He only now realized that he had been set up from the start. Originally, he planned to play for a while longer before returning to the hotel but immediately went back after Old Deng reminded him that the earthquake would give him some minor trouble.
And it was precisely because of Old Deng's influence that he ended up on the buried tram and encountered a landslide.
This was all Old Deng's conspiracy!
The Xue Dili trying to change the future just bumped into the future landslide.
You prophets have dirty hearts.
"Heh, I consider myself to have helped the future you, yet you don't appreciate it." The Great Sage continued to smile sinisterly, as if teasing his own grandson.
"What else have you seen, you scoundrel? Riddler, get off Blue Star!" Xue Dili kept holding his head, as if he were being punished.
"Can't say, can't say, saying it will change the future again." Old Deng's head stretched out his hand, seemingly wanting to knock three times on Xue Dili's head, but Xue Dili deftly avoided it.
"You think I'm a monkey?" Xue Dili dodged the hand, ignored Old Deng, and started rubbing Holy Light to heal himself.
"Alright, no more joking with you. Earlier you told me, can that Undead General release teleportation magic in your consciousness space?" The Great Sage's expression returned to the serious manner of an old scholar.
The dilapidated lion in Xue Dili's pupils also disappeared, returning to seriousness.
"Isn't this quite normal? Old Barak is at least Legendary Level, although he's not a professional Magic Singer, isn't it quite normal for him to release a Teleportation Gate?" Xue Dili asked the Great Sage.
"Then I need to check if you've been paying attention in class. I mentioned before, according to the rank division, what level is Legendary Level?"
"Tier Three." Xue Dili subconsciously said.
"Then let me tell you, a Teleportation Gate is a Tier Three technique, while a Teleportation Gate that can cross worlds is a Tier Four technique, what do you think about this?" The Great Sage suddenly said.
Xue Dili's brain instantly overloaded, he realized something was amiss.
Although the old undead is Legendary Level, his main job is a Holy Knight. Even though a Holy Knight counts as half a Magic Singer, the old undead's magic level definitely isn't at Legendary Level, probably only Hero Level, which is Tier Two.
He's risked his life against the Witch Demon King and knows how troublesome a Tier Three Magic Singer is. In terms of magic proficiency, the old undead is not even a tenth as skilled as the Witch Demon King.
So how did he open the Teleportation Gate?
Seeing that Xue Dili seemed to have realized the problem, the Great Sage tapped Xue Dili's head three times with his magic staff as if finally satisfied: "So, the Teleportation Gate isn't actually the ability of that Undead General, it's yours. He just discovered that you had this capability, and then used it."
"Huh?" A question mark appeared over Xue Dili's head.
What's this riddle now?
"After all, your consciousness space is actually quite miraculous, even I haven't fully grasped this space-time power, I can only use it simply." At this time, the Great Sage no longer played the riddler, but said, "In fact, maybe even before that Undead General arrived, you had already been watched by World Consciousness, which is why you have this space."
"Me?" Xue Dili pointed at himself.
"Yes, maybe you have some kind of mission you must complete, who knows?" The Great Sage knocked and hit the system he built again.
Earlier when he tapped, he knocked out a translation module, now who knows what other new ideas he has to upgrade his system a bit.
"You go to sleep first, I'll add some more features for you." The Great Sage said.
"Oh."
In the consciousness space, only the old man was left tinkering with the system, don't know what he's constructing...
...
Xue Dili started dreaming again.
In the familiar dream, a swarming tide of insects invaded, and the short-haired girl in front of him died.
This scene repeated dozens of times, repeated until he became numb.
Suddenly, the scene changed, Xue Dili saw... the cosmos!
He was in a spaceship, looking at a blue planet.
"Sorry, you're the last survivor of this planet, now the planet will be exterminated. Take one last look at your home star."
The boy in the image stared hard at his planet, then the next moment, light pierced the planet, the whole planet began to break apart, collapse, turning into countless pieces...
The scene ended here.
Then, he entered another dream.
It was a world plagued with diseases, the Great Sage should be in his forties at this time, he was gathering the few survivors on this plagued planet, teaching them how to deal with the plague.
In the next dream, it was a world covered in ice and snow, the Great Sage should be over a hundred years old then, Xue Dili saw him lead survivors to establish city-states, building a few shelters in this cold wave...
Dreams flashed before his eyes rapidly, but the more he knew, the more puzzled Xue Dili became.
He could see less and less through the old man.
These dreams completely broke the impression that he previously thought the old man was a "revenge seeker", in future dreams, the old man was always in extremely harsh environments, helping the survivors.
Suddenly, at this moment, the dream completely shattered.
Xue Dili felt like his consciousness was pulled into an endless abyss.
"Help me..."
Suddenly a voice echoed in the dream.
"?"
Xue Dili was puzzled, but his thinking ability in the dream was as if in a state of light sleep, half-dream and half-awake.
"Help me..."
The dream vanished, Xue Dili only felt he had entered a warm embrace.
That embrace was like a mother's warmth, making one indulge in it, Xue Dili's consciousness completely sank into deep sleep.
"Help me... my child..."
The ethereal voice, finally said.
...
Ding-ling-ling!
The alarm rang, Xue Dili jumped up in a carp flip, he looked at his phone, it was 3 AM.
He felt refreshed, as if he had taken a long bath and put on new underwear, no longer feeling the previous exhaustion.
"What are you waking up at 3 for?" The Great Sage in the consciousness space asked.
"Didn't you knock my head three times to make me wake to discuss something at three?" Xue Dili asked the Great Sage in astonishment, eyes wide.
"Then I apologize, I'm just used to knocking the heads of those stupid students of mine." The Great Sage casually replied.
Xue Dili: "..."
His head started to hurt again, the kind that radiates through his skull.
Yesterday, seemed like he dreamt of a lot...
The dreams gradually began to resurface in his mind, he remembered seeing other memories of Old Deng, his home star exploded, and then all of the memories were about him rescuing other survivors...
And at the end, that inexplicable voice...
Xue Dili finally realized something was wrong, he planned to discuss these matters with Old Deng.
Arriving at the consciousness space, Old Deng seemed to be building a door, it looked almost finished.
"Hmm? I'm still busy here, don't mess around, shoo! Shoo!" The Great Sage was shooing, looking disdainfully.
"No, I now have something serious I want to chat with you about." Xue Dili looked at the Great Sage, still fixing the door, sat down on the ground without care.
"Speak."
"I had a dream, dreaming of someone constantly asking for my help." Xue Dili echoed, though he really couldn't see the appearance of the one asking for help, the voice seemed like a female synthetic voice, without any clues.
If it was in the past, this might have been just a dream, but now that he's entered the ranks of the extraordinary, he wouldn't think it was merely a simple dream.
More like, someone is reaching out to him through his ability.
"Hmm? Explain in detail." The Great Sage's hands didn't stop, but he started listening attentively.
Xue Dili recounted his feelings at that time in detail, he had no reservations, after all, he had seen a lot of Old Deng's memories already, not necessary to be shy about this.
But as he listened, the Great Sage's hands stopped working, his expression became increasingly serious: "Tell me in detail, if that voice is a person, what kind of person do you think it is?"
"What kind of person?" Xue Dili recalled the feeling from the dream, felt only warmth and comfort, he involuntarily said, "That's a woman who could be my mother..."
