"I finally figured something out now," Luna said suddenly.
"What's the matter?"
"Why did you show us the future of the entire world when you were only using the most basic Divination in the decisive battle with Dumbledore?"
Luna stared at Ian with sharp eyes. "I always thought you were using some kind of advanced Time Magic, but in fact you are just relying on 'spoilers', right?"
"You're right. We also discovered the same situation during this trip," Hermione agreed. "I also thought for a time that his Divination had improved, or that he was using Time Magic to peek into the future."
"In my universe, he also showed the ability to predict the future," Olivier sneered, "In the final analysis, you are cheating."
"How can this be called cheating? This is obviously an innate skill that all people from Primordial Earth are born with," Ian argued.
"No, this is cheating," Pheobe asserted, "It's like you've memorized all the answers before taking the exam."
Everyone present nodded in agreement.
"Okay, okay, okay, I'm just a cheater, that is, a wall hanging, what can you do to me? Don't hide it, you are just Envy, Envy makes people look beyond recognition," Ian said with a smirk on his face.
"Rogue."
"Playboy."
"Liar."
"Narcissist."
"God complex."
Several of his wives took turns, each giving him a "pet name", which almost drove Ian crazy.
He coughed twice in embarrassment and quickly looked at Rowena and Luna, trying to change the subject; he didn't want this dinner to turn into a criticism meeting for him.
"So, how was your journey in Multiverse? I think you two are about to break through to Sixth Tier. The experience should be exciting, right? Shouldn't it be worse than us?"
"This is such a clumsy way to change the subject," Rowena complained, causing everyone to burst into laughter.
Amelia looked at the laughing crowd and was secretly pleased, "Fortunately, these children know how to adjust the atmosphere and know how to avoid those heavy topics at the right time."
"You may not believe it," Luna said, "I met an evil version of myself. She became the new generation Dark Lord of that world."
"Real or fake? What happened?" Everyone's curiosity was aroused.
"Well, in that timeline, my mother did not die young. But when I - Luna in that world - was in sixth grade, my mother passed away. That kind of blow was more devastating than losing her mother in childhood. Then, Voldemort took advantage of her weakness, promised Resurrection her parents, and tempted her to become Death Eaters."
"Parents?"
"Oh, yes. The father of that world also left with her shortly after her mother died, saying that he was going to Afterlife to follow her. Having lost his parents all at once, that Luna became very fragile and easily brainwashed."
"So, how did she become Dark Lord?" Ian asked.
"She worked for Voldemort for several years and found that he had no intention of fulfilling his promise. So, the blackened version Luna betrayed and killed Voldemort and took over Death Eaters. She began to use the power in her hands to find a way to find Resurrection's parents."
"Anyone who dared to stand in her way was killed by her. I even saw her kill Harry, Ron and Hermione with my own eyes."
"That's interesting. Did you get involved?"
"I wanted to intervene, but Rowena didn't give me a chance. I could only say a few words to her from a distance."
"That's because I felt that someone was secretly manipulating her, most likely Herpo from that timeline," Rowena explained.
"Are there any other interesting stories?" Hermione asked. During their journey, although they briefly traveled through Multiverse, they did not meet other versions of themselves.
"We met a Sixth Tier Voldemort," Rowena said in shock.
"Seriously?"
"Yes. Apparently, in that timeline, Voldemort won the ultimate victory over Battle of Hogwarts. After that, he enslaved the entire planet - mainly Muggles - and killed anyone who disobeyed him."
At this point, she paused and looked at Bellatrix: "I finally understand how disgusting it is when you go crazy."
"That's not me," Bellatrix retorted awkwardly. She knew that if it weren't for the inbreeding problem in her bloodline to be solved, she would indeed be a complete lunatic.
Luck What's interesting is that in this timeline, her mental problems have been cured.
Even the false memory Ian had implanted to make her surrender was removed, and she learned the truth.
It was during that time of honesty that they truly got to know each other and fell in love.
"After terror ruled the entire planet," Rowena continued, "Voldemort discovered that Horcrux could not give him true immortality, and he longed for a more perfect method. After conducting countless failed Dark Magic experiments, he set his sights on the universe."
"He searched the earth and found a spaceship left behind by Lemurian Civilization. After repairing it, he embarked on an interstellar journey. However, just a few decades later, he came back. Although he was injured, his strength reached Sixth Tier."
"Sixth Tier has arrived in just a few decades?" Ian asked in surprise.
"We were also very interested in this, so we found him. After killing him and searching the soul memory, we found that he used a magic system that sacrificed lifespan in exchange for magic power or rapid advancement in rank."
"So, although he has the strength of Sixth Tier, his lifespan is less than 400 years. Moreover, he is actually very weak - at least I can deal with him alone. In the end, he tried to drag us into the grave by destroying the entire planet, but we hid in World Gate."
"That magic system sounds interesting. Let me look at the information later. By the way, how is the mission I gave you?"
"According to my Divination, our general direction is right, but it will take some time," Luna said.
"During my journey, we discovered a race called Novad. They possess very advanced parallel dimension shuttle technology. After thoroughly studying this technology, you should be able to find what we are looking for faster."
Ian then sent the information about Novad to the two of them through the watch on his wrist. Rowena also sent the information about the magic system to Ian.
Luna was just about to check the information, but the movement suddenly stopped.
Her eyes turned completely white in an instant, and even the pupils disappeared. A mysterious power of fate surged deep in her eyes.
After a few minutes, she returned to normal.
"What's wrong? Is it dangerous?" Ian asked eagerly.
"No, I found a new Cornerstone of the Empire. And it's the highest grade."
"Really?" Ian asked excitedly.
In this universe, prophets are highly regarded for many reasons.
For one, they are the perfect vessels that many gods dream of.
Second, they are vital to the prosperity of any race, faction, or civilization.
A prophet can foresee dangers in advance and thereby avoid disaster or destruction.
More importantly, they can discover "Cornerstone" - those key figures who can fundamentally change civilization.
These people may be destined to become strong men who protect civilization, or invent technologies that can promote the leap of civilization.
For example, the reason why Arcane Empire can develop so rapidly is largely because Luna has discovered several "Cornerstone" talents, and the knowledge or technology they created has been of great benefit to the Empire.
And these Cornerstone characters are often ordinary people who look ordinary and are easy to be ignored.
Sometimes they are even found close to death; meaning that without the Prophet, they may have died silently before realizing their great destiny.
According to Luna's research, Cornerstone is also divided into levels. So far, Empire has never found the highest level Cornerstone.
"Who is it?" Ian couldn't hold back his excitement.
Luna waved his hand and used magic power to outline an image in the air.
"His name is Havika Kainaru."
"Morgana, call up this person's data."
"As you wish, boss."
Immediately afterwards, a holographic projection of a young Hawaii boy appeared in front of everyone:
"Havika Kainaru. Age: 15 years old. Family members: 4 people. School: Kanaloa Magic School, fourth grade. Rank: Zero Tier apprentice. Talent level: Level 1."
"Like most Cornerstone, it looks unremarkable, even a little mediocre," Ian commented.
"Since Luna has only sensed him now, it means that his talent has only recently emerged. Has there been any change in his life recently?" Rowena asked.
"Yes," Morgana replied, "He has recently developed a strong interest in Rune Mathematics, and this child is simply talented in this field."
After speaking, she showed some works published by Havika online and the learning materials he purchased.
"Rune Mathematics?"
Muggles people believe that mathematics is the language of the universe, while Arcanist people firmly believe that runes are the language of the universe.
However, with the establishment of Arcane Rune System and the in-depth knowledge of Alchemy Gate, a new field was born - that is Rune Mathematics.
Rune Mathematics is not only used to study the mysteries of the universe, but also is the key to constructing spells - to be precise, constructing magic circles.
Some Arcanist are born with a lack of sensitivity to runes and their interrelationships, making it difficult to create, improve, or modify runes.
However, with Rune Mathematics, the situation is different. As the name suggests, Arcanist can use calculus, geometry and advanced mathematics to systematically understand the purpose and function of each rune.
This way, they can use mathematical formulas to derive, create, and test spells.
This is just the tip of the iceberg among the many uses for this new field.
"Do you want to contact him?" Amelia asked.
"No need. I will send several members of Ghost Squad= to protect him secretly," Ian replied. "In addition, Morgana, hold a Rune Mathematics competition in his school. Once he wins, grant him permission to use part of your computing power and open to him some confidential knowledge in the Library."
"To be precise, only the parts related to his research are open."
"Yes. If he really succeeds in creating something that can fundamentally change Empire, what happens next?"
"When the time comes, I will probably appoint him directly as the tower master. By then, this child will have all the resources needed to change his destiny."
