Once, there was a chance placed in front of Ye Xian, but Ye Xian didn't cherish it. It was only after missing it that he realized, regrets come too late!

Recalling his scumbag teacher again at this moment, Ye Xian couldn't help clenching his fists: Why was I so focused on smashing doors back then, instead of slapping you?

This kind of thing is like the pesky Old Deng sitting along the kids' school path to tease fools for fun.

"Let me tell you a secret, little universe, little baby isn't brought by storks or given after a phone recharge. It's after mommy and daddy had a loving moment!"

And when the kid excitedly asked their parents what that loving moment meant, the mischievous Old Deng would already be laughing...

Indeed, such a world-class jerk, only alive to make food prices soar!

Why isn't he dead yet after all these years?!

If he died, he might even trick a couple of tears, not be as annoying as he is alive.

Fixing broken pipes and doing masonry in this crappy world is one thing, but dragging students down with you? Shameless!

At this moment, Ye Xian coldly looked at the student in front of him, only warning sternly after seeing no trace of being enticed:

"Stay away from that old Heavenly Furnace, keep your distance!"

"Huh? Yes, sure, no problem!"

Ji Jue nodded fiercely like pounding garlic.

This time, it's absolutely heartfelt!

Regret.

Who could have thought, with all the precautions, after so long, Heavenly Furnace silently played a trick, almost arranging everything quietly...

You damned scoundrel, you truly deserve a bad end!

Deserve to be old and alone, alienated by everyone!

"And also, about the lock stuff, don't talk carelessly outside or investigate on your own," Ye Xian warned, "It's not your time to know these things yet, save your thoughts for when you become a master!"

"Sure, sure, no problem!"

Ji Jue didn't hesitate at all.

Not every question must get an answer, anyway, even a quick thought says this is a deadly topic.

The waters are so deep, if I recklessly stumble upon something, I might be caught and exploited!

For now, better to sneakily develop.

"...Silence Crystal, forget it, it's not your issue."

Ye Xian sighed, glanced at the hourglass that had been with him for years, seeing it nearing its end, he had to make the most of the time.

"As for the Evil Demons, just see them as Mutated Transformations with a particularly big threat to the present world.

Unlike those who foolishly worship the Great Evil, in a way, they are the main force of the Great Evil, supernatural beings that can act in the present world.

To put it..."

She paused, her expression slightly sarcastic, "It's quite like you."

"..."

Ji Jue was dumbfounded, completely flustered.

How is it like me!

Yet recalling what Chen Haiqiu said about those traits, couldn't help but feel tight in his chest, the sulfur and ash scent all over...

Hell!

"Rest assured, you just have a tiny bit of potential, still far from it."

After savoring his look of fear, Ye Xian slowly spoke: "Just like this world has Chosen Ones favored and summoned by the Superior, how can you be sure— the Great Evil won't point you out?"

Who wouldn't want talented gems?

Who says the evil organizations don't value talent?

The Superior generously summons Chosen Ones, even far beneath the Vortex, the Great Evil won't miss a chance either.

Just like Jian Yuan attempted to test Ji Jue before.

If he hadn't escaped, he'd surely be sent below the Vortex for a round, to attend the Great Evil's collective recruitment at the Vortex talent market.

However, to emerge from countless consumables and receive the essence of the Great Evil, who knows what kind of face Ji Jue might have then.

The so-called Evil Demons are those born with an affinity for the Great Evil, and after going through the Great Evil's ritual, are bestowed the Essence of Evil Fool.

If the existence of the Chosen Ones is the envoy of the Superior, then the Evil Demons are the extension of the Great Evil in the human world...

Like the ant hole on the dam, its mere existence is enough to burden, erode and damage the lock.

And correspondingly...

Ye Xian didn't continue but glanced at the scumbag in front of him.

A silent sigh.

The Chosen Ones loved and favored by the Superior, who can maintain the lock between the Vortex and the real world, are called "Wedge."

But that realm and position are too far from the current Ji Jue.

It doesn't necessarily concern him.

As long as I'm alive, I won't allow my student to step on the path Heavenly Furnace intended... Fixing and patching up his whole life, isn't it enough?

Must he affect his successors, ruin the 'descendants'?

Even if shameless, there should be a limit.

Better die soon!

Tick tock!

In the Silence Hourglass, the last grain of sand vanished without a trace, as the hourglass returned to silence, the invisible power that shrouded the entire study disappeared instantly.

Soft sounds of tide and birds chirping came from outside the window.

[Silence] Ended.

Ye Xian looked down at the hourglass on the table, a trace of regret flashing in her eyes.

Used for so many years, who'd have thought it'd break down today.

"Forget it, at least it fulfilled its purpose."

She sighed, picked it up and tossed it to Ji Jue.

This type of consumable can't be reforged, once the internal blessing is used up, it's useless, might as well use it as scrap one last time.
