Infinite Simulation: From Konoha To Moon

Chapter 114: Primordial Goddess

After the magic exchange conference, Li Xiang's reputation improved within a small circle.

Although it didn't have much significance for the time being, who knows when it might unexpectedly come in handy.

The dozens of magicians who attended the conference were enough to form a large network of relationships.

As the creator of seal magic, Li Xiang naturally owed them a favor.

When it didn't involve crucial interests, it was quite simple to lend a helping hand.

After the exchange conference ended, Li Xiang submitted his research proposal to his homeroom teacher, Kashiw.

According to the normal procedure, it would be submitted to the Mineral Science Department and then to the Clock Tower.

Li Xiang suddenly thought of a question.

The twelve subjects are each overseen by twelve monarchs.

Except for exceptions like Weber, the monarchs delegate matters to their families or the professors of the academy.

But who is in charge of the Clock Tower?

Li Xiang asked Astati.

His senior sister smiled and asked in return, "Guess."

Mischievous.

Li Xiang was slightly taken aback and asked, "Could it be the Department of Law and Politics?"

"Congratulations, you answered correctly."

Astati said softly, "The Dean of the Clock Tower has long ceased to manage affairs. Aside from her, who else is qualified to manage the Clock Tower?"

Li Xiang indeed had some blind spots.

He hadn't thought much about Rorelei's identity.

In this case, isn't his application a sure thing?

After about three days, Li Xiang received the news that his application had been approved.

Once the project was officially established, he should use the funds to purchase various related materials and equipment, as well as hire expert professors and assistants.

But this was just the usual practice.

Li Xiang didn't need any of that.

He could handle everything on his own.

As long as he provided a certain amount of magic to the three major families on time.

Of course, he wouldn't reveal everything. Once he reached a certain quantity, he could let go.

Because these geniuses would automatically research new magic.

Perhaps Li Xiang could even learn from them in return.

For now, he put this matter aside.

With the money in hand, he naturally went to buy various materials.

Due to the majority being gemstones, most of the funds went into Astati's wallet.

To be precise, the Edelfelt family.

As a prestigious Finnish family, they were a major gemstone magic clan, known as the "Scales that Measure Minerals."

Managing gemstones was only natural.

Li Xiang was happy and relaxed.

Just by paying money, he could receive deliveries at home, which was much better than running around at auctions.

Besides, his senior sister could be considered family, so he treated it as paying rent.

Another busy day ended for Li Xiang in the alchemy workshop.

Although his alchemy skills were good, the Gemstone Sword, as one of the top magical artifacts, naturally had a high level of difficulty.

It could easily rival the Divine Dress.

He opened the door and saw purple long hair.

"Oh, it's Senior Sister Sakura."

Li Xiang took a step back, creating some distance, and asked, "Is there something you need from me?"

"I've noticed that you've been waking up late recently."

Tohsaka Sakura asked calmly.

"Because making the Gemstone Sword consumes a lot of energy and magic power, I occasionally can't get up."

Li Xiang felt a bit puzzled.

He clearly remembers that Tohsaka Sakura doesn't care much about him.

In her eyes, there is only Astati, a clear case of sister complex.

"As a magician, you should maintain the habit of going to bed and getting up early."

Tohsaka Sakura lowered her head and said softly, "The most important thing is not to delay my sister's class time."

So that's how it is.

Li Xiang's face showed a sudden realization.

When he wakes up late, breakfast is always prepared by Astati.

Indeed, it does waste some time.

"I will pay attention."

Li Xiang nodded and said.

"Thank you."

Tohsaka Sakura suddenly showed her usual gentle smile and turned away.

What is there to thank for?

Li Xiang pondered.

Does Sakura think that she has taken her sister away?

Why does it feel like being stabbed at any moment?

What kind of personality does Sakura, who grew up in the Edelfelt family, have?

Li Xiang has always had the impression that she is gentle.

Because she is indeed like that in front of Astati.

After a small incident, Li Xiang felt that it was time to return to a normal sleep schedule.

During the summer and winter vacations in his previous life, he often reversed day and night.

After a while, he felt that he had no energy.

Half a month later, Li Xiang finally completed one-third of the gem sword.

Calculating the time, it should be finished before February.

"Junior brother."

Astati leaned against the sofa and waved at him.

"What's the matter?"

Li Xiang sat opposite her and asked, "Is it about the Holy Relic?"

Astati crossed her legs, tightly wrapped in black stockings, outlining a powerful curve.

Because of the slippers she wore at home, her right foot was completely exposed, and it was unconsciously shaking at this moment.

"No."

Astati shook her head and asked, "I found that you have been getting up early every day recently. Don't you want to rest a little longer? Or do you prefer Sakura's breakfast to the one prepared by your senior sister?"

"Of course not."

Li Xiang quickly said, "Unhealthy habits should be corrected as soon as possible. Now that the gem sword is on track, there is no need to stay up late anymore."

"Well, well said."

Astati smiled and said, "No matter when, discipline must be maintained, with meticulous planning, efficient living, and serving the overall purpose."

Li Xiang froze.

He had heard the second half of that sentence before.

In a dream.

Astati said it too.

Since having the dream of being imprisoned, Li Xiang was surprised to find that this dream was actually a series, constantly extending downwards.

During this period, he probably dreamt it seven or eight times.

There was nothing too surprising in the content.

It was all about daily interactions with Astati.

But the location was on a spaceship in the universe.

"What's wrong? Junior brother."

Astati reached out and waved in front of his eyes, "You're spacing out while talking. Did you not get enough rest?"

"I'm fine."

Li Xiang caught a faint scent.

But then he slightly startled.

Because Astati raised her finger and tapped her forehead.

"Well, you're in good health."

She smiled and touched Li Xiang's hair. "Seems like you're a bit slow."

"I..."

Li Xiang really wanted to remind her not to casually touch a guy's head.

"Go to sleep."

Astati looked into his eyes and said, "Goodnight, maybe you'll dream of your senior sister."

The fragrance disappeared in front of Li Xiang.

After sitting still for a moment, he returned to his own room.

"What does that last sentence mean?"

Li Xiang pondered as he entered his dream.

The room was warm, just like before.

But the decorations had changed to black and gold.

Expressionless Astati appeared, and she said, "Tomorrow is the tenth day, cherish your last moments."

Blood sacrifice?

Li Xiang thought for a moment and asked, "Who am I?"

"...?"

Astati showed a different expression for the first time.

She reached out and pressed Li Xiang's forehead.

"Could it be that you've developed amnesia from staying too long? But your body is healthy."

Li Xiang smelled the same fragrance.

Just like his senior sister in reality.

For a moment, he couldn't quite distinguish whether it was daydreaming or dreaming at night. Or was there something wrong?

"Hey, don't scare me. Losing effectiveness as a prop can be very distressing."

"..."

This cold and ruthless person definitely wasn't his senior sister.

Li Xiang shook his head and said, "I'm fine."

"If you're not satisfied with your current treatment, you can tell me."

Astati tilted her head and said, "Well, try challenging me one-on-one? If you win, you can leave."

A one-on-one challenge? That's doable.

Li Xiang had long realized that he was just an ordinary person in his dreams.

He definitely couldn't win in a fight, so he might as well be a useless person.

"As the leader of the Space God Yin Flow, I have won more than ninety-nine times in a row, so think carefully before challenging me."

Astati raised her chin and said, "Failure will result in imprisonment and confiscation of property."

Space God Yin Flow?

Li Xiang widened his eyes and blurted out, "You're Ishtar?"

Astati's face immediately darkened and she said, "On my spaceship, I don't allow anyone to mention that name!"

"Sorry."

Li Xiang snapped back to reality and said.

"...Forget it, I forgive you."

Astati's emotions lasted for about a second before returning to her usual expressionless state.

"If you really want to call me that, please don't do it in front of me."

Li Xiang suddenly laughed.

So he was in the FGO Star Wars event storyline?

Blame himself for skipping the storyline and not realizing it in time.

Light poured in from outside the window.

Li Xiang opened his eyes.

In his past life, he had always called Astati Universe Rin or En Rin.

At the very least, he called her Ishtar, as translated in the Chinese server.

Very few people would notice that her name is Ishtar Astati.

Plus, he never thought that Astati would become her senior sister.

There is a psychological phenomenon where things are often overlooked.

In theory, this is an impossible thing.

From the setting, Astati is the original goddess of another universe.

It is unknown how long it would take for her true body to arrive here.

But if she really is Astati, then various things that have happened so far have a reasonable explanation.

Li Xiang was eventually awakened by a knocking sound.

He regained his senses, quickly put on his clothes, opened the door, and saw Astati outside.

"Come out for a meal."

Astati was still the same as usual.

After Li Xiang finished washing up, he sat opposite her.

Luvia and Tohsaka Sakura recently discovered a ruin, so they haven't been home these days.

Astati felt puzzled.

Li Xiang seemed a bit strange today.

He occasionally looked at her with a gaze that had an unclear meaning.

It made her feel a little flustered.

"Well... junior brother, if you have something to say, just say it directly."

Astati couldn't help but speak.

She was not used to this atmosphere, which made her feel uneasy.

"I dreamt of senior sister last night."

Li Xiang said with a measured tone.

"Oh, what was it about?"

Astati raised an eyebrow and asked.

"You told me that you are the leader of the Space God Yin Flow, and you have another name, Ishtar."

Li Xiang's face remained calm.

"..."

Astati froze.

A sense of panic surged up in her.

She looked dazed, unable to figure out how she should react.

"I remember that as a Master, you dream about the past of your Servant."

Li Xiang raised his hand, revealing a Command Seal, and smiled, "Senior sister, should you explain it to me?"

After a long time, Astati came back to her senses.

She smiled confidently and asked in return, "Why should I explain? Clearly, it's you who doesn't remember my name."

"It's not... I..."

Li Xiang suddenly felt a bit overwhelmed by the current situation.

Astati raised the corner of her mouth, hooked her finger, and said, "Come here, I'll give you a reasonable explanation."

Li Xiang put down his chopsticks and walked up to her.

Astati stood up, just at his neck level.

She noticed this problem, took off her shoes, and stood on the chair.

Instantly surpassing Li Xiang's height.

"..."

Li Xiang found it difficult to understand the scene in front of him.

Just as he was about to speak, he felt his lips being bitten.

A soft touch and a sweet taste burst in his mouth.

It also burst in his heart.

As if a language had been unlocked, he clearly heard his own heartbeat.

His mind went blank.

Three thousand words. The next is the plot of the Holy Grail War.
