It wasn't until after dinner that Ye Chuan noticed Lilith had returned. She was standing in the hallway, tilting her head as if deep in thought.
"Hey Lilith, what are you thinking about?"
Hearing Ye Chuan's greeting, Lilith didn't respond immediately. It wasn't until he got close that she seemed to snap out of it and turned around.
"What?"
"I saw you spacing out here, just thought I'd ask," Ye Chuan said.
"I can sense the instability of the world," Lilith said.
"So?"
"So—strive to become stronger," Lilith said.
Ye Chuan: "?"
"Oh, right, Lilith. I asked you something before," Ye Chuan said, as if suddenly remembering. "I asked you if there was a type of monster capable of 'disguise', and you answered that there was once an uprising of disguising monsters in an empire. What was the name of that empire?"
Hearing this, Lilith found it a bit strange that Ye Chuan would ask about such things, but she naturally wouldn't easily forget the contents recorded in ancient tomes.
"It was a country called the Hill Empire. As for the Appraisal Magic I taught you, it was created by a legendary mage named Xixi Chinayega."
"Why do you look so surprised?"
"Uh..." Ye Chuan rubbed his temples. "That, my head is a bit messy. You mean to say, this happened a long time ago?"
"Yes," Lilith said. "That is already a matter of the Ancient Aether Continent."
"..."
The timeline of the Magical Continent he was visiting... wasn't it a bit off?
Xixi Chinayega.
If there wasn't someone else with the exact same name, she had to be talking about him, right?
But the detection magic was taught to him by Lilith, yet his magic was left behind for the future Lilith on the Aether Continent?
Which came first, the chicken or the egg?
This isn't right, is it?
Seeing Ye Chuan return to his room looking like he had a headache, Lilith felt a bit puzzled but didn't say much more. She simply flipped her twin tails and turned back to her own room.
Back in his room, Ye Chuan took out his phone and tapped on 'Adventure World'. Looking at the icons of the various worlds, he began to think about the timelines of these adventure worlds for the first time.
"Qianshuang's side shouldn't have any issues. Lilith's side is wrong... As for Gua Xiaotian's side, every time I go in, decades seem to have passed. And I haven't been to Ke Ning's future world yet."
Although the timelines were messy, there seemed to be some kind of pattern.
"I don't understand. (said with a Fenghua accent)"
Forget it, let's just enter the Aether Continent and take a look.
After a few simple rounds of the card game *Legends of the Three Kingdoms* with the little ones at home, Ye Chuan grabbed his spear and entered the Aether Continent.
Launch, Aether Continent!
...
...
Opening his eyes, an expansive Western-fantasy style room came into view. Ye Chuan sat up in bed, and a knock came from the door nearby.
"Lord Xixi, are you awake? May I come in?"
"Mm."
The maid pushed the door open, holding breakfast in her hands. "Lord Xixi, please enjoy your breakfast—do you require me to help you change?"
"No need."
"What about cleaning services? Of course, that is also one of a maid's duties. You may use me as you please; we wash very thoroughly."
"Already did it." Ye Chuan yawned as he got out of bed. With a snap of his fingers, his pajamas transformed into a set of ordinary black vest and trousers.
Although the maid was a bit surprised, she calmed down upon recalling Ye Chuan's identity as a mage.
Ye Chuan simply enjoyed the breakfast of the Aether Continent.
How should he put it—
The taste was just average. Not as delicious as the barbecue and sparkling water in the Succubus Hall.
"Lord Xixi, the Lord has requested your presence. Could you please go to the study?"
"Now?"
"Yes."
"Alright." Hearing the maid say so, Ye Chuan walked towards Kaiaolen's room. Although the manor was large, the rooms everyone stayed in weren't far apart. The study, in particular, was practically just around the corner.
"Another day in the Aether Continent, but I feel like I'm forgetting something." Just as Ye Chuan was tilting his head in thought, a burst of noisy voices came from Kaiaolen's room.
"I absolutely will not allow it!"
"That weird guy actually makes Miss Elara call him 'Teacher' constantly and acts so intimately!"
Hmm?
Are they talking about me?
Ye Chuan pushed open the door and found Kaiaolen sitting behind his desk. Standing in front of him was a girl with a red ponytail, dressed in a leather vest and wearing various strange gemstone rings on her hands.
The girl looked very heroic and beautiful, but her words were exceptionally irritable. At this moment, she was slamming her hand on Kaiaolen's desk.
"Ah, you're here." Kaiaolen seemed to breathe a sigh of relief the moment he saw Ye Chuan.
"Huh?" The girl also turned to look. Upon seeing Ye Chuan, she said, "Is it him?"
"Yes, he is Xixi Chinayega," Kaiaolen introduced. "From a distant kingdom."
"You're that Xixi who's really good at space magic?" The girl strode over to Ye Chuan and looked him up and down.
"Not just space magic," Ye Chuan said. He didn't recognize the person in front of him, so he tilted his head to look at Kaiaolen.
"Little Dragon Man, who is she?"
Kaiaolen had long since gotten used to Ye Chuan's rude tone, so he introduced her, "She is Aurora, my granddaughter. She's also a fifth-tier Flame Mage and the Captain of the Miral Magic Corps."
"Oh," Ye Chuan responded, then added, "You sure have a lot of granddaughters."
"Granddaughter on my daughter's side!!!"
"Hey Xixi, why did you become Elara's teacher?"
"Your grandpa asked me to," Ye Chuan said.
"T-Then can't you refuse? I won't allow Elara to learn magic from a mage of unknown origin," Aurora patted her chest and said to Kaiaolen, "Am I not good enough? I'm a high-tier mage!"
Kaiaolen looked like he had a headache.
"What can a flame mage like you teach? Besides, with your temper, what if you lead Elara astray?"
"Elara is so well-behaved and cute. If she turns into a second Aurora..."
Old Man Kaiaolen held his head directly, revealing a painful expression.
"Hah?! Grandpa, what do you mean? What do you mean 'turn into a second Aurora'?!" Aurora seemed triggered. She pointed directly at Ye Chuan.
"I want to compete in magic with him!"
"This..." Kaiaolen was stunned. "Are you... serious?"
"That's right! Since we are both fifth-tier mages, let's have a match! If he loses, he can't be Elara's teacher!"
Fifth-tier?
Ye Chuan crossed his arms. *Do you have some misunderstanding about me?*
*I can instantly kill eighth-tiers.*
*I can instantly kill your grandpa too.*
"Uh, Xixi?" Kaiaolen asked for Ye Chuan's opinion.
"I don't really care... but what if you lose?" Ye Chuan asked Aurora.
e, Immortal Body, Transmigration, System, Progression Fantasy, Academy Setting, Third-Person Perspective. Alternate Title: Transmigrating into a High Martial World and Reading Live Comments. Bad news: I transmigrated. This is a terrifying high-martial world, and my original, pathetically weak body fell into a coma and never woke up. Good news: I got a Popularity Points system upon arrival. I can see live comments and even create an unkillable alternate identity. Starting out, the alternate identity has all stats at 1. The system tells me that to grow stronger, I must participate in the plot, gain popularity points to allocate stats and grow stronger, and ultimately awaken my original body.

Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."

ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter.
