Chapter 410: Return, and a Conversation with the Academy Head

After sensing the suddenly appeared positioning guide using the Reverse Summoning Spell, the biggest stone in my heart finally fell.

It was the feeling of finding "home."

It was strange.

Before leaving the main world, I had adamantly stated that I no longer had a sense of belonging to this world, that my deepest sense of belonging was to my past life.

But as time went on, my memories of my past life slowly faded.

And in the current world, I had already severed the Earth Vein Chains, completely detaching myself from it.

This feeling was really complicated.

Perhaps that wasn't home, or perhaps it was simply that there, I could wait for the person I wanted to see?

As these thoughts swirled in my mind, the ritual beneath my feet had already begun to operate.

The spell was successfully cast, and a force enveloped my entire body.

I once again felt the oppressive sensation of crossing between worlds.

However, my not-so-weak physical constitution allowed me to barely withstand it.

At this moment, Qiu Ruxin watched this scene.

Big Sis Xiao Han, wrapped in white light, disappeared before her eyes at this moment.

Suddenly, she felt an emptiness in her heart.

A trace of loneliness flashed across her face, and one hand subconsciously tightened its grip on the pendant around her neck.

She was very clear about her current position.

Precisely because of this, she needed to avoid accidents as much as possible.

She even knew very well that those who called themselves the Truth Protection Association were also untrustworthy, because they were also Secret Diggers.

Those guys were only constrained by Big Sis Xiao Han's strength.

And at this moment, as I crossed the void and returned again, I felt an unprecedented pressure, resisting the strange feeling of being summoned.

After all, when I came, I had the Academy Head's shield to offset the pressure.

Now that it was gone, I could only rely on myself, until I reached the other side of the summoning formation.

"I'm out..."

At this moment, I felt an unprecedented sense of relaxation as my figure slowly emerged from the summoning ritual.

After opening my eyes, I was stunned by the scene before me, because the scene before me was very familiar.

Wasn't this the Academy Head's office?

The last time I came here was when Teacher Ji Niang brought me.

"It seems you weren't injured."

"Yes, I broke that shield myself."

I turned to the sound and happened to see the Academy Head staring straight at me.

Seeing this familiar Academy Head again, I didn't know what expression to face her with.

Questioning?

Or playing dumb?

Neither seemed appropriate.

After all, we were both adults, and there was no need to be so secretive and beat around the bush when speaking.

In the end, I chose the most plain way of speaking.

I knew what I knew, and questioning her again would be useless.

Besides, I couldn't beat the Academy Head, so I had no choice, did I?

"True, I also think a small world shouldn't have any existence that could seriously injure you."

The Academy Head's gaze subconsciously swept over my strange attire and the torn part, where my exposed side waist showed no injuries.

"How was it? Was that world fun?"

"Not very fun... Academy Head, is that world the small world you told me about before that is about to merge with the main world?"

I shook my head and asked, taking the opportunity to raise my current question.

"If there are no accidents, yes."

The Academy Head nodded and said, "Did you see any Abyssal Demons in there? If you did, then that world is the small world I was talking about."

Mei Linde knew very well that the "void region" where the main world was located was special, so if there were no accidents, there would be no mistake about where Little Han went.

"Oh, then there should be no mistake. That world was indeed invaded by Abyssal Demons, but unfortunately, I didn't see it with my own eyes."

After getting the Academy Head's answer, I also had a general idea.

Although I didn't quite understand why the Academy Head said that as long as there were Abyssal Demons inside, it meant that I had gone to that small world, it was like Qiu Ruxin not knowing why my being able to return meant that their world would collide with the world I was in.

The Academy Head must know something I didn't, and thus deduced such a result.

At this time, the Academy Head didn't just stand there, but led me to find a place to sit down in her office.

"Is that so? What a pity. But from what you're saying, it seems those Abyssal Demons encountered considerable resistance in that world?"

"Probably..."

I didn't know much about this.

I only had a slight understanding of that period of war history, which Qiu Ruxin told me.

Those Abyssal Demons were jointly fought by the people of this world and the Secret Diggers.

Apart from what I heard from Qiu Ruxin, I had also searched for related materials myself.

But it was obvious that various countries had intentionally concealed the contributions of the Secret Diggers.

As for the demons not continuing their invasion, they only mentioned that the monsters were repelled with the help of the Secret Diggers.

So, the strength of the Secret Diggers at that time should not be underestimated.

Especially those firearms and weapons, every Secret Digger was a mobile armory!

Perhaps during a large-scale war, they threw tactical nuclear bombs around like grenades?

So, the Secret Diggers I encountered before might not have represented the overall strength of the Secret Diggers to a large extent.

"So... would you mind telling me your story there? Or your experiences, history, and so on."

"Of course, no problem. But... before that, I also have a question I'd like to ask, is that okay?"

I readily agreed to the Academy Head's request.

After all, even if the Academy Head didn't say it, I would have found a chance to talk about it.

Those Secret Diggers were too strange, and I naturally needed the Academy Head's help to assess the situation.

But... now that the Academy Head had brought it up first, I naturally wouldn't be polite with her.

"It's fine, go ahead and ask."

The Academy Head said it didn't matter.

After all, this matter was part of her plan.

Since it was seen through, she was essentially in the wrong.

But who let the Academy Head be thick-skinned?

This was just a special "care" that the Academy Head gave to the student she valued.

"Academy Head, from Teacher Ji Niang's [Transcendent Knowledge] to that rune, then to destiny, and finally to this Reverse Summoning Spell, and many other things, such as the consciousness communication spell and this protective spell, were all of these planned by you from the start?"

I looked up at the Academy Head expectantly, as if waiting for her to give an answer.

If all of this was the Academy Head's arrangement or plan, then it meant that my understanding of Transcendent Witches was still too shallow.

"So you were curious about this? Little Han, you're overthinking things a bit. Do you think all of this was secretly planned by me?"

"Isn't it?"

"Alright, alright, you've deified me too much. Even if I'm a Transcendent Witch, I'm not omnipotent. I happen to have some time, how about I briefly sort it out for you? Do you want to hear it?"

"Yes! I want to hear it."

I nodded and said.

Since the Academy Head said so, I naturally wanted to understand the process.

But since the Academy Head said not to think too highly of her, it meant that "luck" and "coincidence" also played a large part in this.

"First is the [Transcendent Knowledge] from Xi Lan that you were curious about. I do know the general direction of that [Transcendent Knowledge]. I don't deny that her obtaining that [Transcendent Knowledge] was related to me. Or rather, it was because of my involvement that I invited Xi Lan to the main world. When she first came to the main world, she didn't have the foundation and confidence to research [Transcendent Knowledge], so the research was temporarily put on hold. During that time, she worked as an assistant in other research groups or laboratories for [Transcendent Knowledge] to gain experience, and she also had the need for part-time teaching at the academy. At that time, she was not a full-time teacher, but a counselor."

"Speaking of which, this is also related to you. She found out about a special Innate Spirit Visionary like you from the information intercepted from the Imp Academy. At that time, she already had ideas about you. After recruiting you through a special channel, she took the initiative to become your counselor. She is also the most special counselor this year, only taking one class."

"I've digressed a bit. Let's talk about that rune. At that time, you imprinted the rune from that [Transcendent Knowledge] and came to see me right after, mainly because I had a whim that day and used occult divination to discover a good possibility, so I came over."

"Also, I knew very well that Xi Lan's [Transcendent Knowledge] was most likely related to space. It just so happened to coincide with the matter of that small world, so I connected these pieces of information and came over to see what the surprise was."

"Oh, Xi Lan being able to suddenly open a separate laboratory there to research [Transcendent Knowledge] was also with my approval. Otherwise, she wouldn't even be able to get her application for a small laboratory there approved. Then... I saw that Xi Lan had indeed brought you to her laboratory."

"Alright..."

I sighed helplessly.

Hearing the Academy Head's tone, it felt a bit like Teacher Ji Niang was helplessly employing child labor.

But... wasn't what Teacher Ji Niang did almost as outrageous?

Which witch scholar there could have imagined that there would be such an oddball like Teacher Ji Niang, bringing the newcomer she was mentoring here to help her research [Transcendent Knowledge]?

This kind of thing sounded like a fantasy just by hearing it, but Teacher Ji Niang did it.

"Then it was you who directly imprinted a nearly self-contained rune through Spirit Vision, triggering that wisp of destiny resonance. To be honest, I don't know where that wisp of destiny came from. Maybe it was some information you were contaminated with during your trip to Ninglan New City. After all, you were the only non-transcendent who descended in the flesh among that batch of students, and you were also a ruthless person who severed the Earth Vein Chains. In short, there were many conditions and many coincidences... but the final result was that you met the requirements."

"Is it really just a coincidence?"

"What? Do you have a persecution complex?"

The Academy Head looked at me with a smile and asked.

"A little... I'm scared of being tricked by the script, destiny, and whatnot..."

"Haha, that's true. I can also feel that since things like the script and destiny were exposed, many people in the academy have become restless and conflicted. Generally speaking, there are pros and cons. You don't need to worry about anything. At least for your current stage, the Witch Academy is your most solid backing."

"Then... what happened next should be more or less your arrangement, right? And you even specifically gave me the consciousness communication spell and so on..."

"It can be considered so, I guess. Let's just treat it as a trial for you?"

Actually, at that time, she gave the consciousness communication spell to make it convenient for Little Han to communicate with that girl, but she didn't say it.

Besides, she didn't expect that this Reverse Summoning Spellbook could actually use the thread of destiny as a void beacon to summon Little Han in reverse.

Sure enough, that rune should have some characteristics that she hadn't had time to understand.

Fortunately, she had left a summoning rune for the Reverse Summoning Spell at that time.

She was originally thinking that next time she had something to do, she could just bring Little Han over directly, instead of her having to go find Little Han herself, which was so troublesome.

Coincidence is so wonderful, isn't it?

Even as the Academy Head, Mei Linde couldn't help but sigh like this.

"A trial..."

"Yes, it's a rare experience, isn't it? By the way, Little Han, you came back in such a hurry. Did you leave a way to go back again?"

"A way back? Of course, I did."

I nodded and said.

"It seems you did a good job."

The Academy Head said with a smile.

"Academy Head, shouldn't you have told me about this beforehand? What if I hadn't thought of this, then wouldn't it be..."

"Wouldn't what? Completely lose contact with that world? How could that be? In a while, the Transcendent Witches from the void exploration team should be arriving at that world soon. If you forgot, it would just mean waiting a little longer. I told you about this before, right? The matter of the advance team entering the void. That was led by another Academy Head from the Witch Academy. I heard that a few more went over midway. I'm not sure exactly how many, but the Witch Academy currently only has me, one Academy Head, left to guard the house. Sigh, I'm used to it anyway."

"Oh... is that so."

I replied awkwardly.

I thought my responsibility was very heavy just now, but it turned out to be just a coincidence.

"That's right. For such a big matter, how could the academy put the pressure on a student like you?"

After saying this, the Academy Head changed the subject and directly shifted the topic to the information about that world.

"Now, you should be able to tell me about the information regarding that world, right? I'm very curious about that world. Unfortunately, I can't go there myself."

"Alright... I guess."

I nodded, the doubts in my heart more or less resolved.

"Then... I'll tell you slowly. Although I didn't stay in that world for many days, I did encounter quite a few things."

"It's fine, I can listen to it as a story. But you shouldn't mind if I ask a few questions about things I'm curious or doubtful about while you're talking, right?"

At this moment, the Academy Head was like a listener, sitting leisurely.

With a wave of her hand, some desserts and black tea appeared by her side.

"Would you like some?"

She didn't expect me to have gathered very comprehensive information about that world in these few days.

She only needed me to recount the things I encountered, and she could analyze many things herself.

"Of course, I don't mind, and thank you."

I took the desserts.

Although she was asking, she had already handed them over before I could answer.

Then, I organized my thoughts and began to recount from the beginning.

"First, the first person I met when I was summoned over was the girl I had met before in my meditation and dream state..."

"Is the dominant species in that world also human?"

At this moment, the Academy Head suddenly asked.

"Uh... yes, no other races have been found to have developed civilizations in that world so far."

I explained.

But hearing the Academy Head say this, I also became a little curious.

That was another world, yet it had humans.

But when I thought about what the Academy Head had told me before about the difference between world wills, stating that "will" also included the birth of life and the evolution of civilization, and so on.

Thinking of it this way, the life nurtured in a world born from the earth veins would also be greatly influenced by the information and data of the earth veins, thus leading to a convergence in the evolution of biological races.

"Continue. And then? Was that girl the Child of Destiny as you guessed?"

"Yes, she is indeed a Child of Destiny. But what's a bit strange is that her Seed of Destiny is on the verge of collapse, and she doesn't have much destiny. I always feel that the Children of Destiny I meet are always plagued with disasters."

And they also didn't have the domineering aura of the Children of Destiny in novels.

Compared to them being Children of Destiny, they were more like ordinary people with a Seed of Destiny.

But I didn't say these things out loud.
