Chapter 203: Heaven? I lose again, so what?!

Watching the mysterious statue fly into his hand, and the prompt that appeared on the system screen, Rhine's pupils contracted slightly.

"This statue… …"

"It seems to have a similar feeling to the statue I saw on Marcus Flint before. Is this related to an Outer God?"

"Is it the Outer God from which the Dumbledore family ancestors stole their bloodline?"

"Is this the opportunity the system mentioned for me to obtain the Li Earth Flame Light Flag?"

His brow furrowed, not understanding where this opportunity would come to fruition.

At this moment, Dumbledore and Aberforth were also somewhat surprised to see the statue fly into Rhine's hand.

"What is this?"

Dumbledore was puzzled.

Aberforth was also bewildered, and after a long while, he said with uncertainty.

"I don't know either. Could it be something from the family inheritance box left by Father and Mother?"

"Merlin above, since that incident, I haven't looked at that box again. I once thought I had thrown it out when cleaning up the trash, but I didn't expect it to still be here."

"As for what this thing is, let me look for it. I remember the ancestors seemed to have left murals or something… …"

Then, Aberforth rummaged through the wooden box in the house and finally found a stone slab engraved with a picture.

On the stone slab, a small person could be seen holding a mysterious statue, facing a huge, blurry existence.

Drops of something resembling blood dripped from the blurry existence.

Unfortunately, as time passed, the traces on the picture had become quite blurred, and only these things could be seen.

But this also made Aberforth suddenly realize.

"So, you're saying that the ancestors once fought a dangerous magical creature, and this statue is something like a talisman, or something that can restrain that magical creature?"

"But I've never heard of a similar legend. This deed shouldn't be considered a legendary story."

"After so many years, this statue should only have commemorative significance and is not worth much money."

Dumbledore was still not at ease and cautiously used various spells to probe the statue, but the conclusions all showed that it was just an ordinary statue.

Only then did he relax a little and agree with Aberforth's view.

"Even so, for members of our Dumbledore family, ancestral objects still have commemorative significance."

He then looked at Rhine again.

"Rhine, although bloodline magic may have been affected in some way, and it is still impossible to determine which branch of the Dumbledore family you belong to."

"But it can be confirmed that you do have the bloodline of the Dumbledore family."

"Since the ancestor's statue has chosen you, then you should keep it."

Rhine nodded, but a trace of strangeness flashed in his eyes.

Perhaps it was because the sky was dark now, and Dumbledore didn't think too much, so he didn't see the abnormality on the stone slab.

But Rhine saw it at a glance.

The worn marks on the stone slab were not natural wear and tear, but artificial.

It seemed that some beings did not want some content to remain in the world, so they destroyed it.

But this can hinder ordinary people, but it cannot hinder Rhine.

The Insightful Heavenly Eye can capture even the slightest traces. With a sweep of this stone slab, he immediately restored the destroyed content through those traces.

And this also made Rhine's gaze towards this statue become quite solemn.

According to the statement on the stone slab, this statue is not something of commemorative significance at all, or a talisman or something like that.

On the contrary, it is a key, a key to the realm of an Outer God!

Back then, the ancestors of the Dumbledore family stole the bloodline of that Outer God through this key, bringing the blood that allowed them to cast magic to the descendants of the Dumbledore family.

But the act of stealing magic is destined to be liquidated.

Either all descendants of the entire family will be transformed into the Outer God's dependents, becoming crazy evil beings.

Or they must find a way to put the Outer God into eternal sleep, or even—kill the Outer God!

The Dumbledore ancestors could not do such a thing.

He could only sacrifice himself to try to prolong the sleeping time of this Outer God.

Not only him, but the first batch of wizards who stole the Outer God's bloodline almost all made the same choice.

Leave hope to future generations!

In their view, as time passed, wizards' research on the power of magic became more and more in-depth, and it was not impossible to surpass the Outer Gods on this basis.

Killing the Outer Gods is not an impossible thing.

For this reason, the Dumbledore ancestors left this statue leading to the Outer God's realm, waiting for the next descendant of the Dumbledore family with a bloodline almost as strong as his to completely end this Outer God.

If this can be done, the Dumbledore family will completely get rid of the shadow of the Outer Gods and completely control the power they have seized!

The other families are also the same. The ancestors used themselves as fire, leaving behind sparks, waiting for the time when the sparks would start a prairie fire!

It's just a pity that they never thought that the development of magic would not be a linear climb, but a spiral rise.

For a long time, magic was actually regressing.

Many ancient spells have been lost in modern times.

Most wizards' exploration of magic ends when they graduate. In the remaining time, the greatest use of magic is to help them save some trivial matters of firewood, rice, oil, and salt.

The scene that Dumbledore's ancestors envisioned, where all wizards would exchange what they had and strive for perfection in order to kill the Outer Gods, developing magic to an unimaginable level, has never appeared.

Even after so many years, Rhine is actually the first wizard who can touch this statue!

Thinking of this, in addition to sighing, Rhine also felt a little alert.

Could it be that from the beginning, the wizards were really working hard to kill the Outer Gods after stealing the Outer God's bloodline?

The alliance of the Sacred Twenty-Eight families once left a sacred covenant.

It's just that in the twists and turns of the years, the once clear goal has gradually been buried by history.

The Sacred Twenty-Eight families, who should have been fighting side by side, have gradually been divided.

All kinds of infighting have emerged one after another. There have also been many disasters and wars that swept the magic world in history.

Behind all of this, could there be a secret influence from the will of the Outer Gods?

Just like this stone slab from the Dumbledore family, the truth is gradually being erased.

Just like Albus Dumbledore, who was very likely to reach the level expected by his ancestors, left a permanent mental loophole that he has not been able to repair for a hundred years, and has always been unable to take the step of surpassing the limits of a wizard.

If you are a bit of a conspiracy theorist, then Rhine has a guess—that while the wizards were trying to kill the Outer Gods, the Outer Gods, who were high above, were also stifling the wizards' already meager hope after suffering the loss of their bloodline being stolen.

The war between wizards and Outer Gods may never have ended from the beginning, but has been hidden beneath the dust of history.

Then, Rhine looked at the statue in his hand that could enter the Outer God's realm, and his expression became more and more solemn.

Holding this statue may mean accepting the cause and effect between the Dumbledore family and this Outer God.

The main body of an Outer God is definitely not something Rhine can contend with at the moment.

Even if he uses the Zhou Tian Star Fighting Formation Flag, I am afraid it will be crushed and destroyed!

Before his eyes, on the system screen, chaotic and trembling words appeared, as if to warn him.

[Along with the opportunity of the Li Earth Flame Light Flag, you have also discovered the ancestral information of the human race hidden in history]

[Suirenshi took fire, Youchaoshi built houses… … all have great merit added to their bodies]

[Even if it is difficult to achieve sainthood by this, proving the peak of Quasi-Sage, approaching sainthood is not impossible]

[However, the ancestors of the human race, such as Suirenshi and Youchaoshi, gave up the opportunity to pursue the Dao of Heaven, placing all their hopes on the human race, expecting the rise of humanity]

[The ancestors of Suirenshi and others left a message to future generations—the human race should be self-reliant, and the fate of man should be controlled by himself, not by heaven, nor by the many immortals and gods in the sky. Even a saint has no right to determine the fate of the human race]

[My fate is up to me, not to heaven!]

[At this moment, you seem to hear the unwilling roar of humanity from history. Similar to the Dao of Earth, humanity is also in a state of being suppressed by the Dao of Heaven represented by Hongjun Laozi!]

[Accepting this opportunity, although there is a chance to obtain the Li Earth Flame Light Flag, it will also make you inherit the great cause and effect of humanity replacing the Dao of Heaven. Even a saint can hardly bear such cause and effect. Host, be careful!]

A strange look appeared in Rhine's eyes.

Man will conquer nature?

My fate is up to me, not to heaven?

He seemed to see through history the figures of the ancestors of the Sacred Twenty-Eight families, defying the world and stealing the bloodline of the Outer Gods.

As the first people to steal the bloodline, the magic they obtained must be unimaginably powerful.

If they were willing, transforming into evil beings to obtain eternal life would be within easy reach.

But most people decided to sacrifice themselves and leave hope to future wizards.

Rhine looked at these figures, and his expression became more respectful.

Immediately, his eyes fell on the statue.

If there is indeed an opportunity for the Li Earth Flame Light Flag in the Outer God's realm that this statue leads to, or at least something similar,

Then this Innate Five Element Flag, a treasure sufficient to protect the Dao, is enough for Rhine to take the risk.

What's more—

"Kill the Outer Gods?"

"Anyway, this feud has already been forged, so what if I take on another cause and effect?"

"I accept this opportunity!"

On the system screen, exciting words appeared.

[The heroes of the predecessors, we descendants are grateful for the grace of the predecessors, how can we retreat?]

[If future generations cannot defeat their predecessors, wouldn't they be trash?]

[Heaven, it's not the first time I've been defeated. What's the harm in defeating Him again?!]

After taking a deep breath, Rhine held the statue, put it into his Yuan Sea, and suppressed it with the Qingyun Purple Gold Crown, Abi Hell Scenery Sword, and Zhou Tian Star Fighting Formation Flag.

In this way, even if the Outer God behind it intends to project and descend like Dagon, it will be killed in an instant and will not cause any trouble.

As for entering that Outer God's realm, Rhine is not so reckless yet.

There are still many days before the return of the ancients and the revival of the Outer Gods.

If there is really a possibility of facing a power close to the main body level of the Outer God, his current strength is far from enough, it is almost a situation of certain death, and he has to continue to improve his strength, not in a hurry to enter recklessly.

At the same time, Rhine's eyes also flashed with obscure Xuan light.

The talent of testing the secrets of heaven has already been used.

A moment later, Rhine groaned, the mysterious light in his eyes dissipated, and his face paled instantly.

But immediately afterward, a hint of unexpected delight appeared on his face.

Just now, he had tried to divine if there was a way to increase his chances of entering the ancient kingdom behind the statue, and he had actually managed to figure out some clues.

However, the result of this divination surprised Rhine quite a bit.

“If there is anything in the magical world that can give me three more points of certainty to enter that ancient kingdom ahead of time, two of those points are actually related to Peter Pettigrew?”

After pondering for a moment, Rhine roughly understood where this certainty came from.

Peter Pettigrew's talents were indeed quite remarkable in certain situations.

After all, he was a being that could be judged by the system to grow into Long-ear Dingguang Immortal.

There were very few beings in the Investiture of the Gods who could deceive the saints, and Long-ear Dingguang Immortal was one of them!

Hiding aura and concealing secrets could greatly reduce one's presence.

Deceiving the heavens could even use methods such as feigning death and disguise to deceive the secrets of heaven, rendering most divination methods ineffective on him.

As for betrayal, it was even more powerful, being the only talent Rhine had seen so far that could affect a saint, enough to backstab one!

If he could obtain the talents of deceiving the heavens and betrayal, and manipulate them, he might actually be able to enter the ancient kingdom ahead of time and seek opportunities similar to the Li Fire Flame Light Flag.

Besides that, the remaining one point of certainty was related to Harry.

To be precise, it was related to something Harry inherited.

“The Deathly Hallow—the Invisibility Cloak!”

With this realization in mind, Rhine bid farewell to Dumbledore and Aberforth and returned to Hogwarts Castle.

Although it wasn't yet time to enter the ancient kingdom, it was always good to be prepared.

Having a chance to obtain the Li Fire Flame Light Flag a day earlier, even if it was just a similar, inferior product from the magical world, would be enough to give Rhine an incredibly powerful method.

Before the return of the ancient ones, a step ahead meant being ahead in every step!

Soon, Rhine returned to his dormitory.

He remembered that during the previous Christmas holidays, Dumbledore had returned the Invisibility Cloak to Harry as a gift, just like in the original story.

But as he stepped into the dormitory, he saw Harry looking anxious and agitated.

The entire dormitory had been turned upside down, as if searching for something.

Rhine paused for a moment.

“Harry, what's wrong?”

“Did something get lost in the dormitory?”

Harry nodded repeatedly, his face full of anxiety.

“The Invisibility Cloak I got for Christmas is gone!”

“I clearly put it in my trunk, and I wanted to wear it for a night stroll after the holidays, but when I opened the trunk tonight, I found that the Invisibility Cloak was gone.”

“I've searched the entire dormitory, but I can't find it anywhere.”

Harry's lips trembled slightly.

“I suspect… someone stole it.”

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the dormitory became somewhat unnatural, and suspicious glances seemed to be sweeping around.

Some people's faces turned red, as if eager to prove their innocence.

Rhine raised his eyebrows and interrupted Harry's words.

“Harry, I understand you're anxious.”

“But trust the brothers in the dormitory, if the Invisibility Cloak was really stolen, it wouldn't be by one of us.”

Harry also realized that his previous words had caused misunderstandings, and he quickly stomped his feet and said.

“Of course, I'm not referring to the people in our dormitory, I mean… the bad guys in the castle.”

Harry's words changed the expressions of Neville and Ron as well.

“Harry, are you saying?”

Harry nodded vigorously, picking at his fingernails as he said.

“Why would someone steal the Invisibility Cloak?”

“Ron said that my Invisibility Cloak is definitely extraordinary, which means that it might allow someone to sneak into places that are normally difficult to enter.”

“For example, it could allow us to stroll around the castle unnoticed, but in the hands of some bad guys, they could use it to achieve their ulterior motives.”

“For example…”

Harry didn't say it, but Ron and Neville, who had participated in the obstacle course game, completely understood what he meant.

The bad guy who was plotting to steal the Philosopher's Stone might have stolen the Invisibility Cloak in order to bypass Fluffy, the three-headed dog, and the subsequent obstacles.

Given the rarity of Harry's Invisibility Cloak, it might actually work!

Now, they also became nervous.

“This is terrible, if the bad guy puts on the Invisibility Cloak, we won't even know where he is.”

“That's a permanent Invisibility Cloak, how are we going to find it?”

At this moment, Rhine raised his eyebrows slightly, calculated with his fingers, and suddenly revealed a look of surprise.

Good heavens, Harry's intuition is really accurate?

According to the talent detected by the secrets of heaven, the Invisibility Cloak was actually stolen by Voldemort and Quirrell.

Their purpose was precisely to use this Invisibility Cloak, which was much stronger than the Disillusionment Charm, to bypass the three-headed dog and a series of obstacles to obtain the Philosopher's Stone.

“You guessed right, the Invisibility Cloak was indeed stolen by someone with ill intentions.”

As soon as Rhine said this, Harry and the others immediately wanted to rush out.

“Rhine, we need to go and guard the Philosopher's Stone.”

Rhine waved his hand, revealing a strange smile.

“Don't worry, that person only just stole the Invisibility Cloak, and hasn't had time to act yet, you don't need to be so anxious.”

“Moreover, it's just an Invisibility Cloak, it's too easy to break.”

“You don't think that the obstacles I set up can be easily bypassed with tricks, do you?”

Immediately, Rhine stepped out of the dormitory and went to the obstacle course game.

At this time, Fluffy, due to taking too many elixirs and being infused with a lot of spiritual energy by Rhine, showed increasingly obvious signs of reversion to his ancestors.

Originally, he only had three heads, but now he had grown five heads, and the aura he exuded was becoming more and more powerful.

When he heard the movement at the door, Fluffy was quite excited, looking majestic.

But when he saw that it was Rhine, Fluffy instantly lay down, wagging his tail non-stop.

There was no way, even though he had now become a five-headed dog, Rhine's terror was still deeply imprinted in his heart.

Moreover, as soon as Rhine entered, Fluffy smelled a strong sense of oppression, as if he was facing something incomprehensible.

This little monster wizard has become stronger again!

What a freak, every time they met, his strength seemed to undergo a transformation.

Now, if Dumbledore were to face this little monster, he would probably be beaten to a pulp!

Looking at Fluffy's flattering expression, Rhine flicked his finger, and a stream of spiritual energy entered his body, causing him to let out a comfortable cry.

“Fluffy, these days, some unwelcome guests will come uninvited, you have to guard the door and entertain them well.”

“If you do well, I'll give you another elixir later.”

Fluffy immediately bared his teeth.

Except for being scared to the bone by Rhine, he wasn't afraid of any other wizards.

If he couldn't beat Rhine, could he still not beat you?

He could beat people and eat elixirs, how great is that!

Then, Rhine raised his hand, and piles of ore left over from refining the Zhou Tian Star Fighting Array flags last time appeared, and Rhine cast spells to refine them with Phoenix Perch Wutong Fire.

A moment later, an instrument resembling a compass was refined by Rhine and embedded in one of Fluffy's heads.

Fluffy's face was full of curiosity, as if he had received a new toy, constantly trying to fiddle with it.

Rhine revealed a strange smile.

On this compass, he used the Heavenly Demon Refining Treasure Technique to cast several restrictions to detect invisibility.

Although the level was not high, it could be considered a low-grade magic weapon.

During the Lich War in the prehistoric era, this magic weapon specialized in breaking invisibility spells.

Although it couldn't deal with those high-grade spells or even concealment supernatural powers that could conceal cause and effect and the secrets of heaven, low-level abilities to conceal one's figure were simply useless in front of it.

Dealing with the Invisibility Cloak in the magical world, even the Invisibility Cloak among the Deathly Hallows, was enough!

Rhine said to Fluffy.

“As long as you see the compass turning, point wherever it points and you pounce there, that's all, understand?”

Fluffy grinned, and all five heads nodded in unison.

That's it?

He was smart!

Pounce wherever it shakes, simple!

At this time, Rhine suddenly seemed to have thought of something, and the corners of his mouth curled up.

“Wait, don't rush to pounce.”

“Act first, can you act?”

At the same time, in Quirrell's office.

Quirrell's voice revealed excitement.

“Master!”

“This is simply the favor of fate!”

“Harry Potter actually received such a powerful Invisibility Cloak? I've seen so many alchemy items in my life, and I've seen no less than dozens of Invisibility Cloaks, but I've never seen one that can compare to this one!”

On the table in front of him, there was an Invisibility Cloak flickering with silver light.

Quirrell looked at it, revealing an extremely ardent and obsessed expression.

Even Voldemort, who had seen a lot, did not deny Quirrell's praise for this Invisibility Cloak.

“The Potter family actually has such good things?”

“This Invisibility Cloak can indeed be considered a rare treasure in the magical world.”

Voldemort suddenly felt a little regret in his heart.

If he had obtained this Invisibility Cloak back then, he might have been able to make it into one of his Horcruxes.

Such a treasure had such qualifications!

But now, it could also serve him.

An Invisibility Cloak of this caliber was enough to deceive most beings in the magical world.

If he superimposed the Disillusionment Charm on top of it, then it would be even more foolproof.

No matter how ferocious that three-headed dog was, he could bypass it!

Sure enough, fate still favored him, Voldemort, sending him this Invisibility Cloak when he was most at a loss.

He asked the magical world, who else could stop him from getting the Philosopher's Stone?

Voldemort sighed with emotion.

“After lurking for so long, a comeback is today!”

“Quirrell, tonight, I will take back everything I have lost!”
