What if you ascend to the wrong world?

"..."

Cyril's lips twitched.

You'll regret this.

He closed his eyes again, ignoring Elliott.

He wouldn't stoop to the level of a dying madman.

That old man said he can do whatever he wants.

What if he gets upset and kills you...?

That's such a misunderstanding.

Let's just wait patiently for that old bastard to die.

When he dies, the Lord will naturally understand who His most devout believer is.

Elliott didn't say anything more, picked up the lantern, and turned to leave.

Regret?

Having experienced 'freedom,' how could one regret not being able to return to the cage?

……

……

"How was the harvest?"

In the study, Ye Tu looked at Irene Wett, who had just returned from the Dawn Cathedral. The oil painting he had brought back from the 'Ancient God Ruins' was lying face down on the table in front of him.

"I understand everything."

She paused, then added.

"Except for the part about the mother."

I thought I would learn something about my mother this time, but I didn't.

"Do you want to know?"

"...What do I need to give in return?"

"No need," Ye Tu said with a smile. "If you want to know, I can tell you directly."

Since this matter does not involve ancient gods, it is not difficult to deduce.

"Or, I can help you recall some of it first, and you can ask your uncle about the rest yourself when you see him."

Ye Tu gave her another option.

"So, which one should we choose, the first or the second?"

Do you remember your mother?

After a slight hesitation, Irene Vitte made a decision:

"Secondly, in exchange, the contract period will be extended by three months."

Although this might be a better deal for her, aside from that, she didn't have anything else to exchange with Ye Tu.

"can."

Chapter 62 The Future of Freedom

Is it really possible?

For a moment, Irene Wett's body tensed up, and a sense of nervousness rose uncontrollably from the depths of her heart.

Even she herself was somewhat puzzled by this realization.

Why do I feel nervous?

The concept of 'mother' was completely foreign to her...

Exhale gently.

She tried to suppress the complex emotions surging within her, but found that no matter how she tried to calm herself, she could not return to that state of 'normal mind'.

How should I cooperate?

"Just sit down."

Ok?

He looked up, and his gaze met Ye Tu's the instant.

boom!

The world vanished abruptly, and eternal darkness continued to spread. Those warm, jade-like eyes, clear in black and white, occupied everything she perceived in an incomprehensible way.

Her eyes began to lose focus, and she became dazed.

Soon, those gentle, jade-like eyes also faded, leaving only pure black and white intertwined and swirling, like a millstone, drawing her soul into it.

The world spun around.

Endless waves surged, and the soul, like a small boat, struggled to move forward in the raging storm.

Through trials and tribulations, the essence of the soul becomes pure at this moment.

Those forgotten by the world, those forgotten by her...

They all rose slowly from the depths of her memory, like faint bubbles.

It was a sunny afternoon, the flower field like brocade swayed in the breeze, and the gentle mother leaned against the father's chest.

Elegant, beautiful, and intellectual.

She looks nine-tenths like her, but she's less cold and more gentle.

It's like a collection of all the beautiful things in the world, so captivating that you can't take your eyes off it at first glance.

However, despite her composure in the face of everything, she looked at the bewildered child in her arms, her eyes crinkling, and she smiled like a child.

"Grow up quickly!"

A 'light' that Irene Wett couldn't understand flickered in her clear, crystal-like eyes.

It was so bright, yet it brought a pang of sadness to her heart.

Mother……

The lost memories are pieced together little by little.

The story begins with a legendary mage traveling the world meeting a hero who protects the empire. They get to know each other, fall in love, and thus she comes into being.

In the end, everything comes to a standstill due to differences in ideology.

The father believed that it was perfectly normal for the descendants of the Ice Warrior to protect the empire, and that this was how it had been done for generations.

But the mother felt that her child deserved a freer future.

"What a load of bull!"

That was the first time my elegant and beautiful mother lost her composure and the first time she argued with my father.

And so she left the Dawn Empire and headed towards that frost-bound sky, never to return.

Even the world has forgotten her.

"..."

The eternal darkness receded like the tide, and light reappeared.

Irene Vitte appeared dazed.

It took a long while before I slowly came back to my senses from my memories.

"...Who is it?"

"Didn't you already guess?"

"..."

After a long silence, Irene Wett got up from behind her desk.

"Sorry, I might need to think about this alone."

With that, she turned to leave the study.

But when he reached the door, he paused for a moment.

"Thank you."

"Ah."

As she left, Ye Tu looked out the window, his thoughts wandering.

Irene Vitte's mother was the first mage in the world to reach the realm of demigods after the gods returned to the astral plane.

It is not through faith, but through a transformation of one's own spirit.

She didn't want her child to be born without freedom, living in the constraints of a so-called 'contract'.

She wanted to change all of this.

So she found the second-generation Ice Warrior who had made a pact with the Lord of Dawn and abandoned the name of 'Hero'.

But it failed.

Even the traces of her own existence in this world were erased by a higher-level force.

Lennar Etherland was also affected and doesn't remember anything related to it, but his belief in protecting the empire was shaken as a result, which led to the current Irene Wett.

A completely different Ice Warrior from before, no longer solely focused on protecting the empire.

……

……

"Now that the mission is complete, let's hurry back."

The top floor of the Mage Tower.

Daphne's mental projection is urging Ivia on.

"Doesn't it take time to verify the data?"

She had just sent the virtual crystal back via the teleportation magic circle.

Given the efficiency of the Dharma Masters Association, it would probably take a day or two just to go through the procedures, right?

It looks like it will be three days before the task status is officially changed!

"You don't need to worry about that, I'll take care of it." Daphne's expression was more serious than ever before. "What you need to do is leave the Dawn Empire as soon as possible with Ye Tu and that Ice Warrior!"

The astral observation device on Sky Island has detected anomalies in the astral plane.

The concentration of light magic in the Dawn Empire is also rising rapidly, just like the 'divine overflow' phenomenon recorded in the data.

Clearly, this is a major event that truly involves the realm of the gods, enough to shake the entire world!

Many Saint-level professionals who had disappeared for many years have reappeared.

A newly promoted archmage like Ivia, if caught up in an event of this level, wouldn't even know how she died!

“But Ye Tu doesn’t seem to be leaving.” Ivia blinked.

"Then you can leave first."

"I couldn't possibly accept that."

They're a team; they'll leave together and stay together.

How could she possibly leave first?

Wouldn't that make him a deserter?

and……

"It's just a Lord of Dawn, Ye Tu said it's fine, so don't worry, teacher," she said casually.

Daphne was almost amused by her words.
