My Weekly Refreshing Mentor Spirit-Chapter 278 - 262: Journey to the Divine Teaching Country
The two chatted with intermittent replies, occasionally revealing the vastly different societal structures and cultural frameworks of their respective civilizations.
Then they both started ridiculing how bizarre the other's social system was, like the young officer couldn't imagine why Earth would have the terrifying Hellish imagery of men being together.
Xue Dili also couldn't imagine what kind of scene it would be to go home and have to provide for a dozen wives.
In short, while they ridiculed how peculiar the other's civilization was, they continued analyzing intelligence from that world.
After Xue Dili sorted out the intelligence, placed it in the Consciousness Space, and revealed all the information from that world, the young officer dropped his previous cheerful demeanor and snorted angrily.
"What kind of ghostly world is this, where just having kids can earn endless bread, and the kids are sent off to become feeding stuff. Are they humans or beasts?" The young officer was even more reactive than Xue Dili was when he first heard this news.
Xue Dili reconfirmed that this was just a kid, at least his youthful impatience and indignation, wanting to change everything he couldn't stand, was more youthful than even Xue Dili's.
Young man dressed in finery, riding with vigor.
Though he's a little boy with 98 children and 91 wives, when Xue Dili learned that his eldest daughter was almost six and starting to find a partner, he was stunned.
Oh my, really oh my.
What a bizarre civilization!
The young officer also looked at Xue Dili, muttering to himself, "So big and not even married, not even one wife for such a good-looking person, what a peculiar civilization! In my world, this guy would probably have hundreds of wives before adulthood and it would be normal."
After their ridiculing session, they continued with the intelligence exchange.
Then Xue Dili presented his plan.
"Those Heart Stealers have already manipulated the World Consciousness; if we're exposed over there, it's over." Xue Dili reminded the kid, this mission was really stressful for him.
It wouldn't matter if something happened to him, but this kid was the backbone of a big family. If something happened to him, Xue Dili couldn't imagine what would become of his 91 wives and 98 children.
During this brief exchange and ridicule, they also revealed each other's abilities.
The young officer mastered a very rare Space Magic, unlike a typical Teleportation Gate that requires a long setup and risks of spatial slicing if interrupted, he could jump through space at will.
In simple terms, a Flying Thunder God without cooldown and without needing a teleport medium, he could teleport wherever he wanted, with a very short prep time, achieving Space Jump in as little as 3 milliseconds under extreme conditions.
Even when Xue Dili compared their ability strengths, he was very strong, though just barely Mythic Level, this ability could instantly turn him into a mob clearing machine, and his survival and other functions were not something Xue Dili needed to worry about.
The young officer kept telling Xue Dili to only take care of himself, saying there was nothing in the Universe that could kill him.
Xue Dili: "..."
Come on, buddy, saying things like this before departure is really unlucky.
The plan they were originally discussing got sidetracked again.
"Ahem, let's use the same method, infiltrate through 'Possession'." Xue Dili said, while calling out Angel Rachael, who at the time had turned into something akin to a Revenge Angel with a skeletal appearance,
"She was once the Guardian of that world. Through her identity, I can use a Modifier to seamlessly integrate our identities into the world, but... you need to get rid of that particularly developed scent on you!" Xue Dili pointed at him.
The young officer: "..."
This is actually easier to handle; the Cursed Blood can temporarily cut off the secretion of the corresponding glands, and once the mission is over, Xue Dili can use Cursed Blood to restore it, or he could just head back to the Interstellar Corps for a simple surgery, which should be completed quickly.
"Infiltration, then I'll take the chance to quietly pry the world's authority. I have a ceremony called 'Innovation Era' here; I'll set it up, and once the time is right, you can go contact that world's Demon Beasts and promise some benefits, can you do that?" Xue Dili said.
Sending him to the Demon Beasts was also a hope that this kid wouldn't end up looking for another wife before finishing the mission, letting emotions cloud his judgment and decisions.
Xue Dili's Innovation Era ceremony was indiscriminate.
"To the Demon Beasts, huh? Don't worry, I can do that, and I can always leave the planet whenever, not to worry about my safety. For me, something that could kill me..."
"Stop, stop, I'm begging you now, don't jinx it anymore, I can't take it." Xue Dili immediately interrupted, silencing the young officer. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂
"There's one more important thing, which is not to expose your true identity, though I've done disguises and replacements, they are not foolproof. Be cautious, and once I've secured my position, you head into the Great Demon Beast Forest." Xue Dili said.
The Demon Beasts of that world were all mindless, uncivilized beasts, but among the top Demon Beasts, there was at least a little intelligence, after maxing out Strength and Agility Magic, one eventually has to add a bit of Intelligence.
Xue Dili was at ease, knowing that no one would be interested in a lizard anyway.
"Don't worry, I've dealt with these kinds of creatures many times, once I was a Hero in an Otherworld, and while eliminating the Demon King, I took the Demon King's five daughters and four wives..."
"Wait, hold up, don't pollute my ears!" Xue Dili immediately stopped him from recounting past bizarre tales.
In short, cultural and civilizational differences made them hit it off, yet in certain aspects, they couldn't align at all.
Finally, the two reached an agreement.
Xue Dili, whose ability is reality modification, possesses Light Magic with immense destructive power and the aid of Cursed Blood in its normal state, integrating offense and defense, with a special move of using a 7-second Time Stop.
The Lieutenant, capable of Space Jump, can freely traverse space with superhuman reflex abilities, with a special move causing large-scale Spatial Chaos.
The Revenge Angel arrived at the fixed Teleportation Gate set up by the Great Sage. After she dripped her blood into the gate, in the next moment, the gate opened, the chaotic and twisted scene inside made the two resolute.
"Let's go together."
The two simultaneously turned sideways and stepped forward. Even though they ridiculed each other's peculiarities when discussing their cultures, their unprompted tacit understanding was impeccable when facing the same enemy.
After making ample preparations, they stepped into the world that had already completely fallen.
...
Divine Teaching Country, outside the Divine Capital.
Two students from the Teaching Country rushed back to school from outside, having just returned from the Demon Beast Forest where they hunted Demon Beasts, tested their Magic, and honed their abilities, now ready to return to school.
Suddenly, in front of their beast-powered vehicle, similar to a carriage, a Teleportation Gate appeared in a flash, the coachman was stunned, and drove over it as if running over an invisible speed bump.
"The world!"
Time stops at this moment, Xue Dili felt lucky, having just arrived and already found the target, then saw the students inside the carriage seemingly unaware during the Time Stop.
He immediately used the Modifier at the fastest speed to replace the identities of himself and the Lieutenant, then tied them up tightly and cast a Sleeping Curse.
Relax, dizziness is normal.
After throwing them into the Consciousness Space, two seconds passed, and at this time Xue Dili sat on the carriage with the Lieutenant.
In the next moment, time resumed its flow.
The carriage suddenly jolted, the coachman quickly reacted and stopped the horse.
He briefly thought he saw something, and as if he had run something over, but why was there no sensation?
Forget it, who cares, if it's dead, it's dead, I'll tell my employer.
"Sorry, guests, two animals appeared on the road just now, my apologies." He completely opened the curtain and saw Xue Dili and the Lieutenant inside, suddenly taken aback.
Something seemed off, the sitting posture of these two Mages was not this imposing before.
But in the very short time, the modification of world perception erased this inconsistency, even addressing the strange feeling acquaintances might have seeing the two.
This was the substitution Xue Dili completed through the Angel's authority and the Modifier, effectively attaching the two students' identities to themselves, sneaking into the city.
"Hmm, it's fine, isn't the road still very open? Keep driving," said Xue Dili.
"Alright, alright..."
The coachman no longer doubted; the modification of world cognition completely made him forget about the two unfortunate junior mages, entirely replacing them with the current Xue Dili and the Lieutenant.
He couldn't help but mutter, didn't expect the two Mages' sitting posture to be so strong and powerful, able to tell they were terrifyingly strong just from it.
The carriage continued forward; the time was tense for the two, with the Lieutenant always ready to Space Jump away with Xue Dili.
Though the two believed that with the Revenge Angel's administrator backdoor, paired with Xue Dili's Modifier, they could achieve a perfect reality modification, but since their enemy controlled the world authority entirely, caution was warranted.
However, there was no reaction, no spatial blockade, no prying from the world authority, nor any abnormalities.
The two breathed a small sigh of relief, Xue Dili gesturing an OK sign.
In reality, the two being transported normally would be caught by the world authority, but the Angel's administrator status bypassed this firewall.
Returning to the Divine Capital, they handed the coins to the coachman. Gazing at the seemingly grand but in reality desolate Divine Capital, they both found it unusual.
Even the most prosperous Divine Capital of the Teaching Country had half its houses empty, incredibly bleak, so what about elsewhere?
And not far from the gate of the Divine Capital Magic Academy, as the two passed by, they saw a young lady kneeling on the ground, beside her, a wooden board with writing in the language of this world.
"Selling personal ten-year fertility as a female student at the Magic Academy, will deliver over 8 children in ten years, price about 200 Gold Coins, specifics can be discussed."
The Lieutenant: "..."
Xue Dili: "..."
