"Oh."
Fang Mo, of course, noticed Ancient One as well and greeted him with a smile: "Old thing, you're not dead yet."
"I wasn't dead to begin with."
Ancient One stepped out of the portal slowly, his face full of resignation: "But seeing you, I reckon it won't be long before I am."
"It's right for you to die. I came back this time specifically for your funeral."
Hearing this, Fang Mo also laughed, saying directly: "To be honest, I've even prepared your coffin, using crystals from myriad dimensions for the casket and cosmic neutronium for the coffin, bound by divine Uru chains to restrain the nine Kunlun slaves, carrying your coffin across the cosmic rivers"
"Even if you're willing to pay extra, I could have Ghroth play the suona for you all the way. Oh, I forgot to ask, do you want a flip-cover or a sliding-cover coffin? Need 5G WIFI?"
"Can I not have a coffin?"
After hearing this, Ancient One couldn't help but say: "Although this is also part of your endless bad taste, this is a bit too much."
"Ah? Don't want a coffin?"
Fang Mo seemed a bit regretful upon hearing this but quickly laughed again: "Alright then, since it's your own death, you have the final say. We can go directly to the cremation process... How do you want to arrange the ashes?"
"The most popular option here is the indestructible ash box bound with a curse, so your relatives can never abandon you."
Fang Mo got more excited as he spoke, completely ignoring Ancient One's headache, as if he were a real salesman: "Apart from traditional ash boxes, we can also press your ashes into diamonds, dice, plates, or make them into pencils. It's quite popular now to use ash pencils for secondary creations of the deceased, allowing the deceased to be reborn into the two-dimensional world. Also, we can make them into fireworks, using high-purity uranium-235 to ensure you experience the most authentic 'Japanese' beauty."
"So you're not even going to spare my ashes?"
After listening, Ancient One felt a splitting headache. If it were someone else, she might not even bother, but Fang Mo was different. Not only did he have the capability, but he would actually do it.
"You don't know how long I've been waiting for this day."
Fang Mo was very happy: "Given your age, dying on that side (in the East) would be considered a happy funeral. I have a nickname, 'MournerJoyus', and I'm best at handling happy funerals. I plan to organize a banquet for seven days, then set up a stage in front of your spirit hall, and invite 20 meme celebrities to cheer you up, currently including figures like the Fhrer, Genghis Khan, etc..."
"Just be human."
Ancient One really didn't know what to say anymore, only able to plead with her hand on her forehead.
"I am absolutely not human!"
Fang Mo declared with great vigor.
"Let's put this aside for now; at least I won't die today." Ancient One didn't want to discuss it further, so she simply changed the subject: "Did you cause this dimensional rift?"
Saying this, Ancient One pointed at the portal in front of Fang Mo.
This thing was actually not much different from the Nether portal in MC, being five meters tall and four meters wide.
However, unlike the Nether portal, this one was made of something called Abyssal Stone, constructed into a rectangular frame one meter square, with a ghastly green energy flowing inside. Just looking at it felt ominous, almost as if one's soul could be sucked in at any moment.
"Oh, I forgot to introduce it to you, this is actually one of the dimensions I've newly adopted."
Fang Mo explained to Ancient One: "This is the first level of the Quadruple Abyss, known as the Abyssal Wasteland, but now it's part of me. If you're interested, we could study magical contracts or something. I could lend you some of this dimension's power."
"So you've laid your hands on another dimensional demon god?"
Ancient One looked at the portal in front of him: "You just said this is one of the new dimensions, are there other dimensions as well?"
"That's for sure." Fang Mo nodded directly in acknowledgment: "Just the Abyss Realm alone has four, not to mention the Pure White and Dark Superspace... But this new dimension is something I've just acquired, I haven't studied it in detail yet. Would you like to go in and have a look with me?"
Hearing Fang Mo's invitation, Ancient One also gave it some thought.
From his past actions, it was not hard to see that Fang Mo was different from the typical dimensional demons.
It seemed that leaving his own dimension did not greatly affect him, but conversely, his way of using the power of his dimension was also quite special, not directly drawing power, but more like interfering with or twisting the rules.
Fang Mo nodded and then continued to Ancient One: "Come on, show me a few more spells."
"..."
Ancient One was somewhat speechless, but still rubbed the orange-red magic circle.
In the next second, she clasped her hands together and then pulled outward, suddenly pulling out a ball of bright cyan weird liquid, which quickly solidified into a weapon resembling a crystal.
At the same time, new information appeared in Fang Mo's mind.
Abyssal Magic: The Blade of the Coral Plague.
"666."
Seeing this, Fang Mo clapped and cheered: "Keep going, if you perform well, I'll get you an urn with music."
Ancient One didn't say anything, just continued to study the power here. The magic system of Kamar-Taj originally utilized the power of other dimensions. Given that Fang Mo, the master of dimensions, was so cooperative, magic spells kept popping out one after another. Honestly, even Ancient One herself didn't expect that she would be teaching a dimensional god how to use the power of her own dimension. This was utterly absurd, the first time she had seen such a dimensional god.
It's like a baby who can't drink milk right after being born, instead needing the father to demonstrate how to drink milk.
Not that it's not possible... it just feels really strange.
Anyway, after a bit of research, Fang Mo became somewhat interested, so he simply took Ancient One to other dimensions, such as the second layer of the Abyss, the Land of Fear.
Ancient One didn't mind.
After a bit of research, she continued to create magic circles.
However, she had just released two spells when her expression suddenly changed.
"Kaecilius"
Having said that, the Ancient One directly opened a portal with the Sling Ring.
On the other side of the portal, several oddly dressed sorcerers were causing havoc. From the surrounding architectural structures, it was not hard to tell that this place was supposed to be a temple built by Kamar-Taj. Of course, which specific one was unclear, but in Fang Mo's view, the architectural styles all seemed the same.
Without a word, the Ancient One stepped through the portal and immediately began to construct the Mirror Dimension.
The leader of the group on the opposite side looked up, noticed the Ancient One, and immediately frowned deeply.
"Let's go."
Without seeking to fight, Kaecilius directly ordered his followers to move, then turned and ran, clearly aware that he was no match for the Ancient One.
The Ancient One seemed to be holding back, casting a few magical attacks, but she did not pay attention to the portal, so it soon began to shrink. Fang Mo, now without the Space Stone, quickly activated the Ender Shift to follow.
Upon exiting, Fang Mo immediately felt some resistance between himself and the previous dimension.
The deep abyss magic that could be used freely in the dimension felt somewhat weakened. It was unclear whether this was due to the dimensional demon god's settings or the effect of the temple's barrier.
However, Fang Mo was studying dimensional magic just for fun, not intending to use it for combat, so he didn't mind much.
However, what Fang Mo disregarded, Kaecilius suddenly paused at.
He unconsciously turned his head to look at Fang Mo.
"I never expected this, teacher."
Kaecilius glanced at Fang Mo, then suddenly showed a mocking smile to the Ancient One: "You have always been preventing me from breaking the temple barrier, but look at yourself now. Isn't the dark power of Dormammu alone not enough to satisfy you?"
"Kaecilius"
The Ancient One indeed had a bit of trouble explaining, since Fang Mo was genuinely a dimensional demon god. Kaecilius, having gained the power of the Dark Dimension, was able to identify other dimensional demon gods, so making excuses was futile.
"You wouldn't be thinking of using the power of other dimensional demon gods to resist the great Dormammu, would you?"
Seeing the Ancient One silent, Kaecilius immediately spoke up: "It's useless. Dormammu is a great existence that transcends all, even granting us the power of eternal life. I will eventually kill you and bring the Dark Dimension's descent!"
