January 6, 205 in the new calendar.
Earth.
The major holiday of the opening day had just passed, and the entire Xia Federation was still filled with the joyful atmosphere of the New Year. For ordinary people, this was a rare long holiday, and it was also a busy time for visiting relatives and friends to wish them a happy new year.
However, for some scientific researchers who stayed at their posts, it was a shocking day.
In the border area of Southern Wuzhou, west of the Raya Mountains, there are ancient ruins codenamed "Red Rabbit".
This ancient relic was discovered and reported two years ago by a team led by the famous archaeologist Li Kefan. With the intervention of the Xia federal government, scientific researchers have been exploring and excavating the relic for nearly two years.
At the beginning of the excavation of the ancient ruins, experts in the industry speculated that the most likely possibility was the ruins of the ancient country of India in the Old Western Era. However, with in-depth exploration and excavation, and the unearthing of various cultural relics and texts, they discovered that this might not be a product of the original Earth, but more likely a relic that fell from another world.
This resulted in the Xia Federation immediately raising the exploration level of the "Red Rabbit" ruins to A-level. The origin of its code name was that many of the building ruins in the ruins had rune patterns of red rabbit heads left on them.
As usual, Li Kefan stayed in the laboratory provided by the Xia Federation, analyzing the cultural relics.
Although he holds a high position in the fields of archaeology and mysticism, he still maintains his passion and interest in his work. Even during the long holiday on the first day of the mission, he did not go home for the New Year, but instead immersed himself in research in the laboratory.
In front of him was a slightly broken short staff made of extremely hard black wood. It looked very old, and after being processed by a professional Force user, it still emitted extremely special radiation fluctuations.
For Li Kefan, who was at the peak of the Void Realm, this amount of radiation was still within his tolerance. As he analyzed it further, the short staff began to emit an extremely faint light, like a lit candle.
In the faint halo around the short staff, small, complex and strange characters appeared.
Li Kefan adjusted the special glasses on his nose and tried to distinguish the tiny words, "Holy... Fairy... Empire... Avalon..."
He was not unfamiliar with these words. They were the fairy language of the legendary higher-dimensional world of Avalon. Many of the ruins excavated in the Xia Federation in recent years were formed from the remains of the powerful people in the world of Avalon.
Ordinary people may not know the secrets, but "professionals" like him naturally know that the Earth world was briefly connected with the Avalon world, and even a very terrifying war broke out there.
Li Kefan recorded the runes within the halo while analyzing them. After a long moment, he slowly nodded. "My initial guess is that this should be a high-level staff left behind by the Holy Fairy Empire. Although it's completely damaged, the remaining trace of radiation suggests that its wielder was a very powerful high-level mage."
The high-level wizard is equivalent to a Netherworld Force user, and is considered a top-tier powerhouse in the entire Xia Federation.
Thinking of this, Li Kefan's face, which had just relaxed, became serious again.
According to the monitoring of the Xia Federation, there are a large number of pollution sources inside the "Red Rabbit" ruins. Even the Force users will be contaminated and mutated. Cleaning and purification work needs to be carried out step by step. Therefore, the excavation project progresses very slowly. It has taken nearly two years so far, and only the outer areas of the ruins have been excavated.
But even in the outer areas, a staff suspected to be left by the great fairy wizard was unearthed. So what kind of remains of a great figure would be left in the core inner location?
"No... This discovery should be reported immediately to the Relic Research Association for a second re-evaluation of the relic's level. The Red Rabbit Ruins are not as simple as initially discovered."
But just as Li Kefan was about to leave the laboratory to negotiate with the researchers sent by the Xia Federation, the ground beneath his feet suddenly shook.
Then a scarlet ball of light emanated from the interior of the ruins, directly illuminating an area of more than ten kilometers in radius, ignoring all obstacles. Even Li Kefan and many scientific researchers who were in the room were directly stunned by the red light and went into a state of brief shock.
However, this strange red light came and went quickly, and disappeared completely after just a few seconds. If all the people covered by the red light were not still in a stiff state, they would even think that what they saw before was just an illusion.
About five minutes later, the alarm at the base near the ruins sounded loudly, and the scene that just happened was reported to the top leaders of the federal government.
In a county town about a hundred kilometers away from the Red Rabbit Ruins, a palm-sized fairy slowly emerged in the sky. She had a perfect and delicate face, pointed ears, and mysterious runes all over her body.
Xu Xianxian took a deep breath of the air, a feeling both familiar and unfamiliar washing over her. She took in the flow of information generated by the interaction of light, dust, trees, animals, and humans. A second later, tears welled up in her eyes. "This is the year 205 in the new calendar. Almost two years have passed since I entered the Portal to the Past. Could this period of time be the turning point that determines my 'future'?"
She flapped the small wings behind her. After experiencing the baptism of the River of Time, she had a deep understanding of the rules of space. She broke through to the level of demigod without any bottleneck and touched the realm close to time.
"The Throne of Reality has locked this space-time node. This means... the Throne cannot descend directly into this space, not even the Crimson Book."
"There's no point in time when the throne invades."
"This is a war that belongs to me alone, but I can only sense a vague idea of how to reverse this future node. If I continue to deduce the root cause, my perspective will be contaminated and I will fall into a state of madness and loss of control."
Xu Xianxian's beautiful face showed a bit of seriousness. The throne did not invade directly, but it did not mean that the throne had no other ways to deal with her.
According to past history, this body was sealed in the Xia Federation by the Demigod Alliance when they were snatching the Star Soul, forming an ancient relic. If the Federation had not conducted in-depth excavations in the relic and destroyed many key sealing nodes, Xu Xianxian might still be locked in the relic.
"The established past is that I was sealed?"
"But now the past, present, and future have been completely separated and isolated, and there is no connection between them, so there will be no conflict in the time domain."
"The past at this point in time doesn't necessarily represent the past of my past self. By simultaneously reversing the time nodes of the past, present, and future, I can completely shatter the cycle of fate, ascend to the throne, and escape the final conclusion of the Crimson Book."
Xu Xianxian flapped her wings and began to fly towards Hongjing City.
