"Gods are also time travelers? This... But all the time travelers who came to this world did not become powerful. If they also came from your world, why did they suddenly master such powerful powers and become gods?" Tasia thought for a long time and shook her head. "You also know that judging from the nature of magic power, no one can master such powerful power all at once."
"Maybe not all at once? Didn't He Xiaoxi say that she had no memory of where she came from? Maybe it's a long process. Just like... eggs need to be hatched." Xiao Chen said his guess while looking for He Xiaoxi in the list. However, after a moment, he shook his head regretfully and said, "No."
"I think it's normal not to have one," said Tasya.
Xiao Chen said: "This just gives us an idea. I will investigate it slowly."

Xiao Chen conducted an investigation in the meditation world, and did not stop reading the diary in reality. He read it and found that the first few chapters were all about how Feng Wen survived the difficult days at the beginning. He worked as a temporary worker, helped in a caravan, and finally found a mercenary group to join, where he learned the basics of magic from a wizard. These contents were basically consistent with what Baron Paragus said, but it was described by Feng Wen himself, so it seemed more real and credible, and people could empathize with him.
Among the several diaries describing the adventures, the last one caught Xiao Chen's attention again. The title of this diary was "Looking for Similar People"
Following the mercenary group, I have been traveling all over the world, whether it is the territory of the northern beastmen or the islands in the south, I have left my footprints. However, the more I travel in this world, the more I feel that this world has a very unusual connection with the China in that world in the past. I saw that many people here can speak some Chinese, I saw that magic words are constructed based on Chinese characters, and I also saw that many idioms and sayings here are exactly the same as those in our world.
This gave me a feeling that there must have been Chinese people in this world. He was not in the same era as me, but he must have been in an earlier era, so he could have left such a deep mark on the whole world. Looking at the ancient magic books in my collection, I know that if there was no other Chinese or a group of Chinese people who traveled through time, this would not make sense.
So, I started to pay attention to various clues of time travel, and I actually made some discoveries.
Once, when I was looking up information in the Royal Library of the Black Dragon Empire, I ran into an old man. He was so old that I couldn't recognize his original appearance, but the tune he hummed made me almost cry. It was a song called "Jasmine Flower".
I stopped him and asked him why he sang "Jasmine Flower" and also asked him if he knew about China.
Unexpectedly, his face flushed, and then he fell down holding his chest. I hurriedly used healing magic to save him and poured a bottle of life-saving potion into him, which saved his life. Unexpectedly, when he woke up and saw me, he started sobbing.
Later, through conversation, I found out that he was indeed a time traveler, a sophomore student named Wang Wenyi.
And I had seen him before I traveled through time. Just a dozen seconds before the earthquake, he passed me by with his schoolbag on his back, but this time, more than 80 years had passed.
His experience was the same as mine, and it was also very bumpy. After many years of hard work, he finally joined the Mage Tower to practice and finally became a mage. However, when I met him, he was already over a hundred years old.
Like me, he began to look for people of the same kind, those who might have traveled through time, after he had acquired certain abilities. He had been looking for more than sixty years, but he had not found any real examples. He had only found two or three possible people in history books, but these people were separated from us by thousands of years, and he could not find any comfort except to sigh and look at the papers.
Only I appeared before him at the end of his life. I was the only living compatriot he met in all these years.
Wang Wenyi talked to me all night long, despite his health problems. We hardly talked about anything about this world, but only about the trivialities of that world.
From the campus beauty to failing the exam, from mobile phone games to cheap restaurants, from missing parents to worrying about lover, memory is truly magical. Clearly, more than ninety years have passed for him and nearly ten years for me, but we both remember those details.
I can remember a parameter of an equipment in a game, and he can remember a joke circulating in the dormitory.
He died the next morning, but I think he died happily. It must be a good thing for a person to die with a smile on his face. Maybe he was glad that this lonely journey was finally over.
After burying him, I decided to give up looking for similar people, because I didn't want to rely on such an illusory thing for the rest of my life. What if there is no time traveler around me in a few hundred years? I decided to leave descendants and establish a family. Maybe there will be compatriots in the future, and they will be able to see this diary I left behind.
I will let my descendants help them and present them with a gift from their compatriots who lived a hundred years ago.
Xiao Chen sighed when he saw this. Feng Wen and Wang Wenyi were really two tragic characters. They were lonely all their lives. Perhaps the only time they were not lonely was that one night.
However, this diary also confirmed his guess that sporadic time travel did exist. Feng Wen's account, as well as the university's appearance after traveling here, showed that the southeast corner of the school was the most damaged, and that was probably where some kind of space-time shock occurred. Perhaps if he went back to that parallel world to investigate the situation there, he would be able to find some clues.
"Master Xiao Chen, I didn't expect our ancestors to leave such instructions." Baron Paragus interrupted Xiao Chen's thoughts. "It seems that cooperating with you is what our ancestors wanted to see. But he certainly didn't expect that you latecomers would be so powerful. It would be a joke to ask us to help you."
Xiao Chen said: "No matter how powerful a person is, he still needs a real helper. As long as you are willing to cooperate with us sincerely, it will definitely be a mutually beneficial thing.
Believe me, you will lose a lot, but you will gain a lot more."
Baron Paragus nodded.
Xiao Chen closed the diary, returned it to the baron, and turned to look towards the window: "Ha, the imperials are coming, my wizard's eye has seen them, let's go and solve these little troubles first." (To be continued)
