The portable grandfathers that appear are all problematic.

"Teacher, what's wrong?" Fafnir, who had been about to tell Xue Daolu the good news, suddenly felt like she had done something wrong, as if she had noticed Xue Daolu's low spirits.

"No, it's nothing, I just want to be alone..." Xue Dinglu stared silently at the ceiling.

Perhaps I need to improve my basic magical abilities.

My magical abilities are still limited to the same three tricks: Holy Light spells, rituals, and cursed blood.

Holy Light magic has not been developed for a long time, and Imperial Swordsmanship has also been abandoned for a long time.

Perhaps I can pick it up again for now. I still have several days of vacation left, so I can slowly practice Holy Light Magic and Imperial Swordsmanship.

It shouldn't be called Imperial Swordsmanship anymore. Although Xue's close combat ability is based on the Imperial Swordsmanship of the Old Necromancer Cult, over time it has gradually deviated from the original form of swordsmanship, incorporating Greek martial arts and otherworldly combat techniques, and has become a completely new swordsmanship.

"Let's start training hard tomorrow. It's been a long time since I've climbed the dragon." Xue Dinglu held the short sword the old man had given him and made plans for tomorrow.

……

The next day, a white plastic chair for a food stall was placed in the courtyard, and a short sword was placed on the plastic chair.

This short sword is not a Noble Phantasm, but the old man seemed to have deliberately adjusted it before leaving. Now it is only missing a great achievement based on this as a true Noble Phantasm. He handed this weapon to Xue Lude so that Xue Lude could write a new story on their last relic.

Meanwhile, Xue Dinglu began training in holy light magic in the courtyard, and he was also thinking about whether he could train in double jump.

The double jump is a physical skill that is somewhat useful in any situation.

Chapter 306 What kind of tile is this?

When Fafnir returned from her workout, she saw Xue Lude sitting on a plastic stool at a food stall, deep in thought.

For some reason, she always found strange things to think about that figure from behind.

Xue Dinglu had already learned the double jump into the dragon leap, but he got stuck here when he wanted to take his magic and martial arts to the next level.

The main reason is that its base stats are too low.

Xue's law was originally just an ordinary person, and his ancestors were nothing strange, just typical scattered rat ancestors.

When the bulk rats evolved to his generation, the upper limit of their functionality was actually just that.

However, it's not a big problem. After all, Xue's current true form is a pure energy body, and the human body is just a habit for him.

Although progress in magic is slow, it hasn't reached the point of being inhuman.

However, Xue's progress in magic is slow, which is his own opinion. If anyone knew that he had gone from a Muggle to a near-4th rank in less than two months, they would be extremely astonished.

None of those who achieved rapid training could do it as fast as him. Moreover, other magicians who achieved rapid training all had various problems, resulting in low combat power, but Xue's Law was different.

An unprepared encounter might not work, but if you prepare him well, set up the ceremony and the venue, Xue's Law can unleash a level 5 combat power, which is completely countering the enemy's level 5, to give the opponent a little shock in terms of mechanics.

He felt that at his current pace, it would probably take him some time to officially enter the 4th tier, and then the speed to reach the near 5th tier would slow down considerably, probably taking more than half a year.

"The numbers are still too low, and my leveling speed is still too slow," Xue Dinglu thought.

However, even the old Demon Emperor would want to punch someone if he heard this, as it took him decades to reach the near-5th rank.

That concludes today's training. Xue Dinglu completed the combo of double jump followed by Dragon Ascent, and Holy Light Magic also improved upon the original Holy Shield spell with a completely new technique.

The Holy Light Barrier can raise a holy light shield in front of you, and the shield has physical properties that allow it to be broken into two large swords.

The sanctified lightsaber can extend into a lightsaber of varying length from a hand blade. The lightsaber, condensed with magic, even possesses certain physical properties, carrying temperatures of tens of thousands of degrees. Furthermore, the spell of the sanctified lightsaber can be applied to ordinary swords, giving them stronger enchantments.

In addition to Xue's existing Holy Light Guillotine and Eight-Part Light Wheel, his current magic is sufficient. When he needs to use spells, these spells can finely slice the opponent into minced meat, just like a meat processing plant.

After further honing his existing magic and swordsmanship, Xue Luding prepared to meet his mother.

Soon, he connected with the Earth's consciousness.

"Hmm?" Earth's consciousness showed a puzzled expression.

"I want to ask Old Man Kleber where his soul came from," Xue Dinglu asked, revealing his purpose.

According to the information left by the Star Squadron, the souls of the old man and the other members of the 27th squad were not captured by the Mimic King. Therefore, they were either in the black hole or had been swallowed by the cosmic void.

So Xue Law came here this time to ask if he could find more information, and ideally, find the souls of all the members of Squad 27.

Earth's consciousness remained silent for a long time, so long that Xue's Law wondered if he had said something wrong.

But in the end, He seemed to let out a human-like sigh and then said, "I originally intended to use them as another trump card."

Xue Law: “?”

Soon, he understood what was happening. The Earth's consciousness produced a black sphere that looked as if it had been crushed into an incredibly smooth shape.

Just by getting close to the black sphere, Xue Luding felt himself being pulled by gravity. He had no doubt that once this thing was thrown out, it would immediately turn into a planetary explosion.

"What is this?" Xue Dinglu looked at the black ball with a puzzled expression, and he suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Recently, while creating a parallel world, I obtained a special core. It seems to be the shape of an entire divine tree that was twisted and compressed, and I sealed it back from the brink of collapse." The Earth consciousness seemed to casually utter something that Xue Law found remarkable.

"And that soul is extracted from this," Earth's consciousness added.

Xue Falu was silent.

Now, seeing this black ball, Xue's Law gradually understands everything.

The 27th Squadron of the Starfleet, along with the divine tree that helped them push the black hole, were all swallowed, twisted, and squeezed by the black hole.

Even the divine tree, which was larger than Saturn, was gradually twisted and compressed inside the black hole, turning into the black sphere filled with distorted gravity that it is now.

All matter seemed to be distorted into its most primitive structure under this gravitational force, even the divine tree.

Seemingly knowing what Xue was thinking, Earth's consciousness answered before he even asked a question: "This is a meteorite obtained by accident from a parallel world. As soon as the seal is broken, it will immediately collapse into a black hole, so I don't know exactly what it is. However, I found a lot of souls on it, so I kept it. When needed, I can summon them out, or I can throw this core that is about to collapse into a black hole as a weapon."

"But if you need it now, take it." Earth's consciousness seemed to have no regrets, handing the collapsed black sphere to Xue Dinglu.

When Xue obtained this thing, even though it was sealed with a world-class seal, he felt his entire body being pulled by nearly ten times the gravitational pull.

This gravitational pull caused extreme discomfort to the body, and it's hard to imagine what the members of Squad 27 would feel if they actually had to face the gravity of a black hole.

He took a deep breath and said, "Thank you."

Xue's Law actually had a vague feeling that the Earth's consciousness's actions in creating parallel worlds were very similar to the situation of the Mimic King creating the inner world universe.

Perhaps, Earth's consciousness is actually an early form of a pseudo-king, which is why those souls wandering in the universe are gradually being led to Earth.

Just as Xue's Law once predicted, Earth is also among the strongest in terms of data in the world consciousness.

After all, it is extremely difficult for other planets to give birth to beings of level 5 or higher, while Earth has had a level 5 Zeus. In fact, not only Zeus, but Typhon, Cronus, Chaos and other monsters also had level 5 strength.

This is very unusual. In the world where the last theocracy was located, the entire world consciousness devoted all its efforts to nurturing a single fifth-order angel, Rachel.

Even though Rachel was only a Tier 5 native, and even after leaving the native territory, he was still only a Tier 5 in terms of rank, but his actual strength was only at the level of a quasi-Tier 5.

In contrast, Zeus in Greece was able to initiate the creation of the world, preparing to steal the power of the world and thus elevate himself to the sixth rank.

Even Zeus wasn't a guardian like Xue's Law, a being that relied on the world's resources; he was merely a native god who grew up on his own in that primitive era.

Zeus was able to become an apostle-level figure in the Council of the Mist simply by growing on his own. If he weren't the kind of person who excels in one area but has an infinitely large weakness as well, Zeus might have been able to steal the power of the world and bring everything back to himself, thus becoming the true one and only god.

This also means that Zeus's limits are definitely not just the limits of life native to Earth.

The true limit of life on Earth should be the level of Zeus, the only god after his ascension.

So, are there any other strange Tier 5 beings on Earth? Where did they all go?

Xue's Law couldn't figure it out, but he didn't dwell on it too much. The other strange fifth-order beings didn't jump out to cause trouble, probably because the Earth's will had killed their children without remorse, locked them in a dark room, or exiled them to outer space to stop their thinking, so they didn't cause too much of a stir.

Now he only needs to complete his own tasks.

He took the collapsing black sphere with him, and once again, he returned to the interstellar column's branch base.

This time, the moment he stepped into the interstellar column, it triggered an alarm throughout the entire base.

At this moment, a large number of team members came out. They looked at Xue Luding as if facing a formidable enemy, but not at Xue Luding, but at the black ball in his hand that was about to collapse.

This thing is terrifying. They would rather Xue's law had the core of the sun at tens of thousands of degrees Celsius than something like this that is about to collapse into a black hole.

"I'm bringing their last souls home with me," Xue Dinglu said, looking at Olivia, who was also rushing over from afar, "with the souls of everyone in the original 27th squad of the Starfleet."

……

After a flurry of activity, the fifth squadron's branch base finally received the black sphere.

Then Xue Dinglu arrived beside the body of the Evil Eye, marking the first time he successfully connected with the Mimic King.

The body of the Evil Eye is placed in this base so that it can connect with the mimicking King in the main base.

This time, Xue Dinglu saw not only the old man, but everyone in the 27th squad: the tall squad leader, the young couple who got married before the mission, the dwarf who was less than half a meter tall, and many other members with strange appearances from the barbaric era.

They all took off their hats and bowed to Xue Dinglu.

Xue Dinglu smiled and said goodbye to them.

This time, everyone gathered together, including the members of the 27th Squadron of the Interstellar Brigade who sacrificed themselves in the black hole. They, along with the divine tree, were twisted and collapsed by the black hole's gravity, forming a star core that resembled a black hole.

This is also why the Mimic King could not bring back their souls. Perhaps it was a coincidence, or perhaps it was intentional on the part of Earth, which created a parallel world. This collapsing star core was captured by Earth and eventually handed over to Xue's Law.

Now, Xue Dinglu has brought them home.

"Everyone get ready, this is the last time we'll take a group photo!" the squad leader said.

"Crack!"

A photograph captures this moment.

There were 58 people in total, including the old man from the beginning; not a single one was missing.

After taking the photos, they thanked Xue Dinglu, as if in their memory and consciousness, not millions of years had passed, but as if they had saved the world just yesterday.

"Let's all share our achievements. I lasted 87 minutes under gravity."

"I lasted for 74 minutes."

"I...I dragged everyone down. We failed in just 14 minutes, which caused the formation to collapse...and killed everyone..."

"It's alright, it's alright. We weren't planning on coming back alive anyway. Besides, we've already succeeded, so that's enough."

"14 minutes is quite impressive, considering you're just a member of the logistics department."

“Let’s celebrate tonight. Anna, Lanoff, didn’t you two propose? We can’t prepare a wedding for you in the real world, so let’s prepare it here.”

"Happy wedding!"

A group of people, chatting and laughing, with their arms around each other's shoulders, boasting about their past achievements and discussing how to hold a grand wedding, disappeared into the end of the world created by the Mimic King.

All 58 people returned to their hometowns.

They disappeared into the distance, but in the end, Xue Lude saw old man Kleber stop in the distance with his daughter Anna and the young man and son-in-law Lanoff.

The girl threw an object.

Xue Dinglu took it and found that it was actually a candy.

He opened the outer paper; the candy was very sweet, and a family of three in the distance waved to him, as if to say that it was wedding candy delivered in advance.

Xue Dinglu waved and said, "Happy wedding!"

The last three disappeared from sight, turning into countless specks of light.

……

After Xue Dinglu left the Mimic King, he smiled, feeling endless satisfaction and gratification.

Chewing on the candy in his mouth, it was so sweet it was almost cloying. It seemed he might not be able to get used to the food of other races.

This time, it was Olivia again who came, but she wasn't empty-handed; she was holding a Noble Phantasm.

"Xue's Law, this is the mimicry of the Earth's core, our gift of gratitude."

“This…” Xue Dinglu looked at the thing in his hand, at a loss.

“Since your homeworld is capable of creating parallel worlds, it must have already begun to evolve towards the King level. We will not let any ally suffer losses. We understand why your world consciousness left behind this collapsing star core before. So take this gift back. By the way, tell your homeworld that as long as you walk the same path, the Starfleet will always be your ally,” Senior Olivia said.

At this point, Xue's Law has no choice but to take over the "mimicry of the Earth's core".

Even the panel left by the Great Sage couldn't decipher this thing. It seems it wasn't for him, but for Mother Earth.

"I'll leave it to my mom to decide," Xue thought to himself.

"By the way, Xiao Xue Law, I have some inside information. Headquarters is taking the lead in preparing to differentiate the ability of the Mimic King and establish a 'Mutual Help World Chat Group'. It is still in the planning stage. It is planned to include all the world consciousnesses that are connected with the Starship Corps. This way, if an accident occurs, we can directly say something in the group instead of the current inefficient way of transmitting information."

Senior Olivia quietly approached and revealed the news that surprised Xue Dinglu.

"A world chat group?" Xue asked in confusion.

"Yes, most of it consists of world consciousness, but it's only in the planning stage for now. However, headquarters has already decided that as long as we further develop the cross-world transmission method, we might be able to complete it, and then the emergency communication device will become a thing of the past."
