When the new dean of the Fringe College wanted to make trouble for Lao Yao with the matter of transferring a student.
The dean of Jiuyou College did not pay attention to such trivial matters.
That morning, he put an idea in the office of the old man Ruoyu, and shut down everyone. After blocking the strange stone sculptures in the office, he looked at the thin old man behind the desk with a serious expression.
“—Is there anything that I don’t need to know about in the school recently?”
His wording is very cautious.
It is not difficult to understand that as a legend who was born as a great demon, entering the school as the dean of the college is a shocking thing. If the school did not take any precautions behind his back, that would be a strange thing.
But prevention is one thing.
It's another thing to make him feel uneasy.
Old Man Ruoyu held the silver wolf-headed crutch, silently lowered his eyelids, and murmured: "——So, do you feel something is wrong? That's right, your intuition about danger is often stronger than that of a wizard."
After hearing this answer, Lao Yao immediately knew that his anxiety had nothing to do with the school. But what could affect the two legends at the same time and make them unaware of was nothing but the existence above those legends.
The dean of Jiuyou Academy frowned immediately.
“—Who is it?”
He looked up quietly, his eyes seemed to pass through the heavy ceiling and fell into a very distant place: "Starry sky? Or elsewhere?"
When talking to the ancients, you must be extra careful. In particular, they are all legendary existences. Every word they spit has powerful magic and is easier to perceive by the ancients.
Old Man Ruoyu shook his head.
"have no idea."
His expression was filled with a long-lost confusion, and his voice was very light, as if a slightly heavier gaze could shatter these words: "—At first I thought it was a sign of the departure of the husband, but I noticed that the dean of the Fringe College did not feel this abnormality. This feeling was different from the other adults..."
The "other adults" he mentioned were naturally the seven ancient men.
"——Yi Jiazi told me a few days ago that the astrological signs have changed."
Professor Yao suddenly spoke and interrupted the old man Ruoyu: "Although the astrological signs have not been stable over the years, according to his observations, this change in scale last appeared after the Black Prison War."
This sentence has been said very bluntly.
After the last Black Prison War, a slightly white new star rose from the ruined world, changing the pattern of the entire star sky, and proclaiming all the star maps published by the alliance were declared invalid. All students in the fourth grade of the First University had to take three hours of "New Astrology" for three hours.
The implication is that the uneasiness they noticed is that an ancient man was born in this world.
"——But what surprised Yi Jiazi was that the change in astrology did not affect divination." Lao Yao unconsciously took out his pipe, stuffed it into his mouth, and then added: "Just like that new star is a shadow...or, that new star has not yet risen? Who do you think is the most likely to be promoted?"
He exhaled a strong smoke, with a hint of unconscious envy and emotion in his tone.
Unlike Lao Yao, who has just been promoted, as one of the oldest legends in the league, Ruoyu is well aware of dozens of legends in the world, so it is naturally the easiest to guess the promotion candidate.
But beyond Lao Yao's expectations, Old Man Ruoyu shook his head.
“No one is.”
He stroked the silver-white wolf head in his hand, with a little thought in his tone: "In the past few days, I have greeted all the old guys who may be promoted... It's normal for everyone. However, you just mentioned that the new star might be a shadow, which reminded me of another possibility..."
He paused, his eyes fell on the "Dimensional Theory" spread out on his desk, and whispered: "—That is, that new star exists in another dimension."
...
...
Deep in the silent forest.
Glades in the forest.
The old panda sitting cross-legged under a reincarnation poplar shook the rice basin in his hand, and the figures of the two legendary figures of the first university reflected in the clear water in the basin were quietly shattered in the rippling water waves.
Then it looked up and looked at a figure that suddenly appeared in front of it.
"—Don't ask me, I don't know." The old panda's head shaking rattled, and the big tree behind him also trembled.
The sudden appearance was a tall old wizard with white hair and beard, holding a long wooden stick and wearing a plain white robe.
Hearing this, the old wizard frowned: "——You are the only one who has been staying on Bouji Island for this period. If you don't know, who will it be?"
The panda grinned.
"——Anyway, it won't be Naiazi and the other three. It's okay for you to let them swallow a star field, but it's impossible to let them use such fine methods in dimensions. Lalaye has just been promoted and does not have this ability. It's possible that the Demon Ancestor, but it just said hello to me, and it's not it... It once thought that it was going to be stabbed again, and almost slaughtered all the legendary demons under its command."
Abraham didn't think this misunderstanding was funny, frowned and gave another guess: "Is it because the principal left that someone came in outside?"
This is also the possibility that he thinks is the most likely.
The panda was silent for a long time.
The water in the rice bowl has calmed down again and reflected the colors of the stars in the sky.
"—You don't know what's outside, and I don't know either." The old panda shook his head, stared at his meal basin, and sighed long: "The principal may know, but he has left... But since you mentioned that old man, I remembered one of his previous guesses."
"What guess?"
"You also know that when the ancients become ancients, they will automatically ‘fill’ the closed timeline, select time nodes that conform to His existence and concept, and little by little connect His existence from ancient times to the present. In other words, when He becomes ancient, then He is also ancient in our known or even unknown history..."
"Say the point!"
“——Don’t interrupt!”
