The Old Man from Eternity

Mrs. Greengrass frowned, pondering the family origins recounted by Xiwen, and trying to unravel the cause and effect of the Greengrass family's Blood Curse.

"So, you have a way to let El absorb the power of Death?" she asked, somewhat uneasy. "But won't it cause any harm by directly allowing such evil power into his bloodline?"

Xiwen shook his head and said, "No. Borrowed power, regardless of its original properties, is merely a unique form of energy as long as the wizard can perfectly control it."

"I'm very familiar with this, so you can rest assured!"

Mrs. Greengrass nodded slightly, looked at Elshiona, and asked, "Elciona, what do you think?"

"Of course I trust Xiwen's judgment!" Elshiona answered without hesitation.

Xiwen clearly saw that Mrs. Greengrass's face darkened considerably...

"El, I think you'd better have some ideas of your own!" Mrs. Greengrass said sternly. "A girl should know how to respect herself and not let others look down on her."

"But that's my own opinion. Does believing others mean I can't have my own opinion?" Elshiona retorted, unconvinced.

Seeing that the mother and daughter were about to start arguing again, Xiwen quickly coughed lightly.

"Ahem, I don't think now is the time to discuss this," Xiwen said awkwardly. "Besides, I think we should first decide which method Elshiona will use to resolve the issue of the Death's Mark."

"Do as you say, Xiwen. Tell me how to absorb the power of Death!" Elshiona said. "Watch me drain that Death's power dry!"

"Hahaha, the power of Death isn't so easily absorbed," Xiwen said, unable to suppress a laugh. "Even the small amount of energy that overflowed from the seal of the alternate dimension is still a tremendous force, enough for many believers on Earth to activate the Dark Barrier."

Seeing that Mrs. Greengrass still looked worried, Xiwen thought for a moment and said to her, "Actually, if you are worried that the power of the Death is too evil and will affect El's bloodline, I can borrow some power from the righteous dimensional gods first, so that El can get used to the process of borrowing power."

"What kind of beings are these dimensional gods you're talking about? Can you be sure their power is harmless?" Mrs. Greengrass asked, still somewhat uneasy.

"Is there any completely harmless power in this world?" Xiwen shook his head slightly and said in a deep voice, "It's just that compared to the power of those evil Demon God, it is more righteous and more balanced."

Under Elshiona's expectant gaze and Lady Greengrass's worried expression, Xiwen slowly formed a circular hand seal.

A phantom appeared within the mudra, constantly shifting between three forms: a closed three-dimensional sphere, a saddle-shaped solid, and a flat plane like a sheet of paper.

The illusory image seemed to contain all the stars in the universe, with stars like pearls and fragments of gold swirling within it.

"The power of Eternity, the power of the universe's beginning." Xiwen gazed at the ever-changing phantom in his hand, somewhat mesmerized, and said, "The Eternity is often described as the sum of all life and all things in the universe. This energy should be the one that best helps El adapt to the feeling of borrowing power."

Borrowing the power of the Eternity was just a spur-of-the-moment idea for Xiwen. Even with his current level of power, borrowing such a high-level power as the Eternity was still extremely difficult for Xiwen.

Moreover, the power of Eternity is too vast and general, making it difficult to find a suitable way to use it in battle. Normally, Xiwen doesn't need to use it. It's only when he needs to infuse power into his bloodline that he happens to recall this power born from the very beginning of the universe.

Xiwen slowly activated this power, guiding it to Elshiona's body.

Just then, a serious question arose in his mind.

"Wait, how do I introduce these Eternity powers into the Death's Mark within El's body?" Xiwen asked, somewhat bewildered.

"I think you should have thought this through beforehand, shouldn't you?" Mrs. Greengrass looked at him with hostility and asked coldly. "Does that mean, in your heart, El is just a tool for you to experiment with new magic?"

Xiwen, drenched in cold sweat, manipulated the power of Eternity, his heart filled with anxiety.

He was indeed a bit careless this time, thinking that he had a lot of experience in borrowing power, so he didn't pay too much attention to how to use the borrowed power.

However, this time the power borrowed was different from the previous ones. It was not only the power of the Eternity that had never been used before, but also the power that needed to be injected Elshiona Elsieona's most important bloodline as a sorcerer, and then completely filled into the Death's Mark that was buried somewhere in her bloodline.

Just as Xiwen was in a flurry of activity, unsure of what to do, and even struggling to stabilize the hand seals, the ever-changing Eternity power suddenly quieted down.

Like a cosmic dome encompassing all the stars and phenomena, the phantom image condenses into a three-dimensional sphere. However, when the eye is on it, it is not apparent that it is a convex sphere. Instead, it is more likely to be mistaken for a deep hole that can swallow even light.

Xiwen paused for a moment, feeling as if he had seen a "wormhole" in a scientific sense.

This phantom is no longer just energy in the magical sense, but more like a celestial body that combines the essence of the universe and can be expressed using scientific knowledge.

The power emanating from the phantom was captivating, and Xiwen's spirit was instantly sucked into this "wormhole".

The next moment, he felt himself enter another space.

A space filled with stars.

Within this strange space exist countless transparent membranes, each enveloping a miniature universe. These universes are numerous and varied. Standing within this space is like witnessing countless vast worlds slowly taking shape on a macroscopic scale!

However, what astonished Xiwen the most was not this strange space and unique universe, but an old man standing in the space.

He had white hair and a long white beard that reached his collar. He wore a deep purple robe and a matching purple hat that emitted a mysterious light, blending into the universe behind him.

Although his posture was somewhat hunched, the old man's grand aura seemed to cover the entire world!

"Long time no see, Xiaowen."

He said.
