Chapter 512 The Village of the Past Will Not Return

After a chaotic commotion, the old Demon Emperor was no longer able to favor his new concubine. Instead, he said with a look of utter despair, "Speak, what is it?"

Xue Dinglu briefly explained the matters of borrowing power and recruiting students. After a moment of stunned silence, the old demon emperor seemed to suddenly wake up.

"So, you're planning to open a school that not only teaches magic, but also provides some basic education, as well as a 'mirage trial' that allows students to experience history in real time?" When the old Demon Emperor's lizard-like face with a centipede-like mouth came closer, Xue Luding felt a chill.

"Could you add some historical scenes to the 'Illusion Trial' that your friends built? For example, seal all magic and spiritual energy, and then place it in Xuzhou, where Cao Cao is massacring cities, or in the Northern and Southern Dynasties and the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, or even in the Native American tribes of the Age of Exploration, so that future generations can really feel the weight of history."

Once the old demon emperor opened his mouth, Xue's law couldn't hold back anymore.

What does it mean to seal one's students' magical power and project it onto cities like Xuzhou, the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and Native American tribes?

Old man, can't you act like a human being?

These are all students, not your subordinates. Xue's Law is afraid that if things continue like this, a few geniuses will emerge from the next generation of novice students, spouting things like, "It's not me who's wrong, it's the world," "Feel pain, understand pain, enjoy pain," "This is hell," "The world is an illusion," and so on...

Xue Law already felt he was being incredibly inhuman, but he never expected there to be such a master?

"Because they have witnessed hell, people yearn for a better life," the old Demon Emperor continued, showing no remorse whatsoever.

Xue Law: "..."

He fears that some students, after experiencing hell, might want to create a world where the entire universe dreams, and then unleash their extraordinary wisdom...

They want to cultivate students who can "fight for a better tomorrow," not to raise a big boss.

Playing pranks is fine, but are you treating my student like an apostle?

Old man, you seem to be going a bit too far.

Xue's Law ultimately did not adopt this suggestion, but a similar trial could be conducted, which would involve referencing a historical period and allowing students to experience it firsthand.

If Xue Dinglu had the time, he could even create a few such dungeon worlds himself.

The old Demon Emperor's ideas were a bit outrageous, but he strongly supported Xue's school and repeatedly claimed that if he had a new son, he would definitely send him there.

Xue Dinglu also learned that after the old demon emperor completed his basic resurrection, he was preparing to have more children.

This has nothing to do with age or lust, but rather that as the ruler of an empire, he must have offspring and an heir, because he killed his youngest son, and his other two sons became undead.

Furthermore, because of what his youngest son did after becoming the Lich King, he began to doubt his own parenting abilities.

So when Xue Lude announced that his school had been built, the old Demon Emperor was overjoyed. At least now his newborn offspring would no longer have to worry about education.

After all, the old Demon Emperor felt that although he had studied on Earth, his level was just so-so, barely at the level of a political being. So he originally wanted to send the next generation to study on Earth.

But now, the problem is perfectly solved.

Finally, when Xue Lude left, he handed over the "Summoning Heroic Spirits" spell to the old Demon Emperor.

He probably needs this technique too, and for Xue Lude, it's just a piece of cake. He doesn't care at all about the technique being leaked out, because the origin of this technique is in his own Hall of Heroes.

Once the heroic spirits summoned by this spell dissipate, they will completely return to Valhalla.

He even wishes everyone in the universe would use this technique.

However, this technique has very high learning requirements; one must be at least at the rank of Quasi-5 to attempt it. At the same time, the requirements for the summoned Heroic Spirit are also very high; not just anyone can become a Heroic Spirit. At the very least, their spiritual particles must be qualified to be recorded in the world.

From an Earth perspective, at the very least, you need to make a name for yourself in history to have a chance.

Seeing that the world of the old Demon Emperor was still in ruins, Xue Luding took the opportunity to teach the magical technique of "Bread Technique" to others.

This technique is simple, but it is particularly useful, especially in worlds with insufficient productivity. In fact, it has become Xue's favorite technique.

"Once I've finished everything, the school will be able to open and enroll students. You can send someone to study here then," Xue Dinglu said, finally mentioning the school's enrollment.

He had originally wanted to see if the old Demon Emperor had time to become a practical course teacher at the school, but seeing how busy he was having children, he decided against it.

"Finally, take care of your health as you get older. You seem quite weak." Xue Dinglu opened the portal and instantly disappeared inside.

The portal left behind a pool of blood and the corrosive breath of a dragon.

The old Demon Emperor, his face dark, said, "You're the one who's weak!"

……

After leaving the old Demon Emperor's planet, Xue Law was planning to go straight home. However, when he was calculating the coordinates, he stopped at Proxima Centauri.

This is the second home of the divine beings on Earth. In fact, Xue's Law still feels a little guilty about driving these divine beings to Proxima Centauri.

As the Beast of the End, I ended the Age of Gods, making the world a magic-free Earth. But to these beings from the Age of Gods, I might be considered a "world-destroying demon."

However, Xue's Law has no regrets. If he had to choose again, he would still end the Age of Gods.

“Let’s leave the ‘Summoning of Heroes’ behind. Perhaps they are the ones who need this spell the most.” Xue Dinglu silently approached Chaos.

Xue Law's feelings towards this former 10th Apostle, now the leader of the divine beings, have always been complex.

"What's wrong, Father?"

"This is the spell for 'Summoning Heroic Spirits.' I'm handing this spell over to you; the rest is up to you." Xue Dinglu didn't say much more. After handing the spell over to Chaos, he left.

He felt that staying there would only add to his embarrassment.

It's like the awkwardness of Sima Yi after his rebirth, encountering all the Wei generals in their second playthrough.

It was as if Zhu Di, after his death, saw Zhu Chongba and Zhu Biao.

Although the description is abstract, this is roughly the general feeling about Xue's Law.

After leaving Proxima Centauri, Xue Law made one last trip to the interstellar column.

The entire team is still preparing for battle. Xue Law saw a large number of starships and equipment left behind by the Mimic King. The logistics team is making final preparations. At the same time, Xue Law also learned about the latest developments in the subspace.

If no one stops the Lord of the Mist from crashing into the subspace barrier left by the Venerable King, the final outcome will be that the subspace barrier and the Lord of the Mist will both disappear.

Although the King may continue to repair the warp barrier afterward, for the real universe, that could lead to the rampage of countless warp evil gods, a future that no one can tolerate.

Tomorrow will be the final battle, Xue Luding thought to himself. In truth, he had reached the end of this path to becoming a supreme king. Beyond that lay the realm of the concept god, an area that was absolutely untouchable.

I am somewhat like the former Mimic King, but this is only in terms of rank; my actual abilities and power are far inferior to those of the former Mimic King.

He is even somewhat inferior to his predecessor, Hassan.

But now, at least I can serve as a background super soldier in this battle of gods.

With one last night, he planned to go home to see his family and, in the end, rest at home.

……

Earth, at the entrance of Xuejiaqiao Village.

Elderly people sat at the village entrance, cracking sunflower seeds and gazing at the bustling city streets across the road, making the area seem like an intelligence agency. Sunflower seed shells were scattered on the ground, and many cats and dogs nearby were also squatting by the roadside sunbathing.

Just across the road lies the boundary between the city and the countryside.

The elderly folks chatted about their children, how well so-and-so was doing, whose child had failed an exam, and when the village would be demolished.

The village is going to be demolished, that's been confirmed, but the exact demolition time is still unknown. The subway station has already been built into the village, and two kilometers away, a developer has already started building resettlement housing. Some people have been there and said that the resettlement housing there is like villas.

It's estimated that this place will be demolished in a few years, and a huge commercial district will be built in its place.

Everything in the village now will probably disappear: the vegetable fields of each family, the irrigation ditches, and the old village with its bluestone slabs. Everything that once existed will probably disappear.

Some people lamented that the village might just disappear, while others were happy because they could get bigger resettlement houses and a batch of compensation. Although they wouldn't get rich, they could live comfortably for a long time.

"Big Yellow! Big Yellow!" The little girl's voice suddenly rang out at the village entrance.

The elderly people turned their heads and saw a big yellow dog running away with a slipper in its mouth, followed by a little girl who wasn't wearing shoes.

"Hey, this kid, this dog, the weather's not even warm yet, aren't they cold?" an old man said with a laugh.

"This kid looks unfamiliar."

"That's right, that Xue kid's daughter is the same kid who got into USTC."

"That kid! That poor kid..."

"Sigh, that kid had bad luck. But a year ago, after he entered USTC, he brought a woman home not long after, and they soon had a child. That's good, at least that kid has a family now."

The old men and women gossiped, and the big yellow dog quickly became timid when it saw the scene. Its tail drooped, and it put the slipper it was carrying on the ground.

Then Little Dragon Girl caught up with the big yellow dog, grabbed it by the ear with one hand and her slipper with the other, ready to drag it home and give it a good scolding.

"Kid, Big Yellow belongs to Old Li's family. This dog is probably much older than you. Don't hurt it," an old man joked with a smile.

"Then I'll spank its butt with bread!" Little Dragon Girl said without any hesitation. The big yellow dog, whose ears were being pulled, was baring its teeth and clearly in pain, but it didn't bark or bite, only making "whimpering" sounds.

The little girl's words amused the elderly men and women: "Using bread to hit a dog, can we still accept this bread?"
"By the way, Xue's kid, after your father comes back, have him go to the resettlement housing area, choose his own house, and then register with the village secretary. When it's time to move, he can just move to the place he chose." An old woman reminded Xiaolongniang.

"Huh?" Little Dragon Girl tilted her head in confusion. "Why are we moving?"

"Because this place is going to be demolished."

"It's been demolished?" Little Dragon Girl was still somewhat puzzled.

"It means the whole village is going to disappear, and we'll all have to move to another place," the old woman explained.

At that moment, Little Dragon Girl was stunned; perhaps she finally understood what "demolition" meant.

"So, this place is going to be gone? Why?" Little Dragon Girl didn't know why this place was going to be demolished. The village was fine, so why was it suddenly going to be gone?

Then there were the big yellow dog and orange cat that grew up with me, the little river where I often took my sister to play, and on the other side of the river was a lotus pond and a large field of rapeseed flowers.

My sister and I would often take two sticks and beat the weeds as if they were "sacred trees," playing around and sometimes coming home covered in mud, only to be severely spanked by our grandmother.

Why is this place suddenly going to disappear?
"Because the city needs to develop. Our village is close to the University of Science and Technology of China. In fact, more than ten years ago, our village was already practically defunct. A large number of people left, and many houses were rented to students. This village should have been demolished long ago."

Another old man seemed to sigh with similar emotion.

Little Dragon Girl froze on the spot. She looked at the big yellow dog whose ear seemed to be pinched painfully, and for some reason, she felt sad. She even reached out and hugged the big yellow dog's neck.

When Xue Dinglu stepped into the village, he saw Xiaolongniang carrying a big yellow dog. She seemed to be crying as she walked, and the big yellow dog in her arms seemed to be choking and kept whimpering.

Xue Law: "..."

Hey kid, be careful! You might accidentally strangle someone's dog!
This big yellow dog can be considered Xue's "childhood sweetheart". When Xue was in elementary school, Grandpa Li's family had just raised this little dog. So many years have passed in the blink of an eye. Xue has grown up, and this yellow dog seems to have grown old as well.

When this big yellow dog had puppies, Grandpa Li offered to give him one, but Xue refused because he was often away from home.

Later, he often teased and played with the dog, which accompanied Xue Dinglu throughout his childhood.

"What's wrong? Be gentle, don't strangle the dog." Xue Dinglu immediately went over and let go of Xiaolongniang's hand. The big yellow dog disappeared in a flash. It's estimated that the dog will have psychological trauma the next time it sees Xiaolongniang.

"Dad, Dad, the village is going to be gone, and our family is going to be gone too..." Little Dragon's mother seemed to have finally found an outlet for her emotions, and she hugged Xue Dinglu and cried.

Xue Law: "..."

After much searching, Xue Dinglu finally learned that the village was going to be demolished.

He thought it was something serious, but it turned out to be just a demolition project. Xue Dinglu immediately showed a sweaty, bean-like expression.

He actually knew this place was going to be demolished a long time ago. When he was very young, people started saying it was going to be demolished, and then every now and then there would be news of demolition. Now he's an adult, and there's a shopping mall with a huge flow of people across the street, but he still hasn't received a demolition notice.

The demolition is only happening now; it has actually been delayed for a long time.

"Alright, alright, it won't happen that fast. Maybe it will be demolished when you grow up," Xue comforted his child.

Although the demolition notice has been issued, Xue Dinglu estimates that it will be at least several more years before construction officially begins.

A few years later, the little girl might not like this village anymore, or she might even dislike it, Xue Dinglu thought.

"Alright, alright, it's nothing, it's just moving. Don't worry, the home will always be there. As long as Dad's here, the home will always be there," Xue Dinglu quickly reassured his silly eldest daughter. (End of Chapter)
