Chapter 179 Master-Disciple Reversal and Reverse the Heavens (Two-in-one)
A clear and brilliant radiance illuminated the pitch-black void, and also illuminated the eyes of the Golden Elf.
Simply providing light, in fact, even on the Lost Island, there were many ways to achieve this…
Special fluorescent ore, or bonfires lit with specially made ancient tree firewood, or holy relics corresponding to authority, or even the Moon Elves within the High Elf race, who inherently possessed the bloodline power to summon moonlight.
But—
At this moment, everything happening before Heiser was completely different from before.
It was not a blessing from the gods, nor was it from bloodline and divinity.
Instead, it was the source-less energy from the depths of the Astral Realm—
Re-arranged and combined in a new way that the Golden Elf had never heard of or seen before.
“You are…”
Heiser turned her body slightly, looking at the youth sitting on the pitch-black mech behind her.
The radiance from the tip of the magic staff sprinkled on his side profile, his features soft yet distinct.
What attracted the Golden Elf’s attention the most was his ears, which were completely opposite to the pointed ears of the elves.
In Heiser’s memory, there was only one race that matched this characteristic—
“Human?”
The Golden Elf spoke softly, uttering a somewhat unfamiliar term.
She had grown up in the Elf Royal Court since childhood. Heiser was very young when the Great Calamity broke out, and she never had the chance to venture out for training.
Later, when the Great Calamity erupted, the entire royal court was severed and fell to the mortal world.
Thus, under the veil of eternal night, this Lost Island became her only haven.
Because of this, even with nearly a thousand years of experience, the Golden Elf had only heard of the existence of humans in inherited texts and picture books before.
At this moment, it was also her first time seeing a living human.
“Why are humans appearing here?”
“And why can you use this source-less power in the Astral Realm?”
A ripple of ripples appeared in the Golden Elf’s light golden eyes, but soon returned to calm.
Ancient mysterious ripples rippled around her, completely repairing her injuries and her tattered robe.
Then, Heiser stood in the void, looking at the youth before her with some caution, and spoke calmly.
She was not a delicate maiden without the strength to tie a chicken, ignorant of worldly affairs, but a genuine Legend and the ninth seat of the Council Hall.
Although her state of mind had fluctuated due to the dramatic changes, Heiser had quickly adjusted her state using the holy relic she carried with her when facing this mysterious human.
No matter what, his appearance at this moment was too strange, and she could not afford to be careless.
According to ancient records, the human race could hardly break through to Legend, but the feeling the other party gave Heiser was far beyond what a Legend could compare to.
“Source-less power in the Astral Realm?”
The other party thought for a moment, waved his magic staff, and used magic to cancel the previous flashing trick: “You mean magic?”
“Speaking of which, I didn’t feel the existence of magic in the Prime Material Plane before. I only noticed it after entering the Astral Realm… So magic originally originated from the depths of the Astral Realm in the First Era.”
“Since it is source-less energy, there is nothing strange about discovering and mastering the technique to use it.”
“By the way, according to the rules and principles of the planes, constructing magic into a model that can operate and exert practical effects—”
“This process is the exploration of so-called ‘Arcana’.”
“Ultimately—”
“Distort reality, reshape nature.”
“Achieve, the miracle called ‘Magic’.”
Arcana.
And, Magic.
Listening to the youth’s narration, Heiser only felt that a new door was slowly opening a part of itself to her.
And behind the door called Arcana, even if she could only glimpse an iota through the crack, such a magnificent wonder had captured all her attention.
But soon, Heiser shook her head and suppressed the excitement in her heart.
“Can you tell me?”
“Why is a pure human appearing here?”
She looked at the black-haired youth leaning on the mech and said softly.
If Heiser were still the carefree child in the Elf Royal Court, she could naturally pursue the magnificent wonders described by the other party freely.
However, what she needed to bear now was no longer just her own fate.
And the weight of the destinies of the former members of the Council Hall over the past nine hundred years, and the entire Golden Elf race.
She had to be cautious, and could not help but be cautious.
“Why am I here?”
The other party tapped the metal shell of the mech beneath him with the back of his finger, looking troubled, and then answered after thinking for a moment.
“Like… just happened to pass by?”
However, facing the youth’s answer, Heiser merely shook her head slightly.
“No, you are lying.”
“The spiritual intuition of the Golden Elves is the most outstanding among the Golden Race and the Silver Race. This is the answer my spiritual intuition gives me.”
“Our encounter is not just a simple coincidence.”
…
Tsk—
Do High Elves even have such a rascal race talent?
Shaya couldn’t help but be slightly stunned.
Anything involving spirituality, the Spirit World, and so on, was so unreasonable.
Wait.
Even though he was only a Legend now, if he didn’t guard against and actively conceal his spirituality, his Master Jiang could see through his lie.
Then, during the days when Professor taught him in the City of Knowledge Lokiia…
Shaya suddenly recalled years ago, when he lied and said he had seriously reviewed his homework at night, but actually lay on Little Ai’s lap all night—
The meaningful look his Master Jiang gave him.
Did he realize that he had already “died” so many times in secret when he was a child?
He coughed lightly, threw the complicated thoughts to the back of his mind, and looked earnestly at the Golden Elf maiden before him.
Moreover, he didn’t expect that even the Master Jiang of the First Era was so vigilant.
Compared to Sylvia, who completed her initial favorability goal with just a roasted fish, the difficulty had increased by several times.
But this was normal.
After all, even Shaya didn’t expect that his Master Jiang, even in the First Era, was no longer a young and tender girl, but a blonde old lady… a blonde wife.
“Okay, it’s true that it wasn’t a coincidence.”
“I just felt… if I said that I felt the inseparable fate between us—”
“So, I willingly came alone to the ruins of the Ancient Dragon’s Royal Court, crossing the entire endless sea, crossing the vast Astral Realm and myriad dimensional rifts to meet you… you wouldn’t believe it either, would you?”
Heiser’s light golden beautiful eyes widened slightly.
She really shouldn’t believe it.
After all, the other party’s reason was too ridiculous, no different from a fable.
There were indeed many bards among the elves who sang heroic epics, but Heiser had long passed the age of listening to fairy tales.
Naturally, she was acutely aware that the so-called destined fate in those fairy tales—
And the prince who rode a pure white Pegasus, always descending at the most critical moment to save the heroine from dire straits, were all tricks concocted by the authors of fairy tales to fool children.
But.
That spiritual intuition, originating from the Golden Elf, told her very clearly—
It was not deception, nor concealment that hid the source of spirituality.
The other party’s answer was the absolute truth.
He truly came here for that unidentifiable fate with her, crossing who knows how many subspaces and secondary planes to meet her.
“Since you can distinguish lies, it will be much easier to communicate many things.”
“I bear no ill will towards the elves in the Lost Island, nor towards you—on the contrary, I am a genuine believer in racial love.”
“Although I am a pure-blooded human, I still hold equal goodwill towards other races.”
“If possible, I don’t mind helping your clansmen on the Lost Island get out of their current predicament.”
Shaya said sincerely.
Still not a lie, but genuine truth.
“So, beautiful Golden Elf lady.”
“Would you like to try trusting me?”
His words paused slightly.
“Come with me, in this era when the magic net has not yet been woven, and everything has not yet sprouted—”
“Let’s open this new era called Magic together.”
“By the way, I haven’t had a chance to introduce myself yet.”
Shaya smiled.
Then, he extended his hand to the maiden before him.
“My name is Shaya, Shaya Egut.”
“I am a Beast Tamer, and also a Wizard.”
Beast Tamer…
Wizard…
Heiser silently recited these two terms she had never heard before in her heart.
And—
Shaya Egut.
Thinking so, the Golden Elf also gently extended her plain white hand and placed it in his.
That hand was not very strong, but it was quite slender with well-defined knuckles.
“Heiser.”
She said softly, “Heiser Zegold.”
…
“Master, what are you thinking about again?”
A phantom cabin drifted in the dimensional void.
This was the third form developed by Yui during this period—”Mobile Stronghold Type II”.
Of course, according to Shaya’s habit, he also gave this metal construct form refined by Yui a new name.
“Shaya’s Flying House”
It can only be said that he remained as bad at naming as ever.
“I’m thinking about a problem.”
“That is, whether the egg came first or the chicken came first in this world.”
Shaya lay on the recliner, looking at the phantom image of Yui in her ship-girl form, and peeled a pear for himself.
“Although all my Arcana and Wizard knowledge comes from my teacher’s teachings.”
“But now, in the historical echo of this First Era, I am teaching the early stage Master Jiang Arcana and Wizard knowledge, the technique of using mental power to gather magic, construct magic models, and complete magic casting…”
“It’s like an infinite nesting doll.”
He took a big bite of the pear in his hand and let out a sigh of satisfaction.
During this period, Shaya and Heiser had been staying in the flying house deep in the void, studying Arcana and Magic day and night.
It made Shaya both pained and happy.
The joy was that becoming the teacher of his early stage Master Jiang gave Shaya a sense of pleasure of reversing the heavens.
It was simply too delightful.
The pain was that Shaya found that his teacher was indeed the “Eternal Page” of the future Black Tower.
Even though she had just mastered magic at this moment, her progress speed could only be described as rapid.
In many fields, Shaya only needed to give a slight hint, and Heiser could quickly derive new ideas and perfect the most basic Arcana laws into practical magic models.
In just a few months, her learning progress had gone from the initial First and Second Ring spells “Fireball” and “Greater Fireball” to Sixth Ring spells such as “Disintegrate”, “Meteor Swarm”, and “Blizzard”.
Beyond that, the Seventh Ring magic was the so-called “Forbidden Spell”, which was enough to kill Legendary Experts.
Shaya did not know much about the Forbidden Spell level.
After all, his original intention for studying Arcana and Magic was not for combat, but to quickly understand the underlying rules and principles of this world by studying Arcana and strengthen his perception of the world.
His combat capability system was mainly built around the skills of his familiars, with spells and magic items serving more as auxiliary functions, such as using calculation spells to assist in calculating the trajectory when launching the Spear of Heavenly Punishment.
Shaya had also memorized many original texts of Forbidden Spells through his powerful mental power, but most of them were memorized for the reason of “I can not use it, but I must know it”, and he rarely used them in actual combat.
“Shaya.”
Crisp footsteps approached from afar.
The Golden Elf with long hair cascading over her shoulders came to Shaya’s side, holding the small Dragon of Darkness.
Perhaps because they were both victims of the Great Calamity, and also because they were a race that once belonged to one of the Three Great Royal Courts, among Shaya’s many familiars, Heiser had the best relationship with Night.
“I have completed my exclusive positioning spell model. I have named this spell ‘Heiser’s Dimensional Anchor’.”
The Golden Elf’s words were filled with joy.
Because the completion of this spell meant that even without Shaya’s help, she could freely travel between the dimensional void, the Astral Realm, and the Lost Island.
In other words.
She could return to the Lost Island.
And, she would bring this magnificent treasure called “Magic”, which could illuminate the path forward for the Elf race.
But soon, the joy in Heiser’s words faded.
She looked at the youth beside her and said with some anticipation.
“Shaya, can you come back to the Lost Island with me?”
