Moreover, this world lacks a data-driven system, making it difficult to accurately assess one's own strength. That's why Esther asked Birlan for help.
"Hiss... inside your body..."
Bierlan's face showed an incredulous expression. She detected a completely incomprehensible power in Estia, and most importantly, this power was so strong that it made her soul tremble.
"I'm sorry... I can't judge the strength of this power, because it's beyond my knowledge."
"What? It's that powerful?"
"How about we have a match to test your strength?"
As a Grand Magister, Birlan's strength is among the best in the continent of Faya, so testing her strength through a duel is feasible.
Fighting within the barrier she sets up will be completely inaudible to those outside.
"Okay, I'll try to use this power. Although it flows through my body, I still find it difficult to control."
Estia got into position, releasing the extra power within her, but before she could make any move, she heard Birlan shout, "Stop! Stop!"
"Huh?"
When Estia looked, she found that Birlan was kneeling on the ground, with sweat constantly sliding down his cheeks, and he looked very weak.
"This level of suppression... Estya, your power could easily kill anyone in this world."
"What??"
"No one in this world can withstand such power. Even when I use all my strength, I cannot withstand it for even a second."
"No way... Is it really as miraculous as you say?"
“Yes, God, you’re right, this is divine power…”
Suddenly, Birlan understood; she knew what the power within Estya was.
"Estella, this really seems to be divine power."
"You mean to say..."
A bead of cold sweat appeared on Estia's forehead. She couldn't believe the possibility; it was simply unbelievable. How could this be...?
Suddenly, the image of a white-haired girl flashed through her mind.
Cold!!
How could she not know Ling, having recalled her memories of her past life?!
The strange girl I met in the imperial city twenty years ago was not a bad person at all, but Ling!
At that time, Ling injected something into her body; now it seems, could it be...?
Without hesitation, Esther told Biellan about her encounter with Ling.
"I need to go to the capital now; I need to find Ling."
"Calm down, Esther, what are the chances that Ling is still there?"
Twenty years have passed, and there has been no news of the white-haired girl in those twenty years. Birlan doesn't believe Ling will remain in the capital; in fact, she pessimistically thinks that when Estia first met Ling, Ling was already on the verge of death, and now…
"In any case, our current goal is to find a way to go back to the past and to resist the invasion of this world by the future world of the calamity star."
"Yes... We also need to protect this world, otherwise if it is destroyed again, I'm not sure if we can still exist."
“In that case,” Estia’s eyes were filled with determination, “I will integrate all the forces in this world and then strive to develop our combat power.”
“Estella…”
“I possess divine power, and no one can defy my will… Although they wouldn’t believe me if I told them the world would face a crisis in the future, it doesn’t matter. Although this world is peaceful, its ability to handle crises will become weaker and weaker as time goes by.”
Estia had figured out what to do. Peace was not enough; the most important thing was to develop combat power, such as achieving breakthroughs in magic and mechanical technology, and adding as much power as possible before the future crisis arrived.
Chapter 273, page 258: This dragon girl's art style is off.
"Estella, are you really sure about this?"
"Yes, I want to be the leader of this world, to rule over all the races of the entire Faya world, and to make sure they obey my commands."
Estya's idea is no different from becoming the world's ruler.
But she happens to have that kind of ability.
Will you come with me, Birlan?
"Hehe, of course."
With the help of the Archmage, things will proceed much more smoothly.
Estya's primary goal is to talk to her mother, Neytisa, and get her to hand over the rule of the dragon race to her.
This is a last resort; although it is very radical, it is the most suitable way to deal with the end-of-life crisis.
At the same time, thinking of Netissa's identity in the previous world, a sense of vigilance rose in Estia's heart. Netissa was on the side of the Calamity Star, and the previous world was destroyed by the Calamity Star. If that's the case, is Netissa in this world just an ordinary dragon, or...?
In short, Esther was on high alert, ready to deal with any sudden danger.
"My dear daughter, what's wrong with you?"
When Neytissa saw Estia again, she immediately stood up from the chair she was sitting in.
In just half a day, her daughter's demeanor had undergone a dramatic change. The original cuteness and innocence were gone, replaced by a calm and serious demeanor, as if she had fought her way out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
"Mother."
The fact that Esther used the term "mother" instead of "Netissa Mama" signifies a change in her attitude.
"Estella?"
Neytissa called her daughter's name with some uncertainty.
Seeing the puzzled expression on the silver dragon woman's face, Esther suddenly felt a lump in her throat and, under the surprised gaze of Birlan beside her, threw herself into Netissa's arms.
Regardless of whether she and Neytissa will break up after their confrontation, the Neytissa she sees now is the Neytissa mother who loves her the most.
In her past life, from birth to adulthood, she was never accompanied by Netissa. She sought revenge against the human empire in solitude, and then lived a life of idleness and waiting for death in the Netherworld Dragon Abyss for nearly a thousand years. During this time, she never received Netissa's warm embrace.
Ironically, after the destruction of the previous world, the familial love she lacked since childhood was made up for in this new world. For nearly thirty years since her birth, Neytissa has been with her through almost every day and month, witnessed the changing of the four seasons, and done everything a mother and daughter could do.
So Esther couldn't bear it, and at the same time, she was worried about what to do if Netissa was also bad and from the side of the calamity.
Sensing her daughter's emotional fluctuations, Neytisa stroked her head with a puzzled expression: "Daughter, although I don't know what happened, have you forgotten? You should tell me if anything is bothering you."
"Okay, you guys chat first, I'll go stand outside for a bit."
Bierlan didn't want to stay here any longer. Even if something unexpected happened later, her strength was no match for Estia's current abilities, so she couldn't be of much help.
As Esther's friend in both worlds, Birlan knows this silver dragon girl inside and out, knowing how much loneliness and pain Esther experienced due to the lack of family affection.
Actually, she always felt that letting Esther regain her memories was a mistake, because this new world was wonderful for Esther. Although there would be an end-of-day crisis in the future, every minute and every second before the end-of-day crisis was a happiness that Esther would never have experienced in her previous life.
To be destroyed in happiness, or to find hope in sorrow—how should one choose between these two?
Now, however, there is no need to make a choice. Having regained her memories, Esther has a new concern: a human girl named Ye Qingxian. Although that human is dead, she hopes that she will not be completely forgotten.
If time travel were truly possible, then everything could still be saved.
Inside the room, Estia began explaining to Netissa. She first explained the situation of her past life to Netissa, while secretly observing what connection Netissa had with her past life.
After learning about Neytisa's past life, Esther couldn't fully trust her.
Feeling the suspicious look in her daughter's eyes and hearing the seemingly unbelievable information, Neytisa initially thought it was a prank by Estia. However, after inviting Birlan in from outside the door and confirming with her, she realized that it was all true.
“Mother, a peaceful world is not enough, so I hope to further integrate the power of this world.”
What do you want to do?
"..."
Estia closed her eyes, recalling what Ye Qingxian had told her about the things the federal government on Earth had done.
In the past, the distribution of resources on Earth was always a problem. The rich got richer and the poor got poorer. The rich could use their wealth to seek power, and the powerful could use their power to seek wealth.
In fact, this is also true on the continent of Faya; it is an inevitable part of human nature.
This results in most of the wealth and resources being in the hands of a small number of people, and human wisdom cannot be fully utilized.
For example, a child with exceptional thinking abilities born in a slum might, if educated, gain knowledge that could benefit human scientific progress, but in reality, he might starve to death due to poverty before he even grows up.
Similarly, those geniuses who are born with talent in certain fields, if they come from poor backgrounds, then sorry, the opportunity to discover their talent? They simply don't get that opportunity.
Therefore, if wealth and resources can be allocated rationally, the probability of "geniuses" emerging can be increased, thereby promoting the progress of the entire world.
"We must start with education, ensuring that all eligible members of all races receive an education."
"Then we can encourage people to invent and create through subsidies, which will accelerate the development of the Faya continent."
Neytisa and Birlan were stunned after hearing what Esther said.
"Where did you get this idea from?" Neytissa asked.
"Xiao Ye told me that our Faya continent has a feudal system, which is not suitable for long-term development."
Speaking of Xiao Ye, Esther's mood became heavy again.
This was originally just something the two lovers chatted about, complaining about the irrationality of each other's world, but unexpectedly it has now become an asset to her.
Unexpectedly, as time passed, even the chance to sit under a tree and chat with Ye Qingxian became a fantasy.
Unless she could change time, she could not change the fact that her loved one had passed away.
"Who is Xiao Ye?"
Neytisa seemed to have no idea who Ye Qingxian was.
However, Bierlan had a new opinion of Ye Qingxian. She didn't expect that although Ye Qingxian's strength was weak, her thinking was very... avant-garde.
She was a wise and knowledgeable archmage, and after considering Esther's ideas, she found them to be reasonable and feasible.
