Chapter 489: Borrowing the Tiger's Might

"Alright, Senior, there's no need to panic like this. This is just a phantom of the past; it's not a big problem."

Watching the disgraceful state of the masked Senior, the Home Witch laughed quite happily, then offered a reminder.

Upon hearing this, Senior Fan Ni, who had been a bit intimidated by the teacher's majesty, calmed down. She then carefully scrutinized the Evil Seed little loli opposite her and, surprisingly, quickly noticed something.

"Emmm... although she looks very similar and her aura is very similar, if you look closely, she seems a bit different from Teacher Demon King. Wait, let me take a closer look..."

The clown mask on the Home Witch's face blinked, and then the hollow eye area suddenly lit up.

"Hiss... Good heavens, Qian Bao, I've discovered something incredible. This little one is both Teacher Demon King and not Teacher Demon King..."

"Can you speak like a normal person? Are you just going to keep me hanging?"

The Home Witch, who had also been a bit panicked, couldn't help but urge her.

"Don't be impatient. If I'm not mistaken, this should be one of Teacher Demon King's past lives."

Senior Fan Ni stopped playing coy and stated her conclusion.

"Uh, a past life? That's reasonable, but in this day and age, there isn't even a Netherworld System, so where does the concept of reincarnation come from?"

Dorothy was stunned. She nodded, acknowledging the possibility, but remained somewhat puzzled.

"Actually, it does exist, but it's just a bit more primitive. In this era, when a life dies, the soul dissipates. Its soul fragments return to the Sea of Souls, where they fuse with other soul fragments to form new souls again."

"And during this process, some special souls, even if they die, do not completely dissipate. They can return to the Sea of Souls in a relatively complete form and then be born again."

"Of course, such primitive reincarnation is certainly not as precise and perfect as the Netherworld System, and the loss is immense. Although most of the soul can be preserved with each reincarnation, it will eventually merge with new soul fragments every time. So, whether this can be considered reincarnation, and whether it can still be considered the same soul after reincarnation, is something the academic world has been debating endlessly."

"The phantom of the past before us should be the reincarnation of Teacher Demon King's main soul in this era. It can barely be considered her past life."

Senior Fan Ni explained it this way.

"So that's how it is."

The Home Witch also nodded, feeling that her useful knowledge had increased once again.

After all, she was still just a student. Although she did have some knowledge, she was still far from being omniscient. Plus, her strength was limited, so there was some high-end knowledge she couldn't access.

She had never seen this theory of primitive reincarnation before; after all, it was too ancient. After the birth of the Netherworld System, this outdated, old knowledge had been kicked out of the Witch textbooks. Only Senior Fan Ni, this historian, would specifically flip through these strange and ancient pieces of knowledge.

"But it's no wonder this little one could make you eat humble pie, Qian Bao. If it were this little one in real history, she would at most be a mortal. But after becoming as powerful as Teacher Demon King, their power traces back through history. Even such a past life would be affected and receive a certain degree of enhancement."

"This little one's ability is quite tricky. It should be a weakened version of Teacher Demon King's partial authority. It's indeed quite troublesome."

"But it's not a big problem. Anyway, Teacher Demon King hasn't yet achieved the Realm of Omniscience and Omnipotence. Her influence on the past is limited to this. Otherwise, it would be troublesome."

"Those who are omniscient and omnipotent possess the attribute of 'All Things Returning to One.' By then, there will be no distinction between past and future, past life and present life. At any point in time, in any parallel world line, she will be Teacher Demon King herself."

"She is both the One and the Ten Thousand; the One is the All, and the All is the One."

Senior Fan Ni added this. When she mentioned the Realm of Omniscience and Omnipotence, her tone was filled with emotion, longing, and envy.

"However, Teacher Demon King is only half a step away from that realm. She can definitely see and perceive everything about this past-life phantom. Qian Bao, I think we should stay away from her. Let me tell you, Teacher Demon King is extremely petty. Anyone who offends her will be held a grudge against 100%, even if it's just offending a phantom of her past-life body. Moreover, the teacher's avatar is currently in the academy outside, which makes it even easier for her to perceive us. We can't afford to provoke her, so we'd better hide."

The masked Senior finally extended a small tentacle to tug at Dorothy's hair and made this suggestion.

Because she discovered that the person in front of her was not Teacher Demon King herself, this future Fourth Ranker felt she could do it again. Her speech became bold, and she even dared to continue bad-mouthing her own teacher.

Only...

"Qian Bao, why are your legs shaking?"

Senior Fan Ni looked at her Master, who had suddenly collapsed onto the soft seat of the floating car, her legs trembling uncontrollably, and asked with some confusion.

Dorothy: "..."

Damn it, Senior, your reminder came too late. I've already signed the master-servant contract.

The Home Witch was on the verge of tears.

Although the power of the Realm of Omniscience and Omnipotence revealed by Senior Fan Ni just now interested her greatly—this was high-end knowledge that a weakling in reality like her couldn't touch—this free ride was a huge profit.

This also reminded Dorothy of her own cheat, which she didn't know if it counted as a cheat.

Her strange inspiration.

This inspiration was the foundation of her fame as the Witch of the Forest. It was precisely because of this inspiration that she could create new magic spells as easily as eating and drinking.

And now, thinking about it carefully, it really does seem like the future her is secretly handing answers to the present her, or rather, the present her is secretly borrowing the future her's brain to help with calculations.

Could it be that the future her, Dorothy, can also reach the realm of the Three Kings, so her power feeds back into history, allowing her to obtain a portion of the power that originally belonged to the future her, just like this Evil Seed little loli obtained a portion of Demon King's authority?

Ah, this, as expected of the future me, truly awesome.

But, does the me who offended Demon King really have a future?

Future me, hurry up and use your supreme power to save me!

The Home Witch screamed in her heart, wanting to cry but having no tears.

Then, under Senior Fan Ni's surprised gaze, she silently took out the parchment contract signed with Demon King's name and placed it on the table.

"As for why my legs are shaking, you'd be shaking too if you were in my shoes, okay?"

She replied irritably.

Senior Fan Ni: "???"

The masked Senior was stunned at first, then her gaze swept over the content of the parchment contract. Instantly, the eye sockets on her mask widened, and she was speechless for a moment.

After a long while, she spoke again.

"Good heavens, as expected of you, Qian Bao. You are truly awesome. In my life, I haven't admired anyone, but I admire you. I have to admit, you are indeed the brave one now."

This time, the troll didn't even dare to watch the show; instead, she admiringly gave a thumbs-up with her tentacle.

"For the sake of our acquaintance, Qian Bao, go on your way in peace. I will take care of your family and friends."

The masked Senior was already preparing to bid a tearful farewell.

Fine, a dog can't change its habit of eating excrement; the troll ultimately couldn't change her nature of gloating over others' misfortunes.

"Get lost."

Dorothy also gave this heartless Senior the middle finger, then took a few deep breaths to calm her mood.

Things had already happened; no amount of regret or anxiety would help. So, there was nothing to be afraid of anymore. Even if I die today, I must die with some dignity.

Isn't it just taking Demon King as a servant? What a big deal. Since I've already taken her, I'll just use her well.

So...

"Good sister, save me."

The Home Witch decided decisively. She believed that her invincible childhood sweetheart would hear her cry for help.

Hmm, only the Three Kings can deal with the Three Kings. This time, I have to use magic to defeat magic.

Sure enough, the moment Dorothy abandoned her integrity to call for help, a flash of white light passed before her eyes, and then she saw a holy figure appear beside the Evil Seed little loli opposite her.

"Dorothy, the front line is still quite busy, you know."

Miss Shepherdess looked at the younger sister in front of her with some helplessness, then said in a seemingly reproachful but actually doting tone.

And to this, before Dorothy could even speak, a scream came to her ears.

"Damn, damn, damn, Teacher God King? Qian Bao, what's going on? Why did you summon Teacher God King just by calling out 'good sister'? What kind of invincible power is this? Is this a new magic spell you created? Teach me..."

Senior Fan Ni was so shocked that she was incoherent.

This couldn't be blamed on her for being disgraceful; it was mainly because she had never seen Teacher God King, who always seemed gentle and easygoing but was actually unreachable, be so truly gentle.

Tsk tsk tsk, look at that doting little gaze; it makes one's heart melt, okay? If Teacher Dragon King had ever received this treatment for even a second, she would probably be so excited that she'd run around the Witch World several times.

Therefore, she really wanted to learn this.

Only...

Originally, no one could see her except Dorothy, but at this moment, the Dinisha opposite, who had just been a gentle-as-water good sister, suddenly glanced sideways at the clown mask that Senior Fan Ni was possessing.

Hmm, it suddenly felt right. It was that gaze that contained a hint of disdain within the majesty. Teacher God King always warned her like this whenever she felt she was being noisy in the past.

Confirmed the gaze, oh my god, this is the real deal.

But, there's no reason for this. Teacher God King isn't omniscient and omnipotent yet, so how could she make the phantom of the past become the real person? Wait...

Could it be...

Senior Fan Ni seemed to have thought of something. She suddenly became quiet and then closed her mouth quite obediently and sensibly, as if she were really just an ordinary mask.

Among the Three Kings, it's hard to say who has the strongest combat power, but there is no dispute about who has the highest realm: it is the one in front of us, the oldest Witch King, Lord God King.

She is only a thin line away from transcendence.

It's not that kind of "so close yet so far" universe, but a true thin line.

The chains blocking her path only have one red thread left that would break with a single pull. As long as she wants, she can reach the Realm of Omniscience and Omnipotence that all witches dream of at any time.

It's just that she herself seems unwilling to break that last shackle, choosing instead to mark time and wait for over a hundred thousand years.

And now...

Hiss... Can't think about it, can't think about it. Asa Fan Ni, sometimes knowing too much is not a good thing.

At this moment, the masked Senior was obedient to the point of being pitiful.

Regarding this, the Home Witch also tapped her mask, wondering a bit strangely why the mask-wearing Senior, who had been so excited just a moment ago, had suddenly gone silent. Could she have disconnected again?

"Tsk, what kind of crappy internet speed is this? I was so looking forward to your reaction to seeing Dinisha, and this is it?"

Dorothy thought with some boredom.

But forget it, let the useless troll be. Now the most important thing is to solve the hot potato that is the Evil Seed little loli.

This Demon King maid is extremely precious and must be handed over to the state. Such a good item must be enjoyed by my good sister first.

So...

"My good sister, I've brought you a treasure. This child is clearly a good seedling, the kind with infinite future prospects. In order not to waste this child's talent and talent, I think she needs to follow you to learn."

The Home Witch said, pretending to be ignorant.

She knew that the Dinisha in front of her was definitely not the Shepherdess from five hundred years ago. She wasn't sure before, but after Senior Fan Ni explained the power of the omniscient and omnipotent, she had basically confirmed it.

The good sister in front of her is probably both her childhood sweetheart and that supreme Oldest King.

She believed that Dinisha probably knew the identity of this Evil Seed little loli just by looking at her...

No, it should be said that she probably knew everything from the very beginning.

Sophie Liya still felt that everything was the result of her controlling fate, but now it seems that her poor roommate is probably just a part of the fate script controlled by others.

She thought she was a chess player, but in the end, she was just a chess piece on a larger chessboard.

It's no wonder this pursuit mission came so coincidentally, and it just so happened that they were the only ones in the entire Magic Republic who had time to go on a mission.

Emmm...

Dorothy frowned. Before, Sophie Liya's psychological warfare only made her waver a little, but now all of this made her feel a bit terrified.

Is this the power of fate?

As expected of the supreme power that transcends time and space, it is truly terrifying.

Damn it, you people who hold scripts and play with fate are really dirty.

"Now you know to be afraid, right? You were so arrogant before, every day it was almost written on your face that you were invincible."

Opposite, Dinisha seemed to be able to see through the Home Witch's heart. She scraped the nose of the sister in front of her irritably, then turned her head to look at the loli beside her.

"As for this child, I've had enough, I'm too lazy to teach her anymore. This time, you do it yourself. After all, you were my teacher back then, weren't you?"

Miss Shepherdess said.

She thought for a moment, then added another sentence.

"This child looks quite tough. If she doesn't listen, beat her. Don't be polite. I said so."

Dorothy: "..."

Holding the imperial decree, the Home Witch suddenly felt she could do it again.

... Dorothy is eager to try... ===== CHAPTER 490 =====
