A woman who looked somewhat similar to Yuan Yi was eating some kind of bizarre dish while enthusiastically recommending it to the boy next to her.
"Well, if my sense of taste ever goes bad, I'll consider eating a little bit."
With a calm expression, the young Amui declined the woman's recommendation, making no attempt to hide his dislike of this culinary culinary disaster.
"Furthermore, our mission is to find clues related to the Land of Light, not to eat things that normal people would never eat."
Although her tone remained calm, Amui's words revealed a hint of helplessness.
"Tsk tsk tsk, just as expected of someone from a large tribe..."
“If we weren’t from the same era, I would really suspect that you and Yuanyi are from the future.”
For people living in ancient times five thousand years ago, having enough to eat was already a very good life.
Especially for a homeless person like Maholoba, what hasn't she eaten?
Compared to grass seeds dug out from wild animal droppings, grilled swamp toads do taste quite good.
"But the problem now is that we live in the 22nd century."
Glancing at the greatsword that Mahoroba always carried on her back, Amui rubbed her head, feeling a slight headache coming on.
"Also, don't you think your current outfit is a bit too conspicuous?"
It was as if Amui's words were being proven true.
A group of clearly hostile thugs had quietly surrounded them without them even noticing.
"Hmm, I think exercising after a meal is quite nice."
After a few simple shoulder stretches, Maholoba assumed a fairly standard boxing stance.
Maholoba is a warrior, and a warrior who constantly strives for perfection and reaches the pinnacle.
Therefore, after being recruited by Lu Xuan and joining the team searching for the Land of Light, the first thing she did was to learn the dazzling fighting techniques and combat experience of the future era.
Boxing is just one of the least noticeable sports.
"I hate fighting, and I hate pointless fighting even more..."
Knowing better than to retreat behind Mahoroba, Amui was never a battle maniac.
This has nothing to do with whether he is Tiga's human form or not; it is his character as Amui, as the guardian of Tiga's tribe.
Unless absolutely necessary, Amui is even reluctant to team up with Mahorobaba.
This domineering older sister is suffocating in every way.

Chapter 705 The Order of the New World
The next morning, the time-traveling trio reunited.
"Uh, where have you guys been fighting this time?"
Looking at the disheveled Amui and the delighted Mahorobaba...
Yuan Yi, who was already used to this, updated the program on the three-person communicator while still looking up and politely asking a question.
The communicator in the trio's hands is no ordinary communicator.
It is a trans-dimensional network communicator developed by Lu Xuan that can directly communicate with Zhizi.
It was because of this communicator that the three members of the Time-Space Trio were able to travel freely between other parallel universes and world lines in search of the Land of Light.
Considering the dangers of time travel, the follow-up maintenance department, led by Saki, continues to add various functions to the communicator.
For example, it can be used for universal translation, knowledge transfer, fixed-point coordinates, equipment teleportation, and short-distance emergency escape...
In a sense, this thing is a "treasure chest".
Unfortunately, Mahorobara used this thing to read novels and watch movies, and Amui never used any of its functions other than time-space communication and translation.
Left with no other choice, the only member from the future—Yuan Yi—took on the task of updating the transdimensional communicator's program and maintaining it daily.
To be honest, Yuanyi always knew that the future Uncle Lu was very mysterious.
But to his utter surprise, the other party had already embarked on a large-scale time travel journey back in 2012.
Especially the time-space communicator in his hand, it was simply a revolutionary piece of cutting-edge technology.
If similar technologies become widespread in our future, will space travel equipment like aircraft really be necessary?
No, something similar must already exist in my future.
However, most ordinary people, including myself, have no access to such things.
Yuan Yi shook his head slightly, fully aware of his own limitations.
If it weren't for my identity, and if it weren't for Uncle Lu's urgent need for manpower, I probably wouldn't have been able to become a member of "Time and Space City".
Even so, Lu Xuan only made Yuan Yi a temporary member of "Time City" in the 2012 timeline.
Yuan Yi was willing to bet that once he found a way to successfully revive his father, the first thing Uncle Lu would do was to discard him after he had served his purpose and throw him back into the future.
Sometimes, I really envy them...
Thinking of this, Yuanyi couldn't help but look up at Mahorobaba and Amui.
Compared to themselves, these two beings had already completed their missions in their original timeline and were now official members of "Time City".
Apart from occasionally returning to their own timeline, Maholoba and Amui have essentially settled permanently in "Time City".
"fight?"
Mahoroba tilted her head slightly and looked at Round Wing, who was struggling to adjust the communicator, and said in a low voice.
"No, that was just a simple stretch."
"This world has neither monsters nor dark forces, only a group of complex humans that I can't understand at all."
"I originally thought that such a world would be very peaceful, at least better than the world we live in."
"The result was extremely disappointing; those complex humans were even more repulsive than the monsters..."
When she said this, Maholoba disregarded the Wanderer beside her and expressed her views and attitudes in a simple and straightforward way.
"He's causing trouble for no reason, just because my greatsword looks valuable."
As an ancient human from five thousand years ago, Mahoropa never imagined that in such an era of abundant resources, such barbaric behavior still existed among humans.
More importantly, there is no order in this world that can stop such barbaric acts.
As if it were a matter of course, onlookers had long been accustomed to it and were no longer surprised.
"I'm sorry for giving you a bad impression."
"But believe me, guys like that are a minority."
Slightly embarrassed, the Wanderer took the initiative to explain.
"The vast majority of ordinary people living in this world yearn for peace, and I can guarantee that."
Raising an eyebrow slightly, Amui reached out to stop Mahoroba, who was about to say something more.
"Perhaps you're right, but can you guarantee how long those ordinary people will live?"
Not long after arriving in this world, Amui took the initiative to learn about the history of this world and also knew about the prestige of the Wanderers on this planet.
"You broke the original order and unleashed the beast called 'war'."
"However, instead of establishing a new order, you wallowed in self-pity and secluded yourself in this small city."
"In my opinion, it may not be long before those ordinary people you mentioned cease to exist."
"Whether by choice or by force, they will eventually change themselves because of these endless wars."
Amui's words were so powerful that they left the wanderer speechless.
"If I were you, I should be thinking about how to establish a new order, instead of simply running away."
"Even if this order is terrible, it's still better than the current chaotic situation without order."
Upon hearing this, the Wanderer fell silent.
Because he was completely unable to refute Amui's words, just as he had never imagined that he was not as great as he thought.
In Amui's words, he was like a naive child who casually destroyed the world's order but shirked the responsibility of establishing a new one.
"Ahem, actually... Amui didn't mean any harm."
Just as the situation was falling silent, Yuan Yi, who hadn't said much, broke the awkward silence.
After spending so much time together, Yuanyi had already gotten used to Amui's personality.
Perhaps because she was well protected by the witches of the Tiga tribe, Amui has always been a pure "inheritor of light".
He says whatever he sees and never shies away from anything.
The key point is that Amui also possesses extremely high intelligence and a strong learning spirit, which makes those who have been around him quite uncomfortable.
"It's okay, I accept any criticism."
“After all, Amui is right, this was originally a responsibility I should have taken on.”
A resolute glint flashed in his eyes as the Wanderer examined everything he had done in the past from this completely different perspective for the first time.
"Establishing a new order, whether or not it is better than the old one, is a responsibility that I should have taken on."
"Besides, is there any order in this world that is more deplorable than the old one?"

Chapter 706 The Mefilas Alien
On a massive silver planet nestled within a spacetime rift.
Unlike the desolation at first sight.
After a year of development and expansion, various different food chains and natural landscapes have emerged on the huge silver planet.
Especially striking is the sudden rise of a massive city at the end of that tranquil, nano-river.
Compared to that super-large city that was just a collection of mechanical factories, without any attributes related to food, clothing, housing, or transportation.
The new city that has sprung up before us not only boasts a complete living system, but its infrastructure and facilities are also full of human-centered design.
Most importantly, there are indeed living people in this new megacity.
Or more precisely, they were time travelers from other parallel universes.
These time travelers are not necessarily human.
Compared to purely human beings, those with strange appearances actually make up the vast majority.
If you look closely, you'll find that there are even quite a few "non-living things" moving around in the city.
They are not carbon-based life forms as commonly understood by humans, but rather other forms of life that far exceed most people's imagination.
Silicon-based substances exist that are entirely composed of steel...
A stone man whose body is covered in flowing lava...
Plasma organisms that exist only as clusters of light...
Microscopic nanoscale entities born from white dwarf stars...
Information life wandering in the network...
In this enormous time-space city, there are countless forms of life that you could never imagine.
Creatures that are considered gods or demons in other timelines are not uncommon in this time-space city.
Regardless of their form of existence, these creatures share one thing in common: they possess genuine advanced intelligence.
......................................................................................................
"Making guests feel at home" is a phrase I really like.
Sitting leisurely in the tea room specially prepared for humanoid beings, a creature with obvious carbon-based biological characteristics smiled calmly.
The creature's face was as ferocious as that of an ape.
