"So, are you two... ready?" Estelle asked Chen Luo and Irena.

Estelle was not at peace at this moment.

"Mm." Irena and Chen Luo nodded.

"Then I'll begin!" A magic wand appeared in Estelle's Estelle hand.

But Estelle's hand, gripping her wand, trembled.

"Are you alright?" Irena asked with concern.

"It's nothing, it's just anemia."

"You're sweating..."

"This is also caused by anemia."

"..." Chen Luo and Irena exchanged a glance at Estelle, whose sophistry was not very good.

"Irena, Chen Luo, I'll ask you one more time, are you ready?" Estelle asked again, holding her wand in one hand.

She was clearly nervous.

"But Miss Estelle, are you ready?" Irena said helplessly.

"I've been ready for a long time, years ago!" Estelle said, gripping her wand tightly with both hands and pointing it directly at the magic gathering device in front of her.

The magic jar in front contains a massive amount of magic power, all of which is formed from Estelle's blood.

A beam of green light shot out from Estelle's wand and struck the device.

A large amount of magic flowed out of Estelle's body along the green light, and a ball of green magic began to swell at the magic device.

As Estelle shouted and poured all her magic into it, the large mass of green magic exploded, engulfing Estelle Chen Luo, and Irena.

Irena stared in amazement at the vast and chaotic magical power before her.

Chen Luo vaguely heard Estelle say something to him and Irena, but Chen Luo paid no attention to it and instead focused on the state that resonated so well with his own time element.

While Chen Luo was in a daze, the funnel-shaped magic device suddenly shot out a beam of white light, engulfing all three people present.

At this moment, Chen Luo seemed to have truly touched the element of time, which swirled and flowed around his hands and body...

Ah, perhaps this is Chen Luo's greatest gain from completing this mission.

Chen Luo has possessed the Time Element since the beginning, but Chen Luo doesn't know how to use it; Chen Luo lacks is an example.

While opening treasure chests in the Elysian Realm, Chen Luo learned about one way to use the element of time—preservation.

I've now learned a little about another way to use the time element.

Although Chen Luo doesn't have many time elements, Chen Luo can use the Elemental Eye to convert his other elements into time elements for his own use.

At this point, Chen Luo suddenly remembered something.

Maybe we don't even need Irena for this mission.

Although the magic power within Chen Luo's body is slightly different from the magic power of this world, so he can't use the Magic Sharing Ring because that Magic Sharing Ring draws magic power from Chen Luo's body, Chen Luo can still use the Elemental Eye to recharge Estelle's energy...

The Elemental Eye can transform Chen Luo's magic power into the magic power of this world through this [Magic Organ].

Oh well, since Irena can earn so many gold coins this time, I won't bother her.

If I didn't get Irena's help because of my own reasons, and Irena missed the opportunity to make money, Irena would definitely blame me if she found out.

At the moment of time travel, Chen Luo finally saw the scene from that episode of the anime.

Hmm, wait a minute, Sorrow Flows Upstream?

This name doesn't sound very auspicious.

But before Chen Luo could continue reading, Chen Luo disappeared from Estelle's house.

When Chen Luo and Estelle Elena reappeared, they saw the familiar decor again.

Chen Luo felt that the room he was in seemed unchanged, but that was probably just what most people would think.

Chen Luo, who possesses the element of time, is different. Chen Luo can clearly perceive the changes in time, while Irena still has doubts about it.

Could it be that your rewind spell failed?

"It seems to have been a success." Unlike the doubtful Irena, Estelle was very confident.

"Look, the room has turned back to how it was 10 years ago," Estelle said excitedly, pointing to certain parts of the room.

"I'm sorry, I can't tell at all," Irena shook her head.

In Irena's opinion, the two rooms looked exactly the same.

"Completely different, for example, here and here and here," Estelle said excitedly.

"Hmm, were they all exactly the same just now? I can't see any difference at all." Irena continued to shake her head.

You've always lived in this place, so of course you can easily see where things have changed. How could I possibly know?

"Chen Luo, what about you?" Estelle asked Chen Luo, eager to find out.

"Huh? I didn't notice. I was immersed in the magnificent feat of traveling through time. Although I can't see anything different, I do have some understanding of time. I can feel the passage of time elements." Although Chen Luo wasn't interested in this topic, he naturally answered since the other party had asked.

"You also know time magic?" Estelle looked at Chen Luo with some surprise.

"I know a little," was all Chen Luo could say.

Because Chen Luo has now learned how to seal items with time.

In short, it's just for keeping food fresh; it's basically useless for anything else.

Oh, of course it can also be used to store valuable items, but Chen Luo's backpack is better at storing items.

Although this ability to stop time sounds like it could pause time, or slow down someone else's time, Chen Luo's strength is not yet at that level.

He still needs to explore gradually, but at least after the time travel process just now, Chen Luo has gained some insights.

In order to verify whether she had traveled through time and to know if she could move quickly after time travel, Estelle went straight outside.

Irena followed Estelle out of the house, closing Estelle door behind her.

But the next moment, Irena remembered that Chen Luo was still behind her. When Irena turned around, she saw something even more Irena: Chen Luo had walked through the door and followed her as if nothing had happened, just like a ghost.

Although Irena was curious about this, Irena knew now was not the time to think about it.

Irena looked outside and indeed noticed some changes. At least the annoying flyers plastered alleyway had disappeared, and the streetscape was different from what she remembered.

Did they really travel through the world?

"Clang, clang..." The clock tower chimed, signaling the hour. On the street bathed in the twilight sun, Irena picked up a newspaper and saw a date from 10 years ago.

"Good, it's already four o'clock. Let's get moving. We only have one hour. When the clock strikes five in the evening, we'll be teleported back to our original world."

"Only one hour..." Although Irena was slightly disappointed with the result, she still thought it was an incredible feat.

"An hour is enough. That's enough time to overturn the next ten years." Estelle stretched out her right hand, and a broom flew swiftly into Estelle hand.

At the same time, the ring on Estelle's right hand emitted a faint red glow.

Irena also felt her magic power slightly depleted, so it seemed that the ring was indeed useful.

Due to the time constraints, Estelle flew forward on her broom, carrying Irena with her.

"Do you witches have to ride brooms to fly? That's weird," Chen Luo complained as he flew through the air without consuming any magic power, keeping up with the two of them.

"In our opinion, it's much stranger that you can fly in the sky at will without consuming any magic power, isn't it?" Irena retorted.

"Alright, let me explain our plan. In 20 minutes, a robber wearing a black cloak will break into Serena's house and stab her parents multiple times, killing them."

"We need to evacuate his parents from their ambush and repel the bandits before that happens. Simple, right?" Estelle asked, turning her head as she flew.

"I hope it goes smoothly," Irena said helplessly.

In fact, if it were just a normal time, it would be incredibly easy for the two witches to accomplish this. No matter how powerful the bandit is, could he possibly defeat a witch?

Therefore, plans like this should be as simple as possible.

After all, when one side possesses overwhelming strength, there is no need for extra strategies.

The more meticulous the plan, the more prone it is to errors.

"As long as her parents are still alive, Serena's life shouldn't go astray, and she won't become a murderer," Estelle said with some relief.

Although the tragedy has not yet been prevented, Estelle already has aspirations for it.

"In that case, Loschtov will be a completely different place 10 years from now when we go back," Irena remarked.

"That's not how it works. Even if we interfered with the past, my killing of Serena won't change the future. After the timeline shifted, Serena didn't die, and this world without the murderer will generate another timeline..."

Estelle began to explain the consequences of the success of this matter.

Although this result may seem meaningless, it is actually quite different for Estelle.

Although a separate timeline will emerge after the rescue is successful, Serena at this point in time is undoubtedly Estelle's best friend from 10 years ago.

This is beyond doubt; even if it splits into another timeline, that's something for later.

If Serena can be saved now, Estelle's inner conflict will be resolved.

The fact that she killed her best friend is something that Estelle has never been able to get over.

Although Estelle was smiling so happily, to be honest, Chen Luo didn't have high expectations for the outcome of this matter.

It wasn't because Chen Luo had finished reading the plot, but because Chen Luo had already seen through Estelle's somewhat vague Fate Threads before and after arriving in this 10-year period.

Chen Luo's Destiny Ability has its limits; at least he can't see what the other person would have done 10 years ago.

But when Chen Luo arrived at the point 10 years ago, all he could observe was the Fate Threads for the next hour.

This makes things much easier.

Estelle's strength as a witch is indeed very strong, so Chen Luo cannot see her future in detail, but Chen Luo at least knows that her future is not bright.

Or rather, it was terrible.

Chen Luo initially thought he might encounter a formidable enemy this time, but after observing the Fate Threads between himself and Irena Chen Luo dismissed the idea.

Chen Luo's own Fate Threads is generally stable, which means that nothing much happens, or that nothing has a significant impact on Chen Luo.

Irena's Fate Threads has fluctuated. Chen Luo can vaguely see that her emotions are very strange, as if she has suffered great psychological trauma, but there is no danger to her life.

Estelle's Fate Threads, however, is marked by significant mental fluctuations and severe physical injuries.

As Chen Luo observed the two women's Fate Threads for longer, the images presented to Chen Luo gradually became clearer.

The more Chen Luo used his ability to observe the Fate Threads, the more proficient he accumulated.

Perhaps one day, Chen Luo will be able to follow the other person's Fate Threads and uncover the fact that the other person was bedwetting when they were just a few years old.

Just then, Estelle, who was flying forward, suddenly stopped and flew off in the opposite direction on her broomstick.

Seeing Estelle flying rapidly in an unintended direction, Irena panicked for a moment.

Why not play by the rules?

Then Chen Luo and Irena saw Estelle was flying in the air, jump off her broom and rush over before she could even stand up straight, hugging a blue-haired little girl carrying a basket.

"Serena!" Estelle hugged the little girl tightly, her voice trembling with emotion and a hint of tears.

But the little girl seemed completely bewildered.

"Big, big sister, who are you?" The little girl's cute appearance and innocent face made her look just like a little angel.

"I'm sorry, I couldn't save you, I'm really... I'm so sorry." Estelle sobbed, almost to herself.

Tears streamed down Estelle's face. Only when she was holding Serena as a child did Estelle truly feel that she could change everything.

"...That's Serena from 10 years ago? She's quite cute, but not as cute as me." Irena, sitting on the broom, said, looking at Serena who was being hugged from the other side below.

"..." But looking at the cute little girl with blue hair, Chen Luo's expression became somewhat serious.

After Chen Luo arrived in the future, in order to prevent problems from arising in the commission, Chen Luo directly activated the Herrscher of Knowledge's "Mind Reading" ability.

Meanwhile, the Herrscher of Knowledge's Mind Reading ability sensed something ominous.
