Chapter 2723: Abandoned Qualification

~10 min read 1,856 words

Xia De did not know what was happening all over the world. At this time, in the dim and quiet woodland, he handed the arrow to the elf with a joyful face. Then he took out the bottle of umbilical cord and observed it against the moon, discovering that green tree-leaf-vein-like patterns had already appeared on the intertwined umbilical cord:

"So, can I also obtain the so-called Time War qualification by relying on this? This kind of qualification seems to be more powerful than my sublimation language."

"Of course not. You are not a candidate, you have no qualification, no qualification."

The elf girl who got the arrow said happily:

"However, if the power of these two umbilical cords is absorbed by other candidates, it can strengthen other people's time-travel ability. Oh, remind you, even if the Time War is opened and the Tree Father opens the qualification to go to ancient times, don't think about precisely locating a certain period."

"Ah?"

"But if you can let other people's qualifications gather on one person, you can try to break through this precision limit. *Cough cough*, since you found the third arrow, I can help you transfer this qualification. Come find me when you find a candidate."

She held the arrow and whistled, and the yellow land-running bird waiting for her in the woods ran out quickly.

"It's too late today, I'm going back to rest, see you tomorrow~"

She waved her hand and was about to leave, but was stopped by Xia De:

"Wait a moment, this is for you."

He wanted to take off the crown clipped on his arm, but the elf girl didn't want it. However, she didn't show a surprised expression, just looked like she was trying to hold back from laughing because of shyness. She knew what this was, and her tone when declining was also very gentle:

"This shouldn't belong to me. Thank you, Xia De... Good night, you two, see you tomorrow."

Then she sat sideways on the land-running bird and left as if running away.

The owl on Xia De's shoulder commented:

"This girl is really simple, she doesn't know how to hide her thoughts at all."

Saying this, she rubbed Xia De's hair with her wings, and Xia De showed a smile, his gaze moving to the moon high above again:

"The candidates this time can go to those ancient times that best suit them..."

This was one of the few times he regretted not being a Chosen One, but this fact could not be changed.

He was just thinking that in this ancient woodland, seven candidates who had learned ancient knowledge and had ancient heroes to accompany them were about to face off. The forest would witness this "war." Although the Time Guardians said this was not the Chosen One ritual, just a condition for the ritual, Xia De still thought this ritual was very legendary.

(Little Mia is running...)

When Xia De returned home that night, it was already ten o'clock.

Because Galina had brought the maids to visit, the house was very lively even though it was night. Luvia and Galina were both waiting for Xia De to return. Seeing Xia De return, they immediately looked at Luvia's hand, and they both understood:

"You really knew about this. This appeared more than an hour ago. Has there been a new change in the Vesta Woodland?"

Luvia in front of the fireplace stood up and showed him the leaf vein marks on the back of her hand. This mark would not always appear; it needed Luvia to stimulate it with spirit to appear.

"Yes, the story of the Chosen One of Time is finally officially opened."

Xia De nodded, held Luvia's hand and touched it:

"I have already asked Miss Dannister to go to the academy to confirm. Emilia also has this kind of mark on her hand."

Tifa, who had just directed the maids to wipe the fireplace, came to Xia De's side and helped him take off his coat. Xia De also let go of Luvia's hand:

"Emilia slept very early tonight. I hope Miss Dannister didn't scare her too much when she broke into her dormitory. However, the mark on Emilia's hand is much denser than the leaf vein mark on yours."

While he was changing clothes and washing up, he explained everything that happened tonight to Luvia and Galina completely. The Time Guardians didn't say that he couldn't reveal their existence to others.

And before Xia De returned, Luvia actually knew the role of this mark. The mark on the back of the hand was not just a simple mark; its qualification itself also contained information.

Half an hour ago, Xia De had met the sleepy Emilia through a projection ritual and heard her talk about the information she obtained, but he still needed to confirm that everyone's information was the same.

After changing into home clothes, he sat on the sofa, and Little Mia also jumped onto his lap and lay down. Luvia then said:

"It's about the same as the situation you described, just that I obtained more details.

The so-called 'Time War' can indeed be divided into two parts according to the process. The first part is to open the qualification, and then go to the time point that best suits oneself to obtain power. If one doesn't prepare anything, it depends on luck, but this can actually be prepared."

Galina helped her say the content they summarized before Xia De returned:

"According to Luvia's own understanding, one's own experience, origin, bloodline, and soul compatibility will affect the time point one goes to. But if one holds corresponding items when opening the qualification, it can also increase the possibility of going to a specific time point. It's just that complete precision positioning is almost impossible."

She looked at Xia De, and Xia De knew what she meant:

"Luvia, you continue."

The purple-eyed diviner nodded:

"Opening the qualification to go to an unknown time point must be within the range of the Vesta Woodland.

Although I don't know the identities of other qualifiers, I know that seven people, including me, have obtained the qualification. After five of them use the qualification, the remaining two must use the qualification within 24 hours, otherwise, it will be regarded as an automatic forfeit.

This is the first stage. And at the time point we go to, we will be regarded as real traversal, not bystanders. Afterward, through specific methods, one can obtain power, weapons, and even help through contracts, and then bring these things back to the present. Of course, one can bring at most one helper back to the present.

But after everything ends, weapons and summoned people will return to where they belong. And power, unless one truly masters it, the borrowed power will also disappear."

"Is that what Emilia said?"

Galina asked Xia De again, and Xia De nodded:

"Yes, I originally thought that the candidates with higher rankings had more complete information. Now it seems everyone is the same."

As for the second stage of the "Time War," that is, everyone returns to the present, and then competes until the final winner appears.

Unlike other Chosen One rituals, the Chosen One ritual of time does not require those behind to kill those in front. As long as one can win the Time War, then any ranking other than Luvia has the qualification to hold the final ritual.

Of course, this does not mean that all candidates are completely fair. The information obtained by Luvia and Emilia both showed that the higher the ranking, the more power from other time points one can bring back to the present.

But Luvia and Emilia also couldn't know what ranking they were. This was a secret as always.

"I don't want to participate in this."

After checking the information, Luvia said again. Seeing that the Duchess was not surprised, Xia De knew that this was also what they had already discussed:

"Why?"

"There can only be one Chosen One. Since we have Emilia here, why should I participate in this? It's better to concentrate everyone's power to help Emilia."

Luvia saw it very clearly:

"I bet Emilia's ranking is definitely higher than mine. After all, judging from her bloodline, her talent for time must be much higher than mine."

But she was wrong this time. Xia De felt that even if Emilia lived for another ten thousand years, she probably wouldn't learn the ability to destroy time and restart the era.

"And from my own will, I don't want to become any Chosen One.

Although this identity is considered noble, it is also a burden. Among you, me, and Irena, since Irena is already a Chosen One, in order for our next path to go more smoothly, there is actually no need for me to bear these.

As a diviner, it's best for me not to easily become the protagonist of the story. This will make it difficult for my eyes to see every thread of fate."

Luvia's thoughts were consistent with Xia De's. He also thought so after knowing the so-called "Time War." Luvia really didn't need to get involved. The Luvia with shoulder-length hair considered it based on the future and her own personality, and the long-haired Luvia also hinted in the dream that she didn't need to become the Chosen One of Time.

"That's good."

Xia De confirmed the matter:

"The elves in the woods seem to have a way to gather different qualifications into one person's identity. This will greatly enhance the power and positioning precision of the person who obtains the majority of qualifications, allowing them to gain a more favorable position in the Time War.

The qualification of the twin princes as the fourth candidate is now manifested on their umbilical cord. Plus your qualification, Luvia, I think Emilia might go to the Saint Byron of the mid-Fifth Era."

"The era when your academy was founded?"

Galina asked, holding a teacup and thinking for a while, feeling that this arrangement was indeed very good:

"She grew up in Saint Byron since she was a child. From the perspective of identity and experience, her compatibility with the academy is indeed very good. If you add the notebook of Miss Felianna in your hand, it is not impossible for Emilia to go to that era, but..."

The Duchess asked Xia De with a smile:

"How do I feel that your focus is not on letting Emilia obtain something, but on wanting her to bring Miss Mana Felianna back to the present?"

Luvia then also laughed. Xia De immediately shook his head, but hesitated and nodded. He touched the cat lying on his lap and did not deny his thoughts:

"Is there anything wrong with me having this thought? The trouble we are facing now is not just the so-called Time War. This is actually a small matter. Even if someone obtains incredible power, at most it is thirteen-ring. Is this very dangerous compared to the evil gods and ancient evil things of the past?" ===== CHAPTER 2724 =====
