Xue Dili threw a phone to Old Watson, telling him to keep an eye on his messages these days.

The main reason for leaving these homeless fantasy creatures behind was so that during Xue Dili's business trip, they could hold down the fort, preventing anyone from casually coming to Earth to cause trouble.

He also settled accounts with the Will of the World, suggesting that if there were issues, they could leave a message on the panel first, and if it wasn't a big problem, just let them handle it.

He refused the Silver Princess's invitation to stay for dinner, and for some reason, this twelve or thirteen-year-old girl seemed interested in him, a guy almost in his twenties.

At your age, you should be experiencing the hellish routine of middle school, from 5 am to 9 pm, with only half a day off in a month, not washing weeds in a pond all day like a country girl. At some point, Xue Dili should talk with Old Watson and the Knight Commander about sending her to a key middle school for proper schooling.

And after making all the necessary preparations, Xue Dili finally arrived in the Consciousness Space, standing before Austin, who was still crazily studying Light Magic.

This mystic scholar looked like a high school student after an all-night internet binge, bloodshot eyes, hair in a mess—it was clear how earnestly he was studying this hard-earned magic.

His enthusiasm even surpassed that of a high school teenager immersed in video games.

Xue Dili didn't bother with unnecessary words, directly materializing a screen from fantasy and extracting his memories from it.

The mystic scholar's ceremony, the advent of ancient beings, and finally, the scene where the American military clashed with the mystic scholars.

At this moment, the man named Austin was stunned. In his eyes, Xue Dili saw expressions of disbelief and incomprehension, as if hiding a lion.

"So, I'm actually just a fool who, after being used, naively summoned the Divine Era Ancient Tree and ended up dead?" This was Austin's self-assessment after reviewing it all.

Xue Dili thought he had a clear self-awareness.

He didn't rub salt into his wounds but instead said directly, "I now want to go to your world to see if I can deal with that ancient tree because I find it quite intriguing as well."

The old mystic scholar was taken aback. He genuinely hadn't expected that someone he saw as akin to a "god" would be interested in that peculiar plant in their world.

But even he could guess that after his death, the world wouldn't fare well; according to the intelligence revealed by that old predecessor, they were all just a part of another layer of the ceremony's plan.

These people thought that by summoning the Divine Era Ancient Tree, they could concurrently acquire divine power, not knowing they were just chess pieces in someone else's ritual setup.

Qijela could revive the dead, even bringing that originally elderly predecessor back to his youthful form; looking at it this way, everyone was a pawn in the predecessor's scheme, becoming a tool in his pursuit of immortality.

And Qijela's infection would definitely lead to an irreversible disaster worldwide.

"I understand, sir, what would you like me to do?" The old mystic scholar's eyes became extremely sharp, whether it was for revenge for his former self, or because he changed after learning real magic.

He began to turn in the direction Xue Dili wanted, rigorously holding himself to a mindset similar to "only good people can learn Holy Light," contemplating how to clean up the mess left by their group.

"Are there any more mystic scholars you know in your world?" Xue Dili asked his question.

Although he didn't think that parallel world would remain peaceful, he intended to make use of the old mystic scholar's network, needing them to accomplish a ceremony that would provide insurance for Xue Dili.

"And this person, I need you to bring him here." Xue Dili materialized a photo through fantasy manifestation; it showed him at 21, now a graduate student, appearing more mature and composed than his present 18-year-old self, with a slightly receded hairline due to studying medicine, and wearing thick glasses.

If Austin were observing Xue Dili normally, he would certainly recognize this medical student on the verge of stepping into the field of mysticism as identical to the mage Xue Dili in front of him.

However, beneath his lenses, he saw Xue Dili as a faceless monster.

"I understand, sir, I will try my best to find familiar mystic scholars to resolve this disaster, and most importantly, find this 'Xue'." He recalled the information on the medical student Xue Dili and began to speak seriously.

"That was a kid I met at an ancient ruin. He has great talent; as an ordinary person, he once encountered remnants of the 'Smoke Mirror' temple, the main god of America and extracted divine era scripts." The old mystic scholar seemed to continue recalling more details, suddenly adding,

"By the way, he also seems to wield a ritual from the Greek Era, but I haven't seen him use it, so I'd assume he also possesses mysticism heritage, likely originating from Ancient Greece."

"Ancient Greece?" Xue Dili's eyebrows furrowed.

Could his counterpart in that world be connected to Ancient Greece? It's impossible that the epic of the hero Xediles striking down Zeus with a stone is true, granting his parallel self some benefits, right?

For now, he jotted down this information, planning to give his parallel self a good thrashing once they meet.

Most importantly, he was discussing a detail regarding a mystical setup with Austin. If all went well, Xue Dili should be able to handle the ultra-ancient plants, but if something unexpected occurred, he believed that leveraging the mystical ceremonies of scholars might still achieve his goal.

...

The target time was set for after the year 2026, and the location was Boston University in America.

With this coordinate, the teleportation gate left by the Great Sage lit up, and Xue Dili stepped into the gate.

The concept of mysticism is highly abstract, and for those in between ordinary people and mages, the mystical ceremonies they usually perform largely belong to the extension of the concept of "reflection."

In other words, through specific ceremonies and setups, two entities within the ceremony are given corresponding "tags," and then, through these tags, they achieve their goals.

For example, the simplest reflection method, like on the morning of September 11, 2011, mystics could easily set up a ceremony reflecting the 9/11 event from ten years prior, causing any entity that could signify "twin" to become the target, and another flying entity to become the performer...

Under this mystical setup, even a small drone flying in the sky could successfully crash into another Twin Tower, a pair of twins, or any entity corresponding to "twin" around that time on the morning of September 11, 2011.

This is mysticism. Their technique principles are actually quite similar to Divine Art, both achieved through setups corresponding to ancient "miracles" or well-known events to activate the technique.

In fact, when Xue Dili activated the ceremony named "Saint's Passion" in the Giant Beast World, its principles were essentially identical to the reflection method of their mystical ceremonies.

Thus, even though mysticism for Xue Dili is considered a very low-level ceremony, it might still unleash unimaginable power when necessary.

However, plans couldn't keep up with changes. At the moment Xue Dili transmigrated to this world, a kind of distorted alteration occurred mysteriously.

When Xue Dili opened his eyes, he immediately felt the weight of the unfamiliar thick glasses on his nose, his head splitting with a headache as if his brain hadn't rested well for months, and countless memories pouring in from his mind.

He recalled countless events from his childhood, forest fires, the sea of flames in the sky, and the forest firefighter who rescued him from his home amidst the blaze...

These were all childhood memories, nothing seemed wrong with them, but afterward, he suddenly froze.

Because he, who had lost his guardian, suddenly acquired a distant "aunt." That aunt lived with him in Jiang City, and he no longer had to live with other relatives. Instead, he lived in Jiang City under the care of an aunt who was as elusive as a dragon.

She frequently went out, busy with unknown tasks, sometimes for months or even half a year. When she came back, she might leave again in a few days. In this second set of memories, he grew up in this semi-neglectful state.

Meanwhile, it seemed like this world's him was even more of a genius, skipping a grade in middle school, skipping another in high school, and successfully entering Ke University at the age of 16, then three and a half years later securing a spot at Boston University to become a disaster medicine graduate student.

Complex memories surged into his mind. This experience, similar yet paradoxical to his own, filled Xue Dili with an indescribable sense of absurdity and unreality.

It seemed that many memories hadn't yet recovered. For instance, he couldn't quite remember the appearance of the "aunt," even though she seemed to be busy around the world and rarely at home. After living together for more than ten years, Xue Dili couldn't possibly forget what she looked like.

Many memories from university and graduate school were also blurry. It seemed the brain received too much memory at once, temporarily not unlocking the knowledge-related memories due to protective mechanisms.

Xue Dili took off his glasses and found that the reflection showed himself at 18, with no differences, even wearing the same autumn casual clothes he had on.

The only problem was that he was now in a medical laboratory, with a continuous influx of medical and emergency knowledge, along with research memories and data pouring in, leaving him in a rather poor state.

"Did I fall into some kind of technique?" Xue Dili pondered.

He picked up a student ID card and suddenly froze.

"Boston University, Xue Dili, Doctor..." he read his identity information quietly and then suddenly froze.
