Chapter 426: Completing a Closed Loop Operation
Hermione was immersed in the ocean of knowledge, seemingly unable to extricate herself, which made Aisenquite emotional.
Originally, Hermione was a genuine top student.
Now, she wished to double her wisdom all at once, she has probably become a god of learning.
Seeing her muttering various pieces of knowledge under her breath, Aisen couldn't help but nod secretly, estimating that she had reached, or even surpassed, the level of Ravenclaw.
"Feeling good, aren't you? Want to wish for more wisdom?" Aisen looked at Hermione with interest, wanting to see if she would continue to make wishes.
"Ah—Professor!" Hermione seemed to wake from a dream, a blush appearing on her face as she looked at Aisen. Then, as if remembering something, she showed an eager expression: "Professor, I'm going back now. I need to look at the sixth-year textbooks. See you next time, Professor!"
Saying this, Hermione didn't bother to make any other wishes at the wishing orb. She immediately stood up and walked towards the direction of the teleportation array.
Seeing Hermione's demeanor, Aisen was startled for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh.
She's become a god of learning obsessed with studying!
After Hermione left the Double-Leaf Paradise Space, Aisen couldn't help but ponder.
His gaze shifted, and Aisen saw the "lake" of faith power in the central position of the Ice and Snow Continent.
So, should he also make a wish to increase his wisdom, just like Hermione?
After a long time, Aisen shook his head and gave up on this idea.
How should he put it? For Aisen, whether it was increased wisdom or improved intelligence, it didn't really have much effect.
Or rather, with his body integrated with the Laplace's Demon System that had been upgraded several times, plus the Five Elements Authority and Time-Space Authority, he had already begun to move towards the direction of "omniscience and omnipotence."
In other words, whether it was increased wisdom or improved intelligence, Aisen had already encompassed them.
As for why Aisen hadn't manifested these changes in himself, it was actually quite simple: there was no need.
That's right, whether it was increased wisdom or improved intelligence, for Aisen, they were basically used for learning, research, and then improving his own strength.
Previously, Aisen had always thought he would continuously seek on the path of magic exploration, then delve into the essence of magic, and become the most powerful Witch in the world.
But ever since he got the Laplace's Demon System, Aisen's pace of absorbing new knowledge and developing new abilities had never stopped.
What's more, Aisen now controlled the Five Elements Authority and Time-Space Authority.
At this moment, Aisen was even confident that he could directly manipulate the entire world with his own abilities alone.
Given this, continuing to delve into magic and conduct in-depth research was not very wise.
Previously, after the Double-Leaf Paradise Space merged with the Dream World, all the books in the memory palace had been collected within the space, and the Laplace's Demon System was deeply integrated into every atom of Aisen's body.
So, if Aisen wanted to conduct research in any aspect, as long as he issued a command, the Laplace's Demon System could retrieve the corresponding books and knowledge from the Double-Leaf Paradise Space, and then directly analyze and deduce.
This process is how Aisen did it when he developed the Two Worlds Teleportation Spell before.
Clearly, using this method to continue researching magicwas feasible.
Of course, Aisen didn't mean that he would be idle from now on.
Rather, for the study of magic, for Alchemy, Ancient Runes, and various other researches, he could directly put them on the Laplace's Demon System to carry out.
However, since Aisen could already control the Five Elements and Space-Time, and was moving towards becoming a true god who could dominate everything, there was no need to put all his energy into the research and exploration of magic.
In other words, Aisen could really "retire" from now on and start enjoying life.
Retire? Aisen stroked his chin, and then, as if he thought of something, he suddenly relaxed. He stretched his body, leaning his arms back on the back of the long chair, a smile appearing on his face.
"No, there are still some things left to do. If I want to retire, I still have to be busy for a while!" Aisen said, about to leave, but before leaving, he seemed to sense something and looked towards the warehouse with surprise.
With a flash of his figure, Aisen entered the warehouse, came to the shelf in the corner, and observed the changes in the items on the metal tray on the shelf.
The transparent bead had no obvious changes. Chaotic colored threads and golden threads were intertwined within it, continuously flowing.
From the current situation, the chaotic colored threads seemed to be still fading at an extremely slow speed. And the golden threads were slowly increasing.
However, this situation was not what surprised Aisen. What surprised Aisen was that on the five metal trays next to it, the five crystals whose colors had previously dimmed had now become much brighter.
It was as if the energy that had been absorbed had recovered significantly.
Gazing at the white-gold crystal in the metal tray, Aisennoticed that its luster had become much more vibrant. Even if it hadn't recovered to the initial distinct metallic texture, it seemed to be not far off.
Similarly, the crimson crystal, emerald green crystal, azure blue crystal, and earthy yellow crystal next to it all underwent similar changes.
Looking at the changes in these crystals, Aisen showed a thoughtful expression.
If he remembered correctly, these five crystals of different colors played a very important role in allowing him to control the Five Elements Authority.
Recalling the scene from that time now, Aisen suspected that it was the Five Elements laws contained within these crystals that appeared and integrated into the Double-Leaf Paradise Space, allowing him to integrate them into himself.
Without these five crystals, Aisen estimated that it would have taken him a while longer to become a true god controlling authority.
However, at that time, after the Five Elements laws integrated into the Double-Leaf Paradise Space, those five crystals seemed to have exhausted their energy.
Aisen had even guessed that it would take a very long time for these five crystals to recover, but he didn't expect them to have recovered by more than half by now.
It is estimated that it won't be long before they become exactly the same as before.
Hmm—
Once these crystals in the warehouse have completely recovered, Aisen can begin to send them to the past Space-Time, to the hands of his past self.
This way, completing a closed loop on the timeline can be considered an explanation to himself!
Wait—
Aisen suddenly thought of a very interesting thing.
The five crystals he currently had on the shelf were obtained by chance. If his guess was correct, these were all his own doing.
But the problem was, if he sent these five crystals to the past Space-Time and gave them to his past self, then he wouldn't have them in his hand now.
In other words, his past self did not have these five crystals of different colors, and his future self would not have these five crystals of different colors either.
Only during this period of time did he possess these five crystals.
So, the interesting thing happened.
How did these five crystals of different colors first appear?
This seems to be a paradox, right? Or, if Aisen no longer planned to send these five crystals to the past Space-Time and give them to his past self from now on, would it break the closed loop on the timeline?
However, in just an instant, Aisen used his powerful mind to come up with a highly probable answer.
That is, no matter how long these five crystals are kept in Aisen's hands, they will definitely be sent by him to his past self in the past Space-Time at some point in the future.
Perhaps at some point in the future, after the five crystals are fully recovered, they will be sent by him to his past self in the past Space-Time. Perhaps it will be decades, hundreds of years, or even thousands or tens of thousands of years in the future before he sends them to the past Space-Time.
But no matter how distant the future is, they will eventually be sent by him to the past Space-Time on a certain day in the future.
Thus, it avoids the destruction of the closed loop on the timeline.
As for how these five crystals first appeared, that seems difficult to explain.
Because now that Aisen controls the Five Elements Authority, he seems to be able to directly recreate several identical crystals.
In other words, the five crystals that first appeared could have been made by Aisen himself at some point in the future. But the problem is, the crystals made by Aisenhimself don't seem to fit into the entire complete cycle, do they?
This—
Forget it, forget it, why think so much!
Maybe, things that seem strange now will definitely have a reasonable explanation in the future! That's right, that's how it is!
Thinking of this, Aisen couldn't help but laugh.
Looking at the crystals of various colors shining on the metal tray, Aisen raised his eyebrows as if he had thought of something. He directly focused his gaze, and a series of images flashed before his eyes.
Images appeared and then disappeared. Aisen did not reverse the time of the Double-Leaf Paradise Space, but instead directly looked at the changes that had occurred in the warehouse within the Double-Leaf Paradise Spacein the past.
At a certain moment, Aisen saw the image of the Double-Leaf Paradise Space merging with the Dream World in his vision.
At that instant, Aisen saw wisps of scattered faith power floating in the warehouse, which were then absorbed by the five crystals. Subsequently, as if infused with energy, their colors immediately became vibrant.
The images before his eyes dissipated, and Aisen nodded to himself, understanding what had happened.
This matter might sound simple. It's probably that during the period when the Double-Leaf Paradise Space merged with the Dream World, some faith power scattered within the Double-Leaf Paradise Space was absorbed by these crystals.
As a result, their originally dim state was largely restored.
"So, if they absorb some more faith power, they can be completely restored?" Aisen pondered, intending to collect some faith power to try.
However, halfway through the action, Aisen thought of the Five Elements Authority he controlled, and then began to research with great interest: "Since I control the Five Elements, it should theoretically be very simple to restore them directly!"
Aisen stepped forward and carefully observed and probed the crystals.
It was strange. Before, Aisen had cast various detection spells on them several times, but had never received any corresponding feedback.
But now, with just a simple detection spell, Aisen could clearly perceive the condition of these crystals.
However, after receiving the feedback, Aisen was a bit surprised, but upon careful consideration, he felt it seemed reasonable.
Because the five crystals of different colors contained a very rich amount of Five Elements power. That alone was fine, but the most crucial point was that each crystal actually contained a corresponding law.
That's right, within the platinum crystal, the Law of Gold seemed to be nurtured; within the scarlet crystal, the Law of Fire seemed to be nurtured; within the emerald crystal, the Law of Wood was nurtured; within the aquamarine crystal, the Law of Water was nurtured; as for the earthy yellow crystal, the Law of Earth was nurtured.
Saying it like this might sound strange, but after Aisenprobed into the detailed situation within, especially relying on his perception through the Five Elements Authority, he found that this was indeed the result.
Although this was unexpected, upon careful thought, it was actually very reasonable.
Because only in this way could Aisen take a shortcut and directly control the Five Elements Authority.
It seems that originally, the laws within these five crystals should have integrated into the Double-Leaf Paradise Space, and then been integrated into Aisen's body, allowing him to seize the opportunity to control the Five Elements Authority.
As a result, the colors of these five crystals became so dim all at once.
Now, under the nourishment of faith power, the corresponding laws have been nurtured again within the crystals, which is why their colors have largely been restored.
"Then, let's try the effect of the Five Elements Authority!" Aisen extended a hand, and then with a thought, a five-colored light appeared out of thin air on his palm.
The five-colored light continuously intertwined and flowed, then landed on the crystal, as if replenishing its energy.
In just a few seconds, the colors of the five crystals quickly became vibrant.
After the five-colored light in Aisen's hand disappeared, the five crystals had returned to their original appearance.
Upon careful examination, Aisen found that each of the five crystals contained a complete Five Elements law.
"Haha, that's great! Now I can throw them into the Space-Time of the past?" Aisen looked relaxed, and then his smile widened.
...
After leaving the Double-Leaf Paradise Space, Aisenbegan to ponder the plan of placing the five crystals into the Space-Time of the past.
Yes, although he had speculated before that he only needed to have the thought of placing them into the Space-Time of the past at a certain point in the future.
But now that Aisen had the conditions to do all of this, there was no need to deliberately postpone this time.
After taking a deep breath, Aisen began to recall the specific time and circumstances under which he had obtained the five crystals.
Images continuously appeared and then disappeared before his eyes, and time kept tracing back...
On June 7, 1996, Aisen returned from Zhengyi School to Hogwarts School, talked with Hagrid, and then entered the Forbidden Forest together, entering a cave...
Subsequently, Aisen placed the two Unicorn foals into the Double-Leaf Paradise Space.
The moment he left the cave—
Aisen immediately began his action: He took out the earthy yellow crystal from the Double-Leaf Paradise Space, transformed it into a stream of light, and placed it into the Space-Time in the image.
That's right, Aisen could use his means to stand in the present and place objects into the Space-Time of the past. Just as he had previously directly grabbed a bit of the origin of magic in the distant past Space-Time.
When the earthy yellow stream of light appeared in the Space-Time of June 7, 1996, it directly integrated into the stone wall of the cave.
Comparing it with the scene in his memory, Aisen began to manipulate it out of thin air.
Then Aisen saw that the Aisen who had just walked out of the cave on June 7, 1996, in the image, looked back. The place where the earthy yellow stream of light integrated directly rippled in circles.
Rumbling sounds came from within, and then the earthy yellow stream of light gathered from the stone wall, continuously moved around, and finally gathered from the top of the cave entrance.
Finally, an earthy yellow crystal hung down to the ground.
Then Aisen saw that after the Aisen in the image threw a few detection spells, he collected the earthy yellow crystal.
After completing this action, Aisen did not continue to watch, but continued to trace back through the Space-Time images...
June 6, 1996, uh, that's right, the day before the earthy yellow crystal was placed.
The images flickered continuously, and the scene of Harry, Hanna, Padma, and Malfoy and others traveling to Xiangjiang by cruise ship appeared before Aisen's eyes.
In the image, the past Aisen was leaning on the railing, talking with several people!
Aisen watched the actions of the few people and listened to their conversation.
At a certain moment, after Harry and Hanna finished speaking, Aisen directly took out the aquamarine crystal from the Double-Leaf Paradise Space, transformed it into a streak of light, and placed it into the seawater not far from the cruise ship.
Then, the current surged forward, gradually creating a huge wave that rolled towards the cruise ship.
Just like the scene in Aisen's memory, after causing a bit of chaos, the aquamarine crystal fell into the hands of his past self.
The images before his eyes continued to refresh, and Aisen continued to trace back to the past scenes...
On April 2, 1996, Aisen and Harry and others boarded the Floating City of Kunlun Jade Palace to watch a Quidditch match.
In the stadium, after the scene at a certain moment appeared, Aisen directly transformed the emerald crystal into a streak of light and placed it into it.
The emerald stream of light flowed along the vines hanging from the ceiling of the stadium, and finally dripped like a drop of water, transforming back into a crystal and being collected by the past Aisen.
Next, it was the time of March 2, 1996. The scene of the past Aisen meeting Dumbledore at the Hog's Head Barand leaving after a conversation.
Then Aisen directly placed the scarlet crystal he took out in a certain place in the Forbidden Forest, causing a huge rumbling sound!
Finally, the remaining scarlet crystal was picked up by the past Aisen.
For the last crystal, or rather the first crystal Aisen got his hands on, Aisen took out the platinum crystal from the Double-Leaf Paradise Space while continuing to trace back...
January 1, 1996, somewhere in London, England, Aisenand Hermione were strolling on a rainy night!
Seeing such a scene, the corners of Aisen's mouth involuntarily curled up.
When they in the image reached a certain place, Aisendirectly placed the platinum crystal into the sky, and then directly manipulated the power of the Five Elements, transforming it into a meteorite and wrapping it up.
Then the meteorite fell from the sky, was discovered by the past Aisen, who then went forward to check it with Hermione, and finally took the meteorite into his possession.
Chapter 427: Voldemort's Alternative Death!
After completing a series of operations, Aisen breathed a slight sigh of relief.
He had placed the five crystals into the past Space-Time! Moreover, it was clearly placed according to the scenes in Aisen's memory. In this way, Aisen had settled some of the concerns in his heart.
"So next—" Aisen seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes suddenly narrowed, "That's right, there's still Voldemort who needs to be dealt with."
Previously, Aisen had used methods to observe the entire Earth, but had not found any trace of Voldemort.
However, at that time he did not control the Five Elements Authority and Time-Space Authority, so Aisendidn't pay too much attention to not finding him.
Even though he later knew that Voldemort's strength had improved by leaps and bounds, he was still no match for him. Therefore, Aisen was confident that when the other party jumped out, he would be able to deal with him successfully.
Originally, Aisen had a plan, thinking that by breaking the curse covering the Professor of Dark Arts position, he could draw him out, but unexpectedly this plan did not succeed.
Currently, the curse on the Professor of Dark Artsposition at Hogwarts has disappeared, but Voldemort still seems to be nowhere to be seen, hiding in the shadows.
On the other hand, Hogwarts School, following Aisen's suggestion, directly inscribed the runes of the Curse-Breaking Spell on the entire Castle.
This defensive measure is obviously necessary for Hogwarts School.
However, speaking of Voldemort, Aisen now feels that directly finding him and dealing with him seems perfectly appropriate.
Coincidentally, Aisen previously gained control of the Time-Space Authority, and recently has been able to extend his perception to the entire world, and even beyond the entire world, so even if Voldemort fled back to the past Space-Time, Aisen is confident he can find him.
Holy crap—
Voldemort wouldn't really do that, would he!
As if he had thought of something, Aisen's heart trembled, and he immediately began to observe the entire world!
Scene after scene appeared before Aisen's eyes, and then quickly disappeared. Detailed images of every scene across the globe appeared, then were quickly sorted, and then accepted by the Laplace's Demon System on his body...
After a moment, Aisen had observed every corner of the entire Earth, but still found no trace of Voldemort.
Unlike the previous observation method, this time while observing, Aisen used the convenience of the Five Elements Authority and Time-Space Authority to even add the effects of magic such as the Restoring Charm and the Tracing Charm, which can see through Transfiguration.
But unfortunately, Aisen still found no trace of Voldemort.
"Truly nowhere to be seen, could it be that he really went back to the past Space-Time?" Aisen murmured to himself, then as if thinking of something, scene after scene reappeared in his vision.
Just like seeing various scenes of the future last time, Aisen was now going to directly see where Voldemort would jump out and be dealt with in the future.
If he knew Voldemort's hiding place in advance, then Aisen would be confident in finding him and dealing with him ahead of time.
Scene after scene of future events appeared before Aisen's eyes, and then scene after scene kept disappearing.
Time kept moving forward, one year, two years, five years, ten years, twenty years...
What surprised Aisen was that he directly saw through a full hundred years of the future timeline, but did not see any trace of Voldemort on Earth.
What is going on?
Aisen began to ponder carefully.
A moment later, as if he had figured something out, a thoughtful expression appeared on Aisen's face.
Since he couldn't find Voldemort now, and there was no sign of Voldemort in the future, there were two possibilities before Aisen.
One possibility is that Voldemort left Earth and directly entered the vast universe. The other possibility is that the other party directly returned to a certain Space-Time in the past and hid.
Thoughts turning in his mind, Aisen's perspective quickly rose, and he looked at the entire universe using the Time-Space Authority.
From the Solar System, to the Galaxy, and then to more galaxies... Innumerable images were observed by Aisen, and then accepted by the Laplace's Demon System, analyzed, sorted, and eliminated one by one!
After a long while, Aisen withdrew his gaze.
Not there?
Could it be that he is really hidden in the past Space-Time, or is he planning to go back to the past and change history?
Aisen immediately began to fully operate the Laplace's Demon System for analysis and deduction.
Data was incorporated into it for calculation, various situations were analyzed and then rejected one by one. Scene after scene appeared, and then kept disappearing.
Subsequently, the Laplace's Demon System gave the conclusion of its analysis and deduction, proving that Aisen's guess was highly likely to be correct.
Looking at this result, Aisen fell into thought, but then immediately thought of the scene he had observed earlier while standing outside the world.
It seemed that when Dumbledore and Voldemort were fighting fiercely earlier, Dumbledore had told the other party that he had already dealt with the horcruxes.
If that's the case, after Voldemort's strength greatly increased, he indeed had a reason to go back and change history. Unless he gave up the so-called immortality, he would have to save those horcruxes.
After all, the state of his soul probably really couldn't support him making new horcruxes.
No, if history were changed, then with Aisen's strength, he would definitely be able to sense the changes in memory! But now Aisen has no unexpected sensations, which means the entire timeline has not changed at all.
Hmm—
Thinking of this problem, Aisen suddenly thought of the special nature of this world.
As mentioned before, after Aisen gained control of the Time-Space Authority, he was able to exist independently outside the world and then observe the entire world.
At that time, he saw that the entire world originated from a single source, and then from the source, countless branches split off, which were countless parallel Space-Times.
But when the river of time advanced to 1972, countless parallel Space-Times converged together, forming the world where Aisen is located.
Aisen had previously speculated that this change was due to his birth in this world in that year.
Here, Aisen will tentatively assume this speculation is correct.
Then, another question arises.
That is, if other people return to the past Space-Time, that is, the Space-Time before 1972, and then make drastic changes to history, will it affect the Space-Time where Aisen is located?
Aisen had previously conducted experiments returning to the Space-Time before 1972, and the results showed that it did not cause any impact on the current Space-Time.
For example, he had previously left the Miracle Stele in the past Space-Time.
Currently, Aisen has harvested countless The Power of Faith. Logically, this Miracle Stele thing should have survived until now and caused a huge uproar.
But in reality, Aisen observed the entire history and found that the so-called Miracle Stele simply did not exist.
Or rather, when time advanced to 1972, the Miracle Stele simply disappeared!
This was also the reason why Aisen was so reckless when he went back to the past Space-Time before.
Otherwise, would he dare to take Hermione back tens of millions of years to watch the asteroid hit Earth?
In other words, if Voldemort were to return to the Space-Time before 1972 and do things that change history, it seems it would not affect the Space-Time where Aisen is currently located at all.
Unless, Voldemort returns to the Space-Time after 1972, and then does things that change history.
But Aisen does not currently sense any possibility of his memory being tampered with, nor does he sense any changes in history. This means that if Voldemort returned to the past, he is definitely not in the Space-Time after 1972.
Aisen hadn't thought about it carefully at the time, thinking that the division of Space-Time at 1972 was nothing significant. But now, thinking about it carefully, he realizes that this is truly a terrifying change.
Because the ability to directly change the history of countless parallel Space-Times, this ability to disrupt timelines and reverse cause and effect, is simply too terrifying.
Perhaps, a Witch as powerful as Dumbledore from before 1972 might simply disappear after the timeline advances to 1972!
However, when Aisen thought of the entire world's river of time advancing to 1972, and countless parallel Space-Times converging to form a new world, he felt it was only natural.
Thinking of this, Aisen's gaze looked back at the entire history, seeing scene after scene that had occurred in the past.
Since Aisen was very clear about where the horcruxes were stored, when observing the changes in the past Space-Time, Aisen directly focused his gaze on some specific locations.
For example, the Ravenclaw's Diadem stored in the Room of Requirement, and the Slytherin's Locket stored in Sirius Black's family manor, and so on.
However, it is clear that these places did not change much in the past Space-Time after 1972.
Seeing this, Aisen's expression didn't change in the slightest. He continued to focus his gaze on the scenes before him, tracing further back.
The Space-Time before 1972, where countless parallel Space-Times had branched out and manifested, continued to show scenes from various Space-Times.
Scenes from parallel Space-Times were received by the Laplace's Demon System and directly filtered out through analysis.
In just a short moment, countless scenes from parallel Space-Times disappeared. The scenes that continued to flash and appear before Aisen now only numbered in the hundreds.
The parallel Space-Times shown in these scenes were all ones where Aisen had made either significant or minor changes in the past.
For example, in some Space-Times, Aisen's figure flashed at the top of the Egyptian pyramids and left behind an '∞' shaped mark.
For another example, in quite a few Space-Times, the history of the entire world underwent drastic changes due to the miraculous stone tablets left by Aisen.
In some Space-Times, Muggle and Witch even lived together harmoniously, and technology had advanced to a level beyond Aisen's expectation.
Or, for example, in one Space-Time, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry became a famous tourist attraction and check-in spot in the world, and so on.
Scene after scene appeared in Aisen's line of sight, then were filtered out, until all the scenes disappeared before Aisen's eyes, leaving only one scene constantly moving forward.
The changes in this scene, however, surprised Aisen.
Because in this scene, changes that Aisen found quite outrageous appeared.
For example, in 1971, the Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was Voldemort, and as for Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall, Professor Snape, and others, they seemed to be trembling submissively beneath Voldemort.
The overall style of Hogwarts School seemed to have embarked on a Dark path. Among the school's four houses, Slytherin house seemed to have achieved a dominant position.
Was Voldemort hidden in this Space-Time?
This thought popped into Aisen's mind as he continued to trace the scene before him.
He was very curious how Voldemort managed to enter Hogwarts to teach under Dumbledore's strict guard, and even become the Headmaster.
As a result, when the scene traced back to 1945, Aisenwas directly shocked.
Aisen saw that two years after Voldemort graduated, he was directly possessed by a black mist that appeared out of thin air. Then, when his application to become Professor of Dark Arts was rejected by Dumbledore, he directly launched a sneak attack, casting a curse and the Imperius Curse to control Dumbledore.
Seeing this, Aisen seemed to have already understood what had happened.
As expected, it was from this point in time that Voldemort, after becoming Professor of Dark Arts, gradually took control of the entire Hogwarts Castle.
Using Dumbledore's "trust," Voldemort became the Head of Slytherin house in just two years, and subsequently, within ten years, became the Headmaster of Hogwarts School.
In these scenes, Aisen also saw how Voldemort split his soul to create horcruxes, and how he hid the horcruxes in even more concealed places.
In addition, Aisen also saw Voldemort heavily promoting blood purity in Slytherin house, and later even spreading his ideology throughout Hogwarts School, and so on.
After seeing this scene, Aisen immediately clicked his tongue in wonder. Then, he began to think.
How to put it?
Aisen genuinely felt sorry for Voldemort.
If the timeline in this world had been normal, then Voldemort's actions of returning to the past to alter history might have actually succeeded.
But unfortunately, after the time node entered 1972, all the changes Voldemort had made in a certain parallel Space-Time in the past came to an abrupt halt.
Tsk tsk—
Truly unexpected Space-Time changes!
Because if calculated based on this situation, then Aisenwouldn't even need to track Voldemort's whereabouts.
After all, although Voldemort returned to the past Space-Time and caused a lot of trouble, ultimately, after entering 1972, the normal historical progression was directly restored.
In other words, the Voldemort who went back to the past simply disappeared!
This way, Aisen doesn't even need to go back to the past to personally deal with Voldemort.
This is quite outrageous!
Watching the scenes constantly flashing and disappearing before him, Aisen's face was full of strange expressions.
In 1971, Voldemort's influence at Hogwarts had reached its peak, and even the entire Wizarding World was crawling with his minions.
The Ministry of Magic, newspapers, and other institutions were all areas occupied by Voldemort's forces.
Aisen even saw signs that Voldemort intended to declare war on the Muggle World.
But unfortunately, the moment time entered the 1972 node, the style of the entire world directly changed.
Although 1972 was indeed the time when Voldemort and his Death Eaters ran rampant in the Wizarding World, with Dumbledore and the Order of the Phoenix resisting, Hogwarts School ultimately did not fall.
"So, is it still necessary to go back to the past and face off against Voldemort? There's no need, right!" Aisenretracted his gaze and began to quietly think.
How to say it, Aisen seemed a bit conflicted for a moment.
After all, ever since he knew that this world was the famous Harry Potter world, Aisen understood that the big BOSS of this world was Voldemort, hidden in the shadows.
To be honest, at first, Aisen did feel a great sense of urgency.
After all, when he first stepped into the Wizarding World, Aisen was just a very weak rookie.
Even if Aisen had a cheat that could help him quickly improve his strength back then, facing Voldemort, he always felt somewhat uneasy inside.
It wasn't until later, after several years of growth, that Aisen's strength made a leap forward, and he gradually calmed his mindset.
At that time, Aisen was confident that he could deal with Voldemort, this big BOSS, so he wasn't too worried anymore.
Of course, this also had a lot to do with Aisen teaming up with Dumbledore to find and destroy several horcruxes that Voldemort had hidden in advance.
Things became simple later. Aisen returned to the past Space-Time and accumulated a vast amount of magicthrough "sleeping."
Shortly after, he gained control of the Five Elements Authority, and now, he has even gained control of the Time-Space Authority. Therefore, Voldemort is no longer a threat to him.
As for Voldemort's strength making a leap forward? Aisen said that it was nothing at all.
Right now, Aisen was planning to directly track down Voldemort's whereabouts and eliminate him directly. But unexpectedly, after some investigation, he found that Voldemort had actually returned to the past Space-Time.
And it was a parallel Space-Time before 1972 that couldn't affect the main world.
In other words, if Aisen did nothing now, the matter of Voldemort would already be considered over.
But honestly, this result made Aisen feel a bit speechless.
After all, as a cheat user who transmigrated to this world, never having met the mastermind BOSS, isn't that a bit outrageous?
Others who transmigrated went through various means and expended all sorts of effort to fight Voldemort to the death. How is it that for Aisen, Voldemort ended up "committing suicide"?
Okay, okay, Aisen admits that he has always been very "cautious," rarely engaging in direct combat with anyone.
Let alone Voldemort's subordinates, the Death Eaters, Aisen couldn't even properly show off in front of Dark Wizards.
But, that's not Aisen's fault.
In this day and age, even if a transmigrator has a cheat, he can't just wander around recklessly, right?
Others all "cautiously" waited until they were invincible before coming out. Aisen... well, he doesn't know why he became invincible, but that's not the point.
The point is, Aisen never had the necessity or opportunity to make a move!
After all, there's no Cthulhu invasion in this world, no Reincarnation invasion, etc., what could Aisen do?
He couldn't possibly be so bored that, like characters in Wuxia novels who feel invincible and lonely at the top, he decides to cultivate an opponent for himself, could he?
What era is this, and you still have such thoughts, right?
After all, Aisen has always lived a leisurely life and enjoys a peaceful life, which is inherently wonderful, isn't it!
"Alright, the matter of Voldemort ends here," Aisensighed with a smile. "Next, the peaceful life must continue!"
That's right, Aisen no longer needs to constantly worry about Voldemort's matter; anyway, he's already doomed to fall!
Chapter 428: The Evolved Hermione
After solving Voldemort, the big BOSS behind the scenes, or rather, after Voldemort ended himself, Aisen's entire life rhythm seemed to slow down considerably.
Every morning, he would wake up, read the newspaper, chat with the owner Tom and other Witches at the Leaky Cauldron, and then check on the development of the Hogwarts Campus Weekly.
Then, he would taste various delicious foods and snacks from around the world and collect them into the food storage room in the Double-Leaf Paradise Space.
Similarly, in his leisure time, Aisen would go to schools like Eton College and Cambridge University to replicate the scenes of teachers teaching and collect them into the Double-Leaf Paradise Space.
Previously, Aisen thought Hermione would have to wait until after graduation to have time to relearn Muggle World knowledge.
But now, since Hermione has evolved from a top student to a 'study god', and a 'study god' who might continue to evolve at any time, Aisen felt it necessary to record some courses.
Perhaps, after the new school year begins, Hermione will be even more at ease.
By then, she can directly start learning Muggle Worldknowledge.
Oh, right, there are also the courses from Zhengyi School; Aisen can't leave those out either; he needs to replicate them.
After some simple operations, the time had arrived for Hogwarts School to start.
On the afternoon of August 31, 1996, after being busy for a while, Aisen was still in a leisurely state, without any sense of urgency.
In a room on the second floor of the Leaky Cauldron, Aisen simply lit the lamp and started reading.
Cough, cough, although Aisen has gradually become 'all-knowing and all-powerful', at least he has loaded much of the knowledge from the Library and bookstores into his memory palace, he still enjoys the feeling of flipping through physical books.
Considering that he would be teaching sixth year after the new school year, Aisen took the opportunity to read a professional astronomy book he had bought from the Muggle World.
Each time he turned a page, Aisen firmly imprinted the knowledge within it into his mind and completely understood it.
After Aisen reviewed the knowledge in the book, he nodded almost imperceptibly—for sixth-year students, learning is one aspect, and the strategy of doing numerous practice problems is another.
No matter what, he must let those students experience the joy of learning!
However, speaking of Hogwarts' teaching methods, he wondered if the school had summarized the contents of past exam questions and highlighted some key points for the students.
Or rather, since Flourish and Blotts sells past Hogwartstextbooks, why don't they expand and collect past exam questions, then publish a book like 'Five Years of Gaokao, Three Years of Mock Exams'.
Putting everything else aside, targeting such books at students in the fifth year and above should be quite marketable.
Unfortunately, no one in the Wizarding World can see this market!
...
Sitting on the chair by the window in the room for half an hour, Aisen stretched his body and put the book away.
Looking out the window, the sky had gradually darkened. The orange-yellow streetlights suddenly flickered on, illuminating the dark road and making it shine brightly.
After yawning, Aisen leaned back and rested on the wooden bed placed against the wall nearby.
Since the matter of Voldemort was completely resolved, and Aisen's life rhythm naturally slowed down, he seemed to have become much lazier.
Perhaps due to a change in mindset, Aisen felt that nothing really mattered anymore.
Furthermore, since Aisen controlled the Five Elements Authority and the Time-Space Authority, and his strength became increasingly formidable, Aisen had been unconsciously recalling some things from his previous life recently.
Many times in this life, Aisen had either intentionally or unintentionally avoided certain things.
But ever since he visited his seemingly familiar hometown before, it felt as if a crack had opened deep within his heart.
Recently, in his leisure time, he would always involuntarily recall various things from his previous life.
Speaking of these, it's not that Aisen necessarily wants to trace the origin or demand a result or anything. But since his strength has reached this level, this kind of question can indeed pique his interest.
How to put it?
This matter seems like a simple case of transmigration and rebirth, but upon closer examination, it's not that simple.
Because transmigrating from a real world to a novel world, no matter how you look at it, is an extremely absurd thing.
Unless the world Aisen was in during his previous life was itself a novel world.
Then, his previous world had some inexplicable intersection with this world, and as a result, he transmigrated to this world.
Or perhaps, the world he was in during his previous life was a real and undeniable world, and because the Harry Potter novel world was known to too many people, the thoughts of people caused this world to be born.
Finally, Aisen transmigrated for some unknown reason.
Of course, no matter what happened, Aisen believed that with his constantly increasing strength, he would one day be able to figure out the truth of the matter.
It's just—
Thinking of this, Aisen couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle.
Humans are extremely self-interested and are always dissatisfied with what they have obtained. Recalling the scenes that happened in the past, Aisen found that it was indeed true.
After obtaining certain things, they want to obtain more.
When they have nothing and are starving, they want a feast. After getting a delicious feast, they want to eat feasts every meal.
When food and drink are satisfied, they still want more money. With sufficient money, they still want to have enough power and strength.
Even if they obtain the entire world, humans will never be satisfied.
Just like Aisen himself, if he hadn't entered the Wizarding World, his life development path would have been clearly visible.
It would be nothing more than relying on a little 'foresight' to become a magnate in the entertainment industry, and then continuously increasing his wealth through various investments and so on.
The life of an ordinary person is just like this.
But if luck is a little better, like Aisen, after his cheat system awakened and he stepped into the Wizarding World, having the possibility of pursuing magical power, the direction of his expanding desires suddenly changed.
Haven't you seen that since Aisen entered the Wizarding World, he hasn't paid much attention to the money in the Muggle World!
Obviously, the pursuit of power, the pursuit of great power returning to oneself, is the most intoxicating!
However, as mentioned before, people are never satisfied with their private desires.
After embarking on the path of exploring magic, Aisenspent just a few years to reach a state of invincibility in the world. Cough, cough, although he relied on the help of a cheat, since the cheat was made by himself, that is his own ability.
Anyway, by now Aisen controls the Five Elements Authority and the Time-Space Authority, has become a true god, and has also solved Voldemort, the big BOSS. Logically speaking, he should be living a retired life, but he always feels something is missing.
Yes, Aisen's life rhythm has slowed down during this period, and his living state is indeed quite comfortable.
No 996, no overtime, no pressure to buy a house—cough, cough, well, it seems he didn't have that before either! However, although a comfortable life has made Aisenmuch lazier, people should always have pursuits!
So, after thinking about it, Aisen feels that while in a leisurely state of life, he can find some things to do.
For example, exploring the world of his previous life, exploring the truth of his transmigration, and so on.
After all, having something to look forward to will prevent Aisen from remaining 'decadent'!
After figuring this out, Aisen didn't think it was a big deal. However, constantly recalling various things from his previous life during this time might be because his subconscious wanted to do so!
Of course, there's no rush to do this; he can slowly solve it as his strength continues to increase in the future.
Furthermore, although Aisen now controls the Five Elements Authority and the Time-Space Authority and can control the present and past parallel universes of the entire world, he probably cannot probe the world of his previous life.
Therefore, he can only take it slowly!
Perhaps, after Aisen controls more and more authorities in the future, he will have the ability to extend his perception to the more distant void outside the world.
Of course, whether he can directly detect the world of his previous life in the boundless void is still uncertain. But for now, Aisen can only continue to advance his plan in this direction!
Looking at the sky outside the window, Aisen was about to go downstairs to wander around Diagon Alley, but unexpectedly, Hermione entered the Double-Leaf Paradise Space and was calling him.
Seeing this, Aisen flashed into the Double-Leaf Paradise Space and found her on a long bench not far from the villa.
At this moment, Hermione was sitting on the bench, her hands resting on the wooden table, looking with great interest at the large, glowing Wish Orb suspended in the air.
"Professor, you're here!" Seeing Aisen appear, Hermioneseemed to suddenly "wake up," turned her head, and greeted him with a joyful expression.
When Aisen saw Hermione's eyes, his eyebrows raised, and a hint of surprise appeared on his face.
Different from before, Hermione's demeanor had undergone a tremendous change.
Perhaps because her wisdom had increased, after a period of time, although Hermione's eyes were not as sharp as before, her whole person seemed a little more mature.
Hmm, or rather, the aura of a sage on her was stronger.
"You've changed quite a bit!" Aisen said, walking over and sitting beside Hermione, reaching out and vigorously rubbing her thick brown hair.
"Professor!" Hermione pouted, slapped Aisen's mischievous hand, and her whole demeanor changed back!
"You said you wanted to study sixth-year courses earlier, how is your studying going now?" Aisen smiled, withdrew his arm, and tapped it on the table.
"Professor, I've finished reading the sixth-year textbooks!" When talking about studying, Hermione's eyes began to light up.
"All the sixth-year textbooks?" Aisen's face flashed with a hint of surprise.
"That's right!" Hermione said with a face full of smiles, "It's the first time I've discovered that studying can be so easy! Professor, you don't know, after reading the content in the textbooks, I've completely mastered a lot of the knowledge!"
"I guess this is the realm of genius!" Aisen shrugged, "I think Da Vinci, Einstein, Gauss... those famous figures in history were probably in the same state as you when they were studying!"
"This Wishing function is truly amazing!" Hermione's gaze fell on the large orb, and she couldn't help but exclaim, "Professor, have you tried making a wish?"
"That's right, of course I've tried!" Aisen leaned back in his chair, looking as if it were a matter of course, "The ability of the large Wish Orb is indeed outstanding! I was thinking, do you want to try again?"
"Me? Do I still need to wish for increased wisdom?" Hermione seemed to have thought of something and looked at Aisen with a surprised expression.
"Is there a problem?" Aisen spread his hands.
"Professor, won't it be a bit... not good?" Hermionepondered for a while, then a hint of worry appeared on her face.
"Not good?" Aisen didn't understand what Hermionemeant for a moment, "The ability gained by making a wish using the large Wish Orb shouldn't have side effects, right? Or have you felt something during the time you've been studying sixth-year courses?"
"It's not a side effect! It's just—" Hermione paused, seemingly organizing her words.
Aisen nodded, signaling Hermione to continue.
"I'm worried that if my wisdom increases too much, it will become a burden!" Hermione looked at Aisen with burning eyes.
"Burden? I've inscribed various runes on you, such as Protection, Body Strengthening, and Energy Absorption. Your physical strength should be sufficient to support the increase in wisdom, right!" Aisen rubbed his chin.
"Whew—, Professor, that's not what I meant. What I mean is, after my wisdom doubled, my thought process indeed sped up a lot, but it also became easier to diverge!" Hermione said seriously.
"You mean—overthinking?" Aisen seemed to have detected something.
"That's right, when studying the knowledge in the sixth-year textbooks, I would often forget to eat—although I don't need to eat anymore, in my parents' eyes, they always think I'll forget to eat!" Hermione continued to explain.
"In that case, I understand! You mean that after your wisdom increases too much, once you enter a state of study, you will always remain in that state of forgetting to eat and sleep—" Aisen nodded thoughtfully.
"That's right! It's not just when studying, whenever I see something, it happens." Hermione frowned slightly, "For example, I see a television, and then I can't help but start thinking.
I'll think about what components the television is made of, the size, weight, function, and other details of those components will appear in my mind, and then I'll continue to delve deeper into more profound things..."
"This—" Hearing Hermione's explanation, Aisen also frowned, "You can't control yourself?"
"I can control it mostly, but it's very easy to get immersed in that state! Thankfully, Professor, you gave me a bracelet before, it makes my thinking more agile and makes it easier to get out of that state!" Hermione said, holding out her arm, revealing a silver bracelet wrapped around her wrist.
"Such a problem! Let me think about it—" Aisen glanced at Hermione's wrist, then fell into deep thought.
Upon learning about this problem, Aisen immediately understood what had happened.
In his previous life, Aisen often heard a saying, "There is only a fine line between genius and madness," and another saying, "The extreme of genius is madness, and the extreme of madness is genius."
Of course, Aisen wouldn't dwell on how such words should be interpreted for now. But the meaning they convey might be somewhat similar to the state Hermionewas currently exhibiting.
After Hermione's wisdom doubled, based on the state she described, it roughly meant that her brainwaves were too active, causing her to constantly delve deeper into a topic whenever she couldn't help but think about it.
For example, when she was about to drink a glass of water, seeing the water suddenly made her think of its composition, and then her thoughts quickly diverged, leading her to think of the uses of water, and that water molecules are composed of hydrogen and oxygen atoms.
Then her thoughts would continue to diverge, delving deeper into the relative atomic mass of hydrogen atoms, delving deeper into the isotopes of hydrogen atoms, and so on.
If she couldn't escape from this state, she would likely continue to delve deeper indefinitely.
Fortunately, although Hermione was easily immersed in this state, with the bracelet Aisen gave her, she could also actively detach herself from it.
Of course, Hermione being able to escape from this state shows that her current state is still acceptable, but constantly and involuntarily immersing herself in this state of deep thinking is indeed a problem that needs attention.
However, having said that, Aisen could indeed imagine what this state was like, but why hadn't he himself encountered this state?
As soon as this thought arose, several possible outcomes immediately appeared in Aisen's mind.
One possibility is the presence of the golden finger on Aisen, which directly stabilized his mind, preventing him from ever experiencing the state of active and divergent thinking that comes with increased wisdom.
Another possibility is that Aisen had achieved success in his mental cultivation before, directly grasping all changes in his thoughts, preventing him from experiencing Hermione's state.
Of course, in addition to these two possibilities, there is also the possibility that no matter how active his thoughts were, no matter how fast his thinking process was, it was all borne by the Laplace's Demon System integrated into Aisen's body.
In this situation, let alone divergent thinking and constant deep thought, even if his consciousness was split into countless parts, simultaneously handling countless different things, Aisen could stop whenever he wanted.
Therefore, the state of involuntarily delving deep into something would not appear on Aisen.
However, this situation with Hermione didn't seem like a bad thing.
After secretly checking, Aisen didn't find anything wrong with Hermione.
Moreover, this change in Hermione seemed like—evolution!
That's right, like evolution. Once Hermione could freely control all her thoughts and enter or leave that state at any time, it would indicate that Hermione had adapted to the state after her wisdom increased.
Perhaps, at that time, with Aisen's help, Hermione could continue to wish for increased wisdom.
Hmm—, maybe, with Aisen's help in the future, Hermionemight even become a God of Wisdom who controls the Authority of Wisdom!
Thinking of this, Aisen's smile gradually spread across his face as he looked at Hermione.
Chapter 429: Preparation Plan
"Professor, have you thought of a solution?" Seeing Professor Aisen's face full of smiles, Hermione seemed relieved and immediately asked.
"Don't worry, it's not a big problem!" Professor Aisencasually comforted her, "Just give it some time, and you'll be fine once you slowly adapt!"
"That's good!" Hermione breathed a sigh of relief.
Just as she turned her head to look at the Great Wishing Orb, she seemed to think of something else and fell into thought. Before Professor Aisen could say anything, Hermione seemed to be "woken up" and snapped out of her thinking state.
Seeing Hermione in this state, Professor Aisen narrowed his eyes slightly and nodded inwardly.
"Professor, in my current state, I can't wish to increase my intelligence again, right!" Hermione asked.
"That's right, you'll have to wait until you've fully adapted and can enter or leave that state at any time before you can try wishing to increase your intelligence again!" Professor Aisen said calmly.
"Okay, I understand!" Hermione nodded vigorously.
"Oh, and school starts tomorrow. When you go back later, you can try using Meditation to help yourself control that state. I think it might be helpful!" Professor Aisen offered a suggestion.
"Meditation? Okay, I understand, Professor!" Hermione's expression froze for a moment, as if she thought of something, and then she snapped out of her thinking state again.
After a conversation, Hermione left the Double-Leaf Paradise Space.
...
Early the next morning, Professor Aisen woke up early, chatted with Tom, the owner of the Leaky Cauldron, for a few words, and then left the Leaky Cauldron.
Originally, with Professor Aisen's strength, he could apparate to Hogwarts Castle anytime, anywhere. But since he had already slowed down his pace of life, there was no need to rush.
Since he hadn't deliberately slowed down his pace to appreciate the entire world before, Professor Aisendecided to "keep his feet on the ground" and go to Hogwarts with the Little Wizards this time.
He walked to the subway, then took the subway to King's Cross Station.
Along the way, Professor Aisen began to consider some omissions in his previous plan.
Or rather, Professor Aisen wanted to use the Laplace's Demon System to figure out which actions since he entered the Wizarding World might have been done by himself.
Arriving between Platforms Nine and Ten, ProfessorAisen glanced around, saw no one was paying attention, and walked straight into the wall.
The surroundings shifted, and a brand new sky appeared before Professor Aisen's eyes. Parked on the tracks nearby was a deep red steam train.
Obviously, the train quietly parked here was the Hogwarts Express.
It was still early, so Professor Aisen didn't see any Little Wizards. Looking around, Professor Aisen didn't think much and directly boarded the train, walking towards the rear end of the train.
After opening a compartment and sitting by the window, Professor Aisen closed his eyes slightly and continued thinking about the previous matters.
The Laplace's Demon System continuously operated, constantly replaying Professor Aisen's memories from the moment he activated the cheat and entered the Wizarding World, scene after scene flashing in his mind.
The Laplace's Demon System continuously analyzed and deduced, picking out the discordant scenes. Then, under Professor Aisen's instructions, it continuously excluded some of the images.
For example, the memory scenes related to ProfessorAisen transforming into Dumbledore's appearance and "rescuing" Lockhart were excluded by him.
Because these actions were indeed completed by Professor Aisen himself, there was nothing strange about them.
As the Laplace's Demon System continuously calculated, analyzed, and deduced, the memory scenes in ProfessorAisen's mind constantly advanced and then decreased.
In the end, only a few scenes that still seemed somewhat "abrupt" to Professor Aisen remained.
Some memory scenes were retained. When ProfessorAisen looked at them again at this moment, although there seemed to be nothing strange about them, upon careful consideration, he found there were still some inconsistencies.
For example, when Professor Aisen entered Hogwarts School, when he originally intended to apply for the position of Professor of Muggle Studies or Astronomy Professor, he was told that the Astronomy Professor had resigned.
At first glance, there was no problem, but when ProfessorAisen recalled this scene at this moment, he felt there were some issues: Why did Astronomy Professor Sinistra, who was doing well, resign?
Why did Professor Sinistra suddenly reappear and return to Hogwarts when Professor Aisen left Hogwarts with Harry and others to go to Zhengyi School?
Upon careful thought, he realized that all of this seemed to have been arranged. Professor Aisen even suspected that he had arranged it himself. Hmm, arranged at some point in the future!
Besides this scene, some other memory scenes also caused Professor Aisen to have some doubts.
For example, in Hermione's Second Grade, she told Professor Aisen on the train that she had gone to the cinema with her parents during the summer vacation to watch a movie called "the man from earth".
This movie was produced and released by ProfessorAisen's film company, so there was no problem with that. The problem was that Hermione said at the time that she had met a very strange person at the cinema, and Professor Aisen remembered this very clearly.
Hermione said that when she was discussing with her father that it was impossible for someone to live for over 10,000 years in reality, an invisible person said to her, "How can you be sure it's fake?"
Thinking back now, Professor Aisen felt that the person Hermione mentioned in that memory scene was particularly abrupt.
Upon careful consideration, Professor Aisen realized that this might also have been his own doing. Although Professor Aisen wasn't entirely sure, probabilistically speaking, there was a possibility of over 95% that the invisible person was him.
Of course, besides the abruptness in these memory scenes, there were also some other points worth Professor Aisen's careful consideration.
For example, meeting the invisible celebrity "Zhuang Zhou" at Zhengyi School, and so on.
After the memory scenes were filtered out one by one, Professor Aisen already had a plan.
Next, it was simply a matter of confirming, and then, just as he had done before, going back to the past to fill in some "holes" and complete a Space-Time loop operation.
As for how to confirm, Professor Aisen now had some experience and insights.
Cough, cough, or rather, confirming whether something was his own doing or someone else's was a very simple matter for him, who had already mastered the Time-Space Authority.
After all, Professor Aisen could see through the river of time. Besides himself, it was impossible for anyone to do something without him knowing!
In other words, if he couldn't see through the truth behind something, then it was basically certain that he was the one who did it.
Hmm—, there was no need to delay the matter. He would just find some time to resolve it after arriving at Hogwartslater!
...
"Hurry and get on the train. Remember to write home after you get to Hogwarts!"
"Got it, Mom!"
"Is this the Hogwarts Express? It doesn't seem very advanced!"
"Quickly get your luggage ready, this is your owl!"
"Mary, you'll definitely get into Hufflepuff, don't worry!"
The time gradually approached for the Hogwarts Expressto depart. When Professor Aisen shifted his attention slightly outwards, he heard some conversations between parents and Little Wizards.
"Harry, I'm sorry, we won't be in the same class this year!"
"I don't think it's a big deal! If I study for another year, I can grasp more knowledge. Let me tell you, I'm already self-studying the curriculum of Zhengyi School!"
"Oh my god, Hermione, spare us. I found you've become more terrifying than before! Harry, don't you think so!"
"That's right, Hermione, you're like a different person!"
"Why say that about Hermione? She's amazing. I hope Hermione can tutor us after the new term starts!"
Hearing the voices of Harry and the others, ProfessorAisen didn't open his eyes, but the corners of his mouth had already curled up slightly.
Judging from the conversation between the few of them, Harry, Ron, and Ginny had all noticed Hermione's change. Clearly, they were quite surprised by Hermione's transformation.
"Hey, over here, Professor Aisen is here!"
Professor Aisen took the opportunity to open his eyes and saw Harry and the others talking and laughing as they entered this compartment and sat down.
"Professor, you're also taking the Hogwarts Express?" Hermione's eyes lit up when she saw Professor Aisen, and she immediately sat down next to Professor Aisen.
"How are things? Are you feeling any better?" ProfessorAisen nodded towards Harry and Ron, then looked gently at Hermione.
"The method Professor mentioned is quite effective!" Hermione's eyes flashed, and she immediately understood Professor Aisen's meaning, then nodded with a smile.
"What method? What are you talking about, Hermione?" Ginny, sitting beside Harry, asked curiously.
"Nothing, just trying some methods of Meditation!" Hermione said vaguely.
"Meditation?" Harry and Ron exchanged surprised glances, as if they had discovered some secret, and then showed a look of understanding.
Seeing their expressions, Hermione seemed to understand what they had misunderstood, but she opened her mouth. When she turned her head and saw Aisen's smiling expression, she closed her mouth and didn't continue to explain.
"Harry, how have you been doing recently during the holidays?" Aisen asked casually.
Uh, speaking of which, this seemed like a pointless question, because if Aisen wanted to know something, with his ability to control the Time-Space Authority, he could directly investigate everything in detail.
But knowing everything in his heart, life would be too boring for Aisen.
Therefore, Aisen usually didn't need to display his "ability".
"It's okay, nothing happened during the summer vacation. Some time ago, Sirius said that Hogwarts had established a new department, and Dumbledore wanted him to join this department." Harry's expression was calm.
"The new department, is it the International Exchange Student Program Management Office you mentioned before?" Ron asked with interest.
"I heard that the school board approved Hogwarts to establish this department specifically to coordinate and be responsible for the exchange student program!" Ginnysaid, looking gently at Harry.
Uh, okay, because Harry was held back a year, he would be taking classes with Ginny after the start of the school year.
This was probably good news for her!
"Oh right, did you say anyone else applied to be an exchange student at Zhengyi School this year?" Ronlooked up and glanced outside, as if trying to see through the carriage to someone.
"Luna wrote to me and said she had already signed up!" Ginny said, pursing her lips.
"Luna is going to Zhengyi School?" Ron was surprised, "She really is crazy!"
"Don't say that, actually, being an exchange student at Zhengyi School is very good!" Harry shook his head and said seriously.
"But if you go to Zhengyi School as an exchange student, you'll definitely have to repeat a year when you come back." Ron pouted.
"That's not repeating a year, that's just continuing the Hogwarts curriculum!" Hearing their remarks, Hermionecouldn't help but interject.
"Oh right, I heard Percy say that something big happened at the Ministry of Magic some time ago, have you heard about it?" Seeing Hermione's rebuttal, Ron gave an awkward smile and directly changed the subject.
"The Ministry of Magic strengthening its crackdown on Dark Wizards some time ago?" Harry became thoughtful.
"That's right, I heard that some people at the Ministry of Magic even almost declared they would resist a war! But within a few days, the Ministry of Magic announced that all states were lifted—" Ron shrugged his shoulders.
"Did something happen?" The light of wisdom flowed in Hermione's eyes, her gaze sweeping over the two of them.
"This matter caused a big stir, but I don't know what happened!" Ron shook his head directly.
"Oh right, Professor Aisen, I heard that the problem at Hogwarts was solved by you, Professor?" Harry seemed to have thought of something, his words a little unclear as he spoke.
"The curse on the Professor of Dark Arts position, right?" Ron talked about this topic with great interest.
"To be precise, it was me, Headmaster Dumbledore, as well as Professor McGonagall, Professor Snape, and Professor Flitwick, who together solved the curse problem at Hogwarts," Aisen said calmly.
Aisen didn't actually find it strange that such news could spread.
After all, this kind of news was bound to spread sooner or later. Besides, Voldemort was already dead, so why would Aisen care about this news spreading!
"Professor, is it true that Professor Snape is going to be the Professor of Dark Arts?" Harry brought up a topic that made everyone feel rather unpleasant.
Aisen saw that Ron's face immediately changed.
"Professor Snape seemed to have temporarily held the position of Professor of Dark Arts before, right?" Aisensaid casually.
"Then for the Defense Against the Dark Arts Class from now on, we're in for it!" Ron seemed to react, looked at the expressionless Harry, and then rolled his eyes.
"Ron, you're better off, you'll graduate after finishing Sixth Grade and Seven Grade, but Harry still has to stay at Hogwarts for another year—" Aisen put this comparison in front of the two of them.
Harry and Ron immediately looked at each other.
Perhaps because of this topic, Harry and the others' desire to talk suddenly decreased significantly.
...
Time slowly passed, the snack cart on the Hogwarts Express moved through the aisle, and after giving Harryand Ron a lot of snacks, the sky gradually darkened.
Looking at the chattering Little Wizards on the Hogwartstrain, Aisen felt exceptionally calm.
After arriving at Hogsmeade Station, the Little Wizardsgot off the train, and Hagrid's familiar shout rang out again.
The group traveled along the road, entered through the main gate, passed through the entrance hall, and then entered the Great Hall.
As usual, Professor McGonagall was outside receiving the first-year students, while Aisen and the others entered the Great Hall early and sat in their respective seats.
The new semester began, and as usual, it started with the opening feast.
However, before the feast began, Aisen noticed a strange face on the staff table.
Combined with the information he already knew, Aisenroughly understood that the strange face was the new Transfiguration Professor at Hogwarts.
Besides observing the new Transfiguration Professor, Aisen also deliberately observed Professor Snape's expression.
He didn't know if it was because he had finally become the Professor of Dark Arts as he wished, but Professor Snape's expression seemed a bit "happy"?
In addition, Dumbledore and others were sitting upright at the staff table and did not stop the students of the four houses from continuing to be noisy in the Great Hall.
The opening feast was boring, this was a thought Aisenhad after experiencing it a few times before.
However, this time, perhaps because of a change in mindset, Aisen watched with great interest.
Hmm, amidst the half-smiling, half-not expressions of all the Little Wizards, the newly admitted Little Wizardstrembled under Professor McGonagall's direction, being arbitrarily "capped" by the Sorting Hat.
Their expressions were stiff, their faces pale, as if they were going to a battlefield. This popular scene made Aisen's lips curl up involuntarily.
No way—
This damned morbid humor, Hogwarts has been passed down for a thousand years, and they don't even think about making some changes!
Speaking of which, Aisen really couldn't believe that such a tradition could be passed down for a thousand years and not be revealed!
For example, wouldn't some Witches who graduated from Hogwarts secretly tell their children before they entered Hogwarts?
Even if the students from Slytherin, Ravenclaw, and Hufflepuff could keep it a secret, could the Gryffindorstudents, who are reckless—ah, those with adventurous spirit, resist telling?
Amidst the enthusiastic applause of the Little Wizards, the sorting ceremony ended.
The four houses each received some newly admitted Little Wizards.
However, Aisen suddenly became curious, what would happen if the newly admitted Little Wizards were not sorted into any house?
For example, what if in a certain year, Hogwarts's Sorting Hat sorted all the newly admitted Little Wizards into Ravenclaw, or Gryffindor?
Or, what if the Sorting Hat sorted the Little Wizards into Gryffindor, Slytherin, and Ravenclaw, but not Hufflepuff?
So, would such a possibility exist?
Thoughts swirling in his mind, Aisen couldn't help but laugh.
Thinking about the philosophy of the four founders of Hogwarts School regarding accepting students, Aisen felt that this possibility was quite small.
After all, the Sorting Hat was made by the four founders injecting their thoughts into it.
That is to say, when selecting students, the Sorting Hatwould inevitably consider such issues when evaluating a student's qualities.
Thus, sorting suitable students into suitable houses became a matter of course.
After the sorting ceremony ended, as per tradition, Dumbledore spoke first, introducing the school's new Transfiguration Professor. Then he focused on the changes at Hogwarts School.
Especially Conquering Dark Magic, which had previously replaced Defense Against the Dark Arts, was switched back to Defense Against the Dark Arts.
Chapter 430: Filling the Plot Holes, That's How It Is
Aisen didn't pay much attention to the opening ceremony and the myriad of things that happened.
Some things were announced by Dumbledore, nothing more than the establishment of a new International Exchange Student Program Management Department, after which Sirius Black would lead some students to Zhengyi School as the escorting teacher.
Additionally, it was announced that in addition to the weekly dueling class, a monthly "Ring Competition" would be added, among other things.
These matters were all within Aisen's expectations.
The feast lasted for a while, and the Little Wizards ate and drank happily, finally being led away by their respective Prefects under the arrangement of the Professors.
Returning to his office, Aisen cast a Cleaning Charm to make the room spotless, then began to ponder the matters he had considered on the train earlier.
With a turn of his thoughts, Aisen's gaze entered the upper reaches of the river of Space-Time, beginning to explore the various scenes he had traced from his memory before.
Scene after scene flashed before his eyes. Aisen's gaze became fixed, and as a scene appeared before him, Aisenhimself had already vanished from the room.
...
On the street outside the Leaky Cauldron on June 14, 1991, Aisen's figure flickered into existence out of thin air.
Due to his control over the Time-Space Authority, Aisenwas already able to place himself outside the world, thus naturally not being observable by anyone.
Just like when he stepped from 1971 into 1972 and entered a "mirror space," Aisen's state at this time was similar.
At this point in time, Aisen had clearly seen that Professor Sinistra was still within Hogwarts Castle. Next, logically, he only needed to carefully observe how she left Hogwarts.
But in reality, when Aisen was in the Space-Time of 1996, he hadn't seen certain things through remote observation.
It was as if someone had interfered with Aisen's observation results; no matter how he tried to observe what happened during the period from ProfessorSinistra's resignation from Hogwarts School until her return to Hogwarts School, he got no results.
Thus, Aisen was basically certain that this was his own doing.
Moreover, with Aisen's current ability, he could basically ensure that Professor Sinistra was moved away for a few years without causing any negative effects.
His gaze shifted, and Aisen penetrated countless buildings, directly seeing Professor Sinistra, who was now idle, within Hogwarts Castle.
At this moment, the final exams at Hogwarts had ended, and after the Little Wizards had one more end-of-term feast, they would take the Hogwarts Express home.
His gaze shifted again, and Aisen saw the brothers Fredand George chasing each other in the courtyard outside the Castle.
Similarly, Aisen also saw some familiar figures.
For example, Quirinus Quirrell! Hmm, his head was wrapped in a turban, and he looked like he had already been possessed by Voldemort.
Another example was Percy Weasley. Hmm, he was currently a fourth-year student, and after the new term began, he would become a fifth-year student and successfully serve as the Gryffindor Prefect.
The sounds fed back from his vision echoed in Aisen's ears, waves of joyful laughter rippling.
So, how to make Professor Sinistra "disappear"? Aisenwithdrew his gaze and began to think quietly.
Looking at the endless stream of pedestrians and vehicles on the road, a smile gradually appeared on Aisen's face.
"Forget it, there's no need to rack my brains. For a true god who controls the Five Elements Authority and the Time-Space Authority, making a person disappear for a few years is still very easy! However, some preparations are needed beforehand!"
Aisen's mind settled, and he flashed into the Double-Leaf Paradise Space.
In the Double-Leaf Paradise Space, there was a flat lawn in front of the villa on the Central Continent.
Not far away, a long bench and a wooden table were placed, with a large Wishing Orb suspended above them. Further away, the lawn undulated and extended.
Aisen's figure appeared, and as his thoughts turned, radiant light points flashed, then quickly gathered together to form stones. In just a brief moment, a stone platform twenty meters long, ten meters wide, and four meters high appeared not far from the large Wishing Orb.
Immediately after, a magic orb woven with runes that was floating above the villa instantly came before this huge stone platform, and then, like a drop of water entering the sea, it directly merged into it.
That was the magic orb that Aisen had disassembled and reassembled after investigating the Room of Requirement, and it contained all the secrets of the Room of Requirement.
At this moment, using it to merge into this giant stone platform could be considered complementary.
After Aisen finished all his actions, the stone platform before him returned to its ordinary state.
Stepping forward, he came before the stone platform, looked at the smooth, dark stone wall, and walked back and forth: "I need a basketball court... I need a basketball court... I need a basketball court..."
Just like the method to enter the Room of Requirement, when Aisen stopped walking and looked at the smooth stone wall again, he found that a large bronze door had opened on the originally smooth, dark stone wall.
Pushing open the large door and entering the room, Aisenentered a spacious area.
The entire space wasn't large, but its layout was exactly that of a basketball court.
Leaving the room, Aisen looked back and saw that the bronze door originally embedded in the stone wall had disappeared.
Since preparations were needed, he might as well advance the schedule for building the Room of Requirement. Next, Aisen planned to adopt a simple and crude method to handle the matter of Professor Sinistra.
That's right, Aisen planned to directly "kidnap" ProfessorSinistra, hide her within the Room of Requirement, then fabricate four years of memories for her, and then return directly to 1995 and release her.
However, what would be a reasonable reason for an Astronomy Professor to leave Hogwarts School for four years?
Uh, go to Muggle society to study Astronomyknowledge? This reason seems plausible, but in reality, it's still a bit far-fetched.
Then, spend four years traveling the world? That seems even more absurd.
Forget it, fabricating memories is a bit too much trouble. I might as well not fabricate any memories at all. I'll just cast a Confundus Charm and make her forget everything that happened during this time.
Thinking of this, Aisen flashed out of the Double-Leaf Paradise Space.
In the time that followed, Aisen immediately began to act.
He first went to the Astronomy Professor's office in Hogwarts Castle and used magic to control ProfessorSinistra, making her "voluntarily" apply to Dumbledore for resignation!
The very next day, after Professor Sinistra left Hogwarts, Aisen took the opportunity to bring her to the Double-Leaf Paradise Space and hide her within the Room of Requirement.
After completing these actions, Aisen began to cast spells on Professor Sinistra.
The purpose of the spell, naturally, was to make the other party "ignore" the experience of these few years of resignation.
Or rather, even if someone were to ask, Aisen had to ensure that Professor Sinistra would brush it off with an indescribable "private matter."
This way, there would be nothing to worry about.
After completing these actions, Aisen checked everything carefully back and forth, and after being confident that others could not see through his methods, he directly returned to the time point of august 20, 1995.
Yes, at this time, in about ten days, it would be the time for Hogwarts School to assign Harry, Hanna, and others to Zhengyi School as exchange students.
At that time, Aisen also went to Zhengyi School as the escorting teacher.
Then, it would be logical for Professor Sinistra to return at this time point and reapply to become the Astronomy Professor at Hogwarts.
After the Space-Time transition, Aisen first entered the Double-Leaf Paradise Space, brought Professor Sinistra out, then cast a spell on her, giving her a psychological suggestion to return to Hogwarts, and then left directly.
Cough, cough, a historical plot hole was finally filled by Aisen.
Next, Aisen did not return directly but instead went directly to august 20, 1992.
Yes, in Aisen's previous observations, he found that Hermione would go to the cinema with her parents on that afternoon.
As for what happened in the cinema, perhaps because he himself had intervened, he could not see through the truth behind it.
However, remembering what Hermione had said to him on the train at that time, Aisen now guessed what had happened.
Therefore, after arriving at the time point of august 20, 1992, Aisen directly waited at the entrance of a certain cinema in the Stone Quarter of Manchester City, quietly waiting for Hermione's family to arrive.
What happened next was very smooth.
Aisen already knew the time and place to wait, so it wasn't long before he saw Hermione and her parents buy movie tickets and enter the cinema to wait for the movie to start.
After Hermione's family went in, Aisen followed suit, walking into the cinema with a swagger.
the man from earth was a movie that Aisen had 'plagiarized'; as a film produced and released by his own company, Aisen remembered it made quite a bit of money back then.
Watching this movie now, perhaps due to a change in mindset, Aisen felt quite emotional for a moment.
How to put it?
The male protagonist of this movie is a person who has lived for 14,000 years. As for why he could live for 14,000 years, Aisen didn't know; anyway, that's how the movie's plot was plagiarized.
The male protagonist had witnessed human history, and his identity had constantly changed. Even Jesus was just one of his past identities.
Back then, Aisen didn't think much of it, but watching it again now, he found the plot very interesting.
At the very least, Aisen was now capable of doing what the movie's male protagonist did.
For instance, Aisen could return to over ten thousand years ago, witness human history, appear as various famous figures, and play important roles in human history, and so on.
He believed that for Aisen, who had already mastered the Time-Space Authority, doing these things would not be difficult.
Recalling what Hermione had said to him on the train, looking at the scene of watching the movie in the cinema at this moment, and feeling the emotions deep within.
At this moment, Aisen finally understood why he had said those words back then.
When the movie ended, Hermione and her father started discussing whether someone who could live over 14,000 years existed in reality.
Aisen seized the opportunity to change his voice, left a line saying, "How can you be sure it's fake?", and then left directly.
Yay, the plot-hole filler master has filled another hole!
After leaving, Aisen didn't stay in this Space-Time but went directly to december 13, 1995.
With a flash of his figure, Aisen arrived directly at Qingshan Market near Zhengyi School.
Qingshan Market was full of people, bustling with life, quite different from Diagon Alley in the England Wizarding World.
After waiting for a while, Aisen, existing outside the world, saw his past self wandering on this street.
From the alchemy shop of the Old Lord's Boy , to the stall selling Year Beast cubs, from the Qingshan Marketbranch of Flower Fruit Mountain Wand Shop, to the Shu Mountain Artifact Refining Company, and so on.
After his past self entered the Jixia Bookstore on the other side of the alley, Aisen's mind stirred. He directly split off a thought, transformed it into a figure, and hid it in the gap between two shops on the street.
This figure had white hair and beard and an immortal-like demeanor, exactly like the old man Aisen remembered who called himself Zhuang Zhou.
He never expected that the Zhuang Zhou he thought he had 'glitched' from the Warring States period to the 1970s was, as Aisen now knew, just a thought manifestation of himself.
However, why would Aisen do this?
Images from his memories surfaced in his mind, and a look of understanding gradually appeared on Aisen's face.
Yes, the purpose was probably to remind him to pay attention to the 'heavenly materials and earthly treasures' hidden on him.
Hmm, that's right. That thing involved the cheat, so it was indeed correct to pay more attention to it!
As the sun set and the evening glow faded from the sky, his past self walked from a distance. Just as he was about to leave Qingshan Market, 'Zhuang Zhou', hidden in the gap between the two shops, began his performance under Aisen's instruction.
"Hey, young man, young man, come here!"
Exactly the same as the scene in his memory, Aisen made no changes to it.
To be honest, Aisen could change history at this moment, but he didn't know what would happen after changing history, or whether it would change his current memories.
But no matter what, Aisen didn't want to test the waters.
"Old gentleman, is there something you need?"
"Haha, young man, I knew you could see me!"
Their conversation continued. Existing outside the world, Aisen watched the performance of 'the two of them'.
Based on the scenes in his memory, Aisen directed Zhuang Zhou, who was a manifestation of his thought, slowly guiding his past self.
Then he deliberately revealed a flaw, saying that only those carrying heavenly materials and earthly treasures could see him.
Finally, after a pleasant conversation, Zhuang Zhou, the manifestation of Aisen's thought, played a trick of 'Zhuang Zhou dreaming of a butterfly'. He transformed into a purple-red butterfly, flew high into the sky, gradually faded from view, and finally disappeared!
Comparing it with the scene in his memory, Aisen found that there was no difference from beginning to end, and he slightly breathed a sigh of relief.
Watching his past self still standing there, silently thinking, Aisen shrugged and flashed away from this time node.
Evening of september 1, 1996, Hogwarts Astronomy Professor's office.
Aisen's figure reappeared, sitting behind the desk.
It seemed that the plot holes involving him in history had basically been filled. However, there was still one thing that hadn't been dealt with. That was, the cheat hadn't been delivered to Zou Zunian yet.
Cough cough, speaking of the cheat.
Aisen always felt the nesting doll situation was getting a bit intense.
Emmm... The first time his cheat was activated, he was still working at Emerald Forest Film Company. Later, he used the emotion manipulation characteristic combined with the 'marble' Zou Zunian gave him to refine a perfect Horcrux.
After the Horcrux was refined, Aisen discovered that what he had refined was actually the cheat. Then he returned to the past and installed the cheat on himself.
Later, the first time Aisen returned to the past ten thousand years ago to 'sleep', he accidentally entered the 'Mirror Space'. Then he attracted a drop of faith power, which activated his cheat.
However, Aisen found that the 'marble' Zou Zunian gave him was very crucial in the process of refining the cheat.
As a result, after going in circles, Aisen realized that the 'marble' Zou Zunian gave him was very likely the black bead he picked up when he descended from the 'Mirror Space' into the real world.
Later, Aisen picked up five crystals of different colors separately and inexplicably gained control of the Five Elements Authority. Subsequently, the black bead and the five crystals became entangled and gradually changed.
Of course, in addition to these changes, Aisen also personally retrieved a bit of the origin of magic's inspiration from a very distant Space-Time and integrated it into it.
Even at this moment, Aisen's consciousness projected into the warehouse of Double-Leaf Paradise Space, he could still see the changes in that bead.
Except for the chaotic colored threads in the bead constantly fading, other aspects were already quite similar to the 'marble' Aisen received from Zou Zunianback then.
However, it seemed that the 'marble' would continue to change for a while longer.
After the change stopped, Aisen would just need to add the program data he created using the Laplace's Demon System back then.
After that, Aisen could return to the past Space-Time just like before and secretly stuff this 'marble' into Zou Zunian's hands.
At that time, Aisen was confident he could cast a spell to make Zou Zunian 'obedient' and send the 'marble' back into his own hands.
Wait a minute—
Since this 'marble' was gradually changing, could its change be accelerated through the Five Elements Authority or the Time-Space Authority?
Or rather, could it be directly prompted to change quickly through faith power? Wouldn't that mean he wouldn't have to wait for a long time to completely fill this plot hole?
Aisen seemed to have thought of something, and with a flash of his figure, he directly entered Double-Leaf Paradise Space.
In a corner of the warehouse, within the bead on the metal tray, the chaotic colored threads and golden threads were still intertwined.
If one looked closely and stretched the timeline, they would see that as the threads constantly flowed, the golden threads were getting longer, while the chaotic colored threads were gradually getting shorter.
With a thought, Aisen reached out, and a drop of faith power was summoned out of thin air by Aisen.
Immediately after, that drop of faith power moved as he willed and disappeared into thin air. What followed was the generation of an invisible force, pouring into the bead placed on the metal tray.
