Amidst the crowd's jubilant cheers, Levan suddenly closed his eyes.

In the next moment, when he opened them again, his demeanor had completely changed.

The original mildness had faded significantly, replaced by the wise gaze of someone weathered by the world and able to see through human nature.

"It's an honor to meet you, Speaker Yasen."

"Speaker Yasen, it's truly wonderful that you've recovered."

"Ya..."

...

At the moment of Levan's transformation, the four people present and some absent all understood what was happening and offered their congratulations.

"Hmm." Speaker Yasen nodded, not paying much attention to the crowd but instead turning his gaze towards Lor's abode, extending his Spiritual Power.

One of his purposes for coming here was to see what had happened to Lor, the young man he had always valued highly.

His extremely concentrated Spiritual Power directly penetrated the Spiritual Shielding Magic Array outside the abode and entered Lor's bedroom.

Then he saw Lor picking up the Continent Communication Device, about to communicate with someone.

Two seconds later, Agular took out the communicator from his Space Ring and, upon seeing that the caller was Lor, looked at Yasen with admiration and said:

"Speaker Yasen's wisdom is truly unparalleled; it only took a moment to resolve Lor's situation."

"No, it has nothing to do with me." Yasen shook his head and smiled, "Although I'm not sure what happened before, it's fine as long as everything is okay now."

"This..." Agular was a bit surprised by these words, even pausing in his action of connecting the communication device.

"Answer it." Yasen said, "Let's call him out and see what happened to the boy before."

"Yes, Speaker Yasen." Agular responded and connected the call.

A light screen appeared before the crowd, and on the other side was Lor sitting on his bed.

"Mentor, you... huh, why is everyone here?"

Lor looked at the people gathered around Agular, confusedly asking, "And Kateya, how did you reach the Second Ring? Levan, why are you... no, Speaker Yasen, you're awake?"

Seeing the scene on the other side of the screen, he felt a bit disoriented.

What is all this?

Even if Kateya had contribution points from an assistant, it would still take at least five or six years to reach the Second Ring.

Levan, even more so, was wearing the Third Ring Great Wizard Robe, something he hadn't even had time to change into himself.

The most crucial point was that Levan's eyes clearly showed he wasn't himself but Speaker Yasen's presence.

Though he wasn't quite sure when exactly Speaker Yasen would awaken, could such severe injuries really heal within five years?

This series of changes all felt very wrong to Lor.

"Lor, it's been thirteen years since you last parted ways with Kateya, and it's normal for some changes to occur."

Agular explained, then continued, "We're all outside your abode now, come out if there's anything to discuss."

"Thirteen years?!" Lor was stunned.

He had never imagined that simply exploring the mysteries of the string and summarizing a pattern would consume a whole thirteen years.

To know that before, it only took him thirteen years to become a Third Ring Great Wizard from a mortal!

"A wizard immersed completely in research doesn't feel the passage of time."

Seeing Lor's appearance, Yasen could mostly guess his experience and gently spoke, "Remember, before you immerse yourself in research, inform those close to you to avoid worrying them."

Upon hearing Yasen's advice, Bruno and the others suddenly realized that Lor had indeed been fully absorbed in his research earlier.

Though they had suspected this before, Lor had just broken through to the Third Ring and immediately found a direction for the path ahead, which seemed too extraordinary.

No matter who accomplished this, it was Lor... well, with Lor, it's not that surprising.

"Yes, Speaker Yasen." Lor took a deep breath, suppressing his bewilderment, and nodded seriously.

In the past, he never had a genuine feeling for research since players couldn't conduct research.

What was decades of wizard research, centuries later emerging, was just a minor version update for players.

But now, he truly experienced the changes brought by the passage of time.

After ending the communication, Lor walked out of his room, first bowing to Yasen and Agular, then greeting everyone else one by one.

"As long as everything is fine."

"Haha, both Speaker Yasen and the Meteor Mage awakening today is truly a wonderful event!"

"Yes, it's a good thing..."

Including Ron, everyone responded with a smile and a relaxed tone.

After everyone exchanged pleasantries with Lor, Yasen came to the light screen opened by Bruno and said to Ron, "Ron, there has been a new discovery in researching Abyssal Demons on the Milton Continent recently."

As he spoke, he raised his right hand and drew a peculiar basic rune in the air using the Fire Element.

"This basic rune is called the Anti-Abyss Energy Rune, and integrating it into a Magic Artifact can suppress..."

At this point, Yasen's voice suddenly stopped.

Because he noticed that at the sight of that rune, everyone including Ron and Lor seemed to have a look of something to say.

"Have you all researched it already?" Yasen asked in some surprise.

Even the Milton Continent, known as the birthplace of wizards, had only figured this rune out five years ago.

The Betula Continent, in terms of both the number and quality of wizards, was far inferior to the Milton Continent.

Being able to research this rune in such a short time was indeed remarkable.

"Yes, Speaker Yasen."

Ron nodded and smiled, "Thirteen years ago, the Meteor Mage proposed the research direction, and in the following month, through the relentless efforts of many research wizards, we finally pieced together this rune."

Truth be told, Ron felt a bit regretful now.

If the Milton Continent hadn't yet discovered the Abyssal Energy Rune, he could have received a substantial resource reward again.

As for Lor's share, it had been settled before.

Unfortunately, due to energy disruptions, the Continent Communication Device couldn't connect the continents, so it couldn't be reported earlier even if they wanted to.

"Thirteen years ago..." Yasen turned his gaze to Lor, his weathered eyes unable to hide a trace of surprise, "Lor, you really do surprise me!"

Even with numerous outstanding Third Ring research wizards, it was only five years ago that the Milton Continent discovered this rune.

And Lor, all by himself, was able to uncover the secret of the Anti-Abyss Energy Rune before so many Third Ring wizards of Milton.

Yasen never considered the Third Ring research wizards of Milton to be failures; after all, even the Continent Communication Device was their creation.

Such a comparison only further proved Lor's extraordinary excellence.

Exceptional in rune fusion, equally outstanding in research.
