The villainous young master just wants to live a Buddhist-like life.

　"Then, we'll temporarily disband and meet at the 'All-People Duel Club Branch' around dinner time."

　Professor Mitia waved her hand and then got back into the carriage and flew back to her dormitory.

　"See you tonight."

　At the fork in the road leading to the teachers' dormitory, Dark waved goodbye to Lily, Ollie, and Angry, and then headed to the tower of the Noble House with Aurora.

　The two crossed the bridge, greeted the long-unseen feathered serpent golem, and then pushed open the tower's doors.

　A cold wind was blowing outside, but it was warm and cozy inside.

　Dark saw Doron and the others playing in the common room, so he raised his hand to greet them.

　Duolong and the others were bored, and when they saw him return, they immediately surrounded him, vying to ask him where he had been these past few days.

　He laughed and said that he had gone back to the Free City with Aurora, briefly mentioned the monster siege that had been published in the newspaper, and then used the excuse of being tired from the journey to escape from the clutches of Doron and the others.

　Upon reaching the second floor, he said "goodbye" to Aurora again and continued on to the third floor.

　"Dong dong dong."

　On the third floor, in room 301, Dak subconsciously knocked on the door, then suddenly looked down and smiled.

　"There's no one inside."

　He then took out the key, unlocked the door, and entered.

　The familiar meowing sound did not come.

　After not seeing it for a few days, the dormitory looks empty, and I feel very uncomfortable.

　“Devimon, can you go and bring the cat grass back?” Dark asked.

　But Little Devimon, with his eyes half-closed and a dejected look on his face, said, "That will take a long time. After all, I can't even catch them..."

　As it was talking, it lay down on its little bed and stopped moving.

　Dark took off his hat, scarf, and gloves and hung them on a hanger, then summoned the Magic Book.

　The tireless "Magic Book" then began to repeatedly cast normal summoning spells.

　Amidst the buzzing sound, adorable magical sprites were awakened from their slumber and materialized one by one.

　Dak took out "Paradise," pondered for a moment, and then unfolded it in his dormitory.

　Then, using mindless Magical Spirit cards as sacrifices, several high-level Magical Spirits are summoned one by one.

　The once empty and spacious room quickly became crowded.

　He enjoyed the crowd and asked Leomon, Renamon, and Gatomon to retrieve the cat grass.

　Before leaving the academy, he entrusted several of the cat grass plants to a few girls for care.

　He first used the "access card" of the secret passage to contact Senior Pandora, then suddenly remembered that he had not prepared any local specialties, and his expression changed immediately.

　"Forget it, I'll just pluck a few scales from the 'Sun and Moon Serpent' and give them away later."

　"I wonder how Victor is doing? Did Demon King Number One successfully separate?"

　"And the 'Goddess of Wisdom'... isn't her name Ergane? I wonder how she is doing now? Has Professor Kazel successfully inscribed thought circuits into her?"

　"Ah, my own bed is still the most comfortable..."

　So Dark lay down on the bed and, like Little Devimon, remained motionless.

　……

　So when Diana and Rose knocked on the door with the cat grass in their arms, they saw a group of adorable little creatures lying motionless on the bed.

　The Gatomon that brought them couldn't help but frown.

　Dak couldn't stay on the bed for very long.

　When Diana and Rose knocked and entered, he quickly went to greet them, exchanged greetings, and then took the "insect tree" that he had entrusted to Rose from Tailmon's hands, and put it back inside the railing on the balcony.

　Then, he took the "bunny grass" from Rose's hands and held it on his knees, stroking it for a while.

　As for the "bear grass" in Diana's hand... to be honest, he wasn't very familiar with it.

　"Alright, we're here to listen to a story. Don't just keep touching that little rabbit's head, touch the little bear too... Ah! Sisi, why are you scratching me!"

　"I'll tickle you, I'll tickle you!"

　I always feel more energetic whenever I see Diana.

　Dak shook his head and then slowly recounted the events that had occurred after he arrived in the Free City, picking out a few things he could talk about, like telling a story.

　In fact, besides Diana and Rose, many magical elves were also listening intently.

　Midway through the conversation, Dark captured "Foxfire," who was playing with the little Guhuoniao, and introduced this new magical creature to them.

　Diana and Rose were both very curious about this "foxheart fire".

　Darke held out his finger, gesturing for them to look, and then used the "magic fire" technique to condense a magical fire at his fingertip.

　"Fox Heart Fire" immediately moved closer and licked his fingers indiscriminately—in short, licking the magical fire dry.

　Diana and Rose exchanged a glance and immediately followed suit, also conjuring a small flame of magic at their fingertips, attracting the "Foxheart Flame" to eagerly lick it.

　Laughter filled the dormitory.

　……

　Before long, all the cat grass was gathered in dormitory room 301.

　Dark hadn't gathered them together in a long time, so he patiently watered them one by one with a magic potion.

　Along with the two cat grasses that Leomon had entrusted to Pandora, he also brought back a letter.

　Dak found a corner to open it, but the letter contained only casual words and greetings.

　He flicked the "access card" in his hand, and was immediately puzzled.

　But after thinking about it, I realized it wasn't a big deal.

　It's like being so close yet chatting on QQ, or having QQ but communicating through letters, euphemistically called pen pals.

　Although it looks strange, it is actually a very common behavior.

　"I'll write a letter later about what happened during this holiday, and then have Little Devimon deliver it."

　With that thought in mind, Dark continued talking with Diana and Rose.

　This lecture lasted until noon.

　Dark led a massive army of magical elves into the long-missed cafeteria.

　The students hadn't seen this group of magical elves for a long time, and they were quite nostalgic when they saw them again. Along the way, there were people everywhere who wanted to feed them.

　Dak greeted the halfling chefs and sat down to eat, carrying a full plate of dishes.

　Diana and Rose were still asking for details, and they were particularly interested in his adventures in the temple.

　Midway through the meal, Katrina and Britney arrived, and the members of the Fantastic Beasts Club had a brief reunion in the cafeteria.

　Dak did his best to select what he could say, and he didn't mention a single word about the temple.

　……

　After lunch, Dark had completely regained his sense of being in the academy.

　He smiled and said goodbye to the two senior students, then returned to his dormitory to continue talking about the temple with Diana and Rose.

　It wasn't until 2 PM that Dark finally saw the two clingy little devils out of the dormitory, then sat down at his desk to write a reply, and finally handed the reply to Little Devimon.

　At 3 PM, Dark entered Traveler's Street without stopping and arrived at the "All-People Duel Club Branch" ahead of time. Ollie, Angry, and Eve were already waiting for him inside.

　He entered the inner room with the others, set up a barrier to block out sound, and then Eve used "Spiritual Connection" to connect with Irene.

　On the other side appeared Claire and Aylvit, who had been waiting for a long time!

　“This is a matter of great importance, young master. Please explain in as much detail as possible,” Ollie said earnestly to Dark in front of the Duke.

　Dak's expression turned serious, his playful demeanor vanished, and he summoned the "Soul of the Moon Goddess" to his side. He then recounted in detail everything that had happened since entering the secret passage.

　The story progresses from the "Sun-Devouring Lion" and the "Moon-Eating Wolf" to the "God of Blazing Flame and Rising Sun" and the "God of Frost and Eternal Moon".

　The story begins with the "Soul of the Moon Goddess," then moves on to the Temple of the Moon, and finally to the origin of divinity and the reshaping of divine status.

　The story begins with those "snake eyes," then moves on to the "God Guardians," and finally to the "Oil Snake." It then discusses the dreamlike realm of the gods, and the divine domain and the "Sun and Moon Giant Serpent" within it.

　When Dak speaks earnestly, his speech flows smoothly and his emotions are so rich that it makes the listener feel as if they are there, as if he is describing an epic film.

　However, if his temple exploration journey were made into a movie, it would definitely have a strong blockbuster feel.

　Claire and Aylvit listened very attentively, especially the latter, who wanted to remember every single detail.

　As the story came to a close, Aylvit exclaimed, "A two-day, one-night journey actually involved four gods and an ancient being even more terrifying than the gods. Even Claire's Travelogue wouldn't dare to write something like this."

　“After all, that’s hard to believe,” Claire Kate smiled, taking a sip of her red wine. “Based on your description, the giant serpent with the sun and moon in its eyes should also be a god, and one that achieved godhood in its physical form, which is why its divine body is immortal and can exist for ten thousand years. The two lions and the wolf most likely obtained their divine status through the serpent god’s body, thus also achieving godhood in their physical form. As for that ‘oil serpent,’ it’s probably not far from achieving godhood. If it really shows affection for Aurora, you must make sure Aurora learns the art of serpent control!”

　Aylvie nodded, saying, "If Aurora can master the method to control that 'oil serpent,' the City of Freedom can also find protection in the future when the gods revive, and live a peaceful life in its corner."

　Claire said, "Don't think that just because we can take care of it from a distance now, it will be left to fend for itself once the prophecy comes true and we are too busy to take care of ourselves."

　"As for the matter of the Moon Goddess," said Alvitt, "I will immediately order our maid corps to make finding the Ancient Temple of the Moon their top priority. However, regarding the creation of an item capable of extracting and preserving 'Original Divinity,' I hope you can contact Professor Kazel; we will pay him accordingly."

　Claire then emphasized, "Your 'Soul of the Moon Goddess' was completed in the first half of last year, so we won't hold you accountable for revealing it so late. If you find anything similar, report it immediately! The actions from various forces have been increasing recently, and we may not have much time left. Also, now that you're back at school, let's resume the experiments on 'Netherworld Fire' starting today."

　Dark nodded in agreement and immediately summoned the "Coffin of Death," instructing it to go find Josie and Nana to forage for food.

　Seeing his good attitude, Claire said, "As for the improvements to 'Paradise' that you mentioned, I'll find some time to go back to the school and take a look myself. Until then, do your best in your research. Finally, well done!"

　Dark laughed, "Do you even need to say it?"

　……

　At 5:00, after explaining everything, Dak ended the remote communication with the Duke's mansion.

　Professor Sylph, Professor Lily, and others arrived one after another after that.

　Dark also saw Professor Kazel for the first time in a long time, and Ergani, the "Goddess of Wisdom," following closely behind him!

　The "God of Wisdom" had shimmering golden hair, a beautiful face, and features so exquisite that she seemed to have stepped out of a painting.

　But her eyes were cold and her face was expressionless, much like an intelligent machine.

　Professor Cazell, however, said with some concern, “I only inscribed some simple thought circuits on her. But as expected of the ‘God of Wisdom,’ even without consciousness attached to her soul, she can still exhibit rich sensitivity. If this continues, I worry that she will spontaneously generate a new consciousness. If that new consciousness resonates with the traces of consciousness it left in the network of rules, then this matter may be beyond our control. Therefore, your experiment on endowing her with intelligence must begin as soon as possible!”

　Dark nodded and said, "We can start whenever we want."

　Professor Cazell then decisively said, "Then let's do it tomorrow."

　Then he changed the subject and said, "Complete this experiment as quickly as possible, because we still need to study those two snakes, don't we?"

　It seems he already knows about the existence of the "Oil Serpent" and the "Sun and Moon Giant Serpent".

　Dark nodded in agreement, then looked at Vit Gold, who had come with Ophelia, and whispered, "Has Vit Gold's second consciousness separated?"

　Professor Cazell said, not particularly concerned, "It's not separated yet, but progress is good. Professor Harvey and Sister Kallian have found the entry point, and I believe they will be able to completely separate it soon. Well, speaking of which, I hope they can get it done before our experiment is finished, so that we can take over another experiment."

　Duck: "What experiment?"

　Professor Kazel: "The 'Demon King' is forged."

　……

Chapter 785

　Around 5:30, everyone who was supposed to arrive had arrived.

　Professor Sylph had booked a private room at a bar called "Secret Outpost" in Traveler's Street well in advance.

　This bar is secretly very famous and is one of the few places in Travellers Street where you can stay overnight.

　However, it does not openly receive students.

　Students must be accompanied by a professor or obtain permission from the dean to enter the "secret base".

　Therefore, many professors like to have a drink or two at this "secret hideout" after a day of teaching.

　And the "secret base" truly lives up to its name, ensuring that the professors' drunken antics will never be exposed... cough cough, this is very important!

　In short, tonight's gathering will take place at the "secret hideout".

　However, Professor Sylph's scheduled time is from 6 pm to midnight, so there is still some time.
