It is now the year 2464 on Earth.
The Earth of the Imaginary World.
Fifteen years ago, the last group of humans from the real world evacuated this world, where they had been able to do as they pleased for half a century, and returned to their original home to continue living as ordinary people.
To prevent the monsters of the Imaginary World from invading and spreading to the real world, destroying their last sanctuary, humanity completely shut down the Titan System platform. The connection between the Imaginary World and the real world was severed, and no one knew what their mirrored selves looked like.
Only a very few people remained on the Earth of the Imaginary World and went into seclusion.
However, this "seclusion" did not free them from trouble. Everyone who was not a native of the Earth of the Imaginary World was subjected to targeted attacks—some by the claws of the Ancient Gods, some by evil Void creatures, and some by war robots.
If it weren't for the protection of Titan Aiden, who had the highest authority, these recluses would probably have been wiped out long ago by the increasingly powerful attacks of the imaginary monsters.
Aiden was always the leader of these people who stayed behind.
She was already over four hundred years old, but she still maintained the appearance of a twenty-year-old, and time had not left any traces on her.
Aiden was continuing her research in a permanent secret base hundreds of meters underground when Kate walked in.
"Kate, is something the matter?" Aiden raised her head and asked.
"It's about the experimental equipment you wanted." Kate's expression was a little serious, and she frowned slightly. "It was destroyed by the Overlord's robots during transport."
"Were there any casualties?"
"The injured have been treated, and no one was killed. Don't worry!"
"That's good. Anyway, we have plenty of time, and we can always gather the equipment." Aiden breathed a sigh of relief and comforted the other party.
"You're not worried at all!"
At this moment, a person who looked exactly like Aiden suddenly appeared in the laboratory. Aiden and Kate were no strangers to this.
This was Titan Aiden, reproduced according to the appearance of Aiden, the founder of Titan Heart Technology Company and Aiden's 'cousin', and possessing the highest authority as a Titan.
For the past ten years or so, thanks to his protection, those who had not returned to Earth would have been "erased" by the universe's own elimination of erroneous rules.
"The warp gate has been opened."
Titan Aiden's words caused them to exclaim in surprise.
"Who is back?" Aiden immediately asked.
"Your 'cousin'!"
Kate's eyes widened: "You said… the real Aiden?"
"Yes, that's right."
According to the settings left by Titan Aiden in the Eternal Kingdom, only Aiden or the joint efforts of the other two Titans could be verified by the equipment there.
Titan Aiden sensed the aura at the other end of the warp gate, so he confirmed who the visitor was.
"Oh, he's finally back! Quick, let's go to the teleportation port to wait for him!" Aiden immediately threw aside the work in her hands and walked excitedly towards the elevator.
—
Space-time warp is very uncomfortable because people in the space-time tunnel are always stretched and twisted by the power of space-time at will. Sometimes you will see your hands and feet knotted like hemp ropes, or your eyes will inadvertently see the back of your head. That feeling is really terrible.
Aiden had already experienced this twice. This was the third time.
So he didn't panic. After being tossed around for a while, he smoothly ended this space-time journey.
When he could sense his normal body, he found himself in a steel enclosure flashing with lightning.
"Titan Aiden… doesn't want to trick me, does he?" Aiden frowned. He summoned a shield to offset the lightning that kept hitting him. After sensing it casually, he found that the thickness of the alloy walls around this cylindrical, prison-like place even exceeded five meters!
This looked like a place to imprison super prisoners. Although it looked full of technology, it affected many magical rules. If there was a mage imprisoned inside, even if he wouldn't be killed by lightning, he wouldn't be able to escape by teleportation, and even using other magic here would greatly reduce its power.
Aiden came here through space-time warp by following the equipment left by Titan Aiden of the High Temple, but he didn't know where this place was.
But he soon knew—before he could finish looking around, he felt the entire cell begin to move downwards, stopping after half a minute.
Then the electric sparks disappeared, and the suppression of magic was gone. With the sound of gears grinding, a door opened in the iron wall in front of him.
And outside the door, stood three people with different expressions.
Aiden's eyes widened.
"Kate?" He recognized the woman standing on the far left at a glance, and she was also looking at him with complicated eyes.
This was the beautiful boss of the cosplayer studio who had helped him when he traveled back to Earth in 2018 from the Twisting Nether a few years ago.
"Yes," Kate hummed.
Aiden looked at the second person: "Aiden?"
"It's me! You are my 'cousin', right?" Aiden asked excitedly.
"Heh, isn't that right?" Aiden smiled, "You were only one and a half years old when I saw you!"
He sighed with emotion.
Before, in the Kingdom of Time, Aiden, with the support of Aman'Thul, went back to his memories and saw what happened after he left, that is, the period from 2018 to 2449.
Aiden was undoubtedly the protagonist of these four hundred years.
She studied the Titan Heart, developed the Titan platform, created three Titans with the highest authority, and discovered and transformed the Imaginary World.
Although Aiden did not experience all of this personally, he witnessed everything that happened.
He finally looked at the person on the far right, took a deep breath, and then said, "Titan Aiden, is that right?"
"I am," Titan Aiden nodded in acknowledgment.
Aiden breathed a sigh of relief, revealing a relieved expression.
Before the space-time warp, he, Aiden, had a premonition that he would soon learn his true identity. Whether he was Aiden from Earth or Titan Aiden with modified memories, everything would be revealed.
He hoped it was the former, but he felt that it would most likely be the latter.
After the warp, seeing Titan Aiden, he finally felt relieved—since Titan Aiden was here, wouldn't that prove that he was the original Earthling who was born in the twentieth century?
He was not a robot, and his memory had not been modified!
"Let me show you around our base!" Aiden was as happy as a little girl, grabbed Aiden's arm, and pulled him out of the metal room.
This base was the main base for the Earthlings who stayed with Aiden, built more than 700 meters underground, with complete defense measures that could withstand almost all attacks, including nuclear bombs.
They still used the name and banner of "Titan Heart." Now there were more than a thousand Earthlings who had not left in the organization, and several times that number of Earthlings from the Imaginary Earth who served Titan Heart.
It was now 2464 AD, 15 years since the Earthlings of the real world had evacuated.
The historical development of the Imaginary Earth was completely different from that of the Earth in the real world. There was no fantasy technology here, nor was there Titan technology. Its technology tree was not crooked, but it was not very peaceful—to be precise, the Third World War broke out here more than a decade ago.
The final winner was not the United States, not China, not Russia, or any other country. The victory belonged to—artificial intelligence!
These most cutting-edge creations of human technology ultimately became the rulers of the Earth by virtue of their unparalleled superiority.
However, this was not what Aiden was most concerned about. He was concerned about "World of Warcraft," the reason for his isekai, his identity, and various unsolved mysteries.
After taking a tour of the base, they finally arrived at Aiden's personal laboratory.
This was the most highly classified place, and no one could break in. There was no better place to talk about anything.
"I know you have a lot of questions. But can you be a listener for a while?" Aiden looked at Aiden with pleading eyes.
"Now that I'm back, I won't be in a hurry," Aiden smiled.
Speaking of which, Aiden was already over four hundred years old, while Aiden was only in his early thirties at most. He was indeed born earlier than Aiden, but the age difference between the two was very unequal. It must be said that this was also the magic of fate—
"First of all, I want to say I'm sorry—if I hadn't rashly studied the Eye of Sargeras, so many things wouldn't have happened later," Aiden lowered her head guiltily and said softly.
Aiden smiled wryly: "It's not your fault. I left it on Earth in the first place. Sooner or later, someone would discover its secrets."
He initially regarded the Eye of Sargeras as an artifact. His original idea was to use the Stone of Transformation to transform it into energy and then use it to summon heroes. Unfortunately, he transmigrated to Earth in 2018 before he could realize it, and he was unable to bring the Eye of Sargeras back to Azeroth.
"Thank you for your understanding. I will work hard to get everything back on track!" Aiden said, "In fact, for the past twenty years, I have been studying how to solve these problems. I have thought of a way, but it will take a little time to implement it."
Aiden nodded.
"But this may require your help. You will help me, right" Aiden looked at Aiden ingratiatingly, her sly eyes with a hint of coquetry.
Aiden couldn't help but smile.
Of course, he would not refuse to help his "little" niece.
Aiden cheered after receiving a satisfactory answer, and then said, "Titan Aiden knows all your questions. You can discuss them directly! I'm going to make a list of the materials needed!"
Aiden patted Kate: "Kate, let's go out and let them talk!"
Kate nodded, then said to Aiden, "How long will you stay this time you come back…?"
"It depends on the situation, but I'm afraid it won't be too long."
"Hmm—" Kate responded, then followed Aiden out.
As the door to the room closed, Aiden looked at Titan Aiden: "Can you talk now?"
