Chloe nodded, indicating that she understood.

He looked at Laura and said:

"Senior, thank you for your help. I'll treat you to a meal when I get back."

Laura shrugged and said:

"You treating me to a meal is not as good as telling me a story when you return."

Chloe laughed and said:

"Alright, and also..."

"Hmm?"

"I'm very happy you made it through, Senior."

Laura was taken aback for a moment and said self-deprecatingly:

"You really are... even worried about me."

She knew what Chloe was referring to.

Morton and Noding, as her good friends, passed away one after another, leaving a scar on her heart that couldn't heal.

She originally wanted to set aside her dreams to avenge her friend.

But Chloe retrieved Noding's remaining soul, and before leaving, Noding hoped she could pursue her own dreams.

This made her relinquish the crazy thoughts that had once arisen.

"Don't worry, I know they wouldn't want to see me trapped in anger."

Laura lit a cigarette.

But Chloe reached out and snuffed out the cigarette butt, saying:

"So, leave this matter to the professionals; killing the Evil God's Followers should be left to them."

"Tsk, tsk."

Laura said nothing more, turning her head and throwing the pack of cigarettes into the trash can, saying:

"Then I'll look forward to the arrogant junior helping this poor Senior settle the score."

Chloe chuckled and said:

"It's alright, the bill the Void Erosion Sect has with me isn't small."

Chloe said nothing more, turning his head and heading towards the Maze's teleportation gate under the principal's guidance.

…

Maze Teleportation Gate.

Alfredo looked at Chloe and said:

"Take care inside, your gifts allow you to avoid many taboos, but you must be cautious."

"Mm, thank you, Principal, for choosing to believe in me."

Alfredo smiled and said:

"Your actions earned my approval."

Chloe said nothing more and turned to step deep into the teleportation gate.

Alfredo watched Chloe's figure disappear into the teleportation gate, then turned back and said:

"He's a good child, isn't he?"

In the shadows.

One figure after another stepped out.

They were a group of white-haired elders.

Looking at their hunched forms, they seemed like candles flickering in the wind, ready to extinguish with a gust.

As they watched the young boy disappear into the Maze's teleportation gate, waves of hearty laughter burst forth.

"Kid, who'd have thought after so many years, you'd become the principal."

"Is this the apprentice of the post-era? Stronger than I was back in the day."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, placing many restrictions on your body, waiting for some unlucky fool to walk into the trap?"

Alfredo sighed helplessly and said:

"Then I'll leave the children's affairs to you seniors."

The group of elders laughed heartily.

"Alright, enough with the talk, we sealed our remains to this era just to leave some legacy for you."

"Is that kid reliable? If he can't resolve the issue, perhaps I should step in."

"No worries, keep a backup plan. If he can walk through, then help pave the way for him."

"Haha, after many years, we can finally wrestle with the gods again."

"Nonsense, there was no Divine War in your era."

"Scram, scram, do you love exposing me that much?"

Under Alfredo's calm gaze, the elders representing the Ethereal Emblem heritage stepped into the depths of the Maze.

Mephisto appeared by Alfredo's side at some unknown time, saying:

"How certain are you that the depths of this Maze are the site of that ancient war?"

"Not very certain," Alfredo shook his head, "but let's not forget, the Ethereal Emblem remains on the Stars Continent for a reason."

"We hope everything goes as we wish; otherwise, those old folks will die in vain.

From the moment they left the Heroic Spirit Monument, their previously halted time would march forward again, and who knows how many will exhaust their last bit of vitality, finally perishing in the Maze."

Alfredo remained silent.

The elders willing to enter the Heroic Spirit Monument were the original faculty of the Ethereal Emblem.

Fighting on the front line against the Evil God's Followers until the last moment, these elders chose to return to the Ethereal Emblem, using the extraordinary artifact [Heroic Spirit Monument] to freeze their souls and bodies.

The next awakening would be the moment they burned their embers to fight.

There are usually only a few scenarios when elders are needed to come out of retirement.

The first is encountering an Evil God Organization that needs immediate eradication, and the school cannot muster a retaliatory force.

The second is when the Ethereal Emblem faces a mortal crisis, requiring them to fight for future generations.

But this time, it's the third kind.

Following the King of Redemption's prophecy, assisting the new Guardians in eliminating the world's calamities.

[When the Red Moon rises again, the Watchers shall step into the depths of darkness, and the shattered history shall return to its course, and the origin of darkness shall once again sleep]

This was the prophecy left to that generation of Ethereal Emblem administrators by the King of Redemption when he left the Stars Continent.

Over the years, Alfredo had smelled the early signs of turmoil on the continent.

He had a premonition.

The Evil God's claws lurked in the depths of darkness, thriving on malice for years.

Perhaps they felt they had accumulated enough and wished to step back into the spotlight.

But Alfredo wanted them to remain dormant, never to rise again.

"Chloe, no, former hero, if it's you..."

He turned to look at the twisted teleportation gate, slowly closing his eyes.

"Mephisto, initiate the super-summoning ceremony to welcome the divine avatar left by Olivia."

Olivia.

Also the founder of the Ethereal Emblem.

She was a great entity who ventured into the depths of the stars alongside the King of Redemption.

Also, by the end of the Era of Turmoil, she was recognized as the strongest Mage on the Stars Continent.

The Tower Spirit of the Ethereal Emblem was upgraded and transformed from the Tower Spirit left by Olivia.

Even today, the treasures left by this strongest Mage remain one of the most important assets of the Ethereal Emblem.

It's also the most effective means against Angel Class.

And now.

The Ethereal Emblem has already gone into first-level combat readiness unbeknownst to Chloe.

Alfredo turned his head and looked toward the corner, saying softly:

"Nini, what are you doing hiding here?"

Behind the flower pot.

The Treasure Elf Nini crouched defensively, trying to make Alfredo ignore her presence.

What could Alfredo say?

Nini's elf wings were sticking out beyond the pot.

"Nini, I see you."

"No, you didn't see me."

"But I really did."

"I said you didn't see me, so you didn't!"

Nini flew out angrily, tugging on Alfredo's beard.

The next moment, Nini widened her eyes and said:

"Huh? Mephisto, what's wrong with you?"

Alfredo instinctively turned his head away.

At this moment.

The Treasure Elf had already darted lightning-fast into the Teleportation Gate.

Alfredo glanced at Mephisto.

Mephisto sighed and said:

"If you wanted to let her in, just let her in, why use me as an excuse?"

Alfredo snorted coldly and said:

"I really didn't notice."

"Sure, sure, I believe you."

A guy who deliberately stayed as a demigod, waiting to trap some old immortal, can't catch a Sequence Six Treasure Elf?

Are you joking with me?

...

Location: Fantasy Association

Miseria, holding a big stack of papers, knocked on the office door and said:

"Lilith, lend me a hand, I can't open the door!"

However.

After a long while, no one opened the door.

Miseria frowned.

She originally wanted a certain lazybones always in the boss chair to get up and open the door.

But it seems Lilith is not here now?

"Strange, she would usually be in the office at this time."

However.

When she used Fantasy Power to turn the doorknob, she found the boss chair facing the window, back toward the door.

One could vaguely see Lilith's long hair cascading down the armrest.

Miseria said helplessly:

"Why aren't you answering when you're in the room? Don't tell me you're now too lazy even to get up and open the door?"

However, what answered Miseria was a long silence.

She put down the document and walked forward.

Only to find Lilith breathing softly, appearing as if she was asleep.

"Huh? Asleep?"

Miseria was briefly stunned.

She was about to cover the big lazybones with a blanket.

It was just a moment later that she sensed something was off.

On Lilith's forehead.

A red jewel was faintly glowing.

"Lilith?"

Feeling something amiss, Miseria nudged Lilith, only to discover she seemed to be in a death-like slumber with no sign of waking.

Just as she grew anxious, a cold and solemn voice spoke:

"Leave her to me, there won't be any issues."

Miseria's heart skipped a beat.

She hadn't sensed anyone approaching.

Looking up, she saw a man standing behind her.

"Uncle Charles!" Miseria exclaimed in surprise, "Lilith seems to have issues again."

Charles moved forward without saying much, simply picking Lilith up, saying:

"She's fine, just doing what she must do."

"But she..."

"Don't worry, child, Lilith just needs to have a sufficiently long dream."

Though still puzzled, Miseria nodded.

Charles disappeared from the Fantasy Association with his daughter in his arms.

When he reappeared, he was in Mayer Floating City.

He laid Lilith down on a bed, turned to instruct the maids to take care of her, and then set off to Mayer Mage Tower.

"Is it finally starting? My shameless and lowdown good brother, I somewhat regret it; had I known, I should have slapped you back then."

...

At the same time.

In the Maze.

Following a brilliant flash, everything returned to calm.

Chloe only felt the vast power within him gradually settling.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in an alley emitting a strange odor.

He felt his PTSD acting up.

Come on, guys.

Why am I back in the slums again?

He couldn't decide whether to laugh or cry.

During the Age of the Seven Heroes, it was like this.

In reality, it was like this.

And still like this upon entering historical echoes again.

Is there really no other choice?

He quickly calmed down.

What he needed to focus on now was where Rephya ran off to.
