"Ash, wake up."
"Let me sleep a little longer..."
Ash, who was lying on the table, rubbed his eyes and sat up, yawned and fell back, sinking into the lazy sofa. He glanced at it with sleepy eyes and saw a soft red.
Just when he was about to take a nap again, he suddenly woke up with a start and looked at the girl in front of him with wide eyes.
"Sword Princess!?"
Ash subconsciously smoothed his bangs to tidy up his appearance, "Didn't we agree to meet tonight... Hey? Witch, why are you here too?"
"Can't I be there?!" Diya grabbed the bunny doll and threw it directly at Ash, angrily saying, "Do you dislike me ruining your first date?"
"No," Ash's memory gradually began to recover: "Didn't you say that you would open the door to come to the Starry Kingdom in three days? Why are you here?"
Last night, they reunited at Ruby Mountain. As soon as Ash said he came to the Stars to see Sword Princess, the Witch immediately said she wanted to come to the Stars as well, and then they started arguing. Ash really couldn't bear to see two people who were so close to each other quarreling over him, so he directly suggested that they fast forward to the fight.
But the witch said it would take three days to arrive, so how come she attacked them just one day later
"Ash, if you weren't just staring at the two of them, you'd notice there are a lot of people here."
Ash turned his head and found himself in a huge foggy space. In front of him was a huge round table with a book in the middle. There were eleven people sitting around the table, and everyone's chairs were different.
The person who reminded him just now was An Nan, the purple moth that he had not seen for several months. She was sitting in the office chair, touching her amethyst earrings, and smiled at Ash to say hello.
To the right of Ash is Sonia, who is sitting on a single sofa. Next to Sonia is Diya, who is sitting on the Gospel Throne. Next to Diya is…
"Silver lamp?"
Ash was startled, but then shook his head, his voice trembling slightly: "No, you are... Weisser?"
Next to Diya was a silver-haired girl sitting on an illusory chair. She sat upright with a blank expression on her face and an unfocused gaze, like a ghost that had left the world. When she heard Ash's call, she tilted her head slightly and looked over, then smiled slightly, her transparent face glowing with a myriad of colors, like a painting that suddenly came to life.
"Ash." Weisser smiled, "It's me."
Ash let out a groan that seemed to come from the deep wrinkles of his soul. He rubbed his eyes hard, crying and laughing: "I knew you wouldn't die like this... That's great, it's really great..."
"Can you two go find a kindergarten to play house instead of embarrassing yourself here?"
Ash looked over, instantly filled with rage and tried to stand up: "Vichy!
!”
Next to Weisser was Vichy sitting on the chained throne!
She was wearing a dark long dress, with two curly ponytails hanging on both sides. She leaned against the back of the chair with her legs crossed, and her expression was as cold as a poisonous snake.
"Don't waste your energy,"
Wei Xi said coldly: "If I could do it, I would have killed you long ago."
Ash then realized that he couldn't use his magic power, and couldn't sense the magic spirit at all. Even his body was fixed on the seat and he couldn't stand up. He quickly calmed down and realized that he was involved in an incredible incident.
Next to Vichy was a woman sitting on the Star Ring Throne. She sat quietly with a blank expression and had no inclination to join in the discussion.
Next to her was Felix, who was looking panic-stricken. Not to mention the loss of her magical power, even if she hadn't lost it, the power of a mere two-wing magician couldn't bring her the slightest sense of security.
Next to Felix was Tamashi, who was wearing her Raven Killer suit as usual, sitting on the skeletal throne. Facing Ash's gaze, Tamashi nodded slightly. It hadn't been long since they'd parted. The destruction of Senluo, the Black Crows' Thousand Wish, and Ash's entry into the stars were just the day before yesterday, but they cared about each other's safety more than anyone else. There were many things they wanted to say in their hearts, but seeing each other safe was enough.
Next to Tamashi is Annan, next to Annan is a black-haired, blood-red-eyed girl who is somewhat unfamiliar to Ash, and next to the black-haired, blood-red-eyed girl, that is, to Ash's left, is a very quiet Veela.
"Freya?" Ash was slightly startled, then smiled and said, "Long time no see! You have become much prettier and cuter, I couldn't recognize you for a moment."
Freya looked at him stupidly, unable to say a word. It was only when Shivlin poked her waist that she came back to her senses. For some reason, tears were streaming down her face. She wiped her tears and sobbed, "A-Axiu, so, so long... I'm sorry..."
"Why are you apologizing?" Ash didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He reached out to wipe Freya's tears. "Shouldn't you be happy to see each other again after such a long separation? Stop crying. You've cried like a kitten."
Freya nodded heavily. She was clearly crying, but her smile was still incredibly bright. She foolishly grabbed Ash's wrist, and was so cute that it melted the hearts of the onlookers.
"She has been chasing you since you left Blood Moon." The black-haired girl with bloodshot eyes said, "She is satisfied just because you can recognize her."
"It's you, 222!" Ash said in surprise, "You're here too!"
Shivlin was shocked: "How did you recognize me? You have never seen-"
"Voice, you are my first friend, how could I forget your voice." Ash smiled and said, "It seems that you and Freya are good friends. Thank you for taking care of her."
Shivlin was stunned, turned her head away and said, "Now is not the time to reminisce about the past."
If Ash is the central axis, then on his right are Sonia, Diya, Weisser, Vichy, and the mysterious woman, and on his left are Freya, Shifrin, Annan, Tamashi, and Felix.
He vaguely sensed that this seating arrangement seemed to have a hidden meaning, but before he could think about it, the mysterious woman suddenly asked, "Ash Hiss, what were you doing before entering this place?"
"What does it have to do with you?" Diya was quite alert: "Shouldn't I first introduce myself before asking someone a question?"
"You don't know Ash, either?" An Nan looked at the mysterious woman and said meaningfully, "I thought everyone here was related to you, Ash."
Ash shook his head, and Sonia said, "She is indeed someone related to Ash, but Ash doesn't know her, and she knows Ash, so it is very likely... she is someone who has intentions towards Ash."
Now everyone looked at the mysterious woman with suspicion. At this time, Wei Xi said leisurely: "If I were you, I would be more respectful and polite."
Everyone who had come into contact with Vichy was quite surprised. How could such an unruly sorcerer like Vichy be so awed by this mysterious woman
The mysterious woman opened her lips slightly: "Have you seen me?"
"I have never met you before," Weishi glanced at her sideways, but his expression was full of solemnity and even vigilance: "But I have more or less learned about you through various channels. After all... you are the oldest magician of the contemporary era, the target of countless demigods, the Lord of Stars."
The Lord of Stars!
Ash and the others' fears shrank suddenly—the Lord God who stood at the pinnacle of magician civilization and ruled the Seven Heavens was actually right in front of them!
"Wait," Diya immediately realized a terrifying question: "Could it be that even you... can't leave your seat, and can't use your magic power?"
Fanxing nodded slightly, but knowing that such a strong man was also in the same predicament did not make others happy. Instead, their hearts sank - if even the Lord God could not contend with such a powerful force, then wouldn't they, a group of mortals who were not even demigods, be in great danger
"So, Ash Hiss, can you tell me what you were doing before you came in here?" Fanxing asked again.
This time, Ash didn't dare to show off. Although Fanxing couldn't do anything here, once they returned to the outside world, the thundering wrath of the Six-Winged God was not something a mere legend like him could withstand.
"Before I came here..." Ash searched his memory: "I should have been preparing for a date tonight..."
"What date?" Freya interrupted.
"It's my first date with Sonia." Ash answered honestly, "This is the first time we meet in real life—"
"Stop talking nonsense. No one is interested in listening to your kindergarten-level love story." Weixi said coldly.
They couldn't afford to offend Fanxing, but they wouldn't be polite to Vichy, their sworn enemy. After glaring at her, Ash continued, "Then... I remembered that I was going to use the "Small Four-Pillar Gate" to take Yin Gula and Harvey into Ruby Mountain, and then I suddenly fell into a deep sleep, and when I woke up I was already here!"
"Small Four-Pillar Gate? Leading people into Ruby Mountain?" Wei Xi showed a trace of curiosity, "Do the Four-Pillar Gods have such a prop?"
Ash ignored her and looked at the stars: "That's all I remember. I only know the name and usage of the Small Four-Pillar Gate. I've never used it before."
"Hmm..." Fanxing pondered, "If what you said is true, we can only speculate that your small four-pillar gate triggered the hidden mechanism of the virtual realm, causing us to be teleported to this space."
"Is it definitely me who caused this?" Ash was a little confused. "It can't be—"
"When we were teleported here, everyone was awake." Diya said, "Only you, Ash, were sleeping. You are highly suspicious."
"But this can't be confirmed to be Ash's fault, right?" Sonia said carefully.
Weisser frowned slightly and questioned, "Is it really possible for a mere legendary magician like Ash to trigger a virtual realm mechanism that even the Lord God cannot contend with?"
Everyone's eyes were focused on Fanxing, even Vichy. In their opinion, Ash had no right to take the blame, and only Fanxing could touch the secrets of the virtual world, cross the distance between the human world and heaven, and bring all of them together.
Even Fanxing was not sure. After all, she had fallen into a deep sleep and possessed Felix's shadow, Fili, to use the miracle of fate to advance the angel hunt. No one was more surprised than her to be suddenly pulled in here. She even suspected that it was a counterattack by the source angel.
At this moment, the huge copper plate book in the center of the round table suddenly glowed with golden light and floated into the air, then flew towards Ash. Ash hesitated for a moment, turned the page, and said:
"Congratulations everyone for participating in Future Echoes. The rules of Future Echoes will be read out by Ash Hiss."
“First, due to the strong request of drama poets, this rule emphasizes that “Future Echoes” has nothing to do with drama poets. Please do not vent your anger on innocent people.”
“Secondly, there are two parts in ‘Future Echoes’: the introduction part and the voting part.”
"During the introduction phase, each candidate must read out key information about their future. This rule hereby promises that no one can cheat during the introduction phase. All recorded information is true and everyone can trust it."
“During the voting phase, everyone has the right to vote and can vote for any candidate.”
"Third, the candidate with the most votes will trigger the Eight-Winged Miracle "Future Echoes"."
"'Future Echo': The recipient will permanently gain future memories, virtual wings, magic realms, and magic spirits. For example, if Ash can become an eight-winged magician in the future, then after activating Future Echo, Ash, who is currently a legendary magician, will directly become an eight-winged magician, gain the corresponding magic resources and future memories, and there is no cost."
"Fourth, if there is more than one person with the most votes, we will vote again until the recipient of the future echo is chosen."
“Fifth, the person with the number is the candidate.”
"Sixth, the future anchor point chosen this time is 1699."
"The rules are that simple, just relax and enjoy. Over!"
Ash stopped reading and waited a few seconds for everyone to digest the information before he said, "It's forced reading. I can't stop when I'm reading."
“‘Future Echoes’… does such a miracle really exist!?” Vichy’s forced calm tone concealed an unprecedented enthusiasm: “This is not just about the time faction, it definitely involves the truth faction and the destiny faction, and if everything can be copied, then it must involve all factions… In other words, this is the ultimate miracle that can only be created by gathering the essence of all magic factions!”
"I have never heard of such a miracle," Fanxing said, "but I do not deny the possibility of this."
"The future anchor point is 1699, which is 30 years from now." An Nan looked at Yaxiu and said, "If Yaxiu can be promoted to God Lord in 30 years, and you get the highest number of votes, can you be promoted to God Lord directly now?"
Sonia's heart moved, and she looked at Diya and Weisser, revealing a confident smile.
Together with Ash, that's four votes. There are 11 people in total, and their four votes are hard to shake. Ash is 100% guaranteed to be admitted!
Wei Xi seemed to realize this as well. He gave them a cold look and said, "He thinks he can be promoted to Lord God in 30 years... He's dreaming!"
At this moment, their personal numbers and numeric keypads appeared on the desk in front of them. Everyone immediately realized the problem: everyone had a numeric keypad, but there were only ten personal numbers.
Sonya is "1", to Stars is "5", then Freya is "6", to Felix is "10".
Only Ash doesn't have a personal number!
Wei Xi reacted immediately and sneered, "Just now, the rules mentioned the introduction phase and specifically used the term 'candidates', but used 'everyone' in the voting phase. I thought it was nonsense, but I didn't expect... Ash Hiss, you are not a candidate, you only have the right to vote, but you can't be voted for!"
"So what?" Sonia said calmly, "No matter how you vote, no one will vote for you, Ghost Prophet."
Vichy restrained her smile and fell silent, narrowing her eyes slightly. From afar, Ash seemed to be able to hear countless conspiracies and tricks bubbling in her mind.
At this time, Sonia's personal number "1" lit up, and the copperplate book flew in front of Sonia. Ash wanted to speak, but found that he couldn't say a word, and the same was true for others, as if everyone was muted.
Only candidates in the introduction phase have the right to speak.
Sonia took a deep breath, adjusted her mood, and opened the copperplate book:
"Name: Sonia Servi"
"Gender: Female"
"Birthday 8.16"
"Guardian Spirits Destroy the Resentful Brilliant Dragon"
Suddenly, Sonia's eyes shrank and her voice trembled, but she still couldn't stop and continued to read:
"Seven Wings Highest Rank"
"Core faction supreme swordsmanship, supreme sound art"
"Core Spirit Seven-Winged Spirit Shattered Lake, Seven-Winged Spirit Tear Lake"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, but the surprise was far from over:
"Spouse Ash Hiss"
"Descendants: Adam, the first son of Ash, and Eve, the third daughter of Ash"
"Future Message will trigger Future Echo soon, so that you can realize your wish at this moment!"
"Introductions completed."
Although Sonia's introduction ended here, everyone was still feeling very upset.
Sonia actually surpassed the Six-Winged Lord in the future and was promoted to the Seven-Winged Supreme!
Or is he the master of both swordsmanship and music
She is married to Ash and has a son and a daughter
And what about the future message? Could it be a message from the future Supreme Sword Sound to Sonia
Endless questions popped up in everyone's mind, but everyone was silent and could not discuss at all. They could only express their feelings with strong gazes.
As the object of everyone's attention, Sonia seemed very calm. She turned her head to look at Ash with a half-smile on her face.
The copperplate book turned to the front of No. 2 Diya. Diya looked at Ash, and after receiving encouragement from Ash's eyes, she carefully opened the copperplate book:
"Name: Lysdia Yinsu"
"Gender: Female"
"Birthday 10.10"
"Guardian Spirit Bell Bronze Dragon"
"Seven Wings Highest Rank"
"Core Faction Supreme Time, Supreme Fist and Claw"
"The Core Spirit, the Seven-Winged Spirit Fairy Tale, the Seven-Winged Spirit Gospel"
"Spouse Ash Hiss"
“No offspring situation”
"Message from the Future: Don't let Sonia trigger the Future Echo. Anyone else will do as long as it's not her!"
Everyone's expressions became more and more exciting, and their eyes swept back and forth between Sonya and Diya. Not only because Diya would also be the Seven Wings Supreme in the future, but also because of that message for the future.
Could it be that in the future, Diya and Sonia have a very bad relationship, and as long as Sonia can be suppressed, it doesn't matter even if it benefits others
And does it really not matter? Is it okay if Vichy triggers the Future Echo
Diya and Sonia looked at each other, then turned their heads away at the same time, thinking about their own things.
The copperplate book came to No. 3 Weisser, who opened it directly and read aloud:
"Name: Orchid Weisser"
"Gender: Female"
"Birthday 4.10"
"Guardian Spirit Reincarnation Mirror Dragon"
"Eight-winged Spirit"
"Core Faction Truth"
"Spouse Ash Hiss"
"The situation of the descendants: the seven sons of Ash are "gods" with destiny, and the eight daughters of Ash are "gods" with luck"
"For future messages, why not vote for Vichy? It will be fun."
ah
A big question mark rose above everyone's head.
Eight-winged god? Will Weisser become an eight-winged god in the future
If the Seven-Winged Supreme is enough to overload everyone's pig brains, then the Eight-Winged God is completely beyond everyone's comprehension. Even Fanxing cannot imagine what kind of existence the Eight-Winged God is.
And her spouse is Ash, so why does she have offspring, and why are they gods?!
The magician and the gods are not just cross-species, they are cross-dimensional. The gods are the embodiment of the law, and having a child with the gods is like having a child with the law that "if the external force applied to an object is zero, the object's speed remains unchanged"!
And it turns out that gods have the ability to reproduce!
Compared with these heavy news, Weisser's son was fate and her daughter was luck, which seemed unremarkable. At this time, someone also looked at Diya. If Ash and Sonia had a child by chance, then Ash and Weisser both had children, which meant that Ash definitely mastered a very efficient reproduction method. Therefore, Ash and Diya's lack of children was definitely not a problem of ability, but due to other reasons.
Weisser first glanced at Ash, then looked at Vichy thoughtfully.
Vichy was also very confused at this time. She was clearly a mortal enemy of Ash and his gang, and she was also one of the culprits who indirectly killed Visser, but why did Visser's message for the future make her vote for herself
Could it be...
An incredible possibility popped up in Vichy's mind. She looked up and saw a hint of ridicule in Weisser's eyes. At this time, the copperplate book floated in front of No. 4 Vichy. Vichy swallowed her saliva and didn't dare to reach out to open it.
After several seconds, Vichy shook his head heavily, his face regained its defiant look, he glared at Ash fiercely, and reached out to open the copperplate book.
