A journey into an infinite dimension

This also made them more convinced that they had not found the wrong person.

"Could you explain to me what you mean?"

After finishing the reminiscence, a slight curve gradually appeared at the corner of his mouth. Jia Ye looked at the two people in front of him, and a hint of interest flashed quietly in his flaming eyes.

"of course."

"It's an honor for us."

They nodded, and then the two of them spoke one after another, stating their purpose in the most concise and clear way.

“We are ‘some thought’ that visits your life.”

"We are looking for the owner of this power."

"This power is the foundation of this world."

"It is the cornerstone of a device that corrects and maintains the balance of life on this planet and keeps it evolving in the right direction."

"All of time and space, and all life, rely on the existence of this device, which is why they have been able to develop to this day."

"However, without this foundation, this device can only remain in the unchanging 'present' and cannot have a 'future'."

"This will cost the planet all its possibilities and future."

"So we have been searching for someone who is qualified to take on and wield this power."

“So, we found you.”

He listened calmly to the two people's explanations, and waited until they finished their explanations before Jia Ye spoke calmly.

"Since you said I was the original person qualified for this cornerstone, then before finding me, this planet was stuck in a state of no progress?"

This was the first suspicious point that Jia Ye found in the conversation between the two.

No, actually this is not a real doubt, because it is just a point that Jiaye is confused about.

"You are very observant."

Nodding, feeling more and more satisfied with the young man in front of him who was able to perceive this problem, the person on the left explained softly.

"In fact, as long as this foundation is not destroyed, it can continue to perform its functions."

The person on the right also took over the conversation and continued to explain.

"However, without a qualified individual, this foundation, while still serving as a foundation, is only a 'foundation'."

In other words, this cornerstone can only unleash its full power beyond the basic level if it has a qualified person or user.

When Jia Ye realized this, he also knew why they came to him.

Life is greedy, especially when faced with problems of this level.

If you have the opportunity to perform at 200% efficiency, you cannot be satisfied with the current 100%.

Similarly, if there are still 300% or 400%, then even if you have 200%, you will still work hard to pursue a higher level.

However, Jiaye still has some doubts.

"Can I ask why you waited until now to find me?"

The original owner had lived in this world for more than ten years without being found, which meant that the qualified person they were referring to was not the original owner, 'Hoshi no Hana Yukisaki', but the one who was using the original owner's body.

However, he has been in this world for some time, why was he not found until now?

However, in the eyes of the two girls, his question was interpreted by them as "I have lived in this world for more than ten years, why did you find me only now?"

"Because we didn't even realize you existed until a few days ago."

When talking about this matter, the two girls were unable to give an explanation.

"Before this, we had never observed your existence."

Jia Ye, who was originally confused, immediately understood the cause and effect of the whole matter after the two people said this.

A few days ago, that was when he agreed to become Kaguya's teacher in Honkai Will.

It was not until then that the existence of 'Kaya Kisaragi' was officially written into the roots of this world and became a 'member of this world'.

Just like the identity that the system usually creates for him when he travels through the world.

Because before this, his identity in the eyes of the world was "Hoshi no Hana Yukisaki", until the Honkai Will took action, he became "Kaya Kisaragi".

So that's why he wasn't aware of the existence behind these two people until then?

It is even possible that even this current scene is the work of the Honkai Will.

However, Jia Ye didn't care about this matter.

Because it would keep him from being bored.

"Let me ask you this: aren't you afraid that I might use this power to destroy the world?"

Looking at the two girls with great interest, Jiaye asked with a smile that looked slightly dangerous.

“The world is not as fragile as you think.”

"If you mean destroying humanity, then we can only say that we have never considered humanity to be equivalent to the world."

Faced with Jiaye's dangerous remarks, the two girls did not have any special reaction.

"I agree with this statement. Then, please explain this power to me."

Seeing this, Jia Ye smiled and skipped the topic.

Without a mission, he has no interest in destroying the world.

Not only is it troublesome, but there is also no profit.

"This is the cornerstone that keeps the world running and moving forward."

"It's not a symbol, but the concept of the sea itself, the 'Ring of Tiamat'."

The person holding the box gently opened the lid of the box, and immediately, the breath that had already been sensed by the "Mind's Eye" was completely swept out.

Under the influence of this aura, coupled with the sensitivity of his mind's eye, Jiaye felt as if he was in a real ocean.

At the same time, he also felt the endless and enormous destructive force; layer upon layer, seemingly infinite ripples; rising and falling, waves pulled by the stars; the root force that supported the operation and circulation of everything, and drove everything; the pillar of water and sky that devoured everything, turned it into its own use and penetrated the sky; the blue eye that absorbed everything, with an endless desire for gluttony.

And the things in the box were the source of the aura he felt.

There are seven rings lying quietly in the box, three on each side and one in the middle. The rings have the same width and are painted and carved with different patterns on the surface. They look very simple and elegant.

"...Seven?"

Blinking, Jia Ye looked at the two of them, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

"Do I need to find someone to share this power with me?"

This is a bit of a trap.

The two people in front of him and the forces behind them have been around for who knows how long, and they have only found him. If he still needs to find the other six people, it will not be interesting, but a waste of time.

"We have found six other candidates besides the cornerstone core, but if there are no qualified people in the core, the power of the Tiamat Ring cannot be unleashed."

The person on the left explained.

"The seven rings of Tiamat are one, but aside from the core, the 'sea,' the 'tsunami,' 'tide,' 'ocean current,' 'tornado,' 'whirlpool,' and 'wave' all serve to protect the 'sea.' Only the 'sea' is the key."

The person on the right continued.

"So, please inherit the 'Tiamat Family' that has guarded the Tiamat Ring for generations. Gather six guardians and become the leader of this family."

Finally, the two voices, with exactly the same tone and voice, quietly overlapped.

Chapter 287: What does it mean to have one foot in two boats? (Leaning back)

"We will provide you with information on the remaining ring-qualified individuals. Please use your own skills and charm to subdue them."

After leaving these words and handing seven rings and a suitcase to Jia Ye, the two girls left.

In the empty classroom, Jia Ye was the only one left again.

“What a pitfall.”

Looking at the box in his hand that contained the ring and the suitcase that contained the weapons that were said to be equipped with the ring, Jia Ye couldn't help but sigh.

[Stop pretending. If you really didn't want to, you wouldn't have accepted this.]

Looking at Jia Ye who was acting like a good boy after getting the advantage, Ge Jiuye complained.

【Well, it’s really boring after all. 】

Shrugging, Jia Ye gently closed the box containing the ring, then placed it on top of the briefcase on the podium, then placed the suitcase on an empty table and opened it.

Inside the suitcase, there were seven small square boxes of different colors, each with a black round hole on the top, and a document bag lying quietly.

Inside the suitcase lid, there is a description of the box.

"Use the ring to ignite the flame of the attribute and inject the flame into the box to awaken the power hidden within. At the same time, the color of each box corresponds to the color of the seven attribute flames of the sea...?"

After reading the instructions, when Jiaye looked at the box again, his eyes were filled with strong interest.

This kind of "Schrödinger's box" where you don't know what's hidden inside and everything is possible before you open it really piques people's interest.

Because it feels like drawing a card.

【Drawing cards is much more exciting than this.】

Curling his lips, Ge Jiuye said disdainfully.

[Also, don't forget that your students are still waiting for you. If you want to play, wait until you get home.]

[Of course I haven’t forgotten.]

He picked up the information bag, then placed the ring box into the matching recess in the middle of the suitcase and closed the suitcase. Out of sight, out of mind, Jia Ye suppressed the urge to open the box and play around.

[By the way, are what those two people talking about the laws of this world? ]

After putting the information bag into the briefcase and then clearing all traces, Jia Ye asked Ge Jiuye as he walked out of the classroom.

[That's pretty much it. Although they're hiding some insignificant things, overall, they don't have any ill will towards you.]

Ge Jiuye said as he was slowly flipping through a comic book in his hand.

【By the way, when do you plan to go find your guardian? 】

"Let's take a look at the information first. Besides, even if I meet him, I don't guarantee I'll be able to win him over. After all, I don't have any charisma."

Jiaye said helplessly.

【Not necessarily. 】

In response to this, Ge Jiuye just smiled noncommittally and said nothing.

......

......

In the evening, in the living room of Kaguya's house.

"Let's stop here for the first day. Learning too much will affect your digestion."

Gently closing the laptop in front of him, Jiaye smiled and said to Kaguya who was sitting opposite him.

"Although I already knew this in school, is this really your first time as a teacher?"

Covering the notebook, Kaguya looked at Kaya, her eyes flickering with a faint, strange light.

"Although I have taught a few people before, this is the first time I've been a teacher in such a formal way."

Shrugging his shoulders, Jia Ye lay lazily and without any image on the coffee table and said.

"So in addition to drawing up your teaching plan these days, you should also set aside some time to learn the basics of being a teacher."

As for the specific time, it’s probably around the nighttime sleeping period these days.

But this is not something that needs to be said.

"Is this the reason why the lights in your room have never been turned off during this period of time?"

A malicious look gradually gathered in her eyes. Kaguya supported her hands on the table, stood up slightly, looked down at Jiaye, and asked in a cold tone.

“…No.”

He felt as if there was a large shadow blocking the light cast on him. After a brief silence, Jia Ye said without changing his expression.
