I nervously stood up.
“Don’t be so nervous, foolish Dad.” “But, but you said time…” “It means I’ll quickly return to my original point in time.” Eh?
Is that what it means?
Coming and being able to go back… Unimaginable.
“Foolish one, let me explain.” Lara gave an analogy.
The Time Magic I used in my previous life was like a bullet.
Firing the bullet.
Hitting the target, leaving a bullet hole.
As for the bullet, it was naturally destroyed.
Depending on what was used as a coordinate, if I had used an object as the landing point at that time, the result would have been death.
It’s possible I would have even left my body in an unknown place.
But I was very lucky at that time, choosing my own soul as the landing point.
Therefore, although my physical body and magic power all perished, my soul precisely hit the target.
So my Time Magic succeeded in a very clever way.
But Lara’s Time Magic was different.
In the distant future.
Lara and I worked together to complete Time Magic.
The completed Time Magic was more like a boomerang.
It doesn’t self-destruct upon hitting the target and then explode.
Instead, it passes through the target, using it as a midpoint, and then returns to its original position.
The biggest problem with this magic is the amount of magical power it consumes.
The consumption is terrifying.
When the magic was activated, Lara prepared a considerable amount of magic crystals as reserves.
No one expected them to be used up all at once.
However, this was also within Lara’s expectations.
She had a backup plan.
And the backup plan…
was me.
As a holder of the laplace factor and someone who had diligently trained his magical power since childhood, my total magical power was terrifyingly vast.
I would serve as Lara’s magical power transfer station, helping her replenish her magical power so she could return to the future smoothly.
“Ah…” Hearing this, I couldn’t help but interrupt.
“Excuse me, what happens if the magical power isn’t sufficiently replenished?” “You probably won’t be able to go back.” Can’t go back, huh…
That would be fine too, just staying here.
However, Lara seemed to see through my thoughts and gave me a side glance.
“Time Magic is a complete spell; once activated, it will proceed completely.
That is to say, the part of the spell that sends me back to the future will activate regardless of whether there is sufficient magical power.” “If magical power isn’t replenished during this process, I will use my own magical power and flesh to fill the void.” “If that’s still not enough…
I’ll probably die halfway.” “That’s how it is.” Lara spoke these chilling words in a nonchalant tone.
H-how terrifying…
Did my future self really cry and beg his daughter to do something like this?
“Alright, that’s enough small talk.
Next, let’s talk about you, Dad, defeating the God.” Lara tapped the floor with the arrogant water dragon king.
Then, she took out three boxes from her embrace.
It felt like Jack’s three brocade pouches.
“These three items will help you, Dad, defeat the God.” Lara said.
My eyes widened instantly.
Inside…
were treasures to defeat the God?!
“C-can I open them and look?” My voice trembled slightly.
“No.” “Huh?” “Because I want to maintain a certain sense of anticipation, I will open them.” “Ah, uh…” What a scoundrel of a daughter.
How could Roxy and I have such a scoundrel of a daughter?
Who does she take after?
As I was thinking this, Lara opened the first box.
Inside the box was not a hero’s sword to defeat the Demon Lord.
Instead, it was a plain-looking bracelet.
“This is?” “Please put it on, Dad.” “Oh…” Just by wearing this bracelet, I can defeat the God.
Does the future really have such terrifying items?
Thinking this, I obediently put the bracelet on my left hand.
Hmm…
It didn’t feel special, and no power surged forth.
I thought it was something like a transformation device.
Did my daughter trick me again?
“This is a magical item that can shield against the God’s prying eyes.” Lara’s tone became serious.
“The bracelet itself has nothing special about it, and no one knows its principle, but it can indeed shield against the God’s prying eyes.” “Ah…
so there’s something like this…” I was a bit surprised.
The God.
He can see everything.
Since transmigrating, I had always been cautious, avoiding attracting the God’s prying eyes.
But if I had this magical item…
“This was borrowed from Orsted.” Lara looked at me seriously.
“Because there’s no way to replicate it, please use it carefully, Dad.” “Yes, I will.” “Then, next is the second item.” Lara said, opening the second box.
There was still no hero’s sword inside.
Only a very thick book.
“This is…
a perfected Time Magic?” I guessed boldly.
“No, this is an unperfected Eternal Life Magic.” …
Eternal Life Magic.
In my previous life, I had already started researching this magic.
But according to my estimations, it would take at least a hundred years to perfect it.
There wasn’t enough time.
…
With trembling hands, I opened this so-called unperfected Eternal Life Magic.
Inside, written in extremely small script, were dense lines of text.
Dense.
Dense.
Considering portability, the font was intentionally miniaturized; otherwise, the amount of text would fill an entire bookshelf.
“Ah…” My eyes welled up.
The Eternal Life Magic that my previous self couldn’t complete.
I will continue to complete it in this life.
And then, at the end of my life, still unable to complete it.
I entrusted Lara to transfer this research result to me.
Without a doubt.
This is a relay race.
No.
This should be what they call…
The Golden Spirit, right?
Even when seeing fate, knowing death is near, one must still strive to resist.
Then, pass on the hope of victory to the next person.
This is the Golden Spirit.
Thank you.
Thank you all.
Besides this, I had nothing else to say.
“I will, properly, complete it…”
Maybe it’s not a big deal now… maybe it will be later.
“And If you’re enjoying it, drop a Power Stone for me!”
