"Although diviners always say that fate cannot be changed, diviners also believe that no one can be sure that what they see and interpret is the real fate. The Speaker has listed the things that may affect Laplace Klein Howard's plan here for us to solve."

Miss Miss Jia Lin Na handed that "task list" to Xia De, and Megan added:

"These things may have nothing to do with our family, maybe it will take decades to see the impact, maybe the Speaker also judged wrong. But the combination of small changes is enough to shake the most precise plan. Before Bernice, Aurora, and Grandma Cassandra arrive, we will arrange our followers to handle these things. You can also do it when you have time."

"I don't have many followers around me, and I am very free, so I will handle these things myself."

Miss Sylvia said, and then pointed out with a smile:

"The Speaker has set rewards for every thing this time, and they are very generous rewards. The council has accumulated a large amount of wealth, relics, and rare materials over the years. Xia De, you can try."

This is a good proposal, so Xia De wrote down the "Witch's Task List". Before Dr. Doctor Doctor Shi Nai De arrives, he can try to solve these things first, and also wait for other keys to appear one after another.

He has already made a plan. Going to the island again is not something to do in the near future. He wants to cut off the party and power of Laplace Klein Howard outside the island step by step. The arrival of Dr. Doctor Doctor Shi Nai De and Father Augustus will inevitably make that diviner reveal more power. After confirming all the bottom cards of the other party and clarifying the subsequent candidates for the "Chosen One of Space" this time, it is time to concentrate all power and go to the island for the last time.

Xia De talked to the witches until very late that night, but he did not stay in Mikaela Blast Furnace City, but waited until Margaret returned from the banquet, said goodbye to her, and then threw the crystal shoes to return home.

The landing point of the shoes was on the first floor of the house. After changing little Mia back, when holding the cat and walking to the stairs, he noticed that the house was silent. No one visited here tonight.

The house didn't turn on the lights. Walking in his own quiet big house with the cat, the restlessness, pressure, and hesitation gradually disappeared. He felt that he had returned to the person who was worried about his livelihood when he first came to this world.

Touching the head of the well-behaved cat, Xia De did not walk up the stairs, but opened the door in the foyer and walked into the warm wind of the spring night.

The night was deep, most of the neighbors in St. Deran Square had turned off the lights, but the gas lamps surrounding the square were still on. The warm light made the night a bit blurry and vague, making the fountain statue of the girl holding a water bottle in the center of the square look quieter and stranger than usual. The gas pipes and steam pipes climbing on the walls of the building almost merged with the night, and the star-like light in the distance of the square street was probably the cigarettes of carriage drivers waiting for guests.

There is the smell of spring in the air, but also the burnt smell of waste gas emitted by steam factories. The night was covered with hazy fog, but Xia De liked the night of St. Deran Square, liked this steam age, and liked everything he has now.

"Will the peaceful days continue?"

【Of course not, peace has a price.】

"That's true."

Xia De nodded. While touching Mia, the soft "meow" sound made by the cat spread far away in the night. Immediately, the sound of a cat in heat came from an unknown dark corner, but was immediately scolded back by little Mia's "fierce" cry.

Xia De smiled, returned to the house, and closed the door. His right hand had already pinched the pitch-black time key. At this time, it was the fourth day of the Rain Prayer Month of the Sixth Era. He was going to the destroyed Sixth Era of the past for the second time to witness the doomsday time after peace was no longer there.

"Mia, wait for me."

He threw little Mia onto the stairs, and the cat squatted on the dark stairs and watched him, its large amber eyes looking like they were glowing in the dark.

Xia De then aimed the key at the lock hole of his front door:

"May the World Tree protect me in infinite time."

After a click, the door that should have opened outward opened inward. But behind the door was not the night of St. Deran Square, but thick white fog.

He reached out and touched the white fog—

【Outsider, please note. Message from the "Father of the Infinite Tree": You are allowed to carry 1 extra relic this time.】

"This time?"

He didn't hear about this last time.

【Due to the instability of the time of "Past - Sixth Era", every time you use a special time key, the Tree Father will give new restrictive conditions.】

With a clatter, the coat was thrown behind him by Xia De, and the cat immediately jumped onto the warm clothes and squatted. Xia De, wearing a shirt, waved his hand behind him, pinched his choice, and walked into the door.

【Outsider, you have stepped into the "Corridor of Time".】

【Message from the Old God "Father of the Infinite Tree":】

【Past - Sixth Era, Old Continent, City of Doomsday - Tobesk.】

【Event: Tobesk, the Last Era.】

【Duration arbitrary (2/∞).】

【You have obtained extra information.】

【You have stepped into a history that does not exist.】

【The figure of the Father of the Infinite Tree watches you.】

【Note: During this exploration, you cannot leave the scope of St. Deran Square.】

【Note: You are allowed to carry any spellcasting materials into this period of time.】

【Note: Use the time key to defeat any powerful enemy, you can return to the "present" time.】

Throwing the black key in his hand, Xia De continued to move toward the time of the past in the white fog. The fog dissipated, and the dilapidated home was revealed little by little. It was still so sad here. In front was the sofa covered by white cloth, and behind was the pitch-black and damp fireplace.

For a moment, Xia De closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and clenched his fists to resist the chaotic elemental environment of the doomsday world and the power of the world itself. After opening his eyes, he checked the traces he left on the wall last time, and sure enough, they were all gone.

"Not linear time, or, there is no concept of time here. Every time I appear, it is a brand new time."

The only goal of the Past - Sixth Era is to defeat powerful enemies. Besides that, there is nothing of value here. But even so, Xia De still entered the basement, and then started from the basement, walking through this home that did not belong to him with his own steps.

"Luweiya is still not here..."

Finally, he climbed onto the roof from the attic, overlooking the doomsday era filled with yellow sand, watching the black sun with red light flowing downward.

The gravel was mixed with the wind and hit Xia De's face. He squinted his eyes and looked at the floating city surrounded by storms in the distance, and doubts arose in his heart:

"Long-haired Luweiya, how long did she live in this environment before restarting time? Will she feel lonely... definitely will."

His right hand gripped the key tightly and brought it in front of him:

"May the original silver moon guide the final direction."

In an instant, it seemed that the world turned black, light scattered from between his fingers, and the huge golden sun, moon, and star ritual base unfolded under his feet. The light extended into a black long staff. Xia De danced it a few times, and after preparing the spellcasting materials, he jumped off the roof and came to the square covered with garbage and pitted.

The yellow sand rolled in the cracks of the broken floor tiles of the square under the drive of the wind. Xia De looked at the direction of the Smith family, his neighbor. When the "Twin Lover" monster rushed out of the house last time, it smashed the door directly, but at this time the door was clearly intact:

"Sure enough, chaotic time and space."

He waited patiently for the appearance of the powerful enemy, listening to the abnormal sounds in the roaring wind. And the more he paid attention to the world itself, the more he could feel the huge loneliness and sad emotions.

"The world heading to the end, the world where all the familiar and accustomed beauties of the past have disappeared. Is this also the ending I am destined to welcome?"

With the appearance of these negative thoughts, the yellowish sky quickly dimmed, and the cold darkness pressed down, and the visibility decreased rapidly.

"Gurgle gurgle~ Gurgle gurgle~"

Strange sounds came from all directions. Xia De raised the long staff in his hand, and the silver moonlight at the top of the 【Staff of Yggdrasil】 illuminated the surroundings with his slow turning movement.

The sky had completely turned black, and even the sand mixed in the wind had become pitch black. The gurgling sound, along with the whispers and murmurs that made the heart restless, appeared from all around. Xia De understood at once what power the powerful enemy to be dealt with this time corresponded to.

"Silver Moon."

Closing his eyes, in the chaotic elements and the whispering sound that bewitched people's hearts, he sensed the fleeting inspiration. Suddenly turning to face his own house and raising his staff high, the silver moonlight that erupted instantly illuminated the scenery under the black doomsday sky.

A huge, mountain-like black shadow was standing behind No. 6 St. Deran Square at this time. It was clearly afraid of the holy and cold moonlight, but the moonlight could not illuminate its entire figure. Even though Xia De was sure that there was only yellowish sky and sand in the sky behind the house before he jumped down from the roof, at this moment he could not suppress the imagination that the black shadow had been watching all his actions from just now.

The silver moonlight only shone for a second. In that instant of peeping, Xia De saw that the giant-like black shadow seemed to be a huge merman. The characteristics of the fish head, even if it was a silhouette, were very different from humans. And the next second, darkness swallowed the light of the 【Staff of Yggdrasil】.
