"Super powers can be explained by science, magic is not good, just like those Asgardians cannot use human past knowledge to explain, everything here cannot be explained by human existing knowledge system." Laura Crawford looked up at the emperor's face while stroking the fluffy little animal in his arms, trying to grab a look that could prove his guess. However, she failed, and the emperor's face was still as calm as ever. "The mainstream statement now is that Asgard has the technology to use dark energy, but everything I have experienced tells me that the correct answer is not that simple. I am very grateful for your support for my adventure, but this does not mean that I hope you deceive me. Until now you have not told me what Kit City and Jacob are going on."

"Kite and Jacob are my future and past," said the emperor. "For me, the increase in entropy is not irreversible. Your work keeps uncovering the secrets of the past, clearing the fog of history, and providing guidance for me. This is the real reason why I fund you, because you are the explorer of historical truth, and what I need most is the truth."

As intelligent as Laura Crawford guessed the answer at once. To be precise, after experiencing so many strange events, she will no longer fix the events on the common sense of ordinary humans, and the whole world is crazy. Aliens, magic, and what else is impossible. "Are you denying your free will?" she said, "Will you travel through time to guide Jacob out of Constantinople?"

"You can think so, that is my future, their past." The emperor nodded, "The timeline is still moving forward, and the future of superposition is still extending until we observe. Free will still exist, and we still need to make choices in the future."

"But no matter how you choose, Jacob will lead his followers to Siberia." Laura Crawford pointed out the fallacy in the emperor's words, "Since the result is destined, how can free will be spoken of?"

"The truth of history does not show all the details, Laura, and we are humans, not machines." The emperor said with a smile. "Even if fate is destined, we can still choose to practice fate. What we create is human nature protected by reason, rather than falling into the abyss of nihilism or cosmic indifference. We must pay attention to the material universe, because this is our world."

"Only the big truth?"

"I can give an example that you can understand. Wanda told you about her past, right?" The emperor looked at Laura Crawford and said that she had indeed heard Wanda talk about her past, including war, prison, study and freedom. "She would go on the road of Anfa anyway, because her talent is very strong, but there are many different ways to go on the established path. She could become a learned witch like she is now. Although her relationship with her blood relatives is not good, she can still have a warm family. She can also become a wild mage who knows nothing and acts entirely on instinct. She is so lonely that she falls in love with a robot and is driven crazy by her talent."

The emperor stretched out his hands, and the holographic projection of two villains appeared on his palm. Laura Crawford found that these people were Wanda, and their mental states were completely different from their costumes. "This is how we practice fate. The reason why the heroes in ancient Greek mythology are great is because of the human brilliance that showed when fighting fate. This is the positive side of the ancient Greek tragedy." The emperor was a natural orator, and he was good at using his own principles to convince others. This time was no exception. "We have never been slaves of fate, we can still control our own destiny. We united Latvionia, teachers, workers, farmers, merchants, soldiers, and even children, with their will, got rid of the six hundred years of tyranny of the Vladimir family and regained their own destiny. Such a career will continue, and such a future will happen to everyone."

"I find you like to quote ancient Greece stories."

"There is a reason, but I can't tell you yet, but I believe you will have a good conversation with her." The emperor nodded, his tone calm. He withdrew his hands and the projection of Wanda Maximov's fate disappeared. "I hope you can complete archaeological works on the pre-colonial era of Eastern Rome and Peru in the 10th century AD. Although those papers are destined to be published now, I am still willing to collect them for you and put them in the library. They will be passed on forever and be known to the world at the right time. Richard Crawford and Laura Crawford will be famous as archaeologists who uncover the truth of history."

"I'm very grateful, but... who is she?" Laura Crawford obviously began to be curious about the woman the emperor said, "Who is there anyone worth mentioning you?"

"Didn't you always want to temporarily withdraw from the adventure and find the secrets about me?" He threw out a bait that Laura Crawford was willing to bite the hook. "That's my adoptive mother and tutor, and I will introduce you to her. You still have the opportunity to learn more about the truth of history, Laura, you will understand who she is when you see her."

The emperor had long thought of introducing Laura Crawford to Athena. This time he was just a journey. He believed that Athena would happily tell a smart and powerful person his book "Mythical Journey" to a smart enough person. Then he could also talk to Athena about the witch and ask the arrogant adoptive mother to give mortal respect. Compared to his conversation with Laura Crawford, his communication with Wanda Maximov was much simpler. Many of the information he learned after entering the Silver Stone Gate were related to her, but the emperor carefully selected some information that could tell her, the key was the truth of the Blood Moon Goddess and the Yasok people.

Wanda waited in the guest room for a long time.

When she learned that the emperor had put her on the list of time jumps, Wanda was ecstatic. She had already participated in the time jump journey and had a significant position. As the fog of the past was pushed away little by little, the emperor also found that the day of time jump was gradually approaching. He had prepared for this time jump for many years, but he did not expect that the upcoming time jump was so closely related to the cause of the Supreme Master's death. He even participated deeply and promoted the latter. This was the reason why he was too nervous and angry during this period. He knew that he had to do this to fulfill the wish of the Venerable, and he was willing to bear this sin, but this did not mean that he would swallow his breath and not settle the score with the commander behind the scenes.

The demon awakened from the timeline of the thirty-first century produced a series of chain reactions, which triggered this time jump journey and affected the supreme mage of the twenty-first century. The emperor's mission was to completely eliminate the demon. The prophecy had revealed the time point when the emperor and the demon first met. It was at the time of the death of the supreme mage. The second time was the first landing point after the time jump, located in the long-standing wilderness period when human civilization was initially budding, and the third time was in the thirty-first century, when the demon had just woken up. The emperor understood that his destiny would have three encounters with the old dominant demon, and he also understood that he would eventually kill it. The other party also understood this fact, so he came from the sealed thirty-first century to the twenty-first century, trying to find a way to kill the emperor.

"So Venerable... Does He know this too?" Faced with Wanda Maximov's doubts, the emperor nodded. Although he was very unwilling, he had to admit that he could not interfere with this fate, not only because the Supreme Master refused him to interfere, but also because he knew that only by not interfering could he completely kill Shuma-Gorath, the former dominant, and rescue human beings from the terrible fate that might be encountered in the future.

"Can we just watch this?"
