"Mother, please stop teasing her, we’re all family."
Upon hearing the words "family," the two ancient beings temporarily halted their bickering.
"Hehe, for the sake of my darling asking, I’ll let little Ice Cube off this time."
Nari’s tone turned gentle again:
"But honestly, Aselia, your recent performance is truly impressive."
"Hmph... You have some sense after all."
Aselia snorted proudly, but there was a clear note of satisfaction in her voice:
"However, since we’re all here, I think there are some important matters we need to discuss."
"Indeed, onto serious business."
Nari’s tone instantly became serious:
"Darling, I’ve recently observed some unusual phenomena."
Ron immediately focused: "What kind of phenomena?"
"The Abyss is too quiet."
Nari’s voice carried deep concern:
"Quiet to an abnormal degree. You know, the Abyss is always a symbol of chaos and conflict.
Apostles and Awakened of different tiers, different forces, are always engaged in various overt and covert struggles."
She paused for a moment, then continued:
"But this past month, almost all conflicts have ceased.
Even those usually most inclined to cause trouble, ’Mad Bite’ and ’Gulping Mouth,’ have become exceptionally quiet."
This information unsettled Ron:
"Could it be that some powerful entity is forcibly maintaining order?"
"If that’s the case, it would actually be a good thing."
Nari shook her tentacles:
"The real worry is that this silence isn’t forced, but spontaneous.
It’s as if... all apostles are preparing for some major event."
Aselia’s dragon eyes showed a solemn expression:
"If that’s the case, then it indeed is a foreboding sign.
So many apostles, for them to simultaneously cease internal strife, it can only be an event concerning the future of the entire Abyss."
"Such as?" Ron pressed further.
"Such as signs of the ’Mother’s’ awakening becoming more obvious."
Nari’s voice grew deeper:
"Or perhaps, some Wizard King Level entity has impacted the Abyss."
Each of these possibilities is enough to topple the balance of the entire Main World.
"However, darling, you needn’t worry excessively."
Nari’s tone returned to being gentle:
"No matter what happens, Mother will protect you.
Moreover, now that stable communication is reestablished, it means Mother can project power at crucial moments."
Her voice became more resolute:
"So, your actions can be bolder lately.
Whether facing that ’Iron Skull’ Vinard or other challenges, Mother will have your back."
This promise warmed Ron’s heart.
"Thank you, Mother. Having your support definitely allows me to act with greater peace of mind."
He thought to himself:
"Since Nari’s power can be projected here, I can conduct some deeper explorations..."
After becoming a Historian, apart from conducting a historical dive while cleaning under the Titans’ feet, he hasn’t deeply utilized this ability again.
According to Professor Yutel’s guidance, the same historical event can be repeatedly explored to continuously enhance its resolution.
Each deep dive can uncover previously overlooked details and clues.
Moreover, as the proficiency of skills increases, the complexity of history he can withstand will also constantly improve.
"Mother, since your power can protect me, I wish to attempt a deep historical dive."
Ron expressed his thoughts:
"Last time, I obtained a lot of valuable information from Sarlin’s historical projection, but I feel there’s deeper truth yet to be uncovered."
"Sarlin? That little bug I dissected?"
Nari recalled the experience of "dissecting an apostle" in the historical projection:
"Her memory is indeed interesting, especially the parts concerning the Abyss’s internal structure.
If you wish to delve deeper, Mother will certainly support you wholeheartedly."
"But remember, the dangers of historical dives increase exponentially with depth."
Aselia reminded:
"Especially historical events involving High Tier entities, which often encompass information density sufficient to tear ordinary wizard consciousness apart."
"I’ll be careful."
Ron nodded:
"Moreover, last time’s success has already granted me Sarlin’s historical projection.
This time, no mediator is needed; I can directly enter the second historical event dive."
He took a deep breath, then linked to his stored Sarlin projection:
"Then, let’s begin."
When the [Historical Research] skill was fully activated, Ron’s consciousness once again was drawn to the depths of the river of time.
But this experience was entirely different from before.
If the first historical dive was like observing through a blurred glass window.
Then this time, it’s like directly walking into the historical scene.
Every detail became extraordinarily clear, every emotion could be genuinely felt.
However, as the exploration intensified, a peculiar phenomenon began to emerge:
The same historical fragment surprisingly displayed entirely different multiple versions.
Like a painting repeatedly altered, each layer of paint conceals the content beneath.
Through the erosion of time, all layers began to simultaneously reveal themselves.
"This is...?"
Ron felt perplexed; this phenomenon entirely exceeded his comprehension of historical records.
According to conventional wisdom, events that have occurred should be unique and definitive; why would so many versions emerge?
