Chapter 416: The Hard Struggle of Human Ancestors

"So the age of the dinosaurs ended just like that?" Looking at the devastation the Earth had suffered, Hermione couldn't help but murmur.

"Yes, that's right. The asteroid impact on Earth, that collision officially ended the Cretaceous period. Next is the Cenozoic era!" Aisen withdrew his gaze and closed the shared view with Hermione.

"Professor, will the dinosaurs go extinct next?" Hermionesaid with emotion, turning her gaze to Aisen. "I mean, will they go extinct within a few days?"

"A few days?" Aisen shook his head. "From the current situation, for the dinosaurs to completely go extinct, it will at least take some time. I estimate this period will be between a few years and several decades!"

"Dinosaurs can last that long?" Hermione looked at the smoke and dust drifting in the sky, a look of suspicion on her face.

"Undeniably, this asteroid that hit Earth brought a huge disaster. Thinking carefully, it might have wiped out all the dinosaurs living within a radius of several kilometers from the impact point.

But you have to think deeper. The main reason dinosaurs went extinct was that they couldn't adapt to the harsh environment after the disaster struck, wasn't it?" Aisenshrugged his shoulders.

"Exactly!" Hermione agreed wholeheartedly.

"So what was the harsh environment after the disaster? Besides the Earth's atmosphere being filled with smoke and dust, causing toxic substances to be present in the air, these smoke and dust also blocked sunlight, causing Earth's vegetation to stop growing, and then the food chain was destroyed..."

"I understand. After the food chain was destroyed, a large number of creatures died, and then the dinosaurs went extinct because they ate all the leaves!" Hermioneshowed a look of sudden realization.

"There's another important reason. After sunlight can't reach the ground, the temperature will drop rapidly!" Aisen added.

"That's right. Because the global atmosphere is filled with smoke and dust, this will last for hundreds of years, so the entire Earth will enter an ice age! This will further accelerate the extinction of dinosaurs," Hermione said with a serious expression.

"Yes, for the next few hundred years, the entire Earth will continue to experience such a terrible environment.

Only by adapting to this environment and surviving this harsh living environment can species continue to reproduce!" Aisen waved his hand slightly in the air, and the clouds in the sky had already lowered.

"Professor, can you restore the Earth's environment to the state before the asteroid hit Earth?" Hermione asked, looking at Aisen with curiosity in her eyes.

"Hmm—, about that!" With a thought, Aisen could perceive the entire Earth operating in the universe. The environmental situation, subtle changes in every corner, and so on, emerged in his mind.

At this moment, Aisen had a feeling that as long as his thoughts moved, he could disperse the smoke and dust filling the atmosphere and also repair the wounds the Earth suffered from the asteroid impact!

The Laplace's Demon System simulation screen unfolded before his eyes. Countless images were born and then disappeared again, but every simulation result showed that as long as Aisen willed it, he could restore the Earth to its original state.

Seeing this, the scene before Aisen's eyes disappeared, and the corner of his mouth had already slightly curled up.

"How about it, can Professor do it?" Seeing the expression on Aisen's face, Hermione seemed to understand something.

"I can indeed restore the Earth to its previous state!" Aisen said gently.

"Then, Professor, do you want to do that?" Hermione's face was full of smiles, as if she had a feeling of eagerness to try.

"Isn't this just messing around! Tell me, if I reverse the ecological destruction disaster on Earth this time, what will happen in the future?" Aisen looked at Hermionewith a hint of helplessness on his face.

"That's not hard to guess. I think if the Earth's current environment is restored to its previous state, then the dinosaurs will continue to survive and become the overlords of the Earth, and that will continue for a very, very long time!" Hermione said, shaking her head while holding Aisen's arm.

"Exactly! Dinosaurs will still be the overlords of the Earth, and the species that should have risen after the Cenozoic era may not appear. Most importantly, the ancestors of humans probably won't have that opportunity to rise either," Aisen added.

"But, Professor, didn't you say this is a parallel Space-Time? It doesn't matter if we change history, right?" Hermione tilted her head and came up with an excuse.

"That's true, but if you say that, it's equivalent to erasing the entire human civilization of this world. Do you think doing that is appropriate?" Aisen almost couldn't help rolling his eyes.

"This—" Hermione's face changed, and she hurriedly shook her head. "Forget it, forget it, it's really not appropriate. By the way, Professor, let's go!"

"Go?" Aisen said with a smile.

"That's what I said before, to go and see the living environment of human ancestors!" Hermione's face returned to calmness. "From now, that is, the time when dinosaurs went extinct, it's probably tens of millions of years, right?"

"That's right. After the extinction of dinosaurs, the Earth was still in the age of reptile rule for a considerable period of time. Only after the age of reptile rule on Earth completely ended would the ancestors of humans step onto the stage of history!" Aisen nodded.

"That's right, let's go, let's go, let's hurry and see—" Hermione seemed a little impatient.

"Okay, get ready, we're setting off!" Aisen said with a smile, holding Hermione's hand. Images appeared before their eyes and then disappeared.

Several decades passed, and the dinosaurs lingered on Earth, eventually heading towards extinction...

Time in the images kept advancing. Oceans became land, forests degenerated into grasslands, terrifying droughts appeared, various species took turns appearing, and the struggle for survival ignited waves of brutal peaks...

A certain scene flashed by, and Aisen and Hermione's figures flickered, leaving this era that had just been ravaged by the asteroid.

...

This was a small valley, its surface seemingly scorched by the sun. In a hidden cave on the other side of the valley, about a hundred ape-men were huddled.

Two hundred miles north of the valley, the snow on a high mountain had melted into a stream, intermittently flowing through the valley floor. A corner of the high mountain cliff extended abruptly, and the figures of Aisen and Hermione appeared out of thin air here.

"Professor, is this where human ancestors lived?" Looking around, seeing the dry and cracked land, Hermionecouldn't help but exclaim.

"That's right, this environment—" His gaze kept moving further away, watching the ape-men running on the grassland, Aisen nodded with emotion.

Compared to other fierce and brutal wild beasts, the ape-men were neither excessively small nor sufficiently agile and fierce. Therefore, in such a difficult living environment, it was extremely difficult to survive and reproduce.

"But, they will continue to survive, won't they?" Hermionelooked at all this, a hint of inexplicable shock appearing on her face.

Perhaps, she was shocked by the fragility and tenacity of life?

"That's right. They seem to be on the road to racial extinction, but in reality, I have already seen that they are about to flourish in the future!" Aisen nodded.

On the other side of the valley, among the ape-men huddled in the cave, some ape-men carried the withered, dead bodies of ape-men on their shoulders and dragged them into the cave.

That's right, one advantage they had in surviving on this land, Aisen had already seen. Looking across the entire Earth, Aisen found that they had already "stood up straight."

In addition, Aisen also saw many ape-men holding bone clubs, which meant they had already begun to use "tools."

Occasionally, some ape-men ran out of the cave, searching for berries among the withered trees, or juicy roots and leaves.

Aisen silently watched all this happen. It was clear that they couldn't find much food, but all this indicated that "wisdom" had already favored this race.

The stream flowing down from the high mountain intermittently passed through the valley floor. The season was bad, and the stream gradually dried up. Aisen saw those ape-men directly go forward, scoop up a handful of muddy water, and pour it into their mouths.

Obviously, in this era, let alone the issue of whether the water was clean or not, only survival was everything.

Clouds lifted Aisen and Hermione under their feet, their figures shrouded as they drifted into the distance.

Traveling along the way, crossing the valley and a large area of dry land, they entered a grassland.

"Professor, look—" Hermione pointed to a hill on the edge of the grassland.

Two groups of ape-men gathered on either side of the hill. They were wielding bone clubs, shouting and screaming, seemingly in a standoff. On the other side, a hint of green extended from the grassland and then disappeared into a pool of water.

After a while, the two groups of ape-men seemed to have come to an agreement. They went forward separately to drink water from the pool, and then chewed on leaves and wild fruits to satisfy their hunger.

After a few minutes, the two sides 'danced' for a while again, then dispersed.

"They were probably fighting over territory?" Aisen said thoughtfully.

Time slowly passed, and Aisen and Hermione drifted with the wind in the sky, crossing the grassland, entering the hilly area, and then crossing the primeval forest.

At dusk, some ape-men gathered and went out to forage.

They held bone clubs, shrinking their heads and acting extremely cautiously.

Their target was a river two kilometers away. Finally, they reached the edge of the river, so they quickly drank water by the river while guarding against wild beasts that might come out to forage early.

Then they quickly plunged into the withered woods in one direction.

Night fell, and the bright moon rose!

Under the night sky, it was cold and clear. The moon's brightness surpassed any star shining in the sky, slowly moving across the sky, rising to the zenith, and then slowly sliding down to the east.

Along the way, seeing one ape-man tribe after another eating raw meat and drinking blood, both Aisen and Hermione's moods seemed to have become much heavier.

"Can they survive in such a living environment?" Hermione's face showed even more worry.

Clearly, in such an environment, Hermione was also unconsciously affected.

This epic scene made people feel the shock of civilization blooming.

"Looking at their current situation, you can see that they are trying their best to survive. They can think, they can use tools, so I believe they will definitely continue to survive and multiply!" Aisen said with a faint smile on his face.

In the blink of an eye, a few days passed.

Unlike when she first arrived in this era, Hermione's face was no longer smiling at this moment.

Presumably, it was probably because in just a few days, she had witnessed how difficult it was for human ancestors to survive.

During these few days, Aisen and Hermione leisurely observed the living conditions of the ape-men.

Undoubtedly, their living environment was extremely harsh, but they were still radiating their brilliance on Earth with an extremely tenacious attitude.

Of course, on this land, survival is the only goal of every species.

Although ape-men have already given birth to wisdom and learned how to use tools, in the final analysis, it will take a very long time to continue to evolve before they can become the new overlords of the Earth.

Therefore, in these short few days, Aisen and Hermione's observations of the ape-men were actually enough.

As expected, the ape-man tribes that Aisen and Hermione saw basically did not change their daily activities.

They collected leaves, berries, and other food sufficient for a day's consumption to barely survive, gathered together to resist the attacks of fierce beasts, and lived day after day.

Occasionally, when an ape-man found a dying fierce beast, everyone would swarm up and be able to burp after eating their fill. But most of the time, they would always be hungry.

Thus, some ape-men also slept quietly to reduce the energy required for survival.

"Professor, will their living environment always be like this?" Hermione and Aisen landed on a steep cliff face.

"Of course not!" Aisen sat on a rock, unhesitatingly pulling Hermione into his arms, "Tens of millions of years, just think about it and you'll understand that for a considerable period in the past, the weather was warm, rainfall was abundant, the land was fertile, and the grass grew vigorously—"

"That must have been an era where food was available everywhere!" Hermione snuggled into Aisen's arms, her eyes sparkling with an inexplicable light.

"Yes! Now you see, those giant beasts have become extinct, and their bones have turned into fossils. But human ancestors have already adapted to the new environment. Although they are living difficultly, hope has always been there, hasn't it?"

"Professor, when do you think they will learn magic?" As if thinking of something, Hermione suddenly sat up and looked at Aisen with burning eyes.

"It's obviously not possible at this time, you have to know that although the light of wisdom is blooming in them, to master a power like magic—" Aisen spread his hands.

Let alone the ape-men of this era, even in the era where they were, didn't the Little Wizards have to obediently go to school to study after the magic riot!

Otherwise, would those people become Witch who controlled magic? That would definitely be a joke.

"Professor, how long do you think it will take for those ape-men to rise on Earth?" Hermione stood up and kicked the Crumble stone chips on the rock.

"I'm afraid it will take at least hundreds of thousands of years, or even millions of years. I'm sure this is a very long process!" Aisen reached out and traced the stone wall, and patterns appeared out of thin air.

"Professor, what are you doing?" Hermione looked at Aisen's actions with a face full of curiosity.

"Uh, leaving behind some myths and legends, what do you think?" As Aisen's thought moved, Aisen's figure appeared on the stone wall.

"Professor, aren't you afraid of changing history?" Hermione looked at Aisen holding a book on the stone wall, dumbfounded for a moment.

"There are already many myths and legends on Earth, and I don't think leaving this stone wall to spread as a myth will have much of an impact!" Aisen said with a smile.

"Okay!" Hermione nodded and said no more. "By the way, Professor, how long do you think it will take for those ape-men to master language?"

Images of the future kept flowing before Aisen's eyes, and then he casually said, "Well, that will probably be a million years from now."

"Professor, let's go back!" Hermione was silent for a while, then slowly said.

"What's wrong?" Aisen withdrew his gaze and stepped forward to stroke Hermione's head.

"Perhaps, the living environment of human ancestors is too harsh, and after watching for a few days, I feel a little heavy-hearted!" Hermione pursed her lips.

"So, do you want to see how human ancestors rose on Earth?" Aisen pondered for a while and made a suggestion.

"How to see? Go to the world a million years later?" Hermione looked puzzled.

"No, we'll look at it in a different way!" Aisen smiled and took Hermione's hand, then shared his perspective with Hermione.

As their thoughts moved, a faint silver light rose from Aisen and Hermione.

The light sprinkled like starlight within three feet of their bodies, completely enveloping their figures.

A gentle breeze blew, and starlight fell. Their figures suddenly became blurred.

Immediately after, the silver light enveloping their figures suddenly flickered. In an instant, the two of them seemed to have detached from the world, independent of the world, and no longer affected by anything.

"Professor, we are—" Hermione seemed to see the entire Earth in her eyes, and an expression of surprise appeared on her face.

"Don't be surprised, look!" Aisen said, and with a thought, the time of the entire world seemed to be adjusted.

The sun rose and quickly crossed the sky, then set on the other side.

In just an instant, a day had passed.

Immediately after, the scene before their eyes, everything on Earth, was like a movie screen fast-forwarded thousands or tens of thousands of times.

Only Aisen and Hermione, enveloped in a hazy silver light, were independent of the entire world.

The terrible drought ended, lush green grass grew on the cracked land, the forests became lush, and the lakes were expanding...

The ape-men's huge teeth became smaller and smaller, because after having tools, the function of the huge teeth used to tear prey became smaller and smaller! After the fangs were removed, their mouths also retracted.

After their chins became delicate, their mouths gradually became able to make some simple and clear sounds.

Time advanced rapidly, and it was clear that the ape-men had taken a step towards the development of language.

Sunrises and moonsets, the changes in the world unfolded rapidly before Aisen and Hermione's eyes.

An instant is ten thousand years!

Every few hundred thousand years, an ice age would sweep across the land, leaving scars on the Earth again and again. Except for tropical areas like the equator, the creatures in other places were annihilated under the attack of the ice age.

When the ice age retreated, most of the creatures on Earth also perished, including the ape-men.

Of course, what was different was that the descendants of the ape-men did not perish, but were reborn through evolution and transformation.

Chapter 417 Return to Modern Times

"Professor, are we heading to the future?" Looking at the constantly changing scene before her, Hermione was full of shock.

"Didn't I just say that we can look at how humanity rose in a different way? For me, this is just a method!" ProfessorAisen's face unconsciously showed a smile.

"Those apes have changed so much!" Looking at the extinct apes and their surviving descendants, Hermionecouldn't help but murmur.

"Survival of the fittest is indeed true!" Professor Aisennodded and continued to observe the changes on Earth with Hermione.

The descendants of the apes became increasingly proficient in using tools.

Due to the use of sticks and flint, their hands became more dexterous. Looking through the ancient history of the entire Earth, one will find that this situation is unique among all living creatures.

Thus, they could create more sophisticated tools. And more sophisticated tools, in turn, led to the development of their minds and limbs in a more advanced direction.

This is a virtuous cycle, and it is a process of continuous accumulation and acceleration.

During this period, Earth experienced multiple disasters again, many species disappeared, and many species were born. But the descendants of the apes tenaciously survived.

Finally, after evolving to a certain degree, species underwent a qualitative change! Then, humanity was born!

Unlike all the beasts that lived on Earth in the past, humans are good at summarizing the past, gaining sufficient knowledge, and then beginning to explore the future.

Humans began to learn to master nature, control fire, domesticate beasts, touch upon magic... Then, the stone tools used for tens of thousands of years gave way to bronze and iron tools.

Next, hunting was replaced by animal husbandry, tribal chiefs were replaced by villages, and after villages gathered, they became towns. Relying on stone carvings and bone armor, language achieved Immortality.

The human body became increasingly frail, but their methods of using tools became increasingly formidable. Thus, the brilliant light of human civilization bloomed across the entire Earth, its radiance shining brightly, and it would sooner or later break out of Earth!

...

The hazy silver light around them dissipated, and the figures of Professor Aisen and Hermione reappeared in the world!

"How do you feel?" Looking at Hermione's still dazed appearance, Professor Aisen asked softly.

"It was too shocking! It's hard to imagine that humans became the rulers of Earth step by step like this!" Hermione came back to her senses, her expression looking somewhat complex.

"Yes, I told the Little Wizards at Hogwarts before that there are two things in this world worth looking up to for a lifetime: one is the brilliant starry sky above our heads, and the other is the noble moral law in people's hearts," Professor Aisen said gently.

"I remember, Professor, you said this was something a philosopher named Kant said." Hermione immediately recalled what Professor Aisen had said then.

"That's right, I have always agreed with his view. But now, I think I can add one more thing, and that is the survival history of the entire human civilization, which is the most awe-inspiring thing in the world!" Professor Aisen said with emotion.

Hermione nodded and said nothing more, just stood quietly, as if recalling the experiences of the past few days.

After a long time, Hermione composed herself and looked at Professor Aisen: "Professor, let's go back!"

"Aren't you going to look around in this era?" ProfessorAisen turned sideways and looked around, gesturing to Hermione to look around.

"No, I need some time to properly digest the experiences of these past few days!" Hermione looked at the distant human activity and then shook her head.

It was evident from Hermione's expression that although her emotions had calmed down, the experiences of the past few days had deeply affected her.

Thinking of this, Professor Aisen also understood Hermione's meaning.

"Alright, let's go back now!" Professor Aisen grabbed Hermione's arm, and after speaking, with a thought, their figures directly disappeared from this era.

...

August 16, 1996 afternoon!

In a room inside the Leaky Cauldron, the figures of Professor Aisen and Hermione suddenly appeared out of thin air.

"We're back, Professor!" Seeing the surrounding environment change, Hermione couldn't help but smile.

However, before Professor Aisen could say anything, he sensed the backlash of time quickly gathering on both of them.

With a thought, Professor Aisen blurred himself onto Hermione, drawing the backlash of time onto himself. Immediately, the feeling of time passing appeared on him, but it had no effect on him whatsoever.

Previously, Professor Aisen had merged with the Immortality characteristic, especially after it had evolved into a mythical-level Immortality characteristic, and already had tremendous immunity to the backlash of time.

Now, Professor Aisen controls the Five Elements Authority, which itself represents the Five Elements of the entire universe, so he naturally ignored the backlash brought by time more easily.

"What's wrong, Professor?" Seeing that Professor Aisendidn't speak, Hermione immediately pressed on with questions.

"Nothing!" Professor Aisen smiled and shook his head, "By the way, where are you planning to go next?"

"Next, I need to prepare my Six Grade textbooks. There are still two weeks until the new semester, so I need to review in advance!" Hermione leaned her head out the window to look around, and after thinking for a while, she said slowly.

"Six Grade textbooks, that's right, you really should prepare in advance!" Professor Aisen said with a smile, "By the way, have you finished your holiday homework?"

"Of course! I finished it a few days ago!" Hermione had a look of self-satisfaction.

"Let's go, let's go to Flourish and Blotts to take a look!" Professor Aisen stood up and was about to walk outside, but stopped and looked at Hermione, "By the way, are you hungry? Do you want something to eat?"

"Uh, Professor, you forgot, you inscribed the Energy Absorption rune on me. I don't feel hungry anymore!" Hermione said, looking at Professor Aisen with a slightly resentful gaze.

"Alright, I almost forgot!" Professor Aisen gave an awkward smile.

"However, Professor, let's eat some grilled meat! Dinosaur meat is still very delicious—" As Hermionespoke, her eyes narrowed, as if she had thought of something, and she couldn't help but swallow.

Smiling and nodding, Professor Aisen copied a portion of the prepared grilled dinosaur meat from the food storage room of the Double-Leaf Paradise Space and brought it out.

He placed several plates on the table, then divided the grilled dinosaur meat into several pieces and placed them on the plates. Then, he and Hermione sat down beside them and began to enjoy it.

However, seeing Hermione's dazed posture after taking a few bites made Professor Aisen feel very strange: "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

"No, nothing!" Hermione seemed to wake up from a dream and then began to eat heartily, "I just feel that this power called magic is a bit too unscientific!"

"Oh! Why do you suddenly feel this way?" Hearing Hermione's words, Professor Aisen couldn't help but laugh.

How should I put it? This extraordinary power called magic is indeed very unscientific. But there's no way around it, that's just how this world is!

"Although magic cannot create food out of nothing, it can make existing food bigger and more abundant!" Hermionewiped her mouth, "Professor, you said, if there was enough food, could any species have survived from ancient times?"

"Perhaps!" Professor Aisen raised his eyebrows, "The reason why species successfully reproduce is simply a suitable environment and sufficient food. If there is enough food supply, then the survival difficulty of the entire species will be greatly reduced!"

"Actually, I think the impact of the environment might not be that great, I mean, unless it's a very extreme environment, for example, desolate places like the North and South Poles where no one lives, or directly at the site of an asteroid impact," Hermione said thoughtfully.

"What you said also makes some sense. After all, Earth's environment is diverse, and even if they encounter some natural disasters, species will still try their best to find a suitable living environment!" Professor Aisen said in agreement.

"Professor, do you think if dinosaurs had mastered magicthat could increase food, would they still have gone extinct?" Hermione picked up a piece of grilled meat from the plate and put it into her mouth.

"Well—probably not!" Professor Aisen thought for a moment and said slowly, "Mastering magic that can increase food means that they would have no survival pressure."

"Would the disaster caused by the asteroid impact on Earth also not affect the dinosaurs?" Hermione looked at Professor Aisen blankly.

"Perhaps at first, their lives would be slightly affected," Professor Aisen said lightly, "Didn't I say before that the asteroid impact on Earth would cause a significant drop in temperature on the Earth's surface?"

"But, if they had enough food, then they would only need to endure the Earth's abnormal temperature conditions."

"Does Professor mean that with sufficient food, those dinosaurs could survive for hundreds of years until the Earth's environment recovers?" Hermione nodded thoughtfully.

"That's right. As I mentioned before, the main reason for the extinction of dinosaurs was a series of problems caused by the asteroid impact on Earth. For example, the rapid drop in temperature, the death of plants that rely on photosynthesis, the breaking of the food chain, and so on. But if dinosaurs themselves possessed magic and could increase the food they relied on, then the only problem they would face would be the drop in temperature."

"Wouldn't the dinosaurs freeze to death?" Hermionecleared the food scraps from her plate and asked again.

"The asteroid impact on Earth caused a global temperature drop, but the temperature would only decrease by about 10℃ to 20℃ at most. It wouldn't suddenly drop to the extreme low temperatures of the North and South Poles. Therefore, I think the dinosaurs could probably endure it!" Seeing that Hermione had finished eating, Aisen waved his hand and put the plate away.

"So, if they mastered magic that could increase food, dinosaurs would continue to survive and multiply on Earth?" Hermione stood up and stretched her body.

"I think any species that can master magic to increase food would be able to successfully multiply and survive unless they encounter an extremely severe natural disaster!" Aisen shrugged his shoulders.

"Then, is it a very fortunate thing for human civilization that some people among the human race have mastered magic?" Hermione sat down next to Aisen.

"Uh, this question is quite complex!" Aisen said, thinking once again of the actions of the Witches in this world who were forced to legislate to hide themselves due to Muggle persecution.

"Is it because the matters of the Wizarding World are hidden from the Muggles?" Hermione seemed to understand the key point.

"It's alright, times are always changing!" Aisen said nonchalantly. "Right now, the Witches are constantly hiding themselves. But who says the Witches will still need to hide after a few decades or centuries?"

"Then, Professor, when will the Witches no longer need to hide their identities?" Hermione's face was full of curiosity.

"As for the current situation, I think there are two scenarios where the Witches wouldn't need to keep secrets!" Aisen said with a smile.

"Two scenarios?" Hermione was surprised.

"One scenario is when human civilization faces a major survival crisis!" Aisen said seriously.

"Like the dinosaurs that were hit by an asteroid?" Hermione said thoughtfully.

"Perhaps. Once the human race encounters a life-or-death crisis, I think it would be most important for the Witches to reveal themselves to the Muggle World and for both sides to cooperate fully to overcome the difficulties together." Aisen nodded.

"What about the other scenario?" Hermione pressed.

"As for the other scenario, that would be the technological development of the Muggles." Aisenlaughed.

"Technological development?" Hermione seemed to understand something.

"That's right. In this era, magic is largely more convenient and miraculous than science and technology. But one day, when Muggle technology can do what magic can do, do you think the Witches will still need to hide their identities?"

"Professor makes sense!" Hermione's face showed an expression of sudden realization.

"But we don't need to think too much about these things. We can just quietly watch how the Wizarding Worlddevelops in the future!" Aisen said gently.

"That's right!" Hermione's face straightened, and then she laughed happily. "Let's go, Professor! Let's take a stroll around Diagon Alley!"

"Alright, let's stroll around Diagon Alley and then buy some Sixth Grade textbooks at Flourish and Blotts!" Aisen smiled, stood up, and walked outside with Hermione.

After entering Diagon Alley through the small courtyard behind the Leaky Cauldron, the sky had gradually darkened.

However, the entire street was illuminated by various magic lights, so it didn't appear dim.

The cobblestone street wound into the distance. Witches walked into the shops along the street, and Witches walked out of the shops.

It was a busy scene, which made Aisen and Hermionefeel more peaceful.

After walking for a few minutes, Aisen and Hermionewent directly into Flourish and Blotts.

"Professor, I'll go take a look!" After entering the bookstore, Hermione said something to Aisen and walked towards the inside.

Aisen nodded and looked around the bookstore on his own.

The layout inside Flourish and Blotts was unchanging, not much different from the display status Aisen had seen when he entered before.

The bookshelves were piled high with books. Some books were as large as flagstones with exceptionally exquisite covers, while others were only palm-sized with strange runes inscribed on their covers.

Some books were clearly newly printed, but some were obviously second-hand.

Seeing these books filling the shelves, Aisen's heart stirred, and he thought of the Five Elements Authoritythat he had already mastered.

Immediately, with a thought, a wave that no one could perceive gently swept over the entire bookshelf.

After perceiving every book in the entire bookstore, with a turn of his thought, Aisen used the convenience of the Five Elements law to imprint the contents of all the books and store them in the memory palace of the Dream World.

After completing this action, a faint smile involuntarily appeared on Aisen's face.

This action was just an attempt, but Aisen didn't expect it to actually succeed.

How to put it? Before this, for Aisen to move the contents of books into the Dream World, he needed to actively flip through the books himself and scan the content of each page with his eyes.

It was like this before, whether at Hogwarts School or Zhengyi School.

He had also thought about directly replicating all the books in the Library into the Dream World. However, although the Dream World was completely under his control, it could not interfere with reality.

Originally, Aisen thought that after accumulating more faith power in the future, perhaps he could cause some changes in the Dream World to break the boundary between illusion and reality, allowing the Dream Worldto interfere with reality.

That way, he could use the Dream World to scan the Library at Hogwarts and directly move all the content into his memory palace.

But unexpectedly, Aisen directly controlled the Five Elements Authority and became a true "god".

This time, on a whim, Aisen gave it a try.

And then he found that he could indeed use the Five Elements Authority to directly replicate the contents of all the books in Flourish and Blotts into his memory palace.

Thus, it was also an unexpected gain.

"Let's go, Professor!" Hermione walked over, holding a stack of books.

"Finished buying books?" Aisen asked with a smile.

"That's right! Professor, are you buying books?" Hermionelooked at Aisen, whose hands were empty, and asked.

"No need, let's go!" Aisen smiled and shook his head.

Walking out of Flourish and Blotts, Hermione took a moment to put the books into the Double-Leaf Paradise Space.

"Where to next?" Looking at Hermione's suddenly excited expression, Aisen asked with interest.

"Emmm... How about we go take a look at Weasley's Wizard Wheezes? They should still be at the shop, right!" Hermione rolled her eyes and then suggested.

"Go to Fred's and George's place! They graduated this year, didn't they?" Aisen's face showed a smile.

"That's right, they have finished Seven Grade at Hogwarts!" Hermione nodded.

"Alright, going to their place for a visit is fine too!" Aisensaid gently, and then walked towards Weasley's Wizard Wheezes with Hermione.

After a few minutes, the two arrived in front of a shop.

Looking through the shop's window, they could clearly see flashing lights, displayed freely like fireworks, to attract people's attention.

Many Witches, especially Little Wizards, were attracted as they passed by and walked into the shop.

There was nothing they could do. For children, the flashing, screaming, spinning, and other goods displayed in the window were a bit too exciting.

"Hey, Professor Aisen, and Hermione, welcome to Weasley's Wizard Wheezes! Are you looking for any prank products?" Just as they entered the shop, Fred, wearing red robes and a big smile, shouted loudly.

"Business here is quite good!" Looking at the slightly crowded people in the shop, Aisen shook his head helplessly.

Chapter 418: The Room of Requirement!

"It's not bad! After graduating, George and I have more time to focus on new products! Look, people love pranks—" Fred shrugged, looking smug.

"Ah, yes, you've graduated from Hogwarts." ProfessorAisen said with a smile, "So, will you be focusing your energy on running this joke shop from now on?"

"Of course, Professor Aisen, this is the career we've always dreamed of!" George, who had just finished being busy and temporarily stopped, said with an exaggerated tone after hearing Professor Aisen's words.

"What about Arthur and Molly? Aren't they here?" Professor Aisen's gaze swept around the shop, finding only Fred and George inside.

"They'll come later!" Fred said.

From time to time, Little Wizards entered the shop to buy the prank products made by the Weasley Twins. Professor Aisen and Hermione chatted with them for a while before saying goodbye and leaving.

As they were leaving, night had fallen. Walking through Diagon Alley, Professor Aisen could see some shops becoming brightly lit.

A cold wind swept across the night sky, bringing a hint of bleakness.

"Professor, I'm going home first, goodbye!" When they reached the end of Diagon Alley, Hermione smiled and waved goodbye to Professor Aisen.

"Alright, I'm also going back to Hogwarts, goodbye!" Professor Aisen said with a gentle expression.

As his voice fell, he saw Hermione smile, and then her figure flashed and disappeared in front of him.

His eyes fixed, Professor Aisen knew that Hermione had left directly by using the "Apparition Without A Trace" skill from the Chat Group!

Looking back at the gradually deserted street, ProfessorAisen's mind stirred, and his figure flashed, disappearing from the spot.

...

Hogwarts Headmaster's Office!

"Ah, Professor Aisen, you're back!" Dumbledore saw the figure that suddenly appeared before him, but he was already used to it.

"That's right, although there's still some time before the new school year begins, didn't I say before that I wanted to solve the curse on the Professor of Dark Artsposition?" Professor Aisen walked straight to the side and sat down on a chair.

"So, when are you planning to start? Now?" Dumbledoretook off his glasses, put them aside, and asked.

"How about tomorrow?" Professor Aisen thought for a moment and slowly began, "I mean, during the day, everyone should be more fully prepared."

"Tomorrow it is then!" Dumbledore mused, "But, do you think Voldemort will really be drawn out?"

"I'm not sure, but either way, I think we have to solve the curse on the Professor of Dark Arts position, don't we?" Professor Aisen spread his hands.

"You're right!" Dumbledore said calmly.

"Right, there's something I want to ask—" ProfessorAisen said, looking at Dumbledore hesitantly.

"What do you want to ask?" A strange look flashed in Dumbledore's eyes.

"Voldemort's strength has made a leap forward. Do you have any way to deal with that?" Professor Aisen said, rubbing his chin for a moment, then pointed a finger at Dumbledore.

"Yes, I am prepared!" Dumbledore took a deep look at Professor Aisen.

"If I remember correctly, Voldemort's strength before was comparable to yours, Headmaster. So after his strength greatly increased, you—" Professor Aisen didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning was already very clear.

"That's right, everything you said is correct! However, didn't I ask you to take a Double-sided Mirror to PrincipalZou of Zhengyi School before?" Dumbledore didn't avoid the topic.

However, as soon as he mentioned this, Professor Aisenunderstood and immediately showed an expression of sudden realization.

Come to think of it, the matter of the significant increase in dark power and Voldemort's growing strength was revealed to Dumbledore by Zou Zunian.

Since he mentioned the Headmaster of Zhengyi School, it's likely they have already communicated about this matter.

Thus, Professor Aisen didn't need to worry about this anymore.

Hmm—, as for what to do if Voldemort really appeared at some point, Professor Aisen could actually easily deal with him.

For example, a stream of fire could directly burn him to ashes, or a bolt of lightning could destroy him.

Of course, a simpler and cruder method is for the current Professor Aisen to directly control magic and obliterate Voldemort.

"Alright, I have no more questions!" Thoughts turning in his mind, Professor Aisen nodded, stood up, and prepared to leave.

"Right, there's one more thing I need to tell you!" Before Professor Aisen could take a step, Dumbledore quickly spoke again.

"Oh? What else is there?" Professor Aisen paused his movement, then leaned against the railing of the nearby stairs.

"Didn't you mention before that Hogwarts School should set up a new department to handle matters related to exchange students?" Dumbledore said directly.

"Oh—, the school board agreed?" Professor Aisenseemed to have thought of something, and a look of sudden realization flashed across his face.

"Are you really not planning to become the leading teacher?" Dumbledore asked again.

"Right, what about Sirius Black? Headmaster, what do you think about him becoming the leading teacher?" Professor Aisen changed the subject, bringing up Sirius Black.

"Sirius Black?" Dumbledore seemed to have thought of something, falling into contemplation.

"I heard that Sirius Black was sent out by you last year, but now, his mission should be completed, right?" Professor Aisen said with a very certain tone.

After all, many people already knew about Sirius Black's return to Hogwarts.

"Alright, I'll talk to him about this!" Dumbledore came back to his senses and nodded.

Next, after saying a few more simple words, ProfessorAisen left Dumbledore's office.

After leaving the Headmaster's office, Professor Aisendidn't go anywhere else but went directly to the Library.

That's right, Professor Aisen planned to take the opportunity to directly copy all the contents of the Library's collection first.

Previously, when he was at Hogwarts School, he would enter the Library in his leisure time to scan the contents of the books by flipping pages, and then copy them to the Dream World and store them in his memory palace.

Thus, the speed of Professor Aisen's massive book-flipping project wasn't as fast as imagined. Until now, only a small portion of the collection in the Library of Hogwarts School had been copied by Professor Aisen.

Now, Professor Aisen has mastered the Five Elements Authority, so he can naturally interfere with reality directly, just like he did at Flourish and Blotts before, and thus load the entire contents of the Library's books into the memory palace in the Dream World.

Therefore, this action was much simpler for ProfessorAisen.

To put it simply, Professor Aisen entered the Library, and instead of going to the bookshelves to flip through books, he directly turned his thoughts, enveloped the entire Library's bookshelves, and then copied all the book contents to the Dream World, and it was done.

The entire process took less than a minute, and ProfessorAisen left the Library.

...

After leaving the Library, walking slowly down the corridor, Professor Aisen's mood was very calm, without the slightest fluctuation.

Because the new school year hadn't arrived yet, the entire Castle was empty and very quiet.

Especially at night in the Castle, if it weren't for the ghosts occasionally flashing in the corridors, saying that this Castle had fallen into a state of dead silence would not be a problem at all!

Strolling leisurely in the Castle, Professor Aisenexperienced the peaceful Hogwarts in the night.

Passing through the Great Hall, entering the entrance hall, and arriving at the courtyard, Professor Aisen saw a ghost quietly floating in mid-air, seemingly admiring the fluorescence of the mistletoe flying around at night.

"The Grey Lady?" Professor Aisen's heart stirred, and he said softly.

This is the resident ghost of Hogwarts School—Helena Ravenclaw, who is also the daughter of Rowena Ravenclaw, one of the founders of Hogwarts.

Seeing Professor Aisen call her, she seemed to have been startled awake, glanced at Professor Aisen, and then said nothing, floating directly towards the direction of the Castle.

Seeing her demeanor, Professor Aisen didn't feel any awkwardness. After all, her reaction was within his expectations.

"Rowena Ravenclaw!" Professor Aisen thought of this famous founder of Hogwarts again.

Speaking of which, the fame of the four founders of Hogwarts is truly immense in the European Wizarding World, or rather, it's the same worldwide!

How to put it, in Professor Aisen's opinion, if one were to rank all the Witches in history.

What level China is at, he can't say, but apart from there, Professor Aisen thinks the four founders of Hogwartsshould be among the top few.

To some extent, it can even be said that these four were the top four great Witches!

Of course, ranking them this way may not be entirely accurate.

After all, a thousand years have passed, and even though the development of magic in the Wizarding World has been slow, it has ultimately been developing.

For example, Floo Powder, the Cutting Charm, the Memory Charm, and so on, were all Charms and tools invented many years after the four founders of Hogwarts.

Of course, Aisen cannot deny that the four founders of Hogwarts might have been very powerful in the application of ancient magic.

But modern Witches, such as the current Headmaster of Hogwarts, Dumbledore, could probably compete with the four founders in certain areas.

After all, ever since Dumbledore defeated Grindelwalddecades ago and saved the entire Wizarding World, he has been consistently regarded as the greatest Witch of the contemporary era.

This publicly recognized title is actually enough to explain the situation.

Aisen didn't see any problem with this; on the contrary, he also felt that Dumbledore deserved such an honor.

Sometimes, if he thought deeply, Aisen would even feel that centuries or millennia from now, Dumbledore's status among the Headmasters throughout the history of Hogwarts School could be elevated to a level close to that of the four founders.

Returning to the Castle from the courtyard, entering the entrance hall, and passing through the Great Hall, Aisenslowly ascended the stairs to the second floor.

Speaking of the four founders of Hogwarts, the most famous one is clearly Slytherin.

It's not that Slytherin's fame necessarily surpasses the others, but rather that the Chamber of Secrets he left behind is too mysterious and too famous.

Unfortunately, for a thousand years, Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets remained hidden within Hogwarts Castle, but unexpectedly, during Dumbledore's tenure as Headmaster, the secret of the Chamber of Secrets was directly uncovered!

Of course, whether it was Voldemort who uncovered it, or Aisen who uncovered it with the Professors, the rumors of the Chamber of Secrets have finally ended.

From now on, even after another thousand years, there will always be one less secret in Hogwarts Castle!

Hmm? Secret!

"It seems that the Room of Requirement in Hogwarts Castle is a secret!" Aisen murmured, a thoughtful expression appearing on his face.

Undoubtedly, Hogwarts was built by Ravenclaw, Gryffindor, Slytherin, and Hufflepuff. Therefore, the Room of Requirement must also be from their hands.

So, who could have built it?

Built jointly by the four? This possibility should be very small.

After all, the Room of Requirement is a very "private" space.

Slytherin built the Chamber of Secrets, so it's basically possible to rule out him building the Room of Requirement. As for Gryffindor and Hufflepuff, based on their personalities, it doesn't seem like their handiwork either.

Only Ravenclaw has the highest possibility of building such a Room of Requirement.

Just think about it and you'll understand. The Room of Requirement can change accordingly to the needs of the demander. This change is a genuine spatial alteration, not a trick like illusion.

In Aisen's opinion, this is either an advanced application of Transfiguration or the use of spatial magic.

However, regardless of which type of magic is applied, Aisen feels that with Ravenclaw's wisdom, mastering such a method should not be a problem.

Moreover, a very crucial point is that students of Ravenclaw House must answer the question posed by the bronze eagle knocker to enter the common room.

This is a method not used by other Houses, and this tradition of Ravenclaw House has been preserved for a thousand years.

So, thinking carefully, the Room of Requirement is hidden away, and to enter it, people have to find a way to 'locate' it themselves, right?

Clearly, setting riddles at the entrance is exactly Ravenclaw's specialty.

Walking through the corridor, Aisen unknowingly arrived in front of the Room of Requirement.

Behind him, on the large tapestry on the wall, Barnabas the Barmy was attempting to teach a Troll ballet, while the Troll was hitting Barnabas the Barmy with a club.

However, upon seeing Aisen's figure, their eyes glanced over.

Of course, Aisen paid no attention to this. He walked back and forth in front of the tapestry depicting Barnabas being clubbed by the Troll. As he walked, he silently chanted in his heart: "I need a large enough space... I need a large enough space... I need a large enough space..."

After walking back and forth three times, Aisen looked up, only to find that in front of him was still an ordinary stone wall, and no door had appeared out of thin air on the stone wall.

"What's going on?" Aisen felt a bit strange.

The method to enter the Room of Requirement must be correct. Aisen had entered it before! But now—could it be that the phrase 'a large enough space' was too vague?

Aisen was silent for a moment, then started chanting again: "I need a place to hide something... I need a place to hide something... I need a place to hide something..."

He walked back and forth three times and looked up at the stone wall—still no change!

But this is impossible!

Aisen clearly remembered that the first time he entered the Room of Requirement, he used this very phrase.

That's right, he was looking for a place to hide something back then and successfully entered the Room of Requirement!

But now, Aisen couldn't enter it anymore.

It was as if—as if the entry conditions for the Room of Requirement had changed, and it was no longer open to Aisen!

Next, Aisen tried modifying the phrase and tried several times, but still couldn't make a door appear on the unremarkable stone wall.

Could the Room of Requirement have been destroyed? No, that's impossible!

In the original world, the Room of Requirement was burned and destroyed by the uncontrolled Fiendfyre. But now, nothing like that has happened at Hogwarts!

Then, the Room of Requirement—

Aisen closed his eyes slightly and carefully sensed the magic contained within the entire Hogwarts Castle. Immediately after, he sensed the Room of Requirementembedded within the Castle.

The magic of the Room of Requirement is supplied by the entire Castle, and it is indeed still operating.

Worried that his perception might be wrong, Aisenspecifically used the power of the Five Elements Authority to sense it and found that there were indeed magic hubs and magic fluctuations behind this unremarkable stone wall.

This indicates that the Room of Requirement at Hogwarts is fine.

However, if there's no problem, why can't Aisen enter it anymore?

Aisen slowly paced back and forth beside this stone wall. With a thought, the Laplace's Demon System began to operate. Lines of data unfolded before his eyes, and results of analysis and deduction were displayed!

It wasn't until a possibility appeared before Aisen that he stopped walking and slowly nodded.

Aisen looked at this ordinary stone wall, using the power of the Five Elements Authority to detect and sense all the fluctuations and changes of the Room of Requirement.

In just a brief moment, Aisen completely dissected the secret of the entire Room of Requirement.

With a shift in thought, a flickering silver light suddenly appeared in Aisen's Double-Leaf Paradise Space. magicrunes were outlined within the light, and lines of symbols intertwined and arranged, forming a magic orb suspended above the villa.

This magic orb contained the key secret of the entire Room of Requirement.

In other words, if Aisen were to fuse this magic orb into the villa or other buildings, he could create a building exactly like the Room of Requirement.

Hmm—

He could indeed build another house in the Double-Leaf Paradise Space. Well, or rather, just directly build a stone wall. Then fuse the magic orb into it.

As for the magic supply problem, Aisen thought it was simple. As long as he was in the Double-Leaf Paradise Space, not to mention the ocean of magic within Aisen's own body, even the magic gradually spreading throughout the entire space would be enough.

Looking at the stone wall in front of him, then turning to look at the large tapestry, and seeing that the situation had not changed at all, Aisen said nothing and turned to walk towards his office.

Chapter 419: Breaking the Curse

Inside the office, Aisen sat behind his desk, leaning back in his chair, quietly contemplating the results deduced by the Laplace's Demon System earlier.

The result was very simple: once Aisen gained control of the Five Elements Authority and became a god, he would no longer be able to enter the Room of Requirement!

The Laplace's Demon System also provided a very logical analysis as to why this result was deduced. After understanding the details of this analysis, Aisen also understood what was happening.

How to put it? When the Room of Requirement is mentioned, everyone knows it's a room that can change according to the user's needs.

So, the most fundamental question that arises directly is, how does it achieve all of this?

Clearly, as long as the user "thinks" of it, a corresponding door will open, and they can enter the corresponding room.

Thinking carefully, one will realize that the process of the user "thinking" is actually a process of feeding their emotions and thoughts back to the Room of Requirement.

Moreover, the user has to walk back and forth three times and "think" three times to enter it.

This indicates that the user needs to strengthen their emotions and thoughts to be more easily sensed by the Room of Requirement.

To put it more directly, the Room of Requirement is a very skilled Legilimency master. As long as someone "has something in mind," they will be sensed by the Room of Requirement, which will then provide the corresponding room.

However, after Aisen mastered the Five Elements Authority and became a god, he had long been able to achieve the unity of man and nature, and even return to his original simplicity.

Therefore, even if Aisen revealed his "true feelings," in reality, he still unknowingly grasped all his thoughts, preventing them from leaking out, and thus naturally would not be sensed by the Room of Requirement.

Unless Aisen was willing to suppress his own instincts, deliberately open up his mind, or directly separate his thoughts and inject them into the Room of Requirement.

However, after learning of this result, Aisen felt there was no need. Since he had already uncovered the secret of the Room of Requirement, he naturally left.

...

Early the next morning, when Aisen arrived at the Great Hall downstairs, he discovered an unexpected scene.

The four long tables in the Great Hall had been put away, and a table was set up near the Professor's seats. Professor Snape, Professor McGonagall, Professor Flitwick, and others, including Professor Dumbledore, were quietly seated around it.

Seeing Aisen emerge from downstairs, Professor Dumbledore and the others all turned their gaze upon him.

"Is this... a meeting?" Seeing the Professors in this posture, a strange look flashed in Aisen's eyes.

"No, we were waiting for you!" Professor Dumbledore's expression was somewhat serious.

"Oh, about breaking the curse?" Aisen said as he walked to the table and sat down.

"Do we need to make any preparations?" Professor McGonagall seemed to know the entire plan and looked at Aisen with a solemn expression.

"Preparations?" Aisen reached up and rubbed his chin, while the Laplace's Demon System began to simulate.

Scenes flashed before his eyes, and countless possibilities were analyzed and deduced. The results, without exception, all showed that the curse covering the position of Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts was easily broken by him.

Moreover, for the current Aisen, the difficulty of breaking the curse was almost non-existent!

In other words, as long as Aisen now cast the curse-breaking Charm he had developed before, he could completely break and clear the curse left by Voldemort!

However, if it was this simple, wouldn't it be a bit inappropriate? It's not that he was worried about any mistakes, but rather that it didn't quite fit the "persona" he had been building.

Cough cough, well, at this point, talking about a persona for Aisen, who was already invincible in the world, was indeed a bit ridiculous.

But then again, even if Aisen was already incredibly powerful, he didn't need to actively show it, did he?

"Is there something wrong?" Professor Dumbledorelooked at Aisen with a puzzled expression. "I remember you told me last time that you developed a new Charmthat could break this curse—"

"No problem! I was thinking—" Aisen composed himself and shook his head, then slowly said, "Perhaps we should teach this Charm to everyone, and then we can cast it together. That would be more secure!"

"That makes sense. With Voldemort's increasing strength, the power of the curse might be stronger. Everyone casting the spell together is indeed more secure!" Professor Dumbledore nodded.

Seeing that all the Professors were looking at him, Aisenspoke seriously: "Alright, this new Charm I've developed is relatively complex, but I think for all of you Professors, it shouldn't be a problem..."

...The Curse Breaking Charm essentially addresses the issue from the perspective of curses and counter-curses. I believe everyone is familiar with this point. ProfessorWindick's 'Curses and Counter-Curses' introduces the relevant concepts in detail...

...But if we only use this method, it's actually very difficult to resolve the curse on the position of Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts. I imagine Professor Dumbledore has already tried this in the past few decades...

...When I was seeking a solution before, I was still at Zhengyi School. At that time, I happened to be reading books on rune formations, and then I thought of some applications of runes. And I myself have some research on Transfiguration...

Cough cough—, I think Professor Dumbledore and you all know that I have tried combining Transfiguration with other Charms before to develop new spells. This time is the same...

Aisen spoke eloquently in front of Professor Dumbledoreand the others, while the Professors listened quietly as Aisen explained the principles of the Curse Breaking Charm.

As time passed, Aisen saw thoughtful expressions appear on the faces of Professor Dumbledore and the others.

Half an hour later, when Aisen finished his explanation, everyone looked at him with astonishment. They were filled with surprise, clearly amazed by Aisen's ingenious ideas.

To be honest, the complexity of this Curse Breaking Charm actually exceeds that of advanced spells like Avada Kedavra and the Patronus Charm. Similarly, the clever combination of Charms within it is also something that ordinary Witches would not easily think of.

For example, Aisen's Curse Breaking Charm is essentially still based on the content in "Curses and Counter-Curses," but after analysis, calculation, and deduction by the Laplace's Demon System, it has undergone some changes.

Simply put, in the process of creating this new Charm, the Laplace's Demon System incorporated some concepts from detection Charms, the application of runes, and some concepts from Transfiguration.

As a result, this Charm is specifically designed to target the curse covering the position of Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, which is a rather conceptual curse.

As long as Aisen's developed Curse Breaking Charm is cast, the effect of this Charm will take place.

Once the magical effect expressed by this Charmmanifests, the concept of detection Charms involved will detect the curse covering the position of Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts and feed back its nature.

After the feedback, the concept of Transfiguration within this Charm will conceptually transform in a targeted manner, turning itself into curse power of the same nature.

Then, under the "coordination" of runes, it will directly embed itself into the curse on the position of Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts.

At this point, the process is basically complete. However, the final step, which is to completely resolve this curse, is still missing.

After the previous steps are completed, the Curse Breaking Charm is completely integrated into the curse. Next, the nature of this Charm needs to be reversed, turning the curse power into counter-curse power.

Because the curse power, with the help of the Transfiguration concept, has the same nature as the curse covering the position of Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts.

Therefore, when the embedded curse power transforms into counter-curse power, it can completely resolve the entire curse in one fell swoop.

"How is it? Any questions?" Seeing that no one was speaking, Aisen put on an innocent expression.

"A very ingenious idea, Aisen. I am certain that if this Charm were made public, it would undoubtedly receive the Order of Merlin, First Class!" Professor Flitwick said with admiration.

"That's right, Professor Aisen, this Charm is enough to resolve all hexes and curses in the Wizarding World!" Professor Dumbledore also said in agreement.

Looking at Professor Snape, he saw a particularly complex look in his eyes as he watched Aisen. From his expression, it seemed he also agreed with this viewpoint.

Facing the praise from Professor Dumbledore and the others, Aisen accepted it without hesitation.

Afterward, things proceeded very smoothly.

Regarding the practice of the Curse Breaking Charm, conversation, then improvement, finally mastery, and so on.

Actually, this Charm is very complex to talk about, but for the Professors, it is not a very extraordinary or impossible-to-master Charm.

Therefore, after spending a few hours, Professor Dumbledore had successfully learned and mastered it. Immediately after, to Professor Aisen's surprise, it was Professor Snape who was the second to master it.

Then, Professor Flitwick and Professor McGonagallsuccessively learned and mastered this Charm.

Of course, the reason Professor Dumbledore and the others were able to learn this Charm so quickly was actually within Professor Aisen's expectations.

On the one hand, the Professors' own strength is definitely among the top in the Wizarding World.

This means that there is no problem with their level of control over their own magic.

In other words, Witches who can perfectly control their own magic find it easier to learn any new Charm.

Of course, on the other hand, the Professors did not act so rigidly when learning this Charm.

For example, to practice Occlumency, the shortcut is for another person to frequently cast Legilimency on them.

While learning and conversing, the Professors continuously cast curses and then used the Curse Breaking Charm to break them. This way, they were able to raise this Charm from beginner level to mastery in just a few hours.

At noon, after eating, Professor Dumbledore and the others were still familiarizing themselves with this Charm.

Time slowly passed, and they only stopped practicing around four in the afternoon.

...

"Professor Aisen, are you sure you need us to protect the entire Castle?" Standing in the courtyard outside the Castle, Professor McGonagall looked at Professor Aisenwith suspicion on her face, "I've never tried this Charmbefore."

"This, it's safer, isn't it?" Professor Aisen scanned the Professors with his gaze and shrugged.

"Alright, you're right, this is indeed safer!" Professor Dumbledore stepped onto the lawn and walked to the other side.

Seeing Professor Dumbledore's action, Professor Flitwick, Professor Snape, and the others seemed to have a tacit understanding and dispersed directly.

"Super Armor – Solid as a Fortress – Repel the Enemy –"

The Professors chanted the Charm together, and beams of light flew out from their wands, converging in the sky, and then transforming into a barrier that unfolded.

The three Charms combined together transformed into an unbreakable magical protection barrier.

Watching this scene, Professor Aisen smiled silently.

How to put it? Such a classic scene, which should theoretically no longer happen, was recreated under Professor Aisen's mischievousness!

Of course, Professor Aisen's reason was very reasonable – he was worried that when the curse on the Professor of Dark Arts position was broken, Voldemort would notice and launch a surprise attack.

Thus, after Professor Dumbledore and the others felt this was safer, they naturally adopted Professor Aisen's suggestion.

A few minutes later, a transparent barrier enveloped Hogwarts Castle. And Professor Dumbledore and the others also stopped their actions.

"Alright, next is breaking the curse, am I right, ProfessorAisen?" Professor Dumbledore came to Professor Aisenand asked.

"That's right, with this protection barrier, I think it will be smoother when breaking the curse next!" Professor Aisenshrugged, then took out his wand.

After the Professors were ready, at Professor Aisen's command, they all raised their wands and began to cast the Curse Breaking Charm.

Beams of brilliant golden light shot out from the tips of everyone's wands. After converging in the air, they did not collide as expected, but disappeared as if entering another Space-Time.

Regarding this change, Professor Dumbledore and the others did not show any other expressions, still maintaining the casting posture.

The next moment, as if sensing some change, ProfessorAisen's eyes lit up. He subtly looked at the others and found that their expressions had all changed slightly.

Presumably, just like Professor Aisen, they sensed the dense cursing power covering the Professor of Dark Artsposition.

The subsequent development of events was as ProfessorAisen expected. The magical effect of the Curse Breaking Charm cast by everyone together, at the moment it came into contact with the curse, transformed into a curse and merged into it.

Afterward, everyone sensed the nature of the cursing power within. Then, they collectively guided it, transforming it into anti-cursing power.

Suddenly, including Professor Aisen, everyone withdrew their wands.

But the golden light that was constantly converging and then disappearing in the air suddenly collapsed rapidly inward, and then expanded with a loud bang!

Ah—

Faintly hearing a scream, then the golden light in the air suddenly dimmed, and a cloud of ink-black smoke shot out, about to leave quickly.

But it just so happened that with Professor Aisen's earlier suggestion, Hogwarts Castle had been enveloped by the magical protection barrier cast by the Professors.

As a result, the smoke hit the magical protection barrier and was blocked for a while.

Professor Aisen saw clearly that the smoke seemed to have extremely strong corrosiveness and could penetrate the magical protection barrier. But it was precisely this delay that allowed the dimmed golden light to suddenly brighten again and catch up with the smoke that had hit the barrier.

The brilliant golden light and the ink-black smoke collided, like clear water meeting fire, and in just a brief moment, it completely dissolved.

"Is it over?" As Professor Dumbledore spoke, the ink-black smoke had completely disappeared, and similarly, the golden light was gone.

"If there are no surprises, the curse on the Professor of Dark Arts position has disappeared," Professor Aisennodded and said solemnly.

"That's great! For the new school year, can Conquering Dark Magic be changed back to Defense Against the Dark Arts?" Professor McGonagall showed a rare smile on her face.

"This is truly something to celebrate!" Professor Flitwicksaid with a face full of smiles.

"Yes, I do think this is something worth celebrating," Professor Aisen said with a smile. "The Professor of Dark Arts doesn't have to change every year, which means the overall strength of Hogwarts students will increase significantly!"

After resolving the half-century curse cloud over the Professor of Dark Arts position at Hogwarts School, Professor Aisen could see that the Professors were all in very good spirits.

After removing the magical barrier covering Hogwarts Castle, Professor Aisen and Professor Dumbledore left one after another. After the Professors talked to each other for a while, they also dispersed.

...

Headmaster's Office.

Professor Dumbledore sat in the chair behind the desk, took out a stack of parchment, and wrote with a quill. From his handwriting, his mood seemed to have lightened considerably.

Seemingly having decided to coordinate a certain Professor to take on the position of Professor of Dark Arts, Professor Dumbledore wrote furiously for a while, then folded the manuscript and placed it aside, leaning back in his chair lost in thought.

He seemed to be struggling with something, but his expression was unreadable.

Even when Professor Aisen entered the office, Professor Dumbledore still looked like he was thinking.

"Professor Aisen, is there anything else?" Seemingly startled awake, Professor Dumbledore asked calmly when he saw Professor Aisen.

"Yes, there are some things I think it's necessary to tell you!" Professor Aisen pulled up a chair, sat down, and said slowly.

"What is it?" Professor Dumbledore's expression seemed to become serious again.

"The issue of the curse on the Professor of Dark Artsposition—" Professor Aisen said thoughtfully.

"Wasn't it just resolved?" Professor Dumbledore looked at Professor Aisen suspiciously.

"That's right! The curse covering the Professor of Dark Arts position was indeed resolved by us! But—" ProfessorAisen said, glancing at Professor Dumbledore.

"But—" Professor Dumbledore showed a thoughtful expression.

"But we don't know if Voldemort will place another curse on the Professor of Dark Arts position, do we?" ProfessorAisen stated his guess.

"Do you have any suggestions?" Professor Dumbledorefrowned, looked at Professor Aisen, but then his brow smoothed out.

"I think Headmaster, you can take some preemptive measures!" Professor Aisen said in a seemingly nonchalant manner.

Chapter 420: Miraculous Stone Tablet?

"Measures?" Dumbledore nodded, signaling Aisen to continue.

"Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry has a total of fourteen courses!" Aisen slowly began, "Seven are compulsory: Potions, History of Magic, Astronomy, Herbology, Charm class, Defense Against the Dark Arts, and Transfiguration.

Additionally, there are two restricted compulsory courses: Flying and Apparition Charm training.

Besides these, there are five elective courses: Divination, Arithmancy, Care of Magical Creatures, Ancient Runes, and Muggle Studies."

"You mean?" Dumbledore became thoughtful.

"That's right, although we solved the curse on the Professor of Dark Arts position, we didn't directly eliminate Voldemort." Aisen spread his hands.

"You mean, Voldemort will still place a curse on the Professor of Dark Arts position?" Dumbledore frowned slightly.

"Cough, cough, I've heard about Voldemort's past. The reason he cursed the Professor of Dark Arts position is because Headmaster, you once rejected his application to become the Professor of Dark Arts!"

"That's right, I know him. I couldn't possibly entrust such an important position as Professor of Dark Arts to an ambitious man." Dumbledore calmly glanced at Aisen.

"But now, Voldemort probably doesn't plan to become the Professor of Dark Arts at Hogwarts anymore!" Aisenshrugged and continued, "So I suspect Voldemort might place a curse on the Professor positions for all courses at Hogwarts!"

"No, from what I know, he wouldn't do that!" Dumbledorethought for a moment, then shook his head, refuting Aisen's words.

"However, your understanding of Voldemort is from before his dark power greatly increased." Aisen said to himself, "Perhaps, because his dark power increased significantly, and Voldemort made a leap in strength as a result, his personality might have been twisted and changed!"

"That's right, I overlooked that point!" Dumbledoreseemed to think of something, nodded, and continued to ask, "So, the countermeasures you mentioned taking in advance are to prevent Voldemort from cursing the Professor positions for Hogwarts courses again?"

"Yes, I think such measures are very necessary! After all, we can't determine which course, or when, might be cursed by Voldemort again, can we?" Aisen spread his hands.

"So, what do you suggest?" Dumbledore's brow relaxed, and a smile appeared on his face as he looked at Aisen, "Since you brought this up, you must already have some countermeasures in mind!"

"No, I'm just making a suggestion!" Aisen's lips curved slightly, and he quickly said, "I think Headmaster, you could contain a curse-breaking spell within alchemical items and then place them inside Hogwarts Castle!"

"You mean, place these alchemical items containing the curse-breaking spell in the classroom for every course?" Dumbledore said, already beginning to consider the feasibility.

Actually, there's another method, which is to have every Professor carry an alchemical item containing the curse-breaking spell with them.

But, since this is ultimately to prevent potential curses on the Professor positions for various subjects at Hogwarts, I think it's more appropriate to place them in the classrooms for each subject." Aisen said calmly.

"Placing them in the classroom for every course, that's a good countermeasure! However, could the alchemical items be taken by someone?" Dumbledore said in agreement.

"Who would take this thing?" Aisen retorted directly, "Have the Professors emphasize their importance; surely no Little Wizards would do such a foolish thing!"

"No, I think you should understand that at Hogwarts School, there are always some very mischievous Little Wizards, they are full of adventurous spirit…" Dumbledore stopped halfway, and Aisen already understood what he meant.

Cough, cough, like the Little Wizards from Gryffindor.

To say they are full of adventurous spirit is simply praising them. To put it less nicely, what they are full of isn't adventurous spirit, but reckless spirit.

Putting other things aside, perhaps in the next few years, Gryffindor House will produce some pranksters like the Weasley Twins again, and they will definitely be able to dismantle the so-called alchemical items.

What? You say they wouldn't dare? Please, Fred and George even dared to hit Voldemort's face, is there anything they wouldn't dare to do?

You say they were unintentional? Aisen even thinks that even if they knew Professor Quirrell had Voldemort's face on the back of his head, they would still dare to give it a try.

Just like the American blockbuster 'Alien' Aisen watched in his previous life, a group of so-called scientists and experts landed on an alien planet, and just because they briefly tested the air composition and found it non-toxic, they dared to casually take off their astronaut helmets.

Good heavens, they didn't cautiously check if there were ferocious beasts on the alien planet, or use various professional instruments to check for a longer period for hidden parasites or bacteria, and just dared to go down directly.

As a result, they were indeed all wiped out in the end.

This kind of recklessness, oh, or rather, foolishness, makes Aisen suspect that if an alien were to slip an anti-matter bomb under their feet and trick them into thinking it was a firework to detonate, they would dare to just light it.

Of course, the Little Wizards at Hogwarts School, Gryffindor House, their situation might be slightly different. But they are a group of children.

A bunch of unruly kids, what can they not do?

Haven't you seen that at the beginning of each school year at Hogwarts, Headmaster Dumbledore always announces several new prohibitions added by caretaker Filch?

Such as not allowing students to go to the Forbidden Forest privately, not allowing students to wander at night, etc., but which prohibition hasn't been violated by Little Wizards?

In the original work, even Hermione, the top student and good girl, under the lead of Harry and Ron, came to disregard school rules. Cough, cough, from this, one can see how strong the Little Wizards' ability to cause trouble is.

Fortunately, in this world, there is Aisen, this dedicated Professor, upholding the educational philosophy of moral and intellectual development, which prevented the Triofrom growing too crooked—O(∩_∩)O~

Thinking of this, a smile couldn't help but appear on Aisen's face. He then collected his thoughts and said lightly, "So, Headmaster, what do you think about directly carving runes on the classroom ceilings?"

"Good idea!" Dumbledore's eyes lit up, and he immediately understood Aisen's meaning, "Carving them on the ceiling, integrating them into the entire Castle, means that others will no longer be able to interfere with Hogwarts through curses."

"Or, Headmaster, you could do it even more directly, and not carve runes on the ceiling of every classroom. Just carve the runes directly on the walls outside Hogwarts Castle." Aisen said gently.

"The entire Hogwarts Castle, that's quite a workload!" Dumbledore glanced meaningfully at Aisen.

"I know, Hogwarts Castle has been cast with many protective spells, for example, impenetrable defenses, safe guardianship, Muggle-repelling, Anti-Apparition Charm, and so on.

But since that's the case, adding anti-curses like the curse-breaking spell should also be fine, right?" Aisendirectly ignored Dumbledore's gaze and said.

"Alright, it seems my old bones will be busy again for a while!" Dumbledore sighed, but his expression seemed quite relaxed.

"Cough, cough, everyone has mastered the curse-breaking spell. Perhaps Headmaster, you could ask Professor Snape and Professor Flitwick to help!" Aisen, acting like a company leader, directly made arrangements.

"What about you?" Dumbledore's gaze scanned Aisenback and forth.

"Me? I still have some things to do. Well, if there's nothing else, I'll be going now!" Aisen said, and after greeting him, he smiled and quickly left Dumbledore's office.

...

After leaving the Headmaster's office, the sky outside had gradually darkened.

Striding through the Castle corridors, Aisen's thoughts began to wander.

In the time that followed, carving runes on Hogwarts Castle and taking some preventive measures was something Dumbledore was about to do.

Aisen didn't see any problem with this.

Because he felt that Dumbledore would definitely make proper arrangements for such matters.

So, with about ten days left until the start of the new school year, Aisen felt that the things he had planned to do before should be put on the agenda.

Previously, in the Space-Time ten thousand years ago, Aisen had left behind myths and legends, thus accumulating some faith power.

Later, Aisen learned that this power of faith was the key force to activate his golden finger.

However, the power of faith that crossed Space-Time seemed to consume a lot. In Aisen's perception, after accumulating a "full pool" of power of faith, only one drop remained when it crossed Space-Time and descended upon him.

Because of this, he had planned to continuously travel to various Space-Time and spread his god name to speed up the collection of the power of faith.

Not long ago, Aisen and Hermione returned to ancient times for a unique Space-Time journey. Later, he also carved myths and legends about himself on a certain rock wall.

He didn't know if it was because the time was too long, causing the position of the rock wall to change due to crustal movement, leading it to be hidden underground.

Anyway, so far, Aisen has not felt the birth of new power of faith.

Therefore, in the coming period, Aisen plans to be more diligent, traveling to different parallel Space-Time from ten thousand years ago to spread myths and legends about himself.

Well, the reason for not spreading his god name or leaving divine traces in more distant Space-Time is, as Aisen just considered, the fear that the divine traces left behind would all be buried by the baptism of time.

Therefore, after considering for a while, Aisen decided to leave his divine traces in the Space-Time of ten thousand years ago, just like the first time he spread his god name.

Wait—

It's not that he can't leave traces in more distant Space-Time.

For example, Aisen can now directly return to the Cretaceous period and then use magic to create a stone monument several thousand meters high.

After creating the stone monument, Aisen can cast a Charm to fix it on the land and then cast a Charm to reinforce it to ensure it is not affected by future environmental changes.

Of course, in this case, if a certain Space-Time develops into the era of human civilization in the future, the stone monument left by Aisen would be a bit too conspicuous.

Hmm—, it seems that in this way, the divine traces left by Aisen in a certain Space-Time seem to be more easily believed.

Emmmm... maybe Aisen can even directly engrave a mural of the entire Earth's history on the stone monument.

For example, murals recording the primitive oceans and intense geological activity of the Hadean Eon, and murals recording the appearance of primitive life in the Archean Eon.

Also, murals recording the prosperity of algae and bacteria and the appearance of invertebrates in the Proterozoic Eon. And murals of the explosion of life in the Phanerozoic Eon, and so on.

The successive appearance of species, the selection and evolution of life, Aisen can record these scenes that evolve over time on the stone monument.

Aisen can carve the ancient history of the entire Earth on the stone monument, recording it all the way up to ten thousand years ago, when human civilization was about to rise.

In this way, Aisen would solidify the god name of "Creator God".

After human civilization is born in the future, Aisendoesn't believe that the divine traces he left will still be doubted!

Moreover, there is another advantage to doing this, which is that after the stone monument is built, Aisen can directly copy it, and when he travels to different Space-Time, he just needs to leave the stone monument behind.

Wait—, Aisen suddenly thought of a problem, which is whether humans would regard all this as something left by aliens?

That's right, Aisen would not underestimate human wisdom.

What is called a divine trace, in the eyes of some rational scientists, is nothing more than more advanced technology. Even Aisen cannot refute this point.

Thus, it seems not impossible for humans to regard it as something left by aliens.

So, how to solve this problem?

Engrave Aisen's detailed information on the stone monument? After pondering for a while, Aisen felt it was unnecessary.

Because since he was going to carve the ancient history of the entire Earth on the stone monument, he could just carve his figure at the top of the stone monument.

That's right, he can carve his posture of holding the book of aisen on it, and then leave the "∞" symbol.

In this way, anyone who sees his image will surely not doubt that he is a so-called alien.

Thoughts turned in his mind, and a smile couldn't help but appear on Aisen's face.

After returning to the office, he casually stretched his body, then directly flashed away from Hogwarts and arrived at the base in Antarctica.

Traveling through Space-Time back to the past to spread his god name and leave divine traces, if he follows the process Aisen just thought of, then he only needs to place the stone monument in the Space-Time of ten thousand years ago.

However, to engrave the ancient history of the Earth on the stone monument, he needs to start from the Hadean Eon.

Therefore, for the first Space-Time travel, Aisen needs to enter the Hadean Eon, and then stay in each era in turn to record the history of the Earth's changes.

As for the production of the stone monument, this is the easiest thing for Aisen.

Well, this is—

Aisen was calculating his plan, but suddenly his heart moved, and his figure flashed and disappeared from the spot.

...

In the Double-Leaf Paradise Space, on the lawn in front of the villa on the Central Continent, Hermione was sitting quietly on a long bench.

After Aisen's figure appeared, he walked directly towards Hermione.

"Is there something?" After sitting down beside Hermione, Aisen crossed his legs, and then

"Professor, there's something I want to discuss with you!" Hermione looked at Aisen, seeming a little embarrassed.

"Oh, what is it? Tell me!" Aisen said gently.

"It's about the Chat Group!" Hermione said slowly, pondering.

"The Chat Group, what's wrong with the Chat Group?" Aisen looked at Hermione suspiciously, then with a slight thought, the Chat Group interface appeared before his eyes.

"Professor, you also said it's a Chat Group, but can a Chat Group with only two people be called a Chat Group?" Hermione rolled her eyes, looking somewhat cute.

"Cough cough, a Chat Group with two people, it's considered a private Chat Group!" Although Aisen felt Hermione was right, he still forced an explanation.

"Then, Professor, will you create a new Chat Group?" Hermione tilted her head and thought, then leaned closer to Aisen and whispered.

"You think we should invite others to join the new Chat Group?" Aisen immediately understood Hermione's meaning.

After speaking, Aisen looked at Hermione with interest.

"I just thought of it!" Hermione's face flushed slightly, and then she explained directly, "Didn't Professor take me to travel to the past Space-Time before?"

"That's right!"

"Since that's the case, Professor, isn't it possible for you to create a new Chat Group and invite people from various parallel Space-Time to join it?" Hermione's eyes seemed to brighten considerably.

"For us, that's indeed the case!" Aisen said slowly, "Theoretically, every time I go back to the past Space-Time—well, the Space-Time before 1972, it's a brand new parallel world. So—"

"So, we can go back more than a thousand years and invite Rowena Ravenclaw to join the Chat Group!" Hermione said excitedly.

"Uh, not only that, if we repeatedly enter the Space-Time of more than a thousand years ago, we can even invite dozens, hundreds, or even more Rowena Ravenclaws to join the Chat Group!" Aisen said with a slight curl of his lips.

"Hundreds of Rowena Ravenclaws?" Hermione said as if she had thought of something, and her eyes couldn't help but widen.

"Yes, hundreds of the founders of Hogwarts, Rowena Ravenclaw." Aisen shrugged.

"But if they are all invited to the Chat Group, won't they discover their identities? How will Professor explain it to them?" Hermione looked at Aisen with a face full of surprise.

"Or, how about explaining the concept of parallel Space-Time to them?" Aisen spread his hands.

"Can she understand what parallel Space-Time is? Probably not!" Hermione looked at Aisen, with a skeptical expression on her face.

Speaking of which, the concepts of parallel Space-Time and parallel worlds actually originated from quantum physics in the late nineteenth century. But they weren't truly proposed until forty or fifty years later.

As for being known and accepted by the general public, that was also after the rise of the internet era.

From this, it can be seen that the concept of parallel Space-Time is actually a very modern concept.
