    Orion had just revealed to Lily the true nature of Ste''s identity as his past life contracted beast. Lily had been surprised to learn this, but she quickly regained herposure and waited to hear what Orion would say next.


    Orion took a deep breath before continuing. "Now that you know the truth about Ste, it''s time for us to take the next step," he said, his tone serious.


    Lily''s heart skipped a beat. She had a feeling that whatever Orion had in mind was going to be significant. "What do you mean?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.


    Orion looked at Ste, who nodded in agreement. "We have been preparing you for this moment for the past three years," he said. "It''s time for you to undergo the same transformation that I did when I first contracted with Ste."


    Lily''s eyes widened in surprise. "Transformation? What kind of transformation?" she asked, her mind racing with possibilities.


    Orion took a moment to collect his thoughts before answering. "It''s kind of like body tempering," he said, "but on a much greater scale. The process will elevate your cultivation level to that of a King Realm Cultivator."


    Lily''s heart skipped a beat at the mention of the King Realm. She knew that it was the highest level of cultivation that one could reach, and only a select few were able to achieve it. "But what about the pain?" she asked, her voice shaking slightly.


    She had heard stories about the excruciating pain that came with body tempering and was hesitant to undergo it herself.


    Orion''s expression softened. "I won''t lie to you, Lily. The pain will be intense, but the rewards will be worth it," he said. "And we will be there with you every step of the way."


    Ste then spoke up, her voice gentle but firm. "That is why we have been training you for three years for this moment, Lily," she said. "We wanted to make sure you were ready and strong enough to endure the transformation."


    Lily looked at Ste, grateful for the reassurance. She knew that Ste and Orion had always had her best interests at heart, but the thought of undergoing such a transformation was still daunting.


    Orion nodded in agreement with Ste''s words. "We have seen your progress over the past three years, and we know that you are capable of undergoing the transformation," he said. "But ultimately, the decision is yours."


    Lily took a deep breath, her mind racing with thoughts and emotions. She knew that bing a King Realm Cultivator was a rare and powerful opportunity, but the thought of enduring intense pain was still scary.


    Orion could sense her hesitation and ced aforting hand on her shoulder. "Take some time to think it over, Lily. We understand that this is a big decision," he said. "We will be here for you no matter what you decide."


    With those words, Orion and Ste left the room, leaving Lily to contemte her options. She knew that this decision would affect the rest of her life and that there was no going back once she made up her mind.
