Chapter 427: Chapter 428: We Knew Each Other in the Past

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire hall fell silent.

Little Isabella, who was tugging at her father’s garment and ready to make a complaint, suddenly raised her head.

Her delicate, chiseled face was filled with disbelief.

She slightly parted her lips, her eyes wide open.

She looked at her serious father, then glanced at Aster Grant, this human with a peculiar aura before her, her little head brimming with huge question marks.

What was her father saying?

Not... someone from this era?

What did that mean?

Did it mean from a very far, faraway place?

Or... from the future?

With her limited understanding, the young Isabelle couldn’t fully comprehend the meaning of the statement.

But her father’s unprecedented serious tone instinctively made her realize that the bad guy flicking her forehead was perhaps very, very extraordinary.

Aster Grant heard the Dragon Emperor clearly reveal his origins, though his heart was steeled, he wasn’t very surprised.

After all, standing before him was the peak-status master of the Dragon Clan who had truly stepped into the Divine Level Domain!

His vision and perception were far superior to those in later generations who subsisted on the Law Remains of existence.

Seeing through his information was also understandable.

Confronted with the Dragon Emperor’s gaze that seemed capable of penetrating his soul.

Aster Grant knew that hiding was pointless and could instead cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

He took a deep breath, met the Dragon Emperor’s gaze, and began to recount all the future events, slowly.

Including the loosening of the Demon Abyss seal, the descent of the Demon God, the bloody battle on Dragon Island, the sacrifice of the Dragon Emperor...

As well as his own use of the Chronospirit Clan’s power to reverse time.

He narrated everything as clearly and concisely as possible.

As Aster Grant spoke, the Dragon Emperor’s once-dignified and calm face began to show fluctuations.

Shock, seriousness, disbelief...

Various emotions alternated in his eyes.

Although he had a foreboding of Aster Grant’s extraordinary background, he never expected...

That the other’s origins would be so complex!

Especially after hearing that he was destined to die in the future, his regal frame slightly tremored almost imperceptibly.

"Demon Clan... Demon God... Time Reversal... seeking the Time Spirit Divine Pattern..."

The Dragon Emperor murmured these keywords, his brows tightly knit.

He had no clear idea about the Divine Pattern that Aster Grant sought, which was said to be capable of repairing the Voranthos.

But the Demon Clan...

The Dragon Emperor’s gaze suddenly sharpened!

He pondered for a moment and spoke in a deep voice:

"With your reminder, I do recall an unusual place."

"Located north of the continent, where spatial fluctuations have become increasingly unstable over the years, occasionally emitting sinister and vile auras, its nature..."

"Is rather similar to the demonic qi you described!"

"That place should be where... the Demon Abyss invasion happens!"

Upon hearing the Dragon Emperor’s words, Aster Grant realized.

He arrived at a point in time where the Demon Clan hadn’t started their invasion.

So, if the Demon Clan hadn’t invaded yet, was there a way to prevent it?

Thinking about this, Aster Grant’s heart surged with heat.

If he could stop the Demon Clan from invading, could history be rewritten?

At that time, would the Dragon Emperor not die?

Wouldn’t so many people of the Human Race perish because of the Demon Clan?

Thinking of this, Aster Grant immediately decided to head to the place of the Demon Clan’s invasion to investigate.

What if he could truly prevent the Demon Clan’s invasion!

And the Dragon Emperor also realized Aster Grant’s intention, he said nothing, but nodded in agreement.

He did not plan to go with Aster Grant to investigate.

After all, he now needed to share this information with other Pseudo-God Level beings in Alternate Space.

To collectively discuss how to face the upcoming disaster.

But just as Aster Grant was about to take his leave and set off immediately with Sally.

The Dragon Emperor made an unexpected decision.

He gently pushed the curious, peering little Isabella forward, and said to Aster Grant:

"Take her along on this journey."

"What?"

Aster Grant was startled, then immediately refused.

"Your Majesty, this matter is extraordinarily significant!"

"The place I’m going is extremely dangerous, and Princess Isabelle is young, she shouldn’t be put in harm’s way?"

But the Dragon Emperor slowly shook his head, his tone calm:

"No worries! Isabelle harbors within her a contingency I’ve left behind, which will automatically protect her in times of danger, capable of shielding against Pseudo-God Level attacks."

"Regarding safety, you need not worry."

Then he glanced at little Isabella and uttered another statement that deeply shocked Aster Grant:

"Moreover... I can sense an unusually resilient line of fate between you and Isabelle."

"This connection transcends time, linking the two of you together!"

"Thus, letting her accompany you might not be a bad thing."

Upon hearing the Dragon Emperor’s words, Aster Grant fell silent.

He couldn’t help but think of his first meeting with Isabelle in later generations, that inexplicable familiarity...

Was everything predestined at this moment?

He gazed intently at the little Dragon Maiden, who was excitedly looking forward to the adventure.

Finally, he sighed softly and nodded:

"...Alright, I shall do my best to protect the princess."

Subsequently, the Dragon Emperor slightly nodded, watching Aster Grant take his daughter and leave.

Only when Aster Grant’s figure vanished did the Dragon Emperor slowly turn around.

However, at this moment, a trace of worry appeared in his eyes.

Since a person from the future had come to this place, it proved...

Everything had already transpired.

Although he could cross time through the power of the Chronospirit Clan, however... 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Everything was destined!

The Demon Clan would certainly descend!

The Alternate Space would inevitably be invaded!

He, too, would surely die!

Thinking of this, the Dragon Emperor’s gaze gradually became resolute.

Since that was the case, then he would devise a contingency.

If he was destined to die, then he would leave behind a safeguard to ensure his daughter’s survival!

...

Meanwhile, in the real world.

At the brink of despair over Dragon Island’s destruction and the Dragon Emperor’s dispersion, the dazed Isabelle trembled violently!

"Buzz—!"

Countless shattered images, blurry sounds, forgotten emotions, gushed into her mind like a flooded river!

She saw!

She saw her young self encountering a black-haired youth with no dragon horns or tail, possessing a peculiar aura!

She saw herself angrily confronting him, only to have him nonchalantly flick her forehead!

She saw the grand Dragon Throne Hall, saw the solemn dialogue between her father and the youth!

She saw...

Herself leaving Dragon Island together with the youth!

Those forgotten memories became vividly clear at this moment!

"Aster... Grant..."

Isabelle subconsciously murmured!

"So... it was him?!"

At this moment, Isabelle finally understood why upon their first meeting, she felt a strange familiarity with Aster Grant.

Originally, they had known each other in the past.
