Villain: After I died, all the heroines cried themselves to sleep.

Under the radiance of the sun and moon, the three elders were instantly vaporized.

"Professor Rhodes?!"

Leo stared at Rod in disbelief.

Not only him, but after meeting up with the others from the Golden Generation, they all wore expressions of disbelief.

It was like seeing a ghost.

After all, Rhodes had been out of contact for three years, and everyone had assumed he was dead.

Otherwise, Luna wouldn't have been so devastated, and Ange wouldn't have left without saying goodbye.

"I heard about your whereabouts from Professor Moya, so I came here to assist you."

Rod skipped over the past and went straight to the point.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

In the past, Professor Rhodes has repeatedly stepped in to help everyone overcome difficulties at the college.

Therefore, they have a high degree of trust in Rhodes, and now that they have joined forces with him, they immediately feel secure.

In the three years of fighting the Adventists, I have never felt so safe.

Moreover, Rhodes has Ange by his side.

With Ange's time rewind, everyone's injuries, including Baal who was poisoned by the curse, were instantly healed.

"By the way, Professor, is this your new student?"

Li Ao pointed to You Ni next to An Jie.

Yuni immediately introduced herself to everyone.

"You must be seniors of the Golden Generation? I've heard so much about you, it's an honor to meet you. I am Princess Yuni of the Kingdom of Ula... Ah! I bit my tongue again!"

Yuni stuck out her little tongue, her eyes brimming with tears.

"Are you Princess Yuni?"

Louis exclaimed in shock.

"But didn't you go crazy and become a beggar on the street?"

"Huh? A beggar? Me?"

Yuni pointed to herself, looking completely bewildered.

I don't understand why Louis said that.

"teacher."

Melie tugged at Larrod's sleeve and whispered.

"This Princess Yuni is under a very strong curse."

"I know."

Rhodes nodded.

He looked around at everyone and frowned slightly.

"Where's Luna? Isn't she with you?"

"..."

Upon hearing this, the surroundings immediately fell silent.

Everyone looked at each other.

Finally, it was Livia who spoke.

"Ever since the professor disappeared, Luna cried for a long time, and then she became completely distraught, hiding in the attic and refusing to see anyone. I've been taking care of her for the past few years..."

"..."

Rhodes rarely rubbed his forehead in front of everyone.

He then realized that Luna was still immersed in the grief of killing herself and had never emerged from the shadow of her grief.

Listening to Livia recount Luna's tragic situation.

Rhodes felt a little uneasy.

Suddenly, someone gently took his arm.

Ange quietly moved closer to Rod, seemingly offering silent comfort.

But judging from her slightly pouting lips, it seemed more like she was expressing a little jealousy.

"But now that Professor Rhodes is back, once she returns to the Imperial capital and Luna sees him and learns that he is safe and sound, she will surely cheer up!"

Livia was genuinely happy for Luna.

"The prerequisite is to get out of this godforsaken place first."

Louis added.

The Golden Generation's experience was similar to Rhodes'; after entering Ula City, they were transported to this past timeline.

And they kept repeating the same night, being attacked by the elders of the Advent Society and demons.

Even if you kill them, the next night will still repeat itself.

Not long ago, Baal was also poisoned by the Advent Society's curse. If it weren't for Lothar and Angelina's timely appearance, the five members of the Golden Generation might not have lasted much longer.

"Leo acted recklessly as the team leader, Livia failed to stop him as the vice-captain, Louis was frivolous and careless, Bali overestimated himself, and Melie remained silent. All of them failed."

Rod, true to his profession, launched into a scathing critique of everyone.

The Golden Generation, who were arrogant in front of others, suddenly turned into obedient children, bowing their heads and obediently accepting Rod's scolding.

"I told you before that the Advent Society is not simple. Their president and vice president both have top-level strength. If they were here, you wouldn't be alive now."

"Um... Professor, there was infighting before the Advent Society, and both the president and vice president are dead..."

Livia raised her hand and chuckled dryly.

"?"

Rod suddenly stopped.

"Although everyone says that we defeated the Advent Society, the turning point in the Advent Society's defeat was actually its internal division..."

Leo smiled wryly and echoed.

Louis once infiltrated the Advent Society's stronghold and found it littered with corpses, including the Advent Society's president and vice president.

It was only later, through an elder of the Advent Society, that I learned that an internal conflict had occurred.

Now, only four elders remain at the headquarters of the Advent Society.

"..."

Rod was speechless.

In the predetermined destiny, there has never been any infighting within the Advent Society.

Could it be that my death caused some kind of butterfly effect?

"Professor, we're trapped in the past and can't get out. The elders of the Advent Society are immortal. How can we get back to the future?"

Louis, quite brazenly, clung to Rhodes's leg.

"The past?"

Yuni, who had been unable to keep up with the pace, was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth.

"So Professor Rhodes traveled back from the future to help me?"

"Louis, how did you graduate from Professor Moya's class?"

Rhodes glanced at Louis.

"I should have told you before that there is only one timeline. We can't really go back to the past, and there's no such thing as going back to the future. So this isn't a past timeline, but rather a magical barrier extracted from the past."

At this point, a flash of inspiration struck Rhodes.

Unfortunately, it was too fast to capture.

"Has the professor already cracked the spell of this barrier?"

"As I've mentioned before, duels between warlocks are not just about the strength of their spells, but also about their understanding of those spells. So warlocks must always remain calm."

Rod said calmly.

During his search for the land of the Golden Age, he also analyzed the spells engraved throughout the city.

Although it was the first time I had seen this kind of technique, it was surprisingly easy to understand.

He quickly found the core of the technique and how to break it.

"This is a complex spell. The caster used their mental memories to recreate a past timeline. There are two ways to undo this spell."

"One is to sever the connection between hearts, and the other is to dismantle the nodes of time and space."

Unfortunately, Luna wasn't there, so the first method couldn't be implemented.

"Professor, just tell us what to do, and we'll do it."

Leo immediately expressed his opinion.

Everyone else was also looking intently at Rhodes.

"It doesn't need to be complicated. Just set up a time-reversal spell at a specific node, and then have Ange activate it."

Rod said unhurriedly.

For him, breaking the spell was not difficult.

The real challenge lies in another hurdle.

……

The long night is coming to an end.

When the sun rose, the city of Ula, ravaged by fire and war, was littered with corpses and ruins, reduced to a desolate wasteland.

There were no enemies during the day, and due to the large number of nodes, the group chose to split up to complete the inscription of the reversal spell as quickly as possible.

Ange insisted on leaving with Rod.

Rod had no choice but to take Ange and Yuni with him.

"Everyone is dead... How could it have turned out like this..."

Yuni looked at the horrific scene around her, her expression filled with sorrow.

Suddenly, the thought that she would have been one of them if it weren't for Professor Rhodes filled her with lingering fear.

"Thanks to Professor Rhodes for saving me, otherwise I wouldn't have survived."

"..."

"teacher……"

Ange glanced at the stern-faced Rod.
