Chapter 361: Ten Thousand Years Ago, Space-Time Travel, Let's Go!
For Aisen, the reason for this idea was mainly due to two considerations.
On one hand, Aisen was primarily concerned about his own safety. After all, he couldn't just stand on the street and travel through Time back to the past, could he?
You see, he had tried it before, and once he stayed in the past for more than 5 hours, the backlash of Time upon returning to the present would fall on him.
Of course, he didn't need to fear the backlash of Time on him. But the backlash still had a certain impact on his thinking. And this impact could cause him to experience a period of daze.
Therefore, staying in a safe place was clearly more suitable.
As for the other aspect, it involved some of the dangers of Time Travel.
You see, ever since he merged with the Miracle Trait of Time Travel and gained the ability to travel through Time, Aisen had anticipated that this world would definitely be repeatedly traveled through and messed with by himself.
With a cautious attitude, although he had already broken the iron rule that one cannot stay in the past for more than 5 hours during Time Travel, he did not want to break another iron rule - meeting his past self.
Therefore, to avoid traveling through Time back to the past and encountering his past self, or a him who traveled from a certain point in the future, or a him who lived from the past all the way to the future, he had to think ahead.
Simply put, he had to record the departure points and times of his previous Space-Time Travels and keep good records in the future to avoid collisions during the next Time Travel.
As for whether to plan the activity trajectory of each Time Travel back to the past to avoid multiple selves interacting.
To be honest, this is necessary after 1972. But before that, due to not being the same Space-Time, it was not necessary.
So, where should Aisen choose to stay before proceeding with Time Travel?
After a moment of contemplation, he looked up at his surroundings and noticed that a ray of sunlight had somehow shone through the window, adding a bit of brightness to the dim room.
After stepping forward and closing the window, Aisen's eyes suddenly lit up. Because he suddenly realized that performing Time Travel directly in the dormitory here at Zhengyi School was very suitable at the moment.
Clearly, as a teacher's dormitory at Zhengyi School, this place was special enough for Aisen, belonging to a relatively private and safe location.
After all, his goal was to travel through Space-Time back ten thousand years ago and live until the present moment, directly accumulating Miracle Traits through this method.
This also meant that if he eventually returned, he only needed to return to this dormitory and connect the time loop.
"Good, this way, it's quite suitable!" After figuring it out, a smile bloomed on Aisen's face.
Clap clap--
Before Aisen could make his next move, a series of shuffling footsteps entered his ears from outside the window. Focusing his attention slightly, a scene was immediately relayed to Aisen's eyes: Harry and the other three were strolling towards his dormitory.
Did they need something? After this doubt flashed through his mind, Aisen dismissed the relayed scene and stepped forward to open the door directly.
"Professor!" Seemingly surprised that Aisen had opened the door in advance, Harry and the others greeted him.
"What is it? Is something wrong?" Seeing that they didn't speak, Aisen was immediately curious.
"It's nothing major, the school just issued a notice that they will hold a flying competition on the 12th of this month--" Hanna spoke up first and directly stated the matter.
"Flying competition?" Aisen's eyes showed a hint of understanding, "So that means there's still a week until the competition starts. What is it, are you all planning to sign up?"
"Malfoy and I want to participate, but the flying competition only allows students above the fifth grade to sign up!" Harry said, a hint of hesitation on his face.
"Only students above the fifth grade are allowed to sign up, which means this competition has a certain degree of danger. Since there is danger, Zhengyi School's arrangement is reasonable!" Aisen's gaze swept over the few of them, looking at Harry meaningfully.
"Harry means, we are first-year students now, Professor, do you think the school would allow them to participate if they apply?" Padma didn't hesitate at all and spoke her mind directly.
"Ah, yes, you have been transferred to the first year." Aisen's mouth curved up, then he changed the subject, "Have you consulted with Teacher Zhang Mingwen?"
"Uh, not yet!" Harry said, his expression becoming awkward.
"Then you can consult with him first. I imagine, given your special circumstances, they should agree." Aisen spread his hands helplessly.
They came to ask him about such a small matter, he was truly a bit speechless.
"Professor, they mean for you to talk to Teacher Zhang." Hanna was straightforward, pointing to Harry and Malfoybeside her.
"Alright, alright, I'll go talk to him." Aisen said, shaking his head and smiling, "Let's go, let's go together!"
He took the hesitant and slightly embarrassed group to find Zhang Mingwen, and after just stating his purpose, the other party agreed without much thought.
During the conversation, Aisen learned that originally, the school's arrangement was indeed that only students above the fifth grade could sign up, but Harry and the other exchange students were implicitly considered eligible to sign up due to their age.
Previously, Li Hao, the Qimen Dunjia teacher at Zhengyi School, had told him about the flying competition. At that time, he knew that the flying competition was held annually at Zhengyi School.
However, Aisen did not delve deeper, only thinking that the flying competition was just a competitive event for the students at this school, the purpose of which was to allow the participating students to fly to their heart's content.
It was only through his conversation with Zhang Mingwen this time that he learned that this annual flying competition was actually related to the selection of Quidditch team members.
On one hand, after becoming fifth-year students, the students at Zhengyi School had achieved a certain level of proficiency in artifact crafting.
Among them, some students could modify the flying props they prepared, and then they could showcase their results by signing up for the flying competition.
After the flying competition ended, the teachers would grade each student. This grading included not only the participating students' flying talent but also their methods of modifying flying props.
If a student's modification of flying props was excellent or creative, they would be recommended by the school to intern at some companies upon graduation.
For example, Jindouyun Company, which Aisen had heard Zhang Mingwen mention before.
Therefore, a portion of the students who signed up for the flying competition each year at Zhengyi School were actually participating with this purpose in mind.
On the other hand, it was closely related to the Quidditchcompetition that had become popular at Zhengyi Schoolin recent years.
Although Quidditch had not been popular here for a long time, after research, the teachers at this school unanimously agreed that the players' flying talent was quite important in Quidditch matches.
Therefore, the annual flying competition also served the purpose of allowing fifth-year students to fully display their flying talent.
This way, in the grading by the teachers after the competition, students with high scores in flying talent would find it easier to be selected for the Quidditch team.
After a conversation, Aisen summarized that there were only two reasons why students above the fifth grade applied to participate.
One was to showcase their artifact crafting skills, and the other was purely to enter the Quidditch team by showcasing their flying talent.
When saying goodbye to Zhang Mingwen, Aisen looked at Harry and Malfoy with a teasing gaze.
"Professor, is something wrong?" Harry, who had just been somewhat embarrassed, showed a puzzled expression after seeing Aisen's gaze.
"I remember you said last time that you seemed to have applied to join the Quidditch team here!" Aisen withdrew his gaze and smiled, "Since you are already a Quidditchplayer here, is it still necessary to participate in the flying competition?"
"Although Teacher Zhang did agree to let me join the school's Quidditch team, I still want to try it out in the flying competition." Harry said, a glint flashing in his eyes.
"Oh? Planning to show the teachers your flying talent so they won't think you got into the team through the back door?" As if guessing Harry's intention, Aisen teased.
"That's partly the reason!" Harry scratched his head, "And partly, I really want to warm up for this flying competition. It's been a long time since I rode a broom!"
"What about you, Malfoy? Did you also apply to join the school's Quidditch team like Harry?" Aisen nodded slightly and looked at Malfoy next to him.
"No! I just want to participate in the flying competition here." Malfoy shook his head. From his calm expression, it seemed he was telling the truth.
Tsk tsk—, ever since his father was locked up in Azkaban, he seems to have become a different person!
Hmm? Could he have been transmigrated and possessed by someone?
Suddenly, a thought popped into his mind, making him involuntarily start sizing up the other person. But immediately after, Aisen seemed to think of something, smiled, and shook his head, clearing the thought from his mind.
Whether he was transmigrated or not, it didn't seem like a big deal. Anyway, as long as it didn't affect him, it was fine.
After parting ways with the others, Aisen returned to his dormitory.
...
Sitting on the chair in front of his desk, Aisen took a deep breath, preparing for Space-Time Travel.
However, as the moment approached, he suddenly felt a little nervous.
To be honest, traveling through Space-Time back ten thousand years, a time span of this magnitude, gave him a thrilling feeling like walking on the edge of a cliff.
"I wonder what the Earth was like ten thousand years ago? At that time, had human civilization begun to develop?" After muttering to himself, Aisen smiled.
However, since he was going back ten thousand years, he had to make some preparations in advance.
Immediately, Aisen entered the Dream World and came to the solidified spaceship behind a certain asteroid belt outside the Solar System.
In the luxury suite, on the desk next to a spacious bed, the reproduced the book of aisen lay quietly in the center.
Next to it were two time boxes: one was a time option box for querying Chat Group data, and the other displayed the time in the real world, with the time on it ticking by second by second.
With a thought, a fifteen-digit timer appeared on the wall to Aisen's left.
Above the last two digits of the timer box, the character for "second" was engraved. Then, extrapolating forward, labels such as "minute", "hour", "day", "month", and "year" were engraved respectively.
Clearly, the purpose of him creating this thing was for timing. He planned to start timing the moment he returned to ten thousand years ago.
At that time, by looking at this timer, he would know how many years he had "slept" in the past.
Of course, the time box on the desktop that was synchronized with the real world's time would have to be stopped when he returned to ten thousand years ago. Otherwise, it would cause some interference for him.
Opening his eyes and returning to the real world, Aisencalmed his slightly fluctuating emotions, then focused his attention and activated the Time Great Power within his body.
Whoosh—
In an instant, Aisen's vision darkened, and then as if falling into an illusion, he entered a silent, lightless, and extremely quiet world.
Darkness, disillusionment, all sorts of thoughts surfaced in his mind.
At this moment, he felt as if he had entered a Space-Time tunnel, existing outside of time, completely unable to feel the passage of time. He didn't know if it was because the time span of this travel was long enough, but Aisen felt as if he had been in this environment for a very long time.
However, before he could savor this unique feeling, his vision suddenly brightened, and upon closer inspection, he had already entered a different Space-Time.
Instantly casting a Disillusionment Charm on himself, he then entered the Dream World to start the timer, while simultaneously pausing the timer in the time box on the desk.
After completing these actions, Aisen had time to survey his current surroundings.
But upon surveying, he was immediately struck by a sense of awe.
He saw that the place he was in showed no trace of Zhengyi School at all; located in a valley, various lush and thriving trees intertwined, desperately climbing towards the sky.
Sunlight filtered through the dense branches and leaves, scattering onto the ground, which was covered by layers of fallen leaves, shimmering with mottled light and shadow. As the breeze blew, a rustling sound would be heard.
At the same time, the chirping of insects and birds intertwined with the sound of gurgling streams and the roars of unknown wild beasts, never ceasing.
Roar—
A huge roar came out, and a four-legged beast covered in fur with eyes as large as copper bells darted out from the woods nearby, stirring up a ripple of green.
Before Aisen could get a good look, another giant green python darted out from the woods, quickly slithered to the side of the stream, spat out a ball of fiery red fire, which exploded a large fish with green-gray scales from within, and then swallowed it in one gulp.
Suddenly, a small figure darting through the woods caught Aisen's attention.
It was a strange beast covered in fiery red fluff. Of course, what was eye-catching was not the color of its fur, but the fact that it actually had nine long tails.
"Is this the Nine-tailed Fox recorded in the Shan Hai Jing (Classic of Mountains and Seas)?" Aisen widened his eyes and muttered.
Deep within the primitive natural valley and jungle, one strange beast after another appeared in his field of vision, making him feel dazzled.
Chirp chirp—
A sharp but not piercing sound rang out, and Aisenimmediately looked up, only to find a large bird with fiery red wings flying across the sky.
The shape of the large bird was not particularly remarkable, but every time its wings flapped, sparks would fall from the edges of the wings.
He didn't know what it was, but if he had to force a comparison, he could only say it bore some resemblance to the Bi Fang recorded in the Shan Hai Jing (Classic of Mountains and Seas).
Howl—
Aisen suddenly turned his head to look in another direction in the valley. Through the remaining gaps obscured by branches and leaves, he saw a large tiger with colorful patterns on its body running wildly.
God's Perspective was immediately opened, projecting its figure into his mind, and Aisen instantly saw its full appearance.
This—it seems very similar to the magical creature Zouwu in the movies from my previous life's memory!
With a shift in his gaze, Aisen projected everything within a five-mile radius into his mind, and immediately discovered the presence of magical creatures living in the jungle, valleys, caves, and various other places.
"Good heavens, so many magical creatures! If I brought Newt Scamander to this era, he would go crazy!" After closing God's Perspective, Aisen couldn't help but exclaim.
However, after exclaiming, Aisen suddenly thought of a question: with so many types of magical creatures in this world, how did humans develop civilization?
You see, in his previous life, human civilization developed smoothly because of the use of intelligence and tools. But in this world, even if humans were highly intelligent and could use tools, they probably wouldn't be able to solve the threats posed by various magical creatures.
What? There is the power of magic in this world! Oh, then it's fine.
Perhaps some of the ancestors of humans in the Stone Age were already born with the ability to use magic. Uh, maybe humans at that time were just one type of "magical creature".
Thinking of this, Aisen couldn't help but laugh.
In any case, with the factor of magic, it is probably only natural for humans in this world to develop the same civilization.
However, seeing so many magical creatures appearing in this valley and jungle, he still felt it was a bit of a pity. Because in later eras, many magical creatures went extinct.
Wait—
Speaking of animal extinction, is it possible that the dinosaurs that went extinct sixty-five million years ago were also a type of magical creature? At this moment, an interesting idea suddenly appeared in Aisen's mind.
Uh, after thinking about it, Aisen suddenly felt that this possibility was quite high.
After all, if dinosaurs were magical creatures, then it is very reasonable that they were once the overlords of the Earth, right?
So, as magical creatures, if the magical environment on Earth changed, the extinction of dinosaurs would also make sense, right (chuckles)?
"What a pity!" Aisen cleared the scattered thoughts from his mind and couldn't help but shake his head, "I can't travel back to sixty-five million years ago, otherwise I would really want to witness the truth of the dinosaur extinction!"
Chapter 362: Preparations from Ten Thousand Years Ago
After letting his thoughts wander for a while, Aisenbegan to think.
Although he planned to enter the Dream World with his consciousness upon arriving on Earth ten thousand years ago and sleep until ten thousand years later, now that he was here, it would be a pity not to experience the scenery of this era.
As for his plan, delaying it by a few days was no big deal.
With that thought, Aisen smiled and began walking along the right bank of the clear river, heading downstream towards the mountain foot.
However, there was no path along the bank; instead, thick green grass grew there. If he weren't a Witch of absolute strength now, he would likely find it difficult to walk.
Strolling slowly downstream along the creek, he encountered various magical creatures along the way, and occasionally found clusters of precious herbs among the tripping clumps of grass.
After more than ten minutes, rounding a small bay where the rock wall jutted out, a channel branched diagonally ahead, splitting the creek into two streams, and the water spread out there.
When he reached the foot of the mountain, Aisen looked at the vast, boundless green wilderness and suddenly realized.
At this time, ten thousand years ago in prehistory, traces of human activity were almost negligible. Therefore, various cities, roads, and buildings basically did not exist.
Recalling some things he had learned before, he truly felt how powerful the force of Space-Time was, and at the same time, how insignificant humanity was to the entire world.
The existence of humans on Earth can be traced back tens of millions of years, and throughout this evolutionary history spanning tens of millions of years, they have faced too many crises.
In this time period, the total human population on the entire Earth is only about a few million. Moreover, they are scattered across the globe, struggling to survive in the form of tribes.
Don't look at the human population being counted in millions at this time; it's possible that at some point in history, they were reduced to only a few thousand members.
Fortunately, in this era, human tribes in various regions have entered the Neolithic Age. It is precisely because of this that humanity was able to survive and human civilization was able to develop.
After pausing for a moment, Aisen stopped his internal musings.
Putting everything else aside, due to the extremely scarce traces of human activity in this era, the environment and air quality here are exceptionally rare. It can be said that later generations simply cannot compare to this place; if not for not wanting to endure a solitary life, he would even want to settle down here.
But clearly, this was unrealistic for him.
...
Over the next few days, Aisen traveled all over the Earth.
It was at this time that he discovered Earth was still in the stage of temperature recovery after the end of the Ice Age.
Based on his observations, a large part of the entire northeastern region of East Asia was still covered by glaciers. In this environment, apart from occasionally seeing some magical creatures, no life could survive here.
As for the central regions further south, land and soil could be vaguely seen, but only the more southern basins, with their slightly warmer and humid environment, could provide favorable conditions for agriculture and survival for humans of this era.
During this time, Aisen occasionally saw human tribes of this era in some places. Their appearance was basically no different from humans of later generations.
Of course, perhaps due to being exposed to the wind and sun year-round, they all looked very gaunt. However, perhaps because they were skilled at traveling and hunting, each of them appeared exceptionally strong.
Among them, most people carried sharpened wooden spears and slings made from tough animal hides. Some also carried long clubs polished from the leg bones of wild beasts.
It was clear that the weapons in their hands were made for dealing with wild beasts.
However, what surprised Aisen was that he also saw traces of Witches among the various human tribes. Well, perhaps they couldn't exactly be called Witches. It could only be said that some of them might have mastered a part of a Witch's power.
But Aisen observed that their use of power was extremely rudimentary. When dealing with relatively powerful wild beasts or magical creatures, they would cast flames to fight or drive them away.
However, when he saw an exceptionally mighty white giant tiger in a human tribe, he knew one thing. That is, the relationship between humans and magical creatures in this era was not simply one of unfamiliar confrontation.
At that time, the people of that tribe encountered a very troublesome tree in the mountain forest. Aisen wasn't sure what the specific name of that tree was, only that it should be somewhat similar to the Whomping Willow, and would actively attack once disturbed.
The large tree hung down many branches, quietly hidden in the forest like a willow, disguising itself. When someone from the crowd passed by, one person was tightly entangled.
The person in the crowd who possessed extraordinary power struggled greatly but couldn't break the branches to rescue the person. Finally, that person "communicated" with the white fierce tiger for a while, seemingly convincing it.
Immediately after, the white tiger pounced, leaping onto the head of the entangled person. Its limbs rose up, surrounded by gusts of wind. As if carrying sharp wind blades, the branches hanging from the tree were very cleanly cut to pieces.
After that person was rescued, a woman in the crowd quickly picked green grass from the bushes, then crushed it with a stone and applied it to him.
This situation greatly surprised Aisen. After all, if he wasn't mistaken, the work this woman was doing was clearly the kind of work only doctors in later generations would do.
However, upon second thought, he understood.
In the end, magical elements exist in this world. Since some extraordinary powers appear among human tribes, it makes sense that certain plant herbs would be discovered to have healing functions.
However, considering this, with magical creatures as human helpers and the ability to discover the healing effects of various herbs, he no longer found it strange that humans could survive in this world.
Of course, Aisen wasn't saying that with these conditions, human survival in this era was foolproof. But at the very least, living conditions weren't as difficult as he had imagined.
Furthermore, based on what he observed during this period, the relationship between the various human tribes and magical creatures was not formed in a short time; it must have been maintained for a considerable period.
Looking at it this way, perhaps in earlier human history, maybe hundreds of thousands of years ago, maybe tens of thousands of years ago, humans at that time discovered how to interact with magical creatures and become friends with them.
Of course, what Aisen could foresee was that it must have been a very difficult process.
Take that white giant tiger, for example; perhaps in the past, humans sacrificed many tribe members in order to observe its habits, understand its diet, and interact with it.
Just by thinking for a moment about the various tragic situations and every step of struggling for survival during that time, Aisen could understand how difficult it truly was.
Fortunately, the wisdom of humanity's ancestors should not be underestimated.
After establishing good relations with magical creatures, with their help, the pressure of human survival in this world would indeed be significantly reduced.
Perhaps it was precisely for this reason that the human tribes he found in this world had very limited living areas.
In other words, there were no signs of migration.
Of course, Aisen could also understand this.
After all, the extremely cold climate on Earth had ended, and without the threat of natural disasters, what human tribes should do most is develop and grow stronger.
And in fact, human development was just as he said. After entering the Neolithic Age and without the threat of external disasters, humanity entered a period of rapid civilizational development.
Two thousand years later, civilizations in various regions of humanity gradually developed. When the tribal era ended and human tribes grew to a certain extent, slave societies began.
Then, through development, they entered feudal society, and continued until the era where Aisen resided.
But if one thinks carefully, they will find that the speed of human civilizational development is not balanced.
For example, slave society and feudal society lasted for thousands of years, but the speed of civilizational development wasn't very fast. In contrast, after the start of the Industrial Revolution, the speed of human civilizational development expanded violently, as if exploding.
Of course, Aisen had no interest in delving deeply into this issue.
He merely sighed that humanity had truly found the right direction for development, which is why it bloomed with such exceptional brilliance. It could even be said that in the future, it is not impossible for human footprints to spread throughout the universe.
Therefore, whether it was his previous life or this life, he felt that the appearance of humankind, on the cosmic scale, seemed like a miracle among miracles.
But then again, where exactly did the origin of magic in this world come from?
Standing on the summit of Mount Everest, when Aisenoverlooked the entire world, he couldn't help but think of this question.
Gently stroking with his hand, his fingertips touching the biting cold wind, he could feel that the magicenvironment of the entire world was not much different compared to later generations.
With a thought, a silver light shimmered on his fingertips, and magic characters were outlined one by one. Subsequently, the magic characters combined and arranged, then transformed into runes and continuously piled up.
With another thought, he continued to flick his fingers, and the runes turned into a breeze swirling around his fingertips. Then, a streak of crimson light suddenly emerged, a ball of flame shot into it, constantly leaping with the wind.
In an instant, the wind fueled the fire, and the fire moved with the wind, as if a continuously leaping fire sprite appeared on Aisen's fingertips, causing the air to twist and burn.
Immediately after, the flame integrated with the whirlwind changed, directly transforming into a pool of clear water that slightly trembled. Then his will shifted, and the clear water swirling around his fingertips quickly changed into a streak of reddish-white lightning, and then transformed back into a breeze that dissipated into the world.
Having finished his little movements, Aisen knew that casting spells in this era was not a problem for him.
However, unfortunately, the matter of the origin of magicdidn't seem to be something he could explore at the moment.
"Forget it, forget it, why think so much? Let's think about where to sleep next!" Shaking his head, Aisen cleared his mind of distracting thoughts.
That's right, he had wandered around this world, seen the scenery, and it was time to get down to business.
Currently, for Aisen, the most important thing was to find a suitable location to hide himself and then sleep until ten thousand years later.
As for a suitable location, he felt it had to be at least sufficiently hidden.
Because only if it's hidden enough will he not be found.
For example, if he directly found a place somewhere in Asia or Europe and buried himself. While this might seem like he could sleep peacefully, there's no guarantee that someone wouldn't just dig him out!
After all, the first few thousand years might be fine, but after entering the Industrial Revolution era, the rapid expansion of human activity range is no joke.
Therefore, he must find a place that has not been covered by human footprints until the era he lived in.
So, what kind of place should he choose?
As Aisen pondered, he inadvertently lowered his head and saw the snow-covered mountaintop, and a slight smile appeared on his face.
It was only then that he realized that the summit of Mount Everest where he was currently staying was a very suitable location! One must know that as the world's highest peak, Mount Everest was a place inaccessible to humans for a very long time.
At the very least, before 1950, it was a place inaccessible to humans.
Furthermore, even if humans successively ascended Mount Everest later, it wouldn't matter much to Aisen. Because his idea was to directly hollow out a "Space" within the summit of Mount Everest to use as his sleeping place.
This way, even if someone truly ascended Mount Everest, they probably wouldn't imagine that there was a person hidden inside the mountain at the summit. Therefore, it wouldn't have any impact on Aisen.
However, just as Aisen was about to use Transfigurationto sink himself from the summit, he suddenly thought of a problem that forced him to stop his actions.
In fact, he was right, the summit of Mount Everest was indeed a place inaccessible to ordinary humans in this world. But the problem is, this world doesn't just have ordinary people, there are also Witches who possess extraordinary power!
Ordinary people being unable to reach the summit of Mount Everest doesn't mean Witches can't reach the summit of Mount Everest!
In the records of the Muggle World, the first time humans ascended the summit of Mount Everest was on May 29, 1953. But the question is, there are no relevant records of when Witches ascended the summit, or if any Witches have ascended.
What? You say Witches wouldn't ascend the summit of Mount Everest? Aisen wasn't sure about this.
After all, if someone in the Wizarding World suddenly had a whim and wanted to test the performance of the flying broomstick they made, ascending Mount Everestwasn't impossible, right?
Since ascending Mount Everest is possible, then after standing on the summit, feeling the heroic spirit of looking down on all the mountains, it's not impossible to cast a spell to blast off the summit in a moment of excitement, right?
Therefore, directly hollowing out a Space within the mountain at the summit of Mount Everest to use as a sleeping place was not very appropriate for Aisen.
But if he doesn't choose this, where should he choose? Should he dive into the Mariana Trench?
The formation time of the Mariana Trench is very old, said to have formed sixty million years ago, and indeed, until later generations, no humans were able to operate there.
From this perspective, the Mariana Trench is more suitable for Aisen to hide.
What? You say there are Witches who are idle and go exploring in the Mariana Trench? Uh—, yes, there is indeed such a possibility!
Good heavens, is there no place on the entire Earth where he can sleep peacefully for ten thousand years?
As his thoughts surged, Aisen looked up at the sky with a speechless expression.
Huh—
Looking at the sky, he seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
Previously, when he conducted Space-Time travel experiments, he seemed to have experimented on the Moon once. Now, since he feels unable to find a stable place to hide on Earth, why not simply hide on another planet?
Thinking this, Aisen immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
But forget about the Moon, since he had already tried it on the Moon last time, this time he would simply choose Mars.
Land on Mars, dig a hole and bury himself, then wake up on time after ten thousand years—tsk tsk, a perfect plan! Done!
After figuring it out, Aisen's figure flashed, transforming into light and flying towards the horizon.
Then, in an instant, another streak of light flashed, and his figure appeared on the summit of Mount Everest.
This doesn't mean Aisen abandoned his plan, but rather he suddenly thought of something.
Previously, Aisen had the intention of traveling through Space-Time to spread his "god name" in various parallel Space-Time, especially after planning to research the true laplace's demon, he wanted to spread the reputation of "omniscient" and "omnipotent."
On the one hand, he wanted to try through this method to see if he could obtain the so-called power of faith. On the other hand, he wanted to try to see if he could take a shortcut to "become a god" and seize authority.
If it worked, it would be a good thing for Aisen. If it didn't work at all, it wouldn't really matter much to him.
But now that he had come to ten thousand years ago, and a parallel Space-Time at that, leaving his mark in this world and spreading his "god name" was just a matter of convenience.
Because he thought of this matter, Aisen came back.
...
Next, Aisen didn't waste any time and directly left some of his "marks" in various regions around the globe where civilizations and rivers would later be born.
For example, directly carving some "creation myth" paintings on a certain rock wall, leaving his personal image holding the book of aisen, and carving his commonly used "∞" mark, and so on.
To ensure that these "marks" could withstand the test of time and be passed down, he also cast spells to reinforce them.
Thus, through this method, Aisen was confident in inserting the mythology he fabricated into this world. As for whether he would truly be regarded as the "creator god" by the people of this world in the future, that was hard to say.
However, in his opinion, the possibility was quite high.
As for whether to extend the power of the contract he had made with the book of aisen to a certain object, and then differentiate his memory body onto it, leaving it in this world as a means of "manifestation."
Aisen thought about it and decided to abandon this idea for now.
Because his strength had not yet reached the level of controlling everything like a laplace's demon, he truly couldn't do things like "manifesting" across worlds.
After finishing the matter, Aisen didn't stay any longer, but directly transformed into light and flew, rushing out of Earth and arriving on Mars.
Chapter 363: "Slumber" and Unexpected Events
The moment he landed on the surface of Mars, Aisenknew that "barren" was the most fitting word to describe this place.
Looking around, he saw the red-colored ground beneath his feet. The horizon in the distance seemed to be shrouded in stirred-up dust, appearing hazy and gray.
He wasn't surprised by this.
After all, most of the Martian surface is desert, so it's not strange that it's constantly covered by dust storms.
However, the severity of the environment on the surface of Mars can only be truly appreciated after experiencing it firsthand, revealing how harsh it is. Putting aside other things, just the atmospheric composition here is not something ordinary people could survive in.
Although Mars has an atmosphere, its density is very thin, only one percent of Earth's. And ninety percent of this one percent atmosphere is carbon dioxide.
Fortunately, Aisen already had the Energy Absorptionrunes inscribed on him, allowing him to continuously absorb external energy into his body.
Looking around and truly seeing how bad the environment on Mars was, he couldn't help but recall a news report he had seen in his previous life.
Aisen felt very complicated after reading that news report at the time.
It said that a Dutch company called "Mars One" launched a plan to immigrate to Mars and recruited volunteers globally.
If certain people were selected, they would be sent to Mars by the company to become the first batch of immigrants, and it was a one-way trip.
Anyone with a normal brain would know this plan was a pure scam. However, this plan actually received two hundred thousand applications, and critically, many people paid the application fee.
At the time, seeing this news, Aisen felt very complicated and didn't know what to say. Because anyone with a discerning eye knew that the technology to land on Marswas only achievable by a few countries in the world at that time.
And that was just sending probes to Mars; sending people there would take at least several more decades.
Yet, a small foreign company with only one employee claimed it was launching a plan to immigrate to Mars, and so many people believed it and even paid the application fee.
This was outrageous!
At that time, Aisen wondered if this company had launched a plan not to immigrate to Mars, but to immigrate to the Solar System, would there still be so many—uh, so many kind people donating money.
What? You say landing on the sun would burn you to death? What kind of question is that? Maybe the company would propose a plan to land on the sun at night, and many people would believe it, right (wry smile)?
As for Aisen, don't ask him how those who paid and signed up would survive in the extreme environment of Mars. Just tell them to learn from Bear Grylls and see if they can survive a month in the wilderness.
Of course, Aisen didn't know what those people were thinking, but he truly couldn't understand it.
As for the long follow-up developments after the incident fermented, he wasn't very clear. Because by the time he read up to that point, Aisen had already lost interest in following the matter.
He only knew that after the company conducted screenings, interviews, and other steps, they started selling merchandise! Yes, they produced and sold peripheral products like T-shirts, mugs, and so on.
As for the end, the company naturally went bankrupt and closed down. As for the plan to immigrate to Mars, it was an illusion from beginning to end.
Aisen didn't know how those who signed up wanting to immigrate to Mars felt. Perhaps some people didn't care at all, but he estimated that a portion of those who genuinely wanted to go to Mars would be disappointed.
Tsk tsk—
Thinking this, Aisen couldn't help but shake his head.
He wondered if in this world, when it reached 2013, such a company would appear and pull such a trick.
Clearing his thoughts, he observed the surroundings and then directly used Transfiguration to hollow out a space several hundred meters underground.
The internal structure of this space was a simple rectangular prism.
Lying in such a space, Aisen prepared himself, closed his eyes, and entered the Dream World.
...
As his perspective shifted, Aisen's surroundings abruptly changed from the barren Mars to a valley where all four seasons coexisted distinctly.
Yes, this was a hidden place he had solidified in the Dream World's Earth. Previously, he had been training the Trio here for practical combat. Next, he would stay here and wait for Time to pass.
The valley surrounded by mountains on all sides represented the four seasons: spring, summer, autumn, and winter. In the converging area in the middle was a flat field enclosed by a fence.
At the edge of the field, several small houses were located. Aisen walked directly into one of them.
Because his authority was great enough in the Dream World, he could directly see another solidified scene, which was the spaceship somewhere outside the Solar System.
Checking the Time now, he realized that 52 hours had passed since he had returned to this era.
But this wasn't a problem. The problem Aisen needed to solve next was to partition two areas with different Time flow rates in the Dream World.
If he didn't do this, once he adjusted the Time flow rate in the Dream World, the timer on the spaceship would inevitably change along with it.
This would render the timer useless.
Aisen's idea was to partition the spaceship so that its Time flow rate would remain synchronized with the real world. Meanwhile, the Time flow rate in the valley where he was could be slowed down.
For example, if ten thousand years passed on the spaceship, only one year would have actually passed in the valley where he was.
Thus, because the Time on the spaceship was synchronized with the real world, Aisen would feel like he had only stayed in the valley for a year, but in reality, ten thousand years would have passed in the real world.
And this was the ultimate goal he aimed to achieve by returning ten thousand years through Time Travel.
However, Aisen needed to consider the degree to which the Time flow rates of the two areas should be adjusted.
If, as mentioned earlier, ten thousand years passed in the real world while he only felt a year had passed, it would mean that for every day he stayed, approximately twenty-seven years would have passed in the real world.
This ratio seemed a bit exaggerated, but Aisen felt it was still not enough.
Because if he really did that, it would mean he would have to stay in the Dream World for a full year.
Actually, a year's Time wasn't something he couldn't endure.
After all, there were instances in the past when he stayed in the Dream World for several months or even several years while conducting various experiments.
Moreover, he could also conjure various immersive virtual games to play, so he wouldn't get bored.
But the question was, was it necessary?
Because in reality, as Aisen said, he had almost omnipotent authority in the Dream World, so he could directly increase the Time ratio to the limit.
For example, he could achieve a state where he only felt a second had passed, but ten thousand years had passed in the real world.
But the problem was, Aisen was unsure if any unexpected situations would occur when he "woke up" after such an extreme Time ratio conversion.
Or rather, would there be a severe sense of "disorientation" after his thought speed suddenly changed?
Therefore, to prevent such a situation, Aisen thought for a long Time and realized it would be better to have a buffer.
For instance, initially, for every day he stayed in the Dream World, ten days would pass in the real world. Then on the second day, for every day he stayed in the Dream World, a month would pass in the real world. On the third day, for every day in the Dream World, two months would pass in the real world.
By using this method as a buffer, when it reached a point where one day in the Dream World equaled one hundred years in the real world, he would maintain this for a period, then slowly reverse the change. Until the ten thousand years were about to end, he would readjust the Time flow rate so that one day in the Dream Worldequaled ten days in the real world.
Choosing this method, Aisen calculated that he would spend thirty days at the beginning and end for the "buffer." Then he would spend over three months in the middle maintaining the ratio of one day in the Dream World to one hundred years in the real world.
This meant he wouldn't need to stay in the Dream Worldfor a year, but only a little over four months would be enough.
Clearly, this amount of Time was acceptable to him. Moreover, he felt this "buffer" method was more stable.
After figuring this out, Aisen immediately began to act.
He directly partitioned the valley he was in and slowed down the flow of Time within this valley surrounded by mountains.
This way, Time in other parts of the Dream World, including on that spaceship, would continue to synchronize with the Time in the real world.
As for Aisen himself, he lived according to the flow of Time in this valley.
...
Time passed bit by bit, and Aisen settled down peacefully in this valley surrounded by mountains.
When he had nothing to do every day, he would practice casting spells in the fenced area. In addition, he continued to delve into knowledge related to Ancient Runes, Alchemy, and formations.
Because he was immersed in the study of knowledge every day, Time passed very quickly.
In the blink of an eye, more than three months had passed.
On this day, after Aisen spent a new day in the Dream World, he adjusted the flow of Time in this valley within the Dream World to the extent that one day inside equaled ten years in the real world.
Next, if there were no surprises, he would continue to adjust the flow of Time until one day in the Dream Worldequaled ten years in the real world, and then leave the Dream World to return to the real world.
Then, his goal would be achieved.
However, it's like someone said, if you say there won't be any surprises, a surprise will appear directly.
Indeed, just as Aisen had adjusted the flow of Time to the point where one day in the Dream World equaled one year in the real world, the entire Dream World suddenly vibrated at a certain moment, directly startling him "awake."
Of course, this didn't mean he was directly startled awake from the Dream World and returned to the real world. Instead, the violent vibration and sound seemed to have come from the real world and entered the Dream World, directly startling Aisen.
Afterward, Aisen emerged from his state of studying knowledge, adjusted the flow of Time in this valley surrounded by mountains back to normal, and quickly checked for changes throughout the Dream World.
However, after a careful check, he didn't find anything unusual.
Just like before, he still had 100% control over the Dream World, and his authority within the Dream World was still almost omnipotent.
So, what kind of change occurred?
When Aisen's gaze inadvertently fell on the timer in a luxurious suite on the spaceship, he was instantly stunned.
He saw the number 9977 displayed under the word "year" on the timer on the wall, which meant that 9977 years had passed in the real world.
With a simple calculation, Aisen knew that this Time in the real world should be 1972. In other words, because Time reached 1972, the vibration in the real world entered the Dream World, thus "startling" him awake.
Why did this happen?
As soon as he thought of this question, Aisen's face immediately turned pale.
Previously, he had conducted a large number of Time Travel experiments and verified a conclusion—any world he traveled to before 1972 was a parallel world; only the world after 1972 was the world he was in.
Although he had previously speculated that this situation occurred because of his Time Travel, this was just a guess, and he really had no way of knowing the specific situation.
But the change Aisen encountered at present, if it had nothing to do with this, he wouldn't believe it even if you beat him to death.
Obviously, he overlooked this point and went back to the past to fall asleep starting from ten thousand years ago.
Originally, there was no problem with him sleeping until 1971, but unfortunately, he directly crossed into 1972. This is where the problem appeared.
Furthermore, if you think deeply about it, you will realize this is a very terrifying problem.
Because Aisen's understanding of the "multiverse" concept in this world was very limited, he didn't know what the situation of parallel worlds in this world was like.
Is it like a river with countless tributaries that, as it flows continuously, converges and merges at the node of 1972 to form a new river, which is the river Aisen is on?
Or is it that there were originally countless parallel rivers flowing continuously, and in 1972, they had no intersection with the river Aisen himself was on, but flowed separately as before?
If it was the first case, then the situation Aisenencountered might not be so bad. He probably directly "slept" from the parallel world of 1971 to the main world of 1972.
In this case, the real world he is currently in is his own main world. Then, he only needs to continue sleeping for more than twenty years to return to 1995.
But if it was the second case, then the situation he encountered was that he directly "slept" from the parallel world of 1971 to the parallel world of 1972.
If that were the case, things would be very complicated.
Because previous extensive experiments all showed that once he entered 1972, he would definitely enter his own main world, not a so-called parallel world.
In other words, if the second possibility were true, it would mean that Aisen had directly opened up a new timeline, specifically a timeline for a parallel world after 1972.
This indicates that Aisen has left the main world, and even if he sleeps for another twenty years, he won't be able to return to his original Space-Time.
All sorts of thoughts churned in Aisen's mind. When a certain thought emerged, his entire body trembled, and then he directly left the Dream World and returned to the real world.
That's right, thinking too much isn't the way to solve the problem.
Since he doesn't know the situation in the real world, it's more appropriate to go and find out.
If there is a newborn him in this world, it means he has returned to his own Space-Time from a past parallel Space-Time. If not, it means—
No, I must return to Earth!
With a thought, Aisen opened his eyes.
However, the moment he opened his eyes, he was startled by the situation before him.
He clearly remembered that when he was previously "sleeping," the place he stayed in was a small, rectangular space.
But at this moment, he was covered in dirt, and he could feel the sensation of being squeezed on his body.
Seeing this situation, Aisen suddenly felt a sense of relief.
Because changes made in a parallel world would not occur in his own world. So, the change in this scene before him very likely indicates that he directly "slept" from a parallel world into his own main world.
However, whether this is truly the case still needs to be confirmed by going back and seeing.
With thoughts swirling, Aisen directly used Apparition Without A Trace and instantly appeared on the ground.
After casting a Disillusionment Charm on himself, he looked around and found that this was still the surface of Mars, without any issues. However, over nearly ten thousand years, some of the surrounding terrain had changed.
However, he didn't have the extra thoughts to dwell on this and directly transformed into light, flying towards Earth.
Three minutes later, Aisen entered Earth's atmosphere and then continued flying in a certain direction.
...
In a hidden jungle on the outskirts of Altrincham town in Manchester, England, Aisen's figure appeared out of thin air.
With God's Perspective directly activated, his old family home immediately appeared in his mind, and then he found his parents, twenty years younger, on the sofa in the bedroom.
Looking at his mother's slightly bulging abdomen and feeling the life within it, Aisen suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
Although there was still some Time until his birth, this situation indicated that the probability of him currently being in the main world was higher.
No, no, no—
It can't be confirmed yet; it can only be confirmed after he is born.
Okay, I'll hide then and wait for a while.
If Aisen is truly in the main world now, he will encounter himself from the future who comes to install the 'cheat' on his infant self. If that happens, he can confirm the Space-Time he is in.
But if he doesn't encounter him, it means he really ran to a parallel world. If that's the case, then for Aisen, it would truly be a particularly bad situation.
Chapter 364: "Lost" and Greatly Increased Strength
After closing God's Perspective, Aisen let out a long breath and decided to hide here and live for a while.
However, just as he turned around, his steps paused.
Because his emotions had fluctuated too much just now, and he had been thinking about all sorts of possibilities, he hadn't had time to think too much.
But after making the decision at this moment, his mind became much clearer, and thus, he thought of a more intuitive way to judge, which was to directly activate the Time Travel Trait within his body.
That's right, using the Time Travel Trait integrated within his body to return to past Space-Time, he could stay in the past Space-Time. At the same time, he could also choose to return voluntarily.
Just like last time, he went directly to a parallel world in 1900, stayed for a few days, and then voluntarily returned to the main world in 1993.
In other words, even if he had now stayed in past Space-Time for 9977 years, he could still use the power of the Time Travel Trait to directly return to 1995.
This way, there was no need to delve deeply into where he was currently located in Space-Time.
As his thoughts turned, Aisen's mind settled, a smile appeared on his face, and he was about to activate the power of the Time Travel Trait to return to the main world in 1995.
However, what happened next made the smile on his face freeze.
Because his figure remained rooted to the spot and did not leave this Space-Time.
Previously, whenever he activated the Time Travel Trait, whether going to the past or returning to the present, he would be pulled away by the great power of time.
It was as if a Space-Time tunnel would open up out of thin air, pulling him through this tunnel to his destination.
But this time, something different happened.
This time, when Aisen activated the Time Travel Trait within his body, the great power of time indeed surged from within him, intending to take him back to the main world in 1995.
But at the same time, a change occurred; the surging great power of time within him, just as it showed signs of pulling him away, suddenly subsided like a receding tide.
"Holy crap, it can't be serious, right!" Aisen suddenly got a headache.
The sudden failure of the Time Travel Trait was indeed beyond his expectation.
However, perhaps because his emotions had fluctuated too much earlier, when encountering this problem now, his emotional fluctuations were not as intense.
But just thinking about the series of problems he would face next, he did feel quite a headache.
For example, could he still successfully return to the main world in 1995? And for example, had the Time TravelTrait on him been disabled?
Wait—
Time Travel Trait?
Aisen seemed to have thought of something. His brow furrowed slightly, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.
One thing that could be confirmed was that the Time Travel Trait on him should be fine, or rather, it hadn't been disabled.
Otherwise, when he activated the Time Travel Trait just now, the great power of time within him wouldn't have surged; there should have been no reaction at all.
Since there was a reaction, it meant that the Time TravelTrait should have taken effect.
It was just that in the previous situation, it seemed that for some reason, the great power of time within him was directly calmed down just as it was about to take him away.
This situation was as if casting a Charm halfway, and just as the Charm was about to be emitted from the tip of the wand, it was interrupted by perceived interference.
Carefully recalling the situation he had just encountered, Aisen once again activated the Time Travel Trait within his body, and found that it was still the same.
The Time Travel Trait activated, the great power of time surged, and then it seemed about to take him away directly, but then it was as if it was interrupted, the great power of time subsided, and the Time Travel Trait also became dormant.
"So, the Time Travel Trait is fine. But if I can't go back, what's the reason?" Aisen couldn't help but mutter.
With a turn of thought, he again thought of the special nature of the Space-Time he was currently in.
But as soon as he thought about this problem, Aisen's headache started again.
Because this was still the problem he had thought about before; he couldn't be sure whether he was in the main world or a Space-Time that shouldn't have existed but was opened up by him.
Wait—
If it was interrupted, could it be because he couldn't find the way, and that's why he couldn't go back?
But before, he could freely travel between the main world and other parallel Space-Time using the Time TravelTrait, and there were no instances of not being able to find the way.
Then this time—
"So, my action of crossing from 1971 to 1972 this time disrupted the Time Travel Trait's coordinate positioning for the main world?" Aisen suddenly had a flash of inspiration as if he thought of something, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.
But if that were the case, wouldn't it mean that the Space-Time he was currently in was not the main world, but a parallel Space-Time that he had opened up?
But if that were the case, what happened to the rectangular space he had previously opened up on Mars?
This—
After thinking for a long time, Aisen almost confused himself and couldn't figure out the reason, so he couldn't help but shake his head.
Of course, no matter what the situation was, what he needed to do now was find a way back. Only by doing this, solving the most fundamental problem, would all other problems cease to be problems.
However, how to do this was a very crucial problem.
Looking around, Aisen walked out of the jungle and headed towards the direction where the trees quickly became sparse and low in the distance.
Where his gaze reached, after the jungle extended for a distance, it quickly turned into clusters of bushes, and then became a large expanse of flat wilderness.
After walking out of the wilderness and entering the town's street area, he arrived in front of his old house.
Looking at the old house where he had lived for more than ten years in this life, Aisen couldn't help but feel a bit emotional. For some reason, occasionally seeing the scenes encountered in the past always gave him the urge to make time stand still.
But unfortunately, he didn't have that ability. Moreover, even if he had that ability, he couldn't do that. Because people, after all, still have to look forward.
And he himself would inevitably return to 1995.
...
After temporarily putting this matter aside, Aisen finally focused his attention on himself.
With a slight thought, a virtual interface appeared before his eyes:
Character: Eisen Turner
Extraordinary Talent: magic (Activated)
magic Value: 36459430 (Increases by 10 points of magicper day)
Extraordinary Traits: Legendary Spellcasting Trait (Integrated), Legendary Immortality Trait (Integrated), Legendary Observation Trait (Integrated), Legendary Time Travel Trait (Integrated), Legendary Self-HealingTrait (Integrated)
Miracle Trait: 9977 copies (Automatically gain 1 copy per year)
Looking at the changes on the cheat, Aisen couldn't help but grin.
That's right, the magic within his body had now reached an astonishing more than thirty million. What kind of concept was this? Aisen felt that he had at least surpassed the total magic of all Witches in the world.
That's right, having come this far, every action he took carried extremely surging power, as if he was directly carrying a world on his back.
It was as if there was an ocean of magic somewhere in this world, and Aisen had now loaded this entire ocean of magic into his body.
With this extremely surging magic, he even wondered if he could already leverage the entire universe.
Of course, this statement seemed a bit exaggerated. But this change in strength, or rather, this qualitative transformation, gave him the illusion that he could directly rub the major planets of the Solar System in his hands and play with them.
"Holy cow, does that mean I'm truly invincible now!" Aisen couldn't help but exclaim.
And the reason he let out such an exclamation was not just because of the super significant increase in magic, which brought about huge changes in his strength, but also because of the changes in the quality of the Extraordinary Traits that had been integrated.
That's right, the Excellent-grade Spellcasting Trait directly improved in quality, skipping the Perfect-grade and reaching the Legendary-grade.
Perhaps it was precisely for this reason that even the compatibility that was originally indicated afterwards was cancelled.
Of course, that wasn't the point. The point is that Aisenwould be able to cast spells more freely and without restraint in the future. Moreover, the power of his spellcasting and Charms would likely be even more outrageous.
And besides the Spellcasting Trait, the other two traits, such as the Perfect-grade Observation Trait and the Perfect-grade Self-Healing Trait, also improved in quality and became Legendary-grade Extraordinary Traits.
Regarding the changes in the observation trait, Aisen had just experienced it; the observation range seemed to have expanded significantly, essentially reaching a radius of fifty miles.
Similarly, the 'quality' of the observation had also improved greatly.
And this improvement in quality was very peculiar, giving his observation range a feeling of being able to change.
For example, he could reset the entire fifty-mile radius area using the observed target as the origin point and then continue observing.
What does this mean? For instance, if he now activates God's Perspective and observes a tall building fifty miles away. This distance is his observation limit; he cannot observe anything further.
But he can set that tall building as the origin point and then reset his God's Perspective. In this way, he can observe everything within a fifty-mile radius of that tall building.
Simply put, he can continuously jump his line of sight within the observation range in God's Perspective.
In a sense, he can increase his observation range by constantly changing the origin point, and arguably, there is no limit to this method of enhancement.
However, the observation range expanded through this constant jumping of sight will close when God's Perspective is closed. It doesn't mean that the observation range is permanently expanded after using it once.
When Aisen activates God's Perspective again next time, the observation range will still be a fifty-mile radius area centered on him. But even so, this change made Aisenvery satisfied.
As for the changes in the perfect self-healing trait, or rather, it has become the Legendary Self-Healing, he has no way to verify the specific changes.
Of course, this doesn't mean he can't verify how much stronger the self-healing trait integrated into his body has become by harming himself.
This is completely possible.
For example, he can now cast the Fiendfyre Curse, gather the Fiendfyre, solidify it into a blade, and cut his own body. Or he could directly place himself in the Fiendfyre, or use other Charms to attack himself, and so on.
Logically, before the transformation, the perfect self-healing trait he possessed was already sufficient to recover from most injuries. Even the Fiendfyre, which possesses strong curse power and terrifying might, would have the damage it caused continuously offset by the self-healing trait.
Only if Aisen were to fall into the embrace of Fiendfyreand offer no resistance would the perfect self-healing trait integrated into his body be unable to fully withstand it, ultimately leading to him being burned to death by the Fiendfyre.
So, now that his perfect self-healing trait has transformed into Legendary Self-Healing, can he directly withstand Fiendfyre and remain in the Fiendfyre without any resistance and be completely unharmed?
Theoretically, this is indeed the case, and Aisen also believes that even if the Fiendfyre cast by other Witches goes out of control, he will not suffer any harm.
But the problem is, if it's the Fiendfyre Curse he casts himself, then the situation is hard to say.
After all, the magic in his body now amounts to over thirty million, so in terms of this aspect alone, his strength has increased by over a thousand times.
Therefore, if it is the Fiendfyre Curse cast by Aisenhimself, its power will likely far exceed the Fiendfyre Curse cast before. And this more powerful Fiendfyre Curse will likely still cause him harm.
Just like a super man.
A super man's body of steel basically ignores most damage, to the extent that almost no one can break through his defense. However, his own heat vision can cut through his skin.
Clearly, Aisen is in a similar situation now.
Therefore, for him, testing the Legendary Self-Healing on himself by casting a Charm is not very necessary. Anyway, he knows that his self-healing ability has increased significantly, and that's enough.
Next, Aisen's gaze fell on the other two traits in the virtual interface. They were the legendary Immortalitytrait and the legendary Time Travel trait.
The quality of these two traits did not change at all; they were still of the original legendary quality.
Although Aisen was somewhat puzzled by this, after careful consideration, he had a rough guess.
For example, traits of legendary quality are already the highest level here with the golden finger. In this case, legendary extraordinary traits naturally cannot improve in quality further.
However, besides this possibility, there is another possibility, which is that the rapid increase in magic within his body, during the nearly ten thousand years of 'slumber', the nourishment of magic was not enough to cause the traits that were originally of legendary quality to undergo a transformation.
In other words, perhaps he would need to 'slumber' for another ten thousand years or many tens of thousands of years for the legendary Time Travel trait and the legendary Immortality trait to undergo a transformation.
Of course, the specific situation will only be known after slowly understanding it in the future.
...
Feeling the surging magic within his body constantly oscillating with a special rhythm, Aisen even had a feeling that not only had the extraordinary traits undergone a transformation, but the various runes that had long been integrated into his body and solidified onto his physical form were also rapidly transforming under the nourishment.
This change made him—wait—
That's right, the golden finger can replicate and integrate the extraordinary traits from magical items into his body, and he can also dismantle the casting effect of a certain Charm and engrave it into his body in the form of magical script and runes.
This itself is a very similar method.
And more importantly, he only recently learned something, that the golden finger on him was refined by himself.
Given this, it is highly likely that the function in the golden finger that can extract, replicate, and integrate the extraordinary traits from magical items into the body was added by himself.
Therefore, it makes sense that the runes already inscribed in Aisen's body are also being nourished and transformed by magic at this moment.
However, speaking of the golden finger, he remembers very clearly that when he refined it at that time, he did not add various functions.
After all, when he was refining the golden finger at that time, he was originally refining it as a Horcrux. And even though he only successfully refined it after receiving the 'hint' information later, some crucial parts were actually refined under the guidance of the golden finger.
This means—
Does it mean that the marble containing a golden thread that Zou Zunian gave him was actually his own creation?
As his thoughts turned, Aisen showed a thoughtful expression.
After a long while, he came back to his senses and focused his attention on the bottom section of the virtual interface, and then a deep smile appeared on his face again.
That's right, the Miracle Trait, which was never enough before, and could only be obtained once a year, has now accumulated 9977 copies.
Having over nine thousand copies of the Miracle Traitmeans that Aisen can extract and replicate extraordinary traits from various magical items as he pleases.
For example, before, he wanted to combine the functions of a microscope and a telescope to develop a simplified version of clairvoyance. Now, telescopes and x-ray telescopes are readily available, and as for microscopes, researching and manufacturing a magical item is not a problem.
In this way, he can directly extract and replicate the traits.
Of course, it's not just these traits, there are also other traits like flying traits, storage space traits, and so on. Anyway, for Aisen, extracting everything that can be extracted is no big deal.
As for whether to repeatedly extract and replicate the same traits for fusion, this was a problem he encountered before.
Previously, he had already conducted an experiment where after extracting and replicating the spellcasting trait with his own wand, he couldn't replicate it anymore. Later, he switched to Hermione's wand, and he could extract and replicate it again.
At that time, he had a guess that repeatedly replicating the spellcasting trait and then integrating it into his body could enhance the power and compatibility of his spellcasting.
However, at that time, due to the scarcity of Miracle Trait, he couldn't do this.
Now, there is no shortage of Miracle Trait, but Aisen feels that there is no need to improve the quality or power of extraordinary traits by repeatedly extracting and replicating extraordinary traits.
Just look at the extraordinary traits on the golden finger panel that have already transformed to legendary quality, and you will know that their quality can also be improved without fusing the same extraordinary traits.
Clearly, for him now, there is really no need to deliberately fuse extraordinary traits of the same type.
Chapter 365: What's going on?
As his thoughts turned, Aisen kept mulling over the crucial points, but then, not long after, he smiled and shook his head.
Previously, due to the scarcity of Miracle Trait, he couldn't easily make such attempts, but now he completely lacks for Miracle Trait, so trying one or two things really isn't a big deal.
Whew—
After taking a deep breath, Aisen took out a few hollow metal rings.
That's right, these were some rings he had left over from a long time ago. Now, they can be used again.
Twirling one of the rings, focusing his attention on a small entrance in the hollow part of the ring, Aisen cast the Undetectable Extension Charm with all his might.
Previously, he had used this method to make a few storage rings, but the space inside was basically only the size of one room.
And now, the magic within his body alone has expanded by more than a thousand times.
Therefore, in his opinion, if he were to cast the Undetectable Extension Charm with all his might, he should be able to expand the hollow space within the ring to a very vast extent.
At the very least, it should be able to reach the internal space of Newt's case.
One must know that the internal space of Newt's case is very vast; in order to provide suitable living environments for various magical creatures, it even has a variety of habitats arranged inside.
For example, there are grasslands, deserts, snowy areas, caves, tropical rainforests, and so on.
Looking at it this way, this case is practically like a small world. Or, one could simply say, it's like a blessed land of grotto-heavens.
From this, it's clear that whenever Newt travels around with his case, he is basically carrying a small world with him.
Originally, Aisen also thought that at worst, he could create a space as large as Newt's case, or even open up a space the size of Earth.
As a result, before he could think much, the moment he finished casting the Charm with all his might, the hollow metal ring in his hand directly exploded!
That's right, the ring didn't shatter into tiny fragments after exploding, but directly exploded into powder, and then vanished into thin air.
"What's going on?" Looking at the scene before him, Aisen's eyes showed deep disbelief.
One must know that not long after he first entered Hogwarts School, he had already successfully mastered the Undetectable Extension Charm and successfully made the so-called storage rings.
So much time has passed now, and his strength has long undergone earth-shattering changes, so how could he possibly still fail?
Could it be because the magic within his body is too surging, leading to a decrease in his control over the magic?
No, no, no—
This thought just popped into Aisen's mind before he shook his head and cast it out.
Feeling the vast magic within his body, although it had indeed increased by several thousand times compared to before, he could still feel the flow of magic in every single cell throughout his body.
This magic fills every part of his body and can still be controlled by him as he wishes.
Clearly, this magic was accumulated over nearly ten thousand years; although his consciousness might not have fully adapted yet, his body had long since adapted.
Otherwise, Aisen would have felt something was wrong as soon as he woke up. He wouldn't be like he is now, where although he feels a sea of magic surging within him, there is no discomfort whatsoever.
However, if it's not a problem with magic control, then what kind of problem could it be? Could it be that he hasn't cast the Undetectable Extension Charm for a long time, leading to unfamiliarity with this Charm?
This, surely not!
One must know that Aisen has always paid great attention to his control over Charms. Even for Charms that he practiced frequently to the point of being second nature or even instinctual, he is confident that he can use them whenever needed, even if he hasn't used them for a long time.
Although the Undetectable Extension Charm is special and wasn't included in his daily practice routine, when he was adding skills to the book of aisen earlier, he still spent a lot of effort practicing and dissecting this Charm.
In other words, his level of control over this Charm is very high.
Therefore, if he failed because he was unfamiliar with this Charm, it clearly doesn't make sense.
But since it's not a problem with magic, nor a problem with the Charm, then what else could it be? Aisenpondered, placing his gaze on the other few rings.
Immediately after, he concentrated his attention again and cast the Undetectable Extension Charm with all his might.
As expected, another hollow ring directly exploded, then turned into dust and vanished. Then Aisen tried again, and the result was still exactly the same.
In the end, the few hollow metal rings he took out all turned into flying ash and dissipated into the world.
"Is there a problem with the material?" Aisen said, a thoughtful expression appearing on his face.
Recalling carefully, Aisen realized that when he made the storage rings back then, he specifically went to the Muggle World to customize a hollow ring made of titanium alloy, and the extra rings were actually copied using the Duplication Charm.
If that's the reason, then the problem lies here.
Wait—
He didn't just successfully make one storage ring back then; he successfully made several storage rings. This means that the rings copied by the Duplication Charmcan also have their internal space expanded using the Undetectable Extension Charm.
So now—
Could it be that because the magic in his body wasn't strong enough back then, the rings copied by the Duplication Charm could withstand it, but now that the magic in his body is too vast, the rings copied by the Duplication Charm can no longer withstand it?
Aisen thought of the way the previous few rings exploded, and a trace of understanding flashed in his eyes.
That's right, the rings exploded directly into ash, as if they were directly annihilated in the world. It seems very likely that they couldn't withstand his current magic.
"But if it's just because of the material that it can't bear his magic, then what about Newt's case?" Aisen's brow furrowed again, as if he had thought of something.
Yes, Newt's case, putting aside the space inside, looks like an ordinary leather case from the outside. But why can it bear such a vast space expansion?
Could it be? Is it because it has been enchanted?
Aisen's eyes flickered, and he took out another hollow metal ring.
Next, he first cast a Sticking Charm on this ring, and then cast the Undetectable Extension Charm on the hollow space within it.
He originally thought he would succeed this time, but he saw the scene that had appeared before: the entire ring exploded and quickly turned into powder, then vanished.
Having tried this far, Aisen basically understood.
Simply put, the reason for this change is neither a material problem, but should be the effect of the Duplication Charm.
How to put it, he had a simple guess.
He believes that hollow rings made of ordinary metal material can bear the expansion of their space when he casts the Undetectable Extension Charm with all his might.
Just like Newt's case, which bears a sufficiently vast space.
At the very least, protecting it with a Charm should be enough. After all, Aisen doesn't know if Newt's case was protected by protective magic like the Sticking Charm.
But clearly, this possibility is extremely high.
And previously, he took out the rings copied by the Duplication Charm, cast the Sticking Charm, and then cast the Undetectable Extension Charm. But unfortunately, it still couldn't withstand the Charm Aisencast with all his might.
This shows that the limitation of things copied by the Duplication Charm seems to be here; even the Sticking Charm cannot take effect.
Hmm—
Or rather, it's not that it can't take effect, but that it can't take effect when encountering Aisen casting the Undetectable Extension Charm with all his might now.
Thinking this, Aisen took out an ordinary ring from his storage ring again, and then cast a Sticking Charm on it.
Immediately after, he didn't fully mobilize the magic in his body, but looked at the entrance of the hollow part of the ring, and a subtle thought popped into his mind.
At the same time, he mobilized a wisp of magic within his body, activated this thought, and cast a "light and airy" Undetectable Extension Charm.
Hiss—
The ring trembled slightly, a faint halo appeared on it, and then, just like before, it cracked and exploded into flying ash.
However, at this moment, there was no longer confusion in Aisen's eyes, but rather a look that conveyed, "As expected."
Because of this attempt, although the ring finally couldn't bear it and dissipated, before it dissipated, Aisen still felt the spatial change within from the hollowed entrance of the ring.
The internal hollowed space rapidly expanded, almost instantly becoming a space the size of a football field.
"It seems it really is like this!" Aisen said, shaking his head slightly.
Although, when he cast the Undetectable Extension Charm, he only mobilized a tiny wisp of magic within his body, logically speaking, he should have been able to make storage rings using rings copied by the Duplication Charm, just like before.
But in reality, just as he had speculated before, in this world, the amount of magic within a Witch's body directly represents their strength or weakness.
That is to say, the magic in his body is now many, many times more than before.
Then, it makes sense that this time casting the Undetectable Extension Charm successfully expanded the hollowed ring, which had a Strengthening Charm cast on it, into a space the size of a football field, and then the storage ring collapsed and dissipated.
"In that case, if I want to make new storage rings, I'll have to re-order some hollowed alloy rings!" Aisen couldn't help but frown, seeming to find it a bit too troublesome.
But then he thought that he was still in an unknown Space-Time and had to wait according to plan for more than seven months, so he relaxed his brows.
Yes, with such a long time, taking time to order some rings... uh, it seems there's no need for that anymore.
Thinking of this, Aisen couldn't help but laugh.
Yes, he used to order hollowed rings because he found it more convenient to wear them on his hand. Now, his purpose is merely the storage space characteristic.
Since that's the case, he just needs to buy a suitcase, or simply make a container that can store things himself.
Thinking of this, Aisen's figure flashed, turning into a beam of light and instantly flying towards the direction behind him.
...
On the outskirts of the town, in the distant jungle, Aisen's figure reappeared.
Looking around, and seeing the lush trees in the woods, Aisen smiled and nodded, then walked directly behind an oak tree.
Just as he was about to start, he paused and hesitated.
Because he couldn't be sure yet if this world was a parallel world. If it was, then cutting down this tree to make a box would basically be no problem.
But if it wasn't a parallel world, but rather the main world, then he didn't know if doing this would have some negative impact on the history he had already experienced.
Perhaps, he should find a more hidden place?
This jungle, in Aisen's memory, existed very clearly, because he had indeed come here with his father when he was little, so he knew this jungle existed.
However, he had only walked around the edge of the jungle, and had never entered the jungle itself. Therefore, he actually didn't know if there were any other changes inside this jungle.
Someone might say, since Aisen doesn't know the situation inside at all, what impact would it have even if he cut down an oak tree?
Uh, that's true, but the problem is, Aisen himself doesn't know the specific situation inside, but he isn't sure if others don't know.
What if, in the main world where he was born in this lifetime, this oak tree remained safe and sound until he graduated from university, entered society, activated his cheat, and then stepped into the Wizarding World? Then his current action of cutting it down would not be appropriate.
For example, because this oak tree is growing very well, perhaps people secretly come here to date under this tree every year, right? That's not impossible.
And once this oak tree is cut down by him now, wouldn't it be possible that some people's behavior would be changed? And once this behavior is changed, isn't it also possible that their life trajectories would be changed?
"So, I still need to—uh—" Aisen was lamenting that he needed to find a more hidden place, when he inadvertently saw the branches and leaves hanging down from the treetops not far in front of him, gently swaying in the breeze.
Then, as if he had thought of something, Aisen shook his head with a chuckle.
Right, to make a box, or rather, a container that can store things, he actually doesn't need to cut down the tree. Simply picking some leaves would be enough.
That's right, just like the hollowed rings he had ordered before.
He doesn't even need to use overly complicated methods to process them. He can just pick six leaves, cut each leaf into a square, and then piece them together using a Sticking Charm.
The container made this way... uh, would be very fragile, but that's okay, as long as he uses a Strengthening Charm, there will be no problem.
Thinking of this, Aisen walked forward a few steps decisively, came to a hanging branch, reached out, pinched a leaf, and picked it off.
However, the scene that followed made his expression change.
Because the leaf he had picked and held between his fingers, just moments after leaving the branch, in less than two seconds, seemed to have undergone the baptism of hundreds or thousands of years and directly weathered away and dissipated.
"Holy crap! What the hell is going on now?" Aisen's face turned ugly.
Then, as if he had thought of something, Aisen quickly lowered his head to look at himself. After feeling his body, he didn't find anything unusual.
"Because I haven't returned to the main world of 1995, and the time backlash hasn't erupted, I've been carrying the brewing and accumulating time backlash power on me?" Aisen immediately thought of a possibility.
But this doesn't make sense. If that were really the case, then why did the several hollowed metal rings he took out consecutively before have no reaction?
Uh, okay, titanium alloy rings, when placed in a storage ring, really don't seem to change over ten thousand years.
But if that's the case, then wouldn't the conclusion he reached after performing a series of actions with those hollowed rings earlier have to be overturned?
That is to say, after he cast the Undetectable Extension Charm on those hollowed rings, the reason those rings turned into dust might not only be because they were made of material copied by the Duplication Charm, but also because they were eroded by the time backlash power on his body.
Is this the truth of the matter?
At this moment, Aisen felt like he had been screwed over.
Rolling his eyes, Aisen's peripheral vision swept over the branch—then, as if he had seen something astonishing, his eyes immediately widened like copper bells.
Because he clearly saw that the leaf he had just picked was still growing in its original spot, gently swaying with the breeze.
It was as if he had never picked that leaf before. It was also as if time had flowed backward—time flowing backward?
Aisen's face showed a thoughtful expression, then he reached out, pinched the leaf, and picked it off again. This time, Aisen didn't look away, but watched quietly.
He saw that two seconds after he picked the leaf, it quickly weathered away and disappeared from his fingertips, just like before. And on the branch, the leaf he had picked instantly reappeared in its original place.
This doesn't seem like time flowing backward!
A hint of doubt flashed in Aisen's eyes, then he opened his God's Perspective and extended his sight into the entrance of the storage ring, finding that the ring he had taken out earlier was indeed gone.
"So, have I overturned the conclusion I reached before, or not?" Aisen was truly a bit bewildered for a moment.
He had previously speculated that because he hadn't returned to the main world of 1995, the time backlash power was still brewing and hadn't erupted.
But looking at it now, the situation doesn't seem to be like that!
Because it's impossible to say that after the time backlash power eroded the leaf, it could still make it grow back there out of thin air, right?
"Oh my goodness, what the hell is going on here?"
After being speechless for a while, Aisen took a deep breath, then his gaze became firm, fixed on the trunk of the oak tree in front of him. Immediately, with a thought, a huge sharp blade instantly appeared out of thin air and flashed, cutting the entire oak tree in half at the waist.
Then, before the huge sharp blade cut towards other trees, it disappeared according to Aisen's will.
