"Well, relatively good, of course, that's just comparing the worst." She smiled and waved her hand. "But I believe you, after all, Ethan and I haven't had a chance to have children yet. This little brat inherited Ethan's Noble Phantasm, so he's like half a child to us."

"This mask... Ethan said he was also inheriting someone else's dream, but he couldn't reach that point, so the rest is up to you!" She waved her hand. "We're all dead now. Just find a good place to bury us properly."

She seemed to harbor little resentment towards her death or anything else, nor did she appear to be in pain or confused. Perhaps she was a little witch who had been overprotected since childhood, protected by her family in her early years and later meeting a boy who would always spoil her.

She continued to live carefree like this forever. Looking back now, it seems her biggest regret was not having a child.

"By the way, little girl, what's your relationship with Ranbo? Your Noble Phantasm and spirit particles smell a lot like his. I remember Ranbo was supposedly sent back to his hometown and became a revered great prophet, right?" Rin suddenly asked Saya.

At the same time, he looked at Yilian and said, "And you, the water elemental, why do you smell like Karl?"

At that moment, Yilian and Xiaoye exchanged a glance.

Xiaoye immediately realized who the little chaotic wave she was talking about was. That was the ancestor of the royal family, the prophet who brought the knowledge from the academy back to his homeland and ushered in the Great Magic Era.

They were the ancestors of Luanpoye.

In truth, he was not royalty; he was merely a prophet throughout his life. However, in later eras, having attained sainthood, his descendants were naturally chosen to become royalty, and thus one branch of his descendants became the royal family—the very clan that later caused chaos and destruction.

The greatest treasure of this royal family is the information about the magic high school left behind by the ancestor of the Chaotic Waves. This is the secret treasure that the Magical Biotechnology Company spent a century cultivating thousands of experimental subjects to obtain, which is actually just one possibility for getting to the school.

"Let's just say, consider him my ancestor," Xiaoye said.

"Haha, so the descendants of Little Chaos have already reached the ancestral level? That's normal, there should have been thousands of years outside, right?" Ling looked at Yilian again.

“Karl was my grandfather, but I killed him,” Yilian said directly.

"Wow, why?" Ling didn't blame Yilian, but asked instead.

“Every few hundred years, he would possess a descendant to extend his own lifespan…” Yi Lian remained silent. “In truth, I am merely a descendant of the person he possessed in this generation…”

“Tsk, I knew Karl was such an extreme guy, he’d cause trouble once no one kept him in check.” Ling sighed. “He’s always been the most extreme one among us, the one most prone to getting stuck on things.”

"Sigh, perhaps this is fate." In the end, she could only sigh like that.

As for Daphne and Valerie, she didn't sense any familiar spiritual energy. Perhaps it was because, although they were also successors of Nyarlathotep and Herman respectively, they weren't related by blood and had only inherited a portion of each other's abilities and thoughts.

"Oh, right, senior, we also met Naya and Herman-senpai," the fairy girl interjected.

"Oh, how are they doing!" Ling was very interested in the future of her old friends.

So, in a very brief conversation, the group recounted their previous adventure, their battles with their senior classmates, and the entire process of how they summoned the archangel to seal the sea god.

Ling listened with a beaming smile, perhaps also recalling the adventures she and her group had once shared.

"Ah, perhaps this ending isn't so bad," she smiled, seemingly forever a girl who would never grow up. Finally, she asked, "Did they have children? How many descendants do they have?"

At that moment, the group fell silent.

Do Herman and Nyarli have children?

Yes, is there?

The group looked at the fairy lady; after all, she had once been a member of the fairy royal family. Let's see what she has to say.

“No, I don’t think so…” Daphne said.

"Sigh, it's been so long, and they still don't have children?" Ling sighed. "I guess they had to seal themselves off before they were ready to have children."

"By the way, do you all have partners? Do you have children?" In that instant, this senior from thousands of years ago seemed like a parent, as if she was about to urge them to get married.

Apart from Xiaoye, everyone else had a look on their faces.

“You, a descendant of little Karl…” she called out Yilian directly.

"No, that's all... I have some psychological trauma, let me take some time to recover before talking about it..." Yi Lian immediately turned her head away embarrassedly.

Perhaps the dueling rituals of the Morphlings had such a profound impact on him that he doesn't seem to have any thoughts on that topic. And another point…

I am an immortal being, and at my current age, I'm not even considered a primary school student among immortal beings. It's too early to urge me to get married.

Besides, if I really fall in love with someone, what kind of person would I like?

Let's say she's mature, intellectual, and petite, so we don't want to put too much pressure on her; she's also like a mother figure.

"And you, that silly little knight?" she asked Valerie again.

"Uh, me, me?" Valerie pointed to herself, her face flushing red. "I, I haven't, haven't even touched it yet..."

Thinking of this, Valerie suddenly recalled Li Ge in his rippled form, or perhaps it was the serious Li Ge she had seen during the freshman recruitment...

Damn it, why did I even think of that hanged man? Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!

Ling-senpai's expression turned ambiguous for a moment; she seemed to have guessed something, but didn't say it aloud. When her gaze shifted to the fairy Daphne, the fairy girl also blushed and said, "I...I haven't decided yet..."

"Tsk... Your generation is getting married a bit late." The senior student finally looked at Xiaoye. She remembered that in her time, most people got married around sixteen or seventeen, and more than ninety percent of them found their other half in their first year of school.

Looking at the current trend, it seems that the marriage age has been postponed a lot.

"Sorry, I'm already married." Xiaoye raised her hand, showing off the ring on her ring finger, and gave a provocative look.

At that moment, the expressions of the other members of the team became extremely strange.

Yi Lian saw through it but didn't say anything, Valerie's mind went blank for a moment, as if she knew nothing about it, while the fairy was very conflicted and complicated.

"Hey, did you get genetic matching done? Do you have children yet?" Ling asked with concern.

"Alright, alright, let's get down to business." Yi Lian coughed abruptly, interrupting the increasingly off-topic conversation.

“Alright, alright.” Bell immediately prepared. She began to walk deep into the dilapidated tower and said, “I will send you to the inner world, which is a future that is not anchored by the world consciousness, a world where nothing has happened.”

"That brat who inherited Ethan's Noble Phantasm should be there."

"Get ready, juniors! This is my last bit of spiritual power." Without any hesitation, she activated the magic net that covered the entire tower.

The group examined the remains of "Li Ge." Although, according to their senior, it was merely a simulation, it should be extremely helpful in their upcoming actions. Finally, Xiao Ye's shadow space enveloped the object.

Then I can hand this thing to Li Ge and let him see it. I can even take advantage of his confusion and jump onto his face to see his bewildered expression.

Finally, Rin looked at Saya and said, "Tell that brat not to follow in my footsteps or Ethan's footsteps, or he'll have regrets."

It was like a mother urging her children to get married; this was the senior student's final advice.

After all, aside from not having children, she had no regrets in her life. Now, seeing her successor become a couple with Ethan's successor as well.

This feeling was truly indescribable. Ling even had a strange and twisted feeling that her son and daughter had fallen for each other. Although she felt that the description wasn't quite right, that was definitely the feeling.

The only thing we don't know about is Jupiter. But as the strongest individual fighter in the team, Jupiter should be fine, right?

The entire tower came to life, bursting into the sky with light. She slowly dissipated into the light, leaving only a corpse, a slowly flickering system wristband, and the tower and its surrounding barrier that were about to collapse.

"Thank you, senior."

In the light, the group completely disappeared.

The tower began to collapse completely, and the meteorite fragments that had been coalesced by the spell began to twist and disintegrate. However, this collapsing tower, like a living organism, rapidly pieced itself back together and twisted, eventually transforming into a life form composed of meteorites, resembling a whale, emitting a roar that resounded throughout the heavens and earth.

Perhaps it was because of the departure of "Li Ge's" remains.

At the same time, the whole world seemed to come alive. Living sharks underground, fire giants in lava, a nightmare town teeming with evil spirits…

Everything, all the living inorganic matter that was created by the descent of the God of Life, is now fully awakened.

……

Meanwhile, on Li Ge's side...

"Finally, they took to the sky. The hot air balloon was automatically swallowed up by the barrier, and at the last second, they were swept up by the barrier, along with the basket of the hot air balloon they were clinging to, and brought here," Ethan's system slowly recounted.

"When Ethan was no longer able to support the barrier, they ultimately chose to use their own souls to bear it, even though it was all in vain," the system said slowly. "At the same time, after hearing about the situation of their child, Ethan realized that it might be that Ling's life solidification had gone wrong, so he decided to give his mask to the child of the couple who were willing to help him."

"Because once they pass through the barrier, they will be within the influence of the God of Life, so all their physical tissues must be excluded to avoid being controlled by the God of Life, and in the end they can only possess this last trace of their soul form."

The system slowly recounted the stories that once belonged to the older generation.

Finally, they sent the mask down into the sky along with the hot air balloon. They believed their friends would deliver the mask to Li Ge. They also said they had encountered an invincible enemy, but they would remain in the sky. As long as they could see a normal sky for even one more day, it would prove they were still alive, still watching over them from above.

At that moment, Li Ge almost couldn't hold back anymore.

So this is why our parents went through that mental phase after receiving news of your deaths?

Li Ge imagined what it would be like back then. They'd been here so long; the people below must have been incredibly anxious. Albion would probably have activated his levitation spell at full power, trying to catch them.

But in the end, all they received was a broken hot air balloon, along with the message and the mask inside.

Li Ge could imagine how much pain they must have been in back then.

Albion became the director of the Bureau of Anomalous Containment, Ronan became the mayor, and his aunt took him, a young boy, and went into hiding.

Perhaps, after Albion discovered his own abnormality, his pursuit of him was partly due to blaming himself for the deaths of Rean and his wife. He wasn't hunting the child, but merely the version of himself who, in the height of summer, confidently declared, "Don't worry, with my levitation spell, you'll all be safe."

The power contained by Albion all originated from those distorted life forms that were once activated by the God of Life.

He actually wanted to use the powers activated by the divine authority of life to fight against the God of Life...

After learning the truth of everything, Li Ge could only sigh in the end.

He slowly left the room. Outside the door, his parents' spirits remained, forever guarding this high tower.

"Did you guess me all along? When?" Li Ge asked her parents, the couple she had only seen in photos.

They still look just like they did when they were young, even younger than I do. It's hard to believe these are my complete strangers and their idiotic parents.

“When I first regained my memories,” Rean said with a smile.

“I guessed it even earlier, from the balloon,” Laura said, glancing at Li Ge. “And what mother wouldn’t recognize her own child?”

Chapter 310 The Ultimate Weapon for Slaying Gods

"Li Ge".

This woman, who looked even smaller than him, slowly uttered his name at that moment.

That baby in swaddling clothes had the exact same name as the one who had been running a high fever.

They both laughed. There were no tears, nor did they try to get any closer, for they knew they were now merely among the few remaining remnants of their souls. They looked at Li Ge and said, "Since you've grown so much, that proves our plan succeeded, right?"

“Hmm…” Li Ge nodded slowly.

Yes, the clown mask, or rather, the Fool's Mask, has truly become his. Although it has caused him some trouble, it's been the one that has carried him forward like a wheelchair so far, the one that brought him to the magic high school, and perhaps it's even the reason he hasn't been infected with the Bloodthirst Disease…

Not only herself, but also her cousin Ronan, and even her aunt, were freed from the bloodthirst disease because of this mask. Although it seemed to be only temporary…

“You’ve grown up,” Laura said. The mother, whom she had never met before, seemed to want to take a step forward, but ultimately stopped herself.

She smiled. In the sunset, there seemed to be glistening tears in her eyes, but Li Ge wondered if she was seeing things. How could a remnant soul possibly have tears?
