The Path to Godhood Begins from the Otherworld

After all, in the original work of Majutsu no Sekai, Maya Yotsuba has a blood relationship with the absolute protagonist Tatsuya Shiba.

With these three thousand world origin points, he was undoubtedly more confident in fooling Shiye Yuanzao.

Thanks to the existence of the [Fantasy Exchange] function in the World Tree Terminal, Luo Shu had more than enough money to exchange three thousand World Origin Points for a magic that could "predict the future."

For example, the mysterious skill of [Future Vision] in the Type-Moon world, even if the initial rating is A-level, only requires one thousand World Origin Points to redeem.

After all, [Future Vision] only allows you to see the vague future in the near future, but it cannot clearly point to a specific time, place, or person.

The magic of "predicting the future" that Luo Shu made up himself can at least clearly identify the specific year and related people.

As for why Luo Shu deliberately made his magic of "predicting the future" unable to point to specific events, it was to make the magic of "predicting the future" imperfect.

As for imperfect magic, it is real enough.

Although the existence of magic itself has nothing to do with reality.

But who can blame it for the fact that in the Molie worldview system, magic does exist.

Since magic exists, it is reasonable for the seemingly powerful magic of "predicting the future" to exist. It is naturally more reasonable for this powerful magic to have drawbacks.

Luo Shu knew very well that for people in the world of magic, reasonable but imperfect magic was far more credible than perfect magic.

If Luo Shu had accurately mentioned in the information implanted in Yotsuba Genzo by [World Invasion] at the beginning that in 2062 Yotsuba Maya would be violently abducted by what force and with what means and cause a mental breakdown, Yotsuba Genzo probably would not have gone out with his two daughters in 2062.

Precisely because the information that Luo Shu implanted into Yotsuba Genzo through [World Invasion] was incomplete in itself, this "non-existent memory" did not seem too inconsistent to him.

Don't forget that the Yotsuba family itself is a famous magic family in the magical world, famous for its expertise in spiritual wide-range magic.

In the demonic world, the Yotsuba family possesses the magical transformation technology that can transform people's "memories" into "knowledge" by "interfering with the mind".

Anyone in the Yotsuba family who has the adaptability to wide-range psychic magic has the highest sensitivity to memory in the world of magic.

As the head of the Yotsuba family at this time, it goes without saying that Yotsuba Genzo's attainments in spiritual magic are even far higher than those of Yotsuba Shinya, who is only 12 years old at this time in the year 2062 in the Demonic World.

Therefore, Luo Shu had no intention of making Yotsuba Motozo trust him completely based on the information implanted by [World Invasion], because the World Tree Society he compiled only had a reasonable connection with the Yotsuba family, and it did not mean that he personally had the credibility to make Yotsuba Motozo or even the Yotsuba family he led fully trust him.

Luo Shu understood very well that if he wanted to increase Yotsuba Genzo's trust in him and raise the credibility rating of the entire Yotsuba family in the World Tree Society, he could only do it step by step.

It is precisely because Luo Shu implanted the "memory of non-existence" into Yotsuba Genzo through [World Invasion] that he only mentioned that his "predictive future" magic saw the possible future in 2062, but did not clearly state that the future he saw was only the future of 2062.

Therefore, when Yotsuba Genzo heard the deep meaning of what Luo Shu said and emphasized that he was not joking, even though he was suspicious, he couldn't help feeling nervous.

After all, past mistakes are lessons for future ones.

Yotsuba Genzo was not sure that Luo Shu's "predicting the future" had come true once for his two daughters, so was the other future that he did not tell him two years ago also related to his two daughters? If so, would it come true a second time?

The first time Luo Shu's "prediction of the future" came true, Yotsuba Genzo could convince himself that it was just a coincidence.

However, Yotsuba Genzo really didn't dare to gamble whether Luo Shu's "foreknowledge of the future", which he had seen but didn't know about, would come true as expected.

Yotsuba Genzo knew very well that if Luo Shu had not acted in time three days ago, his two daughters would probably have met with an accident by now.

Thinking of this, even though Yotsuba Genzo was suspicious, he had to temporarily believe that Luo Shu did indeed master the magic of "predicting the future".

He couldn't help but believe it, because his two daughters were able to return to him thanks to Luo Shu's timely action three days ago.

Based on this point alone, it is difficult for Shiye Yuanzao to equate Luo Shu with those liars in history who claimed to have the superpower to predict the future.

With this in mind, Yotsuba Genzo could only speak with difficulty, "Mr. Luo, it's not that I don't want to believe you, but since magic appeared in this world and modern magic was established, no one in the world has mastered magic similar to 'predicting the future.'"

"Master Yotsuba, just because magic like 'predicting the future' doesn't exist in your world doesn't mean it doesn't exist in other worlds."

Luo Shu raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "It's like in this world, besides you and Shen Ye Zhen Ye, who else knows that I'm a magician from another world?"

After saying that, Luo Shu snapped his fingers, and in front of Yotsuba Genzo's incredulous gaze, a black smoke screen appeared out of thin air.

"For example, can the head of the Yotsuba family sense the energy fluctuations of Xiangzi from the technique I activated?"

"Is this magic?" Yotsuba Genzo's eyes widened as he looked at the black smoke swirling around Luo Shu, a trace of horror on his face. "Can magic be cast without consuming thought particles?"

"Of course this is magic." Luo Shu shrugged, then dispersed the [Smokescreen Spell (D)]. He was somewhat thankful that the magic of the Demonic World was below the Etheric Spell System and the Magic Element System in the mysterious system, otherwise he really wouldn't be able to cast magic in the Demonic World without consuming "thought seeds".

However, ether energy clearly exists in the demonic world, but why is the modern magic system of this world still based on the extremely low energy foundation of the mysterious "Thought Son"?

Luo Shu didn't understand it, he could only attribute it to the fact that the Magic World itself was a derivative world of the novel. The author Zuo Daoqin's settings on magic were transformed into the rules of the Magic World, which led to the existence of only the "Thinking Magic System" in this world.

"Is it extra-system magic? Or non-system magic? No, even if it's non-system or extra-system magic, it can't be activated without consuming the magician's thoughts."

Yotsuba Genzo felt that the common sense of modern magic that he had long accepted was completely overturned by the magic performed by Luo Shu. He looked at Luo Shu with a complicated look. After calming himself down, he spoke in a hoarse voice,

"Red bean paste, you Marseille, Mr. Luo, please forgive my previous rude behavior due to my lack of knowledge."

"No problem." Luo Shu looked at Yotsuba Motozo, who was arrogant at first but respectful later, with a hint of contempt in his eyes. After all, he already knew the characteristics of the Japanese people who 'know small etiquette but lack great righteousness, and are particular about small matters but lack great virtues'.

He simply pointed at his cold tea and gave a meaningful smile, "It's just that I'm a little thirsty now. If you don't mind, could you please help me make a cup of hot tea again, Master Yotsuba?"

Chapter 18: Yotsuba's Change of Mind Late at Night

"Look, it's all my fault." Yotsuba Genzo no longer dared to question the authenticity of Luo Shu's mastery of the magic of "predicting the future." Hearing this, he hurriedly got back to work, "I was so busy chatting that I didn't even notice the tea was cold."

At this moment, he was truly in awe of Luo Shu from the bottom of his heart.

According to what Yotsuba told her late at night about the experiences of the two sisters three days ago.

Of course, Yotsuba hid the fact that she and her sister went to the world where Luo Shu was late at night.

Yotsuba Motozo learned from the eyewitness report of the members of Team B of the Fuso delegation who were present at the time that the mysterious man who took his two daughters away while surrounded by attackers in strange black armor was covered in black smoke.

Based on his eldest daughter Siye's explanation late at night, he already knew that the mysterious man was Luo Shu.

In addition, Luo Shu can now cast magic spells without consuming "thought seeds", without chanting, and without the help of CAD, he can instantly create a "smoke screen" out of thin air. This point alone is enough to prove that Luo Shu does indeed possess the magical knowledge and technology of the other world that has never been mentioned in modern magic theory.

Even if he discovers in the future that Luo Shu's magic of "predicting the future" is fake, the mere fact that Luo Shu may possess knowledge of magic from another world already makes him of great value for the Yotsuba family to win him over.

The reason why Yotsuba Genzo let Yotsuba Maya marry into the Nanakusa family was essentially to strengthen the strength of the Yotsuba family.

After all, in this new era after the birth of magic, the potential value of a magical knowledge system that is very different from the modern magical system is immeasurable.

When Yotsuba Genzo thought that if the Yotsuba family could really obtain the magical knowledge of the other world through Luo Shu, and even monopolize it, then the Yotsuba family's long-cherished wish of dominating the ten master clans and unifying the Fuso magic world might not be impossible to achieve, he suddenly felt that his long-dormant ambition, after more than ten years, was burning again.

Now, let alone Luo Shu asking Shiye Yuanzo to make a cup of fresh tea, even if Luo Shu asked him to give up the marriage with the Nanakusa family, as long as the knowledge of magic from the other world that he possessed was enough to impress him, Shiye Yuanzo probably would not have any hesitation.

For Yotsuba Motozo, as long as Luo Shu can make the Yotsuba family dominate the ten master clans and fulfill his lifelong dream of unifying the Fuso magic world, then even if Luo Shu proposes that his two daughters marry him together, it would not be a bad idea.

Luo Shu didn't know what Shiye Yuanzo was thinking at the moment, otherwise he would have agreed to Lao Deng's conditions on the spot.

The old man and the young boy, each with their own thoughts, began to drink tea and chat.

The atmosphere between the two of them changed from being heavy and gloomy to being light and bright.

After washing up and changing her clothes, Yotsuba Maya returned to the reception room. Seeing Luo Shu chatting and laughing with her father, she was stunned for a moment.

What's happening here?

How come the relationship between Luo Shunisan and his father suddenly became so harmonious?

Yotsuba Genzo naturally noticed the strange look Yotsuba Maya was giving him, but his face was already as thick as a city wall, and he didn't feel embarrassed at all. Instead, he said very enthusiastically, "Maya, you came at the right time. Come sit down and have a cup of tea with your Luo Shu."

"Yeah." Yotsuba Maya didn't understand why her father's attitude towards Luo Shu had become so... flattering. Yes, she actually didn't want to admit that she saw a hint of flattery on Yotsuba Genzo's face.

However, the expression on his father's face at this moment was exactly the same as the expression on the face of the heads of the branches of the Yotsuba family when they saw him representing the Yotsuba family to inspect the branches.

This completely shattered Yotsuba Maya's inherent perception that Yotsuba Genzo was "the absolute authority that cannot be resisted as the second daughter of the Yotsuba family."

Girls' minds mature early.

Especially Yotsuba Maya, who had just escaped a disaster and had a very intuitive and full understanding of the cruelty and danger of this world, her way of looking at the world completely changed.

When she saw the flattering expression on Yotsuba Genzo's old face, she suddenly felt that her previous self, the self who did not resist the fate arranged by the Yotsuba family, was very stupid.

At this moment, Yotsuba Maya's three views began to reshape themselves.

With mixed feelings, she came to sit next to Luo Shu.

At this moment, she had completely abandoned her reserve deep in her heart.

The so-called "Yamato Nadeshiko etiquette" that she was taught after the marriage between the Yotsuba family and the Nanakusa family, which stated that "as Nanakusa Hiroichi's fiancée, she should maintain the necessary social distance from other opposite sexes", no longer had authority and sacredness in her heart at this moment.

At this moment, Yotsuba Genzo's attention was all on Luo Shu, and he didn't notice at all that his daughter, as the fiancée of the next heir of the Nanakusa family, was sitting next to a person of the opposite sex, which was very inappropriate.

Of course, it is also possible that Yotsuba Genzo discovered it, but in order to obtain the magical knowledge from the other world that Luo Shu might have mastered, he finally chose to condone Yotsuba Maya's inappropriate behavior.

Luo Shu noticed that Yotsuba Genzo's attitude towards him had changed 180 degrees, and he also found that Yotsuba Maya's temperament had changed a little.

As for why Yotsuba Genzo changed his attitude, he roughly speculated that it was related to his own demonstration of "otherworldly magic".

However, he had no idea why Yotsuba Maya's temperament had changed.

However, he had a hunch that the change in Yotsuba Maya's temperament should be beneficial to him.

With this in mind, he picked up the teacup that had become piping hot again, took a sip, and said with emotion, "This is truly a good cup of tea, Yotsuba family master."

"So, it seems my tea art is still not rusty."

Yotsuba Genzo naturally didn't hear the sarcasm hidden in Luo Shu's words, a sarcasm that only Chinese people could understand. He thought Luo Shu was genuinely praising the taste of the tea, and with a hint of pride on his face, he said, "To be honest, it was I who personally introduced my two daughters to the art of tea."

"Maya, is this true?"

Luo Shu looked at the girl sitting cross-legged beside him with a somewhat surprised look, and asked jokingly, "I wonder if I have the honor to drink a cup of tea you brewed."

Yotsuba Maya was stunned when she heard this. She was about to speak, but she didn't expect Yotsuba Genzo to take the lead and agree on her behalf. "Maya, Luosang wants to observe your tea ceremony. It's your honor. Come over quickly."

When Yotsuba Maya heard her father, who usually was serious, had a hot temper and looked big and strong, say such flattering words like a toady, the last bit of respect she had for the father who made her proud in her past memories disappeared.

As a result, she found that she didn't seem to feel sad about it, but she just hated her past naive self more and more.

Yotsuba Maya suddenly felt relieved when she thought of this. She stood up gracefully and said, "I understand, father."

"Luosang, I need to go to Nanakusa's house to say hello, so I'll excuse myself first."

Yotsuba Genzo left the main seat, gave Luo Shu an apologetic smile, and then said to Yotsuba Maya with a serious expression, "Maya, Luo Sang is now in your care. You must treat him well, understand?"

"I will, father." Yotsuba Maya had a decent smile on her face as she watched Yotsuba Genzo leave. Her eyes were filled with undisguised contempt.

She immediately noticed Luo Shu's gaze, quickly came back to her senses, and gave her a sweet smile, "Nisan, why are you looking at me like that?"

"It's okay, I just feel a little emotional."

Luo Shu was impressed by how quickly the expressions of Siye and his daughter changed.

Chapter 19: She blacklisted her fiancé’s phone number

"What are you feeling?"

"nothing."

Hearing this, Luo Shu quickly collected his thoughts and gave her a gentle smile.

Then he remembered that he hadn't had dinner yet after school in the world he derived from, so he changed the subject and said, "I just suddenly remembered that I didn't seem to have had time to eat dinner before leaving the other world."

"Has Nissan not eaten dinner yet?" Upon hearing this, Yotsuba Maya quickly stood up and went to the side to get her phone. "I'll notify my sister and ask her to secretly send some food up."

"Why don't you just notify the hotel to deliver the food?"

"No, if that happens, wouldn't the news that Nissan and I returned to the hotel be exposed?"

"Didn't your father go to the Nanakusa family? Wouldn't he tell them about your return?"

"No." Yotsuba Maya answered with certainty, "I know my father. If he wanted to say something, he would have already told the Nanakusa family when he returned to the hotel late at night."

"Is that so? Then I'll have to trouble you late at night."

Luo Shu did not ask Yotsuba Maya how she concluded that Yotsuba Genzo would not disclose the news of her safe return to the Nanakusa family.

After all, it doesn't make sense.

Anyway, even if the Nanakusa family knew that Yotsuba Maya had returned safely, what could they say or do?

Luo Shu guessed that when the head of the Nanakusa family discovered that Nanakusa Hiroichi couldn't even protect his fiancée, he wished that Yotsuba Maya was really "missing".

After all, if the news got out that Nanakusa's fiancée was kidnapped in public and had no news for three days, Nanakusa's family would be really embarrassed.

As for why the Yotsuba family is not worried about losing face?

It's very simple, because after Yotsuba Genzo learned that his two daughters were rescued by a mysterious person three days ago, he roughly guessed that it might be Luo Shu who did it. As the only person in the world who knows the relationship between Luo Shu and his two daughters, he naturally doesn't worry about his two daughters getting into trouble.

What's more, at this time, Yotsuba Genzo wanted to maintain his relationship with Luo Shu more than maintaining the reputation of the Yotsuba family.

This is the fundamental reason why Yotsuba Maya is not worried that her father will take the initiative to tell the Nanakusa family that she has returned to the hotel.

The ten Fuso clans seemed to be of the same blood, but Yotsuba Maya knew very well that there had always been open and covert struggles among the ten numerical families.

Yotsuba Maya even felt that the other digital families were secretly waiting to see the Yotsuba and Nanakusa families make a fool of themselves.
