The magic high school is under construction! When has your brother Xue ever lied to you?
Thinking this, Xue changed his shoes and went into the house.
It's morning now, and the house is quite busy, or rather, Valrhona is simply getting busy.
After her aunt became unable to make breakfast on time due to health reasons, Valrhona seemed to take on the responsibility of the small family.
Every morning she is the first to get up, then she starts making breakfast, cleaning the house, and waking her two little sisters up on time.
She would also serve the food to her aunt after cooking before heading to the HKUST library to read.
Little Dragon Girl doesn't seem to be as mischievous anymore. She now reads or watches TV quietly instead of running around like a naughty child, grabbing cats and crushing dogs.
She seems to have matured a bit now and has started to be as serious as her sister. When Fafnir isn't around, she occasionally helps clean the room, do laundry, or take care of her aunt.
Now, when Xue Dinglu just got home, it was the time when Valrhona was getting up to make breakfast.
When Fafnir saw Xue Dinglu return, she was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Welcome home, teacher!"
Xue Dinglu nodded and sat down on the sofa. It was only 6 a.m., which was indeed too early for his two daughters to get up. He suggested that they stay in bed a little longer and get up after breakfast was ready.
“Hmm? Lotte’s daughter?” the Mimic King immediately said.
"Yeah," Xue replied casually, leaning back on the sofa, wanting to rest for a bit.
"Are you married? Should I pull Lotte's soul out of the Pure Land and let him bear witness for you while he's still conscious?" The Mimic King immediately uttered a completely nonsensical statement.
Xue's Law: "..."
"What nonsense are you spouting now..." Xue Dinglu retorted directly.
“No, you just got home and said ‘I’m home,’ and then Lotte’s daughter said ‘Welcome home.’ Isn’t that a standard conversation between a young couple? What did I say wrong?” The Mimic King immediately retorted with dissatisfaction.
"Besides, since you all live together, don't you all have children?" the Mimic King continued.
Then, the eldest and second daughters woke up groggily. They didn't know why they were awake so early; they were probably woken up by Xue Dalu. However, the moment they saw Xue Dalu, they snapped out of it and said, "Dad!"
"Look, you already have a daughter?" the Mimic King continued his gossipy chatter.
Xue's Law: "..."
Don't tell me you can't see the true nature of your two daughters. The Little Dragon Girl is essentially the same as Su Su, a split from the world's consciousness, while the Little Tree Girl is actually a mutated divine tree.
You mimicking the king, why are you so gossipy!
“Okay, I was just kidding. But you two have been living together for so long, aren’t you going to consider getting married? After all, I’m practically this little girl’s elder, and I can even get Lotte to appear in the mortal world one last time,” said the Mimic King.
Xue's Law: "..."
It's already 2025, why are they still pressuring me to get married...?
Is this world ever going to get any better? What's wrong with being single? Does being single mean I'm eating your rice?
Xue Dinglu was speechless. He could only ruffle his two daughters' hair and tell them to go wash up and then come out for breakfast.
He never expected that the Mimic King, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, would be so excited when he encountered gossip.
"Don't think like that. I watched Lot grow up. He was picked up by Olivia when he was four years old and grew up little by little. Although his strength is average, it's neither good nor bad. He doesn't have any outstanding features, but he doesn't have many weaknesses either."
"If things go smoothly, he will become a planetary surveyor and stay in that position for a long time until he settles down, starts a family, and retires to a civilian job."
As the Mimic King spoke, he also sighed, "Just like Song Quan, whom you know, becoming a member of the logistics department is fine. You can continue to contribute to the development of the interstellar column if you want, or you can live a peaceful life like this. I will watch him grow old, and then watch his children take over the responsibilities of their father and grow up again..."
"Unfortunately, none of us expected that even with Lotte's strength and the emergency communication device that allowed him to contact me, he couldn't return from that planet..." the Mimic King lamented.
For some reason, Xue Law suddenly saw a trace of loneliness in this gossipy cosmic overlord. He seemed to have witnessed the aging and death of generation after generation, and at the same time, he saw the departure of generation after generation of old friends.
Many of the children He saw as tiny might one day be able to stand on their own, and the next day they would be old and frail.
As for the Imitation King, this immortal being, He may have come to terms with it, or He may have become numb to it by now.
Therefore, in this environment of meeting an old friend in a foreign land, the Mimic King would be happy just to see Fafnir, like an old man seeing the descendant of an old friend again.
"As for your two daughters..." The Mimic King paused for a moment.
“A split from the world consciousness, a consciousness born on the divine tree blessed by the world consciousness. However, in a broad sense, without me there would be no them, so they can indeed be called my daughters,” Xue Dinglu explained.
"So your home really is a shelter for problem children. I think I understand what your relationship is with Lotte's daughter now. You've been raising her as your daughter, haven't you?" the Mimic King said.
"Yes, it's always been like this..." Xue Dinglu replied calmly.
"Breakfast is ready," Fafnir said, poking her head out of the kitchen.
After the family finished their breakfast in peace, Fafnir placed a fried egg in a bowl of noodles, preparing to take it to her aunt. Xue Dinglu reached out and took it, saying, "Let me do it, and check on Aunt's health at the same time."
“Okay, teacher…” Fafner smiled and took off her apron.
"You seem to have gained a little weight," Xue Dinglu said, looking at her.
Or rather, Valrhona used to be too thin, practically skin and bones. When Xue Dinglu first met her, she weighed about 60 pounds, and now she's probably around 80 pounds. Although she's still thin, she's improved a lot.
Fafnir: "..."
Her smile froze instantly, because so far she had realized that neither her height nor her bust size had increased, so where exactly was she getting fat?
Xue Dinglu ignored the child's inexplicable disappointment and took the bowl to his aunt's bedroom.
The television in the room was still on, playing an unknown TV series. Aunt was asleep, but seemed to be in a light sleep, waking up the moment Xue Dinglu entered.
"Ah Xue, you're back..." Auntie said, revealing an awkward smile.
Xue Dinglu looked at her and saw that in just a few days, his aunt had begun to age rapidly. At over 3200 years old, she was now truly approaching the end of her life. Her appearance, which had always been well-controlled, was now showing obvious signs of aging. She looked like she was almost 50 years old, with a few wrinkles creeping onto her face.
"Okay, let me check your body again." Xue Daolu placed the breakfast on the bedside table and reached out to hold his aunt's hand, whose skin was beginning to wrinkle.
"Your Majesty, please help me. I want to extend the lifespan of my loved ones..." Xue Dinglu finally voiced his selfish thoughts.
The cursed blood entered Aunt's body. This was the umpteenth time the cursed blood had examined this frail body. Even this cursed power had no effect on a body and soul that had reached the end of their lifespan.
The cursed blood can heal any other injury or disease, but it cannot heal death from old age.
"This is... the very end of life..." The Mimic King immediately discovered the cause of the illness, but there was little he could do. "Even your relative was already a near-5th rank in terms of status, but in this world where magic is forbidden, their power is far inferior..."
"To extend lifespan, one must reach the true Apostle level, but that would be troublesome..." The Mimic King stated his answer.
There are indeed many life-extending items in the Starfleet, but those are for people who haven't reached their theoretical lifespan limit. My aunt, on the other hand, has indeed reached the end of her lifespan, similar to how her health bar now only has 1 point left.
In this situation, healing items are useless; the only solution is to increase the maximum health bar, which means becoming a Tier 5...
However, this is very troublesome.
For Earth, being a near-5th rank is like Athena among the 12 Olympian gods. Her aunt and parents were gods in Greece, second only to the 12 Olympian gods. It's normal that she was born with a 4th rank and that she could slowly reach near-5th rank over thousands of years.
However, in a world where magic is absolutely forbidden, the actual combat power of a near-5th rank achieved through sheer lifespan is extremely worrisome, and she is also the only divine being that her mother spared.
However, even in the Age of Gods, Xue's law only knew Zeus, Typhon, and the second-generation god-king Uranus as fifth-tier beings. This fully demonstrates that even in the Age of Gods on Earth, fifth-tier beings were not commonplace. At the very least, they were the level of a major god, or at the very least, world-destroying demons.
According to Xue's Law, the only solution currently available is the fruit of the Divine Tree.
"Don't rush. Although it's troublesome, I've calculated 92 solutions. Which one do you want to listen to?" The Mimic King immediately listed the solutions.
Xue's Law: "?"
The emotions he had just built up were instantly silenced by the news of these 92 proposals.
"Is this what you call troublesome..." Xue Dinglu couldn't help but complain.
Chapter 441 The hero Sildires finally returned to the most loyal Greece
The atmosphere fell silent for a moment, and Xue Dinglu gasped in shock.
What does it mean to say, "This thing is very complicated, I only managed to come up with 92 solutions"?
Originally, Xue was prepared to pay the price to achieve his goal. He even felt that he had built up his emotions and was ready to accept all the consequences. Then, suddenly, like a deflated pufferfish, he lost his dream.
"It is indeed troublesome. Think about it, this is the only solution I have, which is troublesome in itself," the Mimic King said arrogantly.
Xue's Law: "..."
The strongest being in the universe, the ultimate biological computer, the Mimic King who can create a cross-world chat group in just a few days with just a technical direction—he seems to really have the right to say that…
Xue Dinglu stopped wasting time and began to look at the plan proposed by Mimicry King.
Although a lot was listed, I generally understood Schrödinger's Law, which can be divided into several categories.
One way is through a breakthrough in strength; once you reach level 5, you can instantly extend your lifespan significantly.
The second method is the breakthrough of the rank, which means that one cannot break through in terms of strength, but becomes the agent of the planet's consciousness in terms of rank. The disadvantage is that such agents are basically unable to leave the planet and become a kind of earthbound spirit.
The third possibility is racial transformation, where the aunt is transformed from her identity as a "Greek god" into another race with a longer lifespan, such as an elf, lich, dragon, etc.
Any race with a theoretical lifespan exceeding 3200 years can become the target for aunt identity transformation, and this third option is the one listed the most.
The fourth option is reincarnation with preserved memories, allowing one to live a second life. However, this could raise ethical issues, such as an aunt becoming a daughter...
As for other strange and unconventional solutions, Xue's Law no longer considers them.
These can be broadly categorized into four types, which is much better than Xue's previous approach of only considering solving the problem through the fruit of the Divine Tree. However, many of these solutions are difficult to implement due to Xue's identity.
However, at this moment, he felt that this was no longer a problem, and for the Mimic King, it might just be a minor inconvenience.
He never imagined that he could get things done simply by asking his mother for help. It seems that he had been stuck in a dead end, or that his thinking had become increasingly rigid and he was gradually losing his direction.
"Ah Xue, I'm fine. Maybe I should have died a long time ago, but I'm only coming to find you now." Auntie was quite open-minded and was comforting Xue Dinglu.
"It's alright, the problem has been solved, don't worry." Xue Dinglu smiled, slightly channeling a little bit of life force with his cursed blood to make his aunt feel better, and then gently closed the door.
Actually, things are not as complicated as I thought. Just as Mimic King said, it's just a problem, not something that can't be solved.
"Actually, based on her original lifestyle, she should have been able to continue for a while longer. Her lifespan should have ended more than a thousand years ago, but she used a simple and effective method to forcibly extend her lifespan..." The Mimic King continued, glancing at Xue Law.
Seeing Xue's dead fish eyes, the riddle teller immediately abandoned his intention to speak: "She must have used a method similar to 'hibernation' to forcibly prolong her lifespan, which is why she has been able to live to this day. That is, she is in hibernation for most of the year and only becomes active for a few hours."
"If she had continued living this way, she could have lived for hundreds more years. But she gradually gave up on this way of life and lived like a normal human being. As a result, she reached the end of her life. This is the price she paid for 'hibernating' for so long."
Xue took a deep breath and gradually understood the reason.
My aunt gradually awoke from hibernation around the beginning of this century.
I see...
He thought of many things, but in the end, looking at his two quiet and untroubled daughters, he just smiled and said to them, "Don't worry, Grandma is much better now. Wait a few days, and I'll make sure she gets better."
"Mmm..." The two daughters nodded repeatedly, and Xue Luding patted the two naughty children on the head.
“Grandma had said before that she wanted to go back to her hometown, but she wasn’t feeling well then,” Xiaolongniang suddenly said, a statement that puzzled Xue Dinglu.
