Chapter 285: Space-Time Beacon

Green Pearl Forest, winds rising and clouds surging.

A brief glimpse earlier made Luolun realize that his opponent was not merely a human Mage, but also possessed a Mage Tower; wanting to take back the Star Dew Scepter, as well as Feinuoweita, was very difficult for him, who only had the strength for one strike left.

Fortunately, there was a Mythallar remnant there; although it had already collapsed, in the eyes of a High Mage, even if only a few remains were left, they could still be utilized.

And from the moment he discarded his mortal body, the High Mage Luolun had no way back; his powerful soul rushed into the chaotic area of the Magic Net and began to rapidly take over the remaining Mythallar.

And on the basis of the original Mythallar remnant, he deconstructed and re-wove it according to his will; doing this would not only provide him with a better environment for Spellcasting, but could also delay his journey to the A Fanduo Homeland.

However, even though Mage Luolun had eliminated the commotion of taking over and reconstructing the Mythallar as much as possible, he still alarmed Aipusi, who had collapsed to the ground due to guiding the Mage Tower's arrival and imprisoning the Elf Mage.

Although Aipusi did not know that the soul of a High Mage had already arrived here and was controlling the Mythallar, he understood that there must be others nearby.

Aipusi quickly gripped the Star Dew Scepter on his right hand side, using it to struggle to support his body; he summoned the Tower Spirit to cast layers of Protective Spell, and then took the imprisoned Elf Mage into the Mage Tower.

After finishing all this, he looked around vigilantly.

In this chaotic area of the Magic Net, the Mage Tower's capabilities were also greatly restricted; only a small area around it could be controlled by it.

It was impossible to monitor the entire town area like he did in Savile Town!

And the most troublesome thing was that once the Mage Tower was summoned over, it could not be moved for a short time, and he was therefore restricted here as well.

"Sigh—"

For a moment, Aipusi had no idea what to do and could only return to the Mage Tower first.

……

The sudden teleportation of the Mage Tower did not affect the normal order inside the Mage Tower in the slightest; everything was as if nothing had happened.

With the assistance of the Tower Spirit, Aipusi's gaze swept through the interior of the Mage Tower; he saw the Apprentice working, and also saw the Official Mage on duty.

Finally, his gaze landed on a young Mage who was in the Spell Laboratory—

"Xia Duo!" Aipusi's tone was profound.

At this moment, his perception of Xia Duo was very complex; he had obtained a Plane Crystal, and even a powerful Elf Scepter, but because of this, he had also invited trouble.

It was already difficult for Aipusi to judge the gains and losses in this; now he could only passively wait for trouble to come to his door. If it were just a small trouble, he would be very happy; if it were a big trouble, then—

Aipusi looked at the Star Dew Scepter in his hand, his eyes revealing a sense of reluctance.

"If it really comes to that time, perhaps giving it to Her Highness the Princess is the best choice!"

And before that, Aipusi prepared to contact the Territory to make corresponding preparations, especially Niya; only the Mage Tower was the safest.

……

At first, the Communication Artifact failed, and Aipusi just assumed that the chaotic area of the Magic Net was blocking the Sending, but when he came to the dedicated Communication Room and still could not contact the Territory with the help of the Magic Array, Aipusi realized—

Trouble had come!

Perhaps what he felt before, that the chaos of the Magic Net environment was receding and order was being rebuilt, was not an illusion, but was really happening!

And before Aipusi could take any action, the Tower Spirit sent bad news again, "Master, the connection channel between the Tower of Time and the Inner Plane has been blocked. Estimated time to break through the blockade: one day, two days, three days..."

"……"

Never mind one or two days, Aipusi could not wait even half a minute, and according to the Tower Spirit's estimation, this blockade was actually becoming more and more tight.

The Mage Tower's energy originated from the Four Elements Pool and the Positive and Negative Energy Pool, but fundamentally it originated from the Inner Plane; once it was blocked for too long and the reserve energy was exhausted, the Mage Tower would just be an ordinary stone tower.

Not to mention various auxiliary functions, even entering and exiting would be a problem; one must know that the Tower of Time did not have any physical doors.

The most critical thing was that after just experiencing an overall teleportation, the Tower of Time's energy reserves were already at a low level, and the current Inner Plane channel was blocked again.

Although Aipusi had never heard the phrase "adding frost to snow," he deeply realized at this moment that the situation was bad!

With almost no hesitation, Aipusi immediately ordered the Tower Spirit to teleport him to the Plane Exploration Array; if there was anything that could break the deadlock, he thought of this first.

The so-called Plane Exploration Array was actually a collection of a series of Magic Arrays with the Plane Crystal as the core; perhaps it could be called an array.

The main function of this array was to search for Planes and link Planes, among which the Inner Plane was naturally included.

Aipusi temporarily could not care about whether this Scepter was to be given to Her Highness the Princess later; he just wanted to get through the current crisis first.

If he did not use the Plane Exploration Array first, perhaps he would not even have the ability to contact Her Highness the Princess.

Aipusi solemnly placed the Star Dew Scepter at the core of the array, and then silently waited for the array to respond.

Time passed bit by bit, and just when he thought that the Plane Crystal had been made into a Magic Item and might not be able to make the array respond, the array suddenly started.

The Tower Spirit's voice also came, "Plane Exploration Array core component is in place! Inner Plane is linked, energy transmission is restricted, at twelve percent of the normal state."

Phew—

Aipusi let out a long sigh of relief; this was the complete state of the Tower of Time planned and designed by the Great Arcanist!

Although the current energy transmission was still restricted, compared to being completely blocked before, it was already much better; this also gave him the confidence to fight back.

But before he could be happy for long, a stream of light suddenly shot out from a certain position in the Plane Exploration Array, heading straight for Aipusi's head.

Aipusi could not dodge in time, was hit by the stream of light, and then fell into a dazed state.

After a long time, he finally came back to his senses, his eyes full of shock and disbelief; looking at the exploration array that was already in operation, Aipusi's mood was very complex, and he muttered:

"Wrong, Father was wrong, and I was wrong too!"

At this moment, he thought again of the final letter left by his grandfather, in which it was mentioned that there might be a Plane Crystal near the Territory, but in the past, neither he nor his father had paid attention to it.

If they had spared no cost to wipe out the Orcs on the Wolf God Mountain after his grandfather disappeared, and then fully expanded to the south, perhaps they could have discovered the Mythallar here long ago.

With sufficient time later, it might even have been possible to obtain the Plane Crystal without destroying the Mythallar.

And once the Plane Crystal was obtained, then—

The stream of light that had just shot into Aipusi's head was information left by his grandfather, the Great Arcanist Saville; the content was not much, but any one of the items in it was enough to shock Aipusi.

His grandfather did not die exploring an Other Plane, but was exiled to an Other Plane because he angered a god. The Tower of Time's exploration array, besides the functions it should have possessed, was more of a Guidance Beacon.

A Space-Time Beacon to guide the Great Arcanist's return!
