"So many years have passed, but Sisley City still looks the same."
Somme walked on the wide concrete road with a smile on his face, quietly observing the scenery around him.
It happened to be nightfall. He stood under the street lights, looking very thin and weak. He was wearing a loose black robe, and his shadow was very long on the ground.
After so many years, in terms of age, he was already more than sixty years old.
Time passed, but he seemed to have frozen at the moment when he had just come of age. He did not look like an old man in his sixties, but a young man instead.
Of course, that was the truth.
Given the long lifespans of rank 3 Magi, he was still very young, and had a long life ahead of him to enjoy.
"But this time, I'm the only one here. Why did you come with me, Teacher?"
Somme looked at the scene in the distance and turned to look at the person beside him.
Beside him, a young man dressed in a white robe stood beside him.
The young man's appearance was delicate and handsome. His figure was tall and straight, and his handsome face was flawless. His eyes, which were like silver gems, stared quietly into the distance. His eyes were filled with nostalgia and nostalgia.
"I came to see the city that I descended in."
Looking at Somme beside him and the city that had changed greatly, Adil smiled, "Come to think of it, the last time I came back was 30 years ago. If I don't come back this time, I'm afraid I'll have less and less time to come back in the future.
"Also, while Lara and the other two are here, I wanted to come and see them and have a small gathering."
"Teacher, if you want to see Big Brother and the others, you can just ask them to come back. There's no need to come here personally."
Somme said with a smile.
"That's different."
Adil shook his head. Then, he brought Somme with him and chatted as they walked forward.
On the road, as time passed, boys and girls in uniforms walked past, smiles on their faces.
On the familiar road, there would occasionally be some vehicles passing by.
While this scene was unfamiliar to Adil, it was also very familiar.
Once upon a time, his hometown was also like this.
Over the past few decades, with the survivors of the modern world around, some technologies were quickly restored. In a short period of time, the land was lit up with the light of civilization.
Smooth roads were built one after another. The original carriages had been eliminated decades ago and replaced with the latest smokeless cars.
Today, in terms of technology alone, this world had already surpassed the previous modern world.
The discovery and utilization of elemental particles, as well as the research on Magi, Knights, and even the power of bloodlines, continued to make breakthroughs. Many new technologies were invented, and they were quickly used in various aspects.
During this process, Adil also gave him a push.
Not only did it provide a large amount of Magus knowledge and information, but it also provided a large amount of ready-made technology.
The world that Adil's second time traveled to was a world with advanced technology. In that world, Adil's A.I. Chip had stored a lot of technical information.
Now, with a large world as the foundation and base, these technologies were slowly being brought out to display their greatest effects.
On the road, some boys and girls constantly passed by. Some had gloomy expressions, while others had obvious joy on their faces.
"Looking at the time, it's time for the annual examination again."
Looking at the boys and girls walking on the road, Adil smiled, "I wonder how many geniuses will appear in this batch of students."
"There will always be quite a few."
Looking at the crowd dispersing in the distance, Somme nodded lightly, "Based on last year's experience, there will be at least a few thousand grade-5 acolytes every year, even in the lowest year.
"The number of people taking the examination this year is much higher than in previous years. The number might break the previous record and reach tens of thousands."
"That's not bad." Hearing this number, Adil nodded lightly.
By now, the system of Magi and Knights had basically become common.
In the various academies in the various provinces, there were basically Knights and Magi teaching courses for those with aptitude.
After more than 50 years of settlement, there were many Knights and Sorcerers roaming the lands, serving the empire in all walks of life.
In some large cities, a person who wore a uniform and went to work on time might be a Magus or Knight.
Of course, even if Magi and Knights became common, there were still very few true Magi, and every one of them was very precious.
As long as an official Magus obtained the relevant proof, even if they did not do anything and just went to some enterprises, they would be able to earn a large sum of money every year.
Even a level 1 acolyte could easily live a good life as long as they were willing to work.
Compared to ordinary people, the advantages of Magi were simply too great. This was especially so in the present day where rune technology was greatly developed. There were many jobs that could only be done by Magi, and ordinary people did not even have the ability to carry them out.
If one wanted to become a Magus or a Knight, they could only go through the examination at the end of their higher studies. Once they were found to have the aptitude, they could head to the various academies to further their studies.
Of course, if one was born into a large family and had enough wealth, they could also cultivate and become a Magus.
However, most people who wanted to become a Magus or a Knight could only go to an academy to further their studies.
This was often an important time that would decide the fate of some people's lives.
For Adil and Somu, they did not need to pay much attention to students with third-grade aptitude and below. What they really needed to pay attention to were those with third-grade aptitude and above.
Even if technology had advanced to this stage, if an ordinary student did not have a family that could support them with resources, the chances of them advancing to an official Magus were not high.
According to the latest statistics, those with third-grade aptitude and below had a 25% chance of advancing after receiving formal education from an academy.
The chances were not bad, but among this group of people, let alone advancing to a rank 2 Magus, even elemental conversion was very rare. Most of them were stuck at the rank 1 Magus realm.
Acolytes with third-grade aptitude and above had a higher chance of advancing to a rank 2 Magus. As for third-grade Magi, most of them had fifth-grade aptitude.
Of course, this was only the current situation and did not represent much.
After all, it had only been 40 to 50 years since Adil had ended the chaos of war and unified the various empires.
For mortals, 40 to 50 years was the time of two or three generations. However, for extraordinary beings like Magi, this amount of time was not much.
Even a level 3 Acolyte, as long as they were willing, could easily live for 100 to 200 years with some spells that slowed down aging.
40 to 50 years was not enough for a Magus's potential to be fully unleashed. The first batch of Acolytes who had entered the academy were mostly still in their prime and had great potential to advance further.
Walking on the road and looking at the bustling city in the distance, Adil unknowingly thought about many things until familiar figures appeared before him.
"Teacher."
On the other side of the road, Lara and the other two were standing there with smiles on their faces.
"You're here."
Adil raised his head with a smile on his face.
"Teacher, it's been a few years, but you're still the same."
Looking at Adil in front of her, Lara smiled, feeling a sense of relief that she had never felt before.
After being together for so many years, they had gotten used to each other's temperaments and viewed each other as family. Now that they had met again, there was no estrangement at all, and they instead felt a sense of closeness.
Slim and Qi Mu were the same. Even though their expressions were different, the closeness was the same.
Faint silver light started to rise from Adil's body, and three rays of silver light flashed by before landing in front of Lara and the other two.
The light was resplendent and gave off the most beautiful and flawless light. It was as if it contained a world, grand and dignified, and it gave off the aura of origin energy that belonged to Adil.
"Teacher, this is?"
Looking at the three rays of light, Lara and the other two stared for a moment before asking simultaneously.
"My three bloodline origins."
Standing there and looking at Lara and the other two, Adil's expression was very calm, "After a few decades, you three have also reached this step. It's time to use these …"
After a few decades, Lara and the other two had reached the end of the Radiant Knight's path, and they were only a step away from becoming Origin Awakener.
What had stopped them was none other than their bloodlines.
To become a Origin Awakener Knight, one needed to possess an ancient bloodline. However, Lara and the other two were undoubtedly ordinary people, and it was naturally impossible for them to possess an ancient bloodline.
The three bloodline origin energies before Zhang Xuan had been prepared for this very reason.
These three bloodline origins had been slowly extracted from Adil's body. Not only had he used up a large amount of the world's energy to nurture them, he had also used up a portion of his own power.
With this as a foundation, these three origins undoubtedly had the potential to become Rank 4 bloodlines. As long as Lara and the other two worked hard enough, they would be able to use this as a foundation to transform into the Moon Elf bloodline.
"Teacher …"
Looking at these three origins, Lara and the other two fell silent. Qi Mu could not help but interject, "There's no need to do this. For the three of us to become Origin Awakener, we can just use the bloodline of those Ancient Kings. Why do we need to let teacher use up your origin …"
"The source of the bloodline of the ancient kings is still alive. It's too dangerous to use their bloodline," said Qin Wentian.
Standing in front of them, Adil shook his head, "Using their bloodline means that you will be bound by them. If one day, those Ancient Kings stand in front of you, you might not even have the right to fight them.
"Rather than that, why don't you just use my bloodline? At most, you'll just have to spend a bit more time cultivating."
Standing there, he spoke with a calm expression.
Splitting the Bloodline Origin into three was, of course, not as easy as he had made it out to be. However, for the current Adil, it wasn't too serious.
With the nourishment of the world's energy, he would be able to make up for the origin he had lost in a few decades.
"Moreover, the reason why I'm doing this is also because I need your power."
Looking at the three students in front of him, he sighed, "In a few decades, I'll be leaving this world."
"Leave?" Hearing this word, the people present were stunned.
"A few decades have passed, and this world's recovery period has reached its end. In at most a few decades, it will be over."
