"You shouldn't do such a dangerous thing!" Kasiri was the first to disagree and refused righteously.

"Tutor, please think about it again." Tai said.

Saisha also dissuaded: "I know you are eager to return to reality, but you don't have to worry at all. Even if Kasiri travels back to reality and stays for decades, he will return to our current time."

Josh shook his head, "What I'm worried about is not entirely a matter of time, but the risk."

He looked sideways at Kieran, who was silent next to him, "Did you tell them that we haven't been able to observe reality for a long time?"

"This..." Kieran scratched his beard in embarrassment, "Because it's not needed, so... I only told Kasiri privately."

The original time anchor point was calculated based on when Josh entered the time gap.

At that time, they could still observe the development of part of reality, and Kiran's contact with Cassiry came from some time in the future.

However, the longer Josh leaves reality, in the following decades, the branch of time that was born due to his existence will gradually be completely covered by the shadow of time, making it difficult to observe the reality.

Because of this, in order to avoid the emergence of the paradox of time and space, Kieran has not admitted new members for a long time.

In addition, it was for this reason that Josh was eager to project his time clone into reality to talk to Ahri.

Josh was a little angry at Kieran's "irresponsibility", pointed at his nose and cursed: "You bad old man!"

The other apprentices looked confused.

Then, Josh climbed up the stairs directly to Cassili, and placed strong hands on his shoulders.

"Teacher...please trust me!"

Kasiri patted his chest confidently, but Josh could still see the fear of the unknown future hidden deep in his eyes.

"This is not a question of trust or distrust." Josh shook his head seriously, "We cannot observe the reality, so we cannot be sure what era this time and space jump will go to."

Josh thought for a moment and continued: "It's okay if it's the future, but if you go to the fixed past, based on your experience, you may cause trouble."

Over the past two hundred years, Josh and Kieran have also been studying the mystery of time, but their strategies have been in different directions.

Jilan focuses on the study of time cause and effect and philosophy, supplemented by practice.

But Josh is the exact opposite of him. He only studies the theory to better study the application of time magic.

In addition, Josh rarely learns about "philosophy" and complex and obscure "cause and effect" thinking.

After all, Josh is extremely talented in learning magic, and even if a genius comes into contact with a field that he is not good at, he often learns faster than ordinary people.

If we compare Kieran, who has also learned time magic, with Josh, Josh's theory is not as good as Kieran's, but his various applications of time magic can be said to be better than Kieran's.

Although it was the first time for a living being to travel through time and space, Josh could see at a glance that this time and space jump gate had no flaws in theory.

Then a physical experiment was conducted, and the time robot returned safe and sound, proving its feasibility in practice.

But the key to the problem of traveling through time and space this time is the uncertainty of reality.

If something unexpected happens, Kasiri will cease to exist.

Or, this apprentice, who is far less proficient in time than the two mentors, goes back to the past and comes into contact with certain forbidden things, which affects the already fixed time nodes and is very likely to cause time turmoil.

destroy.

"Like I said, I have the world runes that can guarantee my immortality, but you are different, Kasiri, you only have one life."

Josh's seriousness was just like how he used to teach his apprentices how to treat time and space magic correctly. He was meticulous and did not allow any mistakes.

Cassiry frowned and winked, his expression seemed troubled, he looked past Josh and looked at Kieran below.

"Do you really want to do this?"

Jilan blew his beard and sighed, "You know very well that it would be fine if you traveled to the past, you can go back again, but if it's the future...

"Although in that case, we can dispel the shadow of time, but the anchor point of time will be fixed."

After a long silence, Josh asked: "When is the time node of the main world?"

"It has reached the end of the Rune War." Kieran replied, "The first king Oren will soon lead the refugees to the western part of the Valoran continent and establish the Kingdom of Demacia."

"Has it been so long..." Josh couldn't help but murmur.

It was obvious that less than two hundred years had passed in the gap between time, but decades ago, he projected his clone into reality and saw Ahri who had just passed away after the Great Destruction.

But now, 300 years of observable time in the main world have passed.

How many years have passed since reality, how long has Ahri waited for me...

Josh felt bitter in his heart.

"Time is such a complicated and wonderful thing." Kieran said.

【Are you sure you want to do this? For your little apprentice?】

"We have been together for more than a hundred years. Our friendship as friends is far greater than that of master and apprentice. I cannot let him die."

[Accidents may not happen.] Lunishia’s voice was dull, [but you, are you mentally prepared?]

"I should be the one asking you this." Josh smiled, "There is a certain chance that we will get lost in the turbulence of time and space, unable to survive or die. It will be more torture than staying in this time gap."

[Stop trying to scare me, do you think I haven’t learned time magic in all these years?] Lunessia snorted, [You are avoiding my question.]

Josh was silent for a moment, "The timeline of the main world has only passed for more than three hundred years, and the reality should not span too long."

【Oh? Are you so confident?】

"..."

Josh cleverly changed the topic: "Do you still want to lift the seal?"

[You... Damn it! You really don't know how to open the pot!] Lunessia gritted her teeth and said, [I suspect that you have been using 'unsealing' to control me! In your extremely weird words, it's called...

What are you hacking?]

"PUA?" Josh smiled, "I've told you many times, you can definitely lift the seal, you have to be patient."

[Patience, patience...you fucking started again!] Under the influence of Josh, Lunishia will always lose her self-cultivation as a scholar, [I have been patient for two hundred years!]

"Aren't we about to go back now?"

Lunessia snorted coldly and said no more.

There was another long moment of silence in the air, and the atmosphere gradually became solemn.

Twenty or thirty apprentices in the large hall stared at Josh who was communicating with Lunisia, and no one said a word.

Seeing this, Kasiri took the initiative to break the silence: "Teacher, I..."

"No need to say more." Josh raised his hand to stop, took a deep breath and said, "I have made up my mind."

He raised a warm smile on his lips and patted Cassili twice on the shoulder.

"Mentor Josh!"

"There's no need to persuade him any more. You all know Josh's temperament. Even ten Enuk cows can't bring him back what he decides."

Kieran interrupted the apprentices and looked at Josh seriously, "Are you sure you are ready?"

Josh nodded heavily without hesitation, "If possible, please set the coordinates in the sparsely populated Python River Delta."

…

…

The process of making the time jump was very smooth, far beyond Josh's expectations.

He didn't even use the power of the world runes. He just passed through the green time element barrier generated by the ring arch and felt dizzy and dizzy for a moment.

After regaining consciousness, the environment in front of him suddenly changed.

It was cold and biting, as if a ghostly wind that could touch the soul was blowing from all directions.

The environment in front of us is misty, dark, absurd and desolate, with superficial or ferocious cracks all over the earth, turbulent currents in the sky, and thunderous thunder flashing in the billowing black clouds.

Whispering and incomprehensible murmurs are heard from time to time, like the cruel overture of death and the eternal lament played by the death singer.

And shrouded in the surroundings is an evil black mist that can continuously draw out life.

It's like a hellish nightmare.

This is Shadow Island, which is hundreds of nautical miles away from the established teleportation coordinates of the island in the Python River Basin.

"The future is now certain. The key is the time." Josh spoke in his mind and looked around, "I thought everything would go smoothly."

With the magic power surging inside his body, Josh drew arcane runes with one hand and propped up an arcane barrier around his body.

While isolating one's breath, it also prevents the cursed black mist from draining one's life.

But after just a moment's hesitation, the twisted soul hidden in the vicious fog appeared, wailing and roaring at Josh, almost ready to launch an attack.

【Oh, this is not a good sign.】
