed to snap back to reality, his expression indescribably fervent, but he quickly turned around to hide it.

However, before he turned, Luo Lin noticed that this member of the Aurora Order glanced at him. There was no malice in his eyes; instead, it was filled with intense heat.

Oh ho!

Luo Lin raised an eyebrow.

For the rest of the time, Hainess Fanenson's lecture speed noticeably increased. After he finished this class, not long after, Luo Lin met this member of the Aurora Order again in the white crystal divination room.

"My esteemed beneficiary, what instructions do you have? No matter what it is, Hainess Fanenson will surely complete it for you." As soon as Hainess Fanenson entered the room and closed the door, he knelt on one knee and said with fervent reverence.

Luo Lin was not surprised by this. He had already guessed that the True Creator would have such an attitude towards him. If the True Creator had memories of interacting with him, it would understand that he possessed a trump card that could lead to mutual destruction with the world, and could also summon its past self. With these trump cards, it was perfectly normal to try and win him over before knowing whether Luo Lin was good or bad for Earth.

Besides, for the True Creator, this was not a big deal. It might even be an opportunity to figure out Luo Lin's situation, a sure win-win.

However, he had to admit that even with his prior guesses, at the moment of confirmation, Luo Lin couldn't help but chuckle. He then picked up the black tea on the table and took a sip, saying indifferently, "I don't need you to do anything."

Then, he stood up and said, "Remember, you never saw me today."

Luo Lin had no intention of getting involved with Hainess Fanenson. The latter had fallen into 008's script early on and would eventually be targeted by the Tingen Nighthawks team. Luo Lin didn't want to bring trouble upon himself.

He was only here today to confirm the True Creator's attitude, nothing more.

As for the fact that Hainess Fanenson would die in a short while, what did that have to do with Luo Lin?

Luo Lin had no interest in saving a villain who had little value and little connection to him.

"Yes!" Hainess Fanenson was stunned. Although he was confused in his heart, he clearly dared not ask the divine beneficiary opposite him, "Then why did you come here?"

He simply lowered his head. After the person beside him left, after the door was closed, and after the footsteps disappeared, Hainess Fanenson finally looked up, let out a long sigh, and his expression was both fervent and confused. "Then why did my esteemed beneficiary come here? Could it be... could my esteemed beneficiary have come for the upcoming sacrifice?"

Regardless of what Hainess Fanenson thought, Luo Lin, who had left the Seer Club, changed his appearance once more and took a tram back to his rented apartment.
