He is currently in the Dragon Clan and has married Erii.

On a sunny afternoon, Tang Yu gently held Erii's small hand, and the two strolled along the tree-lined paths of Kassel College.

At this moment, Tang Yu and Erii had become elders of the academy, legendary dragon slayers! The students bowed respectfully to the two of them, their eyes filled with reverence.

When Tang Yu led Erii to the vicinity of the Hall of Heroes, where the ashes of past dragon slayers were kept, Tang Yu felt a jolt as if he had been electrocuted, and then he stopped in his tracks.

In that brief moment, Tang Yu suddenly recalled a conversation he had with Iska decades ago…

In the long course of my life, there are still two unsolved questions waiting there!

"Ayu, what's wrong?" Erii asked with concern, holding Tang Yu's hand.

Decades have not left any marks on Erii's pretty face; she remains as gentle and beautiful as when we first met.

"It's nothing..." Tang Yu forced a smile and patted Erii's hand. "I just suddenly remembered some things from the past! Let's keep going!"

Erii showed no intention of continuing.

After decades of living and working together, Eri had long been able to read things from Tang Yu's expressions.

"Ayu, are you hiding something from me?" Erii glared at Tang Yu, her puffed-up face looking rather adorable, like a pufferfish!

When Erii throws a tantrum, Tang Yu is completely helpless! So, Tang Yu has no choice but to tell Erii the truth.

"Ayu..." After listening to Tang Yu's story, Erii gently took Tang Yu's hand with a tender expression.

"If you've made up your mind, then go for it! As your wife, I will always support any idea you have!"

------------

272 The Promise of That Year

"As expected, my little darling understands me best!" Tang Yu reached out and pinched Erii's cheek. "Eri, I promise you... I will definitely return safely!"

"I believe you." Erii gently kissed Tang Yu's forehead, her little monster's wine-red eyes sparkling. "From the very first time we met, I've always believed in you!"

After receiving Erii's blessing, Tang Yu felt as if he was enveloped in a buff called "pink romance".

With the buff, Tang Yu felt his whole body brimming with power!

In the blink of an eye, the sun was setting, and the afternoon had passed quickly!

In the middle of the night, after tidying up the blankets for the sleeping Erii, Tang Yu went to the rooftop of the dormitory building alone.

He sat cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed, then immersed his consciousness into his mental space.

Tang Yu and Iska are about to fulfill the promise they made decades ago!

……

"Tang Yu, you're here!" Iska in the mental space was idly playing with her dragon claws, seemingly not at all surprised by Tang Yu's sudden entry!

"You're always all lovey-dovey with your wife, what brings you to visit this old man today?" Iska rolled her eyes at Tang Yu.

"You call yourself an old man?" Tang Yu rolled his eyes at Iska in return.

“I’ve never seen an old man who can roam the world all day long! I remember… ever since you discovered that you could project your consciousness onto Tutankhamun’s mask, you’ve been roaming the world every day!”

"Your energy is unlike that of an old man who would fall apart at the slightest touch!"

"Was that what I called promiscuous?" Iska was embarrassed by Tang Yu's words and began to stubbornly defend himself.

“I called it visiting friends! I just went to see Norton and Constantine yesterday!”

"How have those two guys been lately?" Tang Yu asked softly.

"It's more than just good! The two of them are doing incredibly well! Norton is now in finance on Wall Street, and he's practically an oligarch now!"

"Constantine went to the Middle East and got into the oil business! When I went to see him, that guy was dealing with a huge order for hundreds of thousands of barrels of crude oil..."

Tang Yu: "..."

These two guys are doing so well, it's simply outrageous!

"Have you gone to see Chu Zihang and Xia Mi?" Tang Yu asked again.

“Of course I’ve been there!” Iska nodded. “Ever since the Black King’s complete demise, the curse he left on the twins has been gradually fading!”

"After such a long time, Fenrir's intelligence is slowly recovering! Now... His intelligence should be about that of a teenager!"

"I reckon that at this time, Xia Mi is probably still having a headache over her brother!"

"Headache? What do you mean?" Tang Yu scratched his head, somewhat puzzled.

"It's exactly what it sounds like!" Iska said with a twisted smile. "That Fenrir guy got corrupted by Lu Mingfei, or as they say now... a 'net addict'!"

"That guy stays home all the time, either watching anime or staying up all night playing video games! He's practically ruined his life..."

"Fenrir is driving Xia Mi, his sister, crazy! I heard from Chu Zihang that Xia Mi is contacting a professor who calls himself a 'Magnetic Storm Infantryman' to give Fenrir a shock!"

"Let's observe three seconds of silence for the Magnetic Storm Infantryman! Let's hope he doesn't get slapped to death by Fenrir..." Tang Yu had already foreseen the fate of that Magnetic Storm Infantryman.

After talking about their long-lost friend, Tang Yu and Iska fell into an eerie silence.

After a long while, Iska stared intently at Tang Yu, a strange light flashing in his dragon eyes.

"Tang Yu, you came to see me this time... is it because of that promise we made decades ago?"

Tang Yu was slightly taken aback, then nodded.

"I've already told Erii about this, and she supports me in doing it! Once I find the answers to those two questions... I can finally travel the world with my little monster without worry!"

"If one day we get tired of staying on Earth, with our current physical abilities, it's not impossible for us to travel through the stars in our physical form!" Tang Yu began to dream about his future life.

"Is going abroad not enough for you? You're even thinking about playing football now!" Iscaron said with a smile.

"If you want to go to space, I can lend you my Star Authority! It's not very useful on Earth, but it's incredibly powerful in outer space!" Iska boasted.

"We'll talk about it later... That's enough for our chat. It's getting late, let's get down to business!" Tang Yu's expression turned serious.

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Isca said something that could be misunderstood, but his body was already moving very honestly.

Multicolored streams of light emanated from the gaps in Iska's scales, and these streams of light seemed to have a life of their own, surrounding Tang Yu and Iska.

As time went by, the colorful streams of light gathered more and more, eventually forming a huge alchemical array.

Countless obscure symbols flowed within, and just one glance made Tang Yu feel a headache coming on.

This level of knowledge is completely beyond his comprehension!

"Tang Yu, take this opportunity to hold your breath and concentrate, sink your consciousness into the depths of your soul, and then try to touch that golden light!" Iska's voice reached Tang Yu's ears.

Tang Yu felt a chill run down his spine. He quickly sat cross-legged and entered a state of tranquility.

Close your eyes, and all you see is darkness.

But as distracting thoughts were gradually eliminated, the darkness before my eyes slowly receded.

The darkness gradually dissipated, and in its place came a faint but clear light!

With the help of the Iska alchemical array, Tang Yu once again successfully glimpsed the depths of his own soul.

This place hasn't changed much compared to decades ago.

In the milky-white space, only three things existed: a bright blue sphere of light, a dim green sphere of light, and a shimmering golden sphere of light…

The three orbs of light each occupied a piece of land, without encroaching on each other's territory.

Perhaps sensing Tang Yu's consciousness entering, both the water elemental authority and the incomplete wind elemental authority released a faint sense of intimacy.

This was to express their welcome to Tang Yu, their cheap master.

Of the three orbs of light, only the shining golden orb remained completely still!

Tang Yu bent down and tentatively poked the golden ball of light with his fingertip.

------------

273 Another Time Travel

Unsurprisingly, the ball of light did not react at all.

Over the next period of time, Tang Yu tried various methods to stimulate the golden orb of light.

These methods include, but are not limited to, mental contact, soul contact, violent slamming, biting...

After trying several methods, the ball of light remained unmoved; it didn't even change the frequency or intensity of its light emission in the slightest!

"I'm saying... at least give me some face, or at least give me some reaction!" Tang Yu said helplessly, dropping the golden orb in his hand.

Tang Yu had absolutely no way to deal with this stubborn person!

"Speaking of which... could this thing just be for show?" This thought suddenly popped into Tang Yu's mind.

But Tang Yu immediately rejected this idea.

After all, the scene of Black King being instantly killed back then is still vivid in our minds! Such a powerful being could not possibly be just a decoration!

Just as Tang Yu was at his wit's end, the golden sphere suddenly moved slightly!

Although the sphere of light swayed very slightly, it did not escape Tang Yu's notice.

"Did you just move it?!" Tang Yu stared at the golden ball of light in front of him with a murderous look in his eyes.

For some reason, after staring at it for a while, Tang Yu actually felt a little embarrassed by the ball of light...

Am I going crazy?

Tang Yu fell into self-doubt.

After a long while, Tang Yu suddenly realized: "It has emotional reactions... Could this thing have intelligence?"

Tang Yu's eyes widened in surprise at his own guess!

For a long time afterward, Tang Yu conducted various experiments on the golden sphere to verify his conjecture.

In the end, Tang Yu could be 100% certain that the thing in front of him did indeed possess intelligence, and a very high level of intelligence at that!

After obtaining this result, Tang Yu dared not do anything more to the golden orb, for who knows if it would hold a grudge?

Tang Yu carefully placed the ball of light on the ground, then squatted down and spoke to it in a sincere tone:

"Although I don't yet know what you really are... I do know that you brought me into this world!"

"Now, all I want to know is why you chose me? And... where do you come from?"
