When Fang Zheng opened his eyes again, they had arrived at an endless grassland.

It is dawn now. If the information Erya gave them is correct, then in six hours, a huge disaster will occur here, which will cause the deaths of 130 million people and at the same time... bring a completely different change to the world.

And now, Fang Zheng and the others came here to stop all this.

"Are you all ready?"

Fang Zheng turned around and looked at Kuang San and Shion behind him. Both of them looked a little nervous. Especially Kuang San, whose face, which always had an elegant smile, now looked serious and solemn.

"You all know how to do it, but before we officially start, I must remind you of one thing."

"What is it, Mr. Fang Zheng?"

Looking at the grasslands around, Kuang San seemed a little anxious, but forced herself to calm down and looked at Fang Zheng, asking. Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders and then looked at the two of them.

"Well, first I want to tell you one thing... Don't underestimate the continuity of time."

"Continuity?"

“It’s very simple.”

Looking at the confused Yoshino and Kurumi, Fang Zheng stretched out a finger.

"We have returned from the future to the past, and for this past, our future is certain and certain. At least in the future you are in, Kurumi and Yoshino, both of you have become elves. This is a fait accompli - therefore, don't think that we can stop all this from happening by simply destroying each other's plans."

"So that's why you let me choose this time period?"

After hearing Fang Zheng's explanation, Kuang San frowned and asked, after "accumulating" enough time power, she originally proposed to go back to six months before the explosion, so that they would have enough time to eliminate the three culprits, and even if they failed, they would have a chance to start over. However, Fang Zheng rejected Kuang San's suggestion, and instead chose the most radical time period - six hours before the explosion thirty years ago.

"Yes, indeed. With our abilities, it would be easy for us to kill three mortal magi. However, there is no evidence that the world line will change because of their death."

As he spoke, Fang Zheng opened his hands.

"Pay attention. For us, the important thing is that thirty years ago, these three psychopaths created a disaster in order to create elves. Then the original elf appeared. After a series of events, she split her own power and transformed it into spirit crystals and gave it to you, Kurumi and Yoshino, turning you into elves... Of course, the same goes for the unreliable Honjo Nia and Gokawa Kotori. So, the point is..."

Fang Zheng said this and gently moved his finger forward.

"Thirty years later, elves like you exist in this world. However, this does not mean that the process in between is also fixed. Indeed, in the history we know, the appearance of elves is related to these three magicians. But this does not mean anything. Even if we kill them a few years in advance, or even destroy all their manuscripts and documents, fate may play a big joke on us. For example, they have apprentices who inherit their research, or an unrelated passerby accidentally picks up the record files that we may have accidentally forgotten..."

Fang Zheng shrugged.

"You know, this world is full of all kinds of accidents. Maybe no matter how much we do, we can only change the process, but it will not change the result of 'the elves will appear in thirty years'."

"…So, everything we did was useless?"

Hearing this, Yoshino asked timidly, while Kurumi shook her head.

"I don't care, Mr. Founder, you know what my purpose is."

"Okay, I'm just giving you a heads up."

Fang Zheng certainly knew that Kuang San didn't care about the continuity of history and time. What she wanted to do was to change the past in which she had killed her friends and other innocent people with her own hands.

For Kurumi, this is the most important thing.

"In fact, we are here precisely because this process can be changed... History has countless futures, but each has its reasons and foundations. And we are here to destroy this foundation."

That's right, according to the information Fang Zheng obtained from the angels of Erya, before the big bang, the three magicians were just ordinary people who could use some weak magic. But after the big bang, they researched the random field and became powerful magicians.

In other words, the emergence of the random field is actually closely related to this explosion.

The essence of this explosion is that these three magicians used their magic to condense the magic power of the whole world and materialize it.

What Founder wants to do is to destroy this "foundation".

As he said, even if these three people were killed, fate would most likely fix the future in another way. But it is not impossible to change this.

That is at the most critical part of the ritual. When the magic power is completely condensed, Fang Zheng will destroy the ritual and then turn the magic power into firewood and burn it completely.

In this way, this world will change from a "low-magic world" to a "magic-free world", and without the foundation of "magic power", no matter how hard fate tries, it will not be able to create such an uncommon existence as "elves" again.

That's why Fang Zheng chose this time period to come here.

"Kyouzo, Yoshino, you must follow my orders and not hesitate for even a moment. Do you understand?"

Although he didn't know if things would go so smoothly, Fang Zheng still gave the order just in case. Kurumi and Shiono looked at each other and nodded.

"Okay, no problem."

"I will try my best...Mr. Fang Zheng..."

Time passes by every second.

When the sun reached its high point in the sky at noon, three figures appeared on the field.

Placed in front of them was a round device - a magic furnace.

A powerful device that can absorb magic from the sky to the earth and even from all things, and condense it.

Next, as long as you chant the spirit ritual, you can concentrate the magic power of the entire world on this point and create a new life.

And with the birth of the elves, a new world shrouding the real world will also take shape.

That is exactly the future that magicians desire.

A world that belongs to them.

"here we go……"

Hiding in the shadows, watching everything in front of him, Kuang San's voice trembled a little, while Fang Zheng narrowed his eyes and stared at the device. He could feel that the huge amount of magic power was gradually condensing and compressing towards the direction of the magic furnace. Along with the chanting, the magic power around the magic furnace turned into a shining light and began to rotate.

But, it’s not enough…

Fang Zheng clenched his fists and hid in the shadows. Beside him, Kuang San's body was trembling slightly. Noticing Kuang San's nervousness, Fang Zheng reached out and pressed her shoulders.

"Don't be nervous, Kurumi, remember. We have the Zero Hour Lost, which means we have countless chances to change everything. If this time doesn't work, there's always the next time, so... you don't need to put too much pressure on yourself, it might even have the opposite effect."

"Huh... Thank you, Mr. Fang Zheng."

Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Kuang San closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and then her originally stiff expression became much softer.

"I will act according to the plan."

"Very good. Remember, one second after I make my move, you will immediately step forward and kill the three magicians. Don't hesitate or talk nonsense. Just kill them. Then take Yoshino and be alert to the surroundings to prevent any accidents. No matter what I ask you to do, you just need to do it. Do you understand?"

"OK."

At this moment, the roar of the magic furnace became louder and louder. Fang Zheng could feel that the incomparable huge magic power was condensing and forming, and was about to reach the critical point. The three magicians seemed to have noticed this as well. They showed expressions of excitement and joy as they watched everything.

Then, the leading magician raised his hands.

"Now!"

When the magician opened his mouth and was about to chant the last spell of the spirit, Fang Zheng suddenly leaped out from the shadows. He raised his right hand, and the pitch-black sword instantly appeared in Fang Zheng's hand. It passed through the earth with a whistling wind and pierced into the center of the magic furnace that was roaring and shining with power!
