My portable grandfather refreshes every week

If circumstances allowed, Xue's law would almost have let out a scream like a groundhog.

What's going on with Mom? Wasn't it said that there were serious problems with the warp lately, and that He wasn't allowed to continue retrieving things from there? How did Ishan suddenly appear?
Xue felt that his expression at this moment resembled that of the world-famous painting "The Scream".

Didn't he work with the God of Order to resolve the attack on the interstellar column and also retrace the path to becoming a king?
What did Mom suddenly pull out of warp space?
Wait, is your fishing spot in the warp related to the King? How did you manage to fish this thing out?

Is your fishing spot perhaps the hole in His Majesty's house?
At this moment, Xue Dinglu truly felt somewhat...terrified!
However, at this moment, Earth's consciousness discovered the doubts surrounding Xue's Law and its response was...

"I do not know!"

This was Mom's reply: "The last time I retrieved a corpse, I still managed to retrieve that mass of flesh and blood imbued with the consciousness of the God of Order. And it's not during the warp tide right now, so why would I go to retrieve it at this time?"

Xue Law: “?”

He immediately calmed down, because his mother's search for the subspace happened to be right after the meeting of the Mist Council.

The timing of the Mist Council coincides with the occurrence of the subspace tides, which is also the time when the Venerable King repairs the subspace barrier every seven days. Therefore, it is also the time when the apostles of the Mist Council absorb the power dissipated by the Venerable King.

Over time, this point in time became the time of the Mist Council.

The day after that, when the Venerable King repaired the subspace barrier, the subspace was at its most stable. Only then did my mother dare to reach over there and retrieve any treasures.

With good luck, you might find an extremely powerful treasure, one that could elevate the entire Earth. Even with bad luck, you might find some lonely ghosts from the depths of the subspace.

That's right, those "old men" who appeared in Xue's consciousness space were all things that Mom had recently salvaged.

Therefore, many elderly people who return home find that many years have passed since they came from their hometown. There's nothing they can do because their mothers had taken them out of the country a long time ago and kept them there.

However, there's absolutely no way Ishan could be rescued by her mother.

Whether it's not the time for the Venerable One to repair the subspace barrier, or whether Ishan died 40 billion years ago.

Xue Dinglu witnessed his death firsthand.

His body endured the ejection pod crash, the extreme cold, the raging winds, and the ravages of the cold from his severe injuries, all while being corroded by the magical energy constantly emanating from the Domini tree seed, all in the frigid winds of minus two hundred degrees Celsius.

He died before he found land, and his body became an ice sculpture in the ice field, gradually crumbling.

Because of his prolonged contact with the magic element, his soul actually separated from his body without him realizing it. In the end, he found the land and planted the Domini tree seeds.

Before Xue's eyes, this noble soul completely vanished into the sea of ​​flowers, perhaps ultimately swallowed by the vast void of the universe, transforming into its original, primordial state.

It's impossible for my mother to have traveled back 40 billion years and retrieved Ishan's soul back then, thus preserving it to this day, right?

It is estimated that Earth's consciousness was just beginning to take shape 40 billion years ago, and the concept of "planetary consciousness" only emerged after the birth of the King.

Essentially, planetary consciousness is also a phenomenon that simulates the concept of a supreme ruler.

"Could it be..." Xue's Law asked the Earth's consciousness...

"He found you, not I pulled you out," Earth's consciousness provided the answer.

Xue Law: "..."

This made him scratch his head, perhaps because he had the blood of hell on him, which was the flesh and blood of the former Lord of the Mist?

Or perhaps, it's because when he retraced the path of the King, the God of Order's ability to manipulate timelines was sometimes effective and sometimes not, and after talking with Ishan, he waited until now?

Xue Dinglu couldn't guess, but he still slowly walked towards the consciousness space and looked at Yishan, who was resting in the sea of ​​flowers.

He couldn't even imagine why a sea of ​​flowers could grow in his consciousness space.

The lighting here is determined by Schrödinger's Law. If Schrödinger's Law applies during the day, there will be a light source here; if Schrödinger's Law applies at night, it will be dark here.

In addition, there was originally no water in the consciousness space. Later, Xue's Law devoured the subspace of the Seventh Apostle, and water gradually appeared here.

Apart from the sacred tree, it is extremely difficult for any plant to grow here.

"Ishan, open your eyes..."

Xue's voice rang out.

The man lying wounded in the sea of ​​flowers seemed to finally regain consciousness. He opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was not Xue Lude, but the divine tree that seemed to cover the sky in his consciousness space.

He smiled and reached out his hand, as if to shake hands with the sacred tree.

"Am I asleep? Domini, is that you? Have you come to pick me up?" He looked at the sacred tree, a smile playing on his lips, as if he wanted to drift back to sleep.

Xue Law: "..."

He slowly walked into the sea of ​​flowers, came to the man, and said, "Wake up, Vice Captain, we still need to burn the last enemy to ashes!"

In that instant, Ishan suddenly woke up.

……

"Here's some black tea." Xue Dinglu raised his hand, and a werewolf-like golem brewed a cup of black tea.

Shaping magic originates from the evil eye in the fairy tale world.

"Hmm, thank you..." The battered man didn't complain. He silently accepted the cup of red tea. In this sea of ​​flowers, beneath him was a chair woven from the roots of the divine tree. They were right next to the divine tree. The man looked at the divine tree, his eyes gradually becoming dazed, and then a smile appeared on his face.

Ishan didn't know why he was here. In his memory, he planted the divine tree in the ground and watched it grow. Then, the last bit of its strength disappeared, and it seemed to fall into a deep sleep.

He had been in a very, very long sleep, and only now is he gradually waking up.

At the same time, Xue's law also discovered that Ishan was not as powerful as she had imagined.

According to her own classification, Ishan is Rank 0, just like an ordinary person on Earth who is absolutely forbidden from using magic.

This is also because, in his time, magic essence was still highly poisonous. Any creature that came into contact with magic essence would uncontrollably mutate and twist. It is perhaps a miracle of the universe that Ishan was able to survive until the end and that Domini was able to absorb magic essence.

Unlike now, magic essence has become spiritual particles, existing everywhere in the universe, and is the foundation of magic. All living beings essentially grow up immersed in magic essence from birth, exhibiting an absurdly strong adaptability to it. Those that could not adapt to spiritual particles have all become extinct.

As for Ishan, she still doesn't seem to be very compatible with the magic element. Perhaps this is true for all races of her era. Therefore, in the current system, although her rank is ridiculously high, her true strength...

It looks tough...

Even because she couldn't adapt to spirit particles, Ishan was unable to learn magic, which also ruined Xue's other plan.

Just as Xue was about to pour out his grievances and ask the old man for help in the war against the Lord of the Mist, Yishan spoke first.

"Has it already been 40 billion years?" Ishan looked at the divine tree. Perhaps in this era, this divine tree was the only old friend he knew, and a product of the same era as him.

"What will the United Front be like 40 billion years from now? Will it be able to bring together all races in the universe, without distinction, united as one, with any race and civilization becoming friends, showing compassion for the weak, helping each other, working together to build and make the world a more beautiful place?" Ishan asked the question again.

The last time, on the eve of the King's birth, when Ishan asked this question, Xue's Law replied: "It has already been achieved."

He lied because Ishan was dying at that time, so Xue Law decided to tell a white lie.

However, Xue's law now provides a completely different answer.

"Sorry, no..." Xue Dinglu took a sip of black tea and looked directly at the scarred man.

"After solving the Great Void, the United Front actually disintegrated, and a massive rebellion swept across the globe..."

"The war between organic and inorganic life, the war between different races... That great war completely shattered the United Front. Coupled with the gradual spread of magic essence throughout the universe, the United Front probably perished within a century. The survivors built a new civilization on the ruins..."

"At the same time, due to the expansion of magic energy, the technology left over from the United Front era is no longer suitable for high-concentration magic energy environments. All science and technology need to be redeveloped, and thus the most common technology in the world in high-magic-energy environments was born - magic guidance."

Xue's law explains it.

When Ishan heard that the United Front had disintegrated in just a century and was engaged in a destructive civil war, a trace of sadness appeared in her eyes.

But then, seemingly still clinging to a sliver of hope, he asked, "You know me, so you must know my daughter, right? How is she?"

Xue Law: "..."

This question, however, made him look even more troubled.

After racking his brains for a long time, Xue Dinglu still decided not to lie. Instead, he went directly to the system that the Great Sage had left him and extracted a copy of his memories.

That was his memory of reliving Fug's life with the God of Order, a life that Xue Law only glimpsed briefly.

Ishan silently looked at that memory.

Hours later, only sorrow remained in the eyes of the battered man.

He came to the sacred tree, reached out and touched it, speechless.

And the sacred tree seemed to be responding to him, the sea of ​​flowers growing larger and larger, almost completely covering the school.

Fugger spent her life creating new gods, and after her death, that obsession transformed into a distorted mist, which formed the "Mist Council." Based on the concepts of the Thirteenth Expedition members, it searched for and twisted the "Thirteen Apostles" in the world.

Their mission is to devour the King's favorites and draw upon their power to complete the distorted command to "create new gods to replace the old ones," thus beginning a catastrophe that will last for billions of years and spread throughout the universe.

The root of all this tragedy may lie within oneself.

“I’m sorry…” Ishan said.

Xue Law: "..."

"I'm sorry. If we had been stronger back then, perhaps there wouldn't have been so many tragedies in later generations, and the Mist and the Apostles wouldn't have been born..." Ishan seemed to be saying "I'm sorry" over and over again, self-blame and pain instantly covering the man's face.

He had always been like this, as if he took all the responsibility upon himself. When he was just a recorder on the United Front, he would always think that he was the one who caused the deaths of the fallen settlers when he was making records and assigning tasks to them.

Later, during his journey against the light, he even believed that everyone's death was due to his own incompetence.

He was a complete pessimist.

“You don’t need to keep saying sorry, ‘Sorry, sir.’” Xue Dinglu placed his hand on him and said, “I’ve always believed that one generation can only solve the problems of its own generation, and cannot solve all the problems for future generations.”

“Your generation has already sacrificed enough. Now it’s my generation’s turn to deal with this.”

Xue Dinglu smiled and said, "However, it would be best if you could help me and work with me to deal with the Lord of the Mist."

Ishan seemed comforted and nodded.

Even though this man is a pessimist, he has a kind of resilience; he's the kind of person who, no matter how pessimistic he is, will still go all the way to the end.

Xue Dinglu smiled, raised his fist, and said, "Don't you think this is killing the last trace of your daughter?"

Seeing Xue Dinglu's outstretched fist, Yishan seemed to understand what he wanted to say. She extended her fist and bumped it with his, then said, "The mist was just a mistake my daughter made..."

"Finally, I will help you fix this error..."

He seemed to have come to a realization, and this scarred man once again displayed his resilience, the resilience that would lead him to the altar with the tree seed even if the entire team perished.

It is as resilient as a sacred tree.

“Then you should have a Noble Phantasm. Even if you are not from this era, your great achievements should become a Noble Phantasm that belongs only to you.” Xue Dinglu said, like a teacher instructing an apprentice who has just entered the door of magic.

"A Noble Phantasm?" Ishan was stunned for a moment, then followed Xue's instructions to sense it. Sure enough, he sensed the Noble Phantasm that belonged to him.

At the same time, Xue Dinglu was even more stunned.

【Noble Phantasm: Journey Against the Light (???? Noble Phantasm): This is the highest-level Noble Phantasm born from the great feat of the 13th Expedition Team's journey against the light. It can summon the Fireseed Starship, the last ship of the 13th Expedition Team to travel against the light, and all the members on the starship. It can ignore any obstacles, attacks, curses, pain, distortions, and all other judgments, and travel to the destination to be reached.

Cost: The Noble Phantasm can only be activated once. Once activated, all members of the 13th Expedition, including Ishan, will be reduced to nothingness.

Xue Dinglu gasped in shock. (End of Chapter)
