Chapter 46 - Ch: 366-370

Chapter 366: Mirror Dimension?

This time, Aisen didn't touch the oak tree in front of him with his hand, but directly used magic to cut it down. The purpose was to confirm whether his previous guess was correct.

Crack—

After the sharp blade cut the oak tree in half, the upper half of the tree, with its lush branches and leaves, fell heavily to the ground. The branches and leaves made a rustling sound as they scraped across the fallen leaves piled on the ground.

Seeing all this happen, Aisen's eyes widened instantly.

Sure enough, after a full two seconds, the fallen half of the tree, as if eroded by an unknown force, directly weathered and dissipated into the world.

At the same time, the remaining half of the tree stump in front of Aisen, which had been cut off by the sharp blade and was still buried in the soil, instantly returned to its original state.

A gentle breeze blew, and the leaves rustled.

It was as if Aisen's previous action of casting a Charm to cut the tree in half had never happened. Not only that, but he also noticed that the traces left on the fallen leaves piled on the ground by the fallen half of the tree had also completely disappeared.

"Time Reversal? No, if it were Time Reversal, it should be a 'complete rewind' scene, but the situation just now—" Aisen showed a thoughtful expression.

After a long time, as if he had figured something out, Aisen directly lowered his head and bent down, then reached out and picked up a fallen leaf from the ground. Then he quietly stared at it.

As a result, starting from the moment he picked up the fallen leaf, after two seconds, it directly turned into dust and dissipated, while among the mottled fallen leaves piled on the ground, that leaf was still lying there quietly.

Just like the previous scene, it was like Time Reversal!

No, it's not Time Reversal! Instead of saying Time Reversal, it's more like—unable to interfere with reality? Or rather, the interference with reality failed?

"Could it be that I am not currently in the Real World?" A thought suddenly popped into his mind, instantly causing Aisen to show a look of surprise.

Unable to interfere with reality, or rather, not existing in the Real World, doesn't that mean he is in a Space similar to the Dream World?

No, no—

The Dream World is indeed a illusory world, and it is indeed impossible to interfere with the Real World, but Aisen 'woke up' from the Dream World, so how could he still appear in a illusory world?

But, if not, what is going on?

Thinking this way, Aisen's mind began to recall everything he did after his consciousness separated from the Dream World and returned to the Real World.

Waking up from Mars and leaving, flying to Earth and landing near his old home in this life. Scenes flashed through Aisen's mind, and there seemed to be nothing wrong.

Wait—

When he first woke up, he seemed to remember that the internal Space he had previously created had disappeared. Also, he shouldn't have woken up in the first place; it was only because something that shook the world happened, and the shock spread to the Dream World, which 'startled' him awake.

Could it be that the huge shock at that time directly shook him into a illusory Space-Time? Aisen's thoughts raced, and his face became uncertain.

Or could it be that Aisen thought he had separated from the Dream World and returned to reality, but in fact, he hadn't woken up from the Dream World, but had directly entered a illusory world—a nonexistent illusory Space-Time that he had forcibly opened up by crossing from a parallel Space-Time before 1972 into 1972?

No, no—

If it was a illusory world, why could he feel the sensation of being buried deep underground when he first woke up? If it was a illusory world, why could he pinch the leaves on the tree with his hand?

It couldn't be that the shock generated by crossing from 1971 to 1972 directly shook his body in the Real World into the illusory world, could it?

Thinking of this, Aisen's thoughts quickly turned. He entered the Dream World by casting the Dream God Spell. Then he found that it was still as smooth as usual, and his consciousness directly entered the Dream World.

Similarly, there was no decrease in his control over the Dream World.

"But if it's not like this, what could be the situation?" Aisen separated from the Dream World, his brows tightly furrowed.

illusory, but able to feel touch. Could it be a special Space that is between illusory and reality? Like the "Dark Dimension"?

Thinking of this, Aisen's thoughts cleared, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

Suddenly, he felt as if he had discovered the truth, and he couldn't help but nod.

"Wait—a Space between illusory and reality, able to be touched and destroyed, but unable to affect—could this be some kind of Mirror Dimension?" Aisen said, a look of doubt appearing in his eyes.

Thinking back to his previous actions, Aisen suddenly felt speechless.

He wasn't sure why this situation occurred, nor was he sure if being in such a Space was the so-called "Dark Dimension".

After all, his understanding of the Dark Dimension was indeed very limited.

However, he was more familiar with the concept of a Mirror Dimension.

For example, using magic to open a Mirror Dimension is to open an identical parallel world based on the Real World.

After entering the Mirror Dimension, one can observe the Real World in real time without being discovered, but at the same time, the two parallel worlds do not interfere with each other.

Therefore, any destruction caused in the Mirror Dimension cannot affect the Real World.

Obviously, from this concept alone, the situation Aisenencountered can be perfectly explained.

Whether it was picking leaves from the tree, cutting the entire tree in half, or directly picking up fallen leaves from the ground, all these interferences applied to the outside world were successful in the first two seconds, but then they directly failed.

Or to put it another way, Aisen is in the Mirror Dimension, and everything he sees is a reflection of the Real World.

Then, although he cut down the tree in the Mirror Dimension, because the oak tree in the Real World was not affected at all, after two seconds, the tree in the Mirror Dimension directly recovered.

Similarly, the leaves he picked from the tree and the fallen leaves he picked up from the ground were also in this situation.

"So, this is not Time Reversal, nor is it the power of Time Backlash, but because I entered a Mirror Dimension of the Real World!" Aisen's face showed a look of sudden realization.

"Whirlwind Strangling Kill!"

As his thoughts turned, Aisen mobilized a wisp of magicin his body and cast a Charm that he hadn't used for a long time since its creation.

Swish, swish, swish—

Gusts of wind enveloped Aisen's body, then turned into infinite wind blades, and then, with himself as the eye of the tornado, rapidly expanded and spread outwards.

In an instant, these chaotic whirlwind tornado blades turned into a wind column dozens of meters thick, directly destroying everything around Aisen.

Immediately after, Aisen's thoughts quickly turned, and he mobilized the magic in his body to cast Transfiguration, completely calming down the terrifying Charm of Whirlwind Strangling Kill.

After the Whirlwind Strangling Kill attack, the entire forest was as if it had been swept by a storm, becoming ravaged. Some broken tree stumps remained standing alone in the forest, and the ground around them was covered with a thick layer of sawdust and Fallen Leaves that had been cut and pulverized by the wind blades.

However, this tragic scene only appeared in Aisen's eyes for a little over a second before it quickly disappeared.

Just like the previous attempt, all the remaining stumps and broken branches quickly turned into dust, and then the entire forest instantly reappeared around him.

When the wind blew, the leaves rustled, as if Aisen's previous actions were all illusions.

Obviously, the guess about the Mirror Dimension now seems more reasonable.

"But why does this world have something like a Mirror Dimension? This isn't the Marvel World!" Aisen fell into thought.

Hmm—well, maybe this is just a place similar to a Mirror Dimension.

After all, Aisen came to this Space-Time node in an abnormal way.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shake his head.

That's right, if he had followed the normal procedure, he should have 'slept' from ten thousand years ago in a parallel world until 1971, then woken up and actively activated the Time Travel Trait within him, returned to 1972 in his main world, and then continued to 'sleep' until he woke up on October 5, 1995.

Normally, if Aisen had followed this procedure to advance his plan, there would basically be no problems.

Perhaps by this time, he had already returned to October 5, 1995, in the main world and had already begun to advance other plans.

But unfortunately, just as he had previously thought, after ignoring the key issues, when he entered the main world in 1972 from the parallel Space-Time in 1971, he did not rely on the great power of the Time Travel Trait within him, but instead tried to cross over directly himself.

The result was obvious: he did not successfully return to the main world in 1972. Instead, he arrived in this unclear special Space-Time.

Hmm—, perhaps there's another way to put it.

For example, it's possible that Aisen did return to the main world in 1972, but not just to the main world in 1972; rather, he returned to the "Mirror Space" of the main world in 1972.

If viewed according to this statement, then everything that happened to him previously can actually be explained.

For example, when crossing from 1971 into 1972, the world vibration that entered the Dream World and "woke" him up. This point can actually be explained.

Another example is that after directly activating the Time Travel Trait within him, the great power of Time surged to carry him back to 1995, but because there was a layer of Mirror Space in between, it was calmed down at the last moment.

Perhaps, just as he had previously guessed, without a specific coordinate, Aisen was directly "stuck" here.

In addition to this, the destruction caused in this "Mirror Space" did not affect the real world, which is obviously also due to this.

After understanding these things, Aisen breathed a sigh of relief. However, immediately after, his expression changed again, becoming conflicted.

Because Aisen suddenly thought, if he was truly in the Mirror Space of the main world as he guessed, wouldn't anything he did be unable to affect the real world?

For example, he wanted to source materials from the real world to make a storage container, and then use the Miracle Trait to extract and replicate the storage Trait to fuse with himself.

Another example is that he also planned to go to Wiseacre's Wizarding Equipment in Diagon Alley or Dervish and Banges in Hogsmeade to acquire extraordinary Traits by interacting with some magic items, and so on.

It could be said that all the methods he could think of were directly ruined.

After thinking of this point, Aisen was particularly depressed.

Moreover, not only that, but even if he wanted to obtain materials from the Muggle World to make magic items himself, it wouldn't work. Because he couldn't even get a few leaves.

Wait—

"Damn it, I won't even be able to contact the people in this world, will I?" As if he thought of something, Aisen's face suddenly turned ugly.

What? You mean in the main world in 1972, Aisen not contacting other people is exactly what he needs to do to avoid worrying about changing history? That's true, but if he can't contact anyone, how can he get help from others!

Thinking of this, Aisen didn't have time to think about other things. He took out a playing card and transformed it into a black cloak, which he draped over himself, and then with a flash, he disappeared without a trace.

...

London, Charing Cross Road.

Shops lined both sides of the street, and the crowds were bustling. Although it was still 1972 at this time, the prosperous scene was still impressive.

At a corner of the street, a figure flashed, and Aisenappeared here.

On the ordinary street, there were ordinary people coming and going. If he hadn't known what kind of world this was beforehand, it would be hard to imagine that there was a Wizarding World hidden in the Dark Dimension.

Looking at the crowds coming and going, Aisen's heart moved. He extended the black cloak draped over him upwards to form a hood, covering his head.

Immediately after, Aisen took a deep breath, removed the Disillusionment Charm he had cast on himself, and then walked out from the street corner and slowly walked towards the direction of the crowd.

As he walked, Aisen passed through the crowd, constantly paying attention to their reactions. But just as he had previously guessed, no one paid attention to him.

Or rather, even though he was wearing this relatively strange outfit, no one looked at him with curious eyes. It was as if he didn't exist at all.

"As expected, even walking openly on the street, no one can see me!" Aisen sighed, and with a thought, he walked in another direction.

Soon, he arrived in front of a narrow and dilapidated shop, which was his first stop entering the Wizarding World—the Leaky Cauldron.

Pushing the door open, Aisen entered the interior of the pub. Before he could close the door, he turned around and saw that the door had closed at some point.

The scene inside the pub was basically the same as when Aisen first entered the Leaky Cauldron. With a quick glance, he saw some Witches wearing coats and top hats, talking loudly about something.

Tom, the pub owner, yes, a younger Tom, placed a glass filled with a bright red drink in front of a male Witch who was smoking a pipe, and then returned behind the bar.

As for Aisen, who had pushed the door open and entered, it was as if he had been ignored by everyone. No one paid any attention to him. Yes, even Tom, the owner of the Leaky Cauldron, didn't greet him as a customer.

Seeing this scene, Aisen shook his head slightly.

Originally, he didn't think it was a big deal that ordinary people couldn't see him. Maybe Witches who possessed magic power could discover him. But he didn't expect that these Witches couldn't discover him either.

Looking at the busy scene in the pub and listening to the chaotic chatter, Aisen seemed to think of something. His eyes lit up and he walked straight to the bar.

He waved his hand in front of the pub owner Tom's eyes several times, confirming that he really couldn't see his movements, and then he "gently" called out.

"Hey!"

Aisen was sure that he had indeed shouted out, and he had shouted out less than two meters in front of the pub owner Tom.

As a result, the other party seemed to hear nothing, and continued to busy himself.

"That doesn't make sense! Although I'm in the Mirror Space, since I can hear the other person's voice, there's no reason why they shouldn't be able to hear what I say!" Aisen felt a little strange.

Could it be that the reason he could hear sounds was because the space he was in was a mirror of the real world, which could also project sounds. Conversely, the sound of him speaking in the Mirror Space was blocked?

Hmm—

That's right, if Tom could hear his voice, then there's no reason why the Time Travel Trait within him couldn't take him away.

"In other words, I need to know the coordinates of the real world to transmit sound?" Aisen immediately smiled bitterly.

That's it, the Mirror Space seems to exist attached to the real world, so the sound of speaking in the Leaky Cauldron must follow some kind of rule, reach the coordinates of the Mirror Space, and then he hears it.

But conversely, it's unlikely for him to transmit sound from the Mirror Space to the real world. Unless he can decipher these coordinates, or use other means.

Shaking his head, Aisen stepped through the bar and came to the small courtyard surrounded by walls.

Looking at the scene here, he found that there were still some weeds growing here, and garbage cans were still piled up, so he couldn't help but smile.

Aisen walked to the side of the garbage can, ready to act. Because he wanted to see what kind of situation this Wizarding World building would reflect into the Mirror Space.

After taking a deep breath, Aisen reached out and knocked on the wall brick above the garbage can. Then the wall brick began to move, and a small hole appeared in the middle.

Just like the first time he stepped into the Wizarding World and asked the pub owner Tom for help, the opening then grew larger.

But unfortunately, the change had just begun and was not yet finished when the hole in the middle disappeared without a trace. Upon closer inspection, one would find that the wall in front of him had not changed at all.

It was as if everything that happened before was an illusion.

"The passage can't be fully opened?" Aisen frowned slightly, deep in thought.

That's right, he had tried many times before, actively interfering with "reality" in the Dream World could only cause two seconds of influence or destruction. So if this passage couldn't be completely opened within two seconds, it would naturally return to its original state!

After all, Aisen hadn't actually opened this passage in reality.

However—

Aisen came back to his senses and smiled slightly. He stepped forward and knocked on the wall brick of that wall a few more times, and then when a small hole appeared in the middle, he directly transformed into light and passed through it.

Chapter 367: Independent of the World

After passing through the opening, Aisen's figure instantly appeared beside a street.

Turning back, he saw that the changing opening in the wall had disappeared again.

Of course, it wasn't like the normal process where the opening in the wall expands to become an archway, and then changes back into a wall after the Witch passes through; instead, it was as if there had been no change at all.

Clearly, although the space Aisen was in was a reflection of the real world, opening the archway leading to Diagon Alley was something that couldn't be done.

Hmm—

Or perhaps, it couldn't be done within a mere two seconds.

According to the normal process, the mirror space Aisenwas in didn't differ much from the real world. This meant that he could open the archway in the mirror space by tapping specific bricks in the courtyard behind the Leaky Cauldron.

His previous actions also proved this point; after Aisentapped the bricks, an opening appeared in the middle of the wall. But unfortunately, two seconds was not enough time for the opening to expand to the extent of becoming an archway.

So, when Aisen, transforming into light, passed through the opening and arrived at Diagon Alley, then looked back, he would find that the wall was still a solid wall, not an open archway.

After all, after the two seconds were up, the wall in the real world hadn't actually changed at all. Therefore, when reflected in the mirror space, that wall would naturally quickly return to its original state.

"What a pity!" Turning his head, Aisen couldn't help but shake his head.

Because he suddenly thought, if the interference effect on the mirror space could be extended for a while, he could use this to explore more secrets.

After all, his every move within the mirror space was actually a form of feedback from the real world. And while he was in the mirror space, he wouldn't be discovered by others.

With such convenient conditions, couldn't he go anywhere he wanted?

But as he said before, this feedback of the mirror space interfering with the real world could only last for two seconds; after two seconds, the effect was completely eliminated.

So, it was impossible for Aisen to engage in any exploratory activities in the mirror space.

After all, although he was in the mirror space, he couldn't control it, right?

Wait a minute—

Control the mirror space?

Could this be the way to return to the real world? Aisencalmed down and began to ponder this matter.

It seemed to make quite a bit of sense.

Since he was in this special mirror space, after controlling it, even if he couldn't return to the real world, finding the coordinates of the real world through the connection between the mirror space and the real world should be no problem.

At that time, perhaps he could return through the power of Time Travel's characteristics.

But controlling the mirror space? Aisen looked around at the various shops on both sides of the street, then lowered his head to look at the cobblestone road before him, and finally looked at the male Witches and witches walking back and forth on the street, and couldn't help but shake his head.

Because for Aisen at the moment, this was an unrealistic matter.

One must know that although Aisen called the place he was in a mirror space, it wasn't just a simple space. Like the concept of a mirror space, it was exactly the same as the real world, a space between illusion and reality.

This also meant that its size was the same as the real world.

So, how was Aisen to control this mirror space as vast as the real world? After all, asking him to control a universe was truly asking too much of him.

"Mirror space?" As the thought turned in his mind, Aisencouldn't help but shake his head.

Controlling the mirror space, if he could truly achieve complete control, then what he would be controlling wouldn't be a mirror space, but a mirror dimension.

If that were truly the case, wouldn't he be able to act as a dimension demon god? Thinking of this, Aisen suddenly burst into laughter.

After burying this thought in his heart, Aisen took a step and slowly walked down the street.

Eeylops Owl Emporium, oh, this shop was here so early. Hmm, joke shop, the place the Weasley Twins loved to frequent the most.

"The Christmas holidays are almost over, have you finished your holiday homework?"

"Of course! I finished it ages ago. It's just a shame we can't do magic outside of school, Severus!"

"I think you need to be a bit careful, Lily!"

Two voices drifted from a distance, entering Aisen's ears, and their content caught his attention.

Aisen then turned his head to look and saw two Little Wizards around eleven years old, each holding a few slightly worn-looking books, who had just come out of Flourish and Blotts.

While talking, the two walked along the cobblestone street, finally entering an apothecary shop in a corner on the north side of Diagon Alley.

That was—

Severus Snape and Lily Evans?

Thinking about the content of their conversation just now, Aisen suddenly showed a look of realization.

That's right, it was January 1, 1972, and both of them had started studying at Hogwarts in 1971. So, at this time, they should be first-year students at Hogwarts.

This time was exactly the holiday period, and after the Christmas holidays ended, they would return to school to continue their first year's second semester of study.

Not long after, Aisen saw a male and a female Little Wizard come out of the apothecary shop and leave together, laughing.

"Tsk tsk! This is truly—an enviable childhood sweetheart relationship!" Aisen smiled and nodded, then shook his head again, "Unfortunately, one went to Gryffindor, and the other went to Slytherin."

Yes, Lily entered Gryffindor House, and Snape entered Slytherin House.

Originally, if the two entered two different Houses, it wouldn't be a big deal. But the atmosphere of opposition between Gryffindor and Slytherin was particularly severe.

What was even more unfortunate was that Snape, this fellow, just had to dream of becoming Voldemort's subordinate. And the kind of people Voldemort advocated dealing with when recruiting subordinates were people like Lily.

Speaking of which, Lily was also quite tolerant of Snape.

But in the end, the two drifted further and further apart due to ideological differences.

It wasn't until 1975, when they were in their fifth year, that Snape's single word "Mudblood" completely broke Lily's defenses. As a result, the entanglement between the two ended there.

After that, Lily got together with James Potter, got married, and had a child, who was the famous Savior, Harry Potter. And after that, Snape still couldn't forget her...

"What a pity!" Thinking of the point in time now, where the two were still carefree young boy and girl, Aisen felt regret for their future tragic lives.

Indeed, if Snape hadn't been so obsessed with Black magic and so keen on being Voldemort's subordinate during his time at school, then the two should have had a different ending.

However, while feeling regret for their future circumstances, Aisen couldn't help but think of a question: what would he do if he had traveled through time and been reborn directly as Snape?

Uh, if there were no accidents, he should make sure to keep a low profile, hide himself, and not become Voldemort's target.

As the saying goes, as long as I'm "bad" enough, no one will want me as a subordinate! Right?

Cough cough—

Well, if he became Snape, he definitely wouldn't want to continue following the life trajectory in the original work. So, during his time studying at school, he would naturally invest all his energy into improving his strength.

After all, at that time, it was still during the First Wizarding War, and the situation could be said to be very bad. Therefore, improving strength was absolutely the top priority.

As for how to handle the relationship with Lily Evans, well, Aisen felt he could only let nature take its course.

Looking at the Witches passing by on the street, Aisenshook his head to clear his mind of distracting thoughts, and with a thought, he went straight to the middle of the street.

Earlier, he had conducted some experiments; destroying anything in the mirror space would not affect the real world, and the destroyed objects would also return to their original state.

At this moment, he suddenly stood in the middle of the main street, just to test what kind of effect directly interfering with people would have.

Not even a minute later, a brown-haired Witch walked towards Aisen from the opposite direction; she was wearing a light red robe, which looked somewhat bright but not overly conspicuous.

Aisen stood still, and the Witch, as if she hadn't seen him, walked straight into him.

Before the other party hit Aisen, Aisen suppressed his instinctive urge to dodge and stood still. What happened next surprised him a little.

He saw that the Witch, the moment she touched him, seemed to have touched a phantom and passed directly through him.

Or rather, the Witch seemed like a virtual character projected holographically, passing directly through Aisenwithout causing the slightest effect.

Turning his head, Aisen saw the Witch continuing to walk towards the other side, presumably also unaffected.

"Okay, it seems this is how it is!" After a while, Aisenshrugged expressionlessly and walked towards the Quality Quidditch Supplies on the north side of Diagon Alley.

His purpose wasn't to buy anything. After all, he couldn't interact with the real world now. He just wanted to try and see if his Golden Finger would react to real-world magical items from across the mirror space.

After leisurely stepping into the Quality Quidditch Supplies, Aisen went directly to the display window, looked around, and placed his hand on a Firebolt 1001 model broomstick.

As a result, Aisen shook his head slightly and withdrew his hand.

That's right, although he had expected this, the lack of reaction from his Golden Finger still made him feel a little disappointed.

However, in an instant, Aisen calmed his emotions.

After all, this wasn't a magical item from the real world, so it wasn't strange that it couldn't provide extraordinary characteristics to his Golden Finger.

However, two attempts, successively discovering that he couldn't contact people and couldn't use his Golden Finger to obtain extraordinary characteristics from real-world magical items, meant that Aisen was now independent of the real world.

Thinking this way, Aisen's expression became a little dejected.

Because, just as he had thought before, if he couldn't contact or communicate with people, the difficulty of returning to the real world would inevitably increase significantly.

Why say that? Because being able to communicate with people means being able to research together. For example, he could directly find Dumbledore, or even Zou Zunian and others.

It's undeniable that his current strength definitely far surpasses all the witches and Wizards in this world. But Aisen would never deny the wisdom of others.

He thought that when it came to how to return to the real world, a group of people researching together would definitely be better than him researching alone.

But now, it was confirmed that he really couldn't communicate with people, so the current situation was truly terrible.

Shaking his head with a sigh, Aisen began to wander aimlessly.

...

After learning that he was, to some extent, trapped in this mirror space, Aisen's emotions fluctuated significantly in the following period.

He didn't know if it was a side effect of his strength growing too quickly, or perhaps because his state of mind cultivation was insufficient, but Aisen always felt inexplicably irritable.

Sometimes he felt exceptionally calm, able to observe the world peacefully from the perspective of an observer, but at other times, he would experience emotional fluctuations of depression and irritability for several days in a row.

At first, when this problem occurred, he didn't pay too much attention, thinking he was just worried about not being able to return to the real world.

But after a long time, the fact that this depression and irritability still clung to him made him start to take it seriously. At that moment, he thought of some things Zhang Mingwen had once said to him.

This made him feel that perhaps he needed to start some spiritual cultivation.

Thus, Aisen no longer had the leisure to wander around the world; instead, he focused his energy on the libraries around the world.

He read some Buddhist and Daoist classics, as well as some world-renowned literary works. He read biographies and also sayings of ancient sages.

At first, it was quite difficult for Aisen to read; he even needed to cast a Calming Charm to help him concentrate. But slowly, Aisen truly understood the principles taught in the books and gained his own understanding of cultivating his mind and character.

A month later, Aisen truly realized something: what he read was not just the content recorded in a certain book. More importantly, he also learned how to grasp the deeper meaning of that knowledge.

Thus, his state of mind became completely calm. The situation where he used to need to cast a Calming Charm to calm down and concentrate became the norm.

Three months later, Aisen found that he had completely calmed down.

This didn't mean he wasn't calm or rational before, but rather that he no longer had those inexplicable feelings of depression and irritability.

That evening, when he left the Library once again and came to the bustling street, although he was in the midst of endless noise, he felt a rare sense of peace.

This time, Aisen was certain he hadn't achieved anything remarkable in spiritual cultivation, yet he felt his heart was very peaceful.

This reminded him of the feeling of confusion and helplessness when he was just born in this life and came to a foreign land. But it wasn't long before this feeling was dispelled by his parents' love.

From that moment on, the peace he felt was the peace Aisen felt now. Although he no longer had the carefree nature of childhood, it seemed as if he had gained a kind of "freedom".

It was as if all the troubles he had encountered during his growth in this life had been washed away, and as if all the schemes in the Wizarding World had been set aside, giving Aisen a feeling of lightness.

In essence, Aisen wouldn't abandon his plans, but his current state of mind was like this: very peaceful, very calm.

Of course, this didn't mean that he wouldn't experience emotions like joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness when he encountered things in the future, but rather that he had a better grasp of his state of mind.

According to Zhang Mingwen, it probably meant that after the Dao Heart became firmer, the seven emotions and six desires would be easier to control, or rather, less likely to backlash against oneself.

Uh. Saying it like this seems a bit complicated.

To put it simply, if Aisen encounters such difficulties in the future, the state of mind he has now comprehended will prevent him from experiencing emotions like depression and irritability every now and then.

That's right, this comprehension wouldn't disappear.

After all, the knowledge he learned and deeply understood from books, as well as the insights he gained, wouldn't disappear.

To take Aisen's current situation as an example, after several tests, he could roughly know one thing clearly about his current environment: it should be independent of the real world.

And a very crucial point is that it's the kind of independence where there's no communication with the real world whatsoever.

Coupled with the fact that the Time Travel characteristic doesn't work, Aisen is basically trapped in this "mirror space".

So, because of the gains from his spiritual cultivation during this period, he was very certain that he would no longer have any overly intense negative emotional fluctuations.

In other words, he didn't want to dwell on the reasons or give up on himself; instead, in the time to come, he would specifically research the problem of how to return to the real world.

That's right, since Aisen had enough time to research this problem, he naturally had confidence that he could successfully return to the real world.

Thoughts turning in his mind, Aisen smiled as he stood on the street. His eyes swept over the shops beside the street, and a television set displayed on the counter inside a clock shop caught his attention.

What he noticed wasn't anything else, but the date it displayed today—April 2, 1972.

"It's this time!" Aisen muttered to himself, a look of realization appearing on his face.

That's right, earlier he was still thinking about confirming whether this world was the main world he belonged to. So now, he had to go back home and see if there was another him who came to this point in time to give his younger self the Golden Finger.

If there really was another him who eagerly ran over to give his infant self the Golden Finger, then it would naturally indicate that this world was Aisen's main world.

But if there wasn't another him giving his infant self the Golden Finger, then it would mean this world wasn't his main world.

In that case, the situation might become even worse.

But no matter what, Aisen wouldn't give up on finding the way back!

Chapter 368: So That's How It Is

England, Manchester, Altrincham.

Aisen came here once again, but this time, his purpose was very clear: to confirm whether this reality was his main world.

Since he was in a special place similar to a mirror space, he didn't have to worry about being discovered by others, so Aisen naturally didn't cast spells to hide himself.

To ensure he could observe things in time, he first directly opened God's Perspective, imprinting the entire town's situation in his mind.

Then, he focused his attention on the edge of the town near the suburbs.

That's right, Aisen was going to observe the happenings near his hometown over the next few days.

If the situation where his future self gave his infant self a cheat occurred, it would mean this world was indeed his main world.

This point should become clear within the next few days.

Soon, two days passed.

At noon that day, Aisen immediately breathed a sigh of relief after suddenly seeing a figure appear behind his old home.

Because the moment he saw the figure, he knew it was indeed him who had gone back in time last time to give his infant self the cheat.

The moment the figure appeared, he cast the Disillusionment Charm, Concealment Charm, and other spells on himself to completely hide.

Aisen smiled at this; he didn't investigate how to use spells to break these concealment Charms, but instead focused his gaze inside his old home.

Immediately after, Aisen saw a ripple spread through the room, and his much younger mother fell into the Dream World.

The changes that happened inside the house next were exactly the same as what he had done before. His infant self, with a faint dark spiritual light appearing on his body, flew up and merged into the golden chain.

Then, the golden chain was manipulated by his past self and finally merged into his infant self.

Finally, the magic covering the entire house was removed, and his young mother returned to reality from the Dream World.

After everything was completed silently, Aisen smiled and shook his head, closing God's Perspective.

Since he had indeed witnessed himself giving himself the cheat, it meant that this world in 1972 was truly his main world.

So the next thing was to find a way to break through this mirror space that 'trapped' him and return to the reality of 1995.

"Hmm—, after confirming the main world, my mood is still a bit turbulent. It seems my path of spiritual cultivation needs to continue!" Aisen muttered to himself with a smile on his face. "Tsk tsk—"

Regarding the cultivation of the Dao heart, I remember making many tranquilizing crystal balls a long time ago, and they could also extract traits. Trying it now should be helpful!"

With a thought, Aisen directly took out a crystal ball from his storage ring. Immediately, a faint wave rippled out, adding a sense of tranquility and peace to him.

With a shift in his will, the virtual interface of the cheat appeared before Aisen's eyes, and at the same time, a prompt window on the virtual interface also appeared before him.

"Discovered Extraordinary Trait—Excellent-Grade Tranquilizing Trait. Consume one Miracle Trait to replicate?"

The interface change and the prompt window were no different from before. Aisen then directly consumed a Miracle Trait to replicate it and then directly fused this extraordinary trait onto himself.

After the Tranquilizing Trait was fused onto his body, Aisen's mind, which was already very comfortable and peaceful, felt as if it was suddenly surrounded by a warm force, making his entire being feel even more 'relaxed'.

For example, Aisen had been cultivating his mind for several months, and his mental state had greatly improved. It was like carving out a clear pond within his mind, allowing him to maintain a peaceful state of mind at all times.

However, this level of mental cultivation wasn't very profound. He believed that if something particularly stimulating happened, it could still completely stir up that pond and greatly affect him.

But after fusing the Tranquilizing Trait into his body this time, it was as if, building upon his original mental cultivation, a spring had opened up from that clear pond, giving him new support.

It was as if that spring would continuously pour out new water, constantly cleansing his mind, making his mental cultivation even more solid.

"Eternal Dao Heart?" Aisen suddenly remembered what Zhang Mingwen had said earlier.

He had never imagined what the concept of an Eternal Dao Heart truly was, what kind of mental cultivation realm was needed to achieve it.

But after fusing the Tranquilizing Trait at this moment, it felt as if a deeply rooted pillar supporting the heavens had been erected in the depths of his heart, instantly giving him a feeling of extreme mental solidity.

This feeling seemed to give him a glimmer of the concept of an Eternal Dao Heart.

Of course, Aisen knew he was still a long way from the so-called Eternal Dao Heart, but it was undeniable that he could vaguely grasp what this concept was.

After understanding these things, Aisen couldn't help but feel quite emotional for a moment.

Because with his memories from his previous life, he knew very well how difficult mental cultivation was.

Not to mention anything else, just look at the clever method of 'Entering Tranquility' Aisen used when he planned to learn Occlumency not long after entering Hogwarts.

To achieve something, one must start from Entering Tranquility. After that, there are the realms of Entering Samadhi and even Sitting and Forgetting.

Of course, Aisen wasn't sure what realms came after that.

But no matter what, he knew very well that mental cultivation was an extremely difficult path.

After all, although he had achieved some results over these past few months, they couldn't truly be called accomplishments. However, after finally fusing the Tranquilizing Trait, this extraordinary trait, Aisen felt the change in himself.

This mental change was too obvious; it was as if he, who had been floating in the air, suddenly had his feet firmly on the ground, feeling exceptionally clear.

"Very good, with this change, I am even more confident about returning to the real world!" Aisen said with a face full of smiles.

Next, Aisen's actions didn't stop; instead, he continued to take out two telescopes.

That's right, one of them seemed to be one he had bought a long time ago. After discovering the Viewing Distance Enhancement Trait, he originally wanted to replicate and fuse it, but due to the lack of Miracle Traits, he never had the chance to fuse it.

As for the other one, it was modified by the Weasley Twins whom he had asked. They transformed the original telescope into a see-through telescope.

And the Viewing Distance Enhancement Trait, which originally had no prefix grade, also became the Excellent-Grade Super Viewing Distance Trait because of this.

Aisen tried both telescopes. One only had the function of viewing distant objects, while the other, in addition to viewing distant objects, could also see through things.

Simply put, if the target being viewed was in an open area, the effects of the two were basically indistinguishable. But if the target was blocked by walls or clouds, the former would see practically nothing, while the latter could see through to the target.

"Discovered Extraordinary Trait—Viewing Distance Enhancement Trait. Consume one Miracle Trait to replicate?"

"Discovered Extraordinary Trait—Excellent-Grade Super Viewing Distance Trait. Consume one Miracle Trait to replicate?"

Since he was no longer lacking Miracle Traits, Aisen had no more reservations. He then directly replicated both extraordinary traits and subsequently fused them directly onto his eyes.

Aisen, who originally thought there would be no problems after fusing, instead felt a swollen and uncomfortable sensation in his eyes.

However, Aisen, due to his stable Dao heart at this time, did not panic. Instead, he calmly contemplated the reason for this change.

At this moment, the surging magic within Aisen's body seemed to be pulled, continuously flushing towards his eyes. Various uncomfortable sensations flooded into his eyes, making Aisen unable to resist pressing on his eyelids with his hands and massaging them gently.

However, as soon as he made this movement, Aisenthought of what had happened earlier in the Great Hall at Hogwarts. Immediately, he seemed to understand something, and a look of realization appeared on his face.

Previously, because Aisen wanted to 'hear' sounds by viewing through God's Perspective, he had developed a method based on the Super Senses Charm that allowed visual information to be fed back to his hearing.

In addition, he also borrowed the structure of the Basilisk's eyes to construct a similar runic pair of eyes, which he integrated into his own eyeballs.

These various methods, combined with the baptism of magic in his body on his eyes, caused an audiovisual resonance that led to a very obvious transformation of his eyes.

Aisen remembered very clearly that he was in the Great Hall at Hogwarts at that time. Moreover, it seemed to have caused quite a stir because the commotion was relatively large.

That transformation not only unified his sight and hearing but also greatly enhanced both his vision and hearing.

After integrating two extraordinary traits this time, the discomfort in Aisen's eyes felt just like that transformation. This made him realize that his eyes were probably about to undergo a second transformation.

In fact, Aisen was not surprised when he guessed that this transformation was caused by the integration of two extraordinary traits into his eyes this time.

After all, he had felt before that his eyes had actually been continuously transforming subtly all along.

Initially, he thought that after his magic had increased by over a thousand times, his eyes should have undergone a transformation under the baptism of magic long ago. He didn't expect that the transformation would only begin after integrating the extraordinary traits this time.

Buzz—

A silent sound echoed in Aisen's mind, and streams of air condensed around Aisen, constantly swirling around, creating gusts of wind that tore through the air.

Subsequently, Aisen felt a warm current surge in his eyes, as if they were soaking in warm spring water, which was exceptionally comfortable. Then, all feelings of swelling and discomfort completely subsided.

After opening his eyes, Aisen found that his eyes had returned to normal.

"The commotion from this eye transformation seems to be much smaller than before!" Aisen blinked, a smile appearing on his face.

That's right, during the last eye transformation, his eyes seemed to have even shot out "lasers"!

"Hmm—, this vision and hearing?" After opening his eyes, Aisen looked up and tried it out, immediately exclaiming in surprise.

Because he found that his vision had indeed increased to a terrifying degree. Among other things, he could now look directly up at the sky from Earth and see the surface of Mars.

Of course, Aisen knew that his vision had greatly increased due to another transformation of his eyes, but it was still far from being able to see other planets.

He knew that the reason his vision could reach this level was simply because he had integrated two extraordinary traits.

Besides that, after some testing, Aisen also discovered another change: he indeed had the ability of X-ray vision.

Simply put, Aisen is now standing in Altrincham, but if he wants to see the Castle of Hogwarts School directly, he can just look in the direction of Hogwarts School.

Because his line of sight will pass through layers of walls and various obstacles along the way according to his will, and fall upon the walls of Hogwarts Castle.

In other words, Aisen is now similar to having divine sight. Uh, no, he doesn't currently possess microscopic vision.

But regardless, Aisen was very satisfied with the changes resulting from the integration of the two extraordinary traits.

After feeling satisfied, Aisen looked at the changes on the virtual interface and immediately smiled. At this time, his character panel had changed:

Character: Eisen Turner

Extraordinary Talent: magic (Activated)

magic Value: 36460360 (Increases by 10 magic per day)

Extraordinary Traits: Legendary Spellcasting Trait (Integrated), Legendary Immortality Trait (Integrated), Legendary Observation Trait (Integrated), Legendary Time Travel Trait (Integrated), Legendary Self-HealingTrait (Integrated), Fine Calming Trait (Integrated), Viewing Distance Enhancement Trait (Integrated), Fine Super Vision Trait (Integrated)

Miracle Trait: 9974 (Automatically gain 1 per year)

With a thought, after closing the character panel, Aisenfell into contemplation.

Because he had previously used a magical recorder to record the scream of Mandrakes, and after trying it at the time, he found that he could obtain a Fine Sound Attack Trait.

Now, Aisen was considering whether to integrate this trait.

Of course, for Aisen, whether to integrate it or not wasn't about whether he was still agonizing over wasting a Miracle Trait. It was about the fact that his strength was already invincible.

Given this, integrating the Sound Attack Trait wasn't very important to him.

Of course, Aisen wasn't saying he didn't care or didn't want to integrate it, etc. He was just unsure whether the effect produced after integrating this trait would be active or passive.

If it was active, like his Observation Trait, which could be actively opened and closed, then it would be fine and controllable by Aisen's will.

But if it was passive, like the Self-Healing Trait integrated before and the Calming Trait integrated just now, then it wouldn't be very appropriate for Aisen.

After all, if this extraordinary trait was really like a passive skill, it would mean that every time he talked to anyone in the future, it would directly turn into an attack.

He definitely couldn't accept this point.

So, after thinking for a long time, Aisen still decided to temporarily give up on integrating this extraordinary trait.

...

"Hmm, that's how it is for now. From now on, I need to focus my energy on finding a way to return to the real world." After making his decision, Aisen casually shrugged his shoulders, stretched out his limbs, and lay down on the ground covered with green grass.

Although the storage ring he was wearing could indeed extract and replicate an extraordinary trait, the problem was that the space provided by the ring in his hand was too small.

This was why he had previously considered trying to use the Undetectable Extension Charm again to expand the space of a container with a storage trait.

It was just a pity that he was currently in a mirror space and couldn't obtain new materials. Therefore, he could only temporarily put aside the plan to extract the storage space trait and do it after returning to the real world in the future.

"It's a shame I can't communicate with people in the real world. Then, maybe with the help of others, I could locate the real world." Lying on the ground, looking up at the clear sky, Aisen pondered methods for finding the coordinates of the real world.

Coordinates? Location?

Aisen placed his hands under his head and slowly closed his eyes.

Currently, he could hear sounds from the real world. If he were to locate it by starting from sounds, it should be a feasible method.

However, the feedback from the real world to the mirror space was unidirectional, so relying on sound feedback to locate the real world might not be a simple matter.

But if not through sound, what method should be used to locate the real world?

This was destined to be a long-term battle.

Fortunately, Aisen's mental cultivation had increased significantly, and he had integrated the Calming Trait. Otherwise, without anyone to talk to for a long time, he probably wouldn't be able to last long!

Hmm? Chat? Chat Group?

Aisen opened his eyes and slowly sat up.

Then, with a thought, he opened the virtual chat interface, only to find that his conversation history with Hermionewas still stuck on October 4th, 1995.

Although Aisen and Hermione communicated through the Chat Group, they actually contacted each other through a contract.

Contract power? That's right! The connection of contract power is indeed very close. He seemed to be able to locate the real world through the contract connection.

Thinking of this, Aisen's heart stirred. He stretched out his hand, and the book of aisen emerged from his hand.

Rubbing the book of aisen, he thought of the illusory figure of Aisen previously hidden within Lockhart's body, secretly throwing the paper slip for participating in the Triwizard Tournament into the fire goblet.

For a moment, Aisen had a sudden realization.

"Could it be that because I was stuck outside the real world, trapped in this place similar to a mirror space, it was necessary to use the power of the contract to guide me back to the real world, which was why those preparations were made?" Aisen seemed to have figured something out, showing a look of sudden understanding.

So that's it!

If he had the previous contract connection with Hermione, it seemed indeed easier for Aisen to return to the real world.

Chapter 369: Wandering and "Success"

After figuring out some things, Aisen held the book of aisen in his hands, fully mobilizing the magic in his body, and began to sense the power of the contract extending from the book of aisen towards an unknown direction.

But after sensing for a long time, Aisen had to shake his head and give up this behavior, then put the book of aisenback into his body.

This time, he could indeed sense the power of the contract extending to the unknown, and its subtle changes.

But unfortunately, Aisen did not sense a specific location.

Of course, this does not mean that the contractual connection between Aisen and the book of aisen, and between the book of aisen and Hermione, is not close enough.

He believed that being in the mirror space, he could actually connect to the real world through the power of the contract.

After all, if the power of the contract can penetrate and extend from the illusory Dream World to the real world, then in this mirror-like space, there is no reason why it cannot extend to the real world.

But the problem is, the time Aisen is currently in is 1972, April 3rd. The world he and Hermione are in is not only across worlds but also across time.

"So, is it only possible to locate the real world through the connection of the contract after Hermione makes a contract with the book of aisen?" Aisen's face showed a hint of a smile.

If this was really the case, then the person behind the hidden thought or memory body in Lockhart's body was undoubtedly himself.

After understanding these things, Aisen immediately laughed.

...

For the rest of the time, Aisen was basically completely free.

Since Aisen had previously planned to build a magicversion of a god-making project, research on the Laplace's Demon System and supercomputing was also put on the agenda.

Of course, in his free time every day, in addition to reading books to absorb the wisdom of the ancients for spiritual cultivation, Aisen would also travel to various schools and audit courses at various universities.

Especially courses related to computers in institutions of higher learning in the Muggle World. Many arguments in them greatly benefited Aisen.

In the blink of an eye, five years passed.

In these five years, Aisen's path of spiritual cultivation became smoother.

Although his overall strength was still slowly growing, his personal control over the magic in his body became more and more effortless.

Now, if outsiders saw Aisen, they would definitely regard him as an ordinary scholar.

Because at this moment, Aisen has a very obvious scholarly aura. Anyone who sees him will have an intuitive feeling that Aisen is a scholar, not a Witch.

As for the extent of his mastery of the magic in his body, Aisen even felt that he had reached the realm of "harmony between man and nature."

One obvious change is that before, after his Transfiguration reached the realm of elemental transformation, he had tried the experience of transforming into light once.

After that, he also tried to transform into fire, flames, and other forms of elemental transformation, but they all failed in the end.

At that time, Aisen didn't understand why such changes occurred, but he could only transform into light.

In the past few years, with the slow growth of Aisen's strength and the continuous improvement of his spiritual cultivation, he gradually reached the realm of "harmony between man and nature," and then suddenly realized that his attainment in Transfiguration had become deeper and deeper.

He, who could only transform into light, can now transform into fire, electricity, and other changes.

Of course, although Aisen can achieve these changes, at present, this change is temporarily of little use to him.

After all, he could transform into light a long time ago.

Moreover, after transforming into light, his flying speed is incomparable to other changes. Of course, the convenience of other changes is not to say there is none, it's just that Aisen hasn't thought of it yet.

In addition to his attainment in Transfiguration, Aisen also perfected a skill, which is the creation of the microscopic Charm he had previously wanted to try to develop.

That's right!

Previously, Aisen thought that if he could use the convenience of the golden finger, it would be enough to use magic to modify a microscope and then directly extract and replicate its extraordinary characteristics.

But unfortunately, he was stuck in this mirror space which is independent of the real world. Therefore, modifying a microscope with magic was not something that could be done in a short time.

However, after being idle for a long time, Aisen found that if he really had to rely on the power of the contract with Hermione to locate the real world, he would have to wait a long time.

But for such a long time, Aisen couldn't just be idle and only cultivate his mind, right?

Therefore, after thinking for a while, Aisen decided that in his spare time, in addition to spiritual cultivation, he would also continue to advance his plan on the magicversion of the god-making project.

And the first step to advancing the magic version of the god-making project is to write a new Laplace's Demon System and then implant the system into all cells, and even all atoms, of the body.

And to do this, in Aisen's opinion, if he had microscopic vision, the progress would undoubtedly be much faster.

Because of this, Aisen did not continue to wait, but directly developed a microscopic Charm that can observe down to the nanometer level in these five years.

Of course, Aisen's approach was not limited to this.

To make it more convenient and easy, he also used a combination of magic characters and runes to decompose and express this Charm, and engraved and solidified it in his eyes.

As a result, coupled with the previously integrated Viewing Distance Enhancement Trait and super-distance characteristics, Aisen can now achieve long-distance vision, perspective vision, and microscopic vision with just his eyes.

In other words, the goal he had previously intended to create a ability similar to the 'Heavenly Eye' has been achieved.

Of course, in these five years, Aisen was not just busy with his own affairs.

In addition to auditing courses at universities around the world and slowly improving his spiritual cultivation, Aisenwould also go to Hogwarts School every once in a while.

The purpose, of course, was to watch some plays.

For example, the friendship between James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, and Peter Pettigrew, and the Mapthey made because of pranks.

Another example is Lupin's monthly transformation pain, and the other three becoming unregistered Animagi at the Ministry of Magic.

Of course, in addition to them, Aisen also saw the ideological differences and changes between Snape and Lily.

In this process, Aisen had to feel regret for Snape.

How to say it? After watching for a long time, he realized how stubborn Snape was.

To be honest, if Snape hadn't been obsessed with Black magic research, he and Lily would have probably been together long ago, and James would have had nothing to do with it.

Just look at the changes in the relationship between James and Lily.

At first, James deliberately showed off in front of Lily, which instead made Lily particularly dislike him. As for Snape? At first, Lily definitely liked him.

But unfortunately, Snape was always obsessed with Black magic research.

That's not all, he actually wanted to drag Lily into researching it with him.

As a result, when James and Lily became familiar with each other and changed their arrogant habits, they began to date openly.

And Snape? He could only silently accompany Black magic and lick his wounds alone.

However, putting aside the changes in their relationship with Lily, in other aspects, Aisen had to say that Jamesand the others were relatively "shameless."

Because Snape's image at school was relatively withdrawn and bad, which may be related to his obsession with researching Black magic, but no matter what, it is a fact that he did not bully other classmates.

On the other hand, what about James? He and Lupin and others, the four of them, constantly and for no reason humiliated Snape. They even hung him upside down on a tree, and lifted his robes in front of a crowd of students and Lily, revealing his underwear.

This kind of shameless behavior, to be honest, Aisengasped after seeing it.

Previously, Aisen had never understood how the feud between Snape and Harry's father came about. But this time, after a long period of observation, Aisen felt that, cough cough, James's behavior seemed to be more excessive.

Of course, sometimes he might have been unintentional, but his behavior was indeed unfriendly to Snape.

And Snape was not a person who was good at expressing himself, so obviously, Snape's heart would inevitably be more painful - especially when it came to the changes in his relationship with Lily.

To be honest, during this period, Aisen couldn't help but want to intervene several times to stop their excessive behavior. But unfortunately, being outside the world, he really couldn't intervene.

Besides some things happening within Hogwarts School, what happened in other places showed Aisen how arrogant Voldemort was at this time.

Aisen saw Voldemort gather a large number of Death Eaters to serve him, saw him advocate how the status and rights of pure-blood Witches should be above everyone else, and so on.

That would have been fine, but the key was that Voldemort also widely spread terror and massacred ordinary Muggles.

During this time, Aisen also saw how Dumbledoregathered members of the Order of the Phoenix to resist Voldemort's people, and so on.

Overall, during these five years, whether it was the Wizarding World or the Muggle World, Aisen saw a kind of chaos. Chaos caused by Voldemort alone.

However, Aisen also specifically went to China, especially visiting Zhengyi School.

At the school, Aisen saw some familiar figures. These people were once teachers at Zhengyi School, but at this point in time, they were still students at the school.

Unlike the turbulent Wizarding World in England, although Aisen didn't stay here for long, he experienced a very peaceful feeling.

...

In June 1977, the Seven Grade students of Hogwartsgraduated.

James and Lily got married after graduation and became winners in life. As for Snape, he had already become Voldemort's subordinate long ago, engrossed in the fanatical study of Black magic.

To counter the threat of Voldemort stirring up trouble in the Wizarding World, James, Lily, and others joined the Order of the Phoenix founded by Dumbledore to continue fighting against Voldemort.

Just as the real world was in turmoil, Aisen's coding of the Laplace's Demon System reached a critical point.

Because he had previously coded the Laplace's Demon System in the Dream World, Aisen's coding of the new Laplace's Demon System went very smoothly during this period.

In April 1980, after nearly three more years had passed, Aisen finally successfully coded the first version of the laplace's demon and implanted it into all the cells throughout his body.

Saying it like this is a bit abstract, but that's actually how it is.

Compared to the so-called genetic system, Aisen did not implant the Laplace's Demon System into his genes, but instead directly into all his cells.

With the help of microscopic vision, it wasn't difficult for Aisen to achieve this. Coupled with his ability to transform into light and perceive the life information contained within elementary particles, it was not impossible for him to modify all the cells in his body through system implantation.

Of course, this was just his initial idea.

Aisen actually wanted to implant the Laplace's Demon System into every atom throughout his body. But this is a long-term process, and he is not aiming for a one-step completion in this regard.

Therefore, the progress of this plan can be said to be relatively smooth.

As for how the Laplace's Demon System, coded with magical runes as the underlying architecture, uses the body's cells as hardware components to carry it, it is actually very simple.

It's like how he previously used crystal balls to build a supercomputer. You just need to replace the crystal balls performing the task with the cells in your body.

Of course, directly inserting a complete system into a cell is indeed a bit difficult.

However, if each cell is used as a node, then there is no problem.

It's like when Aisen previously built a supercomputer with crystal balls, he needed to create many nodes inside the crystal balls to host and run the various magical runes of the Laplace's Demon System.

He used his body as a platform to run the Laplace's Demon System, and every cell in his body was a node.

The moment the system was implanted, the surging magic within Aisen began to drive it as energy, and then the entire Laplace's Demon System started running.

In an instant, Aisen possessed extremely terrifying computing power.

Next, Aisen originally planned to mount all the extraordinary traits integrated within him as engines onto the system, so that they could be driven and run at any time and at all times.

But unfortunately, the extraordinary traits extracted, replicated, and then integrated into the body by the golden finger were not found and connected by the Laplace's Demon System.

Instead, the magical effects that Aisen himself disassembled and expressed using magical runes and symbols and then inscribed on his body were found and connected by the Laplace's Demon System, which then coordinated them all.

Aisen understood this very well. Because the magical runes and symbols that Aisen inscribed within his body were directly inscribed on the cells.

And since the Laplace's Demon System uses the body's cells as its operating platform, it can naturally connect to them successfully.

As for the traits extracted, replicated, and integrated into the body by the golden finger, Aisen believes that they should be able to connect in the future as time goes by, or if the Laplace's Demon System version is further upgraded.

After the magical runes and symbols inscribed within the body were taken over by the Laplace's Demon System, its powerful computing ability immediately optimized and adjusted them.

Immediately after, Aisen discovered that the Energy Absorption effect within his body increased by more than 30%. And the magical effects expressed by the runes inscribed on his body, such as unbreakable, ultimately firm and soft, ultimately hard and strong, also immediately increased by more than 10%.

Such astonishing changes left Aisen greatly shocked.

As for all the Charms he knew, they were all mounted on the system in the form of algorithms.

For example, Aisen mentally commands the Laplace's Demon System to run the Shield Charm algorithm, and then a protective shield will be directly generated in front of Aisen.

Uh, actually, it's not much different from Aisen casting spells himself before. However, by running these Charmcastings through the Laplace's Demon System, the operability will definitely be greatly improved.

For example, when Aisen casts the Shield Charm himself, whether he uses one-tenth of his strength or half of his strength to cast the Charm, he can actually control it precisely.

But after all, the magic within him is too vast, so if he wants to cast the Shield Charm, a Charm with one ten-thousandth of its power, can he still control it precisely?

This is obviously very difficult, if not impossible.

However, if Aisen mentally drives the Laplace's Demon System to run this Charm, then casting a Charm with one ten-thousandth of its power is basically not a problem.

In other words, if the Laplace's Demon Systemcoordinates all the Charms and runs them as algorithms to cast Charms, the difference is the ability to freely cast a spell with quantifiable magical effects.

This point is very important for Aisen now.

After all, unlike before, after nearly ten thousand years of "sleep," it's not an exaggeration to describe the magicwithin Aisen as an ocean of magic.

In this situation, if Aisen were to take action, it would be very difficult to control it to a safe degree.

For example, if Voldemort stood in front of him and he cast a Blasting Curse, what if he accidentally blew up the entire Earth? Would he have to restore the entire Earth back to its original state with Reparo?

Uh, theoretically, it seems Aisen can indeed do this. But in reality, he doesn't dare to try.

Of course, this is not what Aisen wants to say. He wants to say that with the Laplace's Demon Systemcoordinating everything, he can directly quantify the power of his spellcasting when he casts spells.

Simply put, when Aisen casts a spell, he can tell the Laplace's Demon System beforehand how much magic to use to run the Blasting Curse. This way, he can know exactly how much power of magic he needs to use to attack the enemy.

To give another example, if Aisen wants to cast a Sweeping Charm to clean the house, he can tell the Laplace's Demon System to use just a tiny bit of magic to run this spell.

This way, Aisen can easily clean a room without directly casting a tornado.

After doing all this, Aisen's changes didn't stop there.

Because of the Laplace's Demon System, Aisen can be said to have truly gained the ability of "multitasking" at this moment.

As of now, Aisen, as a human supercomputer, has no problem processing thousands of tasks in parallel. Even processing tens of thousands or millions of data points and tasks simultaneously will not be a problem.

Overall, at the moment the magical version of the god-making project was initially completed, Aisen was truly awesome.

Chapter 370: Dominating Reality?

Hogsmeade.

It seemed particularly bleak and desolate on this night, foreshadowing to some extent the extent of Voldemort's rampant power.

Hog's Head Bar.

After the thick fog dissipated, a sliver of moonlight shone down, casting a faint glow on the slightly dilapidated sign of the bar.

In a hidden room within the bar, two figures, oh no, three figures, were seated cross-legged on a worn-out sofa that looked like it had been scavenged from a second-hand market.

As Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Albus Dumbledore took time today to come here to interview the descendant of a true Seer—Sybill Trelawney.

She wanted to apply to become the Divination Professorat Hogwarts School.

To be honest, Dumbledore had never believed Divination was useful and had even considered cancelling the class at the school. However, for the sake of Cassandra Trelawney, he still came to this bar intending to meet her.

"Miss Trelawney, I am Dumbledore, the current Headmaster of Hogwarts School, and I have come here specifically to interview you regarding your application for the Divination Professor position." After what seemed like a long silence, the uncomfortable atmosphere prompted Dumbledore to speak to the figure across from him.

"I am very grateful to Professor Dumbledore for giving me this interview opportunity!" The figure across the way removed her hood, pushed up a pair of large round glasses perched on her nose, and stood up to bow to Dumbledore.

Beside the two, Aisen sat on the worn-out sofa with his legs crossed, watching the scene unfolding before him with interest.

That's right, Aisen, who had implanted the Laplace's Demon System into all his cells, integrated his strength, and gained powerful computational abilities, temporarily had nothing else to do.

So, in his leisure time, Aisen came to the Hog's Head Bar, wanting to witness the famous scene that would occur here.

Listening to Dumbledore and Trelawney's conversation, Aisen suddenly had a thought: He could hear their conversation. This was just as the laplace's demon had thought before, since sound could transmit to this mirror world, could the transmission pattern be determined through calculation?

After all, compared to before, Aisen now possessed very powerful computational abilities. So, if he used the capabilities of the Laplace's Demon System for analysis and calculation, it should be able to achieve some results, right?

Thinking of this, Aisen immediately diverted his attention to create a task with the highest priority in the Laplace's Demon System—Task Sequence 1: Calculate the frequency or pattern of sound transmission from the real world into the mirror space through sound computation...

After the task was established, Aisen allocated a portion of computational power to hide it and continue running in the background.

In just an instant, Aisen had completed all of this, and then refocused his attention on Dumbledore and Trelawney.

"So, madam, are you planning to demonstrate your method of Divination to me?" Dumbledore said with his hands crossed, and then gestured with his hand.

"Ah, yes, that's right, Professor Dumbledore, I need to make some preparations." Trelawney said, reaching up to smooth the tangled mess of hair on her head, which was knotted like rope, and then hastily pulled out the satchel from her embrace and quickly rummaged through it.

A moment later, Trelawney pulled out a crystal ball from her satchel, then dragged over a dilapidated, moldy-smelling table from the side and placed it on top.

"Hogwarts has Divination, I know what methods of Divination you use!" Dumbledore watched her with interest, then pulled out his wand and tapped the table.

Subsequently, a large teapot and two crystalline cups appeared on the table. Dumbledore picked up the teapot, filled the two teacups, placed them in front of Trelawney, and asked her to give an interpretation.

Although Dumbledore at this moment was younger than the Dumbledore Aisen had seen previously, there wasn't much difference in their appearance at the two different time points.

After all, whether it was Dumbledore in 1991 or Dumbledore in 1980, he was already over a hundred years old. Now, Aisen looking at Dumbledore's expression, only felt that his complexion might be slightly better at this moment.

"Oh dear, Professor Dumbledore, I see something ominous! Death is hidden in the darkness—" Trelawneyexclaimed after rubbing the crystal ball and observing the teacups for a while.

Seeing Trelawney in this state, Aisen immediately felt a sense of familiarity. Thinking carefully, wasn't this the feeling she had left him when he had encountered her at Hogwarts School?

Smiling, Aisen shook his head and turned his gaze towards Dumbledore.

He saw disappointment in Dumbledore's eyes, and then watched him slowly stand up.

The part of the dilapidated second-hand sofa that had been pressed down suddenly sprang back up. Just as Dumbledore was about to speak and tell Trelawney that she was not suitable for the Divination Professor position, a change suddenly occurred.

Before Dumbledore could speak or take a step, Trelawneyseemed to suddenly fall into a strange state.

As if possessed by a true Seer, she rolled her eyes and began muttering to herself in a harsh, raspy voice.

"The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches... born to those who have thrice defied him... born as the seventh month dies... and the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will have powers the Dark Lord knows not..."

"This is the famous scene!" Aisen sighed slightly as he watched this.

It's a pity that the cheat he possessed wasn't one for witnessing famous scenes; otherwise, this one scene alone would probably be enough to achieve a considerable accomplishment!

CRASH—

A loud crash came from outside, startling Dumbledoreout of his contemplation.

Aisen's gaze swept over and saw a figure hurrying away outside the door. It was—Severus Snape! He was currently being grabbed by the collar by an old man who looked very much like Dumbledore, and was being roughly pulled outside.

"Boy, what in the bloody hell are you poking around here for? This isn't the place for you to cause trouble! Get out of here!" Aberforth spat, unceremoniously throwing him out of the Hog's Head Bar.

Perhaps fearing being discovered by Dumbledore, Snapedidn't resist at all, even when treated so roughly by Aberforth, simply allowing himself to be grabbed and then thrown out of the bar.

That's right, Snape had also overheard Trelawney making this prophecy in front of Dumbledore. As a result, he informed Voldemort of this prophecy.

Afterwards, Voldemort went after Harry's family.

"neither can live while the other survives... and that one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh month dies..."

Trelawney's prophecy was complete, but she seemed unaware that she had, unintentionally and in a strange state, made a highly influential prophecy.

She stared with wide eyes, looking at Dumbledorethrough her brown glasses, her face full of anticipation. Clearly, she was waiting for Dumbledore's reply!

Tsk tsk—

Seeing this, Aisen couldn't help but shake his head.

If Snape had heard the complete prophecy, would he still have informed Voldemort? Probably not! After all, informing Voldemort would mean that the child born at the end of the seventh month, and their entire family, would be in danger.

If that were the case, Snape couldn't possibly have failed to realize that Lily would also be in danger.

Hmm—

This is how fate plays tricks on people!

Thinking of what was going to happen next, Aisen also felt a bit helpless.

In reality, Voldemort was indeed a Dark Lord with great power. But that didn't mean there was no one in the world who could defeat him. At the very least, Dumbledore could contend with him.

The problem was that Voldemort had created several horcruxes, as if he were cheating. This gave him the confidence to be "reckless."

As a result, his power naturally expanded rapidly, turning the Wizarding World upside down.

In the end, he became overly arrogant and tried to kill Harry using the Killing Curse, but unexpectedly, the power on Harry rebounded and killed him instead.

From then on, Voldemort never recovered, which can be said to have sealed his eventual defeat.

...

The events that followed unfolded just as Aisen had expected. Dumbledore, who had originally planned to cancel Divination, suddenly approved Trelawney's application.

Strolling through Hogwarts Castle, Aisen could feel that the atmosphere throughout Hogwarts School was becoming increasingly oppressive.

Perhaps because of Voldemort's excessively arrogant power, students from all seven years throughout the school were instructed by their respective teachers not to wander outside the Castle.

As for places like the Forbidden Forest and Hogsmeade, they were absolutely forbidden areas.

"The darkness before dawn!" Aisen couldn't help but say after feeling this oppressive atmosphere.

That's right, although Voldemort's power had expanded almost to its peak at this time, after Harry was born, it was Voldemort's unlucky period.

After Voldemort fell, the Wizarding World could enjoy a period of peace and stability again.

In the following time, Aisen occasionally wandered around Hogwarts Castle and occasionally went outside to watch the Ministry of Magic's Aurors fight against the Death Eaters.

Although the Aurors were allowed to use Unforgivable Curses during this period, they were still at a disadvantage when facing those crazy Death Eaters.

Every day, Death Eaters were captured or even killed. Similarly, every day, Death Eaters celebrated, wantonly attacking Muggles for fun.

At the end of July 1980, the baby who would profoundly impact the Wizarding World in the future—Harry Potter—was born. At the same time, Harry's classmate, Neville Longbottom, was also born on this day.

After a while, because he knew about the prophecy, Voldemort planned to attack Harry's family.

And Snape, who caused all this, seemed to have turned into a fool and had to turn to Dumbledore, asking him to hide Harry's family completely.

Subsequently, on Dumbledore's suggestion, Harry's family moved to their home in Godric's Hollow and were protected by the Fidelius Charm.

As an observer, Aisen witnessed all of this happen.

It is regrettable that Dumbledore had originally intended to be their Secret Keeper. However, the Potters ultimately chose their good friend Sirius Black as the Secret Keeper.

If that were all, it would have been fine, but Sirius Blackdecided to switch the Secret Keeper to Peter Pettigrewbecause he felt he was too conspicuous.

James and Lily both agreed.

Because they both believed that changing the Secret Keeper to Peter Pettigrew would be more reliable. Unfortunately, they didn't know that this decision plunged them into a more terrifying situation.

Of course, Aisen was not surprised by any of this happening. Because for him, all of this was already history.

However, what surprised Aisen was that being in this mirror space, he could actually see through places protected by the Fidelius Charm.

What was very strange was that in the real world, although Harry's family was protected by the Fidelius Charm, and only the Secret Keeper knew the exact location, when mapped to the mirror space, their home address was directly known to Aisen.

After thinking about it several times, Aisen could only attribute it to the magical mirror space in the end.

...

On October 31, 1981, on the eve of Halloween, Voldemort found the Potters' hiding place through Peter Pettigrew and came to Godric's Hollow.

Just as Aisen had expected, a catastrophe occurred here.

Voldemort wantonly killed the villagers here, then went straight to the Potters' house, killed both James and Lily, and finally tried to kill Harry with the Killing Curse.

As a result, the protective magic Lily left on Harry before she died reflected Voldemort's Killing Curse, and after the curse rebounded, it destroyed Voldemort's body.

Although the outcome of the whole event seemed like child's play, it must be said that Voldemort did indeed fall because of it.

Then, Hagrid rescued baby Harry from the ruins of the house and, on Dumbledore's suggestion, sent him to the Dursleys.

In the real world, the following days became interesting.

Since Voldemort's fall, the Death Eaters seemed to have lost their backbone, with some being captured and others being interrogated. The Wizarding World suddenly became chaotic.

But it was clear that the long-standing oppressive atmosphere in the Wizarding World was gone.

Looking at the events that had happened in history, Aisensuddenly felt a sense of dullness.

On the one hand, seeing such terrible things, his mood naturally wouldn't be good. On the other hand, because he couldn't intervene in these matters, he felt particularly bored.

...

Several years had passed since he fell into this mirror space world, and Aisen's strength had also been constantly growing.

In recent days, when Aisen read in his spare time, he could always feel an unknown power brewing.

What was very strange was that the brewing of this power did not originate from within his body, nor from around him. It seemed to be emerging from an unknown place, about to leap into his body.

This feeling was strange, but it frequently allowed him to sense it.

However, in Aisen's spiritual perception, he felt that this power did not seem to cause him any harm. Therefore, Aisen was not too worried.

However, in order to constantly sense this power, Aisenstill chose to stay home directly.

Every day, Aisen would spend a large amount of time on spiritual cultivation, and the rest of his time would be devoted to the Laplace's Demon System integrated into his body.

Because he was in the mirror space, he was not worried about the damage caused by casting spells interfering with the real world. So after a lot of attempts, Aisen was able to operate the Laplace's Demon System and precisely drive every Charm.

Simply put, Aisen could now use the Fiendfyre Curse to burn a single mosquito to death, or use the Fiendfyre Curse to dry up a lake, without any difference.

Undoubtedly, with the ability of the Laplace's Demon System, he was more like a god.

That's right, like a true god, a god who can control everything!

Previously, Aisen had thought about what the real Laplace's Demon System could achieve. Calculate the entire universe? Simulate the entire universe and then predict various futures?

But if it was just calculating everything in the entire universe, it was still a bit useless for Aisen. Because what he wanted was not just to understand everything, but also—to control everything!

Just like the protagonist in a fantasy cultivation novel, after enlightenment, they understand the laws of heaven and earth, and then they can directly grasp them. But this is inherently a very strange thing.

Because Aisen himself already understood gravity, electromagnetism, the strong interaction, and the weak interaction, and had understood them quite deeply. But what could he do? He still couldn't directly control the four fundamental forces.

Just like the Laplace's Demon System integrated into his body, even if he could calculate the momentum and position of all particles in a fixed area, what could he do?

That's right, simply calculating like a supercomputer can't do anything. But the magical thing about this world is that magic itself is an extremely subjective power.

Because the Laplace's Demon System is driven by magicas the energy source, with the magical texts and runes inscribed in the body as the engine, and with Charms that can achieve various effects, Aisen can truly gradually control this world like a god.

Of course, this control does not mean that he has the authority to control reality, just as he can control everything in the Dream World. Rather, under the overall coordination of the Laplace's Demon System, the integration of his entire strength has shown signs of controlling reality.

For example, using a Fire Charm, casting fire, then using Transfiguration to change its form, turning it into lightning, turning it into a laser, turning it into a storm, and so on.

Aisen can achieve all these methods using Charms. But if he uses the Laplace's Demon System to coordinate and operate them, he can also easily do these things.

Moreover, using the Laplace's Demon System to perform these methods would be very simple, as if all the processes were directly omitted, making Aisen's performance look more like a form of control over reality.

In other words, Aisen, whose body is integrated with the Laplace's Demon System and whose strength is completely integrated, has completely leaped out of the cage of Charms.

For example, Aisen can directly dismantle the Fiendfyre Curse in the Laplace's Demon System and create various fire Charms to operate.

Or simply put, Aisen can directly give the system an instruction to generate a piece of fire covering an area of fifty miles in radius. Then, the Laplace's Demon Systemwill mobilize the magic in his body, and it can really do such a thing.

For example, he gives the Laplace's Demon System an instruction to turn the land under his feet into a glacier. Then the Laplace's Demon System mobilizes the magic in his body to perform Transfiguration, and it can really turn the earth into a glacier.

In short, after trying, Aisen found that although he had not mastered any authority, because of the combination of magic and the Laplace's Demon System, he was already able to control reality to a certain extent.

After realizing this, Aisen was delighted and paid even more attention to spiritual cultivation. After all, spiritual cultivation is also very important.
