In the base outside the country.

With Helena's Isle's knowledge support, the construction of the portals of Gu Shiyin and Michael's Migor was very smooth. Gu Shiyin estimated that in a few days, the portal that connects two centuries will be completed.

However, Chen Qiang and Qin Yixian could not be happy no matter what...

"What happened?"

【Qin Lingxue Psychological Test 10/49 Success】

Chen Qiang and his brother were hiding something, and Qin Lingxue thought in confusion.

However, she tried not to show deep worries in front of Chen Qiang.

[Qin Lingxue's acting check failed 95/91]

“…”

Chen Qiang shook his head helplessly. At first, neither he nor Qin Yixian wanted Xiaoxue to bear too much pressure, but Xiaoxue did have the right to know the news left by her father.

In particular, after contacting the future, Qin Yixian determined that the image hidden in the candle can only be played once by magic.

"Come with me." Chen Qiang sighed.

...

In a quiet room.

As a magic consultant, Helena carefully checked the candle that was suspected to be left by Qin Yuantu.

"No problem," Helena said, "I have never seen the exact same spell, but just the step of 'lighting the candle' should not have any irresistible traps."

"I understand." Chen Qiang nodded.

"Dad." Qin Lingxue murmured to herself.

After several years of separation, my father's voice, appearance and smile will still appear in her sleep.

Father, is he... still alive?

Since he is still safe, why should he use this secret method to convey information?

"Then, I won't bother you."

Helena stayed outside the room for a while and was on guard just in case.

Chen Qiang glanced at Qin Yixian and Qin Lingxue's brother and sister.

The two nodded at Chen Qiang. Chen Qiang took a deep breath and lit the candle that had been burning halfway.

...

Chen Qiang and the other two found themselves in a void.

There was darkness under the feet, and there were stars above the head.

A middle-aged man in a windbreaker stood in the distance. He looked majestic and had bright eyes, but his temples were covered with white hair.

"Dad!" Qin Lingxue couldn't help but exclaim.

"Mr. Qin Yuantu." "Uncle Yuantu." Although he knew that there was only an image on the other side, Chen Qiang and Qin Yixian bowed slightly.

Qin Yuantu's influence showed a gentle expression. He had a gentle appearance, but his eyes contained a knife-like aura.

"Yixian, I know you're watching," he said, "I don't know who else is..."

He paused.

Qin Yuantu didn’t know whether Qin Yixian and his group were lost in this era like him, or had the means to return to the future? In Qin Yuantu’s view, the latter is more likely.

"...Tell Xiaoxue, I'm fine," Qin Yuantu said slowly, "I have been looking for opportunities to establish communication with you who are in the future."

He showed a complicated expression.

"Yixian, as long as possible...lead this era as soon as possible. The history of this parallel world has deviated. A crisis is coming, which has never happened in the history we know."

"Dad, what happened?" Qin Lingxue knew that Qin Yuantu in front of her was just a video record, but she couldn't help but speak.

Qin Yuantu paused for a few seconds and continued his story.

"You may have seen this term in the records of an organization or family...'When stars return to their positions'."

“…”

Qin Yuantu's eyes flashed with light: "When the stars come to a specific moment, the city of Lalaye hidden in the deep sea will rise again, and the Lord of Lalaye, who once ruled this planet, will be resurrected and occupy the sea and earth again."

"Cthulhu." Chen Qiang whispered that name.

"The legend is true," Qin Yuantu said, "I don't know if Xiaoxue told you, but Xiaoxue and I had witnessed the clone of the Lord of Lalaye on the sea. From then on, I knew... what we face is far more terrifying than what is recorded in the book, and beyond the limits that our thinking can understand."

Xiaoxue's body was trembling slightly.

Qin Yixian remained silent.

"I know I have to fight," Qin Yuantu said, "What I see is nothing but an incarnation or projection of the lack of power of the Lord Lalaye. If it were its deity that appeared in the world, we would not have the luck to escape. For hundreds of millions of years, the Lord Lalaye... was called the 'Great Cthulhu' and was another..."

Qin Yuantu showed a thoughtful expression: "...Cthulhu was sealed in the depths of the seabed by the gods called 'Kthanid, the supreme excellence'. Until the stars move to the right position, they cannot break free from the cage under the seabed."

Ktanid... Chen Qiang thought, it was the name of an old god, and it was said to be the "brother" of Cthulhu. It had a similar shape to Cthulhu, but it was full of jewels and bright golden eyes. It was not much better to witness Ktanid than to witness Cthulhu.

The old gods would resist the will of the external gods and be enemies with many old dominators. Their emblems could also resist mythical creatures, so some people believed that they were just, "on the side of mankind."

It is said that Lalaye sank due to the "crust movement", but if no other gods were involved, how could the ordinary changes in the natural environment do to the great Cthulhu?

"In the original history," Qin Yuantu said, "In 1925, the stars' positions reached a suitable place, and Cthulhu also took the opportunity to escape from its seal. But an accident happened. A ship that deviated from the route broke into that sea, disrupting the rituals of his followers, and causing Cthulhu to eventually fail to resurrect in its complete form..."

There is silence.

Chen Qiang stared at the man in front of him. Is this the reason why Xiaoxue returns to the future alone, but you stay in this era alone, Uncle Yuantu? He thought silently.

Qin Yuantu paused: "...you can still find the record of the "Call of Cthulhu" in the documents of the Qin family and the "Green Delta". The revived Cthulhu power was not complete, and it was eventually defeated by a sailor named Gustav Johnson in a steamer. The consciousness of the Lord of Lalaye also returned to the bottom of the sea to sleep."

"Johnson drove his ship and pushed the weak incarnation away." Chen Qiang said softly.

Just like he did when he manipulated Haneda in the "Christmas Carnival in the Ocean".

"After being stopped by Captain Johnson, the next time the stars return to their positions will have to wait for a long time," Qin Yuantu said. "This should be the case with history. But... this era has entered a fork."

Qin Yuantu's voice was deeper: "The Cthulhu followers of this era mastered methods similar to 'time and space observation'. They obtained future records and knew that Johnson and his group interfered with the ritual of Cthulhu's resurrection. Therefore, they created an accident and killed Gustav Johnson and his companions in advance to ensure that the events in the historical record would not happen."

Qin Yixian widened her eyes and Qin Lingxue also showed an incredible expression.

Even Chen Qiang was a little moved. Before Johnson drove a steamboat to hit Cthulhu, he and his companions did "disturb" the Cthulhu resuscitation ceremony.

Indeed, there are many powerful wizards among the followers of Cthulhu. If Johnson witnessed Cthulhu in 1925 accidentally interfered with the recovery of Cthulhu, it is indeed possible that the followers of Cthulhu who received the news in advance took action to avoid this "unfortunate accident"...
