Chapter 1734: 472 Matthew’s Decision! … “You know, I’ve never been fond of long-winded speeches, so I’ll keep it simple. If there’s anything you don’t understand, feel free to interrupt and ask; if you do not interrupt, I will assume you understood,” said the little girl, speaking at a brisk pace. Matthew nodded immediately upon hearing this. “Good, let’s get to the point then,” she said, her eyelashes fluttering slightly, her skin seeming a few shades fairer and more delicate than before: “The so-called ‘vanished historic world’ is actually a misnomer.” “Its actual concept refers to ‘a window that appears periodically in the Mirror World and can lead to the Original World,’ and what we’re vying for in the historic world is, in fact, the key that opens the window to the Original World…” “Under normal development of the Multiverse.” “This window is essentially unobservable, unfathomable, and unapproachable.” “And the reason we can become special Observers or even contenders is that we rely on the Secret Treasure left by Yin, which ultimately allows us to lock onto that window…” A Calamity Mage’s doing? Matthew wasn’t surprised by this; to the world of Aindor, the Calamity Mage was like a God of Creation bringing dimension-reducing strikes. A casual stroke of hers could become a trace that all beings would look up to. Matthew pondered and said: “Excuse the interruption, but I want to know what the ‘Original World’ means.” The little girl quickly explained: This ancient town flew under the radar so not many tourists came hence, they only got visitors during the peak tourist season when there was severe road congestion and tourists would rest in this town. Having heard the backstory, everyone realized why there were so many signboards advertising guest houses in the town. Some even reckoned that even if this side trip was a bust, it was worth it to visit this ancient town. As soon as they entered the town, they became the center of attention. Due to Lin Xi’s beauty, the town inhabitants ogled at her making her feel a bit awkward. Gu Fan found it strange; it was one thing for men to steal extra glances at Lin Xi, but he couldn’t understand why even women were staring at her. He wondered if the residents of this old town were attracted to both genders. Since it wasn’t peak tourist season, business was slow and guesthouse owners quickly came up to them with warm greetings. Du Jun assumed the role of a leader, wanting to evaluate the living conditions before selecting a few satisfactory guesthouses and bargaining their rates. Lastly, he discussed the choices with everyone else. Gu Fan had to admit that he admired Du Jun at times and Du Jun indeed had great leadership qualities and everyone respected him for that. At this point, Lu Yi nudged Gu Fan and quietly said, “If you don’t act soon, your momentum will be dwarfed by your love rival. Don’t forget why we came here in the first place.” As a man, Gu Fan didn’t want to let Lu Yi down, but he wasn’t excited about this rivalry either. He just wanted to get through the night safely and hoped that they could return smoothly the next day. However, the issue was that no guesthouse could accommodate all of the sixteen people and the bus driver so they had to split into three groups and stay in separate guesthouses. Gu Fan naturally chose to stay in the same guesthouse as his best friend, Lu Yi. Lin Xi, Gu Fan’s girlfriend, also stayed in the same guesthouse, albeit a different room. “The disaster originates from the Original World, not our Mirror World itself.” “With my divination spells, I’ve seen that the Aindor of the Original World has become the most desolate place I’ve ever witnessed in my life—” Their material layer completely collapsed. The Cosmic Womb shattered beyond repair, unable to nurture new life anymore. It was a universe drained of all its thermal energy, reduced to barren silence. Ultimately, It became the breeding ground for the giant beasts…” “And now, a great cataclysm is rushing towards the Mirror World in the form of a projection, and there’s nothing we can do here but watch helplessly as this world heads towards destruction.”
