After listening to his mother's explanation, Harry nodded and said, "I know that you and Uncle Snape have many opportunities to be together, but I still hope that you can give your father a real chance to establish a real relationship instead of keeping him out of sympathy."

Although Snape raised him, Harry still hopes that his father can have a happy life.

That man sacrificed his life to protect his son, so after Resurrection, he deserves to have a good family life.

After listening to Harry's words, Lily realized that she might be too harsh on James, so she said, "I will. Tell me about you, why don't you look good?"

"It's JJ (Little James), he's causing trouble again."

"Really? Call him here and I'll talk to him."

Harry opened his mouth to say something, but finally closed it and contacted his second son directly.

Although Little James was deeply unwilling, he was deeply in awe of this grandmother and did not dare not to come.

In the room, Lily faced his grandson alone, looking him up and down.

He has tattoos all over his arms and face, various ear piercings, a mohawk haircut, and dyed purple.

Wearing a tight black leather jacket and high boots.

From his red eyes, Lily could tell at a glance that he had just taken powerful hallucinogens, maybe even some illegal drugs.

"It's really creative," she commented coldly. Then she contacted Snape to send him a bottle of antidote and handed it to her grandson.

"You are wasting that bottle of Dragon Blood Potion," she said, looking at Little James which was still at Fourth Tier.

Little James drank the potion, lowered his head and said nothing. But his whole body exuded a resistance atmosphere of "I don't care what you say".

Lily handed him a piece of parchment. "Before we can start talking, sign this confidentiality contract. It will protect the memories you see next."

Little James immediately realized that the matter was serious, and even needed to sign a confidentiality agreement.

He wanted to refuse, but when he saw his grandmother's sharp eyes, he was instantly deterred.

Lily put two fingers on his temples, pulled out a strand of silver hair-like memory, and put it into his mind.

"Watch it."

Little James closed his eyes. After an unknown amount of time, when he opened his eyes again, his forehead was covered with large beads of sweat and his body was shaking violently.

"Is this... is this true?"

"Yes, this is the power of god Tenth Tier," Lily replied calmly, "And in the vast universe, there are countless existences more powerful than him. Even he was injured in that battle."

"Injured?"

"Yes, most of his attacks only reach the level of Ninth Tier, and only a few of them reach the level of Tenth Tier."

Little James's legs felt weak and he had to find a chair to sit down to avoid collapsing to the ground.

"Do you understand? In the face of the vast universe, your so-called rebellion and troubles are insignificant. Although it sounds cruel, it is the truth. We live in a world that may be destroyed at any time. Those powerful gods can wipe out all of us with one blow as long as they discover Empire - except maybe the members of the Imperial Family."

"Why are you telling me this?"

"I tell you this to make you realize what is important. I know that living in a family where the whole family is a magic genius is very stressful and not pleasant. But now you also have extremely high magic talent."

"In this world, there are countless people who are willing to pay any price to have an opportunity like yours. Don't let this opportunity slip through your fingers. Focus on your magic research and promotion, so that one day, you can also have a place in the universe."

"Or at least, have the right to survive."

A few minutes later, Little James left the house in a daze. He looked worried and didn't say a word when he left.

"What did you say to him?" Harry asked.

"I let him see what 'divine power' is."

Harry was so shocked that he couldn't speak. After a while, he asked, "Do you think it will be useful?"

"If it doesn't work, throw him into the army, or let him rot in prison and pay for his actions."

Harry sighed and nodded. He asked Ginny to go see his son, while he went to see his father.

He guessed that his father should go find Lupin at this moment.

As for Lily, she began to write the teachings of the "Druid Profession" she founded.

She also planned to spend more time with James as Harry suggested. Although this move made Snape very unhappy, he did not complain verbally.

After all, he also has his own research to do and preparations for the "Akashic Records" project.

After those things are finished, he will have plenty of time to spend with Lily.

After planning for Milky Way Galaxy's future turmoil, Ian still has two things to accomplish before Interstellar Federation arrives.

The first thing he did was allow Chloe to enter "Time Acceleration Chamber" so that she could be promoted to a higher rank as soon as possible.

After that, he will send her to Dimension Research Institute and use her "Dreamwalker" ability to find Dream Dimension in this universe.

He also organized a group of people to use the "Lich Lord" he brought back to explore whether there is a dimension related to Abyss.

The second thing is that he launched a project aimed at exploring whether there is "Blank Domain" or a gap space between parallel dimensions in this universe.

Another team composed of scientists, mathematicians, physicists and Arcanist was also organized to study the Novad family's technology based on Black Hole.

After arranging all this, Ian began to teleport between different planets in Solar System, while secretly casting a spell on the scale of Planetary Level.

On Jupiter, he suddenly appeared in front of a random ordinary citizen.

Before the other party could speak, countless runes instantly surrounded him. Immediately afterwards, the person's body turned into countless tiny particles and dissipated, and Ian had a diamond in his hand - the person's soul was imprisoned inside.

After doing all this, no one around noticed him, as if he had never appeared.

He came quietly and left quietly.

Later, he went to see Alti, the tower master responsible for researching Herpo.

"Your Majesty, it's a pleasure to see you again," she saluted with a smile, and Ian nodded in greeting.

After a brief greeting, the two got down to business, and Ian checked her research progress.

The data shows that in just over three years, she has achieved considerable results, which makes Ian very satisfied.

Subsequently, he entered the pocket dimension where Herpo was imprisoned through projection.

Ian looked at the man who was once considered his biggest enemy.

His huge body, which was originally over 5 meters tall, has shrunk to just over 2 meters.

The black robe that was once full of mystery now seemed ordinary, and the sense of oppression and Divine Radiance around him had also been greatly reduced.

This is expected, after all, in the past three years, his Divine Power has been continuously extracted.

Unlike other gods, he does not seem to be able to use Divine Kingdom; there may even be no Divine Kingdom at all, as he appears to only occupy Underworld, rather than being the master of Underworld.

"How do you think about it? Surrender to me, hand over all your knowledge, and I will give you freedom."

"I said, I will never bow to you, wizard."

"Has faith corrupted your brain to this extent?" Ian asked, "In the past, you were a cunning and ambitious dark wizard who would do anything to survive. But now, you think you are a god, and you refuse to bow to mortals even if you pay the price of your life."

In order to learn the truth from Herpo, Ian once took the risk to use "Time Rewind" to check what happened twelve thousand years ago.

He saw the process of Herpo becoming a god and the disastrous consequences of that promotion.

Because of this, he knew that much of what Herpo said to him in their early interactions were lies.

But this does not prevent him from understanding the essence of Herpo.

Herpo remained silent.

Ian waved his hand, and a soul appeared in the sky.

"Do you recognize this, right? This is the leader of Death Cult. You used some kind of reincarnation magic to set up a mechanism that will elect a new leader whenever the old leader dies. I guess you probably want to use him to Resurrection yourself."

"But now, this opportunity is gone."

Seeing that soul, Herpo was obviously excited, but he remained silent.

"Unfortunately, this is your last chance," Ian sighed, with a hint of disappointment in his tone.

After leaving the pocket dimension, Ian began to assist Alti in operations.

During his previous journey, he learned a lot about Divinity's energy, so he optimized the energy extraction enchantment to instantly drain all the energy from Herpo's body, making him almost powerless.

Finally, he connected with Floating City and imposed a seal on Herpo's soul and his "Authority".

After doing all this, everything is ready.

Alti watched the consul leave with Herpo's body, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart:

Today will be a day that will be forever engraved in the history of the Empire.

She then turned her attention to the new energy data of Divinity obtained as compensation.

A bright smile appeared on her face, because she knew that with these data, she could improve their tribe's "Ancestral Spirit Magic".

A few months have passed, and Empire has entered high-speed development mode.

On this day, a huge spaceship tried to teleport directly to the outer reaches of Solar System Earth, but was intercepted and forced to appear at the edge of the galaxy.

As soon as they appeared, they found themselves surrounded.

A Empire main battleship was pointing an extremely terrifying cannon at them.
