A journey into an infinite dimension

【It's all thanks to the power of Lord Hastur.】

Not caring about the disgusting bodies that looked like rotting corpses, Ye Jian gently stroked the heads of the two Bayakis and responded softly.

Excessive modesty is a sin. I know full well that the power I lent you will serve no purpose in this battle other than as a source of energy.

Hastur spoke calmly with a hint of a smile in his voice.

[In time, if you can cultivate this level of magic power, you will be able to exert the same combat power.]

"But that's in the future. If it weren't for Lord Hastur's help today, it would have taken me even longer to send the Black Young back."

It is not Ye Jian's character to ignore the current kindness of others just because he will be able to do it sooner or later.

So he believed that, at least after borrowing the power of Hastur, most of the credit should go to Hastur.

[There's no need to argue with me about who gets the credit, because this power is what you and I have acquired through a transaction, not something you earned without work. Therefore, during the term of the contract, it is your own power.]

While staring at Yami quietly, Hastur said.

Thank you very much for your help, Lord Hastur.

He smiled, sat on Yue's back and drove towards the Seraino Library, and Ye Jian said in his heart.

Please take back the contract. I no longer need your power.

"Come to think of it, it seems there are two other contracts within your soul, and one of them seems to belong to the same pantheon as mine. Do you have a protector?"

Following Hastur's words, Ye Jian could clearly feel that a certain external force that he could easily contact had completely disappeared, and at the same time, an indescribable "weight" that existed in his senses was no longer there - or it could be said that it had returned to its original "weight".

[Eh? No, I've only just come across this pantheon these past few days, and before today I'd only ever come into contact with Shoggoths.]

After hearing the content of Hastur's words, Ye Jian was also stunned.

What’s going on? Where do so many contracts come from?

And one of them is related to this pantheon, but I have only awakened my stand for a few days?

Could it be that one of them is Ge Jiuye?

[No, our relationship with you is much closer than these contracts.]

With a light snort, Ge Jiuye seemed very dissatisfied that Ye Jian regarded his relationship with her as just a contractual one.

[Okay, I'm sorry.]

Hearing Ge Jiuye's dissatisfaction, Ye Jian quickly apologized with a smile.

【By the way, do you know where those two contracts came from? 】

Ye Jian felt that there were so many mysteries about himself.

First, there was the special nature of the soul and the innate weaponry, then the compatibility with this pantheon, and now there are two more contracts.

And it all seems to be related to past lives—who is it that has been reincarnated and continues to influence their next life? !

Since you have been reincarnated, don’t push all the troubles onto your next life’s mouth and teeth!

Sometimes, Ye Jian really wanted to complain about his past life.

Although he gained a lot of benefits thanks to this, he also encountered a lot of troubles!

[One is a contract with a heroic spirit, the other is a contract with an ancient god. Their origins are as you might expect.]

Listening to Ye Jian's crazy complaints in his heart, Ge Jiuye said silently.

A peaceful life will never come to you.

Looking at Ye Jian through the screen in front of him with complicated eyes, Ge Jiuye sighed silently in his heart.

[These two contracts are just dormant now. If you wish, you can revive them by sensing them.]

Without revealing his emotions, Ge Jiuye continued.

[But if this is the case, the contracted party will definitely follow the contract's instructions and find you. Xiaoye, what do you want to do?]

[...Okay, I'll try to revive the contract when I get back.]

After a long silence, Ye Jian suddenly smiled softly.

[I have a feeling that the person I'm contracting with must have a close relationship with me, or perhaps my past life, so if they can't sense the existence of the contract, it must be difficult for them to accept it.]

I don’t know why, but Ye Jian just feels this way.

This contract may only deepen the bond, rather than being the key to maintaining the bond.

Therefore, not being able to sense the existence of the contract might only cause the two contractors to collapse, rather than feel free.

So, Ye Jian decided to revive the contract.

Then----

[However, the person they see is not me, so when they come, I will let them cancel the contract.]

While communicating with Hastur at the same time, Ye Jian spoke in the "channel" communicating with Kakuya.

This is the answer Ye Jian came to after thinking about it for a period of time.

He doesn't like being treated as a substitute for someone else, even if the person being replaced is himself in his previous life.

Therefore, he could accept making friends with those acquaintances from his previous life as "Penglaishan Yejian", but he could not, and did not want to, accept being treated as "that person in his previous life" by those people.

Perhaps his idea is selfish and unacceptable to those people, but Ye Jian doesn't care.

If you are unhappy, blame yourself for dying early in your previous life!

If you are still unhappy, you can die together with your previous life!!

Don’t bother me, Penglaishan Yejian, with anything. I don’t care about my past life, I only care about this life that belongs to me!!!

In the conscious world, Ge Jiuye listened to Ye Jian's cry in his heart, and couldn't help but cast a sarcastic look at the people sitting next to him.

"The resentment I've felt for your interference in every life has finally erupted due to the special circumstances of this life."

"No matter which life he was in, he was always himself, so the premise of his statement is not valid."

Looking at Ye Jian with complicated eyes, Honkai Will said.

"It is because of your thinking that the later stages of his life in each of his lifetimes are so chaotic and turbulent."

Ge Jiuye responded indifferently.

"Even without our intervention, that madman would have come to him in the end; he was destined to be haunted by that madman regardless of our presence or absence."

The stone table in front of him shattered into powder, and the will of collapse said coldly.

"It was all because of his reckless insistence on saving that guy that he ended up hurting himself. Otherwise, with his talent, he wouldn't have had so many things going on right now!"

"Calm down, Xing."

The young man waved his hand to restore the stone table to its original state and said with his eyes half-closed.

"Perhaps, it's time for us to reflect on the things that have been interfering with his life."

There was no emotion in his tone; it seemed calm, yet overly complicated.

"But that will come later. Right now, it's more important to solve the current problem first."

"...I'm going out to calm down. Don't come to me for now unless it's something special."

After taking a deep breath and leaving these words, the figure of Honkai Will disappeared from the spot.

"Has the location been locked?"

Watching the Honkai Will leave, Ge Jiuye asked the young man.

"We found it by following the traces, but it's a little troublesome."

The one who answered was not the young man, but the girl who often quarreled with him.

"From the current situation, it seems that the awakening of the origin is not that guy's main method. The real hand is actually concentrated here."

As he spoke, he threw several pieces of information in front of everyone present at the same time. Even the one with the will of collapse slowly floated to his seat and suddenly disappeared without a trace.

"...It seems Xiaoye has to handle this personally."

After digesting the information, Ge Jiuye rubbed his eyebrows gently and said.

"But not now. Wait a few more years until Xiaoye grows up before you can let him do it."

"We all think the same way. Ah Ye is still too immature right now."

Nodding, the squinting-eyed man said.

"Let's focus on that for now. As for sending the person to Xiaoye's place, let's slow down the progress for now."

The figure reappeared in the seat and the Honkai Will said.

"The most important thing right now is to restore Xiaoye's memory. Everything else is secondary."

【Goodbye, Lord Hastur. I will come and chat with you often when I have time.】

Standing at the position of the teleportation seal, Ye Jian smiled and said these words to Hastur, then his figure disappeared from the spot in a burst of light.

"...In human terms, is this what it feels like to have a grandson?"

On the surface of Lake Harry, bubbles rising from the bottom of the lake seemed to be telling the mood of the owner of the lake.

"But why did you leave me with something that humans call a 'computer'?"

Baiyaki, who had been summoned by Ye Jian before, flapped his huge wings and landed on the shore of Lake Harry. He gently threw a computer in his hand into the lake, then bowed slightly and flew through the nebula in the sky and left.

The computer thrown into the water was suddenly wrapped in a layer of transparent foam the moment it touched the water, and gradually sank to the bottom of the lake.

"Is it powered by divine or magical power, connected via a spatial channel, and has the ability to change size... well, I'll test your intentions, Ye Jian."

After returning to the Glazed Plain, Ye Jian just sneered at what happened at Lake Harry.

It was just a small toy made with the magic of Hastur, used by Hastur to kill time. It had no other function.

"The three-fold time difference will allow me to use it for training and organizing information. This way, I won't miss out on spending time with my sister, Ling Meng, and the others."

Looking back at the teleportation altar, Ye Jian smiled happily.

In this way, you can spend a lot of time on cultivation.

"However, my sister must not know about this, otherwise she will definitely stop me."

As if he had thought of something, he restrained his smile and warned himself cautiously.

Originally, Ye Jian planned to borrow "Xuyou" from his sister to practice.

Because in this way, he can spend several years in a "moment" that is just a moment in the eyes of others, and will not have less time for fun because he needs to spend time practicing.

However, after knowing his idea, Kaguya rejected it very harshly, so Ye Jian had no choice but to be down-to-earth.

However, there are now new places where you can practice cheating on time.

How awesome.

Ye Jian thought happily.

[We will also restrict your cultivation. Strength is important, but turning you into a cultivation maniac is bad.]

Ge Jiuye said quietly.

"It's okay, it's just three times the time difference. Even if you're being reckless, how reckless can you be?"

Shrugging, Ye Jian smiled helplessly.

After all, it's not "infinite time" in a certain sense like "a moment".

Three times more time can at most make your daily schedule more relaxed.

[We're just giving you a heads-up. After all, there are always some worlds where the time difference between them and Gensokyo is huge.]

Ge Jiuye said indifferently.

"Okay, then please supervise me and don't let me get too obsessed."

Based on the knowledge he observed from the Serano Library, Ye Jian quickly locked on his next destination.

[It's still early, can I go somewhere else? ]

Although there is no timing tool at hand, Ye Jian is very sensitive to the passage of time based on the changes in information.
