Chapter 1 A Warning From Tiberius the Suspended

【A Warning From Tiberius the Suspended—】

【Each choice made will grant a stage-by-stage deduction result of the suspended future illusion, and jump to a brand new timeline.】

【Personally interfering with each round of activating the suspended future illusion can only be used once, and requires a huge amount of energy to maintain a more realistic illusion and perform more complex future divination deductions.】

【After using the personally interfere option, you may personally experience the illusion of death and pain, and cause a great mental burden. Use with caution.】

Red text flickered in Lan Qi's vision.

"This magical device is interesting."

He leaned back comfortably, interlaced his fingers, and made the office chair creak.

Sitting in the office, he felt unusually at ease.

Currently, it seems that the illusion created by the Mirror of Tiberius has the same effect as the Shadow World.

It's just that the Shadow World projects past history, while the Mirror of Tiberius projects the future.

And the Shadow World requires a long time to experience in person, while the Mirror of Tiberius only needs to simulate quickly to get the result.

"So, once you choose an option, it may fast forward directly to a few hours later, or even a day or two later? Then it will also quickly move to the next scene?"

Talia asked in his heart.

Even in the illusory space inside the Mirror of Tiberius, Talia still came with him.

Who told them their souls were connected.

But just as Lan Qi could not use his original power at this moment, and completely turned into the Black Sun Lord, Talia, as Lan Qi's natal card, could not manifest, and could only speak in Lan Qi's mind.

"I think so."

Lan Qi paused and answered.

He was a little surprised that Talia was still there.

But thinking that he was in an illusory space of another time and space, and had a confidante to accompany him, it was not bad.

"Now you know how good your big sister confidante is, right?"

Talia snorted softly.

She admitted that she was very cold to Lan Qi during the time she taught him how to make cards, but she also had her gentle side. After getting along for so long, Lan Qi must have realized it.

"After all, it's an eight-hundred-year-old brand."

Lan Qi praised.

"Then thank you for your patronage..."

Talia found that she couldn't do anything to Lan Qi at the moment, so she said in a polite and terrifying tone.

Lan Qi suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

Talia would actually respond to his words?

Not only could she not manifest at this moment, but it seemed… she couldn't use mental magic to control him.

Then, in the Mirror of Tiberius, he could chat with her freely?

This kind of thing is just so cool!

However, just as Lan Qi was about to make a move, he heard Talia's inner voice—

You wait, Lan Qi.

I'll ride you again when we get out.

"..."

Lan Qi restrained his mind and focused on the information provided by the Mirror of Tiberius.

The most important thing was undoubtedly about his current state.

Every spell and equipment he possessed from beginning to end could be clicked to view the Mirror of Tiberius's appraisal results—

【Undying Eternal Punishment】

【Category: Active Spell】

【Grade: Epic】

【Attribute: Seal】

【Rank: 5】

【Effect: At the cost of sacrificing a certain amount of one's own life and mana, the target's life state is continuously locked. This spell cannot be actively dispelled. Excessive attacks on the sealed target will weaken the sealing effect. Using wolf blood or demon blood as a medium can reduce the cost of life or mana.】

Lan Qi cared most about this spell, and it was also the spell he was most likely to learn.

Back in the second Shadow World, at the Saint Hall Villain Banquet, he found books related to this spell in the library of Lichtenstein Castle. At that time, he was too weak to only understand and remember the principles but could not learn and master it.

Later, Lan Qi himself experimented and figured out a substitute plan for sealing blood clans.

So he did not spend a lot of time and energy learning this sealing technique that hurt the enemy a thousand and damaged himself eight hundred.

The Black Sun Lord himself has wolf blood and demon blood, and can use it at a low cost, but Lan Qi does not. Leaving aside how long it would take to learn an epic magic, he would not necessarily use it even if he learned it.

"After weakening the blood clan, can this spell be used to seal the blood clan into a permanent near-death state?"

Talia had also heard about this spell. Hyperion had told her about the magic in the Shadow World.

In the original history, the Son of the Sun obtained wolf heart and demon blood in Lichtenstein Castle, and since then the cost of using this magic has been greatly reduced, and it has also begun to be used as a normal core magic.

Now she finally saw the complete version of [Undying Eternal Punishment].

"Yes, this magic is specifically for undead creatures. For enemies with super recovery and invincibility, lock their life limit. Although it's not a cure, it's always useful."

In the magic book in Lichtenstein Castle, Lan Qi only saw the helplessness of the creator of this sealing technique.

Later, after being learned and improved by Lanclos, it became a more practical spell.

Lan Qi had seen a similar epic sealing technique in reality.

That is, the big move used by Lao Sang in the northern border snowfield that can lock the state.

However, [Undying Eternal Punishment] differs from Askesan's spell in several ways.

In addition to the different dispelling conditions, Askesan's spell locks all states, while this spell only locks the life state. Of course, the life state can also radiate to certain other states. Comprehensively speaking, Askesan's effect is stronger.

Moreover, after Askesan's sealing technique is cast, life can only decrease and cannot increase. It can further kill the sealed target. After this Undying Eternal Punishment takes effect, life cannot increase or decrease.

Therefore, Askesan's spell is an extremely negative state, while Undying Eternal Punishment is more inclined to a neutral state.

"Lan Qi, you finally get to play the Black Sun Lord's big account."

Talia, like a ghost assistant, was also watching the magic appraisal results beside Lan Qi. These were all epic magic that she had never seen before.

Although the identity Lan Qi played after coming to the Shadow World Undying Eternal Punishment Endgame was the Saint Pope Lant, his own sixth-order rank had not changed.

This magical device seemed to record information according to its unique dimensional judgment method, and directly simulated the future of the Saint Pope Lant that Lan Qi was currently playing.

In other words, the judgment of the Shadow World is supreme, and then it is the turn of the Mirror of Tiberius to judge. The Shadow World says he is the Saint Pope Lant, and no matter whether he is or not, the Mirror of Tiberius will recognize him as the Saint Pope Lant in the Shadow World.

"After all, the Shadow World is a creation of God that is above everything. The fact that the Mirror of Tiberius can interfere with the Shadow World to a certain extent has proven that the Mirror of Tiberius has the gold content to reach the level of the Divine Dao Domain."

Lan Qi and Talia chatted as usual.

Before making a choice, he had to seriously look at the state of the Black Sun Lord at his peak.

He had to figure out his basic information at this time before he could make the best judgment.

The next particularly conspicuous spell after [Undying Eternal Punishment] was also epic.

【Chimera Edict】

【Category: Active Spell】

【Grade: Epic】

【Attribute: Seal/Earth】

【Rank: 7】

【Effect: Seals a target that is unable to act or is far weaker than oneself into a Chimera Stone Pillar. The sealed state cannot be dispelled until the Chimera Stone Pillar is broken from the inside or outside.】

"I seem to have seen it."

Talia murmured.

She had seen the actual use of the [Chimera Edict] in the Shadow Weave Gem of Kaliella before.

This is the story in the original history corresponding to the third Shadow World.

In the image left by Kaliella, the Black Sun Lanclos was sitting in the Demon King's Palace Council Hall with Sigrid, and Kaliella controlled Eduardo, the Fourth Progenitor who was about to self-destruct, at the critical moment. At the same time, all the Great Demon Clans were also dragged into their respective fallen Gentle Homes.

The first to wake up was Marquis Ulysses, the tenth progenitor of the Blood Clan, who had a unique state of mind.

He was preparing to take away Sigrid, the last and strongest wolf species.

And Lanclos also crossed the tribulation here, broke free from the fallen Gentle Home, his mind was clear, he was promoted to the eighth rank, and sealed Ulysses, the tenth progenitor.

The spells used by the Black Sun Lord to seal the tenth progenitor Ulysses and the fourth progenitor Eduardo in the Demon King's Palace were the eclipse-like twisting vortex and the chimerical staggered rock pillars.

"Can you learn this spell?"

Talia felt that since Lanclos could learn it, then Lan Qi should be able to learn it after the seventh rank.

The continuous control of the ending.

It was much stronger than Lan Qi's [Basic Etiquette].

Lan Qi often used [Basic Etiquette] to finish the job.

It didn't have the demeanor of a strong person at all.

If he used [Chimera Edict], it would have the feeling of a monarch.

Although letting the enemy kneel also has the feeling of a monarch… but Talia didn't really agree with it.

"First of all, give me a magic book that records the learning methods of [Chimera Edict], and then practice for three to five years, and maybe I can learn it. To be honest, if I really have these three to five years, wouldn't it be more effective for me to do something else than to learn skills?"

Lan Qi said unhappily.

He was already used to quickly mastering new skills with magic cards, and it was basically impossible for him to spend time learning magic.

"That's true."

Talia had to admit that Lan Qi's talent in other aspects was even greater than magic.

Looking further down, although Lan Qi had not learned the two epic spells, he was extremely familiar with their effects.

【Radiant Corona】

【Category: Passive Spell】

【Grade: Epic】

【Attribute: Light】

【Rank: 6】

【Passive Effect: Greatly increases the power of light attribute spells and adds extra power of the sun to attacks.】

"This is probably the Black Sun Lord's talent magic. He is the embodiment of the sun, the nemesis of the Blood Clan."

Talia explained to Lan Qi.

As a demon clan, she could see at a glance that the composition of this magic came from the demon clan's talent.

The reason why Lanclos was able to create demon clan talent magic was because he had been transformed by the Horning Empire Experimental Field, and he was already considered a demon between the demon clan and humans. In addition, he passed the Great Demon Clan Trial and became a Great Demon Clan, truly crossing the threshold of the demon clan category.

Just like many half-demon clans and even one-eighth demon clans in the Protos Empire may derive demon clan talents, it is not surprising that Lanclos has his own demon clan talent.

And Lanclos's best attribute as a human is sealing, and as a Radiant Demon, the most compatible attribute is light. The demon clan talent magic that is born is naturally the light attribute.

"Unfortunately, my Great Demon Clan imprint is strictly on the Great Poet of Love. There is no place in my own bloodline or soul that can carry the demon clan talent. It's normal that I can't derive the demon clan talent."

Lan Qi was quite relieved.

The demon clan's talent magic is equivalent to getting a white ordinary quality spell that is most compatible with oneself for free, and then one can continuously deduce and strengthen this spell with one's own growth, and finally reach the perfect form of orange epic.

Whether it is [Fallen Gentle Home], [Hopeless Heavenly Army], or [Way to Death and Rebirth]

are the top epic spells Lan Qi has ever seen.

Of course, there are also more numb talent magic, such as identifying whether the other party is lying.

"Huh?"

Talia had something to say.

Her talent magic is currently pink divine quality. When it evolves into orange epic quality mind reading, it will be very useful. It can predict the opponent's actions in battle. Isn't this strong?

"Indeed, I haven't seen you use it much when fighting enemies, but you're very accurate when arresting me."

Lan Qi suspected that this magic was a special attack on him.

"When I was a spy in the Cretei Empire, didn't I cover for you? I'm already working hard to help you read other people's minds, okay."

Talia said a little aggrievedly.

"..."

Lan Qi was speechless for a moment.

"Okay, Master, you're the most useful."

He rarely saw Talia being aggrieved.

It seemed that he had said too much.

"Huhu."

Talia let out a light laugh.

Iphatia taught her correctly. As long as you pretend to be pitiful, men will waver.

Sure enough, there was no problem controlling Lan Qi.

"Is it really okay for you to think about these things in my heart openly...?"

Lan Qi thought Talia was beyond help.

These sisters were one who dared to teach and one who dared to learn.

His attention returned to Lanclos's magic.

Familiar with Lanclos's magic, he could also have some insights. Their compatibility was already very high.

If he could remember it, maybe one day in the future he could follow suit and learn similar magic in reality.

This talent magic was more useful than his little sun [Radiant Virtue].

Because [Radiant Corona] is a passive magic, it is effective when attacking. Unlike the summoned object [Radiant Virtue], it can be broken by the enemy.

The only advantage of [Radiant Virtue] is that it can block vision, adding a sealing attribute.

"The last unfamiliar epic spell is also like your [Nuclear Fusion Wolf]."

Talia sighed as she stared at the appraisal results.

【Eternal Radiant Destruction】

【Category: Active Spell】

【Grade: Epic】

【Attribute: Light】

【Rank: 8】

【Effect: Consumes all of one's own mana to cause ultra-range indiscriminate damage centered on oneself.】

"This magic is placed at the end. It should be the destructive magic that the Black Sun Lord has comprehended in his entire life."

Lan Qi could guess its origin.

Probably after seeing the [Destruction of Blood] used by the fourth progenitor Eduardo in the Demon King's Palace, he also conducted research on the captured fourth progenitor Eduardo, and thus learned the ultimate magic.

It does not need to use consumables like the nuclear fusion wolf. It only needs Lanclos's own mana to trigger a devastating explosion.

It was also from then on that the Black Sun Lord, who stepped into the eighth-order domain and learned the ultimate magic, truly became a strong person with front-line combat power and could change the battle situation on the battlefield.

Six years after the Porte Empire declared war, corresponding to the timeline between the third Shadow World and the fourth Shadow World, the node where the Demon King City Nekalis was suddenly attacked by the Blood Clan, Kaliella lost to Duke Larsal, the third progenitor.

Because he obtained Kaliella's soul, the Black Sun Lord also obtained the magic [Last Gentle Home] given to him by the Fallen Lord.

The effect is no different from [Overflowing Gentle Home]. It is a weakened version of Kaliella's talent magic.

As for [Indestructible Glass Body], it is very similar to the epic necklace [Indestructible Glass Tear] that Lan Qi exchanged for Frey.

The more buffs and debuffs on the body, the higher the damage reduction and all basic attribute enhancement will be obtained.

It can also ignore a fatal injury and restore to full state. The effect will be restored every full moon night.

[Indestructible Glass Body] is a passive magic that has the characteristics of obtaining the heart of the wolf clan prince.

"Lanclos spent his entire life learning three epic spells. It can be said that he has reached the limit of living beings."

Talia did not delve into the other spells Lanclos had mastered. They were basically some very common ancient spells.

Most of the rest were gifts from friends.

Even Bishop Ivanos of Destruction, relying on his own active epic spells, only had [Great Destruction] and [Afterglow of the Other Shore].

And Ivanos was already the most talented mage of their time in Lan Qi's era.

Lanclos's talent should not be as good as Ivanos and Loren, but Lanclos has experienced too many hardships that do not exist in the real world, which has created him to become stronger almost with his life, unforgettable hatred, and will beyond the limit.

"It's a pity that Lanclos doesn't have the talent of Ivanos and Loren. His entire life has been beaten on the road to becoming stronger, experiencing loss, then becoming stronger, then losing again, and then becoming stronger. He has hardly ever had a smooth game."

Lan Qi commented.

Lan Qi and Talia spent a long time looking at the Black Sun's spell bar and accessory bar before they finished reading them.

Most of the accessories were magic props. They might be very strong in the fourth and fifth orders, but for the current Black Sun Lord, they were almost useless.

For example, the witch's warm company. This earring can withstand an eighth-order attack for him.

In fact, the mental attribute of the Black Sun Lord, who is at the limit of the ninth order, is ridiculously high, and his mana is bottomless. His magic resistance is also so high that he can easily take an eighth-order spell without any problems.

He still wears these accessories, probably just for commemorative purposes.

"It's time to do serious business."

Lan Qi turned his attention to the options given by Tiberius for the future in front of the office desk.

Continue to stay, go to Demon King City, or return to the Church State.

Divination magic has limitations. It is not

possible to create a complete future world and let him experience it in person and derive it.

Each time a choice is made, the Mirror of Tiberius will directly deduce it according to his choice and enter the next key node.

Moreover, once the last option is selected, it may cause insufficient energy in the Purgatory Corridor Academy.

The Purgatory Corridor Academy and the Mirror of Tiberius are both sharing the energy of the central chamber.

Now he is equivalent to using private energy privately.

Lanclos has five and a half days left to live. The following choices must be thought clearly before making a choice, otherwise a simulation opportunity of the Mirror of Tiberius will end.

"So what if I can only live for five days? Invincible is written on my face, okay? I can go wherever I want."

Talia suspected that Lan Qi would have similar effects when he reached the ninth order.

Because Lan Qi's strange path is different from Lanclos's path, Lan Qi's frontal strength is far less than Lanclos, but Lan Qi's summons and Lanclos's spells are somewhat similar.

It can probably be regarded as Lanclos being a pure magic tank with full strength, while Lan Qi is a more alternative shaman.

"Do you want this kind of invincibility? I don't want it anyway."

Lan Qi asked casually.

If Talia gets the Poem of Compassion and then starts her rise, it may indeed be an invincible path.

"I don't want it either."

Talia reviewed Lanclos's life in a second and felt that this kind of invincibility was better left alone.

The power that was exchanged for losing everything, its meaning is punishment.

"If I choose the first option—stay in the Purgatory Corridor Academy, it's basically equivalent to waiting for fate peacefully and resting here."

Lan Qi tapped his fingers lightly on the office desk and analyzed.

Even without divination magic, people have the ability to deduce and predict. The approximate meaning behind each option can also be guessed.

If you choose this option, the simulation may end in one step.

"The second option, go to Demon King City... What else can I do besides meet the Lord of Desecration, Melogas?"

Lan Qi continued to consider, and his voice became more hesitant.

"Don't go to see that crazy woman. I don't want to see her."

Talia directly excluded this option for him.

She still finds the Scorpion-tailed Witch Melogas disgusting.

Whether she hits her or humiliates her, she looks very enjoying herself, and even her face will be inexplicably flushed.

Talia's scalp tingles just thinking about it.

She can't afford to offend her, so she can hide.

"Then choose C."

Lan Qi came to a conclusion.

It just so happened that before departing from the Church State, he had promised Elm, the Grand Justice of his confidant in the Saint Pope Lant Church, to go to Oberon, the headquarters of the Iron Fortress on the southern border of the Church State, to witness the fourth anniversary of the peaceful recovery of the Seville Land.

Accurately knowing the fate, there is no time to hold on for two weeks.

Lanclos probably still doesn't want to break his promise.

So he first set off to Oberon, the Iron Fortress on the southern border of the Church State, which can be regarded as fulfilling the last agreement of his life.

As for the last option, "personally interfere," it doesn't make sense to use the personally interfere opportunity at the beginning, and there is no other place to go besides staying or going south or north. Personally interfere is just a waste of time and energy.

"I think if it were Lanclos, he would also choose to go south."

Talia agreed.

After all, even Lanclos's hometown—a small town in the Horning Empire—is in the south.

Perhaps there is a feeling of returning to his roots, making him want to return to his hometown one last time.

"Let's go back to the Church State."

Lan Qi nodded and gently touched the semi-transparent light curtain.

In an instant, the entire world in front of him changed instantly.

He felt like he had turned into an extreme shadow, flying south at the speed of the ninth order.

The surrounding scenery receded rapidly, blurring into a mottled color.

After an unknown amount of time, the sky darkened and brightened again. He crossed the Demon Realm, the Land of Eternal Night, and the Saint Porte Church State. Perhaps he flew tens of thousands of kilometers, and a majestic fortress city appeared in his sight.

This is probably the southern border of the Saint Porte Church State. The city walls are towering into the clouds and are majestic, as if showing the world that this city-state is invincible.

He observed the entire city-state from a high altitude like a bird overlooking the mortal world.

The well-arranged streets, the simple and heavy buildings, and the bustling crowds were all in full view.

【You have arrived at the southernmost part of the Saint Porte Church State, the Iron Fortress Oberon. It is preparing for the fourth anniversary of the peaceful recovery of the Seville Land with the border city-state of the Horning Empire.】

【Continue south, you have entered the Hersleinn, the northern province of the Horning Empire.】

"Lan Qi, you are flying."

Talia's voice echoed in Lan Qi's ears.

The flying speed of the ninth-order mind magic is already exaggerated, and the Mirror of Tiberius has also fast-forwarded this process.

"At this speed, it will probably be simulated soon."

The interlude that Lan Qi saw in the middle felt like it was a hundred times faster, and he didn't need to control it himself.

On the border of the Horning Empire after the war, the cold winter sunlight shone on the main city covered with white snow, glowing with crystal light.

Inside those high walls where the war had once raged, the wilderness has now been converted into greenhouses. Even in the cold winter, you can see green vegetables and fruits. Children are playing and running beside them from time to time. The innocent laughter is particularly clear and sweet in the biting cold wind.

The closer you get to the center of the city-state, the more bustling the markets and merchant squares are. People are talking and laughing, and the winter festivals are peaceful and joyful.

The rebuilt power plants and hospitals have

now become important guarantees for the fortress, providing magic energy and medical services to local citizens. The original barracks area of the fortress has been built into schools, where the children of the Horning Empire study and prepare for the future of the peaceful era.

The war ruins have been built into a peace memorial park, where the people of the empire commemorate history and look forward to peace.

【The war wounds of the past have been healed, and people are rebuilding their homes with hard work and hope.】

【This land that was once baptized by war is now bursting with vitality, and everything reveals a thriving scene.】

【This is the Horning Empire, your long-awaited hometown. It has become something you don't recognize.】

【Remaining lifespan: 4 days, 09 hours, 24 minutes】

【Your terrible life state has made you a bit weaker.】

The simulation results of the Mirror of Tiberius occasionally appeared in Lan Qi's perspective.

"Why hasn't Lanclos returned to his hometown for so long after the war?"

Talia couldn't help asking.

She speculated that Lanclos might not have returned to Horning for three years after winning the war.

"He's probably very scared."

This hometown has long become an obsession for Lanclos. After decades, it is so strange that he doesn't dare to get close to it, and it is so familiar that he doesn't dare to get close to it.

"Oh..."

Talia responded with a vague understanding.

She unexpectedly understood this feeling a little bit.

Although her situation was completely different from Lanclos, she also vaguely resisted returning to the old land of the Demon Realm, which would remind her of many things in the past.

【Looking at the little time you have left, you understand that this is your last chance.】

【The homeland you have been escaping from is now standing here. If you don't fulfill your last wish, you will never be able to see the appearance of your hometown, Brunswick Town, again.】

【How can you bear to part with the origin of your life.】

【This is both your original intention and your dream.】

【You decided to go to the Horning Empire alone. Due to the unsuitability of the identity of Lanclos Saint Anastasius, the Pope of the Holy Porte Church, you disguised yourself as a young merchant named "Randall" and sneaked into the territory of the Horning Empire, which is now divided into the Southern Continent, without anyone noticing.】

【There is still a long way to go.】

【Before going to your hometown, you passed by a place.】

The sky changed again.

Lan Qi seemed to have traveled silently in the Horning Empire for a long time. It was just morning, and now it was dusk.

Then his vision stopped.

He only saw himself wearing a casual vest, standing on the giant square of the Chamber of Commerce.

In the sky with sparse clouds, a flock of birds was flying in the distance.

Gorgeous merchants and energetic residents were constantly shuttling back and forth. All around were magnificent buildings, including simple statues, decorated with legendary gods.

The winter breeze, away from the dense crowd, gently brushed across his cheeks. The noise of children playing, the performance of musicians, the laughter and singing of who knows who, could all be conveyed here.

"Is this the Horning Empire now?"

Lan Qi gently raised his hand, holding the sunset and the petals flying in the wind.

Give the flowers a little time, and they will dress the next spring into ten thousand purple and red butterflies.

Give the trees and grass a little time, and they will turn the desert into a green field.

Lan Qi chanted the peaceful and tranquil street scene of the Horning Empire in winter, which sprinkled on him, as if he had forgotten the past sorrows.

"So even if Lanclos is still unwilling, after more than three years, he has completely understood that the war is over and it's time to let go."

Talia sighed.

If the future in the Mirror of Tiberius is this scene, she can rest assured for the time being.

She can feel that Lanclos's mood is gradually calming down.

Lan Qi will not understand some very dangerous things.

Recognize that things are impermanent, and there will always be helplessness.

Lanclos's pain is all born from love, but love is such a magical thing.

The more you want to grasp it, the more it will make people fall into it, and the more you know how to let it go, the more it will gradually overflow.

Learn to let go and unload the burden, and Lanclos's heart will also tend to be complete.

【Seeing this scene, you stood blankly in the square for a long time.】

【When the sun sets.】

【You can slowly disappear into the crowd, you can let the crying memories pass, you can believe that you are all right, you can welcome the next stage of life, and it is also your last days.】

The scene in Lan Qi's eyes changed again.

Just like dreaming.

After a while, it became another new scene.

He continued to go south and soon came to a mountainous area.

On the night after the complete sunset, he arrived at Hansaberg, a north-central province of the Horning Empire.

Looking around, all around were towering peaks, and towering cliffs went straight into the clouds.

Clouds and smoke lingered in the valley, and the mountain wind howled. A deep gray castle stood巍然on the highest mountain.

"Originally, this place was a kingdom called Hansaberg, bordering the Horning Empire. After the Horning Empire fully invaded the north more than 20 years ago, Hansaberg also became one of the territories of the Horning Empire, and there was also the Hansaberg province."

Lan Qi told Talia about the geography of this era tens of thousands of years ago.

I remember that during the Saint Hall Villain banquet of the second Shadow World, the Chamber of Commerce young master, who was a geographer, told them about the geographical knowledge around Lichtenstein Castle.

At that time, the Horning Empire had not fully expanded and occupied the entire southern

mainland territory.

The current timeline is already 28 years later, and everything has changed.

"So, the castle on the cliff we see now is Lichtenstein Castle, which was originally on the northern border of the Horning Empire during the unexpanded period?"

The more Talia looked at it, the more familiar she felt with the surrounding terrain.

It was very similar to the scenery she saw in Lan Qi's recording of the second Shadow World.

"That's right, it should be Lichtenstein Castle. For me, all the memories in that Shadow World castle are beautiful, but for Lanclos in the original history, that castle is the most unforgettable past. Before he dies, he wants to take another look, which is understandable."

As a guest who had personally experienced five days and five nights in Lichtenstein Castle, Lan Qi was extremely familiar with this building.

That Horning Empire-style ancient castle, with its high stone walls and pointed battlements, every city wall and tower has stood firm through hundreds of years of wind and rain, and the moonlight shines on the castle's gray stone walls, and the mottled traces of the stones still cannot erase the vigorous texture.

In front of the double doors, the shadows of the moon surged freely between the window lattices, passing through the colorful glass and setting off the outside of the building with light and darkness.

After arriving at this castle, he briefly walked around the castle and then returned to the outside of the castle.

Gradually move away.

Towards the cliff.

Even if his vision had not reached the edge, the cliff, nearly a thousand meters high and hundreds of meters wide, had already brought a strong visual shock.

He jumped off the cliff and came to a hidden stone staircase.

A tombstone stood here.

His vision became dim, as if he had closed his eyes.

In the darkness, there were only 魔族文字subtitles.

【You found the witch's grave and leaned against her tombstone. One blink of an eye was one night.】

【In the early morning, you found the seal of the werewolf descendant prince under the cliff was still intact. Seeing that he had lost his heart and was slowly recovering his life force, you were relieved. You strengthened the seal. Perhaps in another hundred years, he will wake up again, and the prosperous world you talked with him about has also been achieved for him.】

When his vision lit up again, it was already the next day.

【Remaining lifespan: 3 days, 13 hours, 33 minutes】

【Your life is coming to an end, and you have become weaker again.】

"Is this the original history line of the Saint Hall Villain banquet in the second Shadow World?"

Talia remembered a story recorded in the Shadow World awards of Lan Qi, Hyperion, and Frey.

If you put the stories together, it should be the ending of the Son of the Sun, Miss Witch, and the Werewolf King in Lichtenstein Castle for five days and five nights.

"It seems that the Mirror of Tiberius is also simulating the historical line in which Lanclos lived."

Lan Qi admitted and responded to Talia.

Since he has already read his identity as Lanclos, then of course it is Lanclos's story.

This can further confirm that the fourth Shadow World Undying Eternal Punishment Endgame is not much different from the real historical line—the Porte Empire did win, and the birth of the later Saint Porte Church and Lanclos's papacy were facts that existed in history.

"I see."

Talia said happily.

The Blood Moon Catastrophe, as of now, seems to be a satisfactory ending.

Although too many sacrifices were made.

But they succeeded.

The vision began to change again.

【You met old friends again and fulfilled another wish. Continuing south, you passed a border town dozens of kilometers away from Lichtenstein Castle in Hansaberg province.】

【Perhaps it was because this town was too much like your hometown, you couldn't help but go in and take a look.】

【As the saying goes, the mountain road is winding, the peaks turn, the heart follows the road, and the heart road is always wide.】

【At this moment, you are no longer the pope as strong as a god, but a young man enjoying the journey.】

On a sunny day, a brown-haired, blue-eyed traveling merchant embarked on the winding path leading to the mountain town.

Along the path, verdant trees gently swayed in the breeze, and the air was filled with the fragrance of grass and earth.

He admired the scenery along the way while thinking about the destination of this journey—Brunswick, a rural town surrounded by mountains in the southern heart of the Horning Empire.

And the town in front of him, not too far from Lichtenstein Castle, was located between staggered peaks.

The dark gray and pure white buildings reflected each other with the rolling terrain, blending into the mountains.

The warm morning light plated the town with a golden edge, setting off the azure sky and white clouds, like a beautiful picture scroll.
