"I will help you."
In Nicolas Flamel's six hundred years of life, he had met countless people.
He understood the look in Roger's eyes.
Even if he didn't help Roger with those things, Roger wouldn't give up on this terrifying plan of infinite reincarnation.
He was determined to walk this path, it was only a matter of a few years sooner or later.
Rather than watching Roger step into danger step by step, it was better to lend a hand himself, perhaps then...
Having experienced Dumbledore's power, Nicolas Flamel understood Roger's significance to the wizard civilization.
To be honest, one of the important reasons he chose to accept Dumbledore's olive branch and forgo embracing death was that he wanted to witness a future he himself could not foresee!
"You... you must survive," Nicolas Flamel's tone was somewhat heavy.
He had participated in the campaign against Grindelwald, and he himself was also a seer quite skilled in divination.
Therefore, Nicolas Flamel did not blindly believe in the title of "Seer" like others who had only a superficial understanding of fate.
Having been an enemy of seers in the past, he was perfectly aware of the boundaries of their abilities.
Seers were not omniscient; they simply possessed an extra sense compared to ordinary people.
"I'm someone who desires Eternal Life. There probably aren't many people in this world who crave 'to live' more than I do." Roger's solemn expression faded, and a gentle smile returned to his face.
However, Roger was also a person who liked to plan ahead and had considered the possibility of failure.
Currently, Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall's Three-Dimensional Law was on track, and Hermione had achieved some success.
Harry had not yet begun to study the Three-Dimensional Law, but his Time Magic had already entered the path.
Voldemort's progress in Time Magic was no weaker than Harry's.
And Grindelwald, who was by Voldemort's side, had definitely seen many future possibilities.
But he had taken no action, only acting as a monitor beside Voldemort.
There was an unspoken understanding between the two seers. Roger could sense that Grindelwald's actions were a deliberate 'yielding of the stage.'
He didn't want to 'fight amongst themselves,' so he simply showed his abstention through his actions.
If he were to suddenly die at this moment, in what direction would things develop? Voldemort was extremely difficult to kill, and a stronger him would undoubtedly bring far greater damage to this world than its original fate line.
Grindelwald, who had voluntarily yielded the stage, would attempt to return to center stage. If he didn't intend to deal with Voldemort, then...
Setting aside those far away, the people around him would likely not remain idle either.
Hermione was an idealist; she would definitely try to do something with the Three-Dimensional Law.
And neither Dumbledore nor Professor McGonagall were the type to discipline their students for mere 'possibilities' when they had done nothing wrong.
The spread of the Three-Dimensional Law would unfold in a multi-pronged manner, and who knew how chaotic the world might become then.
Without his restraint, Virtual Reality technology might face misuse, and the Board Members' plan to 'mass-produce Dumbledores' might actually be implemented.
Perhaps at that time, only when the old wizard before him, who had lived for over six hundred years, converted to the Three-Dimensional Law could he slightly make this world less chaotic.
And at this moment, since Roger was aware of such a future, he naturally could not let it all fall into the abyss.
Roger's contingency plan for this was:
[Dimensional Magic: Seer's Last Words]
Everything Voldemort had done in his pursuit of a more perfect self was completed under Roger's watchful eye.
In fact, because Roger could see the future with his crisis intuition, he could be said to understand the Self Time Gu Technique even better than Voldemort himself.
Roger and Voldemort's paths were different; he pursued the Path of True Self.
But if the Path of True Self failed, and Roger's mind perished under the inundation of endless time, then Roger would use a method even more unhinged than Voldemort's!
Voldemort pursued his most perfect self by using his Horcruxes as a foundation. No matter how he broke through, it was within the framework of 'self.'
His fundamental nature was 'Voldemort.' It was impossible that after the self-cannibalism of the Time Gu Technique, the final 'product' would have a genetic mutation into Sun Wukong, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven.
Voldemort's Time Gu Technique could only create a 'better self.'
But Roger's Dimensional Magic: Seer's Last Words completely abandoned this structure.
Since his true self had perished with the extinction of his consciousness, why bother whether the entity replacing him resembled himself?
Roger's magic would use all the time he had experienced as its foundation to perform the Time Gu Technique.
If Roger used this magic during the process of infinite reincarnation.
It would mean.
After Roger left this world, the 'New Roger' who occupied his identity and position would be a true monster, created from the essence of hundreds of millions of human lifetimes!
Moreover, since he had decided to completely cast aside all reservations, Roger could set a more audacious logic for it.
[Eternal Self-Update]
It would forever advance, grow stronger, without any hesitation.
Until the moment it completely traced the history of the entire universe, dragging all the residual spiritual echoes of the past spacetime of all living beings in the universe into its mind to become Gu worms…
Uh, if you calculate it that way, it seems closer to the concept of 'everything changes, only change remains unchanged' than I am.
If I can truly walk the path of an indestructible true self, perhaps I can also try to achieve eternal self-update while maintaining my true self.
"This is the first generation of my Second Brain, and these are the second, third, fourth, and fifth generations." With a thought, Roger calmly handed over the samples he had prepared long ago to Nicolas Flamel.
"Besides these, there are some failed prototypes, and the one I'm currently using. I don't have it with me. I'll find some time in the next couple of days to replicate it and send it to you."
Since he wanted others to help him iterate his technology, Roger naturally showed Nicolas Flamel how his Second Brain, an alchemical product, had developed from nothing to its current state, step by step.
Roger chose to be honest as always, with no reservations.
As he always said, his 'premonition of danger' would tell Roger what he couldn't do because it would be dangerous, and what he could do without any issues.
Taking the older versions of the Second Brain that Roger handed over, Nicolas Flamel was direct: "The Second Brain is relatively easy to handle, but Virtual Reality technology is something I haven't delved into much. I might not be able to offer you much help."
Since Nicolas Flamel had decided to help Roger, he certainly wouldn't hide anything in this regard.
Although the Second Brain technology involved a lot of biological content, its underlying framework was still Alchemy.
As for the underlying framework of the current version of Virtual Reality technology, it was Three-Dimensional Law and Second Magic.
The proportion of Alchemy in it, while not non-existent, was truly not high.
Unless Roger was willing to let Nicolas Flamel learn Three-Dimensional Law, it would be difficult for him to provide any practical assistance.
"It's alright. As long as you can offer some thoughts and evaluations on my technology, it will be a great help to me." Roger's smile remained.
He wasn't lying. In practice, with the help of his premonition of danger, Roger wasn't limited by scope. What was hindering him now was that his knowledge base couldn't keep up.
In a strict sense, his theoretical knowledge surpassed that of most professors. However, to achieve the effects Roger desired, let alone professors, even Dumbledore's level would be difficult. It would require a legendary level like Nicolas Flamel's for Roger to make a breakthrough.
As for teaching Nicolas Flamel Three-Dimensional Law… the moment Roger had this thought, an 'alarm' would sound.
From the future Roger had witnessed, it wasn't that Nicolas Flamel harbored any malice towards Roger.
Rather, Nicolas Flamel's foundation was too profound. If he were to switch to Three-Dimensional Law, his strength would surpass other wizards by more than just one level.
The very existence of such an overpoweringly powerful being would cause terrifying effects.
For example, if someone suddenly proved that God existed, and the Ten Courts of Hell and the Underworld were also real.
In that instant, human civilization would be thrown into an unprecedented upheaval!
As mentioned before, magic wasn't simply the shaping of energy; it was a change in concepts.
Roger was very strong now, but he couldn't be considered absolutely invincible.
Therefore, stepping onto the world stage too early might not be a good thing for Roger.
After a brief exchange with Nicolas Flamel, and agreeing to meet again at the Room of Requirement the day after tomorrow, Roger bid farewell to Nicolas Flamel.
It was already late at night. Nicolas Flamel had classes tomorrow, and Roger also had school.
After regaining his youth, Nicolas Flamel's energy was more vigorous than before, but he also became drowsier more easily.
As he left, he couldn't help but yawn with his back to Roger.
The physiological patterns of the elderly and children still applied to him.
"Roger."
It was Hogwarts' curfew time, but Filch, the caretaker, wouldn't trouble Roger about this.
He knew who he could and couldn't afford to offend.
The person who called out to Roger was Dumbledore.
"Finished talking with Nicolas Flamel?" Roger had mentioned wanting to talk with his old friend about some matters, so Dumbledore had turned around and left them with some private space.
However, he hadn't left and had been waiting for Roger here.
"Yes, everything went smoothly. Headmaster, is there something you need?" Roger was a bit confused.
Dumbledore's concept of time wasn't the type that was measured in every second.
Normally, for matters that weren't urgent, he wouldn't keep Roger this late.
And Dumbledore's next words confirmed Roger's perception of him.
After getting his question answered, Dumbledore said, "The Pure-blood families are not a monolithic bloc."
"Some members of the Board of Governors support you, while another group has reservations about you."
"When I sent people to the Ministry of Magic to pick up Harry, I noticed some movement from Voldemort's side."
"Since Nicolas Flamel has agreed to refine the technology with you, your Virtual Reality is likely to start spreading soon."
Roger had briefly discussed Nicolas Flamel with Dumbledore before, so Dumbledore had a general understanding of what he and Nicolas Flamel were planning to do.
"Are you saying someone will interfere when I make my move?" Roger showed a look of interest.
He didn't dislike such things.
New technologies often represented new interest groups, and Roger would be more than happy to have someone rush forward to be the 'sacrificial flag.'
