?70: Chapter 57 Go Home_2 70: Chapter 57 Go Home_2 Catherine smiled mysteriously, “Nothing much, just some generally vague truths.
They might sound like gibberish to others, but as for him, maybe he really can get something out of it.”
“No wonder you’re the eldest.” Lina gave her a thumbs-up and complimented, “You truly are a master manipulator.”
“If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t speak at all.
Is this a compliment?” Catherine knocked on Lina’s head with a wry smile, “But you really pulled a stunt forcing him to stay.
How did you come up with such an idea?
You certainly have a lot of tricks up your sleeve.”
“It’s written in a book.” Lina casually pulled out a book, “Look, it’s right here, I learned it from this book.”
“Good heavens, aren’t you afraid he has read it too?” Catherine rubbed her forehead in resignation, “Wouldn’t he see through it immediately?”
“Impossible.” Lina confidently stated, “This book is a novel from a century ago, and hardly anyone has read it.
It’s been almost a hundred years since it was last printed.
Moreover, the author was a nobody.
Just look at his ridiculous names, ‘Little Kera,’ ‘Little Lion,’ he would’ve never read this book, and he definitely won’t come across it in the future.
Don’t worry, Big Sister.”
“I hope so.” Catherine pouted, “Now that you’ve said it, it doesn’t seem as reliable.”
The girls were happily chatting as they changed into waterproof clothing.
After a while, the sound of water echoed, and a drenched Pannis emerged from the water, “The other side’s clear, we should get going.”
Catherine handed over the rope to Pannis, “Here, you can tie this on.
Will you be leading the way?”
“Yes, I’ll lead.” Pannis took the rope and gave a deep bow to Catherine, “Thank you, Catherine.
I’ve seen the light.
If it weren’t for you, I might still be going astray, unsure of how long I would continue to do so.
Thanks for helping me realize my true self.
I had lost my way, but now I’m ready to get back on track.
Even though I’m still afraid to face my past, I’ve at least taken the first step, and for that, I’m very grateful.”
“Well, congratulations on your progress.” Catherine was embarrassed by Pannis’s thankfulness, “We’re all partners in this adventure, no need to be so formal.”
“However, I just thought of something.” Pannis looked at Vivian with a smile that was hard to read, “You remember Susanna’s diary, don’t you?”
“Yes, I do.
What about it?” Vivian answered, perplexed.
“I remember the diary mentioned that three bottles of Life Force Potion were created.
Isn’t that correct?” asked Pannis.
Vivian suddenly became a little nervous and confirmed, “Yes, that’s correct, there were three bottles.”
Pannis exaggeratedly counted on his fingers, “Look, one bottle was kept in the freezer of the experimental area and was drunk by Farkas.
Another one was in the freezer of the core area, to be handed over at the end of 2924.
That’s one, two, so where’s the third bottle?”
“Who knows?” Vivian shrugged, “Maybe the director greedily drank it.”
“Yeah, maybe that’s what happened.” Pannis clapped his hands with a sudden realization, speaking loudly, “Maybe the director got greedy and claimed it for himself.
However, something with such rich life force would easily be noticed by others if consumed.
He was about to return to the capital to submit his work, so he might not dare to drink it.
So, he probably hid the potion during the chaos of the demonized energy outbreak, planning to drink it later.
Sadly, he underestimated the severity of the outbreak, and was fully turned into a demon before he could drink it.
Don’t you think this conjecture makes sense?”
“Hehe, hehe, it does, it makes a lot of sense.” Vivian nervously chuckled in response.
“If that’s the case, where would he have hidden the potion?” Pannis gazed at her with a suspicious smile, “Could it be hidden in the secret compartment in his bedroom?”
“How could that be?
The potion has to be kept at a low temperature.
If it was hidden in a secret compartment, it would have been ineffective by now.” Vivian’s gaze wavered as she answered, “Maybe, maybe he hid it somewhere else, or maybe he accidentally broke it.
Don’t get hung up on these details, let’s just go home.”
“You’re right, maybe he did accidentally break it.
Okay, let’s go home.” Pannis turned and walked towards the water.
His faint smile gradually turned into a hearty laughter.
His gaze seemingly penetrated through the layers of rock and reached the sky in the distant desert, “I’ve finally taken the first step.
My knight, my love.”
In the midst of laughter, a subtle yet mysterious pulse of energy rapidly spread unnoticed among the girls, reaching every corner of Yarra.

Above the plains, atop a tower.
A towering Mage Tower floats above the plains of the Mage Country of Butte.
The Mage in the dark robe stands before the alchemy table in the lab at the top of the Mage Tower, each hand holding a crystal bottle.
His old, gaunt hands covered in age spots consistently tremble, but during the experiment, they are exceptionally steady.
The hand pouring the potion does not tremble at all.
“Hm?” The old Mage suddenly halted his experiment, looking out the window: “An Inherent Psychic Domain?
After thirty years of silence, has another Demigod been born in the Yarran World?
No, it’s…
it’s Kyle.
Has your Inherent Psychic Domain finally awakened?
Over a hundred years, and you have…
not died yet?”
The old Mage put down the crystal bottle, gently stroking his aged face woven with wrinkles: “Is this the power of the Divine Death Curse reversed?
Any death-related effect would not occur on you, including aging…including…time.
I am really envious of you, you would never experience our worries, the troubles of aging, and…
fear.”
“Congratulations, my friend.”
Above the skies, atop a mountain.
The highest peak of the Winged People Mountain Range.
Black and white wings flutter in the air, the identical Light and Dark Twins, circling and singing loudly around the top of the mountain, as they do every day, monotonous, but happy.
Suddenly, the twins’ singing halted abruptly, both of their gazes simultaneously fixated on the south.
“An Inherent Psychic Domain.”
“It’s Brother Kyle.”
“Sister Nellie can rest easy now.”
“Yes indeed, what she was most worried about before leaving must have been Brother Kyle.”
“Poor Brother Kyle must miss Sister Nellie a lot.”
“I miss Sister Nellie too, I want to see her again.”
“I miss her too, let’s go to the Sighing Desert to mourn Sister Nellie.”
“Okay, let’s go.”
The Lost Forest.
The City of Life, the capital of the Elves.
The meeting of the highest authority of the Elves—the Elder Council is ongoing, but the Elf Queen, an important member of the meeting, is staring blankly at the sky.
“Your Majesty, the Queen.” For the attention of the Queen, the old Elf raised his voice, only for her to wave her hand lightly: “Quiet, another Inherent Psychic Domain.”
“Another Demigod?” The old elf, not a Demigod, could not perceive the energy fluctuation of the Inherent Psychic Domain.
“No, an old friend, it’s Kyle.” The Elf Queen smiled and muttered to herself: “The effect of the Death Curse reversed, truly undying, never dying no matter what.
Haha, old friend, can you still refuse my feelings because you only have a hundred years of life?
Can you still reject our Life Sharing Ceremony with the excuse of not wanting to drag me down and reduce my lifespan?
Although I don’t know where you are, as long as you don’t die, we will meet sooner or later.
Kyle, Nellie is gone, now you are mine.”
