Love letters are not allowed in the exorcism notebook!-Chapter 976 - 43: Where Should I Start Asking

"So, because of this Ancient Dragon Court Plan, all the Dragon Maidens ascended, leaving blanks in history, and then the timeline self-corrected, attributing her achievements to the Old Master Wang, is that right?"

Wang Yunxiao had to admit that if he didn’t have some education, he really couldn’t understand such complex things.

Of course, that’s quite normal. After all, it’s a blueprint designed for Hell’s Apocalypse, not some elementary school science book.

Every time controlled nuclear fusion and quantum computers achieved significant breakthroughs in later research, even though the news was in Chinese, no one could understand it, only able to express their feelings with, "Whoa, that’s awesome!"

The Doomsday Plan is like that too, as long as ordinary people understand the general idea, there’s no need to struggle with it if you’re not at the level of those involved in building it.

However, he’s still full of questions now. In comparison, the fact that Li Mumu claimed to be a transmigrator wasn’t that particularly important.

"So, the Dragon Maiden closest to our current timeline is Mu Yanling and... who else?"

"Lin Canglan, she founded the Four Seas Commerce Guild overseas."

"One is a Great General of the domestic Imperial Court, and the other is an Overseas Chinese leader, did they both ascend at the same time? What does ascension specifically mean?"

"Strictly speaking, from birth to ascension, the Dragon Maiden goes through three stages."

Li Mumu held up three fingers: "The first stage is called the Transformation Period, as the name suggests, it is to cultivate the true dragon bloodline within oneself. A Dragon Maiden in this stage doesn’t count as a true Dragon Maiden, they are more like reserves, requiring a long Awakening Period, which in modern terms is akin to forming one’s worldview."

"The second stage is called the Maturity Period. A Dragon Maiden who enters the Maturity Stage is a true Dragon Maiden. In this stage, a Dragon Maiden is almost akin to a deity walking in the mortal world, possessing boundless power to reshape heaven and earth."

"The third stage is called the Ascension Period. You could understand it as their power reaching the limit that the Real World can contain. At the moment the Giant Dragon Throne begins its journey, all mature Dragon Maidens will ascend to a higher dimension, merging their souls and consciousness into the throne, becoming the raw materials for forging the Dragon Court... I don’t know exactly how it works, since I’ve never experienced it."

"So are you considered a Dragon Maiden in the Transformation Period?"

"Not really, I can’t even count myself as a reserve. If you say that a Dragon Maiden in the Transformation Period is like a high school grad entering a university math department, I would at most be like a middle school student scoring full marks in math, compared to true mathematicians, it’s like the difference between Earth and the Sun."

"What is a Dragon Maiden in the Transformation Period like?"

"Well, our current President, Ms. Xu Ziwei, and Young Master Huang of the Four Seas Commerce Guild!"

Li Mumu spread her hands and said: "To be honest, I’m not very familiar with these two mature Dragon Maidens and two transformation ones because in my memories before transmigrating, the Great General and President at this point in time weren’t called these names."

"Hold on a second, I’m getting dizzy."

Wang Yunxiao frowned and said: "This is too complex, can you explain it more simply?"

It’s not that my IQ is a problem, honestly, touching your conscience, this involves complex issues of timelines and history lines, who can clarify that in a few sentences?

"You don’t need to understand so clearly. My mom often says that everything is illusory. When the Temporal Tide stirs, all people and things might change. A minor butterfly flapping its wings centuries ago could bring about earth-shattering changes centuries later."

Li Mumu, of course, understood Wang Yunxiao’s confusion; she was also very baffled at first.

After knowing more, she gradually lay back and let it go.

"Don’t think about what remains unchanged, even history itself can change at any moment. The Dragon Maiden in fact no longer exists, and discussing it further is meaningless. What you should really resolve are the issues left behind after the Dragon Maiden’s departure."

"After Mu Yanling’s ascension, a lot of political legacy was inherited by Xu Ziwei, including her old subordinates. Some people have completely forgotten her, some might still remember. Perhaps, in their view, Xu Ziwei didn’t inherit, but used disgraceful methods to scheme and usurp Mu Yanling’s legacy."

"Wasn’t all that decades ago?"

Wang Yunxiao stopped mid-sentence, suddenly realizing the waters here might be deeper than he imagined.

You didn’t speak earlier or later, and now that it’s the Third Year of the Ming Country, why do certain people suddenly remember to speak for the old master?

Is it truly reminiscing about the old master, or are there other intentions?

For example, now that the world is peaceful and all Zhongyi Hall’s seats have been divided, some didn’t get a seat, and in the foreseeable future, there won’t be any battles to earn military merit...

Of course, this could just be my own conspiracy theory, perhaps there are other reasons as well.

As he watched Wang Yunxiao frown and ponder, gradually showing signs of being absorbed into the mindset of the "Jians", Li Mumu raised her hand and tapped him: "I told you I’m a transmigrator, and you didn’t seem surprised at all, don’t you have anything you want to ask me?"

Don’t joke, woman, I’m contemplating state affairs!

Wang Yunxiao thought, our world lines aren’t the same, what am I supposed to ask?

Men are always magnanimous in this regard; as long as their wife is female and breathing, that’s enough. If she’s also pretty, then other characteristics become unimportant.

This is thoroughly recorded in "Liaozhai."

"What should I ask?"

Wang Yunxiao humbly sought guidance.

"Aren’t you curious about the future era?"

"Hmm... now that you mention it, I actually do have a question."

Wang Yunxiao quickly asked: "What was your status before you traversed? If, as you say, you transmigrated only last year before returning to the country, wouldn’t Boss Mu and Aunt Li have noticed something unusual?"

My parents passed away, which is the standard protagonist start, but you’re different, Eldest Miss Li. You have a happy family life, and Boss Mu and Aunt Li aren’t the dull kind of fools. How did you manage with them?

Li Mumu thought for a moment, somewhat uncertainly, and said: "My memories before transmigrating are incomplete. Some involving the Doomsday Plan were deleted. I don’t know for sure even now. To put it simply, I think I was a participant in a sub-program of the Joint Ark Plan."

"As for whether my parents noticed anything unusual, my mom figured it out early on. My way of transcending is quite special, strictly speaking, it wasn’t soul transfer or possession. It should be said that the soul of the Li Mumu of this era and my original soul crossed the Time-Space River and merged together. If you view it from Li Mumu’s perspective, thinking she had a dream of being a future person, there’s no problem."
